The beautiful CEO falls in love with me

Jianghuai City, Global Building.

Tianya Group is one of the top 500 domestic enterprises, engaged in industries such as IT, finance, apparel, real estate, etc., and is a typical diversified enterprise.

According to rumors, the president of Tianya Group is a cold and beautiful woman, just twenty-five years old and still unmarried. Therefore, the Group's recruitment has always been a blessing for many men. As for the reliability of these rumors, that remains unknown.

However, an incident last week shocked Jianghuai City. Li Ruo, the icy president of Tianya Group, was shot while visiting a factory to learn about the welfare of the workers. The incident caused a huge uproar, with various rumors circulating. Regardless, Tianya Group started to focus on Li Ruo's personal safety.

The original security team was dismissed, and the Tianya Group began on-site recruitment for bodyguards at the Global Building. The requirements were extremely strict: candidates must have more than three years of military experience and be sergeant rank or above, be proficient in using various weapons and blades, and have driving skills, with Special Forces veterans given priority.

A long line formed outside Global Building, with some people in camouflage, suggesting military personnel. The queue was disorganized: some casually held their bags standing in place, while others stood straight with sharp eyes.

"Excuse me... quick, move aside!" Ye Chen rushed into the crowd, with Yao Yue seemingly about to catch up behind him.

"What's all this chaos about!" The crowd was stirred up by Ye Chen's entrance. Military men generally don't have the best manners, and seeing Ye Chen barge in like this made them angry: "Kid, queue up properly!"

"Damn it!" Ye Chen turned and shouted back with a hint of menace flashing in his eyes.

The queue behind him immediately quieted down. Although they were military men, most of them had never fought in wars and were 'pseudo-soldiers'. Ye Chen was not just any soldier – he came out of the Golden Triangle. Surviving in such a place meant you weren't ordinary; luck gets you through a day, strength through a month, but to live a year, that's no common feat.

Ye Chen had been undercover in the Golden Triangle for a year but had to escape due to an incident. His year on the run gave off a murderous aura.

Those behind him knew better than to mess with this man in sportswear. They quickly stopped and continued to line up properly as Ye Chen slipped into the building.

"Hey, hey... what are you doing?!" At the entrance of the building, a black-clothed man with a pair of dark sunglasses on his nose stopped Ye Chen, angrily saying, "Line up, line up! Don't you know there are interviews going on inside?"

"Uh..." Ye Chen paused, turned to look back, and realized these people were interviewing? Just as he was about to leave, he saw Yao Yue's figure getting closer. He quickly turned and stood his ground.

"Strange, where is he?" Yao Yue's muttering could clearly be heard by Ye Chen, who hastily covered his heart and drew a cross on his chest, praying: Saint Heir, Holy Father, Holy Mother, bless me, Amen!

A dejected soldier walked out of the building. There was no need to see to know he had failed the interview. His failure spurred the waiting applicants even more.

"Kid, it's your turn!" The Black-clad Strongman immediately pulled Ye Chen in, saying, "Got everything ready?"

Ye Chen nodded quickly, though he had no idea what was supposed to be ready. With pursuers behind him, he could not afford to think too much. He entered with a brave face.

"New guy, show your ID Card, military officer card, pass, and IQ certification..." Just as he entered the lobby, a plump middle-aged man sitting behind a coffee-colored desk turned his slick eyes onto Ye Chen. Seeing Ye Chen dressed in knockoff Adidas clothes, the man turned his nose up in disdain and rolled his eyes towards the ceiling.

Ye Chen filtered out the fat man and continued inside.

"Hey, kid, where are you going? You haven't shown the required documents yet!" The fat man immediately stood up, his burly body shaking and his clothes vibrating rhythmically.

"Why do I need an IQ certificate for a bodyguard job?" Ye Chen stared with widened eyes.

"Working for Mr. Li, you can't do it with subpar intelligence!" The fat man broke into a grin, his two shiny front teeth reflecting the light as he said, "Of course, if you don't have it, we can test it on-site, no problem..."

As he spoke, the fat man's right thumb and forefinger kept rubbing together...

Suddenly, Ye Chen saw an opportunity and quietly asked, "Fatty, how much for this test?"

"Not much, just one thousand yuan to guarantee an IQ of two hundred!" Fatty immediately felt he had a chance and his eyebrows conveyed his delight. He rubbed his hands together with even more vigor as his shifty eyes darted around non-stop.

"Then... is there a discount? Just enough to pass?" Ye Chen asked anxiously, fearing that Yao Yue might spot him at the entrance.

"Well..." Fatty furrowed his brows, sized up Ye Chen, and said, "Five hundred yuan, an IQ of one hundred and ten, just enough to pass!"

Ye Chen was immediately crestfallen. He had only a little over three hundred yuan in his pocket. Where could he get the money for the IQ test fee? Damn it, he couldn't just be thrown out, could he? Desperately, he said, "Fatty, what about... two hundred yuan for a simple test question?"

Fatty was stunned for a moment, but then like a flash of lightning, he snatched the two hundred yuan from Ye Chen's hands. After checking it against the light to make sure it was real money, he nodded in satisfaction and raised three fingers to ask, "What is the biggest difference between Sakyamuni and Jesus?"

"Hehe, one has ringlets, and the other has tight curls!" Ye Chen chuckled and went inside with quick steps. Behind him, Fatty was puzzled and scratched his head, unable to figure it out, and muttered quietly, "Strange, aren't Sakyamuni and Jesus the same person? What difference could there be?"

Pfft...

Ye Chen almost stumbled as he walked ahead.

Turning left in the lobby, Ye Chen pushed open the door with a black wood grain. Inside was a large gym filled with boxing equipment of every sort. In the three o'clock direction stood a row of men in black, wearing standard Armani black suits, Dinosaur Eyewear, crew cuts, with low-frequency communicators clipped to their ears.

"Are you applicant number thirty-three?" A cold voice came from the left.

Ye Chen quickly turned his head, immediately feeling a rush of awe. The cold and proud woman sitting in the middle in front of the desk caught his attention immediately, looking as chilling as touching an iceberg at first sight. A pair of beautiful eyes shot out icy blades. The woman wore a neatly tailored professional suit with two generous mounds at the collar attracting Ye Chen's gaze. Her facial features were delicately sculpted, with skin like milk-soaked porcelain, clear and pure. Ye Chen guessed this woman must be the interviewer, he thought to himself.

"I... am!" Ye Chen promptly stood at attention, his gaze clashing fiercely with that of the cold beauty.

"Number thirty-three, with what will you serve as a bodyguard for the hired person?" the cold beauty asked with a slight frown.

"Wit, bravery, responsibility!" Ye Chen blurted out without even thinking.

The cold beauty was taken aback, not expecting such a quick response. She nodded slightly and continued, "When the person you're hired to protect is faced with a life-threatening situation, what would you choose to do?"

"I would choose to defend the duty of a bodyguard with my life!" Ye Chen's brows were furrowed, and he looked very solemn. In truth, he was simply worried about Yao Yue waiting for him at the door. Isn't there a saying: Why does brother's eyes always carry tears? Because brother pretends too deeply!

Li Ruo was very pleased with Ye Chen, at least compared to the thirty-some applicants she had interviewed so far, she had the best impression of him. Li Ruo asked, "What is your name?"

"Ye Chen, twenty-six years old, no military career, but capable in combat!" Ye Chen quickly introduced himself.

The woman was taken aback, how did he get in without a military background? She frowned slightly and said, "Next test, please!"

Then, a black-clad strongman led Ye Chen to the center of the room and threw him a set of protective gear and boxing gloves, saying, "If you can withstand an attack from the four of us for five minutes, you'll pass!"

"Damn it, not four guys?!" Ye Chen looked in disbelief at the strongmen as they stepped forward. Just in height, Ye Chen was already a cut shorter; he was about one meter eighty, but those strong men were at least one meter eighty-five or taller.

"Let's start!" The leading black-clothed man stepped forward and aimed a sidekick at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen inwardly cried out in alarm and quickly dodged. Perhaps his combat skills were not the strongest, but when it came to escaping, he was quite impressive. After all, this was related to the nature of Ye Chen's past work, and also greatly related to Yao Yue's relentless pursuit over the past year.

Dodging an attack, three more strongmen coordinated and charged at Ye Chen from behind almost simultaneously.
