In the elevator, only Wanjing and Lin Hai were left. Looking at Lin Hai's sharply defined features, Wanjing thought to herself that if his scruffy attire and stubble were removed, he would probably look like a handsome, mature man.
Both of them were in the enclosed elevator, and recalling the event from last night, a blush involuntarily appeared on Wanjing's pretty face, which looked irresistibly charming—a sight that Lin Hai noticed.
"Cough cough, by the way, Miss Su, who are you looking for here?" Lin Hai spoke, trying to break the awkward silence.
Wanjing, lost in the fantasies of last night, lowered her head, too shy to look at Lin Hai, and said, "I'm here to meet a close girlfriend."
"And you?" Wanjing asked curiously, observing that Lin Hai did not look like a wealthy person. Could it be that he was applying for a job? But it would be quite impolite to dress like this for a job interview.
"Me? I'm here to find my wife, of course," Lin Hai said with a laugh, thinking of the photo of that gorgeous beauty, feeling somewhat smug. Every man wishes his wife to be beautiful.
"You really have a wife?" Wanjing looked at Lin Hai in surprise, feeling an unexpected sense of disappointment for some reason—although she couldn't pinpoint why.
"Of course, but she's just my fiancée. I haven't even met her yet. I don't know if she will like me," Lin Hai said, nodding slightly and adding, "But with my charm, I guess any woman would be captivated by me, haha."
Hearing that Lin Hai wasn't actually married, Wanjing, for some reason, felt the disappointment in her heart vanish.
"I'm really curious, how could that guy named Xiao Jiba have such a bizarre name," Lin Hai wondered aloud, curious about who that guy really was.
Wanjing frowned, her expression turning serious, and said to Lin Hai, "I will find a way to deal with this. Xiao Jiba is no ordinary person; his father is the chief of police. His family has made quite a lot of money relying on that connection, and they also know many officials."
Lin Hai just laughed it off, as for an average person, these things might be intimidating. But should he be afraid of a playboy?
"It's okay, no one can do much to me. A Jiba is nothing to be scared of," Lin Hai said with a laugh.
Wanjing wanted to advise Lin Hai to be cautious, but seeing the calm and confident look in Lin Hai's eyes, she somehow felt that he might really be able to handle this situation on his own.
Sometimes, a woman's intuition is very accurate, but remembering how he had saved her, Wanjing decided to speak her mind: "Don't worry, I will handle this matter. Lin Hai, I don't want you to get into trouble."
"Ha ha, thank you then." Lin Hai couldn't bear to reject her kindness. In truth, with just one phone call, he could use his connections to sort out the matter, and then not just Xiao Jiba, but even his father wouldn't dare to make a peep.
After receiving a phone call, Wanjing had to leave the elevator earlier than planned.
...
On the other side, in a modernly decorated luxurious office, Ouyang Xiaoya, dressed in professional attire and exuding a queen style, her face set in a stern expression, glanced at her watch. It was nearly ten o'clock. Her father had called personally yesterday to say that someone important was arriving today, but they hadn't shown up yet. Ouyang Xiaoya, who was very sensitive about punctuality, disliked this disrespectful attitude.
Ouyang Xiaoya was ready. Whenever that person arrived, regardless of who they were, she planned to give them a good lecture for their lack of punctuality. Ouyang Xiaoya never masked her distaste; she wasn't good at hiding her emotions. That's why the elite circles of Huadu often described her as an ice queen.
Suddenly, Ouyang Xiaoya heard the door to her office being opened without a knock, and in stormed Lin Hai, his face covered with stubble.
Someone dared to come in without knocking first? This was incredibly rude.
Ouyang Xiaoya's face grew even colder. Before she could speak, Lin Hai plopped down on the soft, comfortable sofa opposite her, picked up the coffee from the table, took a sip, nodded, and savored the taste, saying, "Tsk, tsk, really nice."
Leaning lazily on the sofa, Lin Hai looked around the office environment and smiled again in admiration, "You really know how to enjoy life. Just this sofa is something an ordinary household can't compare with, and the decor is top-notch. It strikes a modern style without being overly luxurious, opting instead for a classic route. It seems a lot of thought has been put into decorating this office."
From this point, Lin Hai could also tell that the person sitting in this office must be extremely picky about the environment.
Suddenly, Ouyang Xiaoya's face was filled with a murderous rage.
Who is this sloppy guy? He even dares to barge into my CEO's office; are the security guards outside blind? A construction worker has entered my office, sat on my expensive sofa that I recently bought from Italy without saying a word, and even drank the coffee I had just brewed. Has this guy been educated at all? Doesn't he know the basic respect for others? Is this guy a nutcase who sneaked in? Should I call the police?
Ouyang Xiaoya's pretty face turned icy cold, her beautiful eyes brimming with intense anger and murderous intent as she glared fiercely at Lin Hai, thinking to herself that she definitely needed to teach the security staff a lesson later; how could they allow a lunatic to just enter the company freely? What are they even paid for? She definitely wouldn't tolerate paying a high salary for nothing.
After finishing the coffee, Lin Hai looked around, lit a cigarette, and took out a photo. He compared it with the furious face of Ouyang Xiaoya across him and sincerely admired, "Tsk tsk, the real person is much more beautiful than the photo, worthy of being my wife, indeed a top beauty."
"Who exactly are you?" If looks could kill, Lin Hai would probably have been turned to ashes instantly. She restrained her anger and asked word by word.
"Wife, didn't your father tell you yesterday?" Lin Hai blinked his eyes and replied.
What? Wife? When Ouyang Xiaoya heard this, her mind buzzed, and anger surged to her head immediately. This hillbilly must be insane, calling me his wife? As the beautiful CEO of Mingya Group, to be harassed by a hillbilly? Unbearable.
Glaring at Lin Hai, her face cold as frost, Ouyang Xiaoya sternly ordered him, "I command you to get out immediately, or I'll call the police!"
"Aiyo, wife, don't be so angry, I really am your husband, didn't your father tell you? I am Lin Hai." Lin Hai casually sat on the desk in front of Ouyang Xiaoya, flicked ash off his cigarette, and smiled.
"You!" Seeing his attitude, daring to sit on her desk, did this guy not finish elementary school? Hasn't he received higher education? Ouyang Xiaoya completely erupted, her volcanic anger made her want to slap the annoying man in front of her and send him flying, but rationality told her, as a dignified CEO, she must not lose her stature, yet she still furiously said, "I don't care who you are, get out immediately, or I'll make it so you rot in jail for the rest of your life!"
"Wife, how can you treat me like this when we are meeting for the first time?" Lin Hai blinked his eyes innocently.
Ouyang Xiaoya, with a face as cold as frost, even had thoughts of killing him crossing her mind. Her delicate fingers reached for the phone on her desk, only to find that the entire phone was somehow already in Lin Hai's hand, and this baffling guy even gave a smirk.
This act infuriated the proud and cold beauty CEO, pushing her to the edge; she had seen shameless people but never one this shameless. It was unbearable, how could such a person be her fiancé? She wished she could chop this detestable person in front of her instantly.
Seeing Ouyang Xiaoya's expression growing heavier and her icy face as if covered with frost, it seemed she would explode completely soon.
Lin Hai quickly tried to appease her with a smile, "Wife, don't be angry, I really am your fiancé, you can call Uncle Ouyang to confirm if you don't believe me. It's not good for your health to be so angry."
Ouyang Xiaoya forced herself to calm down, glanced at Lin Hai, who was scruffy and smoky, her disgust deepened, and she quickly dialed a number.
"Dear daughter, calling dad so early?" The voice of Ouyang Xiaoya's father came through the phone.
"Dad, you mentioned yesterday that an important person would come to meet me at the company, is it this guy named Lin Hai?" Ouyang Xiaoya cautiously asked.
"Yes, have you met him? How is he? He is your future husband and your personal bodyguard," her father, Ouyang Tianfeng replied.
"What? Fiancé? Personal bodyguard?" Ouyang Xiaoya was just about to sip some tea but almost spat it out in shock.
Disbelieving, she stared hard at Lin Hai, feeling her mind go blank. This trashy man, her fiancé? Has her father gone mad or blind?
"Yes, and since Lin Hai just returned and has no job, you, being the president of Mingya Group, could arrange a job for him, and find an auspicious day to get married later," her father continued. Ouyang Xiaoya nearly fainted.
Looking deeply at her, Lin Hai, Ouyang Xiaoya's disdain deepened yet again. A man who needs her to arrange a job was like nothing but trash, such a person also qualifies to be her husband? Looking at him, probably always living a poor and down-trodden life, probably incompetent, how could her father arrange such an absurd arrangement?
