Chapter 124: Zhao Mian Arrives-A Cat for Every Cat Owner(Wise as snow, cold as ice.)

On Wednesday morning, everyone arrived at the office unusually early. Even He Suzhen, who was notorious for clocking in at the very last second, showed up nearly half an hour ahead of time.

"You're here quite early! I see you are capable of punctuality after all!" Su Zhenxin teased as she spotted He Suzhen walking over with a steamed bun she had bought at the subway station.

"Don't even mention it. To make it here half an hour early, I didn't even have time for breakfast. I was squeezed so tight in the subway that I was terrified my meat bun would turn into a meat pancake!" He Suzhen took a large bite, and the rich aroma of the filling instantly wafted outward from her. "Tell me, this intern... when is he actually arriving? I came in this early specifically to set a good professional tone so he wouldn't see me being late. But didn't he arrive late himself on his very first day?"

"Oh, please, we can't compare ourselves to him. For all we know, he might be here to take over the company one day."

"Alright, you two, enough chatting." Seeing Liu Enming and Wang Shi walking toward them from a distance, Yang Tianqi quickly signaled for them to pause their gossip.

Trailing behind Liu Enming was a tall, thin young man with permed, wavy hair. At first glance, Lin Luyou couldn't help but exclaim to herself: Did this guy just walk off a fashion week runway?

He exuded an air of refined, cool-headed style, and the clothes he wore were clearly worth a fortune.

Tang Xiao, who knew a thing or two about menswear, immediately recognized the outfit: it was the latest early autumn collection that Salvatore Ferragamo had just showcased on the runway.

"Now, Zhao, your desk is set up right here. You can ask Xujia or Tianqi about your specific responsibilities. Of course, if you encounter any difficulties, you can come directly to my office." After giving these instructions, Liu Enming mentioned he had a meeting to attend and left Zhao Mian in Wang Shi's care.

"Everyone, let me introduce our new intern, Zhao Mian. Xujia, why don't you organize a round of introductions?" Having already met him in Liu Enming's office, Wang Shi passed the ice-breaking task over to Chen Xujia.

Chen Xujia was quick on her feet. Once prompted by "Old Wang," she immediately took charge: "How about we introduce ourselves in a counter-clockwise order? I'll start! I'm Chen Xujia, the team leader of Product Operations Group Two. Feel free to call me Xujia. I've been with Max for three and a half years. My sign is Aquarius."

"I'm Yang Tianqi. You can call me Tianqi or Tian Qi, just like the others do," Yang Tianqi followed. "I'm the deputy team leader, and I've been with Max for exactly three years. My sign is Aries."

...

"Uh, hi, I'm Lin Luyou. Call me whatever you like! Like Lily, I only joined three weeks ago. My sign is Capricorn!"

Lin Luyou was the last to introduce herself. Once she finished, everyone turned their eyes toward Zhao Mian.

He simply said, "My name is Zhao Mian," and offered nothing more.

"I guess it's not the trend for guys these days to talk about zodiac signs, haha. Anyway, this is your workstation, and that's your storage cabinet behind it. Everything is ready for you." Seeing the conversation stalling, Chen Xujia hurriedly laughed it off.

Zhao Mian glanced at the desk without a word, then walked over, carrying his backpack and orientation gift bag.

Watching this scene, He Suzhen couldn't help but vent in their private girls' group chat:

[He Suzhen: This guy’s aura is so intense, I felt like I had nothing to say when standing next to him.]

Su Zhenxin, for once, didn't retort and simply replied, "High emotional intelligence comment."

Meanwhile, Tang Xiao silently searched for the matching pieces of Zhao Mian's outfit online and posted the images into the group.
