<h4>Chapter 1423: Chapter 1436</h4>


    "Work?" Wei Yu let go of her hand, put his hands in his pockets, and upon hearing her speak, his sharp gaze shot at her again, "You’re here to work?"


    Since when has thepany’s system been sox, hiring such an idiot?


    "Thanks for the heads-up, I really need to revamp our hiring policies." He likes beauties, but not scheming ones. This woman repeatedly tried to secretly photograph him; such a woman is dangerous!


    "..." Hiring policies? "That’s for your leadership to decide, we minor yers don’t get a say." An Ruoxi knew her ce, "I believe you must be an excellent leader."


    Seeing the elevator approaching, An Ruoxi seized thest chance to ingratiate herself. The elevator stopped on the HR department floor, An Ruoxi elegantly walked out in high heels but didn’t forget to throw Wei Yu a flirtatious wink, "See youter."


    See youter? Wei Yu leaned against the elevator wall, folded his arms, and kept repeating An Ruoxi’sst words. As a CEO, he usually wouldn’t bother with recruitment unless it’s major hiring requiring his approval, but...


    "Check if thepany has recently hired anyone." Wei Yu pressed the internal line, sitting in the seemingly solid swivel chair, his long fingers rhythmically tapping.


    "Hello," An Ruoxi stood in a fitting professional attire in the HR department office, the HR manager scrutinized her, trying to spot something unique about her, but no matter how he looked, this girl seemed too ordinary, blending into a crowd unnoticed.


    Moreover, her qualifications... just high school? When did thepany’s standard drop so low? Or did the directive giver mishear?


    High school education, no work experience, no background...


    The manager nced at all job positions, none of which she was fit for, let alone the CEO’s secretary position, but it was the chairman’s directive, so he could only nod silently and have a staff member lead her away.


    The HR manager frowned at An Ruoxi’s departing figure, worried he might have made a mistake, so he inquired again, confirming it was correct.


    Watching where she disappeared, he mumbled, "Good luck."


    An Ruoxi quietly sat in front of the desk, facing a mountain of documents, overwhelmed; so many? And she had never been a secretary before...


    "Ruoxi, this document needs the CEO’s signature." Secretary Zhang cautiously approached An Ruoxi, cing a document before her.


    Secretary Zhang had just been rebuffed by Wei Yu, Secretary Li delivering coffee was also scolded out, so no one dared to enter that seemingly luxurious yet icy dragon’sir.


    All eyes were on An Ruoxi; a neer fearlessly facing the tiger. On her first day, even if she made a mistake, the CEO wouldn’t be too harsh, and most importantly, even if he was, it wasn’t their problem.


    An Ruoxi’s arrival quickly spread throughout thepany, an inexperienced high school graduate, a nobody. No one would believe she didn’t have strong backing.


    They wanted to probe. If the CEO didn’t reprimand her, she’d be revered as a Bodhisattva.


    But An Ruoxi didn’t think so; being new, she’d heard Shen Yaoyao say the office was like a wolf’s den, a tiger’sir, a gossip paradise, an ignorant hell. Seeing their expressions, she knew the odds were against her.


    An Ruoxi clutched the document, nervously standing before Wei Yu, his expression cold as frost, brows knotted tightly.


    "CEO, this document needs your signature." She took a deep breath, cing the document before Wei Yu.


    Wei Yu finally shifted his gaze from theputer screen upon hearing her voice, a hint of surprise in his eyes, "It’s you?"


    Indeed, see youter, in less than twenty minutes they met again.


    Wei Yu raised his brows, his sullen expression slightly easing, swiftly signing his bold name on the document. An Ruoxi gazed at the vigorous, powerful handwriting, admiring how much it resembled its author.


    An Ruoxi dazedly stared at the name, it was beautifully written, just as pleasing as its owner.


    "Anything else?"


    The devilish voice rang in her ears, pulling An Ruoxi back to reality. Facing the impending volcano, she shook her head vigorously, "No, nothing else, goodbye CEO."


    Better not to see again.


    "Wait."


    An Ruoxi was about to leave when Wei Yu called her back.


    Wei Yu crossed his legs, hands resting on his abdomen, tapping intentionally or unintentionally, seeing An Ruoxi turn back, he asked, "What’s your name?"


    "..."


    An Ruoxi felt embarrassed and irritated, this guy didn’t even know her name? Then again, she realized she’d never formally introduced herself. Each meeting had been rushed and simple, losing her first bout, truly pitiful.


    "An Ruoxi." An Ruoxi softly replied, her voice tender as cotton, and Wei Yu seemed uninterested in letting her go immediately.


    "How did you get hired by ourpany?"


    How did she get hired? An Ruoxi found it amusing, shouldn’t this question be directed at your HR?


    "Just came like this." It’s your Old Master who recruited me with one phone call, surprised?


    Wei Yu, sensing she wasn’t being honest, adjusted his jacket, stood up, walked leisurely to An Ruoxi, and leaned close, a warm breath swept by her ear, tickling her.


    An Ruoxi instinctively stepped back, her head down, cheeks shyly flushed like a budding flower.


    Wei Yu smirked shrewdly, his icy gaze shing at An Ruoxi like sharp des, "Not being honest?"


    An Ruoxi felt even more frightened, the presence before her, despite the smile on his lips, sent chills down her spine—a familiar dangerous aura she’d felt in the elevator that morning.


    But she was surprised; why did the present Wei Yu differ from his warmhearted reputation outside?


    "No, I wouldn’t dare." The goal was in sight, how could she get him to notice her more?


    Wei Yu didn’t believe these two "coincidental" encounters, nor did he believe a high school graduate could reach the headquarters without arrangements. Her records, reviewed just ten minutes ago, showed a simple background, simple profile, and a seemingly... simple person...
