179: Interview Broker Assistant

Chen Xiangbei gently placed the herbs into the clay pot, and Li Yueling silently handed him a spoon. The two worked together seamlessly.

The fire on the stove slowly rose, the warm flames licking the bottom of the pot, and the herbs in the pot gradually began to bubble.

Chen Xiangbei focused intently on the clay pot, stirring gently from time to time to ensure every piece of herb was heated evenly. Li Yueling watched quietly from the side, occasionally handing him some necessities.

Time flowed in their silence, and the kitchen was filled with the strong aroma of herbs.

In this small kitchen, Chen Xiangbei and Li Yueling together guarded this hope for health.

Decoction takes a long time, and before they knew it, it was already 12 o'clock.

The sound of the System settlement interrupted the focused Chen Xiangbei. Looking at the medicinal soup simmering over a low heat, he saw it would still take some time, so he checked the settlement details.

[Ding, System settlement begins: Host's income today +¥317,450, average hourly wage ¥63,490, System reward amount ¥10,158,400, Physique +0.08, Intelligence +0.05, Settlement Points +2800. Keep up the good work!]

Looking at the 2800 Settlement Points from the settlement, it was just enough to exchange for the Advanced Financial Skill.

However, he planned to exchange it after he got back, otherwise he might get distracted during the integration process, and he was currently decocting medicine, which wasn't suitable.

After about another half hour, the remaining medicine was finally finished decocting. Chen Xiangbei let it cool down, then put it into traditional Chinese medicine bags one by one, and then put them in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.

Then he instructed Li Yueling, "Yueling, drink one bag after meals in the morning, noon, and evening. Drink it for seven days first and see how it goes.

Also, every night you must report Auntie's condition for the day to me. Contact me anytime if there are any problems, okay?"

Li Yueling listened carefully and replied, "Okay, I'veremember! I won't say thank you. How about I treat you to a meal another day?"

"That's right! I want to eat the meal you cook yourself. It's been a long time since I last had it!" Chen Xiangbei said with some nostalgia.

"Alright, alright, but let's agree first, the food I make is not even one-tenth as delicious as yours. You can't dislike it!"

"That's definitely not possible," Chen Xiangbei said confidently.

"I'll head back now. Remember to contact me promptly if anything comes up."

"Okay, I'll see you out."

Li Yueling quietly followed his steps and walked with him into the underground parking garage.

The light here was dim, and the air was filled with a faint smell of car exhaust, but this did not affect the determination and persistence deep within her heart.

As Chen Xiangbei sat in the driver's seat, preparing to start the car, Li Yueling stood beside the car, silently watching him.

A complex emotion flickered in her eyes, containing reluctance, worry, and a hint of unspeakable attachment.

As the engine sound started, the car slowly pulled out of the parking spot and drove towards the exit.

Li Yueling's gaze constantly followed the gradually receding car, as if she wanted to forever engrave this moment in her heart.

However, the car finally disappeared from sight, leaving behind only silence and an empty parking garage.

But Li Yueling still did not immediately turn and leave. Instead, she stood quietly in place, her thoughts surging like a tide.

She recalled the bits and pieces of time spent with Chen Xiangbei, those warm moments in the kitchen flashing continuously in her mind like movie scenes.

And at this moment, he was getting farther and farther away from her, a feeling she couldn't quite express.

By the time Chen Xiangbei returned home, it was already 1 AM. After taking a shower, he went back to the sofa and fell asleep.

Tonight's dream was a bit magical. The beast-eared girl still didn't appear, and neither did the castle. Instead, he appeared in a medicinal garden.

When he looked at this medicinal garden, he found that Li Yueling was actually here...

The next morning at 6 AM, Chen Xiangbei woke up on the sofa on time.

He slept very soundly last night, but the content of the dream was full of mist, and he couldn't recall it for a while. He only remembered Li Yueling walking towards him, her steps graceful and firm, and then he woke up!

Chen Xiangbei stretched, then got up and walked towards the bathroom. He turned on the faucet and washed his face with cool water to wake himself up.

After washing up, he went to the fish tank, skillfully picked up the fish food, and gently sprinkled it into the water. The fish swam over happily, vying for the food.

After feeding the fish, Chen Xiangbei returned to the bedroom, chose a clean set of clothes, put them on, and adjusted his appearance in the mirror.

He checked his belongings one last time, then opened the door and walked out energetically into the morning sun.

Today he had scheduled a meeting with those applicants. They should have arrived in Linhai City last night, as he had arranged to meet in the morning.

This was also a test of whether they had the habit of waking up early, because working in this line requires a very strong sense of time, and those who like to sleep in are not needed.

When he arrived at the agreed-upon tea restaurant, it was exactly 8 o'clock. The reason Chen Xiangbei arrived right on time was to see if anyone was late.

When he pushed open the private room door, he found that only 4 people were sitting inside, and one person was missing.

Seeing Chen Xiangbei enter, the four quickly stood up and greeted him, "Good morning, Mr. Chen!"

Chen Xiangbei smiled and nodded to everyone, then made a gesture inviting them to sit down, saying softly:

"Let's order first. One friend hasn't arrived yet, probably stuck in traffic. The traffic situation in Linhai City has always been like this."

Being their first meeting, there was inevitably some awkwardness and restraint among everyone, their words and actions revealing politeness and formality. After exchanging pleasantries, everyone unanimously nominated Chen Xiangbei to be in charge of ordering.

Chen Xiangbei was quite straightforward. Without declining, he picked up the menu and ordered more than a dozen dishes in one go, specifically ordering double portions for some.

After the dishes were ordered, the private room door was gently pushed open again. A young woman slowly walked into the room.

Her eyes were slightly sleepy, looking like she had just woken up, clearly not yet completely free from the trouble of sleepiness.

As she walked into the private room, she said apologetically to everyone, "I'm really sorry for keeping you all waiting. The road was too blocked, so I was a bit late."

Chen Xiangbei motioned for her to sit down, then said to everyone, "Please introduce yourselves first, mainly focusing on your work experience. Let's start with you."

Chen Xiangbei pointed to the only male present and asked him to start.

The male who was called upon showed no stage fright and calmly recounted his personal information and work experience.

My name is Yu Jin, I am 32 years old this year, and I have been working as an agent for 8 years...

My name is Li Muyu, I am 30 years old this year, and I have been working as an agent for 8 years with rich work experience...

My name is Zhou Yiran, I am 28 years old this year, and I have been working as an artist assistant for 5 years...
