"You won't do!"
The woman, who I suspected was Yun Jin, spoke and instantly shot down all the carefully prepared speeches I had rehearsed.
Wasn't the normal interview process supposed to be question and answer?
She had just declared me unfit, a death sentence before I even got a chance to speak.
Seeing my lips part, about to say something, the suspected Yun Jin spoke first, "I don't like wasting other people's time, but I also don't like others wasting mine."
"Let me be clear! It's not your appearance that's lacking, but your inner self!"
Her words left me utterly bewildered.
Could this woman truly be as mystical as the bodyguard had claimed earlier? Able to see through people's hearts with a single glance?
*Click.*
Seeing me frozen in place, the woman lit a "Jinling Twelve Beauties" cigarette and said coldly, "There's no light in your eyes! No desire in your heart!"
"Even if I passed you, when a guest requested you, you'd likely turn them away in the end!"
"If there were more people like you, I wouldn't be able to keep this club running."
"So, when you go down, remember to collect a hundred yuan in travel expenses from the finance department, and then... go back the way you came!"
This was the first time I met her, and the way this suspected Yun Jin woman reprimanded me instantly reminded me of when I first met Uncle Tuo.
After the gambling match that preceded my formal entry into the Thousand Sects, when Uncle Tuo and I had a falling out over money, he had lectured me in the same simple, direct manner.
They say proximity to vermilion makes one red, and proximity to ink makes one black.
Could it be that this woman was indeed Uncle Tuo's old flame, Yun Jin?
Otherwise, why would her way of speaking and tone be exactly the same?
But if it were true, then the age gap between them... was truly too vast.
One forty-five, the other twenty-five!
A typical rich man's setup, an old bull chasing a young grass.
For this kind of pairing, it wasn't about love, but about cold, hard cash!
After all, what kind of simple person could a woman be who started mixing in underworld circles at fifteen or sixteen?
Once she learned of Uncle Tuo's death, I didn't even need to think to guess the outcome.
Of course, for these deductions to hold true, they had to be based on the premise that my previous analyses and guesses were absolutely correct...
As I was lost in thought, "Yun Jin" suddenly spoke again, "Why are you still standing there like an idiot? Hurry to the finance department to settle up and leave!"
Hearing this, I snapped back to reality.
After a moment of deliberation, I deliberately put on a cautious expression and asked, "Boss, could you give me another chance?"
"Heh. A chance? How do you want me to give you a chance?" "Yun Jin" sneered, exhaling a faint wisp of smoke.
"Uh..." I hesitated for a moment, then gave an awkward laugh, "I can showcase my talents and... some other specialties on the spot!"
Don't misunderstand! I wasn't referring to *that* kind of specialty, but rather my right hand, which moved with the speed of a gale.
These were things Uncle Tuo had told me.
He said that despite the glamorous appearances of the public relations managers in these flashy establishments, most of them had already been "q-ruled" by the bosses before they even came for the interview.
Male bosses q-ruling female public relations.
Female bosses q-ruling male public relations.
Honestly, I didn't believe anyone could see through a stranger at first glance.
Therefore, regarding "Yun Jin's" earlier words, I almost subconsciously concluded that she wanted to play the "q-rule" game.
Upon hearing my words, a slight change finally appeared on "Yun Jin's" icy face, and she asked sternly, "What rock did you crawl out from under?"
"What era are we in, that interviews still require talents to muddle through? And 'certain specialties'?"
"If a person isn't suitable, they aren't suitable! It has nothing to do with any parts on their body!"
"Hurry up! Stop wasting my precious time, and get out of here!"
Seeing her directly issue a dismissal order, I hastily said, "Boss, I was wrong!"
Before "Yun Jin" could speak again, I quickly pulled out an old excuse, "Boss, can you give me one more chance? I'm really desperate! My father is drowning in gambling debt, and the interest is compounding so fast we can't possibly pay it off."
"And after the summer holidays, my younger brother will be going to college, and we still haven't secured his tuition fees."
Hearing this, "Yun Jin" was first taken aback, then frowned and asked, "Are you sure you're applying for the male public relations position?"
"Absolutely, positively, and undeniably!" I replied quickly, nodding.
Upon hearing my answer, "Yun Jin" put down the cigarette she was holding.
She took a tissue from her desk to wipe her mouth, then picked up her cup to rinse her mouth, before standing up and spitting the mouthwash into the trash can.
Just as I was feeling a bit confused by "Yun Jin's" actions, she suddenly walked over to me.
Tilting her head slightly, "Yun Jin" stared directly at me with her chilling eyes and commanded, "I order you to hug me now, immediately, at once!"
"Ah!?"
"Yun Jin's" words left me frozen on the spot, completely unable to react.
While "Yun Jin" wasn't as stunning as Yu Shuang, nor as pure as Leng Meng, she possessed an innate aura of aloofness.
I knew very well that this aloofness wasn't an act, but something she was born with.
And the coldness in her eyes wasn't just directed at me, but at all men.
Why would "Yun Jin," who clearly felt indifferent, even somewhat disgusted by men, suddenly ask me to hug her? Was she testing me?
"Are you a natural-born block of wood? You stand there unmoving at the slightest provocation! Hurry up and hug me!"
While I was still in a daze, "Yun Jin" had already released her hands, waiting for me to embrace her.
At such close proximity, as I met "Yun Jin's" gaze, I clearly saw a glint of slyness hidden deep within her chilling eyes.
A test!
As expected, "Yun Jin" was testing me!
Once I confirmed her true intention, I stopped hesitating and placed my hands on her waist.
Honestly, this was the first time in my life I had ever held a woman so closely.
However, this woman was very likely Uncle Tuo's former flame.
Suddenly, a very strange feeling welled up within me.
If I had to describe this strange feeling with a single word... it was absurd!
Extremely, incredibly, and remarkably absurd!!!
I thought "Yun Jin's" tentative, absurd move would end there, but unexpectedly...
"Kiss me!"
As she said this, "Yun Jin" unreservedly wrapped her arms around my neck.
