No wonder these years, Lin Yixun would work at the "Nightshade." With her education and abilities, no matter how bad things got, she should still have been able to find an ordinary job at a small or medium-sized company, not end up working at a nightclub.
Leng Yixiu narrowed his eyes, pondering the entire situation. If it wasn’t him who issued the "prohibition order," then who was it?
"Assistant Chen, go check who exactly issued the ’prohibition order.’"
Assistant Chen was somewhat confused. If the big boss asked him to investigate this matter, could it be that the "prohibition order" wasn’t issued by him?
In the evening, Lin Yixun returned to the Half Mountain Villa with Old He as usual. To her surprise, Leng Yixiu was actually there. For the past few days, he had mostly come back pretty late.
Seeing Lin Yixun walk into the flower hall, Sister Yi immediately greeted her with a smile, "Miss Lin, you’re back? Mr. Leng just arrived too, and he’s been waiting to have dinner with you."
"I’ve already eaten." She had no mood to dine with Leng Yixiu.
"Even if you’ve eaten, you can still eat a little more. Miss Lin, you’re so thin, you need to eat more to gain some weight."
"No need, eating too much dinner isn’t good for digestion." And facing Leng Yixiu, it would only make her digestion worse.
Just then, Leng Yixiu walked out from the dining room, his face as cold as ever, his voice even colder, "Come here, I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it? Just say it now."
"It’s about your job."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yixun couldn’t help but frown, "Have you been investigating me?"
"No need to investigate your affairs; I naturally know them."
Lin Yixun scoffed silently. Since Leng Yixiu wanted to discuss this matter, she might as well lay it out clearly with him. She suddenly smiled, "Alright, then let’s have a good talk about my job today."
She intended to talk about the job, but who would have thought that once at the dinner table, the man only said lightly, "Eat."
Lin Yixun didn’t know whether to be angry or amused. She glanced coldly at the sumptuous dishes on the table. These rich people really know how to eat differently. Well then, if she didn’t eat for free, it would be a waste. She might as well eat heartily.
Compared to the man’s graceful and composed demeanor, her eating manner was rather unsightly. But she couldn’t care less; she had one thought in her mind: if her eating manner were even worse, would Leng Yixiu get disgusted with her sooner?
Just as she was engrossed in eating, a tissue was handed to her. She looked up at the man opposite her but didn’t take the tissue from his hand.
"There’s no need, thank you." Saying this, she forcefully wiped the grease off the corner of her lips, hoping this action would gross him out.
But she seemed to underestimate the man’s tolerance. Seeing her , there wasn’t any disgust or repulsion in his eyes, instead, there was something indescribable.
Lin Yixun turned her eyes away coldly, "I’ve finished eating. Whatever you want to say, get on with it."
The man put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked in a deep voice, "Are you looking for a job?"
"Help me? Mr. Leng, are you trying to mess things up for me? I haven’t forgotten what you said back then, and as you wished, I haven’t been able to find a decent job all these years. Oh, I almost forgot to tell you, the resumes I recently submitted seem to have sunk without a trace as well. Mr. Leng, your character, I dare not compliment, but your ability, I have to admire. After so many years, your words are still so effective."
