Don't Come Bother This Girl

"Wife, I've been short on cash recently. Could you, uh, give me a little something extra for spending?" Inside a luxurious garden villa in the suburbs, a young man sat on a high-end leather sofa, winking and pleading.

"Shen Lang, I hope you can pay attention to your image. You're truly disgusting right now!" Su Ruoxue gritted her teeth, her eyebrows tightly knitted together.

"I just returned to China not long ago and didn't bring much money with me," Shen Lang said, sounding a bit unsure. He had never asked a woman for money before.

Shen Lang had always been indifferent to money, but now in the big city, he found it difficult to get by without it.

The woman in front of him was his temporary 'fiancée,' a cold and aloof beauty who had quite an impressive background.

Her name was Su Ruoxue, CEO of a renowned fashion company and known as the most beautiful woman in Huahai City's business circles. She was probably in her early twenties, dressed in a light blue dress that showcased her stunning figure, with long, silky black hair cascading over her shoulders, exuding an air of icy elegance.

Apart from her demeanor, her appearance was flawless, her delicate features exuding a natural and unparalleled beauty.

"At home, you live off me and eat my food, and now you want money from me?" 

Su Ruoxue, naturally arrogant and cold, couldn't tolerate this incompetent guy.

She couldn't understand why her grandfather had forced her into an engagement with such a man.

Due to certain pressures, Su Ruoxue reluctantly agreed to cohabit with Shen Lang for a year as his 'fiancée' in name only.

Before meeting Shen Lang, Su Ruoxue had imagined that with her abilities, she could transform even a lump of mud into a splendid gentleman.

But after three days of living together, Su Ruoxue gave up on her naive idea.

This man was no different from a street ruffian and was far from deserving of her.

"Wife, don't be so heartless. You're the CEO of a big company; money is just a number to you," Shen Lang chuckled.

Su Ruoxue's eyes showed deep disdain as she replied coldly, "Shen Lang, I won't just give you money for nothing. You have hands and feet; go find a job yourself! I'm going to work now; don't bother me!"

With that, Su Ruoxue left the villa without looking back, her beautiful face unusually cold.

Her man had to be talented and handsome, absolutely not like this useless guy!

Shen Lang's expression darkened. Being looked down upon by a woman was unbearable for any man.

"Isn't it just finding a job? It's not like I can't find one," Shen Lang muttered to himself as he got up from the sofa.

Having spent most of his life detached from normal life, he wasn't sure where to even begin looking for a job.

The quickest way to earn money was through theft, something Shen Lang was capable of. But there were certain things he refused to do.

Anyway, he'd figure things out as he went along.

Leaving the villa compound, Shen Lang aimlessly wandered the streets of Huahai City.

Despite it only being June, Huahai City was already sweltering. The heat waves distorted the ground, confirming the high temperatures.

"On such a scorching day, where can I find a job?" Shen Lang pondered as he walked. Along the way, he saw many job advertisements, but most were for restaurants, hotels, or KTVs, places he wouldn't consider.

He needed a job that matched his dignity. If the cold and arrogant lady at home found out he had taken a menial job, she would probably look down on him even more.

Feeling increasingly frustrated, Shen Lang walked until around ten in the morning when he unconsciously arrived at the bustling commercial district in the city center.

By chance, Shen Lang saw a notice on a corporate building for a job fair and was intrigued.

"Lingya International Fashion Group is now hiring high-paying employees for various positions. Welcome to participate in this recruitment event..."

"Lingya International Fashion Group? Isn't that the company of the Ice Queen?" Shen Lang became interested.

Although he didn't know much about the Ice Queen, he knew she was the CEO of Lingya International Fashion Group.

Originally, Shen Lang was a bit reluctant to work under such a woman, but this job seemed suitable for him.

In any case, he needed to find a job first. Shen Lang couldn't stand being looked down upon by the ice-cold lady at home any longer.

Shen Lang adjusted his floral shirt collar slightly and entered the company building.

On the second floor where the job fair was held, Shen Lang saw many young applicants dressed in suits and ties, looking well-prepared. In contrast, Shen Lang's casual attire made him stand out.

"Sir, are you here for the job interview?" A receptionist girl approached him with a sweet voice and a cute appearance.

Shen Lang nodded and smiled, "Yes. Miss, could you please tell me which department offers the highest salary?"

The girl was momentarily surprised, then chuckled, "You're quite funny, handsome. Why don't you ask which department has the most beautiful women?"

Shen Lang scratched his head, "Miss, let's focus on business. I'm serious."

After sizing Shen Lang up, the girl could tell despite his casual and slightly flirtatious attire, his clothes were expensive, and his demeanor and manners indicated he had been influenced by upper-class society.

She threw him a flirtatious glance and teased, "The highest salary would definitely be in our Public Relations department. We're actually in need of a manager right now. Why don't you give it a try, handsome?"

"Alright, thank you very much," Shen Lang felt a surge of joy.

Manager of the Public Relations department sounded impressive.

Soon, Shen Lang joined the queue to collect application forms and filled out his details.

The job required strong language and communication skills in English, Italian, and French. Interestingly, there was no mention of educational qualifications. Lingya International's recruitment emphasized capability over credentials, with stringent assessments, especially for someone fluent in three languages.

Outside the interview hall for the Public Relations manager position, Shen Lang saw a long line of applicants. At least thirty to forty people were ahead of him.

There were well-groomed scholars who seemed to have studied abroad, middle-aged men with a calm demeanor and seasoned experience, and some looking slightly sleazy, hoping for a stroke of luck.

"Damn, so many people applying for the Public Relations manager position. I have a lot of competitors," Shen Lang muttered to himself, observing the lengthy queue.

Coincidentally, two sleazy-looking guys in front of him were quietly conversing. One chubby man whispered, "Hey, did you hear? They say Lingya International's Public Relations department is all women, and they're the most attractive beauties in Huahai City's business world!"

"Hehe, of course I heard. Especially that Lin Caier from the PR department, she's unbelievably stunning. If I get hired, I'll definitely try to win her over," another young man with disheveled hair and glasses said earnestly.

Shen Lang couldn't help but feel speechless. It seemed like many of these applicants had motives that weren't exactly pure.
