Chapter 20: Chapter 20

"Go die, you thug!" Seeing Zhang Xiaohao’s move, Su Ruobai completely lost it. She yelled angrily, pushed off the ground with one foot, spun her body in mid-air, and delivered a simple yet brutal flying side kick, bringing a gust of wind straight at Zhang Xiaohao’s head.

"Hey, beautiful, aren’t you a bit too enthusiastic? You just offered your right foot, and now you can’t wait to give me your left? How am I supposed to accept such kindness?" Zhang Xiaohao taunted with a smug smile.

Facing her incoming left foot, he yanked hard on her right ankle, which he was holding, hoisted her into the air with her legs up and head down.

In this upside-down position, the short skirt Su Ruobai was wearing promptly fell towards her waist, exposing the black lace underneath to the open air.

"Ah! Bastard! Thug! Shameless! Let me go right now! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being rude!" Su Ruobai gnashed her teeth in rage as she bellowed.

"Do you really want me to let you go?" Zhang Xiaohao asked with a serious tone.

"Nonsense! Let go of me right now, or you are dead meat!" Su Ruobai threatened.

"Absolutely sure! Hurry up and let go of me! Or else, I’ll make you regret it!" Su Ruobai said viciously.

"Fine! Then I am letting go."

Saying that, Zhang Xiaohao simply released his grip, and without Zhang Xiaohao supporting her, Su Ruobai’s delicate body immediately plummeted towards the ground.

Su Ruobai made intimate contact with the ground. Thankfully, there was a layer of red carpet spread out, or the fall would have surely caused her more pain.

"Bastard! Are you a pig? When I told you to let go, did it mean you actually had to let go? How can you be so stupid?" Su Ruobai complained, rubbing her sore behind.

"Well, uh, I have something else to do, so I’ll be off. You carry on!" Dropping these words, Zhang Xiaohao quickly headed for the exit.

"Asshole! Stop right there, come back here! You and I are not done!" Watching Zhang Xiaohao’s retreating figure, Su Ruobai shouted shrilly.

What a joke! He’d really stirred up trouble this time, and if not now, then when was it time to flee? Her words only made Zhang Xiaohao even less daring to stay, as he rushed towards the outside even more frantically.

The door of the room slammed shut again.

"This is trouble! With her fiery grudge-holding temperament, will she make things difficult for me during this afternoon’s interview?" Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaohao felt a major headache coming on.

Wasn’t he just trying to use the bathroom in peace? Was all this really necessary?

Feeling guilty as he returned to the meeting room, patting his loudly rumbling stomach, Zhang Xiaohao took a tea egg out from the Shennong Ring, closed the door of the meeting room, flipped his palm over, and began to circulate the Shennong Battle Sky Technique, his palm emanating a wave of golden True Qi.

If any other Ancient Martial Artists saw this scene, seeing Zhang Xiaohao extravagantly heat a tea egg with True Qi, they would probably be so angry they’d spit blood.

After heating up a dozen or so tea eggs, Zhang Xiaohao didn’t hold back. He chuckled proudly, picked up a tea egg, and started eating.

After finishing, he crossed his legs on the table, found a comfortable position, and began to sleep.

Time passed quickly, almost imperceptibly.

In the blink of an eye, it was already two o’clock in the afternoon.

The conference room door was pushed open from outside, and Su Ruobai entered with a cold face, followed by the clerk Xiao Wen in the same frosty manner.

Upon seeing Zhang Xiaohao actually asleep, Su Ruobai felt a surge of irritation, immediately slapped the table, and barked, "Get up!"

"Oh! Hello, beauty, we meet again," Zhang Xiaohao said with a smile as he opened his eyes.

"Wipe that grin off your face! Mr. Cheng has been held up with something urgent and won’t make it to the interview this afternoon. I’ll be hosting it alone!"

At this point, as if something occurred to her, Su Ruobai looked at Xiao Wen and asked, "What about the other two candidates?"

"I guess something came up at the last minute for them; they probably won’t make it either!" Xiao Wen replied thoughtfully.

"Hmph! No matter what the reason, they dared to be late! Their interview opportunity is canceled! Also, make a note of this: in our company, any employee, no matter who, if they dare to be late! First time, a deduction from that month’s bonus; second time, a fine of three months’ salary! The third time, they will be fired on the spot! If there is no adherence to principles, how can we talk about entrusting company tasks to them?" Su Ruobai said with icy authority.

"Yes, Mr. Su, I understand," Xiao Wen replied respectfully.

"Zhang Xiaohao, right? I’m officially notifying you now, your final interview round is beginning!"

Continuing, Su Ruobai asked, "Our company mainly produces cosmetics. The role of Public Relations Manager is crucial, dealing with whether our products, once produced, can enter the market! As a competent Public Relations Manager, you would start planning well before the products are even made!"

She paused, then continued, "For example, our company has developed a product suitable for women aged twenty to thirty. You are now the Public Relations Manager. How would you open up the market and sell this product?"

Looking at Su Ruobai, who was previously an unapproachable goddess, she had become a competent businesswoman in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Xiaohao did not answer immediately. After a moment of silence, he uttered two words, "Advertising!"

"Be more specific!" Su Ruobai demanded, with a cold expression.

"If I were the Public Relations Manager of the company, with limited funds, I would use the resources at hand to maximize the impact of advertising! Ideally, make it nationally known! Whether a product sells well or not doesn’t depend on how good it is, but on whether the advertising is done properly! Even a worthless product can sell well if the advertising is spot on, provided that the product has no side effects," Zhang Xiaohao explained seriously.

"Take a seat here, I’ll be back in a moment. Xiao Wen, get him a glass of water!" With that, Su Ruobai walked out.

Outside the conference room,

Su Ruobai took out her phone and called Cheng Tianxue.

Once the call was answered, Su Ruobai said, "Tianxue, the result of the interview is in, it’s a man! He’s quite excellent in all aspects! According to the unwritten rule from the past, we don’t hire men for the PR department! However, this time I’d like to ask for your favor, to let him have a trial, give him a chance!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Ruobai, with a cold face, walked back into the conference room.

Giving Zhang Xiaohao a chilly look, she thought triumphantly, Just wait, you little brat! Daring to take advantage of me, I won’t let this go until I’ve gotten back at you! Considering how Su Ruobai has never been put at such a disadvantage from childhood until now, there will be plenty of time, and I will settle the score with you slowly!

"Zhang Xiaohao, isn’t it? Congratulations, you’ve passed the interview. You’re now part of Bai Xue Cosmetics Company as the Public Relations Manager! You have a trial period of three months. If during this period, your performance fails to satisfy me, I can fire you at any time!" Su Ruobai stated dominantly.
