Straight Man Qi Yusen
To see such a beautiful view and to hear such a seductive voice, any ordinary man would not be able to stand still.
Qi Yusen was no ordinary man.
The way he stared at the woman that laid by his feet was like he was looking at an idiot.
Then, he lifted his leg and stepped over.
Stepped.
Over.
An Qu, "..."
An Qu was unable to comprehend this even after Qi Yusen had walked far away.
What kind of man was this guy?!
However, An Qu's lips curled up.
Originally, he was just a mission she was asked to tackle. But now, she was interested in him.
On the other side, Dai Yixin and Su Yan walked and laughed. It was as if laughing at others would make it easier to conceal their own embarrassment.
Su Yan said, "That woman is hilarious. Just because she has a nice looking face, she thought she could seduce the CEO? That CEO's seen all sorts of women!"
Dai Yixin smiled and didn't speak.
Su Yan thought she was sad about what just happened so she suggested, "Just like you said, CEO Qi must've heard something from someone and misunderstood you. Don't be sad. If you cannot work here, then just keep being the director at Sky Entertainment! Being a director there is already such an achievement. If that company's not good, it wouldn't have been in the news so much lately!"
Dai Yixin's heart squeezed hard. That damn girl sure brings up everything that makes her feel bad!
Su Yan noticed that Dai Yixin still ignored her and was now even looking ill. She was more than confused now.
She coughed gently and changed the subject, "Yixin, we came so early we didn't even get to eat. How about we go to that Michelin restaurant? Food there is a bit pricey but everything tastes good."
Dai Yixin remembered how she was now unemployed and had to live off her savings. Annoyed, she yelled, "Eat, eat, eat, why don't you stuff yourself to death?! You want to go to a high end western restaurant?? You still expect me to pay for all your food?!"
She was a manager at Company BA abroad. But when she took over the company back then, it was just an empty shell.
To help revive the company, she did everything she could for a whole year and also invested two years' worth of salary.
If it weren't for the fact that it ended up being unsalvageable, she never would've come back here.
After her return, she didn't get to work long at Sky Entertainment before leaving like that. It wasn't hard to guess just how much salary she actually earned.
If it weren't for the fact that she made some money during her Ph.D. years, she would need to sell her bike to survive right now!
Who would've known that her glamorous appearance was just a facade? Reality was that she was struggling to even live.
As she thought about it, she heard two men talk in front of her.
"Third young master Qi, why are you here at Qi Corporation?"
"I'm here to get funding from my brother. I wasn't able to find the national hero so I cannot stop the people from searching. I need more funding to pay the people."
"Didn't national security give the national hero a $300M bonus as a thank you gift? Can't you use that money?"
"How ridiculous! That is a bonus paid to the hero. What right do I have to use that? If my bosses blame me for it, there is no way I can get away by just returning the money."
"Then, why must you find the young girl? If you want talent, then... Why not use the girl I recommended to you? As long as you are okay with the possibility of her getting hurt."
"What do you mean! Of course, I am not okay with that! Plus, she only knows ancient martial arts. She's not trained to work with the police and be a hero. It's better to find the national hero."
"I heard that the national hero can even demolish a bomb. There are so few people in this country who can do that. Even those who know how to do that, do not do it well."
