"Hmm, not bad. Go home and wait for news. We'll get back to you within the day."

After Ye Lin submitted her prepared resume and finished her self-introduction, the interviewer didn't ask any questions, just squinted at her with a lecherous gaze. Before this, he had conferred in low voices with a middle-aged man sitting next to him. That man's eyes also roved suggestively over Ye Lin's attractive figure.

Lin Feng recognized this middle-aged man as Wu Hao, the general manager of the Emperor Dragon Group.

Lin Feng sneered at Wu Hao. Hmph, personally interviewing for an assistant? He's definitely just here to check out her looks. Dammit, what a lecher. He's probably looking for a mistress! And Ye Lin, that woman... she's a classic tigress. I wonder, after she joins the Emperor Dragon Group, will she be the one to make Wu Hao submit, or will he manage to tame this tigress into a docile kitten?

"Hey, what position are you interviewing for?"

As Lin Feng was lost in these thoughts, a loud shout made his heart jump. He turned his head to see a man with a rugged, fleshy face staring at him.

"Young man, what position are you interviewing for?" the rugged-faced middle-aged man asked again.

"Security guard," Lin Feng replied.

"Security guard? Well, fill out this form and then go over there to queue for the interview," the middle-aged man said disdainfully, handing Lin Feng a form.

Lin Feng quickly played the part, acting obsequious and repeatedly nodding. "Okay, okay, thank you, thank you."

Unlike Ye Lin applying for assistant to the general manager, applying for a security guard position seemed much simpler.

After Lin Feng finished filling out the forms, he and the other security guard applicants were led by several staff members to jog a few laps around a park outside the job market.

Even though Lin Feng held back considerably, when he finished the run, he was still several hundred meters ahead of the second-place finisher, easily taking first.

"Alright, you six, starting tomorrow, you will be Emperor Dragon Group's security guards. Come with me to get your uniforms." After a simple physical fitness test, Lin Feng was hired into the security department of the Emperor Dragon Group.

Leaving the job market, Lin Feng decided to find a place to live. He couldn't train with Ye Lin now, so he had to make all decisions himself. Therefore, after securing his job as a security guard at the Emperor Dragon Group, his priority was to settle down.

Sigh, my budget is tight. I can't live in an upscale place right now. I'll have to make do with some remote place. I wonder how long this mission will take.

Pursing his lips, Lin Feng caught a bus to the suburbs. There, he saw a rental advertisement and made a call.

The landlord, a woman in her forties named Landlady Wang, showed Lin Feng around. After seeing the living conditions, he found them acceptable and decided to sign the lease.

"How long will you be renting?" Landlady Wang asked.

"At least... um, one month," Lin Feng replied after a moment's thought. In fact, he believed one month should be enough, and besides, it would be just in time for university to start.

"If you're only renting for a month, that will be 2,000."

"That expensive?"

"Look at this house – three bedrooms, a living room, two bathrooms, and a kitchen. It's a nicely decorated house; 2,000 is quite cheap."

"Alright, I'll take it."

Lin Feng took another look at the house and figured it was indeed decent. Since he was only going to rent for one month, he decided not to haggle and immediately signed the contract.

"You can stay in this room. It's the largest, apart from the master bedroom." After signing the agreement, Landlady Wang led Lin Feng into a bedroom. "As you can see, the room gets good light, and it also has good soundproofing, so you won't be disturbed by other tenants."

"Shared?" Lin Feng was taken aback. "Wait a minute, Landlady, you mean this house is shared? I'm not renting the whole place myself?"

Seeing Lin Feng's stunned expression, Landlady Wang looked at him in surprise. "Did you think you'd be renting this entire large apartment for just 2,000 a month? You clearly have no idea about the current rental prices in Jiangzhou!"

Landlady Wang quickly pocketed the signed lease and the rent Lin Feng handed over. She continued, "This is a three-bedroom apartment. Besides your room, the master bedroom is already rented to a flight attendant who seldom stays here. There's still one other room vacant. Young man, do you have a problem with that?"

Lin Feng felt like crying but held back his tears, a sense of having been duped washing over him.

I thought I'd rented the entire place for 2,000—fucking hell, it turned out to be 2,000 for just one room!

"Let me make it clear. Even if you have a problem, there's no going back now. The contract has been signed, and you've given me the money. Don't even think about getting it refunded. I live far away, and it's not easy for me to come all the way here. This house was bought by my husband a while ago," Landlady Wang rattled on.

"Besides, the going rate for renting around the Third Ring Road is about 1,700 to 1,800 a month. So, 2,000 for a one-month lease is quite reasonable for you."

Pausing for a moment, Landlady Wang leaned close to Lin Feng with a mysterious smile. "Plus, you're sharing with a flight attendant! She's quite pretty and, I think, single. Young man, if you're single too, this is a golden opportunity—you know, being so close gives you an advantage! Renting a room here, you could even sort out the biggest decision of your life: marrying a charming flight attendant. Wouldn't that be a steal?"

Looking at Landlady Wang's expression, Lin Feng didn't know what to say and quickly nodded. "Okay, okay, I've already signed the contract, so I can't go back on it now." Experience really does come with age. You sure are ruthless! he thought.

"By the way, this flight attendant... she won't mind sharing with a man, will she?" Lin Feng asked, the thought suddenly occurring to him.

"No, she won't. I've talked to Little Shu about it before. She said it's okay. Anyway, she barely spends a few days here each month, so don't worry about it. And Little Shu is a nice girl, and quite beautiful too. Young man, if you're thinking about pursuing her, be open and honest about it. If you try any shady tricks, I'll call the police on you!" Landlady Wang warned him.

"Landlady, do I look like a bad guy to you?" Lin Feng said, exasperated.

"You can't tell by looking... You never know what's in people's hearts."

"Um..."

"Alright then. Any other questions? If not, I'd better get going. Oh, right, the flight attendant's name is Shu Xin. Good luck, young man!"

Watching Landlady Wang leave with a gloating smirk, Lin Feng couldn't muster a smile.

At least I'm only here for a month. No matter how much I've been swindled, it can't be that bad. I'll just endure it.

Gritting his teeth, Lin Feng went into his room and started to unpack.

Heh, sharing an apartment with a flight attendant... The thought itself is quite tantalizing.

After finishing unpacking, Lin Feng sat in his room resting. He thought about the various types of flight attendants he had seen on planes—tall, beautiful, and gentle—and couldn't help but feel a stir of excitement.

I wonder what kind of beauty this Shu Xin is?
