Chapter 871: Chapter 871

Just in time to find out if the BOSS and Su Meili really have a relationship!

"Fengying’s boss lady?" Bai Chenxi scoffed, "How come I didn’t know I have a girlfriend? The relationship between the Su Family and mine is good, but not good enough for Su Family people to come to my territory and meddle in my affairs."

The fiery voice on the other end of the phone scared Zhao Qiankun into a cold sweat.

However, what Bai Chenxi said was indeed true.

Even if Su Meili were Bai Chenxi’s girlfriend, the Su Family would have no right to interfere in Bai Family affairs.

Not to mention, matters of the company.

"I’m sorry, BOSS, I was foolish. It will never happen again." Zhao Qiankun’s voice trembled, knowing that his job could be at risk the next second.

Bai Chenxi clenched the phone, and after a brief silence, he spoke decisively: "Do as you must. Remember this: Fengying is Bai, not Su. If I find out anyone else is bought, don’t blame me for not showing mercy. This time, I’ll let it go seeing your timely remorse. No next time allowed."

"Yes, yes, yes... there absolutely won’t be a next time!" Zhao Qiankun assured.

The phone was slammed down from the other end.

Zhao Qiankun quickly wiped the sweat from his forehead with his phone.

Bai Chenxi hasn’t been seen losing his temper so badly in the two years since he took office.

Apparently, he doesn’t have feelings for Su Meili.

It’s all just his subordinates gossiping and Su Meili herself spreading rumors.

Almost got fooled by Su Meili into losing his job.

Five minutes passed since Zhao Qiankun left, and by the time he returned, the call had come.

The stage lights shone brightly, and the girl’s radiant silhouette became even more dazzling.

The producer had agreed to advance Yan Yuan. Evidently, he had given up on being bribed by Su Meili.

The other judges were all waiting for Zhao Qiankun to speak, as he was now the general manager of Fengying.

Since he had gone out, he must have gone to seek the boss’s opinion.

Seeing Zhao Qiankun return, everyone immediately turned their gaze to him.

Zhao Qiankun’s back was still damp with sweat as he returned to his seat, looking at Yan Yuan with a radiant smile: "Congratulations Yan Yuan on advancing. You are indeed the best among this batch of trainees. Looking forward to the advancement PK tomorrow—hope you’ll surprise us even more."

Upon hearing this, Yan Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If she hadn’t reacted quickly earlier and connected the stage lights with a battery from a scooter, she’d have missed the chance.

Now that she advanced, she’ll definitely come better prepared next time.

Yan Yuan’s gaze shifted towards a corner not far away, where Su Meili stood with a grim face.

She looked over, and Su Meili also glanced back.

Their gazes collided in the air, and Su Meili snorted coldly, turning to leave with big strides.

Yan Yuan chuckled lightly and looked at the judges’ panel, nodding respectfully, "Thank you all for your recognition. Yan Yuan will definitely work hard to live up to everyone’s expectations."

The promotion competition ended.

Yan Yuan returned backstage and changed into casual sportswear, putting away her dress.

This was, after all, a dress she made by buying fabric and sewing it overnight.

The design was stitched according to what her mother made for her.

However, the material available in the Mortal World was only fabric, a stark contrast to the segments forged with aurora in the Immortal Realm.

Fortunately, the effect was decent, and the impression given was good.

"Yan Yuan, you were simply amazing." Xiao Jiemei rushed in from the doorway, saying, "I was so worried for you just now. Didn’t expect you had this trick."

A few days ago, Xiao Jiemei saw that while others were helping organize dance rehearsals and forming teams, only she was busy making clothes.

Initially, she found it odd, but now it seems Yan Yuan was confident about this PK advancement.

The performance just now truly left everyone astonished.

"What’s the big deal? Congratulations on passing the advancement PK too," Yan Yuan said with a smile.

Xiao Jiemei sighed, "If I get to play the third female lead in this web drama script, I’d be satisfied."

She is aware, since Zhao Qiankun recognized Yan Yuan as the best among this batch of trainees.

Her chance of playing the first female lead is the greatest.

If Su Meili pulls connections to claim the female second lead role, then Xiao Jiemei could only opt for the third lead.

As long as it’s not a role with just a few lines as a passing cameo, it’s fine.

"Hey, be careful, Su Meili might play dirty in the second round," Xiao Jiemei reminded.

Yan Yuan nodded upon hearing it, "That’s true. Jiemei, if you have time this afternoon, can you do me a favor?"

"What is it? Just say it, if I can help, I will," replied Xiao Jiemei.

Yan Yuan whispered into her ear for a while.

Xiao Jiemei’s eyes lit up upon hearing it. "So simple?"

"Of course! Go ahead, I need to step out; I’ll bring you something good to eat when I return tonight," Yan Yuan said as she left, carrying her backpack and laptop.

It seemed like she was heading out to handle something important.

Yan Yuan left the dormitory with her backpack.

She had an appointment that afternoon.

Previously, she had sent her resume online; it was from the company CLA, an online shopping platform recruiting a network maintenance engineer.

For some reason, they only responded yesterday afternoon.

She had to prepare for advancement in the morning, leaving only the afternoon available.

Hence, they scheduled it for five in the afternoon.

The company had given her their address, and she only needed to go there.

Yan Yuan took the bus and spent two hours finding the company.

CLA was located in a business center, a tall skyscraper over twenty floors, with many people coming and going.

Yan Yuan entered the building with her backpack and got into the elevator.

She found the fourteenth floor and upon exiting the elevator saw a plaque saying CLA headquarters.

Yan Yuan walked in, heading towards the reception.

The lady at the reception noticed Yan Yuan and quickly asked, "Excuse me, miss, who might you be?"

"I am Yan Yuan, here to apply for the network maintenance engineer position."

The reception lady’s eyes filled with skepticism upon Yan Yuan’s words.

Especially seeing her age; so young, could she handle being an engineer?

But her boss had instructed to pay attention to the lady named Yan Yuan.

"Right this way!" The receptionist led Yan Yuan into the conference room.

Her presence drew the attention of everyone in the office.

Naturally because of her beauty and youth, applying for an engineer role, leaving everyone surprised.

Yan Yuan sat in the conference room for two minutes.

While she silently observed the company, the conference room door opened.

A man around twenty-five or six walked in at the door.

He had flax-colored tousled hair, and a handsome slender face—with distinctive eyes under thick brows, dressed in a silver suit making him appear like a character from an animation.

"Hello!" Yan Yuan was the first to react, smiling, "I’m here for the interview."

"You are Yan Yuan?" Though Tang Xirui had heard from the secret technique, seeing in person still surprised him.

Wasn’t it mentioned she was twenty? Her actual age seemed only eighteen.

Yan Yuan wasn’t bothered by others’ shock and said with a smile, "Mr. Tang, do you think I’m dressed too young? Shall I try some curls and glasses for decoration?"

"No, no, it’s me being too surprised. Miss Yan, you’re youthfully beautiful like a fairy," Tang Xirui laughed.

Yan Yuan didn’t refute and directly got to the point, "Can we start the interview?"

Tang Xirui pointed to the seat, "Please sit!"

He picked up a remote on the side, turning on the projector. He introduced the current problems faced by CLA to Yan Yuan.

"Here’s the situation, CLA is an online shopping platform, recently we’ve encountered many illegal vendors selling substandard products, accompanied by garbage ads. While our backend has cleared the ads, they pop back up after twelve hours."

Yan Yuan silently listened until Tang Xirui finished.

She then calmly said, "I can solve such issues in no time. But before working, we must discuss the work arrangements!"

Yan Yuan spoke straightforwardly.

Tang Xirui couldn’t help but smile, "Little girl, if you can solve this, any condition you have I’ll accept. But I have to tell you in advance. Before you, ten people have checked this, they were all overseas returnees, even engineers from big companies. None succeeded in completely resolving this!"

Yan Yuan seemed indifferent, clearly knowing the other party didn’t quite believe her words. Given her youthful appearance, failing where returning experts couldn’t, she seemed unlikely.

"My condition is confidentiality regarding my work. Also, I won’t come to the company for work—everything will be handled online. Unless there’s a major event, don’t bother me lightly; I’m quite busy!" Yan Yuan’s words were clear, straightforward, and oddly proud.

Tang Xirui laughed heartily, doubting her capability.

But her confidence seemed appropriate for a young person.
