Chapter 6

Since being with Yu Tao, she has rarely taken the time to dress herself up. After their breakup, she looked in the mirror carefully and was startled to realize that, at some point, her once youthful and innocent features had lost their luster, and her skin no longer retained its previous softness and elasticity without the aid of cosmetics. At twenty-six, her complexion appeared slightly yellow and dull, her hair was split and withered due to neglect, her eyes were weary, and the corners of her mouth drooped, presenting a picture of misfortune. It is no wonder that Bai Ze had previously criticized her so harshly. You Jia, looking at herself in this state, felt equally sorrowful, lamenting not only the six years of her youth wasted on someone unworthy but also her own lack of ambition. At twenty-six, her complexion appeared slightly yellow and dull, her hair was split and withered due to neglect, her eyes were weary, and the corners of her mouth drooped, presenting a picture of misfortune. It is no wonder that Bai Ze had previously criticized her so harshly. You Jia, looking at herself in this state, felt equally sorrowful, lamenting not only the six years of her youth wasted on someone unworthy but also her own lack of ambition.

Bai Ze sneered: "I don't think so. A pretentious and affected woman like Fu Ying is only someone you would be interested in. Once you marry her and see her without makeup, I estimate you will never feel attracted to any woman for the rest of your life"

After walking just a few steps, she saw Boze standing not far away, talking to someone

As soon as she took a step, she heard Boze calling her: "You Jia!"

At this moment, You Jia also realized that the "bystander" she had just been speaking to Bai Ze actually possessed a face so handsome that it could captivate people of all ages and genders in an instant

"I apologize, Mr. Wang. I was misled by one-sided information; this is my oversight. To be honest, Miss You's resume is outstanding, and we originally intended to hire her." The HR manager, having spent a long time in the workplace, had long cultivated the ability to self-correct in front of the boss. She straightforwardly admitted her mistake in front of him and then smiled at You Jia, saying, "Miss You, I wonder if you would be available to come in for onboarding tomorrow?"

Wang Yue pointed at You Jia and said, "Then you explain why she was not hired"

Youjia used to believe that work was optional and that women should ultimately prioritize their families, which is why she never paid much attention to promotions or salary increases

Wei Shizhu raised an eyebrow: "Bai Shao, I think it would be better for you to worry about yourself. I heard that Bai Shibo and the others have been quite dissatisfied with you lately. If you continue to bring someone like this..." He glanced at You Jia up and down, and after a while, he chuckled softly and continued, "If a woman shows up before them, I believe that in a fit of anger, Bai Shibo might very well strip you of your inheritance rights. After all, the Bai family is not like our Wei family, where I am the only heir, with no disputes whatsoever."

Wang Yue glanced at Bai Ze and, seeing that he had no reaction, said: "Please take a closer look at Miss You's resume; I do not want Feilong to miss out on any talent."

HR Manager: "I just received a call from Shangfang, and the caller was Ms. You's former supervisor. They mentioned that Ms. You did not have a good rapport with her colleagues at Shangfang and often contradicted her superiors, which is why she was let go. Therefore, I believe Ms. You is not suitable to remain at Feilong"

The man known as Wei Shao spoke words that were completely incongruous with his gentle tone

This passage is quite profound, especially for You Jia, who is not a newcomer to the workforce. She quickly discerned the underlying implications. Of course, if it weren't for Bai Ze's intervention, even if You Jia were to be hired, the HR manager would certainly not have said such words to her.

Unfortunately, the words that came out of the other party's mouth completely overturned You Jia's first impression of him

No need, Bai Ze clearly did not take that little episode to heart, "I heard you recently acquired two good bottles of wine, so, are you planning to hide them from me?"

Weishi Zhuo curled his lips and looked at them with the same expression one would use to regard a pair of fools

Passersby frequently turned their heads to stare, their expressions clearly conveying: Those idol dramas where rich and handsome men fall in love with Cinderella are indeed all a deception!

Youjia subconsciously felt that there was a conspiracy, but it was also not appropriate to pretend not to hear.

Bai Ze gently wrapped his arm around You Jia's shoulders and smiled at Wei Shizhuo, saying: "You see, this is what I like about her; she speaks honestly, incisively, and gets straight to the point, just like me"

Bai Ze: "Is there any way to resolve this? The people at home always think that I am not being diligent in my work. I just don't understand; last year, the boss of Shangfang ranked among the top three on the mainland's wealth list. Why do they think that making online games is not a legitimate profession? I simply refuse to believe in this superstition."

Couples who have been married for decades can still end up divorcing, let alone the fact that she has not yet registered her marriage with Yu Tao. It is truly foolish for her to wholeheartedly focus her life around the man as she did in the past. Whether the outcome is tragic or comedic entirely depends on the character of the man involved. Unfortunately, Yu Tao's character is lacking, which has led to You Jia's tragedy.

Regardless of the circumstances, the other party had good intentions. Especially after receiving this favor, I expressed my gratitude, saying: "Thank you, Sister Ada, I will remember this. You have truly gone to great lengths for me"

However, when she got a little closer, she noticed that Master Bai's expression was not good, showing signs of endurance and nearing collapse. She thought to herself that it would be better not to seek trouble, as she might become collateral damage if he was in a bad mood again. Thus, she decisively halted her steps and changed direction.

The HR manager asked Lisa to attend to other matters, while she personally explained the company's basic policies and onboarding considerations to You Jia. In the end, she said: "Come here to find me tomorrow, and I will take you to meet your supervisor. Don't worry too much; your supervisor is quite nice and easy to get along with. Someone like you, with experience in a large company, will definitely be valued by your supervisor."

You Jia was left with a face full of questions, unsure of what Bai Ze intended to achieve

You Jia's body hair stood on end in an instant

Bai Ze beckons with a smile, graceful and charming

You Jia originally intended to step forward to greet and thank Bai Ze for his verbal assistance. Although Bai Shao's remarks were somewhat unrefined, without him today, You Jia would not have secured this job. Regardless, she must express her gratitude; otherwise, it would truly be an act of ingratitude.

The HR manager was scolded to the point of embarrassment, and in her heart, she had already cursed Ren Jing's entire family for causing her to lose face, conveniently placing them on her permanent blacklist

The smile of the HR manager suddenly froze: "Mr. Wang, I do not understand..."

Wang Yue: "Consider how many bottles you have taken from me; this is merely a temporary solution and does not address the root of the problem"

She exited the grand gate of Feilong and decided to first visit the real estate agency to look at some houses. The place she currently resides in is filled with memories of the two of them; it used to feel warm, but now it seems increasingly awkward. Especially, she wishes she could quickly find a new house and move out as soon as possible

To be honest, Boze can already be considered a standard example of a wealthy and handsome man, but compared to this man, he still seems to fall a little short. Upon seeing him, Youjia couldn't help but be momentarily stunned.

You Jia : `` ... ... ''

With Bai Ze causing such a disturbance, the HR manager's attitude towards You Jia was softer than a spring breeze and warmer than a hearth. In her mind, she must have equated You Jia with someone who has connections. In the past, You Jia might have felt anxious, but now she has long since come to terms with it. In today's society, being perceived as having connections is far better than being seen as someone with no background and easy to bully. Even if this is merely a misunderstanding, as long as it can make her future career smoother, there is no need for her to correct this pleasant little misunderstanding.

But now, she understands that her thoughts were utterly misguided; there is no one in this world who is absolutely reliable. It would certainly be wonderful to have a partner with whom to share mutual support and grow old together, but what if that is not the case

Wang Yue glared: "Are you a rabbit's ear? Where did you get this information? How is it that every little movement here is known to you?"

The HR manager smiled and said, "What trouble? We will be colleagues from now on!"

The next moment, she heard Bo Ze say: "Come, let me introduce you, this is You Jia, You Jia, this is Wei Shi Zhuo, you can call him Wei Shao"

In fact, this matter could not be simpler. The HR manager had a certain rapport with Ren Jing. When Ren Jing encountered You Jia at the entrance of Feilong, she quickly deduced that You Jia was there for an interview. Consequently, she made a phone call to the HR manager and spoke ill of You Jia, thereby creating a negative impression of her. After all, she was just a customer service representative, not an elite talent. The HR manager of Feilong hardly thought twice before deciding to dismiss You Jia. In this day and age, there is a shortage of everything, but talent is the least of the concerns.

Bai Dashao has always been sharp-tongued, and Wang Yue is unable to discern whether what the other party said is true or false, nor is it appropriate to inquire further.

The HR manager quickly arrived, wearing a face full of apologies: "Mr. Wang, is there something Lisa did wrong that upset you?"

Although Wang Yue is the owner of Feilong, Bai Ze's investment exceeds his. The Bai family has its roots in industry and holds significant influence in Hong Kong Island. Consequently, the elders of the Bai family regard the internet and IT-related industries as mere bubbles, believing that Bai Ze is not focused on his proper business, which leads them to have little confidence in him. Therefore, Bai Ze is not in a position to personally manage the company; all specific affairs are entrusted to Wang Yue. Only when the company faces major decisions do several shareholders, including Bai Ze, convene to vote.

Wang Yue coldly said: "As the HR manager of a company, having encountered countless individuals, do you not possess your own judgment? How can you hastily draw conclusions based solely on a few words from others? Where is your professional competence?"

However, fortunately, because she is not yet married, she does not consider herself a complete tragedy. If she were to wait until after marriage and have children, and then Yu Tao proposed a divorce... Just thinking about it this way, You Jia feels that there is still hope for her life

However, the reason Bai Ze is here today is purely out of a whim to come and take a look. After all, he has invested a considerable amount of money in Feilong, and it is only natural for him to check on the operational status from time to time. Who would have thought that upon his arrival, he would encounter such a situation? Not to mention Bai Ze, even Wang Yue feels embarrassed.

Wang Yue: "Where is it inappropriate?"

Even a rabbit can bite when it is provoked. In her anger, she no longer cared to hold a grudge against Boze for dragging her into this situation. She turned her head slightly and smiled faintly at Boze, using a sweet, overly affectionate tone that she had never used when speaking to Yu Tao, and said: "Aze, your taste in friends is really getting lower and lower. The last person you introduced to me, although he had a face full of pimples, at least spoke like a human!"

In a time of crisis, Zhuo Wei smiled faintly, exuding an unparalleled grace

But why bring her in to take the blame

HR Manager: "Because her qualifications are not very suitable..."

As she walked over, Boze grabbed her hand.

Youjia has been struck by his repeated words and glances to the point that her lips are twitching

To be honest, the tall and handsome young master Bai, dressed in expensive clothing, is embracing a petite woman who is unremarkable in appearance and wearing cheap street market clothes. This scene is not just mismatched; it is akin to Prince William embracing Wang Baoqiang.

Youjia : `` ? ''

HR Supervisor: "How about this, if it is convenient for you, I will now explain the onboarding procedures and the internal regulations of the company?"

Bai Ze is a bit pleased: "The old man has been looking at me unfavorably again recently, just right to take a bottle from you to bribe him."

Youjia certainly would not arrogantly turn down the job opportunity that came knocking at her door. Upon hearing this, she immediately said: "Thank you very much, Feilong, for being willing to hire me. I would like to know what time would be suitable for me to come over tomorrow"

The outcome was unexpected, as a certain Young Master Bai emerged out of nowhere, escalating a minor issue into a major incident

Mr. Bai, forgive me for being blunt, but your taste has truly become increasingly low. Is it because the options available for selection are too limited, that you have decided to let it all go?

Before going out for the interview today, You Jia had actually dressed herself up well. She did not have the habit of wearing makeup and rarely used skincare products. In the rush, she did not have time to choose and also lacked the financial means, so she just tried to dress neatly and cleanly. Her hair was still tied up as it had been before. She thought that with a different mindset, her spirit and demeanor would also change, but unexpectedly, she was still looked down upon.

Seeing her shift the responsibility onto others without a word, Bo Ze let out a cold laugh

Certainly, it is not because of infatuation, but rather she is increasingly convinced that the other party is concocting a grand conspiracy

Wang Yue patted his shoulder and said, "Once you achieve some results, they won't say that anymore. There's a party tonight, do you want to go and relax a bit?"

Wang Yue also darkened his expression: "Ada, I now have every reason to doubt your ability to lead a department"

Why do you pause when you talk about women? It is clearly implying that I am not like a woman

Having resolved her work-related issues, Youjia felt utterly refreshed, even her footsteps seemed much lighter. Just a day ago, this was simply unimaginable. Although she still belongs to the category of indebted individuals and has many unresolved troubles, having a job feels like suddenly gaining a source of support and confidence

Should I say hello and offer her a better position?" Wang Yue asked as he watched the HR manager and her team walk away

Considering Boze's previous impatient expression, Youjia can now be completely certain that these two individuals are not on good terms

Bai Ze expressed a lack of interest: "I won't go, I haven't been in the mood for it lately"

Yogea cast a grateful smile at Boze and Wang Yue, and then followed the HR manager out.
