Words Count: 2404

Without breaking through this layer of water bag, the water inside would remain unaffected. At this point, Liang Zhenghong had already exerted all of his strength, his forehead veins bulging, but the result remained unchanged.

Chen Yi keenly sensed Liang Zhenghong's limit and no longer persisted. He lightly shook his wrist, and a burst of rebounding force erupted. Liang Zhenghong felt as if Chen Yi's hand had suddenly sprouted countless fine needles, causing him to instinctively release his grip. He exclaimed in amazement, "What incredible skills!"

Chen Yi smiled and replied, "Brother Liang, you flatter me. It's just a trivial skill, not worth mentioning."

"Are you insulting me, young man?" Liang Zhenghong smiled bitterly. If this was considered a trivial skill, then weren't all his skills trash?

"Manager Liu, let's go. With this young man here, I won't embarrass myself," Liang Zhenghong said.

Manager Liu exclaimed, "Wait, you're giving up just like that? But that's a 50,000 yuan monthly salary!"

Liang Zhenghong sighed, "No matter how much money there is, you need the ability to earn it. This young man's skills are too formidable. If he were to make a move, I wouldn't stand a chance."

Manager Liu hesitated, wanting to persuade him, but Liang Zhenghong had already made up his mind. He waved his hand toward Chen Yi and turned to leave.

Sister Yun couldn't help but curl her lips, finding it hard to contain her smile. However, she felt a bit embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, Manager Liu, for this situation..."

Manager Liu couldn't help but smile wryly. In the end, he sighed and said, "Well, when one's skills are inferior, there's nothing much to say. I can only wish you good luck." He shook his head and left as well.

It wasn't until the two men had walked away that Sister Yun excitedly hugged Chen Yi's arm. "Little brother, you're amazing! You scared away the opponent without even moving!"

Chen Yi couldn't help but call her 'two-faced' woman in his heart, but he truly didn't mind. He also playfully pinched her full buttocks and replied, "Do you still doubt my skills? Stop dawdling and let's go. We don't want someone else to snatch our spot."

"Okay, okay." Lian Suyun was already a little accustomed to Chen Yi's lewd gestures. She allowed him to take advantage once before pushing his hand away. With the interruption caused by Manager Liu, their steps quickened significantly. In no time, they arrived at a luxurious villa that spanned at least five hundred square meters.

The black and gold alloy gate was tightly closed, with only the side door next to the security room slightly open. Three or four well-built, alert-looking men were waiting in line at the entrance. On the side, several men and women were gathered, engrossed in conversation.

"Manager Lian, you're here too?" As they saw Lian Suyun, the group of people stood up, clearly recognizing each other. The real estate agent circle in the bustling city was small yet not too small. If you worked in the field for a while, you would know almost everyone. Lian Suyun greeted them with a nod and then led Chen Yi to join the queue. After the two left, the group of people started whispering to each other.

"You can't rely on young people to get things done. They wanted a retired soldier, not a kid running around causing trouble."

"Why don't you mind your own business? This is already the seventh person you've sent, always making empty promises. You're all talk and no action."

"I didn't invite you, Old Lei. I wasn't talking about you... Oh, I see now. Are you interested in little Lian? Don't blame me for not warning you. She just got married recently about a year ago, and I even saw her husband when we went to the hot pot restaurant. They have a great relationship. You better mind your own business."

"You, you good-for-nothing fool! Who do you think you are?!"

While the two argued, on the other side, Lian Suyun had already finished filling out the forms with Chen Yi. The elderly doorman wearing glasses glanced over them and said, "Why is it a student? Our standards are not low. If you haven't served in the military, you should leave."

Lian Suyun explained unhurriedly, "Sir, let me explain. He has been practicing martial arts since he was a child and is quite formidable. When he arrived, he even encountered someone from the Black Tiger Special Forces team. Just by shaking hands, he scared that person away."

"The Black Tiger Special Forces team? The one from Jinzhou?" The old man clearly had heard of it. "Don't try to deceive me. You'll have to go through an interview later."

Lian Suyun helplessly replied, "Yes, that's right. We're just waiting for the interview."

The old man remained sceptical and said, "Fine, wait at the back then."

"Thank you, sir," Lian Suyun breathed a sigh of relief and pulled Chen Yi to the back of the line. "Don't be nervous. Although you are a pervert, you are a strong pervert. Sister believes in your abilities."

Chen Yi was speechless, "Which eye of yours saw me being nervous? Okay, go over there and wait for good news. When we go back, I'll let you know how perverted I can be."

"Okay, okay. Good luck!" Lian Suyun waved her little fist and went to the manager's office.

Chen Yi waited idly for a while, and then a middle-aged man walked out, looking dejected and a hint of fear in his eyes.

This was already the third one. Basically, everyone who went in came out in less than a minute, and their expressions were almost identical. Chen Yi was starting to feel unsure. How on earth were they conducting these interviews? They were all ex-soldiers, yet they all seemed to be scared out of their wits.

Could it be that there was a tiger inside?

Two minutes later, Chen Yi wanted to slap himself in the face.

What the heck? Is this some kind of divine intervention?

Didn't he ask whether there was a tiger?!

Well, there really was a tiger!

Yes, a tiger!

Following the old man's guidance, Chen Yi entered the backyard of the villa, and there he saw a magnificent tiger crawling on the ground. Next to the tiger was a young girl around 14-15 years old wearing white stockings, with her hair tied up in a bun.

At the first glance of this girl, Chen Yi's jaw nearly dropped. She was absolutely stunning. It was as if she had walked straight out of a comic book, with every feature perfectly sculpted by a master creator, delicately adorning her petite oval face. Her tall and slender figure had just the right curves, not overly exaggerated but incredibly perfect. The sheer pleated skirt wrapped around a pair of breasts that could rival the letter C, teasingly revealing a captivating cleavage. Her round and perky buttocks were like delicious peaches. Just the thought of holding onto such a little beauty from behind and grinding his big dark cock on her snowy buttocks made Chen Yi's mouth water.

"Hey, are you here for the interview too?" The girl's voice was as clear and sweet as a mountain spring, awakening Chen Yi from his fantasies. He coughed and replied, "Yes, may I ask what I should do?"

"It's simple, fight it." The girl raised her slender jade-like hand, pointing directly at the majestic tiger.

A black line appeared on Chen Yi's face. "Are you kidding me? That could be fatal."

The girl lifted her chin playfully. "I'm looking for a driver who can protect me when danger arises. If you're afraid to even fight a tiger, how can I trust you to take a bullet for me?"

"This girl must be suffering from chuunibyou," Chen Yi thought, his expression peculiar. It was already the modern era, so why was she talking about taking bullets? This was Shanghai, not some place where you could roam around with guns or knives without ending up in jail.

Who does she think she is, a Mary Sue protagonist, constantly targeted by all kinds of villains? Seeing Chen Yi remain silent, the girl impatiently stomped her foot and said, "Do you dare to fight or not? If you don't, get out of here!"

"First, let me make sure. Is the job posting from the advertiser genuine?"

"Of course, it's genuine. As long as you pass the interview, you'll get a monthly salary of 50,000 yuan, and all you need to do is pick me up from school and drop me off."

Chen Yi nodded and asked again, "So, if I fight it, the job is mine?"

The girl was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "You really dare to fight it?"

Chen Yi smiled slightly and remained silent. Instead, he began to perform a mysterious long-lost martial arts movements right there on the spot.

Although the idea of engaging in hand-to-hand combat with a tiger in the modern world seemed absurd, this technique was surprisingly made for it. During his training in the mastery of so many forms of martial arts, he happened to have an experience of facing off against a wild Northeast tiger, which was exceptionally fierce.

As the girl watched Chen Yi demonstrate the mysterious long-lost martial arts movements, her eyes were gradually captivated.

"He's so handsome!" She never expected this guy, who looked so ordinary, to be so cool when practicing martial arts!

In her mind, an image appeared—a group of bullies surrounding her, and a figure descending from the sky, defeating the enemies with three punches and two kicks. Then, he would look at her with a doting smile and ask, "Are you okay?"

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but reveal an infatuated smile. Chen Yi, lost in his memories of tiger fighting, didn't notice this scene. Otherwise, he would have thought the girl was a bit off in the head.

Chen Yi stopped warming up and took a deep breath, striding toward the tiger.

"Roar!"

Sensing that Chen Yi was not to be trifled with, the big cat, which was basking in the sun, let out a warning growl.

The sound was like an engine roaring, perfectly matching its imposing size.

However, Chen Yi remained unfazed, standing about five meters away from the tiger. With one hand behind his back, he assumed a stance, and then he beckoned at it with his finger.

"So cool, so cool!"

Even before the fight began, the girl was already starry-eyed, captivated by Chen Yi's dashing pose.

It was as if a martial arts master had stepped out of the screen of a movie.

Chen Yi wasn't intentionally trying to show off. His stance was mainly to test the tiger, to see if it would take the bait.

If the opponent's strength was too formidable, he could always retreat and dodge.

If not, he could strike back and give it a hefty blow.

The idea was good, but unfortunately, the tiger was not cooperating at all.

In the face of Chen Yi's provocation, it simply turned its head to the side, completely ignoring him.

"This..."

Chen Yi looked at the girl awkwardly and asked, "What's going on with it?"

The girl wiped the corner of her mouth and huffed arrogantly, "Are you an idiot? How could I actually let you fight a tiger? What if you got eaten? I'd end up in jail."

She had a point.

Chen Yi sighed, "So, does that mean I passed?"

"Hmph, barely. From now on, you better protect me well. If I'm surrounded by enemies, you better not abandon me."

After speaking, the girl skipped over in her crystal-coloured slippers, circling around Chen Yi like she was observing a panda. "Are you really not afraid? You know, this is a tiger. It could bite your head off in one bite and tear your stomach in half with a swipe of its paw..."

Watching the girl's head bobbing back and forth in front of him, Chen Yi couldn't help but reach out and ruffle her hair. "Just a mere beast, nothing to be afraid of."

But as soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yi suddenly pushed the girl away.

Immediately, a loud roar accompanied by a howling wind echoed through the air.

It was the tiger!

Chen Yi didn't expect it to suddenly attack. Instinctively, he used gentle force to push the girl away, then swiftly twisted his waist, allowing the tiger's wide mouth to pass by. His right hand swiftly blocked a claw with precision. At the same time, his left hand supported the tiger's belly, and with a fierce push from his shoulder, he unleashed the accumulated strength from several moves in that instant. The pouncing tiger, as if it were a puppet, was flung three meters away by Chen Yi.

However, being called the king of beasts in China, the tiger was not that easy to deal with. Its innate powerful balance and coordination allowed it to effortlessly adjust its posture in mid-air and land steadily on the ground. Perhaps sensing that Chen Yi was not someone to be messed with, the big cat didn't launch another attack but instead stood there, motionless. A standoff between man and tiger ensued.

It was at this moment that Chen Yi noticed the tiger's teeth and, on the other side, the girl, who felt as if she were being held up by a cloud, lightly floated four to five meters away. After landing, she took a few steps back and regained her balance, completely unharmed.

Just as she raised her head, she saw Chen Yi flinging the tiger away in a powerful and handsome posture. Her pretty eyes widened instantly, and she stood there stunned for a while before realizing what had happened. She quickly spoke up, "Hua Hua, don't be angry. He wasn't insulting you!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi found it amusing.

'She is quite interesting to actually reason with animals', he thought.

But what he didn't expect was that upon hearing these words, the tiger actually turned its eyes, as if it was truly contemplating something. After a few seconds, it relaxed its tensed body and settled down, lying on the ground in its previous position.

"Oh my goodness, this tiger has become sentient!"

Chen Yi was dumbfounded.
