Chapter 789: Chapter 788 Panic
The girl saw Li Zhenglong looking at her with a smile and immediately felt very strange, but still managed to squeeze out a thin smile and sat next to Li Zhenglong.
Their distance was less than 5 centimeters apart.
Li Zhenglong, smelling the fragrance that wafted from the girl, couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat accelerate.
"Hey, what’s your name?" the girl asked softly.
Li Zhenglong came to his senses and said, "And you? What’s your name?"
The girl smiled slightly and said, "I’m Zhou Yating."
"Zhou Yating?" Li Zhenglong repeated, laughing, "That’s a nice-sounding name."
"Thanks for the compliment," the girl said with a pursed-lip smile.
"By the way, why did you come to a place like this for a job interview?" Li Zhenglong asked with a smile.
"Because I want to make money to support my family," the girl said.
Li Zhenglong nodded and said, "You make a good point, this is a place where only the wealthy can afford to spend. Do you have any difficulties?"
The girl nodded and said, "I want to find a job that requires physical labor, but my family doesn’t have any money, and I also need to go to school. My parents don’t have jobs, so I can only come here to apply for a job."
Li Zhenglong thought for a moment and said, "What do you want to do? Be a bodyguard? Or do odd jobs?"
"I don’t know what I should do," Zhou Yating said, furrowing her brows in distress, "I guess I can only do one thing."
After thinking for a moment, Li Zhenglong said, "Well, in that case, why don’t you try it out here and see what kind of job suits you? If it doesn’t work out, you can always look for something better."
"Mm, thank you, I’ll try my best," Zhou Yating said gratefully.
Li Zhenglong waved his hand, indicating for her to go on with her work.
Zhou Yating got up and went to attend to other guests.
"Boss, should we..." Li Mengjie leaned closer to Li Zhenglong and asked in a low voice.
"Not for now, let’s see her performance first," Li Zhenglong shook his head and said, "Let’s find a seat and sit down."
"Okay," Li Mengjie nodded and followed Li Zhenglong to find a seat against the wall and sat down.
As soon as they sat down, a sexy and enchanting woman dressed in a black leather jacket and pants swayed her hips and came to sit next to Li Zhenglong.
Li Zhenglong looked at her and said, "Hello, is there anything I can help you with?"
"I think you’re handsome, so I wanted to chat you up," the sexy lady said.
"Hehe," Li Zhenglong gave a slight smile and said, "May I ask your surname?"
"My surname is Zhou," the sexy lady said with a smile.
"Miss Zhou, I’m actually here for a job interview. Do you have any thoughts?" Li Zhenglong asked.
Miss Zhou was taken aback and asked, "Are you applying for a security position? Do you have a driving license?"
"That’s not important, you just tell me what your requirements are, and I’ll fulfill them," Li Zhenglong said.
"Well then, since you’re so sincere, I’ll tell you the truth," Zhou Yating said, "What our company needs the most is a driving license. Could you get a driving license and bring me into the company?"
"That would be a bit troublesome, I’m afraid. Our company is a legitimate business, and it would be quite inconvenient without a driving license," Li Zhenglong said.
"That’s okay, as long as you can bring me in," Zhou Yating said softly.
"How about this, you come to apply tomorrow. I’ll get you a driving license, and you can give it a go. How’s that?" Li Zhenglong said.
"Great! I’ll be waiting for you."
After exchanging their phone numbers, they went their separate ways.
...
A day passed in the blink of an eye, and before they knew it, it was after eight o’clock in the evening.
"Dinglingling--"
Li Zhenglong’s cell phone suddenly rang.
He picked up the phone and saw an unfamiliar number. Without hesitation, he answered the call, "Hello?"
"Is this Li Zhenglong?" A soft and tender female voice came from the other end.
Li Zhenglong frowned and asked, "Yes, it is. May I ask, who is this?"
"It’s Zhou Yating! Are you free tonight? Let’s have dinner together!" she continued in a coquettish tone.
Li Zhenglong furrowed his brows and said, "I have plans tonight, let’s reschedule for another day."
"No way, it has to be tonight, I’ve already booked the restaurant," Zhou Yating said in a whiny voice, "If you don’t come, I’ll just hang up, and I won’t be responsible for what happens."
Li Zhenglong sighed helplessly and replied, "Alright. Where are you now?"
"I’m downstairs from your building. Hurry up and come down; I’m waiting for you in the car," Zhou Yating said.
"This..." Li Zhenglong frowned, wanting to refuse, but then he thought that if he didn’t agree, Zhou Yating would likely make a fuss.
"I’ll be right down," said Li Zhenglong, "But I hope you won’t talk nonsense, okay?"
"Don’t worry, I’m a very polite person," Zhou Yating said with a giggly tone.
Li Zhenglong didn’t say anything more. He stood up and walked toward the door.
When Li Zhenglong stepped out of the KTV, Zhou Yating ran out of the car.
"Hey, beautiful Mrs. Li, what brings you here?" Li Zhenglong asked in surprise.
"I heard from my parents that your company is hiring security, so I thought of this approach," Zhou Yating said playfully, winking, "How about it? Am I not clever?"
"Indeed clever, but you know this is illegal, right?" asked Li Zhenglong.
"I don’t care, my parents told me to give it a try, and if it’s successful, they will reward me handsomely," Zhou Yating said, "So, do you agree or not?"
"But if I don’t agree, your parents will think I’m ungrateful, and I don’t want that," said Li Zhenglong with difficulty.
"Oh, stop being so conflicted," Zhou Yating said, "I just want to make friends with you. I believe with my charm and ability, I can surely conquer you."
"Do you really want me to be your boyfriend that much?" Li Zhenglong asked.
"Of course! I’ve liked you for a long time!" Zhou Yating said candidly, "Although I don’t know what your family background is, I bet you’re a lot more formidable than they say, right?"
"Ha ha..." Li Zhenglong laughed, "So, you like someone who is many times stronger than you. Do you think you’d be happy that way?"
"You’re right," Zhou Yating nodded and said, "My background is somewhat unpleasant, but I’m willing to work hard to change my fate. I believe someday, I’ll be able to change my parents’ fates."
"Uh-huh. Well, I wish you reach your goals soon," said Li Zhenglong.
"Deal!" Zhou Yating said.
"Deal," Li Zhenglong replied and then turned and walked away.
...
Li Zhenglong returned to his room and lay on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep as he kept thinking about Zhou Yating’s seductive face, which more and more reminded him of his fiancée, Ye Yulan.
"Ah, Yulan, what should I do with you?" murmured Li Zhenglong.
"Knock, knock, knock..."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Li Zhenglong immediately jumped out of bed, opened the door, and to his surprise, it was Zhou Yating standing outside.
"Why have you come back? Didn’t I say I didn’t want to see you tonight?" Li Zhenglong said coldly.
"Hehe... I know," Zhou Yating smiled.
"Then what are you doing here now?" Li Zhenglong asked.
"Because I’m not willing to give up! I told you I wanted to have a date with you, so, I’m here," Zhou Yating smiled.
Li Zhenglong ignored her and turned back into the room, closing the door firmly.
"I know you really dislike me, and I also know there’s another woman in your heart, so I won’t force you to do anything. I’ll just wait in the car outside, and when you come out, I’ll drive you home," Zhou Yating said.
Li Zhenglong didn’t respond and went back to the bedroom, lying on the bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Zhou Yating was right; his heart did indeed harbor someone.
But she didn’t know that the girl was Ye Yulan.
"Mr. Li, may I ask you a question?"
Li Zhenglong was startled, quickly got up, opened the door, and said, "What’s your question? Just ask."
"Do you like me?" Zhou Yating asked.
"Uh..." Li Zhenglong was stunned.
How was he supposed to answer that question?
"You don’t have to worry, I just want to understand your feelings. Can you tell me the answer?" Zhou Yating asked.
"Do you really want to know the answer?"
"Mhm."
