Tiny Genius Alert! Mom & Dad Better Make Peace-Chapter 487 - 454: Jun, You Are Left With Only Panic

Chapter 487: Chapter 454: Jun, You Are Left With Only Panic

The quiet hallway was empty.

Even their breathing seemed to be amplified by the empty space.

Inhale, exhale, like the sound of a heartbeat echoing in the hallway.

They looked at each other, but neither spoke.

Jian Liangtong’s raised eyes dropped down again as she straightened up from the wall. She moved her numb and stiff legs, brushing past Huo Shaojun. She walked slowly, yet resolutely, not looking back.

Huo Shaojun stared at her back, his upright spine as tense as a drawn bow. His clenched fists mirrored his current feeling of suppressed despair.

Finally, even her silhouette disappeared from his sight.

Huo Shaojun’s heart felt as if it was trampled by thousands of horses, chaos and panic lingering within him.

That overwhelming panic, as if he was about to lose her completely.

Six years ago.

The four girls of G University’s dormitory 5201, except for Jian Liangtong, were lying on their beds, enviously watching her.

"Xiao Liangzi, you’re the most promising among us in the dorm. Don’t forget to give me a hand when you succeed," Wu Runyu said with a tone of envy and sadness.

"Yes, Liang Tong, you’re the only one in our major to receive an interview notice from New Film and Television this year. You have no idea how envious everyone is," Lian Qianqian followed up.

"Society is different now. Beauty can take you anywhere, but without it, you can’t go an inch. Oh heavens, why didn’t you give me Xiao Liangzi’s face!" The quirkiest of the dorm, Tao Yaoyao, exaggeratedly raised her hands to the sky and howled.

Jian Liangtong smiled mischievously, listening but not responding, preparing the things she needed for the interview. She slung her bag over her shoulder and walked towards the door, saying, "Wait for my good news. If I, unfortunately, pass, I’ll treat you all to a lavish meal!"

"Victory!" At the mention of a lavish meal, the three immediately forgot their envy, holding up their fists towards Jian Liangtong, their expressions comically earnest.

Jian Liangtong shook her head with a smile, wasn’t this a taste of reality?

As Jian Liangtong descended the stairs, she saw her friend Jin Jumo already waiting in the hall. She eagerly rushed over, affectionately looping her arm around Jin Jumo’s neck, "My dear Baibai, hurry and give me a kiss."

Jin Jumo, "..."

"Have you prepared everything?" Jin Jumo helplessly pulled away her arm, took off her bag from her shoulder, opened it, and checked the documents she prepared, making sure nothing was missing before putting them back in the bag and returning it to her.

Watching Jin Jumo’s series of actions, Jian Liangtong felt warm inside. She pouted her red lips and intimately linked arms with Jin Jumo as they walked outside, "Ju Zi, I realized you have a real talent for being a good wife and loving mother. If I were a man, I would definitely marry you."

"Marry me for what? To serve you?"

"Haha, exactly."

"..."

Outside the New Film and Television interview meeting room.

Jian Liangtong held her number card and sat on a chair with Jin Jumo, waiting for the staff in charge of the interview to call her.

"If you’re really nervous, take a couple of quick-acting heart pills."

"Pff..." Jian Liangtong did feel a bit nervous at first, but upon hearing Jin Jumo’s words, she burst into laughter, causing others waiting for their interviews to roll their eyes at her.

Jian Liangtong pursed her lips, holding back her laughter, and looked at Jin Jumo, "You’re doing this on purpose!"

Actually, there’s a story behind the quick-acting heart pills.

Jian Liangtong and Jin Jumo had previously enrolled in a driving school together. The first two tests weren’t too difficult, but the third road test, which was fast and filled with steps, made Jian Liangtong nervous as soon as she got into the car, without any particular reason.

On the day of the test, Jin Jumo somehow learned that quick-acting heart pills could help and specifically bought some for Jian Liangtong.

Jian Liangtong, too nervous and afraid she might mix up the accelerator with the brake due to her anxiety, hesitantly took two pills.

Whether it was psychological or the pills actually worked, Jian Liangtong didn’t feel nervous during the test, passing it perfectly in one go.

Jin Jumo’s peach blossom eyes sparkled with amusement, "I really did bring some. Do you want any?"

"No need." Jian Liangtong nudged Jin Jumo with her elbow, laughing and humming, "I..."

"Number 8, Jian Liangtong."

Jian Liangtong, "..."

Jian Liangtong hadn’t finished her sentence when the staff called out her name.

"Hurry up, I’ll wait for you outside." Jin Jumo gave her hand an encouraging squeeze.

Jian Liangtong exhaled, picked up her resume from her lap, nodded at Jin Jumo, and got up to walk into the interview room.

Jian Liangtong was a bit surprised when she entered.

She didn’t expect that in such a large interview room, there were only two interviewers, and one was even facing away from her.

Jian Liangtong felt puzzled but maintained a calm expression. Her gaze swept over the back of the man sitting with his back to her and landed on the man sitting next to him.

The man was dressed casually, looking fair and clean, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses, and as he looked at Jian Liangtong, he habitually adjusted his glasses on his nose with his hand.

Jian Liangtong walked over calmly, politely nodding to the man, "Hello."

"Have a seat." The man gestured to the chair behind Jian Liangtong.

Jian Liangtong then sat down.

The man glanced at the resume Jian Liangtong was holding, giving her a slight smile, "Is that your resume?"

"Uh, yes." Jian Liangtong quickly stood up, handing the resume to the man with both hands.

The man took it and gestured for Jian Liangtong to sit.

Jian Liangtong returned to her seat, placed her hands on her knees, and pursed her lips as she looked at the man. But her eyes occasionally and uncontrollably glanced at the back of the man who was sitting beside him with his back to her.

"Jian Liangtong, G University, studied Film and Television Production?" The man raised his eyebrows as he looked at Jian Liangtong.

"Yes," Jian Liangtong said.

The man nodded, stopped flipping through her resume, closed it, interlaced his fingers, and looked at Jian Liangtong, "Let’s start with a three-minute self-introduction."

Jian Liangtong was well-prepared for this. As soon as he asked, she calmly delivered a three-minute self-introduction as if reciting from a script.

After Jian Liangtong finished her self-introduction, the atmosphere became eerily quiet.

Jian Liangtong’s ears burned, her almond-shaped eyes darted around uncontrollably, inevitably wondering if her self-introduction was too dull or too exaggerated, leaving people speechless and causing this awkward silence.

Regretfully, she reached out to tuck her hair behind her ear and smiled awkwardly, "I..."

"Do you know what this interview is for?"

The male voice was deep, coldly attractive, very distinctive and recognizable.

Jian Liangtong was stunned for a while before realizing that it was the man who had been facing away from her who spoke.

Swallowing her throat, Jian Liangtong turned her body slightly towards him, staring at the back of his head, "I applied for the position of producer at your company. My dream is to become a producer."

Having said this, Jian Liangtong straightened her back and waited for a while without the man saying anything more.

Jian Liangtong was puzzled, somewhat confused as she glanced at the man beside him again.

The man smiled at her, "Then you might be in the wrong place."

"Huh?" Jian Liangtong was dumbfounded, unable to respond.

The man was still smiling, but his expression was indeed tactful, "We’re recruiting an assistant."

"... Wha, what kind of assistant?" Jian Liangtong frowned as if she was beginning to understand what was happening.

"Personal assistant," the man said.

"Whose personal assistant?" Jian Liangtong’s head began to swim.

She clearly applied online for a producer position. How come she’s being interviewed for a personal assistant? Did she misread it, or did the HR department of the New Film and Television Company make a mistake?

Unwillingly, Jian Liangtong asked, "Has your company recently been recruiting producers?"

"Hmm," the man pondered, smiling, "As far as I know, no!"

What on earth?

Jian Liangtong took a breath, refusing to admit it was her mistake!

She clearly saw online that it was a producer position, specifically for a music program. She is absolutely sure she didn’t misread!

"Are you sure?" Jian Liangtong asked worriedly, seeking confirmation again.

The man turned out to be quite patient, "I’m very sure."

"..." Initially convinced it wasn’t her mistake, Jian Liangtong found herself less sure now that the man appeared more confident than her.

Could she really have misread it?

Jian Liangtong sat in the chair, feeling conflicted for a few seconds, then looked disappointedly at the man before getting up, lazily bowing and saying, "Sorry, I might have misread it. Apologies."

After speaking, Jian Liangtong turned to leave without waiting for the man to respond.

"Student Jian Liangtong," the man suddenly called out to her.

Jian Liangtong’s steps halted slightly, puzzled, she looked back at him.

The man stood up from his seat, moved past a long row of tables, and quickly walked over to Jian Liangtong, extending his hand to her, "My name is Guan Yu."

Jian Liangtong looked strangely at the hand he extended, hesitantly shook it, "Is there anything else?"

Pushing his glasses up, Guan Yu spoke quite earnestly, "Although today’s interview isn’t for a producer position, would Student Jian be interested in the assistant position for which you’re interviewing now?"

Jian Liangtong thought for a moment, looked at him, and quietly asked, "What does the assistant need to do?"

"The assistant’s work is relatively diverse. Simply put, it’s to follow Brother Huo’s instructions. Whatever Brother Huo asks you to do, you do." Guan Yu said this while giving a little eye glance to someone.

"Brother Huo? Who is Brother Huo?" Jian Liangtong asked.

"Wait a moment," Guan Yu patted Jian Liangtong’s shoulder, quickly walked over to the man who was still sitting firmly in his position.

Jian Liangtong watched him bend down to whisper something in the man’s ear, who seemed to nod in response. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Excitedly, Guan Yu straightened up again and walked back to Jian Liangtong.

Jian Liangtong’s almond eyes shifted from the man’s back to Guan Yu.

"Here is my business card. If you’re interested, contact me within three days; the benefits are excellent," Guan Yu said with a serious demeanor.

Jian Liangtong pouted slightly, took the card, and turned towards the door.

"Student Jian, I’ll be waiting for your response within three days," Guan Yu’s voice slightly raised behind her.

Jian Liangtong paused, tilted her head towards Guan Yu, "You haven’t told me whose personal assistant I’m supposed to be."

"Huo Shaojun."

"..."

Jian Liangtong had already left the interview room for nearly twenty minutes.
