I Treat You as My Sister, But You Want to be My Wife?!

Chapter 217: Chapter 217: Job Application_1

"Okay," Lu Xingzhou nodded.

As long as Shen Dong said that, it wasn’t a blatant offense against Penguin Video.

Indeed, how could a sharp-minded person like Shen Dong do such a foolish thing?

Shen Dong must have a certain goal in mind, but what that goal was, wasn’t his concern.

His only duty was to do his own job well.

There were things he should not ask, if Shen Dong wanted him to know, he would tell him.

If Shen Dong didn’t want him to know, asking would make him seem ignorant of how things work.

As a general manager of a company, he couldn’t afford to be ignorant of how things work.

Working under Shen Dong was quite good, and he didn’t want to be thought of as clueless by Shen Dong and consequently get fired.

"All right, you get back to work, I’m leaving," Shen Dong stood up and said.

"Oh, Mr. Shen, there’s one more thing. Our company is a little short of staff, we need to hire a few more people, what do you think..." Lu Xingzhou said.

"You handle that matter yourself, hire if you need to hire. I only have one requirement, get the job done well."

Having said that, Shen Dong left.

...

In the blink of an eye, two days passed.

"Mom, I’m leaving."

Chen Yuting put on her professional attire, grabbed her purse, and was ready to head out.

She was off to a job interview. During this time, she stayed at home, either playing on her phone or binge-watching TV series, and occasionally went out for walks, feeling like she was wasting away.

She needed to go out and work.

Only through work could she see her own value.

"I haven’t asked you yet, which company are you interviewing with?" Feng Lijuan asked. Before Chen Yuting could reply, she continued, "Why don’t you try for Dongyan Media? Shen Dong is the owner of Dongyan Media. You were the vice president of Huya Guild, you have some management experience. If you work for Dongyan Guild, you’re sure to be part of the management. Plus, if you work there, you can see Shen Dong every day. I’ve heard that he likes to spend time at Dongyan Media when he’s free. You two could be together morning and night, and it wouldn’t be long before you could get back together."

Chen Yuting replied with some exasperation, "Mom, my sister is the financial director of Dongyan Guild. How would that look if I went there? What would others think of me? Do you want them to say I’m the mistress who stole my sister’s man?"

Feng Lijuan knew she couldn’t persuade Chen Yuting, so she simply gave up trying and asked, "Then which company are you interviewing with?"

"Lixing Company," Chen Yuting said.

Feng Lijuan frowned and said, "What kind of company is that? I’ve never even heard of it. Does this company have a future?"

"Mom, if you bothered to watch the news, you wouldn’t be clueless about this company," Chen Yuting said.

Feng Lijuan asked curiously, "What about it? This company made the news? From what you’re saying, it even made the hot news?"

"Our country’s copyright bureau has recently started an anti-piracy campaign, which has caused many pirated video websites to be shut down..." Chen Yuting began to explain.

Before Chen Yuting could finish, Feng Lijuan interrupted, "No wonder those video websites I used to visit aren’t accessible anymore. So, they were shut down due to the national crackdown on piracy."

Chen Yuting gave Feng Lijuan a disapproving look and said, "Mom, are you going to listen or not? If not, I’m leaving."

Chen Yuting pretended to leave.

Feng Lijuan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Yes, yes, keep talking. I won’t interrupt."

"Because of the national crackdown on piracy, the price of copyrights for movies and TV shows has skyrocketed. The price of ordinary movies and TV shows has increased by about fifty times, and the price of high-quality movies and TV shows has gone up a hundredfold. Lixing Company has recently invested several billion to acquire a massive amount of copyrights, and now they’re the dominant player in this field, valued at over ten billion. Lixing Company has moved to a new office recently, and they announced recruitment a couple of days ago. I saw that the salary and benefits were very good, so I submitted my resume and received a response," Chen Yuting explained.

Feng Lijuan’s eyes widened, "An investment of several billion, and now worth over ten billion? That’s terrifyingly profitable, isn’t it?"

She paused, then casually asked, "Where is this company located?"

"In Fuli Building," answered Chen Yuting.

Fuli Building?

Feng Lijuan was astonished, "Isn’t that the same building where Dongyan Media is located?"

Chen Yuting nodded, "Yes, exactly above Dongyan Media. Dongyan Media is on the twentieth floor, and Lixing Company is on the twenty-first floor."

Feng Lijuan’s eyes lit up with excitement, "That’s great! I told you to go find Shen Dong, but you refused to lower your pride and wouldn’t go. If you work at Fuli Building, you’ll definitely run into Shen Dong often, and you two will be able to get back together quickly."

"Mom, stop it, I’m leaving." Chen Yuting couldn’t listen anymore and immediately left the house.

Taking the subway, she arrived at Fuli Building.

At eight forty-five, she arrived at the entrance of Lixing Company.

The interview was at nine, and she arrived fifteen minutes early.

"Good morning, Mr. Chen," the receptionist greeted Chen Yuting as she walked in.

Hearing this, Chen Yuting was suddenly taken aback, stopped in her tracks, and asked, "What did you call me?"

"Mr. Chen," the receptionist replied with some confusion, wondering what was up with Mr. Chen.

She looked at Chen Yuting and noticed that she seemed different from before.

That’s right, a different aura.

Chen Yuyan usually gave off a very gentle vibe, and her entire presence was very approachable.

She always had a smile on her face when greeting people which made others feel comfortable.

The girl in front of her, though resembling Mr. Chen, seemed a bit cold.

And then she asked that kind of question.

All of this indicated that the girl in front of her was not Mr. Chen.

The two of them looked so much alike...

Realizing this, the receptionist said, "I’m sorry, I mistook you for someone else; you must be Mr. Chen’s twin sister, right?"

Chen Yuting asked, "My sister works for your company?"

The receptionist nodded, "Yes, she’s our financial director. Didn’t you know?"

If they were twin sisters, they should be close, so how could this be Mr. Chen’s sister and she didn’t know?

"Then what is Shen Dong to the company?" Chen Yuting asked.

"He’s our boss," replied the receptionist.

"What!"

Chen Yuting’s exclamation was followed by a buzzing in her head.

Shen Dong was actually the boss of Lixing Company.

This company was valued at over ten billion.

After the shock passed, Chen Yuting came to her senses, looked around, and quickly turned to leave.

"Miss Chen, you..."

The receptionist was puzzled, wondering why she was leaving.

What was this situation?

And from the looks of it, she didn’t know her own brother-in-law was the boss of the company.

She didn’t know her own sister was the financial director.

It appeared that her relationship with the boss and Mr. Chen was somewhat complicated.

"Oh no, did I say something wrong? Is the boss going to fire me?"

Thinking this, the receptionist’s pretty face turned pale.

The company had just given out bonuses to everyone the day before; even she, still in her probationary period, had received a bonus of five thousand, more than a month’s salary.

The general manager had even said that everyone’s salary would be increased by twenty percent the following month.

With the company doing so well and the boss being so generous, she didn’t want to leave the company.
