" Tongtong, is cheating really not allowed? You promised to use cheat codes, but they only work sometimes and not other times. They only work when it benefits Huo Cixiao!" Luo Beishi's mind was bombarding the system with angry shouts. " Tongtong, you're bullying me! Bullying me! Bullying me! Bullying me! Bullying me!"
System: "The system you are calling has crashed... beep beep beep,"
Helpless, Luo Beishi was led by Huo Cixiao to the wall opposite the elevator entrance, where a white tiger logo, exclusively belonging to the Huo Corporation, was printed.
Luo Beishi knew he was going to have his picture taken, but because the photographer was so handsome, Luo Beishi could only manage a forced smile and stare blankly at the camera.
Huo Cixiao used his own phone. "OK, first day's check-in successful! Keep it up, wife!"
Luo Beishi amused and exasperated; her husband was coaxing her like a child.
With that identity, that status, and that appearance, he didn't seem like someone who would know how to coax people. Luo Beishi walked over and reached out to pat his head, and Huo Cixiao was willing to bend down slightly for him, "Giving my husband a head pat as a reward."
With a "ding," the elevator doors opened, and Special Assistant Wen, stepping out and seeing this scene, smiled, thinking to himself, "They've killed the dog! They've killed the dog! The chairman's office is no longer the last sanctuary in the company!"
The Special Assistant Wen, oblivious to their manners, pretended not to see them and greeted them with utter tactlessness, "Good morning, President; good morning, Madam. You don't look too well today. Would you like someone to make you a cup of coffee?"
Luo Beishi nodded. "Thank you so much, Special Assistant Wen. Please get my husband a drink too."
Huo Cixiao's lips slowly drooped after hearing the first half of the sentence, but then slowly curved upwards again when he heard the second half. "My wife is so good."
Special Assistant Wen: "???" Look, look! Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut!
After entering the office, Luo Beishi unbuttoned the top button of his shirt and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Honey, you don't seem to like wearing suits. Oh well, it's still quite cold, so it doesn't really matter whether you wear one or not."
Huo Cixiao hugged him from behind. "Yeah, if my wife wants to see it, I'll wear it every day, I could weld it to my body."
Luo Beishi: "..."
system:"..."
He cleared his throat. "Liking something is one thing, but it's not something a normal person would do."
Huo Cixiao gently kissed the tip of his ear again.
Luo Beishi shuddered. "Oh my god, this is going to kill me!"
His ears turned red, and his voice became much softer. "What are my job duties?"
Huo Cixiao: "Chairman's personal assistant."
Luo Beishi: "... He's more like a personal bodyguard!"
" Robert, the president of Landis Country K, is coming over this afternoon to discuss recent cooperation. Ling Kai and Lei Long are going to Country Y on a business trip today. After the meeting, we might have dinner with them tonight... Wife, do you want to come?" Huo Cixiao would listen to his wife's opinion. It was good enough that his wife came to work to accompany him. As for the internship... those didn't matter. His wife was already very rich. What was his was his wife's, so he didn't need to work hard.
Just come here for an internship to earn some academic credits.
Luo Beishi, "Sure, I haven't eaten at this kind of event in ages. It's actually quite a novel experience."
Huo Cixiao's hand unconsciously shifted to another spot.
Luo Beishi: "... Why did I think you were upright yesterday?"
Huo Cixiao whispered in his ear, "Am I not upright?"
"Knock, knock, knock." Special Assistant Wen had been standing at the door for ages, and they hadn't even reported the itinerary yet. These two...
He took a deep breath. Having been around Huo Cixiao for so long, he was no longer afraid of death. He reminded him, "Chairman, it's time to arrange today's work."
Luo Beishi: "Pfft."
Huo Cixiao turned his head and glared at this clueless special assistant.
Special Assistant Wen shrugged and smiled.
Huo Cixiao: "... Hmph."
Luo Bai's savings are almost gone, but his father hasn't given him a penny...
Perhaps sensing the meaning in Luo Bai's eyes, Xu Qing said helplessly, " Xiao Bai, Dad has deposited all the money in an overseas account. I came back in a hurry this time, and that bank doesn't support cross-border transactions... The company in China hasn't been established for very long either..." He then gave a bitter smile.
Luo Bai frowned. Although somewhat disappointed, he thought about it and realized that Xu Qing had indeed been in a hurry when he arrived.
Luo Bai: "What should we do then...?"
Xu Qing: "My partner owns a company that's hiring models. Want to give it a try?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Bai's eyes immediately lit up. "Is that okay?" He thought about how his online public opinion had recently turned around quite a bit.
When he publicly called out Luo Beishi online last time, Luo Beishi didn't respond or say anything. Does that mean Luo Beishi intends to let him off the hook?
He suppressed his excitement, "Dad, I want to go."
Xu Qing nodded. "I'll ask him tonight and ask him to arrange for someone from the company to interview you."
Upon hearing the word "interview," Luo Bai felt a little hesitant. "Ah... Dad, I haven't graduated yet, I've never been to an interview..."
Xu Qing comforted him, "It's just a matter of going through the procedures. Once your leg can be removed from the cast in a few days, you can go and take a class. Your leg injury was quite serious before, but you can still work as a print model; the income should be quite considerable..."
Half an hour later, Luo Bai realized that Xu Qing's words made perfect sense. He had never been exposed to society, and had never even done a part-time job.
With Xu Qing and his friends backing him up, he felt much more at ease. He didn't want to wait because he had no money, and he was also in a hurry.
"Then I'll go for the interview tomorrow, and go back to class after the cast is removed in a few days." Actually, it would be best to wait another month before removing the cast, but he had no choice. He needed Xu Qing to pay for it, and if Xu Qing objected, she wouldn't be able to inherit his property and company in the future.
Xu Qing nodded. "Okay, I'll have someone arrange it."
He went out onto the balcony and closed the French windows again. Luo Bai could only watch him from inside the house, but couldn't hear him.
A lewd voice came from the other end of the phone. " Xu Qing, are you serious?"
Xu Qing: "Okay, he'll be there tomorrow. You guys prepare accordingly, and don't alert him beforehand."
Inside the room, Luo Bai watched Xu Qing's serious expression, and her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, slowly calmed down.
Now, only Xu Qing can help him from his family. Qu Wanying from the Qin Family is completely useless; she even caused him to go insane. She's a real piece of trash, making him pay back all 200 million yuan.
The web series that I invested some money in before has not been recouped at all. It was about to be released, but the platform terminated the cooperation. The two main actors in it became legal figures. They had the most screen time in the whole series.
If both of them get arrested, then this show is truly doomed.
He never expected that even a nobody like him could have his career ruined.
He really broke down that day.
Forget it, let's just say he's having a run of bad luck lately. He's going to start over.
