Chapter One Hundred and Four: Come To YL (2/2)
Yan Jin felt helpless confronted by Xiao Yu’s twisted words and forceful logic. If it was someone else, he would never have hired a person with such a mindset no matter how talented he was in his profession. But, he had no choice because the person in his arms would probably be the only flaw that he would have for his entire life. He had to think of a way to carefully protect him.
“In fact, you don’t need to spend so much effort on interacting with those people.” Yan Jin carefully phrased his next words, “With your standards and talent, it’s only fair that you get to be designated as our chief designer. As a gifted talent, it’s only normal that you have some problems with human interaction.”
“Gifted talent, am I?” Xiao Yu seemed to be a little lost. Lin Zhou had once said that to him; however, he had not realized that.
“Without a doubt,” Yan Jin answered certainly. “Your works have soul in them. In my entire life, I have only seen two people that have done that before and you are one of them.”
“Does that mean that all gifted people would have that kind of shortcoming?” Xiao Yu asked foolishly.
Of course not.
There were people in this world who could hide their shortcomings in front of others. They had unpredictable talents that were far above the average persons’ and could capture people’s hearts with ease.
Xiao Yu, who was in front of him, was a very good example.
In fact, YL’s criteria for their recruitment was slightly different from others. They cared more about the employee’s ability to interact rather than their professional standards. Standards could be nurtured but interpersonal skills were a lot harder.
However, Yan Jin would not reveal that truth to Xiao Yu.
“Of course, after all, God is fair. They wouldn’t give all good things to one person.”
It sounded logical. But when the same words come from the person in front of Xiao Yu, the supposedly heartening effect was heavily discounted.
Xiao Yu spent a great effort to suppress his urge to ridicule.
*Sigh* How frustrating. Only twenty-nine years old, net worth more than a billion, great looks, extraordinarily talented, and still unmarried, yet he declared that God is fair. His persuasiveness is not even enough to be a salesperson.
Yan Jin felt awkward, but he could not tell Xiao Yu the truth, that he did have an obvious shortcoming.
Moreover, if it was Xiao Yu, Yan Jin felt that none of it mattered.
He would always be there to indulge all his shortcomings and resolve all the problems that he was not good at dealing with.
That was why it did not matter. His Fishy did not need to do anything that he dislikes, nor to fix any of his shortcomings.
So long as he was here, so long as he did not leave.
“So you’re determined to get me into YL?” Xiao Yu asked.
“Of course. YL would never let go of any talented designers.”
“Lie all you want.” Xiao Yu rolled his eyes. “Ever since I became SI’s chief designer, SI has always been beneath YL. All those posts in the forum have been trashing me. Even so, you still dare to hire me?”
Yan Jin took a deep breath before he answered, “You are the one who, in disguise to help YL, attacked yourself just for the sake of making up for that ‘Heavenly Law’ that we don’t even know exists.”
“It really exists. Didn’t I tell you already? I even showed you the scroll!” Xiao Yu puffed his cheeks angrily.
“Okay, it exists.” Yan Jin replied calmly.
“Shove it.”
Yan Jin smiled without a word.
Moments later, Xiao Yu suddenly recalled something, “Speaking of which, can I use the identity as the mystery designer to work for YL?”
“I remembered mentioning that last night, but you said you would be eliminated by the Heavenly Law.” After that last phrase,Yan Jin could not hold back his laughter.
“You’re too much! It is a possibility!”
“It won’t. I can assure you that the mystery designer is you. It would never be someone else.” Yan Jin said confidently, “If you don’t understand, I can get that friend of mine to directly explain to you.”
Xiao Yu knew which friend Yan Jin was referring to and quickly waved his hand to reject him. “No need, no need. I can understand it.”
Yan Jin nodded and continued, “If the identity as mystery designer could give you more confidence, I don’t mind letting you continue to use it.”
“But that’s not going to be easy to explain. I was still SI’s designer when the mystery designer appeared. Working privately for a competitors company is going to affect our reputation. Moreover, I even helped you to deal with my company. If they were to…”
Xiao Yu’s worries were like a never-ending dam that would never dry up. So, Yan Jin had no choice but to caress his curly hair to stop that head full of worries.
“I’ll make appropriate arrangements for that. Believe me this time, okay?”
Whenever he shared a gaze with Yan Jin, Xiao Yu could never have strength to resist him.
He could only accept.
“You promised. You have to fulfil your promise…”
Xiao Yu said softly.
