Marvelous Ice Queen

Within the magnificent garden villa, adjacent to a bustling city, an intense dialogue is unfolding. Shen Lang, an exciting young man, is clad in an elegant suit, gracefully seated on a comfortable leather sofa. Accompanying him stands the alluring Su Ruoxue, his "fiancée". However, this seemingly cozy conversation is teeming with awkwardness and disappointment.

Shen Lang implores Su Ruoxue with humbleness, confessing that he finds himself out of pocket recently, asking if she would be willing to provide financial support. Hearing these words, Su Ruoxue's heart is rocked intensely. She cannot help but furrow her brow, her voice slightly trembling: "Shen Lang, you must remain vigilant, mindful of your own actions, because your current behavior is indeed unpalatable!"

In response to Su Ruoxue's scolding, Shen Lang appears helpless. Adjusting to life in this unfamiliar city, though possessing superior talent and keen insight, his lack of monetary backing feels like a mountain to climb. Confronted with this beauty who is not only his relation but also his present "fiancée", he is at a crossroads.

The role of Su Ruoxue is to be respected - she is a leader in a renowned fashion enterprise and arguably the first lady of business in Huahai City. At the age of around 22 to 24, she is adorned in a light blue dress, her exquisite figure as infatuating as a flame. Her long straight black hair gently cascading down her shoulders lends her a noble and aloof charm. In addition, her face is just as captivating, her features are exquisitely crafted, they seem to have been sculpted by nature, and she is simply breathtakingly beautiful. Confronted with such a beauty, Shen Lang experiences an overwhelming pressure.

Seeing Shen Lang in such a handicapped position, Su Ruoxue's heart swells with deep sorrow. She cannot comprehend why her grandfather would force her to enter into a marriage contract with such a man with his dying breath. Although they've already solidified the engagement, it was merely a reaction to satisfy her grandfather's wish and commit to sharing a year with this man. Su Ruoxue has always maintained a detached attitude towards her relationship with Shen Lang, although she outwardly acknowledges that she is the other party's fiancée, it is simply a verbal commitment to share a year with this man made to honor her grandfather.

Having an understanding on top of everything, Su Ruoxue continues to express her view after a moment of silence. With firm resolve, she declines providing Shen Lang with financial assistance and offers a word: "Shen Lang, since you're now part of this family, you have no more excuses to request additional funds from me. Additionally, I hope you can reflect carefully and consider getting a suitable job? Keep trying!" saying so, Su Ruoxue tearfully exits the room.

At the moment Su Ruoxue leaves, Shen Lang experiences a feeling of loss like never before, as if he lost his anchor. However, after a brief moment of reflection, he immediately decides to bounce back and strive relentlessly for his future. Although he has lived through numerous legendary days in the past, he believes that as long as he dares to act, he will always find his kingdom.

So, Shen Lang immediately gets up and begins to search for new job opportunities. He understands that the future is full of uncertainties but as long as he continues forward, constantly grows, he will eventually carve out his own sky. And these difficult times will become a priceless treasure in his life. In this era filled with challenges and opportunities, he will use his hard work and strength to prove that he can do anything, including improving himself and pursuing higher dreams.

Upon emerging from the stunning villa community, Shen Lang sauntered aimlessly along the bustling streets of Huahai City.

With just June upon us, Huahai City was already sweltering.

"In this blazing heat, where can I find a job? Surely not mopping floors?"

Shen Lang meditated as he strolled, casually noticing recruitment postings along the way, all begging for high-energy individuals - mostly catering restaurants, hotels or even ktv-themed venues.

He, however, wasn't attracted to these forms of work.

As he walked, inadvertently reaching downtown's prosperous commercial district at around ten in the morning, he came across a group building with posters advertising an employment fair.

Peering closer, Shen Lang was thrilled to see "Elegant International Fashion Group is currently on the hunt for top-tier employees, various positions are available. Welcome to participate in this significant recruitment fair".

"Elegant International Fashion Group, isn't that where the icy beauty works?" Shen Lang found himself intrigued by this.

He didn't know much about the icy beauty, but rumors whispered about her. Su Ruoxue is none other than the CEO of the Elegant International Fashion Group.

Initially, Shen Lang harbored some hesitation about working under the icy beauty, but this particular position appealed to him. 

Nonetheless, he had to secure a job first. His home was fast becoming unbearable due to the icy beauty's disapproving gaze. 

Shen Lang subtly refashioned his floral shirt's collar, and confidently entered the corporate building.

Upon reaching the recruitment fair on the second floor, Shen Lang spotted numerous young people applying, all in tailored suits with well-kempt ties. Shen Lang, on the contrary, stood out in his floral shirt.

"Dear sir, are you here to apply?" A front desk receptionist, exuding a sweet voice and ceasing appearance, approached to inquire.

Shen Lang nodded, grinning: "Yes. Excuse me, Miss, which department has the highest salary?"

The beautiful lady paused, then laughed: "You're so amusing, why don't you ask which department has more female talent?"

Shen Lang scratched his head: "Miss, we're getting off track here. I'm being honest."

The lady took a moment to scrutinize Shen Lang. Shen Lang's attire certainly wasn't conventional but it was obvious this young lady could sense the quality of his attire.

Perhaps it was a wealthy bachelor aiming to attract female employees at the company, the girl humorously guessed: "The highest salary would be in our public relations department. We are desperately seeking a manager now, sir. Why don't you go give it a shot?"

"Certainly! Certainly! Thanks for the advice, miss!" Shen Lang was incredibly delighted. Public relations Manager, it seemed like a very formidable task. 

Moments later, Shen Lang started lining up to collect the data form and filled in his personal information.

The requirements for the public relations manager emphasized strong language communication skills, proficient in English, Italian, and French.

There was no mention of academic qualifications. The Elegant International Employment Fair prioritized actual competencies over academic credentials, the recruitment process was rigorous, and those who could master three languages naturally possessed higher academic qualifications.

"Bro, you here to apply for PR?", a fat guy suddenly elbowed Shen Lang. 

"Yeah, are you too?" Shen Lang turned back, kind of puzzled at the fat guy. 

This fatty was decked out in a goldlion's high-end suit, it was clear he was a rich second generation, but actually he also came to apply?

The fat guy threw a scornful glance at Shen Lang: "Dude, it's a no-brainer, don't play dumb. This Givenchy customized floral shirt on you, didn't cost tens of thousands to snag?"

Shen Lang froze, his clothes were chosen by his younger sister, though they caught some attention, average folks wouldn't notice, and unexpectedly the fat guy figured it out.

Shen Lang coughed, dead serious: "Sis, I'm here to apply, not to just chasing women."

"Bro, you're sneaky! The Lanyu International PR department is packed with ladies, top-tier beauties in the Huahai City business world, what else would you apply for PR besides chasing girls?", the fat guy rolled his eyes.

"Whaaaat! All ladies?!"

Shen Lang was lost, so that precious miss from before was playing tricks on him?

But looking at the recruitment information, the PR department really did need a manager.

"Dude, seeing as you're hotter than me and have more money. Let me put it out there, I have my eye on PR department's Lin Caier, you don't try sneak past me." The fat guy didn't forget to whisper in Shen Lang's ear.

Shen Lang was filled with head-scratching, thinking that you city slickers sure know how to play, turning a recruitment fair into a girls' pick-up spot.
