Chapter 65
Leng Huai had never been so determined to contend with anything before.
"Beep, card recognition failed, please swipe your card!"
Leng Huai stared wide-eyed at the two curved objects blocking his way.
He was about to use his magic to smash the obstructing thing when he realized he couldn't use his magic at all.
"Hey, are you coming in or not?" A woman behind him looked at Leng Huai, who was blocking his way, with great dissatisfaction, but when she saw Leng Huai's face, she showed a lovestruck smile.
Wow, when did our company get such a handsome man?! Which department are you from?
The woman pressed him for answers, but he completely ignored her.
Leng Huai was still struggling with the rows of doors. He had clearly seen others just stop here briefly and go in, but why did it not work for him?
The woman noticed Leng Huai's puzzled question and asked with a smile, "You're not from our company, are you? You want to join, right?"
Leng Huai grasped the key words and finally managed to give the woman a reluctant "hmm".
The woman took out her card, swiped it on the machine, and the door in front of her opened with a whoosh.
Before she could even speak, the man strode inside on his own.
I did not thank her.
Having a unique personality is what makes people even more fascinated.
His handsome and charming appearance completely captivated her heart.
The man is wearing ancient costume. Could he be a male actor who came to the company for an audition?
"Sister Qi."
Zhou Qi was only brought back to her senses when someone behind her suddenly called her name. Leng Huai had already stepped into the elevator.
Zhou Qi quickly followed, and before the elevator doors closed, she squeezed in.
The subordinate wanted to squeeze in as well, but when he saw Zhou Qi's fierce and menacing warning look, he shrank back in fear.
The subordinates were baffled. Sister Qi had never been so flustered when squeezing into the elevator before. Even when she missed work, she was always calm and elegant.
Why is it so abnormal today?
Zhou Qi is the head of the company's publicity department. She is capable, young, beautiful, tall, and has a great temperament. She is the object of many men's secret crushes in the company.
Zhou Qi was squeezed to the edge of the elevator, with Leng Huai behind her.
She seemed to smell the unique fragrance emanating from the man.
What brand of perfume is this? She's a perfume connoisseur, but she doesn't know.
As expected, the man she chose had unique taste.
Suddenly the elevator doors opened, and a large group of people rushed out. She was wearing high heels and was almost squeezed out.
Even though the morning rush hour is over, there are still so many people. Why are all these people so late?
She muttered to herself, while also fantasizing about whether something romantic might happen.
For example, when she was about to be pushed down by these people, he pulled her into his arms in a domineering manner.
Just thinking about it makes her blush and her heart race.
To her surprise, she was indeed jostled by these people and almost fell over. Her heel snapped with a crack!
Her body fell backward toward Leng Huai, and Leng Huai's face moved further and further away from her as she fell.
Her eyes seemed to be saying, "Quick, help me up!"
But Leng Huai maintained his cold gaze and didn't even glance at her.
The man made no attempt to help her up until her bottom touched the cold ground.
A beauty like Zhou Qi is naturally adored since childhood; she's never encountered such cold treatment before.
This, on the contrary, fueled her competitive spirit!
She absolutely had to win him over!
She quickly got up from the ground and stood beside Leng Huai with an indifferent expression.
After the elevator doors closed, Leng Huai suddenly spoke.
Do you know Mo Xiaoxin? Which floor is she on?
This building looks very tall; it would take a long time to search it floor by floor.
Zhou Qi suppressed her inner joy. Sure enough, feigning aloofness worked on men, and they couldn't help but take the initiative to talk to her.
However, she hadn't heard of the person he mentioned. She shook her head, her eyes darting around before she nodded again. She said, "This whole building belongs to our company. I'm the head of the publicity department. Finding someone is easy for me. You're here for an interview, right? Just follow me."
Leng Huai didn't quite understand what the woman in front of him was saying, but he understood that she could find someone, and that was enough.
Leng Huai followed Zhou Qi out of the elevator. Before leaving, he glanced at the elevator floor: 10th floor.
Meanwhile, on the 39th floor, Mo Xiaoxin was being harshly scolded by her supervisor.
"Mo Xiaoxin, do you even want this job? How many times have you been late? Is your work attitude this bad? If you don't want to work here, just leave now. Even college graduates can't find jobs these days, so hurry up and make room for someone!" The supervisor's tone was extremely harsh.
Mo Xiaoxin just wanted to roll her eyes. She muttered under her breath, "Isn't it because they suddenly made me work overtime in the middle of the night yesterday, until after 3 a.m.? How could I possibly get up in the morning?"
"You slack off at work during the day, so if you don't work overtime, who will?"
Mo Xiaoxin: "???"
It's clearly because you've assigned too many things; you can't finish them all during the day, so why are you making a mess of things?
"And you, Pan Shan, you're a long-time employee too, are you just as immature as Mo Xiaoxin?"
"..."
After being reprimanded by their supervisor, Mo Xiaoxin and Pan Shan returned to their workstations, both looking speechless.
After the supervisor left, the two couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
But the supervisor hadn't gone far. Hearing the two whispering, he turned back and said, "Aren't you going to do your work? Are you waiting for me to do it for you?"
The two of them sheepishly shut up and went off to work like oxen and horses.
Leng Huai followed Zhou Qi to a large office. There were many people sitting outside the office door, who were there to interview for the male actors the company was recruiting.
The company is preparing to shoot a short video. The female lead has already been cast, and now all that's missing is a handsome male lead.
Because this product is for men, the choice of the male lead is especially important.
Zhou Qi has already auditioned quite a few male actors, but she is not satisfied with any of them.
When the boys saw Zhou Qi arrive, they all stood up and nodded politely.
Zhou Qi walked straight into the office, turned to Leng Huai and said, "Come in for the interview first."
Leng Huai sensed that Zhou Qi's aura seemed different from before, becoming stern and assertive.
All eyes turned to him; they couldn't understand why this newcomer had been able to enter before them.
Leng Huai felt their gazes tighten slightly, but he couldn't care less about anything else in order to find Mo Xiaoxin, so he followed them into the office.
After Zhou Qi entered the office, he sat down and said to Leng Huai in a superior manner, "Close the door."
Leng Huai, who was always aloof and superior, had never been treated like this before, especially by a complete stranger he had just met.
Leng Huai closed the door, his voice icy: "Where exactly is Mo Xiaoxin?"
Zhou Qi blinked: "Don't rush me. Our company has thousands or even tens of thousands of employees. It's not easy to find someone like this. Tell me about your situation first."
Zhou Qi meant to ask Leng Huai to explain his past acting experience, but Leng Huai misunderstood. He was stunned for a moment, thinking, "Do I need to explain things to someone?"
Could it be...?
Leng Huai flashed in front of Zhou Qi and held a knife to her neck.
Zhou Qi was startled by his chilling aura. The gleaming blade was only a centimeter away from her neck. She was terrified and her face turned pale: "You, what do you want to do?"
"I hate people who dawdle the most. I only followed you up here because you said you knew where Mo Xiaoxin was. Now you're saying you don't know? Then die!"
Zhou Qi turned pale with fright and quickly said, "I know, I know, I was just joking with you! I'll find it for you right away!"
Zhou Qi had intended to take this opportunity to ask Leng Huai about his situation, but she never expected him to have such a bad temper and be so bold!
She called her assistant and asked her to find an employee named "Mo Xiaoxin".
A short while later, the assistant sent a message.
Zhou Qi pointed to Mo Xiaoxin's resume on the computer, which included Mo Xiaoxin's photo: "Take a look and see if this is the person you're looking for?"
Leng Huai glanced at the screen and, although the person in the photo was without makeup, he immediately recognized her as Mo Xiaoxin: "That's right."
Zhou Qi quickly replied, "She's on the 39th floor."
Leng Huai expressionlessly sheathed his knife and left the room without looking back.
The group of male actors waiting outside saw Leng Huai come out with a dark face and they all wondered what had happened.
Zhou Qi watched Leng Huai's departing figure, touched her neck, and smiled: "So exciting? I like it."
When Leng Huai arrived at the 39th floor, the receptionist stopped him and tried to get him to register, but Leng Huai ignored her and walked in, leaving the receptionist looking anxious.
He scanned the area and immediately located Mo Xiaoxin's position.
Mo Xiaoxin was typing away on her keyboard. Her supervisor had asked her to finish processing all these documents.
Suddenly, she noticed a dark shadow behind her. When she turned around, she was so scared she almost jumped out of her skin!
"You, you, you!!" Mo Xiaoxin was so frightened that she stammered.
Leng Huai grabbed Mo Xiaoxin's hand and left, no matter how hard Mo Xiaoxin tried to shake him off, she couldn't.
Mo Xiaoxin was on the verge of tears, but her colleagues around her seemed to be blind and ignored her.
She glanced at Pan Shan's workstation; Pan Shan had disappeared somewhere early in the morning.
The receptionist had never encountered such an unreasonable person. Mo Xiaoxin tried desperately to signal to her with her eyes, but the receptionist just shrugged and said she couldn't do anything about it.
Mo Xiaoxin looked up to the sky and roared. She really didn't want to stay in this lousy company for even a day longer.
Pan Shan appeared just as they arrived at the door.
He had just come out of the toilet when he saw Leng Huai, that pervert, pulling Mo Xiaoxin along. He immediately rushed in front of Mo Xiaoxin and separated the two.
Pan Shan shouted sternly, "Who let him in?"
The receptionist disappeared without a trace.
Leng Huai glanced at Pan Shan's hand on Mo Xiaoxin's wrist and said in an icy tone, "Take your hand off."
Pan Shan glared at Leng Huai: "Who exactly are you? Why are you bothering Xiaoxin?"
“She is my wife,” Leng Huai said.
Leng Huai's casual remark stunned Mo Xiaoxin.
What nonsense is this man spouting? He's completely out of his mind. Who's his wife?
For some reason, she felt a strange familiarity with the man's aloof expression.
No, that's impossible.
They didn't know each other at all; she had never seen such a handsome man, nor such an abstract-minded man.
Pan Shan didn't want to get involved with the pervert, so he directly started fighting with Leng Huai.
Having lost his magic power, Leng Huai could only fight Pan Shan hand-to-hand. He didn't expect that this tall and thin man in front of him would actually be quite skilled.
Two men were dancing wildly in front of her.
With a bang, Pan Shan was punched in the right cheek. Seeing that Leng Huai's fist was about to fall again, Mo Xiaoxin frowned and immediately stood in front of Pan Shan.
Leng Huai's fist froze in mid-air, his eyes revealing an ambiguous emotion.
Mo Xiaoxin met the man's gaze, and for some reason, she saw hurt in his eyes.
Mo Xiaoxin had a bold guess in his mind: Could it be that she did something to offend him while drunk? Otherwise, why would he keep bothering her?
