During the crisis, many engineers left their occupations. Now, they were in demand, especially structural engineers. Bing Shi took this opportunity to gain some experience. Four years of technical high school combined with two years of university in the same major should help her in this interview.

This company was looking for fresh graduates or students in their last years. Young people were inexperienced. They were less stubborn and easier to train compared to veterans.

When she arrived at the company, she didn't need to wait. She was called into an interview room right away. Two men were waiting for her. She recognized them. They were CEOs of the company, both of them around forty years old. They greeted her with a friendly smile and a handshake.

'~ Smile back. You have to make a strong impression with a firm grip.'

'Disgusting.'

'~ Hold it in.'

After their greetings, they started to ask Bing Shi questions about her vision for the future, her occupation choice, and so on. It went smoother than she thought it would.

"Miss Bing Shi, did you send your CV to any other company?" asked one of them.

"No. Only yours," answered Bing Shi.

"That's great. We want to work with you in the future. You can start this Monday."

"Thank you, I can't wait for Monday to come sooner! I thought I'd have to wait for your call," Bing Shi gave a light chuckle fueled by enthusiasm.

"Haha. We need new people like you, that's why!" Both of them laughed with her. This young lady was full of charisma!

Everybody stood up and exchanged handshakes. When Bing Shi walked out of the room, she changed her direction towards the washroom. She closed the door to the bathroom, and after she made sure that she was completely alone, she rushed to the sink to clean her shaking hands. She washed them until they turned red from too much rubbing.

'~You did well. Continue working hard.'

'I don't want to feel disgusted anymore.'

'I'm scared.'

'If I touch him, would I feel disgusted?'

'Please.'

'Only him, don't let me feel disgusted.'

This was one of the reasons why Bing Shi made such a promise to Xuan Mu.

Second reason? She wanted to resolve everything through words without using violence.

Third reason? She wanted to train their patience, to prevent themselves from hurting each other unintentionally — no swearing and hate words.

Fourth reason? They were still young. What if it was only puppy love or blind affection without a future?

Another reason? They had to be true to themselves, not hide behind a fake facade. They had to accept each other's twisted sides.

The last reason? She wanted them to chase their dreams.

While Xuan Mu didn't like to make mistakes in his work, Bing Shi didn't like to make mistakes in her social life.
