have you tried?

Console.WriteLine("{0},{1}",(int)hi.add ,(int)hi.mul);

When you use a format string like Console.WriteLine does, the ToString method of each value is called in order to get a text value to insert into the string. When you call ToString an an enumerated constant you get its name. If you want the numerical values then you need to call the ToString method of the corresponding numbers. You get the corresponding numbers as Rauland has demonstrated.
