Chapter 155 The reluctance to give up
Mathilde received an email from a headhunter company in her email. She always received these emails, which usually said that she had some jobs and asked if she was interested in trying it. In order to take care of her weak and weak mother and younger brothers and sisters who were still in school, she had to take multiple jobs, and pay attention to those jobs that were better treated and ready to change jobs at any time.
Her mother has divorced her drunkard father, and all three children have followed her mother. But her mother's physical condition can only do short-term work and her income is limited, so most of the pressure is on Mathilde's shoulders. For this reason, she has to work harder to make money and try every means to maintain the family.
So these job-loving emails are always indispensable in her email address.
She has to read every email seriously, and she doesn't want to miss any job opportunity.
So she clicked on the email.
The email told Mathilde that there was a job opportunity. They thought the conditions provided by the other party were quite suitable and she could try it. But she did not say what job it was, nor did she say what conditions it was, but she just left a phone number.
Mathilde wrote down the phone number and continued to read other emails. If she saw that she was interested and felt that her conditions were OK, she would write down the contact number.
After reading all the unread emails, she called each phone to consult specific information about her work.
After making several phone calls, some were disappointed after asking for specific requirements and treatment, while others could try it.
Mathilde called upside down, recording a row of phone numbers from bottom to top. The last one was the number she wrote down at the beginning.
Mathilde habitually dialed the number, and a voice sounded over there: "Hello..."
After listening to Mathilde's inquiry, the other side said: "Yes, we did receive a job commission here. The other party hopes to find a personal assistant for a sports star. We found that there is a record of being a French teacher for players in your resume. I think you should know more about sports, so I sent you an email..."
"Sports star?" Mathilde asked. Unexpectedly, she was a sports star. She was a little surprised. In fact, in addition to her contact with Chu Zhongtian, she didn't know much about sports. She still understands football games, let alone other sports events.
When she thought of this, she gave in her heart.
"Yeah. Sorry, the client requested confidentiality."
Mathilde expressed his understanding of this. Now that the media is everywhere, the news is also a good target for the media to hype. However, she did not intend to find out who the other party was.
"But I know nothing about sports..." Mathilde felt that he was not suitable for this job, so he refused.
"But your resume means that you have taught football players, and it's not too short."
"That's football, not sports..."
"I can reveal that this client is a football star." The person on the phone chuckled.
Huh? Mathilde was stunned for a moment.
"So, we think you can try it. The salary is not low." The person on the other end of the phone continued. "If you are interested, we can give you the other party's phone number and tell him that we recommend you to go."
Mathilde's attention was attracted by the "football star", and she agreed in a daze. When she came to her senses, she realized that she had already recorded her phone number on the paper.
Do you want to call it?
She was fascinated by the numbers.
Since she left Metz, she has never watched football again, even if it was his game, and she doesn't pay attention to it. She did this just for the him in her heart. From the moment she is quite successful, basically she no longer thinks of him.
But today the "football star" on the phone awakened the dusty memory again. When the other party said "football", his name and face popped up in her mind. And when she thought of his name and face, she actually felt a warmth in her heart, which made her feel comfortable.
Unexpectedly, because of his past, he would actually bring her a job opportunity.
※※※ Since becoming an agent, Meri's phone has been ringing more and more frequently. However, it has been particularly frequent recently because the recruitment information he has distributed has finally received feedback.
Many candidates called to consult for details. Before the final candidate was determined, Meili would not reveal Chu Zhongtian's name, so he just told those people that they were a football star and needed to recruit a personal assistant, then told the job requirements again, and then asked some questions about him to check whether the other party was suitable.
If there is a suitable one, write it down. After the phone recruitment, choose a time to gather all the people who pass the first level to conduct an interview. He is short of time, so concentrated interview is the best choice.
However, due to the high requirements, there are less than five candidates who can be included in the interview list so far. Meili is a little disappointed. It seems that finding this personal assistant is a long-term thing. He still has to hold multiple positions during this period. His wife has complained countless times, but fortunately he just went home to spend Christmas with her, which temporarily alleviated the family crisis. But this is not a long-term solution, because his wife's birthday will arrive in more than a month... He focused his attention on the candidate's personal resume and information. If the headhunter company has a suitable candidate, he will send him a simple resume. If this person is attracted by Meili and entered the interview list, he will ask the headhunter company for a detailed personal resume.
Just as he was reading these resumes, the fax machine beside him rang and a fax was sent over.
He picked it up and saw another resume of a newcomer.
When you open the cover, a person's photo first comes to your eyes.
The woman in the black and white photo made Meili feel familiar, but the fax was not clear, and he couldn't recognize who it was.
Let’s look at the name next to it – Delphin Mathilde Mia.
The first names are very similar, but the last one is different. The man he knew was named Bourgeva, but he did not have the surname Mia. "Delphin" and "Mathilde" are very popular female names in France. There are many names called this, which is not uncommon.
It seems that it just looks like alike... Looking further, the column of work resume is very simple to write.
Huh?
Merry was stunned for a moment.
In this "Mathilde"'s work experience, he actually became a language teacher for players... It's a coincidence.
※※※Mathilde thought about it for a long time and decided to call the client. Behind the phone number is the person's name - Mr. Merry.
Huh? Mathilde was a little surprised.
This was the same surname as someone she knew... Her heart suddenly jumped up unscrupulously.
If this person and the person she knows are the same person, does that mean...will the football star be him?
※※※ Just when Meili was lamenting that there was such a coincidence in the world, the fax machine rang again. This time it was not a fax, but a phone.
"Hello, I'm Merry."
"Hello, I'm Delphin Mathilde Mia..."
Merry is very interested in this female applicant who has a different surname and a similar experience from the person she once knew, especially her experience as a language teacher for players.
So after a simple polite approach, he directly asked the questions he was interested in.
"Miss Mia, you said you had worked as a language teacher for a football player. Can I ask where you did it?"
"Uh, it's... Metz." In order not to think of him again, Mathilde didn't even go back to Metz. Now he mentioned it again. It is naturally inevitable to think of him.
Mr. Merry's heart was thrilled, and he didn't care about politeness and asked, "Can I ask which player you are a language teacher for? This does not need to be kept confidential, right?"
"Yes. Give it to a Chinese player..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by a burst of laughter.
The laughter was over soon, and Meri apologized to Mathilde for this: "I'm so sorry, Miss Mia, maybe I should call you Miss Delphin Mathilde Bourgeva?"
Mathilde is a smart person. After hearing the other party say this, the vague guess in her heart was finally confirmed.
Burgerva was the surname she had used, the surname of her drunkard father. Out of disgust for the drunkard father, she never wanted others to call her Bourgerva. She said that her name was Delphin Mathilde, and she automatically omitted her surname. Later, she successfully divorced and changed her surname to her mother's surname. Her mother's surname was Mia, a German woman's surname, because her mother was German, and she learned the German language from her mother.
"Mr. James Merry?" she asked tentatively.
"It's me, Miss Mathilde. To be honest, this title is more familiar, haha! I really didn't expect that we would meet again in this way." Merry suddenly felt better because he had found a suitable personal assistant.
Judging from her work experience, Mathilde has done a lot of work. Being a personal assistant means being comprehensive. Those jobs have excellently trained her abilities in all aspects. In terms of work ability, Merri thinks Mathilde has no problem.
In the invisible requirement, Mathilde was even more fine. She worked as a language teacher for Chu Zhongtian for more than a year. The two had a very good relationship and knew Chu Zhongtian very well.
This is simply the most suitable candidate.
"I...I didn't expect..." Mathilde smiled a little reluctantly, because she didn't know if she should be happy at this time.
After going around, I went back and forth. At the beginning, I thought I had made up my mind to leave him and deliberately alienated me, and I would never have any interaction with him again. However, I thought that a job opportunity would actually bring him and myself together.
This world is so small, and this fate really makes me joke with myself... "It's easy to deal with now. I'll tell you directly. Maybe you've guessed it. Chu is getting more and more things now, and I'm too busy alone. So after discussing with him, we decided to find a personal assistant to take over my current task so that I can go back from a full-scale nanny to an agent. And those advertisements, interviews, announcements on the show, itinerary plans, etc., all the messy things need a personal assistant to help him arrange and manage. After all, he is no longer a simple football star. He even has a business kingdom in the United States. He needs to worry about many things, so I hope to find a personal assistant who can share some work for him and take care of him by the way. When we set the conditions, in addition to the hardware in terms of work ability and professional qualities, there was also software
The requirement is that this person should like Chu Zhongtian, so that the effect will be better if they cooperate. To be honest, there are many people who can meet the hardware, but there are very few people who meet the software. I have been looking for more than two months now, and you have only found five people. If it weren't for your appearance, I don't know when to find them. Chu has high requirements for the people around him. One of them is that he must be trusted, whether he asked me to be his agent or Xu as his agent in China. This is the case. We first met, then slowly got to know each other through contact, and finally determined this kind of work relationship. As his personal assistant, he is closer to Chu than me and Xu, and sometimes even has to eat and live with him, so if he is a person who does not trust enough, I will not be relieved..." Meili began to talk about the requirements and importance of this job.
"So if I can, I really hope to find people who have had contact with him and have a good relationship. But there are too few such people. Fortunately, you are here, haha!"
In fact, when Merry said, "This person should be better off like Chu Zhongtian", Mathilde began to get distracted. She didn't just like that person... "...Anyway, I think this job is suitable for you. What are your ideas, Miss Mathilde?"
Merry's words returned to Mathilde's ears, and she came to her senses, but she didn't know how to answer.
Actually, she didn't want to have anything to do with that person anymore, because she had already made up her mind to leave. But the deliberate distance over the past few years actually means that she has never forgotten that person in her heart? Otherwise, why should she deliberately avoid it?
I have been separated for more than two years, but now when I think about it, I realize that those years still have a taste in her heart.
When she left Metz, she thought about it but couldn't get it. Now she was reluctant to give up. The past scenes were played back in her mind, and finally they were entangled together. No matter what scene it was, when it was.
"I...Mr. Merry, can I think about it?" Mathilde finally gave a reply with difficulty.
"No problem, I'll wait for your phone number, you can go directly to my phone, because I can't run around with the fax machine, right? Ha! Do you know my phone number?"
"Uh, my phone was actually stolen, and my phone number was gone..." In fact, it was not that the phone was stolen, but that she gave up the card she had used before, changed to a new phone number, a new surname, and a new identity, just to cut off the past and say goodbye to the feelings she couldn't bear but couldn't get.
"Okay, no problem, I'll send you my mobile number. Then I'll wait for your reply, Miss Mathilde. Besides, I think you're really suitable for this profession and the treatment is very generous. You know, Chu is always generous to the people around him."
Merry knew Mathilde's family situation and she needed a lot of money, so "good treatment" was very attractive to Mathilde. Her change of surname must also be related to family reasons. "Mia" should be her mother's surname. It seems that they have finally gotten rid of that not-so-good man.
※※Merry guessed well.
The favorable treatment is very lethal for Mathilde. She really needs a lot of money now, including the tuition for her younger brother and sister, the living expenses for her family of four, and the medical treatment money for her mother. For this reason, she doesn't even have much money to buy good-looking clothes for herself. Now she is back to the rustic dress she was when she first met Chu Zhongtian.
She is not a beauty at all, and if she doesn't dress up, she will be even more unsatisfied... But the problem now cannot be solved by "high treatment".
Accepting this job means going back to face the old emotions and the cruel reality that is destined to be unable to succeed. Even though you know that you can't get it, you still have to look forward to it every day. You can see that person every day, hear his voice, and contact him, but you must suppress the emotional desires that always come up in your heart.
This is really a torment.
You can't think about it, but what can you do in life? You can't give up what you should give up, just focus on talking nonsense with the past.
That night, Mathilde entered Chu Zhongtian's name on the search engine for the first time. When Chu Zhongtian's news and photos appeared on the computer screen in front of her, it was like a dam breaking out. The longing that had accumulated for several years poured out, rushing her to the east and west, and finally surrounded her and became an isolated island in the ocean.
When the water level was interrupted and the waves were calm, Mathilde took out his cell phone and wanted to call Merry.
She figured it out.
Since I miss him so much, go to him so that I can see him every day. She must face her heart bravely. She doesn't care whether there will be anything in the future. Maybe she will never have a chance, but she still has to face it. Escape is not a way, and maybe she can let go if she faces it.
The phone is connected.
"Mr. Merry? I have thought it through and I am willing to accept this job."
Meili laughed: "This is so good. I think Chu will be happy to see his old friend again."
Would he be happy to see himself again? Wouldn't he be upset about it?
Mathilde's heart was filled with tension and expectation and uneasiness.
