She didn’t refute it.

Si Nian asked, “Did you two work at the same company before?”

Wang Qiaomei nodded. “Yes, but our factory hasn’t been doing well. They’ve been laying people off for the past two years, so we had to find a backup plan.”

Si Nian nodded and didn’t say anything else.

Everyone fell into silence once again.

Fortunately, steady footsteps soon echoed from outside.

Everyone hurriedly stood up.

The man who walked in was very tall; he even had to tilt his head slightly to get through the door. The moment his towering figure entered, the room suddenly felt cramped and imposing.

Instantly, the four people who had been noisy just moments ago all held their breath.

Zhou Yueshen’s gaze swept lightly over the group before landing in the back.

Si Nian craned her neck to look out.

These people weren’t tall. Even the two men were only about 1.7 meters.

Zhou Yueshen stood at the very front. His tall, slender figure stood against the light, bringing a sense of oppression.

He exuded an intimidating presence.

However, this feeling disappeared in a flash.

The expressions of the applicants grew tense.

It seemed none of them expected the boss of the breeding farm to be such a tall, formidable man.

In their minds, bosses were usually bald, with big ears and potbellies.

Rarely were they like this.

Li Yanhong was bold. She was the first to recover and spoke up, “Hello, President Zhou. I’m here to interview for the salesperson position.”

Zhou Yueshen lifted his eyes.

He gave her a cursory glance.

Giving a slight nod, he said, “Please, take a seat.”

Li Yanhong’s tense body immediately relaxed. Not daring to speak any nonsense, she nodded quickly and stepped aside. In such a suffocating atmosphere, Si Nian couldn’t help but let out a small cough.

Good heavens, this interview scene brought her right back to when she graduated from college and went to company interviews. She completely empathized with them.

She sat back down. Li Yanhong walked over, sat beside her, and shot her a glance. Thinking Si Nian was too scared to speak, Li Yanhong let out a cold snort.

She muttered in a low voice, “If you don’t even have the courage to speak, why did you even come to an interview… Go back and practice more.”

With one sentence, she secretly mocked all the other interviewees.

Si Nian wasn’t angry; instead, she smiled. Ignoring the woman, she looked at Zhou Yueshen, who was walking toward her, and said, “Thanks for your concern.”

Li ​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​​‌​​‌‌​​​‌​​‌‌​‌​​​​‌‌​​​‌​‌‌​​​‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​‌​​​​‌‌​‌​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌‌​​‌​‌‌​​​‌‌​​‌‌​​​​​‌‌​​​‌‌​‌‌​​‌‌​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌‌​​​​​‌‌‌​​‌​​‌‌​​‌‌​‌‌​​​‌​‍Yanhong rolled her eyes.

Seeing Zhou Yueshen approaching, she immediately corrected her posture and sat up straight.

Then she heard him take two steps forward and ask in a deep voice, “Why are you here?”

“Hello, I heard you are hiring… ah?” Before Li Yanhong could finish her sentence, she realized something was wrong.

She looked up at Zhou Yueshen with a bewildered expression.

Only then did she realize he wasn’t looking at her, but at the young woman beside her.

Li Yanhong was stunned.

Si Nian gave her an amused look.

Looking at Zhou Yueshen, his expression remained unchanged, but there was sweat on his forehead.

Si Nian said, “It’s been raining every day lately. I saw you hadn’t come home and got worried, so I came to check on you.”

Zhou Yueshen frowned, looked at her for a few seconds, and said with a hint of apology in his voice, “Sorry, I’ve been a bit busy these past few days.”

“Sit down for a while.”

Si Nian murmured an agreement.

She held her cup and took another sip.

Zhou Yueshen’s gaze paused on the cup for two seconds before sweeping over the other people.

Li Yanhong’s mouth hung open for a long time before she stammered, “You… you’re not here for the interview.”

Si Nian asked in return, “When did I ever say I was here for the interview?”

The others also looked extremely surprised.

They hadn’t expected that she wasn’t an applicant.

Li Yanhong’s face turned pale. “Could it be that you are President Zhou’s daugh…”

Zhou Yueshen shot a glance at her.

Li Yanhong: “…ter?”

Zhou Yueshen’s face darkened.

Si Nian burst into laughter, almost choking on her water.

Zhou Yueshen gave her a mild look and patted her back with his large hand.

He was afraid she would choke.

Li Yanhong’s face was extremely ugly. Just moments ago, she had treated Si Nian as a competitor, but she never imagined that not only was Si Nian not an applicant, she also had a close relationship with the boss.

Didn’t that mean she had just dug her own grave?

Li Yanhong looked green around the gills.

The look Zhou Yueshen gave her wasn’t very friendly either.

His tone was cold and emphatic: “She is my wife.”

Li Yanhong: “…”

The hostility meter was instantly maxed out—

“Alright, I won’t disturb you guys anymore.”

Seeing Li Yanhong’s colorful expressions, Si Nian found it amusing. She put down her cup and patted the man’s hand, telling him to get back to work.

Only then did Zhou Yueshen straighten up and withdraw his gaze.

He didn’t bother holding it against Li Yanhong.

He picked up the resumes from the side and looked through them.

After casually scanning them for a moment, he asked the group to introduce themselves.

Li Yanhong and Wang Qiaomei were from the same company, but due to a round of layoffs, Li Yanhong had been let go.

Wang Qiaomei was still employed, but her salary wasn’t high.

Hearing that she was the wife of his subordinate Yu Dong, Zhou Yueshen glanced at her and gave a slight nod.

Wang Qiaomei breathed a small sigh of relief.

Zhou Yueshen asked Li Yanhong, “What was the reason for your layoff?”

Li Yanhong hesitated for a moment and said awkwardly, “I offended a few clients…”

Si Nian couldn’t help but smile again.

Zhou Yueshen glanced at her, then lowered his eyes, picked up the water cup next to her, and took a sip.

It was filled with floral tea, very fragrant.

Aside from that, there was a faint, familiar delicate scent.

He took another sip, his voice deep. “And you two?”

The two men’s pasts were much more impressive. They had worked at a major company for half a year, won outstanding employee awards at other companies, and were college graduates.

Speaking of their experiences and educational backgrounds, both were very proud, holding their heads high with their chests puffed out.

In this day and age, college graduates were highly sought after.

If there were no major issues, a company would definitely be reluctant to let them go.

Zhou Yueshen pierced right through their facade with one sentence: “Half a year is the internship period. You didn’t pass?”

The two of them froze instantly.

Their expressions then became subtle.

Zhou Yueshen set their resumes down directly and said in a low tone, “You two can leave.”

The two men’s faces instantly turned ugly, and they asked in shock, “Why? What’s wrong with us? If you’re dissatisfied with something, just say it directly. This is baffling, and we don’t accept it!”

“Yeah, you have to give us a reason, right?”

Zhou Yueshen put down the cup, leaned against the table, and said with an indifferent expression, “If you couldn’t meet the company’s standards after a six-month internship, I don’t think I have that much time to train you.”

The faces of the two men flushed a deep red.

Zhou Yueshen ignored them after that.

The two men left, looking utterly humiliated.

The remaining Li Yanhong and Wang Qiaomei tensed up, their hearts pounding wildly.

Zhou Yueshen looked at Li Yanhong. “You easily offend clients?”

Li Yanhong’s heart sank halfway.

Seeing her expression, Zhou Yueshen knew he was pretty much spot on.

Wang Qiaomei interjected, “President Zhou, it wasn’t like that. The previous situation was a bit complicated.”

Zhou Yueshen’s expression didn’t change, nor did he respond.

Si Nian looked at him as well.

At that moment, Zhou Yueshen suddenly turned his head and glanced at her.

He was actually asking for her opinion.

Si Nian was taken aback for a second. Her gaze swept over the two nervous women.

She raised an eyebrow at Zhou Yueshen. “You’re really letting me choose?”

Zhou Yueshen gave a slight nod. “Mhm.”

Si Nian saw how casual he was being.

She sighed.

Then, she shifted her gaze back to the two women, let it hover for a moment, and stopped.

She pointed at one of them and said, “If it were up to me, I’d pick her.”

Zhou Yueshen: So mad, so mad, do I really look that old?
