The more Ye Xunhuan looked at Tang Yurou, the prettier he found her, especially that fragile aura about her which inevitably stirred in men the impulse to protect her.
But then again, if she weren't pretty, how could she have become the "civilian goddess" within the Huangtu Group?
With Ye Xunhuan unabashedly staring at her, a blush slowly blossomed on Tang Yurou's charming face, making her look even more alluring.
Seeing Ye Xunhuan gazing at Tang Yurou so openly, everyone else wished they could teach Ye Xunhuan a good lesson then and there.
If looks could kill, Ye Xunhuan wouldn't know how many times he had died by now.
Watching Ye Xunhuan's unwavering gaze on Tang Yurou, Lao Li coughed gently, "Ye Xunhuan, from now on you'll be working with Xiao Tang!"
Snapped back to reality by Lao Li's words, Ye Xunhuan turned to Tang Yurou with a polite and gentlemanly smile, extending his hand, "Then I'll be in your care from now on!"
Seeing this, Tang Yurou returned a sweet smile and symbolically shook hands with Ye Xunhuan before quickly drawing back her hand.
Ye Xunhuan smiled again, and truly, the girl looked even more beautiful when she smiled, and her hand—so smooth, just like the fine silk of Suzhou-Hangzhou!
Lao Li nodded and said, "Xiao Tang, explain our group's rules to him, as well as the things he needs to pay attention to here!"
"I got it, Director Li!" Tang Yurou replied with a sweet voice.
Then, without lingering, Lao Li left the place.
No sooner had Lao Li left than Ye Xunhuan began eying Tang Yurou again, scrutinizing her from head to toe without pause.
This made Tang Yurou appear distinctly shy.
At that moment, Tang Yurou's shy demeanor was like that of a young girl fresh out of school, highly enticing.
"What... what are you looking at?"
Despite being used to many people gazing at her every day, none had been like Ye Xunhuan, who now started to openly stare at her chest.
Ye Xunhuan chuckled, "Nothing... It's just that you're so beautiful, I've never seen a girl as pretty as you. I got carried away, you understand, right?"
No woman dislikes being told she's beautiful, so upon hearing Ye Xunhuan's words, Tang Yurou immediately displayed a radiant, floral smile. She had never met such an interesting man before.
If it had been any other man looking at her like that, and she had asked him the same question, he would definitely have used all his vocabulary to disguise his intentions, yet Ye Xunhuan spoke plainly, without concealing his thoughts at all.
Tang Yurou was a rather introverted girl. If it had been the bold and open type, they might've replied with a "Really?"
But Tang Yurou didn't. Instead, she began to tell Ye Xunhuan about the rules at Huangtu Group, the categorization of goods, and the segregation required for courier deliveries.
"Must it be so complicated, beautiful master?" Ye Xunhuan groaned. "It's just courier work. As long as everything's neatly arranged, isn't that enough? Why such detailed segregation?"
Startled by Ye Xunhuan calling her "beautiful master," Tang Yurou flushed and responded, "Just call me Yu Rou, that's how everyone addresses me here!"
"Is that really okay?"
"No problem!" Tang Yurou, seemingly ever ready to smile, beamed with a refreshing cheerfulness. "You can't just place things randomly!"
"There are many valuable items and luxury goods here; we must handle them gently," Tang Yurou explained earnestly to Ye Xunhuan. "Also, we have to carefully sort the regions for courier dispatch. Our group values efficiency; if we just arranged stuff haphazardly, it would cause our courier colleagues to make unnecessary trips. By sorting it properly, they'd save a lot of time, increase work efficiency, and the customers, getting their items promptly, would be very happy..."
Ye Xunhuan originally thought that a simple courier delivery could be dispatched casually, but he hadn't expected there to be so many intricacies involved.
Little did Ye Xunhuan know that the guiding principle of the Hwangtu Group was to serve their customers, who were everything to them.
Especially for those women who purchased luxury goods on the Hwangtu e-commerce website, they could enjoy top-notch in-store service without ever leaving home.
It was for this reason that the Hwangtu Group's e-commerce business continued to grow and received high praise.
While Tang Yurou was earnestly explaining all this to Ye Xunhuan, a woman in a business suit approached Tang Yurou.
The woman had a very ordinary appearance, but her figure was quite tall and slim, and she carried a hint of seductive charm.
After arriving at Tang Yurou's side, the woman looked down at Tang Yurou and said, "Little Tang, Manager Kang from HR called for you to stop by, he has something to discuss with you!"
Tang Yurou was taken aback upon hearing the woman's words, a look of disgust and a trace of fear slowly appearing on her face as she timidly said, "Okay, Sister Xu, I got it!"
"Little Tang, you'd better hurry over," Sister Xu said with a smile, "Don't keep Manager Kang calling us to urge you on, it doesn't look good, you know?"
"I got it!"
"Hmm, that's good," Sister Xu nodded in satisfaction, "Little Tang, I have high hopes for you. Get along well, and perhaps one day you won't have to work here anymore, and you'll owe me a favor in the future."
Obviously, Sister Xu's words were laden with implications!
Tang Yurou kept her head down and said nothing, but her pearly white teeth were clenched tightly together.
Afterward, Sister Xu didn't say anything more and directly turned to leave, but the moment she turned around, she muttered under her breath, "What's the use of being pretty, suffering with a good figure; still ending up being preyed on!"
Although she said this, her voice was filled with deep envy.
Clearly, she too wished to be in that position, only she wasn't as attractive.
Others, seeing Sister Xu walk away, especially the male colleagues, couldn't help but sigh, while the female colleagues displayed both envy and pity for Tang Yurou.
Nothing good ever happened when this woman came around, at least not for Tang Yurou.
No one knew whose attention had been caught by Tang Yurou this time!
They wanted to stand up for Tang Yurou, but they didn't dare, for they still needed to work, still needed to make money. Offending those people meant no longer being able to stay here.
That's reality, that's society, just as Sister Xu said, nowadays if you're not well-connected, being beautiful is also a crime, and below, they suffer!
Though Sister Xu's voice was low, it did not escape Ye Xunhuan's ears, prompting him to glance at Tang Yurou.
Seeing Tang Yurou's pitiable yet helpless appearance, Ye Xunhuan felt an intense urge to protect this girl who seemed delicate on the outside but was strong-willed, like a dog's tail flower wavering in the wind.
"Are you okay?"
"No... I'm fine," Tang Yurou said, her complexion somewhat dim, "I need to step out for a bit. You stay here and learn from them!"
"How about I go with you?" Ye Xunhuan offered, "After all, I just arrived and don't understand anything. If you leave, I have nothing to do anyway!"
