C1 A Huge Fight!

Taking the temporary pass from the receptionist with a sweet smile, Xiaoyu thanked her warmly. This was Xiaoyu's third interview at Shen's Group. As a Yale School of Management graduate with a master's in business administration, she felt that applying for a deputy manager position in a small department should be a breeze.

Just like the previous times, she turned right at the reception to the elevator. However, this time it was the final interview, and she needed to reach the 33rd floor. The opulent decor mirrored Shen's Group's bold style in the business world. The only sound on the entire floor was the click of high heels on marble.

Huh? Where is everyone?

Following her principle of being cautious and courteous, Xiaoyu sat in the waiting area with a smile, even though the assistant's office area was empty.

"...swept off her feet..."

"Get out!"

"...don't be like that..."

Huh?

Snippets of conversation drifted from the closed office door, and for a moment, Xiaoyu thought she was hearing things. If not for the flirtatious female voice and the consistently indifferent male voice, Xiaoyu might have suspected the missing female assistant and a company executive were engaged in something indescribable behind those doors.

A light bulb went off in her head as she recalled her friend Chiang Tang's advice before she returned home.

"...I've heard that interviews here can have some baffling scenarios. Like, you might walk into the office and find a broom that fell behind the door. Should you pick it up? How do you greet the interviewer before you do? And where do you put it afterward? These are all supposedly tests of character..."

Could this be the test for her third interview?

Xiaoyu felt she had grasped the key point, and a strange excitement bubbled up inside her. No wonder the previous interviews were just standard Q&A and crisis management within the job scope. Was she about to face one of those quirky interview challenges now?

It seems the assistant left on purpose to see how she'd handle the interview, right? So, what should she do now?

As Su Xiaoyu stood there, excitement written all over her face, contemplating how to handle the unexpected situation, a rather bold scene was unfolding in the office. A woman was making a move on a man.

With a cold gaze, Shen Juchuan glanced at the impressive figure pressed against his arm and fought the urge to throw her out. He barked once more, "Leave!"

"But I don't want to~" came the sultry reply from her perfectly painted lips, her ample chest advancing in waves.

She had worked hard to get in here, using her father's delivery of samples to Shen's Group as an excuse, and had spent considerable effort to send the assistant away. How could she give up now?

Shen Juchuan, the eldest grandson of the multi-billion dollar Shen's Group, was a true heir to a business empire. It wasn't just the allure of the Shen's Group or money that made her lower her pride. From the first moment she saw Shen Juchuan, she was captivated by his lazy yet charmingly cold demeanor.

Her slender, snake-like arms wrapped around Shen Juchuan's shoulders, and her tight dress, originally ending at her hips, inched upward with her movements, almost revealing more than intended.

Shen Juchuan frowned deeply. If this were a late-night bar and the woman before him was just an entertainer, he might not mind the attention. But her father was a well-known "traditionalist" in the business world.

If he got involved with the "traditionalist's" daughter, it would surely lead to trouble in the future!

As Shen Juchuan pondered how to handle this unexpected entanglement, the office door suddenly knocked.

Hearing the abrupt silence inside, Su Xiaoyu took a deep breath, straightened her back, and confidently pushed the door open.

Behind the office desk, a strikingly attractive woman was attempting to press her impressive assets against a high-ranking executive of the Shen Group. From Su Xiaoyu's angle, the enticing curve of her cleavage was clearly visible through her low-cut top. However, the executive from the Shen Group maintained a cool and distant demeanor, clearly uninterested in any romantic entanglement.

It was time for Su Xiaoyu to make her move. She boldly strode over to the executive, confidently hooked her arm through his, and loudly declared her claim, "This is my boyfriend. Who do you think you are trying to make a move on him? Get lost!"

The anger that had been simmering in Shen Juchuan's eyes vanished completely with Su Xiaoyu's sudden appearance. The usually well-guarded executive office of the Shen Group had first inexplicably welcomed a woman throwing herself at him, and now another woman had barged in, claiming to be his girlfriend. Was it April Fool's Day?

Was this about to turn into a dramatic showdown between the girlfriend and the other woman? Shen Juchuan crossed his arms, watching the scene unfold with amusement. This was far more entertaining than going through those unimportant documents.

The woman who had been trying to seduce Shen Juchuan looked visibly displeased at the turn of events.
