Sometimes, I even wonder if the ring brought me a gentle Yan Di, and then, to balance things out, it also brought me a troublesome A Mei.
Finally, the days passed by carefree. On this day, the weather forecast predicted a sandstorm from the north moving south. Standing inside the window and looking out, the sky and earth were a hazy gray, a gloomy and desolate sight.
However, I was in an extremely good mood, almost to the point of cheering.
Because today, I can remove the bandages. The cast has been removed, and my arm has recovered.
Looking at myself in the mirror, I touched my chin. After so many days of being unemployed, living the life of a rich young master, with two beautiful young women serving me, I've gained a whole size of weight compared to before. I can even feel some extra flesh around my waist.
I asked Amei to help me count, and then I did a few sets of push-ups and sit-ups in the living room. I checked my heart rate and pulse. Amei stopped me from exercising further. She advised me professionally that I shouldn't engage in strenuous activities in the early stages of recovery. I accepted her advice.
However, I started to think about something next.
Work!
Now that I've recovered my health, I need to find myself a job.
Just as I was pondering this, the phone rang. I glanced at the number and pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Mr. Chen Yang." The voice was slightly hoarse, but as elegant and composed as ever: "I am Cang Yu. I heard that the bandages and cast on your arm were removed today. Congratulations on your recovery."
"Oh? Your news comes quickly!"
Cang Yu smiled gently: "Actually, I've been keeping up with your situation. Your nurses report your medical reports back to the nursing company, and the nursing company then gives the reports to me. Don't forget, I'm the one who pays the nursing company's salary."
"Thank you." I took a deep breath. "Miss Cangyu... Brother Huan, is there any news from them?"
There was a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone: "I'm sorry, no."
Her voice was very steady; I couldn't hear anything else in it.
However, Cang Yu's voice then became lighter: "Mr. Chen Yang, I heard that you are currently unemployed and have a job. I wonder if you would be interested?"
My heart skipped a beat.
I blurted out almost instinctively, "Was it arranged by Brother Huan?"
Cang Yu's tone on the other end of the phone was very calm: "No." Then she smiled and said, "It's like this, a friend of mine, who is also a client of mine, happens to need an assistant. He requires someone who is experienced in all aspects, able to handle some social situations, and of course, smart enough. I immediately thought of you. Chen Yang, this job pays well, and I think it's quite suitable for you."
I pondered to myself, feeling something was off: "Cang Yu...you..."
"Before Huan left, he instructed me to take care of you."
I nodded, accepting her explanation.
Regardless, if it's Huan-ge's arrangement, I'll certainly accept it. If it's not Huan-ge's arrangement, but entirely out of Cang Yu's goodwill, then I don't seem to have any reason to refuse.
"If you have no objections, I would like to go to his company this afternoon. Do you have any questions?"
"No." I smiled. "I've been idle at home for so long, and I'm really looking forward to going out and getting some exercise." Then I said very seriously, "Ms. Cangyu, thank you."
Cang Yu smiled and said, "You're welcome." Then she gave me an address.
At 2 p.m. sharp, I appeared on the top floor of a famous office building in the city's commercial district.
The place I arrived at is a company called "Deep Blue Entertainment". The top four floors of this office building belong to this company. The company's reception area is immediately visible after exiting the elevator.
Honestly, I immediately felt dizzy. There was a hot girl standing behind the reception desk.
Calling her a "hot girl" isn't really an accurate description; her looks are only above average. But no one, especially men, would pay any attention to her appearance at first glance...
Just because of her chest... the only four words that came to mind for a moment were: surging waves!
Honestly, aside from the so-called busty women in Japanese adult films, I have never seen such a "perky" woman in real life!
What's even more worrying is that, because the company had the heating on, she was wearing a low-cut top! It made people worry about her, because it looked like the front of her top was about to burst at any moment!
As I approached, the receptionist immediately gave a slight bow, a gesture that nearly made my heart leap into my throat! Then, in a sweet, almost cloying voice, she said, "Hello sir, how may I help you?"
God is my witness!
That sweet, affected voice immediately reminded me of my days working in nightclubs, where the girls' tone towards their clients was always somewhat artificial. But this woman's voice seemed to have become so naturally sweet, almost ethereal…
I coughed, trying hard to keep my eyes from glancing below her neck: "I'm Chen Yang, I'm here..."
Upon hearing this, the busty woman quickly flipped through her records. Before I could finish speaking, she flashed a warm smile: "Ah, Mr. Chen, our general manager has instructed that you should go in and see him immediately upon your arrival."
Then the busty woman came out from behind the reception desk, gestured for me to enter, and led me into the company.
I observed her from behind... To be honest, it was really hard for me to take my eyes off her back.
This woman's face may not be outstanding, but God truly gave her a fantastic figure!
Women with full breasts are usually overweight. But not her! Her waist looks to be no more than 1.9 feet, and it sways gently when she walks, like a water snake, making one's mind wander... What would it feel like if that water snake waist swayed at "a specific moment"?
I wouldn't call myself lecherous, but thinking about it carefully, I haven't been with a woman for over a month. And I used to frequent places of ill repute. Even though I have a daughter, Yan Di, at home, to be honest, being used to such places, I've never held any concept of lifelong fidelity. For me, the more beautiful women, the better.
I genuinely like Yan Di, but I wouldn't refuse an occasional romantic encounter. Seeing such a rare and stunning figure is, of course, a feast for the eyes.
However, as I walked into the company's office lobby, I was almost stunned!
Looking around, the open-plan office, spanning several hundred square meters, was almost entirely filled with young women! And every single one of them was beautiful, dressed in impeccably tailored business attire, their skirts flowing, the sound of their high heels echoing on the floor. Women of all shapes and sizes walked past me, some carrying folders, some holding phones, some carrying small handbags, the air thick with the scents of perfume, and my ears filled with the soft, sweet voices of women…
I felt as if I had suddenly fallen into a maze of cosmetics!
It's not that I've never seen women before. At my former workplace, there were about a hundred women who would gather together every night, chattering away.
But this place isn't a nightclub after all... I looked around carefully along the way, and there wasn't a single man in the entire office lobby!
The boss of this company must be a super pervert! I thought maliciously to myself.
Part One: In the Martial World, Unable to Control One's Own Fate, Chapter Thirty-Six: A Naturally Born Mistress Face
Of course, in a place almost entirely populated by women, my confident stride in as a male naturally attracted a lot of curious glances. Seeing many beautiful women, both young and old, or even aspiring beauties, casting curious looks my way, some even putting down what they were doing to point and chatter at me, I tried my best to maintain a straight-ahead expression.
After passing through the office lobby, the receptionist led me through a door at the very end of the company corridor. Pushing open the door, I found myself in a meeting room with a row of sofas. There was also a very thick mahogany door leading to the room, and a desk was placed in front of the door. A woman who looked to be in her thirties was sitting behind the desk, probably a secretary or something similar.
I glanced at the secretary and was somewhat disappointed. Although she was impeccably dressed and had a refined demeanor, her appearance was unremarkable; in fact, any one of the female office workers outside was far more attractive than her. The secretary looked at me, then picked up the phone, seemingly to inform her boss, before quickly saying to me, "Mr. Chen, please come in."
I nodded to her and pushed open the mahogany door.
This is an enormous office, at least nearly 100 square meters. The floor is covered in gleaming marble tiles, polished to an extremely smooth finish. In this vast office, there's only one enormous desk, twice the size of the secretary's desk outside. It's clearly crafted from expensive mahogany and looks exquisite. Along one wall is a massive bookshelf, densely packed with countless books of all sizes. The floor-to-ceiling window on the left almost completely occupies the wall, letting in all the sunlight and making the office feel very bright and airy.
Next to the bookshelf was a mahogany wine cabinet, which contained about twenty or thirty bottles of foreign wines and red wines.
A woman sat behind a desk, head bowed, holding a fine Montblanc pen, seemingly writing something rapidly, occasionally making a few strokes. When I entered, she didn't even look up; only two cold words came from behind the desk:
"Please sit down."
I looked around and saw that the closest thing to the desk was a chair placed opposite it. I walked over and sat down when the woman said again, "Wait a moment."
Her voice was cold, carrying a subtle air of authority. I knew that only someone accustomed to giving orders would speak in such a tone.
It turned out the owner here was a woman, and I immediately felt relieved about the situation with so many female employees outside.
However, the company only hires female employees. Could this female boss have some kind of psychological problem?
While she was busy, I discreetly observed her.
The woman looked to be in her thirties. I sat across from her, and immediately caught the distinctive scent of Chanel No. 5 perfume. She was wearing a dark business suit… Generally, women in this color of business suit tend to look older, but she looked strange… because her dark business suit seemed to be very fitted, while the collar and cuffs were deliberately designed to be loose, revealing a section of snow-white lining at the front. The top two buttons were undone, revealing the snow-white skin below her neck, and below the cuffs, there was only an exquisite Cartier women's watch, and on her other wrist was a silver bracelet.
Although her face was lowered, I could still make out the outline of her eyebrows and eyes... I must say, she had a very alluring face! The corners of her eyes and the ends of her eyebrows were slightly upturned. Such women are said to be born beauties, and their eyebrows and eyes seem to naturally contain a spring-like passion. When they look at others, people often misunderstand that they are flirting.
However, she wore frameless glasses, seemingly to deliberately conceal all of this.
I watched her for a while, but she didn't seem to look up. She was still busy with what she was doing. I couldn't help but glance at the pen in her hand and the things on the table, and I was stunned.
She wasn't busy with any work or approving any documents; instead, she was drawing something on an A4 sheet of paper.
It seemed to be a blurry mass of lines, and in the shadows formed by the faint lines, a blurry shadow seemed to be outlined. I only glanced at it twice before she suddenly looked up, and I quickly looked away.
"Mr. Chen Yang, right?" She raised her head, looked me straight in the eye, and then leaned back in her chair, seemingly languid, her hair casually draped over her shoulders.
I finally saw what this woman looked like, and I was stunned!
It has to be said that if any man saw this woman for the first time, he would probably have a strange and absurd feeling involuntarily—this woman must be very easy to get into bed!
Because she truly possessed a classic "mistress's face"! Her fox-like, alluring eyebrows and eyes, with every movement, exuded a natural, captivating charm, a seductive allure! And beneath her full lips, a row of fine, even teeth peeked out; her lips seemed intentionally parted, only adding to her irresistible allure…
Fortunately, she was probably aware that her appearance was naturally alluring, so she put on a light makeup. The frameless glasses on her nose were clearly a carefully chosen style. Judging from the shape of the glasses, they cleverly concealed the overly soft features of her face and also slightly concealed the alluring charm in her eyes.
However, having spent my days surrounded by women, I was no match for her skills. I saw through her disguise at a glance!
I stood there stunned for a full three seconds before I came to my senses! Inwardly, I sighed: A vixen! A vixen! This is a true vixen-level woman! This kind of woman is the legendary one, born with an alluring charm. Every part of her is captivating. Even if it's not her intention, God just gave her this appearance. Even when she looks at others with normal eyes, her gaze seems to carry an infinitely seductive allure, as if she's throwing a flirtatious glance…
A woman like this is sexy no matter how much clothing she's wearing!
Noticing my gaze, she showed slight displeasure, her delicate brows furrowing slightly... but unfortunately, even her furrowed brows seemed to carry a faint, ambiguous melancholy between lovers...
Fortunately, I've met quite a few women, so I quickly calmed down and said, "Yes, I am Chen Yang."
She raised her eyelids, as if scrutinizing me, and after a moment of silence, she said coldly, "My name is Fang Nan, you can call me Miss Fang. I happen to need someone by my side right now, and I heard from Cang Yu that you are a good person... However, can I trust you?"
"I'm afraid not for the time being."
My answer seemed to surprise Fang Nan. A strange light flickered in her eyes, and she gave me a deep look. I remained calm and slowly said, "I don't believe that someone can truly trust another stranger upon first meeting them. Trust is a relationship that takes time to build. If I said you could trust me now, that would be a lie!"
Fang Nan's eyes lit up with interest, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, forming a beautiful curve. She said calmly, "What you said is interesting, but it's the truth."
She held the Montblanc gold pen casually between her two fingers, tapping it lightly on the paper, her captivating eyes seeming to grow increasingly interested as she looked at me.
Suddenly, she asked, "What is your relationship with Cang Yu? I'm curious. If it's just a job, she could have arranged it herself and wouldn't have needed to recommend you to me. Besides, she rarely does things like this."
"It's nothing, I've only met her twice." I thought for a moment and answered seriously, "I think we should be considered friends."
“Alright.” Fang Nan’s expression turned cold. “Your first impression on me was not bad. At least what you said was sincere. I do need an assistant, and although I can’t trust you right now, I trust Cang Yu’s recommendation.”
I nodded, looking her in the eye with a calm and respectful gaze: "So, am I accepted?"
"For now, yes." Fang Nan's tone was indifferent: "But I must tell you, I have very high standards for the people around me. When working for me, you need to know what you can and cannot do, when to speak and when to keep your mouth shut. If you do an excellent job, I never hesitate to reward you... Actually, my requirements are not difficult to explain, they can be summed up in three words: know when to advance and when to retreat."
I nodded and thought for a moment: "I think I can do it."
"Okay." Fang Nan finally showed a faint smile. "Your first impression of me is good. You seem to be a very tactful person. Now I must explain to you that I am the person in charge of this Deep Blue Entertainment company, and also the owner. However, you are not an employee of this company. You are my personal assistant. You only need to report to me personally. Under normal circumstances, you do not need to interfere in company affairs. Your monthly salary is currently eight thousand, which is a very high salary for a newcomer. I hope you can make me feel that paying such a high salary is worthwhile."
The salary was good, and I was satisfied, so I asked again, "So, what are my job responsibilities?"
“There are no fixed job duties,” Fang Nan said quickly, her tone nonchalant. “You only have one boss, and that’s me. Your job is to follow my instructions, and when I need you, you must be there for me immediately, and do everything I assign you well.” She sighed, a hint of weariness flashing in her eyes. “I think Cang Yu probably mentioned this to you. I need someone experienced in handling social situations, because my business may involve dealing with many different kinds of clients. I hope you can be my capable assistant and help me deal with some… troubles.”
After saying that, she glanced at me and asked, "Do you have any more questions?"
"No, that's all." I shook my head. To be honest, I had no objections. The salary was generous, and from her words, I could tell that my job responsibilities were probably similar to Jin He's role as Huan Ge's sidekick.
"Okay, you should be able to drive, right?" She tossed me a car key: "There's a car in the parking lot downstairs with license plate XXXXXX. Go down and drive it to the company entrance and wait for me. I'll be down in ten minutes."
