"I have a wife, but no girlfriend," Ning Xingchen said honestly, a playful smile tugging at his lips. This pretty young lady was simply too attractive, stunningly beautiful.
"A wife and a girlfriend are different things," Chu Yinuo chuckled lightly, thinking Ning Xingchen was joking.
"Indeed, they're different. A wife is for doing laundry, cooking, and having children at home. A girlfriend, on the other hand, is to be spoiled," Ning Xingchen smiled and said slowly.
Chu Yinuo was neither surprised nor confused by his words. Perhaps it was because, in her environment, it was quite normal for a man to have many women.
"Mr. Ning, I'm currently only looking for a job, with no other intentions," Chu Yinuo was straightforward and disliked beating around the bush.
"Miss Chu, our company does indeed lack a capable marketing director. What are your thoughts?" Ning Xingchen was well aware that Chu Yinuo was no ordinary woman; taming her would take some effort.
"If it's a director position, then forget it," Chu Yinuo shook her head, seemingly dissatisfied with the position.
"Why?" Ning Xingchen looked at Chu Yinuo, puzzled.
"Because I want to be the president of your company!" Chu Yinuo said bluntly, her beautiful eyes sparkling brightly.
"Hahaha, I like ambitious women!" Ning Xingchen chuckled, surprised that Chu Yinuo had her sights set on Liu Mingyan's position.
"Mr. Ning, this is not ambition. I believe I can do the job!" Chu Yinuo said each word with confidence, her pretty face exuding strong self-assurance.
"Is that so? Since you have the ability, you need to prove it to me; otherwise, it's just empty talk!" Ning Xingchen said nothing further, rotating the glass turntable on the dining table to bring the only bottle of white liquor in front of him, then poured a glass.
"I believe I can do it!" Chu Yinuo had already investigated that Xingyao Group indeed had a president, who was also a stunning beauty.
Ning Xingchen picked up the glass of white liquor, got up, and approached Chu Yinuo, asking, "Miss Chu, do you drink?"
"I'm allergic to alcohol and never touch it," Chu Yinuo replied.
"But I insist that you drink," Ning Xingchen smiled. Being so close to Chu Yinuo, he could instantly catch the faint fragrance from her, which was extremely pleasant.
"Mr. Ning, I'm sorry, but I really don't drink," Chu Yinuo frowned slightly, showing clear reluctance.
"Oh, Miss Chu, I think the position of president is not suitable for you!" Ning Xingchen said as he placed the glass back on the table.
"Sorry, but I don't like drinking," Chu Yinuo's voice was soft, seemingly a bit aggrieved.
"It's not about the alcohol. There are two reasons: first, as a leader of a company, you need to be willing to break through conventional thinking and try things you are afraid of. Second, if I ask you to drink, you must do it even if you don't want to, because I'm your boss, and obeying the boss is the duty of an excellent subordinate!"
With a wickedly handsome smile, Ning Xingchen explained his two reasons clearly.
After Ning Xingchen finished speaking, Chu Yinuo hesitated for three seconds, then downed the drink despite the burning sensation in her throat.
"Miss Chu, very straightforward. I think I need to reevaluate you. Quickly, eat some food to relieve the taste!" Ning Xingchen had a satisfied look on his face. Forcing a top-tier beauty to do something she didn't want to was the first step in taming her and making her utterly devoted to him.
After drinking, the alcohol's sting nearly brought tears to Chu Yinuo's eyes, and she quickly took a bite of food.
...
"Mr. Ning, can I be the president of your company now?" Chu Yinuo asked.
"No, this is our first meeting, and I don't truly trust you yet," Ning Xingchen replied coolly.
"Mr. Ning, don't think I'm begging you. Many companies are vying for me. If the conditions are too harsh, I'd rather choose another company," Chu Yinuo said with some displeasure, though she maintained a polite smile.
"Miss Chu, can you find another company boss as handsome as I am? If you can, I lose!" Ning Xingchen joked.
"Mr. Ning, let me reiterate, I'm looking for a job, not a boyfriend, and certainly not a date!" Chu Yinuo's face reddened slightly as she raised her voice.
"I understand, but working with a handsome boss can improve your mood, right?" Ning Xingchen smiled.
"Mr. Ning, if you keep this up, I'll leave," Chu Yinuo pretended to grab her bag.
"If you leave, you'll miss the chance to manage a world-class enterprise!" Ning Xingchen sipped his drink calmly. He didn't believe Chu Yinuo would leave; her initiative in inviting him showed she had long decided to join Xingyao Group.
"Are you agreeing to let me be the president?" Chu Yinuo blinked at Ning Xingchen.
Ning Xingchen smiled, liking this woman more and more. Not only was she beautiful, but also extremely smart, constantly setting traps for him.
"No, you'll start as a vice president in charge of marketing. But I'll give you a special status as the company's co-founder!" Ning Xingchen maintained his bottom line, not swayed by Chu Yinuo's beauty.
Chu Yinuo hesitated and then asked, "Can I report only to you in the future?"
Ning Xingchen, still smiling, replied softly, "Of course, you only need to listen to me because you belong to me alone!"
"Don't say such cheesy things," Chu Yinuo playfully scolded, feeling she had been teased again.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the private room was quite intimate.
"Miss Chu, you will be grateful for your wise decision today. At least after joining Xingyao, I'll represent the company in gifting you a Maserati, a luxury house, and a million-dollar annual salary. If you want an advance payment, that's also possible," Ning Xingchen said generously.
"Actually, I don't care much about material things. What I need is a platform to showcase my abilities and gain a sense of achievement. Besides, for just a vice president, a million-dollar salary is too much, like being kept by you!" Chu Yinuo spoke her mind.
"Hahaha, if it were about keeping you, with your beauty and grace, I'd offer a billion!" Ning Xingchen chuckled.
"Don't be silly, be serious!" Chu Yinuo shyly rebuked.
"Miss Chu, but seriously, the company you currently work for is a Fortune 500 company. Can you give a reason for 'defecting' to us? Or is it simply because you find me more handsome and are determined to join our company?" Ning Xingchen teased.
