Chapter 72: Upon Hearing That Voice, Lin Chu Frowned

“By the way, the boss of that company is Wei Zilin. He was initially in charge of this part in Wu Feng, but later on, Wei Ziqi realized that he was overqualified to work in Wu Feng. After all, the cases that he could work on in Wu Feng were limited, pretty sure Wei Zilin thought so too. This was why he founded this company after that, besides working with Eight Dominant Families regularly, he would also take on cases from some other companies, but of course, a satisfying price would be the premise.”

Lin Chu nodded, “I know him. When I was in school, he came to give a lecture once. He was truly competent.”

At this time, the text message notification sound of the phone of Xu Moyan rang. Xu Moyan tapped the phone to open the message, then she forwarded the message to Lin Chu and said, “The interview is at 10 o ‘clock tomorrow, these are the documents needed and the company’s address. My client has a friendly relationship with the human resources manager of that company. Even though you can’t get into the company directly, it’s still viable to add an interview slot for you.”

The relationship between Lin Chu and Xu Moyan was beyond the courtesy of thanking each other. She gave a big hug to Xu Moyan straight away, “That’s good enough.”

Due to time constraint, Lin Chu hurriedly went to prepare the documents she needed for the interview.

…

Yan Beicheng went back to his old place tonight. He opened his WeChat, Lin Chu did not send him any messages, nor did he see her updates on Moments.

Yan Beicheng fondled his chin and pondered for a while, then he put on his workout clothes. Just when he was about to go to the gym while holding his phone, he saw Aunt Zhuang walking out from the washroom on the first floor with a facial mask on.

Yan Beicheng waved his hands towards Aunt Zhuang, Aunt Zhuang realized that Yan Beicheng has been acting weird lately so she was doubtful towards Yan Beicheng at this point, but she still walked toward him and asked, “Sir, what’s the matter?”

“Come over and take a few photos of me,” Yan Beicheng said and then walked to the gym room.

Aunt Zhuang followed him behind with her facial mask on. Yan Beicheng took off his top after entering the gym room, he looked in the mirror and then he asked Aunt Zhuang, “My figure’s pretty great right?”

Aunt Zhuang did not know what had gotten into Yan Beicheng, he had not been normal ever since he met Ms. Lin.

After she heard the question from Yan Beicheng, she stretched out her thumb without any hesitation, “Sir, your figure’s extremely great!”

Yan Beicheng was very satisfied, he handed his phone to Aunt Zhuang then he sat on the comprehensive training equipment, he raised his hands and pulled down the weights,” Aunt Zhuang, quick, capture my perfect shoulders and biceps. Remember to include my face in the photo.”

He heard the sound of the shutter, then Yan Beicheng stood in front of the pec fly machine, both of his arms grabbing on the machine and moving his arms apart and back, “Quickly snap a photo of my chest muscles, remember to take a photo of my face in it as well.”

After that, Aunt Zhuang only heard Yan Beicheng telling her to snap photos of his muscles non-stop, and also to include his face.

Aunt Zhuang was speechless, “…”

After Yan Beicheng posed on the treadmill for photos, then only he was willing to let Aunt Zhuang go.

Aunt Zhuang went to the washroom to take off her facial mask. Deep down, she felt that her job was getting more and more difficult.

Yan Beicheng took his phone back to his bedroom in contentment, he took a quick shower and laid down on his bed comfortably. He opened his WeChat Moments and posted a photo on it, then he started to refresh the app like a madman, waiting for Lin Chu to see it.

Instead of hearing back from Lin Chu, he heard back from Qi Chengzi and the rest of them.

Below the photo, Qi Chengzi was the first one to comment, “What crazy thing are you up to?”

Han Zuoli commented, “Yan Beicheng, you’re lustful!”

Wei Ziqian commented, “He’s in heat.”

Chu Zhaoyang only sent over an emoji, “[Contempt]”

Wei Ziqi commented, “I heard you ushered in a new romance.”

Qi Chenglin replied to Wei Ziqi, “How do you know?”

Wei Zilin, “I said it.”

Yan Beicheng looked at all those comments and was at a loss for words. He only wanted to Lin Chu to see it, not them.

Yan Beicheng quickly deleted the photo, and his phone was vibrating like crazy after that. He looked at it, and it was the ones in the ‘8×8 is 64’ group chat yelling at him.

Yan Beicheng did not bother to tap on it, he straight away looked for Zuo Qiu and asked, “Is it possible to block certain people from seeing my updates on Moments?”

Zuo Qiu responded swiftly, “Yes.”

Then he told Yan Beicheng how to do it, he also thoughtfully taught Yan Beicheng the way to let only one person see it.

Zuo Qiu asked, “Master Yan, what do you think of my reply?”

Yan Beicheng replied, “Pretty great.”

Yan Beicheng did as Zuo Qiu told him to and managed to change the settings.

Zuo Qiu said, “Master Yan, then this month’s bonus…”

Yan Beicheng was happy, “Last time I said that I would deduct half of it, but I’ll reinstate it now.”

Zuo Qiu replied, “Thank you, Master Yan!”

Yan Beicheng closed the chatbox with Zuo Qiu. He waited for half a day, but he still did not receive any messages from Lin Chu. He could not wait any longer, so he simply went ahead and sent Lin Chu a text message.

Lin Chu was sorting out her resume, she was nervous about the interview tomorrow that she attached great importance to. She sorted out her thesis in university and also some awards.

Her phone vibrated. Lin Chu gave her neck a little massage and her heartbeat was messed up for a while after seeing that it was a text from Yan Beicheng.

Besides looking for jobs on the internet at home the whole day, she could not help but find her thoughts drifting off to Yan Beicheng during the rest of her time. Yan Beicheng did not contact her during the day. Although Lin Chu told herself that this was normal, she still felt a little unusual about it. She was always curious about him and wondering what he was up to.

They just talked on the phone last night. He even pestered her to add her as a contact on WeChat, but she did not hear from him at all today.

She was too embarrassed to take the initiative to talk to him first for the whole day. She was relieved when she saw that he sent her a text message, she even looked forward to the content of the message.

Lin Chu took a deep breath, then she unlocked her phone to open the message. All she received was a very short message from Yan Beicheng asking her, “Why weren’t you on WeChat?”

You are reading story The President is Being Shameless Again at novel35.com

She could not recall since when she would start blushing and her heartbeat would increase every time she saw his name. Even though it was just a short and simple text message, the corners of her lips would quirk up unconsciously.

Her face was burning and the back of her neck was starting to feel numb. She replied with a flushed face, “I have an interview tomorrow and I am preparing the interview documents now.”

Not long after she sent the message, she received a phone call from Yan Beicheng.

Lin Chu did not know what they were, were they dating?

It felt pretty casual and natural.

However, it was only a one-sided notice from Yan Beicheng that she was his girlfriend, and it happened just yesterday. Were they progressing too quickly?

Both of them did not sit down and talk about it seriously, Yan Beicheng was just going after her persistently. She did not even have the time to think about it properly, and she has now unwittingly come to an awkward situation.

Lin Chu picked up the phone, and suddenly she could not speak naturally like before. She was a little coy, “Hey.”

From the phone, she heard the soft and mellow laughter of Yan Beicheng. The phone was closely attached to her ear, and his pleasant laughter seemed to be attached to her ear as well, leaping into her ears and relieving the tickling sensation that she was feeling inside.

“Why are you only preparing your interview documents this late?” Yan Beicheng asked with a smile in his clear voice.

“It was introduced by Moyan’s client. I was only informed of the results today, and I have to attend the interview tomorrow.” Lin Chu stretched her back, stood up and exercised while talking on the phone. “That company is very difficult to get into. I heard that many applicants competing for that one position. I’m a little nervous, and afraid that I’m not fully prepared.”

“Which company?” Yan Beicheng asked.

“Lin Yi,” Lin Chu replied.

She talked to Yan Beicheng for a while more and then hung up on the phone because Yan Beicheng did not want to bother her preparation.

Lin Chu thought of why Yan Beicheng called her. She opened her WeChat but did not see any messages from Yan Beicheng. She clicked on Moments to just check out the new updates, but once she refreshed the page her screen was immediately filled with Yan Beicheng’s muscle photos.

Lin Chu was speechless, “…”

So Yan Beicheng wanted her to look at his muscles?

She did not have any mutual friends with Yan Beicheng so she could not see that there were other comments below the photo. Lin Chu did not know what to say, if she did not let Yan Beicheng know that she had seen it, Yan Beicheng would not drop the matter easily.

Hence, she tapped on the like button as an acknowledgment.

…

Yan Beicheng was lying on his bed. Once he heard the notification sound of a new WeChat message, he immediately grabbed his phone and saw that Lin Chu liked his photo. He felt ripples of joy spreading all over his body as he rolled on the bed.

…

The next day, Xu Moyan already went to work. Lin Chu woke up a little late and cooked some instant noodles for herself.

She went to bed late last night. In addition to preparing the interview documents, she simulated some questions that the interviewer might ask. She also went on the internet to search for some cases that Wei Zilin worked on.

There were many cases so Lin Chu started from the extreme ones, the popular ones and also the unknown ones. If the interviewers asked about the cases that the company handled, she might be able to take a different approach.

The company of Wei Zilin is Lin Yi, it was one of the upper-class office buildings in the CBD area. It was also surprisingly near to Yan Hui.

Due to the importance of the interview to her, and also her fear towards heavy traffic jam, or some other accidents, Lin chu set out ahead of schedule and arrived at Lin Yi half an hour earlier.

The sign in front of the office showed which floors the companies were on, with Lin Yi occupying the fifteenth to the eighteenth floor.

Lin Chu arrived on the fifteenth floor and asked the reception on the interview’s location. Then, she went to a small conference room on the fifteenth floor and waited outside.

There was a row of people standing outside the meeting room, it seemed all of them were there for the interview. Lin Chu was not surprised that there would be some people who would arrive this early, but she was shocked by the number of people. It was more than she had expected.

The applicants were lining up in an orderly manner, no one was making any loud noises. There were a few of them who just got acquainted with each other engaging in conversations, but they were all very polite. No one wanted to leave a bad impression on the company during the interview.

Lin Chu stood at the end of the queue. She took a photo of the long line, but she only took a photo of their legs. Out of respect for their privacy, she did not capture their faces. Then, she sent out a message on Moments, “Wish me success!”

After she sent it out, she heard someone calling her name in a surprised tone, “Lin Chu?”

Upon hearing this voice, Lin Chu frowned and she was extremely surprised to meet Zhu Jingjing here.

Zhu Jingjing glanced at the queue and stared at Lin chu with an unfriendly face. “You’re here for an interview?”

Lin Chu saw the simple and professional outfit that Zhu Jingjing was wearing, it was the same manner of dressing when she went to Jing Wen for an interview. It was because of her innocent look that You Weiwen took a fancy to that caused her to be hired on the spot.

It seemed like Zhu Jingjing had no better ideas, she still wanted to do it the unconventional and perverse way.

Lin Chu did not hide his sarcasm, she wanted to let Zhu Jingjing know that she saw through her intentions. She curled her lip coldly and said, “What a coincidence, it seems like you’re also to attend the interview.

When she resigned from Jing Wen, she stopped paying attention to You Weiwen and Zhu Jingjing. For her, it was just like turning over a page and advancing to another stage of her life. She did not care whether the outturn of the two of them was good or bad.

Due to the interference of Yan BeiCheng, she guessed that Zhu Jingjing did not end up well. As for You Weiwen, he was the brother-in-law of the boss of Jing Wen, so his consequences would not be terrible. Of course, it might have been worse if his wife had known about it.

Seeing that Zhu Jingjing came for the interview today, it seemed like she was fired by Jing Wen. Maybe they let her resign on her own just to preserve some of her dignity.

Since she resigned, she had not contacted her colleagues in Jing Wen, so it was unclear to her regarding what happened to Zhu Jingjing and You Weiwen.

Lin Yi was quite famous in the industry. Wei Zilin was known to have high standards and the Wei family, which was one of the eight dominant families, was behind the company. Its status was not something that ordinary public relations companies could be compared to, so Lin Chu did not think the tricks that Zhu Jingjing played in Jing Wen could be used here.

Lin Chu did not want to bother with Zhu Jingjing. Suddenly, Zhu Jingjing sneered and suddenly said out loud, “Lin Chu, I see that you’ve got quite a lot of nerve. You hooked up with the company’s client back then, causing his wife to go all the way to the company. You knew that you could no longer stay, so you quickly resigned before the company fires you. If I were you, I’d go somewhere else and work for a mediocre company if I wanted to stay in this industry. You still dare to continue working in the area of City B and come to a reputable company like Lin Yi. Should I say that you’re bold or shameless? There are only a few public relations companies in City B. Who do you think you can fool with your previous misconduct?”

As soon as Zhu Jingjing said that, all the people waiting outside for the interview looked over. The ones who came for the interview, most of them were not fresh graduates, they already had a certain amount of working experience and already made some achievements in this field. There were also one or two of them who were fearless and came here without any working experience right after they graduated. Putting the probability of them getting the job aside, they were here to gain some experience.

Therefore, they could easily learn about Jing Wen if they inquired a little.

Lin Chu was stunned, she did not expect Zhu Jingjing to be lying without shame, giving a false account of the facts. She could not understand, it seemed that she had never wronged Zhu Jingjing. However, Zhu Jingjing was constantly opposing her, doing things that would harm others without benefiting herself.

Lin Chu did not panic although the people around were casting disdainful stares towards her. Even the employee of Lin Yi who was holding the documents of the interviewees and was about to enter the meeting room looked at her contemptuously. It seemed like she thought that there was something wrong with Lin Chu’s character.

Even so, Lin chu still said calmly, “Zhu Jingjing, there’s something I’ve not thought about before. After what you’ve said just now, I’d really like to ask you. I’ve never offended you, you brought it upon yourself for having to leave Jing Wen. I guess that you did not wait for Jing Wen to dismiss you but resigned on your own for your reputation. I’m just curious, why are you targeting me and setting me up?”

“Back then in Jing Wen, we were competing for the position of a full-time employee. I could understand that you were willing to do whatever it takes for that position, you think that it was worth more than your body. That was why you slept with the clients and You Weiwen. You even set me up so that you could get rid of me as a competitor.”

“As for a rotten company like Jing Wen, I did not intend to stay. We had nothing to do with each other anymore, but now you’re framing me again once we’ve met. Is it because you think that as long as I get kicked out, you’ll get the job at Lin Yi? What do you take other competitors for? Or do you want to continue to frame everyone in the same way?”

Zhu Jingjing’s facial expression changed, she pointed to Lin Chu and said furiously, “Lin Chu, stop talking nonsense!”

“Was it me who seduced the client or was it you? Was it me who was framing you or was it you who was framing me? Everything relies on evidence. I can prove it with evidence, can you? Or your evidence is just based on your own words? I believe most of you here are not new in the industry, you’ve got your network and contacts. You can easily inquire if there was one of the employees named Zhu Jingjing who recently left Jing Wen. She left because she was found seducing the client and sleeping with her boss. As you said, it’s easy to find out who’s right and who’s wrong in this small public relations circle in City B.”
