Chapter 8 A Dumb Blonde

• Upon hearing Ling Zhixiao's name, the guard paused in hesitation.
• A loud voice interrupted the tensed moment. “Jian Man! Who asked you to dress yourself this way for your interview?!”
• The Company Secretary was mad at her poor choice of attire. Even if her friend was the best candidate around, her appearance itself was not palatable enough to pass the first round of the interview.
• “I'm not even worried; what are you so scared of?” Jian Man replied confidently. After all, she was a very experienced employee when it came to working with queer bosses. A small interview like this was not enough to unnerve her yet.
• “I really cannot understand you! How on earth did you even manage to survive in TE!” Ling Zhixiao sighed heavily as she brought her friend inside the building.
• Halfway across the lobby, a big bunch of men suddenly appeared before them. Ling Zhixiao immediately dragged Jian Man aside and hid the woman behind her.
• All staff on the first floor were now lining both sides of the lobby as they bowed respectfully and greeted in unison, “Morning, Mr. Fu!”
• The lobby was quiet after the loud greet. Only the sound of footsteps was heard as it slowly approached their current position. Jian Man was tugged further behind by Ling Zhixiao; she could feel the sweat gathering in her friend's palm.
• It had been five years. That man was now the President of his company, and was now much more mature and powerful than before.
• Just as she sank in her thoughts, Jian Man heard his heavy footsteps stopping before her, followed by an imposing deep voice. “Ling Zhixiao, materials on the buyer please.”
• Jian Man could hear the obvious tremble in her friend's voice. “Will do as soon as I can, Mr. Fu.”
• “I want it now!” The man ordered unyieldingly before instructing a few more tasks tersely and continuing ahead.
• Jian Man looked at his back. Fu Hanyu had a tall and firm figure, the curves on his torso still as excellent as before. Just when she was observing intently, the man suddenly turned back. His hawk-like eyes directly came into contact with hers.
• Not that she never had eye contact with him before. Still, her hands trembled under the sharp gaze.
• From the front, Fu Hanyu was clad in his form-fitting black suit and black tie with golden stripes. His excellent body shape was coupled with his dashing and intricate features, making him manlier than the last time she had met him. As usual, his moves were simply noble and graceful to charm the hearts of ladies.
• Unlike the last time though, Fu Hanyu now exuded a chilly vibe that she was not accustomed to.
• “No random outsiders in Fu Corporation.” His gaze did not leave Jian Man as he spoke. Instead, he was eyeing the woman up and down with his judging gaze.
• The current Jian Man had dressed herself in an old-fashioned manner; plus, her make-up made her look old. She had been hoping for him to not recognize her anyway.
• Panicking at his words, Ling Zhixiao answered immediately, “Mr. Fu, she's not a random outsider. This lady is here for the interview of the Strategy Planning Department.”
• All the staff rolled their eyes at her words.
• It was well known that Fu Corporation had stringent standards for their interviews. Just the first round of resume review would filter a whole lot of people. The next few interviews would be much tougher.
• “Appearance itself is enough to out this person.” Fu Hanyu dead-panned without giving a chance.
• The guards immediately came over to drag Jian Man out of the building. Now that Fu Hanyu himself had ordered for her to scram, she would never stand a chance here despite being recommended by Ling Zhixiao.
• “Mr. Fu, does that mean you would rather employ a dumb blonde over a person with brains?” Jian Man's lips curled upwards as she came out behind Ling Zhixiao and strode towards him.
• She had deliberately changed her voice to a hoarse one. Coupled with her unrecognizable appearance and change in name, Jian Man had no worries about being exposed of her true identity.
• But Ling Zhixiao was terribly shocked. How did her voice change so drastically!
• Fu Hanyu's gaze moved towards her eyes that glistened with absolute confidence.
• That pair of eyes....
• “If you need a dumb blonde, then I'll voluntarily exit the interview. With my ability, I believe any company that employs me will be the greatest competitor of Fu Corporation.”
