"Honey, I'm running low on cash. Could you help me out?" In a suburban garden villa, a young man sat on a high-end leather sofa and sighed.
"Shen Lang, I hope you can pay attention to your image. You're really disgusting right now!" Su Ruoxue bit her teeth and furrowed her beautiful brows.
"I just got back from abroad, and I didn't bring any money with me." Shen Lang said this with a lack of confidence, as he had never asked a woman for money before.
Shen Lang had a very casual attitude toward money, but suddenly finding himself in a big city, he realized that without money, he was truly stuck.
The icy beauty before him was his temporary "fiancée," and this fiancée was no ordinary woman.
Her name was Su Ruoxue, the CEO of a renowned fashion company and the most beautiful woman in the business world of Huahai City. She was around twenty-two or twenty-three years old, wearing a light blue dress that highlighted her curves, with her long, straight black hair cascading over her shoulders. She exuded an air of cold elegance.
Besides her demeanor, her appearance is also flawless. Her features are delicate, giving her a natural beauty that could be called a rare beauty.
"You eat my food and live under my roof, yet you dare to ask me for money?" Su Ruoxue had had enough of this incompetent man.
When a woman despises a man, his flaws are magnified beyond measure, especially for someone like Su Ruoxue, a proud and aloof beauty.
Su Ruoxue couldn't understand why her grandfather had threatened to kill himself to force her into an engagement with such a man.
Forced into marriage by a wealthy young man, Su Ruoxue reluctantly agreed to a one-year engagement with Shen Lang. In name, she was Shen Lang's fiancée, but in reality, it was just a one-year agreement with her grandfather and this man.
Before meeting Shen Lang, Su Ruoxue had once imagined that with her abilities, even if he was a worthless piece of trash, she could turn him into a elegant gentleman.
But after spending three days with Shen Lang, Su Ruoxue completely abandoned her foolish idea.
This man was no different from a thug; he was simply unworthy of her.
"Wife, don't be so heartless. You're the CEO of a major company; money is just a number to you," Shen Lang said with a smile.
Su Ruoxue's beautiful eyes betrayed deep contempt as she coldly replied, "Shen Lang, I won't give you money for nothing. You have hands and feet—use them to find a job! I'm going to work now, so don't bother me!"
With that, Su Ruoxue walked out the villa gate without looking back, her face as cold as ice.
The man she, Su Ruoxue, would choose must be both talented and handsome, a pillar of society—he could never be this kind of good-for-nothing!
Shen Lang's expression darkened. Being looked down upon by a woman like that was something no man could tolerate.
"It's just finding a job. Like I can't find one?" Shen Lang muttered to himself, standing up from the sofa.
Having been involved in murder and arson every day, he had been disconnected from normal life for too long, and for a moment, Shen Lang really didn't know what kind of job to look for.
The fastest way to make money was to rob people, which was child's play for Shen Lang. However, there were certain things he was too proud to do.
Everything will work out in the end. After leaving the villa complex, Shen Lang wandered aimlessly through the streets of Huahai City.
It was only June, but Huahai City was already unbearably hot.
"In this heat, where am I supposed to find a job? I can't just go and carry bricks, can I?"
As he walked, Shen Lang pondered what kind of job to look for. Along the way, he saw many job postings, but they were mostly for restaurants, hotels, or even KTV venues.
Such jobs were not something Shen Lang would consider.
As he walked, it was around 10 a.m. before he realized he had arrived at the bustling commercial district in the city center.
By chance, Shen Lang noticed a poster advertising a job fair on the ground floor of a corporate building. He walked over with interest.
"Lingya International Fashion Group is currently hiring several high-paying staff members. Positions are available in various departments. We welcome you to attend this job fair."
The notice read something along those lines.
"Lingya International Fashion Group? Isn't that the company owned by the Ice Queen?" Shen Lang became a bit curious.
Shen Lang didn't know much about the Ice Queen, but he was aware of some information about her. Su Ruoxue was the president of Lingya International Fashion Group.
Originally, Shen Lang was a bit reluctant to work under Ice Queen, but the job here seemed quite suitable for him.
Regardless, he had to find a job first. Shen Lang couldn't stand the disdainful glances from Ice Queen at home anymore.
Shen Lang tidied up the collar of his floral shirt and walked into the company building.
At the job fair on the second floor, Shen Lang saw many young people applying for jobs, all dressed in suits and ties, looking well-prepared. Shen Lang, however, stood out in his floral shirt.
"Sir, are you here to apply for a job?" a young woman at the front desk approached and asked, her voice sweet and her appearance cute.
Shen Lang nodded and smiled, "Yes. May I ask, beautiful lady, which department offers the highest salary?"
The young woman paused for a moment before laughing, "Handsome guy, you're so funny. Why didn't you ask which department has the most beautiful women?"
Shen Lang scratched his head, "Beautiful lady, I'm serious. I'm not joking."
The girl appraised Shen Lang. Although he was dressed casually, she could tell that his clothes were expensive.
Maybe he was some rich kid here to flirt with girls, she teased. "The highest-paying department is definitely our PR department. We're currently looking for a manager. Why don't you give it a try, handsome?"
"Great, great, thanks, beautiful lady." Shen Lang was delighted. A PR department manager sounded pretty impressive.
Soon, Shen Lang went to the queue to collect the application forms and filled in his information.
The PR department manager position required strong communication skills and proficiency in three languages: English, Italian, and French.
The requirements did not mention educational background. Lingya International's job fair prioritized ability over education, with strict evaluations. Besides, someone who could speak three foreign languages would certainly have a high educational background.
"Bro, are you here to apply for the PR department too?" At that moment, a fat man suddenly tapped Shen Lang on the shoulder.
"Yeah, are you too?" Shen Lang turned around and looked at the fat man in confusion.
The man was wearing a high-end suit from Golden Horse, clearly a wealthy heir, yet he was also applying for a job?
The man gave Shen Lang a disdainful look: "Bro, let's not pretend. That custom-made Givenchy floral shirt you're wearing must have cost at least ten thousand yuan, right? Why are you applying for a job while wearing such expensive clothes? Tell me, which girl in the PR department have you set your sights on?"
Shen Lang was taken aback. The shirt he was wearing had been picked out for him by his younger female classmate. Though it was a bit flashy, ordinary people wouldn't notice, but he hadn't expected the fat man to recognize it.
Shen Lang cleared his throat and said seriously, "Brother, I'm here to apply for a job, not to pick up girls."
"Bro, that's not cool! The PR department at Lingya International is full of women, and they're the most beautiful women in the business world of Huahai City. If you're applying for the PR department, what else are you there for besides picking up girls?" The fat guy rolled his eyes.
"Holy crap! All women?"
Shen Lang was stunned. Could it be that the girl before was just teasing him?
However, looking at the job posting, the PR department was indeed short one manager.
"Bro, you're better-looking than me and richer too. Let me make this clear: I have my eye on Lin Cairen from the PR department. Don't try to steal her from me." The fat guy couldn't resist whispering in Shen Lang's ear.
Shen Lang rolled his eyes, thinking to himself, "You city folks sure know how to play the game. You even use job fairs as places to pick up girls."
