487: You don't mind, do you?
She turned her head and looked in the direction of the voice.
Seven or eight meters away, two men were walking towards them, one in front of the other.
The one leading was a young man in a white T-shirt, about thirty years old, wearing a Rolex on his wrist that didn't quite match his attire.
Xu Lian stood still, his hands casually in his pockets.
The man smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to come pick me up early. You don't mind, do you?"
As the man in the white T-shirt spoke, he reached out to pat Xu Lian's shoulder.
Xu Lian raised an eyebrow and didn't move.
The man's hand, suspended in mid-air, paused, then awkwardly changed direction and scratched his head.
Then he smiled and turned to Lin Xiaoxiao, who was standing beside him: "Who is this young lady?"
It was as if he had only just noticed Lin Xiaoxiao's presence.
Seeing this scene, Lin Xiaoxiao's mind raced!
It was obvious that there was no harmonious relationship between this person and Xu Lian!
But this gentleman in the white T-shirt was acting very enthusiastic, clearly driven by self-interest.
And now he suddenly pointed the finger at her... As a newcomer to the workplace, what was the best way to handle such a sudden situation?
The other party stared at her intently, clearly trying to use her to open a conversation.
At a critical moment, she couldn't cause trouble for her superior! Lin Xiaoxiao quickly judged in her heart.
"President Xu, you remember the important meeting in twenty minutes, right? It might not be good if we're late." Lin Xiaoxiao looked down at her watch, pretending to remind him.
"Let's go now," Xu Lian said calmly.
While nodding in response, Lin Xiaoxiao effortlessly pulled their suitcases.
No matter what happened, maintaining the leader's image was the most important thing!
Seeing her reaction, Xu Lian didn't stop her.
But the man in white was persistent, again stepping forward quickly to block their path.
He looked as if he wouldn't let them leave today without getting a clear answer.
"President Xu, there's really no need for us to be so distant."
He shrugged his shoulders as he spoke, feigning helplessness.
He had already paid a considerable price to find out the itinerary, so how could he easily let Xu Lian leave?
Lin Xiaoxiao secretly glanced at Xu Lian from the side.
But she found that Xu Lian's expression was unchanged, and she couldn't discern his attitude at all.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have either lost their temper long ago or simply avoided the situation.
But what was Xu Lian thinking now?
Lin Xiaoxiao composed herself and took a step forward to speak.
"Excuse me, sir, if you don't back down, we'll have no choice but to call the police."
This tactic was most suitable for dealing with unreasonable people.
"You? Who are you? When I'm talking, is it your turn to interfere?" The white T-shirt man's face was full of disdain, and a cold glint appeared in his eyes.
Just a moment ago he had been smiling, but at this moment his face had completely changed!
Lin Xiaoxiao's heart trembled with fear, but she still maintained her composure on the surface.
"Then call the police! I'm also curious to see who will win then."
This white T-shirt man had completely transformed, his face full of thuggishness.
As the two sides reached a stalemate, Lin Xiaoxiao frowned deeply, already feeling a tightness in her chest from the suppressed emotions.
Just as she was about to dial the phone, Xu Lian finally spoke.
"Scram."
As the single word landed, the air suddenly grew cold.
The white T-shirt man's face instantly changed.
The pent-up grievances and anger in his heart almost exploded!
If his father hadn't forced him to apologize to Xu Lian, even threatening him with family shares, how could he himself humble himself to such a person!
He was one of the top ten richest men in F City!
He couldn't understand at all why this ridiculously young man in front of him was worth his father's humility!
In the eyes of the man in the white T-shirt, Xu Lian was just a minor character that could be crushed with a pinch.
The assistant in gray standing behind him, however, looked shocked and quickly tugged at his master's sleeve, signaling him to stop.
"Young Master Gong, don't be impulsive!"
The man in gray advised in a low voice.
The old master had sent him to help Gong Hongming complete the task; if Gong Hongming failed the task and messed things up instead, he himself would certainly not be able to escape responsibility.
Pulled by his assistant, the anger in Gong Hongming's heart cooled down slightly.
But even so, he couldn't return to his previous state.
Seeing the situation, the man in gray could only sigh and pull Gong Hongming away first.
Even if they couldn't resolve the matter well, they couldn't let the situation get worse.
Lin Xiaoxiao was unaware of the various entanglements, but after hearing Xu Lian say "scram," the person who had been blocking them actually left without a word.
Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Xu Lian with a somewhat complex expression.
If it were in C City, Lin Xiaoxiao even believed that Xu Lian had the ability to turn the tides.
But she also remembered that Aoyou Tianxia's business did not cover F City.
Xu Lian was like a bottomless abyss; the more you thought you understood him, the more he could always surprise you again.
Meanwhile, Aoyou Tianxia Company was organizing a large-scale recruitment!
From tens of thousands of applicants, they screened down to one hundred people for the final interview!
There were only ten spots!
The interviews were scheduled for today, and almost everyone who received a notification came.
Aoyou Tianxia Company's reception hall was spacious enough that even with a hundred people, it didn't feel crowded.
Among those present were top students from key universities, recent graduates from ordinary undergraduate programs, and even second-generation rich kids who had participated in the recruitment at Asia-Pacific Restaurant before.
The ratio of numbers was roughly 7:2:1.
The second-generation rich kids who received interview notifications were absolutely thrilled!
Around fifty or sixty people had applied at Asia-Pacific Restaurant back then, but only five or six actually received interview notifications.
This was truly one in a hundred!
It showed that Aoyou Tianxia had started to notice people like them!
Interview invitations from Aoyou Tianxia instantly flooded various social media platforms.
In the Aoyou Tianxia reception hall,
Over a hundred interviewees sat in the center of the hall according to their numbers. Although the chairs were cheap plastic, no one expressed any disdain.
Even the second-generation rich kids, who usually only sat in genuine leather executive chairs, were sitting there properly at this moment.
How could they not be serious?
To be able to come here for an interview was an honor!
No one took leave or was absent, and no one was a minute late.
Qin Feixu was quite satisfied with such a scene.
In fact, from the moment they walked into Aoyou Tianxia, she had been silently observing everyone's performance in the monitoring room.
At Aoyou Tianxia, ability was an important indicator, but personal character and habits were equally important.
The first type of person she wanted to filter out were two-faced individuals.
"This girl's interview qualification is canceled."
Qin Feixu said, pointing to a certain woman on the screen.
At this moment, the woman casually threw away a drink bottle, unaware that she had already been eliminated.
"And this man, he can't be kept either."
"This one who's been playing on his phone, he's out too."
"Also, this one and this one."
Qin Feixu pointed out several people; these were all candidates who had made actions that damaged their image or the company's image while waiting.
