”You look better today.” Zhong Yuqing said with a smile.

Tang Xiaoyi was in a luxurious office on the top floor, surrounded by transparent glass. When she raised her head, she could see white clouds. It was so close that it made her heart palpitate.

She couldn't help but laugh at herself for being a person who had never seen the world. Standing in such a huge office, she actually felt a sense of oppression.

Especially when he was sitting on the boss' chair smiling at her, it made her even more breathless.

”Thank you …” In the huge, transparent office, the floor was spotless white, like a snowy mountain of ice. On the other hand, the black desk and the black leather sofa made it seem as if she would accidentally step into the air and fall from the height of more than a hundred floors, smashing her body into pieces.

”Sit.” Zhong Yuqing stood up and walked over to the sofa, gesturing for her to come over.

Even in front of so many teachers, students, and strangers, Tang Xiao Ai had never been this nervous. In front of Zhong Yuqing, she could not help but reveal the shyness and restraint of a young girl.

Perhaps it was because of Zhong Yuqing's superior status and imposing manner, but even though Tang Xiao Ai had lived with him for a few days, she still couldn't shake off her nervousness.

Plus, he was in his office today, and the man in the white shirt looked so... It was terrifying, as if he were everyone's boss and... Deity.

This kind of pressure made Tang Xiao Yi even more careful. She slowly walked to the sofa and sat down.

”Zhang Mo Yang has explained it to you, right?” Zhong Yuqing rubbed his forehead. The 3 o'clock meeting didn't end until 10 o'clock in the morning. The year-end was always the busiest time, so he hoped there wouldn't be such a long meeting in the future.

”You … Are you really going to let me... To be the new spokesperson for Lujia International? ” Tang Xiao Ai suddenly understood where that oppressive feeling came from. It wasn't because of this huge office, but because of Zhong Guo.

He had a feeling that he was about to be smashed to smithereens.

”Is there a problem?” Zhong Yuqing asked as he took a sip of the hot tea on the table.

”I'm afraid …”

”Don't say that.” Zhong Yuqing interrupted Tang Xiao Ai's words with a smile, ”Otherwise, you're doubting my judgement.”

He often maintained a modest and gentle smile and tone, but it made people tremble in fear as if they were treading on thin ice. They always felt that there was an invisible edge to this person's gentle and amiable appearance that could accidentally pierce through their hearts.

”I'm not out yet, I can't even be considered a newbie. I don't have any charisma or influence, and the previous spokesperson was an international superstar, R.Y.”

”You think there's a lot of pressure?” Zhong Yuqing asked, as if he could read her thoughts.

”Yes.” Tang Xiaoyi was afraid that she wasn't up to the task. Moreover, this morning, when she went with Mr. Zhang to shoot a set of promotional photos, she was stiff to the point that she couldn't let them go.

”I thought you were a very resistant person.” Zhong Yuqing took a sip of black tea and blandly said.

”This is the first time I've faced such a challenge.” Tang Xiao Ai was able to endure a lot of pressure, but this matter meant that regardless of whether she did it well or not, she had become the focus of public opinion.

Therefore, it was no longer just a matter of living and working pressure, but a matter of public opinion and the responsibility of being unable to bear it.

”Don't you want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to get rid of the dark side of life?” Zhong Yuqing asked again. His expression was still mild. It was hard to tell what he was truly thinking.

Tang Xiaoyi was stunned for a moment as she recalled that she had told him about her childhood in Africa.

Now, sitting in such a pressuring office, Tang Xiao Ai simply couldn't imagine herself talking about those boring experiences with the president who was so high up in the air.
