The morning breeze rustled Lin Hai's clothes as he opened his eyes. Just when things were getting intense last night, it suddenly started raining, completely ruining his chance to enjoy the thrill of the pool.
At the moment, he was suppressing the signs of a breakthrough.
After absorbing the Gang Qi from the Sky Demon Phoenix, Lin Hai had the qualifications to step into the First Rank Supreme Expert realm.
He always felt like something was missing, but he wasn't in a rush for momentary pleasures. To go a long way, one must first solidify their foundation.
Upon arriving at the company, Lin Hai had just entered his office when he received a call from Ouyang Xiaoya.
"Madam Boss, what are your instructions?"
"Hmph, tell me, what were you doing last night?"
"Ah? I had too much to drink with Fan Jian last night and slept at his place." Lin Hai quickly explained.
"Hmph, Beast Lin, don't think that I wouldn't know just because you're lying through your teeth."
"CEO, when have I ever lied to you? I really was sleeping at Fan Jian's house last night."
While enabling the speakerphone, Lin Hai sent a WeChat message to Fan Jian, urging him not to blow his cover.
"Is that so? You better wait for me obediently at home tonight. I have my ways to check if you went for an erotic massage last night."
Ouyang Xiaoya spoke with a sly tone.
"Cough, cough." Lin Hai coughed awkwardly, wondering just what kind of checking method his wife was talking about.
To confirm whether a man went for an erotic massage at night, someone like Tao Xia or Female Battle Lord could definitely do it, but Mrs. Ouyang was just a newbie. What method could she possibly have?
"Okay, I have some good news for you."
"Oh? What's the good news? Could it be that you finally plan to take things further with me, uh no, level up?"
Lin Hai couldn't help but think of Ouyang Xiaoya's delicate skin, her slender graceful body, those fiery red lips, her enticingly long jade-like fingers, and those fair, white legs. If he could spend a night with her, he'd be completely enraptured.
"Keep dreaming. Unless we get married, I absolutely won't let that kind of relationship happen with you. You can dream on."
Ouyang Xiaoya's words instantly shattered Lin Hai's amorous fantasies.
"The finance department is expecting a new person today; Director Wang Muxin is on leave, so you'll handle the interview."
"Ah? Interview a new person? CEO, I don't know how to conduct interviews." Lin Hai was truly troubled. It would be no problem for him if he were to pick out a few killers, but isn't selecting people something that scholars excel at?
"Hmph, if you don't know, you can learn. Do you really want to spend the rest of your life mooching under my pomegranate skirt?"
"Er, CEO, teach me what I need to ask about."
"Educational background, expertise, hobbies, and so on."
"Oh, got it." Lin Hai nodded.
"The interview is just a formality. The woman who's coming today is Murong Xue's sister; it's already been internally decided, you know."
"Is this considered nepotism?"
"Nepotism my foot. Why do I always feel like you have ulterior motives whenever we talk?"
On the other end of the phone, Ouyang Xiaoya was frustrated, wondering how to redeem Beast Lin!
"CEO, I'm really Little Purity." Lin Hai's innocent voice echoed.
"Alright, just do the interview, treat it as your first practice."
Ouyang Xiaoya hung up the phone, rubbing her temples and sighing to herself. Lin Hai was truly a man both lovable and vexing; sometimes he could be so heartwarmingly sweet, yet other times she just wanted to skin him alive and give him a good whipping.
"Ah, how did I even fall for this kind of man!"
...
In the office, Lin Hai sat up straight with a serious expression, preparing to interview the newcomer.
Knock, knock, knock—
Knocking sound.
"Come in."
The door opened, and a beautiful figure appeared.
"Are you Director Lin? I'm here for the interview, my name is... Eh? Why is it you?"
The figure halted mid-sentence, staring in astonishment at the stern-faced Lin Hai.
Lin Hai wanted to keep up his serious facade, but his eyes widened in shock upon seeing the visitor.
"You're Electric Stick Guy!"
"You're Mushroom Plucking Girl!"
Both blurted out simultaneously, and a blush crept over the figure's cheeks.
Lin Hai awkwardly closed his mouth.
Back when Ouyang Xiaoya's father, Ouyang Zhentian, was coming to Huadu, Lin Hai went to the airport to pick him up and was mistaken for a criminal with a deadly weapon.
And this figure, none other than the brave airport girl who had tried to seize the "deadly weapon" by forcefully grabbing his trousers.
Seeing the familiar face, Lin Hai suddenly realized he still vividly remembered the feel of her hands trying to pull out his "weapon". It felt all too familiar...
"I remember, your name is Murong Yu, right?"
As soon as Lin Hai spoke, he slapped his forehead, realizing Murong Yu must be some new guaranteed hire, probably related to Murong Xue.
At this moment, Murong Yu looked embarrassingly shy. She had tried to forget that incident after many restless nights, but now encountering Lin Hai stirred those confused, intense feelings once more.
"Electric Stick... Uh, I didn't expect you to be Director Lin," Murong Yu said timidly, her cheeks almost dripping.
"Cough, cough, I didn't expect you to be the interviewee either."
"Director Lin, I was wrong that day, I didn't hurt you, did I?" Murong Yu was incredibly troubled.
Even with Beast Lin's thick-skinned face, he felt a bit embarrassed now, saying awkwardly, "No worries, I'm physically fit, just felt a bit like separation pain on that first day."
Murong Yu's face turned even redder upon hearing this, recalling how forceful she had been last time. She carried this guilt for a while, worrying she might have caused Lin Hai some lifelong detriment, which could ruin a man's happiness.
The word happiness again made Murong Yu feel inexplicably shy.
"Cough, cough, Murong, since we are already acquainted, let's be straightforward," Lin Hai hastened to break the awkward atmosphere.
Murong Xue nodded obediently.
Since it was an interview, he ought to ask some questions, but what should he ask?
"Remember, the CEO just said, ask about special skills? Characteristics? Hobbies? And... experiences? Let's start with experiences."
"Uh, tell me about your first unforgettable experience," said Lin Hai.
Murong Yu blushed to the extreme, as if harboring a wildly passionate animal inside her.
"Director Lin, I, I'm still a vir..."
"Pff"
Lin Hai, who had just taken a sip of tea, almost sprayed it out.
He meant the first unforgettable experience, not *that* first time.
No wonder she dared to grab mushrooms barehanded—definitely a forward thinker!
"I meant your first unforgettable experience in life, like the first time cooking, the first time you topped a test, etc.," Lin Hai quickly clarified.
"Oh, then let me think," murmured Murong Yu, feeling restless.
"Well, I'll just talk about the first time I cooked chicken."
"Gosh!" Lin Hai almost swallowed his tea cup.
What an explosive topic!
