Chapter 4 Examination and Recruitment Principles (1)

  Fragments of memories flashed through his mind, and a lifeless female voice came from the other end of the phone: "Sorry, the number you dialed is temporarily unavailable, please try again later." Xu Wei had no choice but to decide to have lunch in the school cafeteria.

  Li Wei's return call didn't come until 9 o'clock at night, and Xu Wei, who had been waiting till he was drowsy, was startled awake by the ringing of the phone and instinctively pressed the answer button.

  "Lofty, I'm almost there, come pick me up at the North Gate!"

  Li's words carried a commanding tone. Xu Wei felt displeased and responded with a perfunctory tone to express his dissatisfaction: "Wait, I'll be right there."

  Xu Wei and Li Yan almost arrived at the North Gate at the same time. Xu Wei came running, while Li Yan arrived in a black Audi sedan, with a handsome man in his thirties opening the door for him. This man was as heat-resistant as a camel in the desert, wearing a tight-fitting suit that not even a mosquito could fly into, despite the sweltering weather. Xu Wei felt a sense of crisis wash over him, regretting that he had come in such haste, his hair uncombed, his beard untrimmed, and his slippers unchanged... At this moment, his opponent was making a grand entrance, and he couldn't help but feel like a vagrant by comparison.

  The handsome man returned to the car, still waving goodbye, and the Audi sedan sped away. Xu Wei was unwilling to show weakness, and with a sincere expression, he walked up to Li's side and asked with concern:

  "Tired? Let me carry you!"

  "Stop it, I can still walk." Li Yu stopped Xu Wei's foolish behavior and said, "You were very dissatisfied on the phone just now, how did you suddenly become so good to me?"

  "Being good to a girlfriend is the responsibility that heaven has bestowed upon us men." Xu Wei's expression was serious, his tone sincere and solemn, his face as thick-skinned as Ah Bian's, yet he still felt inferior.

  "Was it just now when you saw our Manager Chen that you felt a sense of crisis?"

  "How could it be? I absolutely believe in you and also believe in myself."

  "Haha, I just got off the car and saw that your eyes were burning with jealousy, but you won't admit it. Manager Chen is a good person, he often takes care of me in the company..." Li Ye intentionally dragged out the word "I", leaving room for endless imagination; thinking again, he was afraid that Xu Wei would be suffocated on the spot, so he quickly added an ending, "He just got married."

  Xu Wei was good at grasping the key points, and upon hearing the last four words, he let out a sigh of relief. He then thought about how his newlywed wife was busy to the point of exhaustion, and definitely didn't have time to keep an eye on her husband. This was precisely the perfect opportunity for men to go out and explore new targets. Although this line of thinking was close to reality, it was too sordid. Li Wei's heart was pure, and Xu Wei didn't want to corrupt him, so he simply nodded without speaking.

  "Hey, accompany me to have a midnight snack, I'm so hungry."

  "I'm stuffed! The food in the cafeteria tonight is incredibly delicious, I ate a lot... Haven't you eaten yet? But Dante's 'Divine Comedy' says that gluttons will be sent to the third layer of hell, where they'll suffer from being blown by wind and rain in the mud pit. Let's eat less, just in case!"

  "You'll just quote classics to scare me. Tonight's food didn't agree with my stomach, I forced myself to drink some wine with the guests, now my belly is empty, do you really want to starve me to death?"

  "Alright! Anyway, when your boss entertains clients and brings you along, it's clear that he's a master - my girlfriend is naturally beautiful, and wine is the perfect makeup for her; think about it, with a few cups of Huangtong wine, she instantly becomes radiant and charming, leaving everyone stunned and enchanted; every client who sees her will be captivated, and business deals will come easily."

  "But our guest is a woman."

  Xu Wei's grand words all fell flat, soft and without any impact. Li Wei took advantage of the situation to counterattack, saying seriously: "Our company is a multinational corporation, doing business relies on strength, drinking and socializing are just secondary, their role is like adding flowers to brocade, don't think wildly."

  Li's words were filled with confidence, and his tone was surprisingly similar to that of Xu Mu. Xu Wei was speechless, hating himself for being too weak. In a daze, he saw the girl in front of him transform into a formidable figure who pointed at mountains and rivers, while he himself was in the kitchen holding a spatula, meekly nodding along.
