Chapter 48: Chapter 48: All That Fills the Brain Is Crap

If it weren’t for involving Yang Sheng, Le Tong would never be so confrontational.

But Yang Sheng has been so good to her, how could she let him take such an unjust blame?

Ji Rui never expected Le Tong to be so fierce, and inexplicably felt even more annoyed.

And Le Tong was also the type that even ten horses couldn’t drag back once she was stubborn. So, the two of them faced off for several seconds. Ji Rui, who expected the other person to relent, saw not a hint of yielding from her, so he snorted coldly, "Fine!"

Granted permission by President Ji, Le Tong had nothing more to say, tossed her head, turned around, and walked out without hesitation.

Ji Rui squinted at her back until the door closed behind her, then picked up the phone and dialed out.

Just like that, the next morning, Ji Rui, along with the head of the HR department, conducted a new round of interviews with Le Tong.

Yang Sheng was unaware of this beforehand. When he returned and heard this absurd news, he only thought Ji Rui had gone mad!

And what on earth did his junior sister do to repeatedly make the stern, cold President Ji do such ridiculous, bizarre things?

Thus, originally believing his junior sister to have been oppressed and bullied by President Ji, Yang Sheng had to re-evaluate the subtle relationship between Ji Rui and Le Tong.

The interview took the entire morning, and just before lunch, the meeting room door, locked since morning, finally opened. The first to come out was President Ji, followed by the head of HR, and lastly, the little secretary, Le Tong.

Yang Sheng, who was leisurely enjoying tea in the guest lounge outside, stood up to meet them, while Ji Rui glanced at him, "So free?"

Yang Sheng smiled at him, "Reporting, President, I’m taking a compensatory day off today."

Ji Rui raised an eyebrow, "Waiting for me?"

Yang Sheng shook his head, "No, I’m waiting for Tongtong!"

Saying that, he bypassed him and walked to Le Tong’s side, smiling warmly at her.

"Tongtong, senior brother just received a big bonus, let me treat you to a nice meal. It’s okay if you lose your job, I’ll find you another one, this time, no interview needed, you can get in directly, with guaranteed salary..."

"Yang Sheng!" Ji Rui, walking in front, turned his head to interrupt Yang Sheng.

Yang Sheng looked up, meeting Ji Rui’s warning gaze, and stared back defiantly. "Hm?!"

"Who said she lost her job?"

Ji Rui glared fiercely at Yang Sheng. He always knew Yang Sheng had a peculiar and nasty personality, but he didn’t often experience it firsthand because, most of the time, Yang Sheng was on his side.

But now, it was obvious that Yang Sheng was opposing him.

"Tongtong, you actually passed? Amazing! I thought you wouldn’t get through a single stage!" Yang Sheng placed his arm around Le Tong’s shoulders, smiling down at her, lavishly praising her.

"Senior Brother, are you really treating me to a nice meal?"

The gluttonous bug in Le Tong’s stomach was awakened by Yang Sheng, making other compliments seem insignificant compared to eating.

"Of course, what do you want to eat? Seafood buffet? I remember you loved that the most!"

Yang Sheng nonchalantly put his arm around Le Tong and walked toward the elevator, completely ignoring President Ji, who looked as icy as a block of ice, and the dumbfounded head of HR.

Seeing them walk ahead with their shoulders together, Ji Rui, without thinking, strode to catch up.

The elevator door opened, and Yang Sheng and Le Tong walked in side by side. Just as they were about to close the door, Ji Rui stepped in.

"President, are you going out?"

Yang Sheng politely looked at Ji Rui, as if he wasn’t the one ignoring his superior a moment ago.

"Aren’t you treating to a nice meal?" Ji Rui’s face remained unchanged, implying that when Yang Sheng mentioned treating, he also included him.

Yang Sheng didn’t mind Ji Rui joining them. After all, why else did he wait outside the meeting room for so long if not to witness the commotion? Since President Ji sent himself over, as a spectator, Yang Sheng was certainly all for it.

"Tongtong, you don’t mind another person, right?" Yang Sheng very gentlemanly sought Le Tong’s opinion.

Although Le Tong secretly cursed Ji Rui a hundred, a thousand times, she wisely nodded in front of the person himself.

"I don’t mind. It’s our honor for the President to dine with us."

After saying this, she sweetly smiled at Ji Rui, but internally nearly threw up the piece of breakfast she hadn’t digested yet.

"President, I just got back this morning and heard someone complained that my Tongtong only got the President’s secretary position through my connection. Are those people’s heads filled with crap? To fabricate such absurd rumors and not even think that the position of the President’s secretary could be occupied by just any fool with connections? It seems they not only think my Tongtong is a fool but also think you, President, are a fool for letting a fool be a secretary!"

Though Yang Sheng’s words twisted and turned, essentially he was calling Ji Rui a brain-full-of-crap fool.

Standing to the side, Le Tong bit her lips, holding back laughter, while Ji Rui’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.

As for Yang Sheng, he seemed completely oblivious that his dear President was on the verge of exploding, continuing further.

"Luckily, my Tongtong is quite capable. Even with a redo interview, she passed with ease."

Saying this, Yang Sheng turned to look at Ji Rui, elbowing him, "Hey, President, you didn’t go easy on the interview, right?"

Ji Rui, with a dark face, said fiercely, "No!"

If he had gone easy, would he need to be so frustrated?! He could just throw Le Tong’s failed test paper at Yang Sheng’s head. Would he need to stand here listening to this veiled ridicule?

"Oh... that’s good! You scared me!" Yang Sheng dramatically patted his heart.

Ji Rui, after being teased by him, lost all his temper.

"Yang Sheng, enough! Stop it!"

Ji Rui barked at Yang Sheng. Among family, his son was the one he couldn’t handle, among friends, Yang Sheng was the one he couldn’t deal with.

Of course, Ji Rui could reprimand Yang Sheng harshly in his superior’s capacity, but in this matter, Ji Rui knew he was in the wrong.

In fact, the suspicion that Le Tong got into Ji Family through Yang Sheng had indeed crossed his mind, but only fleetingly.

He understood the Ji Family’s system better than anyone, and he also believed he understood Yang Sheng well. Not to mention the head of HR wouldn’t allow Yang Sheng to exploit any loophole, Yang Sheng would also scorn doing such a thing.

In truth, today’s interview was purely a showdown between him and Le Tong.

If Le Tong had softened, this interview would never have happened.

But Le Tong’s stubbornness was harder than diamonds, and he still thought she was a gentle little lamb!
