She didn’t understand why Murong Yumeng had such blind trust in Ye Leng’an. Ye Leng’an was very fake; she clearly just wanted to leech off wealthy individuals, yet she pretended to be an angelic beauty. It was truly shameless.
In the future, she vowed to keep a close watch on Ye Leng’an, ensuring she never got the chance to harm Senior Sister Murong. Senior Sister Murong was such a good person, and Ye Leng’an truly didn’t appreciate her.
Meanwhile, Murong Yumeng, having left the café, pulled out her phone and made a call.
Once the call connected, she got straight to the point. “Help me find a regular internship position for someone, and I’ll give you the name. When the time comes, you call her to start work. Also, arrange a single dorm for her at the company.”
After a moment’s thought, she added, “She doesn’t need special treatment, but she’ll only be there for a month, so pay her the same as a regular employee!”
After a few more exchanges, a hint of calculation flashed in Murong Yumeng’s eyes. “Once she starts, make sure to casually mention that she’s getting the same pay as a regular employee because of me, got it?”
With a satisfactory response from the other end, Murong Yumeng hung up.
A satisfied smile played on her lips after the call.
Today had been an unexpected delight for her! Initially puzzled by the unfamiliar call, she hadn’t expected it to be a godsend.
Zhou Cui’an didn’t seem very bright. It shouldn’t be hard to manipulate her. A small incentive would earn her gratitude.
It would be much easier to gather information about Ye Leng’an in the future. Perhaps Ye Leng’an never expected to have a pawn planted by her side, let alone one that willingly presented itself.
Meanwhile, Ye Leng’an remained oblivious to Murong Yumeng’s scheming. Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care; strength rendered her impervious to schemes.
At present, Ye Leng’an was in the Huangye Group, working alongside Huangfu Ruiling.
Approaching lunchtime, Huangfu Ruiling set aside his work.
Normally, he lost track of time when alone and even skipped meals. However, with Ye Leng’an around, work ceased at mealtime.
Ye Leng’an put down the ancient tome and eyed Huangfu Ruiling approaching. She blinked, stretched, and remarked, “Time for lunch?”
Huangfu Ruiling sat beside her, putting an arm around Ye Leng’an. “You’re more absorbed than me!”
“This ancient book is really something,” Ye Leng’an said, picking it up. “So I got a bit carried away. But I never expected your enforcement team to have such books on spiritual plants and alchemy.”
The tome in her hands was a gift from Huangfu Ruiling’s enforcement team’s library. Its contents surprised her; she hadn’t seen such plants even in the cultivation world.
Upon reading the content above, she realized that she, too, was lacking in knowledge. Indeed, one should learn throughout life!
“It was probably found in some secret land in the Hidden World,” Huangfu Ruiling surmised. “But since nobody cares, they gather dust in the library.”
Huangfu Ruiling sensed Ye Leng’an’s affinity for the book. Yet, she often got so lost in it that she forgot Huangfu Ruiling’s presence.
Seeing this, Huangfu Ruiling felt a twinge of gloominess. But even if annoyed by Ye Leng’an’s neglect, he wouldn’t act; he knew Ye Leng’an genuinely loved the book.
Unaware of Huangfu Ruiling’s feelings, Ye Leng’an beamed. “This book is so inspiring! So, I’ve decided…”
Huangfu Ruiling felt a foreboding at her words, confirmed by what followed.
“Starting tomorrow, I’ll seclude myself for three days to refine pills,” Ye Leng’an announced. “I’m sure I’ll make a breakthrough.”
Huangfu Ruiling frowned. “You’ve just had a break. Can’t you spend time with me?”
“It’s just three days, not the entire break,” Ye Leng’an reassured, hooking her arm around Huangfu Ruiling’s neck. “Three days is short; they’ll pass quickly. Then I’ll be with you for the rest of the holiday!”
Huangfu Ruiling gazed quietly at her. Eventually, after a myriad of thoughts, it condensed into a sigh. “Well, since you’ve already made up your mind, I won’t say anything more. However, even though you’ll be in seclusion, don’t forget your three meals a day. You shouldn’t forget everything the moment you start refining pills.”
“I promise.” Ye Leng’an nodded, then reminded, “And you too! I won’t be here to supervise, but I’ll check when I come out.”
Huangfu Ruiling chuckled. “I understand. I won’t neglect myself.”
Satisfied, Ye Leng’an nodded. “Good, I trust you!”
“Alright, it’s lunchtime,” Huangfu Ruiling said, his eyes soft with affection. “Let’s go! You wanted Japanese food, right?”
“Yes!”
They got up and left, heading outside.
