Chapter 282 – Interviewing Xian Zihao II
He was wearing a white casual suit, a sportswear style with a white towel around his neck. He seemed to have lost all of his usual serenity and calmness at the moment.
Perhaps he had just finished taking a shower because his hair was wet and he was wearing slippers with the Aerial Club symbol. Upon entering, he politely shook hands with Wan Shoushan, who was already standing to greet him.
"I almost forgot about the time after chatting with my friend just now."
Xian Zihao turned around and nodded at Xie Mei and Jiang Ruolan. When his gaze fell on Jiang Ruolan, it stayed on her face for a moment. Jiang Ruolan politely smiled and nodded back at him. Xian Zihao faintly shifted his gaze away.
"Wow, so handsome. How can there be such a young boss? I've indeed heard that President Xian is very young, but I didn't expect it to be true. He doesn't even look to be 30, but his aura, my God!" Xie Mei whispered excitedly into Jian Ruolan's ear.
When a staff member next to her saw Xie Mei's infatuated look, he couldn't help but chuckle and say, "The Xian Family is a military family of several generations. They have worked hard for hundreds of years to keep our country at peace and have received a state-level allowance and treatment."
Xie Mei became even more excited. She looked at the staff member who seemed to be very proud of himself, for knowing about the Xian Family. She tugged on Jiang Ruolan's hand. "Ruolan, why aren't you saying anything?"
Jiang Ruolan just smiled. "You've heard all from the staff. What can I say anymore?"
Xian Zihao pulled a stool and sat down. He glanced at them, then looked at Wan Shoushan with a smile, "Should we start the interview?"
Wan Shoushan took out two copies of the information and sat on a stool brought by the staff. "These two girls are new to our Department of Commerce and are in the process of being groomed. I will interview you today. It's not going to interfere with what President Xian does, is it?"
"Not at all." Xian Zihao smiled and took out a box of cigarettes. He stopped for a moment and looked in Jiang Ruolan's direction.
Wan Shoushan thought that he was just looking at the ladies and asking them with his eyes if he could smoke, so he smiled and said, "You can smoke, they won't mind."
Xie Mei nodded her head eagerly, "Yes, President Xian. Go ahead and smoke. Don't mind us."
Although Jiang Ruolan didn't say anything, Xian Zihao's gaze only briefly swept over her lower abdomen before he put down the cigarette box. "It's rare to get an interview from you. I should mind their presence too."
"President Xian is really humorous." Wan Shoushan suddenly smiled. "Since everyone is in such a good state, then let's start. We don't want to waste too much of your time here."
"It's fine." Xian Zihao rubbed his temples and said, "Very rarely do I get out to exercise. I spent all night in the pool and did not sleep much. Now, my head hurts."
"Then let's proceed with the interview." How could Wan Shoushan not notice? Although Xian Zihao agreed to the interview, he was also reminding him that he would not answer any complicated or sensitive questions. Therefore, Wan Shoushan chose some simple questions and did not dare to delve too deeply into them.
What was rare was that Xian Zihao seemed to be in a good mood. He always looked very serious while working, but he was very chatty when interviewed by Wan Shoushan.
After an hour of the interview, Wan Shoushan stood up and shook his hand, "Thank you, President Xian, for giving us such an opportunity. I apologize for interrupting your break."
Xian Zihao looked at the sky outside and said, "The weather today is not bad. You guys always spend time in the office every day, and can rarely go out to relax. Since you guys are here, why don't we play a few rounds together?"
Since no one was willing to reject Xian Zihao's invitation, Wan Shoushan quickly agreed. "Since President Xian has invited us, then we won't be polite. It's rare for us to go to a place like Aerial Club. However, let me tell you first, my golf skills are mediocre."
"What should I do? I don't know how to play." Xie Mei muttered dejectedly at the back. Her eyes filled with anticipation. She wanted to play golf with President Xian.
"What about you, Ruolan?" Wan Shoushan turned around and looked at her.
Jiang Ruolan scratched her head and laughed embarrassedly, "Brother Wan, I don't know either. Why don't you go play with President Xian? I'll wait for you here."
She didn't know how to play golf, but she knew how to play dumb. As Jiang Ruolan expected from this interview, they had to play golf. However, she didn't expect the person who would invite them to play was Xian Zihao.
Without waiting for Wan Shoushan to say anything, Xian Zihao took off the towel on his neck and threw it to Assistant Bai, who was behind him. He glanced at them and his gaze stopped at Jiang Ruolan. "It doesn't matter if you don't know how to play, they can teach you."
With that, he walked out.
"What are you still standing there for?" Wan Shoushan was in a good mood. He took off his jacket, looked at Xie Mei, who had an excited expression on her face, and Jiang Ruolan, who stood still. "Could it be that you want President Xian to wait for you?"
"No, no, but I'm afraid that even if I learn it later, I won't be able to do it. I'll lose face for our company." Xie Mei had snatched the line that Jiang Ruolan had wanted to say.
"Then do you want to play or not?" Wan Shoushan glanced at her.
"Of course I want!" Xie Mei quickly ran to Wan Shoushan's side and grabbed his arm while shaking it, "Brother Wan, if such good things are happening again in the future, you have to call me ~"
Then she turned back to Jiang Ruolan. "Ruolan, let's go together."
In this situation, Jiang Ruolan didn't want to ruin everyone's mood, so she had no choice but to follow them out.
When they arrived at the golf course, they saw several big chubby political leaders chatting on recliners under the awning. There were also a few people playing golf.
Jiang Ruolan followed Wan Shoushan from behind while looking around the golf course. After a while, Xian Zihao came over. He had changed into a pair of sneakers.
Just as Xie Mei was hesitating on whether to follow them or not, two Aerial Club's staff members came over and asked them to go to the side. They handed them two poles and said that President Xian had asked them to teach them (Xie Mei and Jiang Ruolan) how to play golf.
Jiang Ruolan told Xie Mei to go first. She sat under the awning and drank a cup of fragrant flower tea as she looked up at the wide and lush green lawn. This kind of place really made her happy. No wonder people often said that golf was an elegant sport.
Jiang Ruolan had always thought that only those who had big stomachs would like to show off their skills in this kind of place, but now that she sat here, she realized that this kind of golf was not a strenuous exercise, instead, it made her even more tired and joyful during leisure time.
Suddenly an old man brought a plate of pears and put it on the table in front of her. Jiang Ruolan turned her head to look at the old man and the work card on his chest with the words "Aerial Club's Staff" written on it.
The old man smiled and said, "Rarely do people come here and enjoy the scenery like you. These are fresh pears from the orchard. It's cold now and there are only apples and pears. When summer arrives, there will be watermelons."
Jiang Ruolan couldn't help but ask, "Is the orchard big?"
The old man nodded. "Yes, it is very big, bigger than this golf course. These rich leaders and traders usually eat too much food when they socialize, and sometimes they come to F City to eat food at our Aerial Club. The dishes are all grown by our own hands. There are no pesticides, sterile and non-toxic, and they taste fresher than other fruits."
Jiang Ruolan lowered her head to taste the pear. She smiled sweetly at the old man. "It's very sweet~"
The old man smiled, revealing two rows of pure-white teeth, as if he were satisfied with his accomplishment.
"These pears have a sweet and sour taste, but it is better to eat them together."
"A lot of sweetness will make me sick, a lot of sour will make me sad, and even my teeth will fall out." She laughed, "However, even if this fruit is too sweet, there should be a lot of people who like to eat it because it is indeed delicious. Looks like if I have the time in the future, I'll have to try growing fruits and vegetables myself. It'll be even more different when I eat them."
The old man left with a smile. A few officials on the reclining chairs at the side looked at her. Since there was only one woman in the room, someone suddenly sat up, seemingly wanting to strike up a conversation, but he hesitated for a moment, thinking Jiang Ruolan seemed to be Xian Zihao's person. He looked at her for a while and then walked over. "May I know, Miss-"
At this moment, Xie Mei suddenly ran towards Jiang Ruolan and pulled her up. "Aiya, Ruolan, come play with me. This thing is too hard to learn. I can't even get into the hole after playing for half a day. Come and accompany me, let's play together!"
"Alright, alright. Wait a moment." Jiang Ruolan helplessly took her half-eaten pear and walked to the field in front of her. Since she had to hold the club in her hand, she could only put the pear in her mouth. After a while, she ate the pear and watched the staff member demonstrate in front of her.
"Ruolan, look at this. I don't even know how to make a bat swing! It feels so awkward. No matter how I hold it, it feels so awkward." Xie Mei, who was at the side, brandished her gold club. "Look at how easy it is for them to play! Aiya, look over there, Brother Wan and President Xian are competing ~"
The staff member asked Jiang Ruolan to go over and give it a try. Jiang Ruolan threw down her pear core and went to stand on the spot. She held onto her golf club and stared at the hole that was set up for the beginner. After staring for a long time, she still couldn't pinpoint the direction.
The staff walked up to her, put on gloves, and taught her how to hit. Jiang Ruolan's hands were unsteady, so the ball did not fly too far. Her score was almost the same as Xie Mei's.
"It's fine. You have to be patient and take it slow." The staff smiled and continued to teach her how to hold the club.
Jiang Ruolan lowered her head and focused on learning.
"Allow me." A voice suddenly came from behind her.
