"What an adorable little girl," Gu Lingfei remarked after Jiang Che and Yu Wan'er left.
Yu Wan'er's naturally cute appearance instantly won everyone's affection, much like an adorable kitten that both men and women couldn't resist wanting to pet.
She was truly a charmer for all genders!
"Oh no! How could I forget this?" Gu Lingfei suddenly slapped her forehead.
Yu Wan'er was now Jiang Che's girlfriend, and as an elder, she had completely forgotten to give the girl a red envelope during their first meeting.
Given Gu Lingfei's net worth of billions, her idea of a red envelope was far from just a simple monetary gift.
"Sigh..."
For some reason, thinking about last night's events made her feel a bit uneasy.
"I can't stay next door anymore. I'll move downstairs, or else I'll be up all night every night."
"That brat!"
......
The HR director of LingChe Group had been feeling quite troubled lately.
LingChe Group had just relocated to Dragon Country and was in a phase of rebuilding, with a dire need for all kinds of talent.
They were recruiting highly skilled professionals, graduates from prestigious universities, master's and doctoral degree holders, but few met her standards.
However, the number of applicants for the security department had far exceeded her expectations.
The security department was only hiring one person, but a large crowd had shown up for the interview!
The key issue was... most of these applicants were young, and each claimed to possess extraordinary skills.
"Sigh... why are young people these days so unmotivated? In their twenties and already aiming to be security guards? Skipping forty years of hardship?"
Zhao Yue rubbed her temples in frustration, feeling a headache coming on.
Well, she had no choice but to start filtering them out.
...
"What? An assessment?" Chen Hao frowned upon receiving the notice.
Since when did becoming a security guard require an assessment?
Big companies sure were different. Even security guards had to go through evaluations. But he wasn't worried. The assessment was likely just some combat skills test, and he was a master of the Chen family's Tai Chi, having recently broken through to the late-stage of the Hidden Force.
Besides, he assumed most of the other applicants would be old men, so he had nothing to fear!
But when he arrived at the assessment site, he was completely dumbfounded.
There were at least twenty to thirty applicants, with only a few elderly men among them. The rest were all young, each looking arrogant and full of themselves, as if they were the kings of the world.
Su Han was among them, and seeing so many people, he couldn't help but feel exasperated.
"Why are there so many people? That guy really messed up. Why is there even an assessment?"
The professional assessor for the security department also frowned. This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
"Let me call the roll first. Ye Chen."
"Here! Here! Here!"
Three young men stood up from the crowd, creating an awkward scene.
"I called for Ye Chen. Why are there three of you?" The assessor scratched his head.
"Yeah? I'm Ye Chen."
"How dare you call yourself Ye Chen?"
"Haha... this is ridiculous. Is the name Ye Chen something any random person can take?"
Ye Chen, Ye Chen, and Ye Chen glared at each other, clearly ready to throw down.
The assessor glanced at the list and, sure enough, there were three Ye Chens listed, which left him utterly speechless.
"Ahem... you three wait over there. After I finish the roll call, you'll compete in rounds. The strongest one will get to stay at LingChe Group as a security guard."
"And let me remind you, although LingChe Group is a multinational company, the monthly salary for security guards is only five thousand."
But clearly, none of these people were ordinary. Who cared about money?
Just as oil breeds mold, a beautiful CEO attracts the chosen ones. And in Dragon Country, a beauty like Gu Lingfei was a rare gem, making the competition naturally fierce.
These chosen ones each had sky-high ambitions, as if they looked down on everyone else.
Soon, the official assessment began. The test for security guards was simple: it was all about who could fight.
"Haha... I, Ye Chen, am at the peak of the Ming Force. My Bajiquan is unmatched. Who dares to face me?"
"A Ming Force peak trash like you dares to boast? I, Lin Feng, can take you down with one palm!"
The twenty-plus arrogant young men smirked in unison, creating a rather striking scene.
When chosen ones meet, it naturally comes down to whose fist is harder.
"Damn! A Hidden Force expert? Haha... I've also broken through to the Hidden Force. Prepare to die... What? You broke through too?"
"I can't accept this—"
"Hmph, I, Qin Feng, will remember this grudge. I'll be back."
The eliminations were swift, and soon less than half remained. As for Chen Hao, who was at the late-stage of the Hidden Force, and Su Han, who had reached the peak of the Hidden Force, they naturally advanced smoothly.
"Ha... that was an exhilarating fight. I feel like I'm on the verge of reaching the peak of the Hidden Force," Chen Hao couldn't help but smile.
"A bunch of weaklings. None of them even made me use a second palm."
Su Han's peak Hidden Force strength was completely overwhelming to the others.
When it came to the final round, it was no surprise that the battle was between Chen Hao and Su Han.
Even the assessor was stunned. Was this a movie? Why were there so many ancient martial arts masters?
And their skills were no joke. Since when was being a security guard so popular?
So many ancient martial arts masters applying to be security guards? And the pay wasn't even that great—just a few thousand a month.
A Hidden Force expert could easily earn at least a hundred thousand a month working for a bodyguard company.
Were they all out of their minds?
"Peak Hidden Force? Hmph... I can still put up a fight!" Chen Hao clenched his fist.
At that moment, he recalled his younger self and his sister, who had shouldered the family's burdens alone. After this flashback, he felt his strength grow, breaking through another small realm.
He went from the late-stage of the Hidden Force to the limit of the late-stage Hidden Force.
"Bang—"
Unfortunately, he was up against Su Han, a protagonist-level character. The flashback did nothing to help.
Su Han punched him straight into the wall, so hard that he couldn't even be pulled out.
"Trash, you're not worthy."
Su Han spat a mouthful of phlegm into Chen Hao's mouth, a wicked smile on his face.
"Congratulations, Mr. Su Han. You are now a security guard at LingChe Group. These are your colleagues."
The assessor pointed to a few elderly men in security uniforms and smiled at Su Han.
"Hmph."
The Wolf King was too proud to even glance at the others.
Chen Hao was stunned. He looked at the elderly men and asked, "Why? Didn't you say the company was only hiring one person? Why are there three old men here?"
"Oh, they're relatives of the company's executives."
Chen Hao was on the verge of a breakdown. "Why? I'm a late-stage Hidden Force master! How am I not better than a few old men?"
Su Han sneered, "Haha... if you're weak, practice more. If you can't handle it, don't play. Trash like you don't get to speak."
"You—"
Chen Hao was so furious that he passed out. Combined with the exhaustion from the earlier fights, he was unceremoniously thrown out of the company like a dog.
After barely working for two days, Chen Hao once again faced the crisis of unemployment.
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
