Chapter 488: She Still Loved Him
A while later, the young woman who had ushered her in opened the door and said with a smile, “Congratulations, He Xiyan. You have scored 315 marks and 240 is the passing grade, so you’ve done really well and passed the first round. You could rest for 20 minutes and after, we will arrange for you and the other candidates to head to the 77th floor for a graphic design test. You will have to use a computer to amend and draw designs based on the questions posed.”
He Xiyan sighed heavily. She felt that this was the toughest interview she had ever been to.
She realized that there were many people attending this interview and the interviews were mostly graduates from the top universities around the world and had many years of experience under their belt. She didn’t have any competitive advantage over them.
The graphic design test was also difficult, especially the visual interface design questions. She had a few years of experience but she was still unable to do a good job. She didn’t even think she would score 60 marks for this question.
After the graphic design test was over, she was informed that she could leave and that they would be in contact to let her know the outcome.
He Xiyan heaved a sigh of relief after the interview rounds were over. She saw earlier that the starting salary for this role was 18,000 USD a month. This was the highest salary that any company was offering for this particular role.
The salary didn’t really bother her since all she wanted was a job that would allow her to do the things she enjoyed and also meet several new colleagues along the way.
After she left the building, she didn’t return to the castle immediately. Instead, she went to a large shopping mall and bought several outfits. She bought two professional outfits for herself, then went to the men’s section and selected several woolen shirts and two neckties for Ye Hao.
It was 9 PM by the time she returned to the castle with her shopping bags.
“Ma’am, sir said that he would be working overtime today and would be home late. He told you to rest first,” Housekeeper Lu immediately passed along Ye Hao’s message when she returned. He Xiyan looked at her phone and saw that Ye Hao had indeed sent her a text 20 minutes ago but she hadn’t seen it.
“Alright, thanks!” She said as she brought the shopping bags to the room, then went to the dining table to get something to eat.
She did not stay up that night but instead, turned in early. She was a little exhausted after doing so many things that day, so she quickly fell soundly asleep.
She didn’t even stir when her husband returned home shortly after she turned in.
Ye Hao seemed a little fatigued and his eyes were bloodshot, as though he hadn’t had a good rest for the past few days. He had also caught the flu and sneezed a few times.
He lightened his footsteps when he saw that his wife had fallen asleep and tried not to make any noise when he took out his nightclothes.
He soon saw the shopping bags on the sofa and noticed that these shopping bags seemed to contain new clothes.
He walked over and looked through the bags. His eyes lit up with happiness and excitement when he saw that several shirts that seemed like they were for him, and two neckties.
Thank you, Yan Yan.
His lips curved into a smile and he stared these clothes for a long while; her actions had warmed his heart.
She had been treating him coldly during this period and had probably been very disappointed in him.
Nonetheless, he still believed that she still loved and cared about him.
His eyes were calm as he approached her bed and reached out to brush her loose strands of hair away from her face.
