"Is it him?"
When Bai Lan saw those two words, she couldn't help but recall the figure who had rescued her from the hands of the Demon.
To put it mildly, that figure had left an indelible memory in her mind, even though she hadn't seen his face clearly.
"Lanlan, what's wrong?"
Lan Ying noticed Bai Lan's odd expression and quickly asked.
"It's nothing."
Lan Ying's voice brought Bai Lan back to reality, and she shook her head, saying, "It can't be just a coincidence."
"Are you thinking about your Prince Charming again?" Lan Ying teased Bai Lan with a suggestive look.
"No way, what are you talking about?" Bai Lan denied it verbally, but her pretty face blushed slightly, her gaze lingering on that list, saying, "Ying, let Ye Qiu be my personal driver."
"What?"
Lan Ying looked at Bai Lan in disbelief, unable to understand why Bai Lan had hired Ye Qiu directly without even meeting him.
Of course, that wasn't the main issue; the main issue was that Ye Qiu was really too...
Thinking about Ye Qiu's closeness to her made Lan Ying uncomfortable, letting him be Bai Lan's personal driver was impossible!
"No way, Lanlan, how about choosing someone else?"
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing... nothing..."
Whenever Lan Ying thought about what Ye Qiu had done to her, she gritted her teeth, but she couldn't say anything lest she lose face, swallowing her pride silently.
Normally, Bai Lan might have noticed Lan Ying's odd behavior, but at this moment, her mind was filled with scenes of Ye Qiu rescuing her, and she didn't notice anything unusual about Lan Ying, saying:
"If there's no doubt, then let's hire this Ye Qiu."
Bai Lan, while suspecting this Ye Qiu wasn't the same one who had saved her, felt an affinity for the name, making her unwilling to overthink it, deciding then and there.
"Okay."
Lan Ying knew she couldn't change Bai Lan's decision, so she reluctantly agreed.
"Although Lanlan hired you, I won't let you off this easily, kid."
On the way back, Lan Ying said fiercely.
Thinking about Ye Qiu surrounded by a group of veterans, Lan Ying felt a little smug, "Now he'll get beaten to a pulp!"
Returning to the recruitment site, the room was silent.
"Manager Lan, you're finally back."
"By the way, Manager Lan, there was a lot of commotion earlier, could it have been fatal?"
As soon as Lan Ying arrived, an employee asked.
"What's there to fear? I'll take responsibility if something happens."
Though Lan Ying said this, she couldn't help but feel a bit worried; she wasn't afraid of the responsibility but wondered if treating Ye Qiu this way was too much?
Thinking this, Lan Ying didn't delay and rushed into the room, followed by Bai Group's employees who wanted to know the miserable inside story as soon as possible.
But when they entered the room, the scene before them left everyone stunned!
Ye Qiu was sitting on the chief examiner's couch, casually crossing his legs!
On the floor in front of him lay a group of veterans, scattered all over.
These men, bruised and swollen, looked at Ye Qiu as if they'd seen a ghost.
Especially upon seeing Lan Ying and others enter, the veterans cried like wronged wives.
Their behavior made it seem like Ye Qiu was a demon, terrifying them to the extreme.
"This..."
"How is this possible?"
"Those applicants were all veterans, yet so many of them joined forces and couldn't defeat this one Ye Qiu?"
Looking at Ye Qiu, unscathed, everyone was shocked.
Ye Qiu glanced at Lan Ying's wide open mouth from shock, smiling, "Entering like that, are you hinting something to me?"
Hinting at what?
Lan Ying paused and soon understood, her face blushing, gritting her teeth in response, "What nonsense are you saying?"
"Isn't it?" Ye Qiu suddenly found Lan Ying rather cute, and began teasing her, "By the way, can I be hired now?"
Seeing Ye Qiu's cheeky smile, Lan Ying glared at him, tempted to refuse, but realized no one else could beat Ye Qiu and Bai Lan had already chosen him, so she reluctantly nodded.
"Work starts tomorrow!"
"Okay!"
Standing up, Ye Qiu stretched lazily and said, "I'll head back now."
Watching Ye Qiu's demeanor, Lan Ying felt annoyed, but there was nothing she could do about him. As Ye Qiu prepared to leave, Lan Ying could only roll her eyes.
These actions couldn't escape Ye Qiu's notice, and strangely enough, seeing her like this made him feel relieved, easing his prior depression and frustration.
However, as Ye Qiu walked past Lan Ying, he stopped, looking at her.
"Smack!"
Before Lan Ying could react, Ye Qiu smacked her rear hard, making the room go quiet.
Everyone froze, not expecting Ye Qiu to suddenly do that.
"Hmm, feels nice."
Lan Ying's body froze at the attack, blushing intensely, yet Ye Qiu's comment snapped her back, "Ye Qiu! I'll kill you!"
Lan Ying practically shouted this, unable to bear it anymore; she'd been taken advantage of by Ye Qiu throughout the day, despite never having close contact with boys before, today she'd been kissed and touched by him!
"Haha, just joking, anyway, I'll leave now..."
Without looking back, Ye Qiu ran off.
Watching Ye Qiu's departing figure, Lan Ying stomped her foot in anger, just joking, what a joke!
"Ye Qiu, you wait, if I can't avenge this, I'll take your last name!"
