Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

"Li Xiaoyao, where do you work?"

"Unemployed tramp."

"…What can you do?"

"Kill people."

"…"

There was no way the conversation could continue. In the beginning, Tang Tiantian felt somewhat bad about directly kicking Li Xiaoyao out, but after chatting briefly, Tang Tiantian realized that she might have made a very wrong decision.

The apartment she was currently renting cost two thousand five hundred Xuan Country Currency a month, and her salary was just five thousand Xuan Country Currency a month. If it was just about providing shelter to Li Xiaoyao for a few days, that wouldn't be a problem, since he had helped her out so much.

But now, Tang Tiantian felt that this man seemed to be planning to stay for the long haul.

Tang Tiantian decided that she had to make things clear to Li Xiaoyao. Even if she had to be blunt, she had to explain that he could stay at most for a week. After a week, either he had to pay rent or… hit the road.

Just as Tang Tiantian was brewing up how to broach the topic, Li Xiaoyao suddenly spoke up.

"I'll go job hunting tomorrow, and I will definitely find a job within three days, then I'll pay you the rent," he said.

Tang Tiantian felt somewhat uneasy under Li Xiaoyao's gaze, as if all the little schemes in her heart were laid bare. Guiltily, she waved her hands repeatedly and said, "There's no need, you can take your time to find a job. Don't worry about the rent for now."

Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "That won't do. I am a man; how can I let a woman provide for me. Don't worry, I will surely find a job."

Li Xiaoyao's voice was not loud, but it was filled with confidence. This air of self-assurance momentarily stunned Tang Tiantian.

She found that even though this man wasn't particularly handsome, he was very clean-cut, particularly his eyes, which shone like the stars.

Tang Tiantian felt herself being drawn to Li Xiaoyao's eyes and abruptly pulled her thoughts back. She picked up her phone, glanced at it, and exclaimed, "It's almost one o'clock, I need to go to work."

Tang Tiantian hurried to her room, and ten minutes later, she emerged dressed in professional attire.

"Here are the keys to the house; I'm off to work," Tang Tiantian said as she handed the keys to Li Xiaoyao, then took her purse and left.

Li Xiaoyao didn't stay much longer and also left the apartment.

After spending so many years abroad, Li Xiaoyao had become accustomed to a freewheeling lifestyle, which he found somewhat uncomfortable to adjust to now that he was back in his home country.

But comfortable or not, he still needed to find a job.

Due to some reasons, Li Xiaoyao only had a little over two hundred Xuan Country Currency on him, and the money he had earned as a mercenary had been swallowed by a despicable person.

Shaking his head to clear it of distractions, Li Xiaoyao headed towards the city center.

In truth, Li Xiaoyao was skilled in many areas; he could pretty much handle any physical or mental task.

He had just a few criteria for the job he was seeking: first, it had to be easy; second, the salary had to be high; and third, the hours had to be flexible.

Okay, these requirements were actually quite demanding, and most jobs didn't fit the bill.

Li Xiaoyao thought about it, turned around, and found an internet cafe. He searched online for companies in Ling City, taking note of several major ones.

Upon leaving the internet cafe, Li Xiaoyao went to a nearby print shop to print out several copies of his resume. Then, holding his resumes, he walked into a 5A-grade high-end office building.

This building was named Pan-Lan International Group, and the company occupied the entire building.

Li Xiaoyao entered the building and went straight to the reception desk, where several tall and beautiful women in black business attire greeted him politely. "Hello, sir, how may I assist you today?" they asked.

Li Xiaoyao smiled slightly and said, "I'm here to apply for a position."

The receptionist asked, "Oh, may I ask which position you are applying for, sir?"

Li Xiaoyao replied, "Marketing Department Director."

A hint of disdain flashed in the receptionist's eyes, not that she was necessarily looking down on him; Li Xiaoyao's dress was just too ordinary.

A pair of faded jeans, a commonplace white shirt, and a pair of scuffed up Warrior sneakers.

With such attire, he was telling people he had come to apply for a director's position; the fact that they hadn't called security to escort him out was already quite face-saving.

The beauty asked, "Did you receive a notification for the interview?"

Li Xiaoyao lied without blinking an eye, handed over his resume, and said, "Of course, your HR department called me specifically to come for the job interview."

The beauty picked up the resume and glanced at it. The disdain on her face immediately turned into surprise, then disbelief.

No wonder the beauty was so flustered—it was because Li Xiaoyao's resume was simply too awesome.

Education: PhD.

Alma Mater: Yun Country's Fri University.

Work Experience: Wall Street XX Finance…

Never judge a book by its cover, never judge a book by its cover, never judge a book by its cover!

The beauty repeated to herself three times in her heart, then lifted her head again with a flattering smile on her face, and said, "Mr. Li, please go directly to the 28th floor. They're holding interviews there. Just take your resume with you."

"Thanks," Li Xiaoyao winked at the beauty and turned towards the elevator.

Watching Li Xiaoyao's retreating figure, the beauty suddenly thought those whitened jeans paired with a white shirt could actually look so dashing, especially those Warrior sneakers on his feet—they truly were the epitome of understated luxury.

Given Li Xiaoyao's skills at bluffing people, swindling a girl or two was definitely like taking candy from a baby.

While riding the elevator, Li Xiaoyao noticed that almost everyone in it was holding a resume—they were all there for interviews.

The elevator was very quiet; no one spoke.

It wasn't long before they reached the 28th floor, where everyone got off.

Li Xiaoyao followed the crowd with his resume in hand, made his way to the corridor, and then a staff member said, "All applicants, please have a seat here and wait. We'll call your name when it's your turn."

Everyone sat on the benches in the corridor waiting to be called for their interview.

While resting, Li Xiaoyao took the opportunity to look around. It was his professional habit; whenever he arrived at a new place, he always made a point to familiarize himself with the environment as quickly as possible. That way, if anything happened, he could make quick decisions and address them swiftly.

Li Xiaoyao soon realized that there indeed were a lot of women in this company, and they were all beauties.

Oh, he remembered—this was an entertainment company. It was normal for there to be many beauties.

He also quickly observed something else: all the job applicants were men, not a single woman among them.

"Hey, bro, what position are you applying for?" Li Xiaoyao asked the man next to him.

"Security guard."

After chatting briefly with the man, Li Xiaoyao moved on to continue his questioning with the next one.

After asking over a dozen men, Li Xiaoyao finally found his target.

"Brother, are you also applying for the position of Marketing Department General Manager?" Li Xiaoyao looked at the man in front of him, excited as if he had seen his long-lost son.

The man looked at Li Xiaoyao warily and asked, "Are you here to apply for the Marketing Department General Manager as well?"

Li Xiaoyao nodded, handed over his resume, and said, "Yeah, we are really fated to meet here. However, I heard they're only hiring one person for this position. Ah, it's such a pity—you'll have to continue job hunting."

The man's eyelids twitched, and he roared inside, is this how your mother taught you to speak? What do you mean I'll have to continue job hunting? Are you so confident that you can beat me? If he weren't waiting for an interview notification, he really wanted to slap Li Xiaoyao right there.

With anger in his heart, the man looked down at Li Xiaoyao's resume. He wasn't worried, but one look almost scared him to death.

Shit!

This guy is so damn impressive, this damn resume is ridiculously amazing!

Seeing that the man had finished looking, Li Xiaoyao patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, failure is the mother of success. Just experience it a few more times, and you'll get there. Think of the interview as a training exercise, because you're not going to get the job anyway."

The man returned the resume to Li Xiaoyao, grabbed his own bag, stood up and headed towards the elevator.

Li Xiaoyao watched the man's forlorn figure with a satisfied smile on his face.

Winning without fighting—that's exactly what this was.
