Ding Yinan placed the bamboo dragonfly into the desk drawer of the guest bedroom and placed it together with the luminous handmade ring.
After living in the house for a while, there would always be a place for things that were “in case you needed them” but “might never be useful.” But right now, Ding Yinan didn’t feel that those things took up space because it was because of those trivial things that the details of life became vivid and bright.
“Look at this adjustable table.”
On the sofa in the living room, Ding Yinan handed the tablet to Huo Zhixiao, who was sitting cross-legged, and then took out his mobile phone to calculate the purchase cost.
“Was this the same model used by Jiushan Office?” Huo Zhixiao asked.
“It was a little cheaper than the one from the office.” Ding Yinan put down his phone, leaned against Huo Zhixiao, brushed the screen with his hand, and said, “This one used a different motor.”
“You decide.” Huo Zhixiao handed the tablet back to Ding Yinan. “I trust my wife.”
When Ding Yinan had been an assistant to Huo Zhixiao before, Huo Zhixiao’s black gold credit card had always been with Ding Yinan. No matter what Huo Zhixiao wanted to buy, he would directly ask Ding Yinan to purchase it, and Ding Yinan would take care of receiving it.
Now Huo Zhixiao’s credit card was still in Ding Yinan’s possession; it was just that Ding Yinan decided what to buy.
“Okay, then I’ll make the payment.”
Ding Yinan entered the payment password on the webpage, but at that moment an email popped up on the top of the screen.
At the same time, the computer on Huo Zhixiao’s lap also sounded an email notification. He clicked on it for a while, and then asked Ding Yinan strangely, “What is this?”
Huo Zhixiao’s work email was also logged on the tablet. Ding Yinan looked at the content of the email and said to Huo Zhixiao, “I posted an advertisement for our studio in the alumni group, and a senior sister wanted to see your resume.”
“Why does she want to see my resume?” Huo Zhixiao asked.
“That senior sister works in the Construction Bureau. Recently, the city planned to build a film museum.” Ding Yinan said, “She read your resume and thought it was good, so she asked our studio to bid.”
Huo Zhixiao pulled the email to the bottom and clicked on the attachment named “Resume”.
In fact, Huo Zhixiao didn’t have a personal resume because the prince didn’t need one. Jiushan Office wasn’t worried about not being able to receive projects, and Huo Zhixiao had never stopped working.
And the resume in the mailbox was made by Ding Yinan for Huo Zhixiao, giving a detailed introduction to his previous awards and outstanding architectural projects.
Huo Zhixiao carefully turned to the last page, and when he raised his head again, he looked at Ding Yinan with more enthusiasm than when San Baisui saw dog food. He put the laptop aside, leaned towards Ding Yinan, and said, “How can I have such a good wife as you?”
“Don’t come here.” Ding Yinan mercilessly pushed Huo Zhixiao’s face away. “It’s working time now.”
“As long as wife is here, anywhere is fine,” Huo Zhixiao retreated dully and complained unhappily, “You are too rigid.”

“How about I give you a rigid try on the bed?” Ding Yinan raised his eyebrows and asked.

The first job applicant was a third-year graduate student with good conditions in all aspects. Ding Yinan asked a few stressful interview questions, and he became obviously nervous and anxious. Such a psychological quality was obviously not suitable for working under Huo Zhixiao’s hands.
The second job seeker had three years of work experience. The reason for resigning from his previous job was that he felt that his boss’s professional ability was poor, and it would not be good for him to continue working. Ding Yinan asked back what constituted good professional ability, but this person rambled on for a long time and said a lot of empty words.
The third job seeker was a senior freshman. He had the least experience among the three, but he looked very solid and reliable. No matter what kind of questions Ding Yinan asked, he could answer them calmly.
Ding Yinan wanted to continue chatting about the design works, but at that moment, his cell phone rang, and it was the delivery driver who had arrived nearby.
A few days ago, Ding Yinan had bought a tax control disk for invoicing, and now both the tax disk and the printer had been sent over.
“Guo Yi, right?”
Ding Yinan looked at the name on the resume in his hand, then looked at the person sitting across from him, and asked, “Would you like to visit the studio upstairs? We can continue talking.”
Guo Yi nodded and said, “Okay.”
Compared with large platforms with fierce competition, some job seekers preferred to work in small start-up companies because there would be more room for advancement.
Guo Yi obviously came here for this point, and he didn’t show any disappointment about the ordinary apartment building environment.
But Ding Yinan still said, “The studio has just been established, and when there are more people, we will change places.”
As soon as the voice fell, the elevator arrived at the floor. Ding Yinan bent down to pick up the printer, but before he could stand up straight, he felt a soreness in his back, which made him put the printer on the ground again with a bang.
Ding Yinan was still so young so there shouldn’t be an issue carrying the printer. It was just that he had just fought too hard with Huo Zhixiao on the bed recently, which made the muscles on his back a little overworked.
“Let me do it.” Guo Yi took the initiative to pick up the printer on the ground, walked out of the elevator, looked around, and asked, “Which way are we going?”
Ding Yinan reported the house number and then casually observed Guo Yi.
Guo Yi’s height was about 1.85 meters. He had a solid figure and dark skin. He seemed to be the type who liked sports.
After putting the printer in the room, Ding Yinan chatted with Guo Yi again. Guo Yi was also from the countryside. Something had happened at home a while ago, which had caused him to miss the early school recruitment.
He spoke frankly enough, didn’t have too much thoughtfulness, and his design works were above the passing line, so Ding Yinan had decided to hire him to work.
“Do you have something to do later?” Ding Yinan asked, “We can have a meal and talk about our future work.”
“Yes, yes.” Guo Yi nodded twice, the joy of getting the offer was beyond words.
Ding Yinan took Guo Yi to a nearby Hunan restaurant and then sent a message to Huo Zhixiao, asking him to come over for dinner and meet the new employee too.
Huo Zhixiao came to the store in pajamas, and Guo Yi, who was new to the workplace, was confused by his lazy appearance.
“This is Mr. Huo from our studio.” Ding Yinan bravely finished the introduction, then looked at Huo Zhixiao and said, “This is the new employee, Xiao Guo.”
Guo Yi greeted cautiously: “Master Huo, hello, I have seen your award-winning works, they are really creative.”
Huo Zhixiao nodded and said lightly: “Hello.”
Guo Yi obviously didn’t know how to continue the chat, so Ding Yinan had no choice but to pick up the conversation and chat about the next work arrangement.
Not long after, the waiter brought out dishes one by one.
When ordering food earlier, Ding Yinan had asked Guo Yi’s taste, and he had said that there were no taboos, he could eat anything. However, after serving the dishes, Ding Yinan found that this was not the case.
A plate of stir-fried pork had made him extremely spicy. He was obviously sweating profusely on his forehead, but he pretended to be calm on the surface.
“Are you okay?” Ding Yinan handed Guo Yi a tissue, “Why don’t you rinse it with water before eating?”
“I’m fine.” Guo Yi insisted, “Spicy tastes good.”
Ding Yinan couldn’t help but find it funny; this younger brother obviously didn’t have any work experience, and he didn’t want to leave a bad impression on his boss, so he would do whatever the boss did.
“You don’t have to do this.” Ding Yinan said softly, “Work is important, but you don’t have to force yourself to do everything.”
After finishing speaking, Ding Yinan asked the waiter to bring a bowl of boiling water, then boiled some dishes himself, and put them in Guo Yi’s bowl.
“Just say so if you can’t eat spicy food,” Ding Yinan said, “It’s not a big deal.”
Guo Yi wiped off the sweat from his forehead embarrassingly and said, “Thank you, Mr. Ding.”
Ding Yinan withdrew his chopsticks and was about to continue eating, but at that moment, he suddenly felt two death rays shooting from the other side. When he looked up, he saw Huo Zhixiao staring at him and Guo Yi expressionlessly.
Ding Yinan shrugged and signaled with his eyes: New employees, please take care of them.
Huo Zhixiao frowned and protested with his eyes: “Try to take care of me too?”
“By the way, Mr. Ding,” Guo Yi raised his head, “When do I start working?”
“The office supplies will probably arrive the day after tomorrow. I will give you some work in these two days. You can do it at home first.”
Guo Yi made an OK gesture and said, “No problem.”
After dinner, Ding Yinan took Guo Yi to a nearby station and told him which way to go to work was the shortest.
After Guo Yi left, Huo Zhixiao, who had been silent all this time, finally broke out and asked Ding Yinan in a bad tone, “Is there anyone like you as a boss?”
Ding Yinan admitted that he thought it was not easy for a newcomer in the workplace, so he was very kind to new employees, but what did this have to do with how he was a boss?
He asked strangely, “What’s wrong with me?”
Huo Zhixiao said, “Have you ever seen my dad personally send the employees off work?”
“What’s the difference?” Ding Yinan said, “There are only two people in our studio, how can there be such a clear class relationship?”
“Of course.” Huo Zhixiao frowned, “His immediate superior is me; you can’t communicate with him beyond the level.”
“So if I want to arrange for him to work, you have to relay it?” Ding Yinan asked.
“That’s right.” Huo Zhixiao took it for granted, “Your boss status belongs to me alone.”
Ding Yinan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, “Where do you have so much absurdity?”
Huo Zhixiao said angrily, “How is this absurd?”
The two of you said one sentence to another, from the station to the door of the house, and they still didn’t talk through the company’s class thoroughly.
In the end, Ding Yinan was too lazy to talk nonsense and took out his ultimate trump card and said, “Huo Zhixiao, who is the boss of the company?”
Huo Zhixiao didn’t continue to argue but still said with an unhappy face, “Wife, you are so ruthless.”
Ding Yinan raised his eyebrows and replied coldly, “Because I’m your boss.”
After saying this, Ding Yinan opened the door and stepped into the hallway.
In the next second, he loosened the tie on his chest, looked back at Huo Zhixiao, exhaled helplessly, and said in a soft tone, “Okay, I’m your wife now; tell me, how can I make you happy?”
