Mr. Zuo

"Guarantee? What guarantee can you give?!" The math teacher gave Su Yixia no chance to make amends. "Your high-profile relationship with Cheng Nuo has already violated school rules, and now Cheng Nuo is lying in the hospital, yet here you are, kissing another boy?!"
Suddenly, a flash of red light flickered in Ye Xi's eyes, and the math teacher's pants unexpectedly dropped to the floor, leaving him in nothing but his underwear.
"Haha!" The male students burst out laughing at the sight, while the female students shyly covered their eyes.
"W-what's going on?!" The math teacher, startled, quickly squatted down to pull up his pants. He distinctly remembered that the zipper and buttons were fine this morning, and he had even worn a new belt, so why—why did his pants fall down?
The math teacher shuddered uncontrollably!
But even in this situation, he didn't forget to turn angrily toward Su Yixia and shout, "Su Yixia, I will definitely inform your parents!"
Another flash of red light gleamed in Ye Xi's eyes, and suddenly the fluorescent lights in the classroom shattered with a loud bang.
The female students, terrified, covered their ears, while Ye Xi coldly slapped the desk, stood up, and asked with clear dissatisfaction, "Teacher, can we start the lesson now?"
"O-okay, let's start the lesson..." The math teacher, bewildered by his own actions that seemed to contradict his thoughts, zipped up his pants and returned to the podium.
Class soon ended.
Ye Xi was the first to leave the classroom.
Although he had managed to control his urge to drink human blood while around people, the scent of humans made it increasingly difficult to suppress his vampiric nature. Fearing he might expose his true identity, he hurried out first.
"Ye Xi!" Su Yixia called out as she quickly followed him, "Wait!"
"Do you need something?" Ye Xi stopped but didn't turn around, asking coldly.
"Who exactly are you?" Su Yixia had a strange feeling in her heart, telling her that Ye Xi was no ordinary person. Otherwise, she couldn't understand how he had performed magic before, or why the teacher's pants suddenly fell down, or why the lights shattered out of nowhere?!
Could Ye Xi really be doing magic?!
"I am Ye Xi!" A red light flashed in Ye Xi's eyes. "Do you have anything else to say?"
"No, that's all..." As soon as Su Yixia finished speaking, Ye Xi walked away without looking back. Watching his retreating figure, Su Yixia frowned deeply. Had she met Ye Xi before?
Otherwise, why did he seem so familiar to her?
Like someone she had known for a very, very long time??
"Xiao Yi!" Only after Ye Xi had left did Jingjing, who had been hiding at the classroom door, dare to run up to Su Yixia. She frowned at Su Yixia and asked, "How do you know Ye Xi?!"
"It was that day on the field when Xu Yue slapped me; he saved me!" Su Yixia tried hard to recall the scene.
However, she was still puzzled as to how Ye Xi had suddenly taken her to the rooftop. Was that magic too?!
"He saved you?!" Jingjing found it incredibly hard to believe. "I quietly inquired about him—Ye Xi transferred here but has no friends. He never interacts with anyone and is always alone!"
"No friends?!" Jingjing's words intrigued Su Yixia. "Does he have no family either?"
"I heard he has a brother!" Jingjing shared the information she had gathered with Su Yixia. "You'll never guess who his brother is!"
"Jingjing, stop teasing, just tell me!" Su Yixia asked anxiously.
"His brother is Zuo Chuan, the youngest eligible bachelor and the CEO of the Zuo Corporation! Do you know? Zuo Chuan is only 25 years old and already owns a company worth billions!" When it came to rich heirs, Jingjing's eyes always sparkled.
"Zuo Chuan?" Su Yixia seemed to have heard of this name before; this person seemed to have quite a reputation.
"But what's strange is that one is named Ye Xi, and the other is named Zuo Chuan—they don't even share the same surname, so how could they be brothers?" Jingjing was also puzzled. "And they don't even look alike, though they are both very handsome..."
"Alright, Jingjing, let's not meddle in other people's business!" Su Yixia frowned and interrupted Jingjing.
"Oh, right, Xiao Yi!" Jingjing suddenly grinned as if she had discovered a new treasure. "Yesterday, I saw an advertisement in Zuo Corporation's magazine—they're hiring a weekend receptionist. You're looking for a part-time job, aren't you? How about we go apply this weekend?"
"A part-time job?!" Su Yixia was delighted to hear this news. "Jingjing, are you serious?"
"I'm serious!" Jingjing nodded enthusiastically. "Let's go work together!"
"Okay!" Su Yixia agreed without hesitation. Her younger brother had been in poor health for a long time, and if she could earn some money herself, it would lighten her mother's burden.
...
In the hospital.
In the VIP ward, a doctor was conducting a full-body examination on the unconscious Cheng Nuo, while his parents and Xu Yue anxiously stood nearby.
They all hoped the test results would be positive and that Cheng Nuo would wake up soon.
"Doctor, how is he?" Xu Yue couldn't wait to ask even before the doctor had finished the examination. This time, if Cheng Nuo woke up, she would never let him go back to that country bumpkin Su Yixia!
No matter what, she would stay by Cheng Nuo's side until he woke up!
The doctor's brow furrowed slightly. "The patient's vital signs are gradually returning to normal; there is no longer any immediate danger to his life."
"Then when will my son wake up?" Cheng's mother, dressed in elegant attire, hurriedly asked.
"That depends on the patient's willpower!" The doctor sighed, his brow furrowed as he looked at them and said, "I suggest bringing in the person he most wants to see, to talk to him, to stimulate him. Perhaps he'll wake up soon!"
"Cheng Nuo!" Xu Yue, hearing the doctor's words, immediately grasped his hand and gazed at him anxiously. "Please wake up soon, won't you? We all miss you so much; Uncle and Auntie miss you too~"
Cheng's father, who had remained silent, sighed and gently patted Cheng's mother's shoulder before walking out of the ward.
Cheng's mother immediately understood and followed him out.
"Why did you bring me out here?" Cheng's mother asked, puzzled. "What couldn't you say inside?"
"With Xiao Yue in there, it's inconvenient to talk!" Cheng's father looked at Cheng's mother with a serious expression. "Given the situation, we have no choice but to bring Su Yixia in!"
"What? You want to bring in that girl who caused our son to be in a coma?!" Cheng's mother immediately rejected the idea. "No way, I’ve already decided that Xiao Yue will be our daughter-in-law, and only she is a match for our Xiao Nuo. Su Yixia is nothing but bad luck! I'm already being kind by not going after her, and now you want me to let her see my son? Never!"
"Xiao Nuo’s mother!" Cheng's father didn't like the idea either, but he knew it was the only way to wake their son. "No matter what, we have to try everything we can to wake Xiao Nuo up, don’t we?"
After a moment of silence, Cheng's mother nodded. "Alright then."
Back in the ward.
The beautiful Xu Yue was still sitting by the bedside.
Gazing at the unconscious Cheng Nuo, staring at his handsome face, Xu Yue's tears began to fall. "Cheng Nuo, I regret it. I regret respecting your choice, regret letting you be with that country bumpkin Su Yixia. But she’s caused you so much pain, Cheng Nuo. Do you know she even pretends not to know you anymore? She hasn’t even come to see you. Cheng Nuo, is this the girl you love so much?"
...
"Jingjing, are you sure they’re hiring a weekend receptionist here?" When Jingjing led Su Yixia to a luxurious and imposing building, Su Yixia was completely stunned. She couldn't believe they would hire a high school student like her.
"Xiao Yi, let's give it a try and find out!" Jingjing didn’t give her time to hesitate and dragged her inside the building.
As soon as they entered, a tall, beautiful woman approached them politely. "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Excuse me, are you hiring weekend receptionists?" Su Yixia asked, her smile slightly stiff, fully prepared to be turned away.
To her surprise, the answer was completely unexpected. "Yes, we are hiring weekend receptionists. Here’s a form for you to fill out."
Jingjing was almost speechless with shock. She couldn’t believe they were actually hiring students like them! It was unbelievable!
Rumor had it that the Zuo Corporation had a very strict hiring process, but could it really be as simple as filling out a form?
In a spacious and luxurious office, Zuo Chuan sat expressionless in his chair, watching the surveillance footage on his computer screen, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
"Knock, knock, knock!" The soft sound of the assistant's knocking echoed from outside the door. "Mr. Zuo, are you in?"
"Yes, come in!" Zuo Chuan replied.
A stunningly beautiful woman entered, smiling as she approached Zuo Chuan. "Mr. Zuo, the people you've been waiting for have arrived."
"Alright, I understand!" Zuo Chuan waved his hand. "Please bring them in!"
As soon as Su Yixia and Jingjing finished filling out their forms, the woman smiled and said, "You’re in luck. Our president, Mr. Zuo, wants to meet you both!"
"Mr. Zuo wants to see us?" Jingjing recalled the magazine cover featuring Zuo Chuan. He looked so handsome in it, and she never imagined she’d have the chance to meet the president of Zuo Group in person!
