Recruitment Successful

Ren Tianxue felt a wave of relief wash over her as soon as she got home. For some reason, she felt completely seen through in Shen Qiong's presence.

Seeing his daughter return, Ren Jingshan chuckled, "How was the interview?"

"So-so," she replied listlessly.

"Is that so? You still have to try your best. Master Shen is no ordinary person; why don't you look him up online?" Ren Jingshan said with a smile as he rummaged through the refrigerator for fruit.

"Dad, did you secretly give my information to someone else?" Ren Tianxue asked, pursing her lips.

She still couldn't believe someone could be so magical. She wondered if her father had played a trick to "trick" his daughter into going to work.

Ren Jingshan frowned slightly and gave a wry smile, "You don't even trust your own father!"

He sat down next to his daughter and chuckled, "Come, come, tell me what Master Shen asked you today. Your expression is strange; you must have encountered something."

Ren Tianxue recounted the strange events of the day to Ren Jingshan, frowning as she asked, "Don't you think it's weird?"

Upon hearing this, Ren Jingshan's eyes lit up. He secretly thought that signing his daughter up had indeed been a wise decision.

Ren Jingshan smiled, "Don't worry, Dad won't lead you astray. Following Master Shen has a great future."

"Why?" Ren Tianxue asked in surprise.

"Because no one who has consulted Master Shen has ever said his predictions were inaccurate," Ren Jingshan had gone to great lengths to investigate these matters.

Ren Tianxue exclaimed, "Huh? How is that possible?"

"It's true. Otherwise, why would your dad ask you to be Master Shen's assistant? He may not be famous yet, but his reputation is excellent. Almost everyone who has had their fortune told by him praises how skilled he is," Ren Jingshan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Ren Tianxue quickly ran back to her room, "I'm going to look him up online..."

Watching his daughter's curious expression, Ren Jingshan loudly asked, "So, are you going to work tomorrow or not?"

"I'll decide tomorrow!" Ren Tianxue replied from her room.

"This child..." Ren Jingshan shook his head with a smile.

She looked at the comments on Weibo, growing more surprised with each one, and immediately took out her phone to call Shen Qiong.

Shen Qiong, who was still cooking in the kitchen, saw that it was the girl who had interviewed today calling. His heart leaped; it seemed there was a chance.

"Hello, please speak," Shen Qiong said as he answered the phone.

"Um, hello, I'm Ren Tianxue. May I ask if I can come to work tomorrow? I mean, for the three-day trial period? Maybe I can try?" she asked cautiously, her previous aloof attitude completely gone.

Shen Qiong smiled slightly. Success!

He was in a great mood after successfully securing a beautiful woman as his assistant. He said with a smile, "Yes, when you come tomorrow, I'll tell you what the main tasks of the job are."

Finally, someone could help him organize the appointment book and guest information, which would make things much easier for him. He posted the latest update on his Weibo account.

"Assistant recruitment is now complete. Thank you all for your support!!!"

Immediately, a flood of replies appeared below: "Ah? So soon! I haven't even interviewed yet!"

"What a shame! I just urged my sister to go, but she refused."

"Is it finalized?"

"I bet it's a girl."

Hehe, I had an interview today too. Let me tell you guys secretly, if I'm not mistaken, it should be the girl I met today. High face value, great figure. Ah, I can't say more, my wife is pinching my ear.

"Is what the guy upstairs said true? Master Shen is truly blessed!"

"Let's team up to see the girl..."

Shen Qiong smiled as he read the netizens' comments but didn't reply. It also reminded him of his sister, so he took out his phone and called her.

Shen Shi was watching a Korean drama in the living room when she saw Shen Qiong calling. She picked up the phone, glanced at her mother who was still washing dishes in the kitchen, and hid in her room to answer.

Mother Shen glanced at her and gave a wry smile, "The child is growing up; she knows how to take calls in private now."

Back in her room, Shen Shi exclaimed in surprise, "Brother."

"How is it? Did you talk to Mom about your college major choice when you got back?" Shen Qiong asked with concern.

She said happily, "Yes, I did. Mom said you were being ridiculous! Should I send the money back to you? Mom will definitely be willing to pay my tuition now."

Shen Qiong chuckled, "Silly girl, your brother isn't short of this little money. I just hired an employee today to help me with the shop. Guess how much I'm paying them."

Shen Shi blinked and thought for a few seconds, "Three thousand?"

"No, go higher," Shen Qiong said, enjoying this chat with his sister.

"Then... four thousand?" Shen Shi hesitated for a moment before saying, "Anything over four thousand is too much. If the shop needs help, I can come and assist."

Shen Qiong laughed heartily, "No need, just focus on your studies."

Shen Shi asked anxiously, "Then how much is it exactly?"

"Ten thousand," Shen Qiong said the two words.

"Ah?" Shen Shi exclaimed upon hearing this! Then she quickly covered her mouth and whispered, "Brother, you're getting better and better at bragging."

Shen Qiong gave a wry smile. It was really hard for him to explain!

"I'm telling the truth," Shen Qiong said seriously.

Shen Shi rolled her eyes, "Do you think I'd believe you? I know Dad's shop! Even at its busiest, it only made that much money."

Shen Qiong explained, "I'm different from Dad. People call me Master Shen now."

"Alright, alright! I'm not listening to your bragging anymore, I'm going to write my novel." Shen Shi chuckled.

Shen Qiong asked in surprise, "You write novels?"

"Mhm, I'm trying. Otherwise, why do you think I majored in Drama, Film, and Television Literature? Do you think your sister chose it just for fun?" Shen Shi said proudly.

Shen Qiong teased, "Then that's great. In the future, I'll have another thing to brag about: my sister is a great writer, a great screenwriter."

"Stop it! I'm not yet! Don't just say that." Shen Shi said anxiously.

"Hahaha! I'm just saying, look how flustered you are. Write well! When you're done, you can send it to your brother to read. Brother will be your first reader." Shen Qiong laughed.

Shen Shi nodded, "Okay! I'll send it to you then."

After finishing the call with his sister, Shen Qiong was in a great mood. He lay on his bed and fell asleep without realizing it.

It was pitch black at night when his phone suddenly lit up with an incoming call.

Far away on the other side, Li Mengqing gritted her teeth slightly and lowered her head in disappointment, "No answer."

She glanced at the time. It was only ten o'clock. She guessed Shen Qiong wouldn't be asleep so early, so he must not want to answer her call.

She stood on the balcony, gazing at the distant night view, feeling the cool breeze...

"Perhaps, we really aren't fated!" she murmured softly.
