~11 min read 2,141 words

At noon, Zhang Qing, the deputy manager of the administrative department responsible for the interview just now, walked out of the Technology Building, preparing to go to a nearby shopping mall to keep an appointment with a friend.

Inside a gray sedan parked on the side of the road, Franca turned her body and nodded solemnly at Anthony.

Anthony immediately pushed the door and got out of the car, mingling into the coming and going crowd, hurriedly walking from the side toward Zhang Qing.

Bang, he accidentally bumped into this man in his thirties, causing the phone the other party was holding to fall to the ground.

"Sorry, sorry." Anthony apologized repeatedly while bending down to pick up the phone, wiped it a few times on his clothes, and handed it back to Zhang Qing.

Zhang Qing had a dark face and scolded Anthony angrily:

"How are you walking? Do you not have eyes?"

"Sorry, sorry." Anthony's attitude of admitting his mistake was very good and sincere.

Zhang Qing stared at Anthony's eyes, which had been adjusted to dark brown using "Lies," as if discerning whether the other party was apologizing sincerely or perfunctorily.

After a few seconds, he took back his phone and suddenly felt dazed for a moment.

Zhang Qing shook his head and carefully checked his phone, finding no substantial damage.

"Forget it, forget it, be careful when walking next time!" This deputy manager of the administrative department of the Intis Group's headquarters shook his phone with relatively good cultivation and stopped pursuing the matter.

"Really sorry, how about I treat you to an iced coffee?" Anthony pointed to a Luckin Coffee in the corner on the first floor of the Technology Building.

Zhang Qing's expression softened:

"No need, I'm in a hurry.

"You don't look that young, be more steady when doing things in the future."

After speaking, Zhang Qing braved the scorching sun and walked toward the shopping mall at the intersection.

Anthony saw that there were many people queuing at Luckin Coffee, so he immediately ran into the convenience store on the side of the Technology Building's main entrance and quickly bought a can of bottled coffee.

He held this coffee and ran to catch up with Zhang Qing:

"Really sorry just now, this represents my apology."

He handed over the coffee.

Zhang Qing looked Anthony up and down suspiciously, stared at him for two seconds, took the bottled coffee, and said:

"You are not bad at doing things."

He didn't want to drink a beverage given by a stranger, but thought he could accept the apology.

Just after taking the bottled coffee, Zhang Qing felt dazed again, and then felt that Anthony's attitude of apologizing was incomparably sincere, had enough initiative, and was about the same age as himself, suddenly feeling a sense of closeness.

Seeing this, Anthony relaxed a little in his heart.

This was the second "hypnosis," and it finally succeeded.

The first time was when he returned Zhang Qing's phone, but unfortunately, it failed.

—After becoming a Sequence 6 "Hypnotist," Anthony's "psychological suggestion," or "hypnosis," no longer needed to rely on media like candle flames or floral water to be completed. Just by letting the target's attention truly focus on something, especially his own eyes, he could open the door to the other party's "mental body." If there was cooperation in the behavior of giving and receiving during the process, the effect would be better and the success rate higher.

Later on, Anthony advanced to Sequence 5, and his application of "hypnosis" improved further.

But now, he was suppressed by the dream to the Sequence 7 level. Although he still didn't need the help of media like candle flames, floral water, or pocket watches to complete "hypnosis," the success rate had dropped significantly. When "hypnotizing" an ordinary person, he had rarely failed, so he had to make an emergency remedy.

"I just finished an interview and was in a hurry to get to the next one, so I was in a rush." Anthony explained further.

"Just finished an interview?" The guided Zhang Qing said with a smile, "I also just finished an interview, but I am the interviewer."

"Are you from the Intis Group?" Anthony pretended to be curious.

Seventy percent of the white-collar workers coming out of the Technology Building were likely from the Intis Group.

"Right, from the headquarters, recruiting an administrator." Zhang Qing didn't know why, but he felt unusually relaxed and actually spoke his mind, "There is a candidate now, but I don't know if Boss Huang will deny it later. Although recruiting an administrator is a matter that doesn't need to be reported to him specifically, the HR director can decide, but he likes to go to the administrative department to stroll..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Qing suddenly closed his mouth, feeling that he shouldn't talk about Boss Huang's gossip in front of an outsider.

"Your boss, Boss Huang? What kind of person is he? Many people in the country know." Anthony revealed a look of sudden realization.

Zhang Qing smiled:

"Right, tsk, the one recruited this time doesn't quite fit Boss Huang's aesthetic, uh, mainly in style, the figure is quite fitting, but who told us this was designated by Miss Huang?"

"This is also a good thing. Now in the administrative department, half of the employees only know how to put on makeup and bicker every day, waiting for Boss Huang to stroll by. Sometimes, I feel like I'm a big eunuch, no, a big eunuch's deputy, helping Boss Huang manage the harem, even more 'Empresses in the Palace' than 'Empresses in the Palace.' Now it's good, another one who can work is coming, my pressure can be reduced a lot, otherwise I would feel that Luo Shan, who slacks off every day, is a labor model..."

Mentioning this aspect of things, Zhang Qing was full of desire to complain.

Anthony cooperated very well, letting Zhang Qing say a lot more, feeling completely comfortable inside.

After a while, Zhang Qing looked at his wristwatch:

"I still have to hurry."

He hesitated whether to add Anthony's WeChat. Being middle-aged, there were very few people he could chat with so congenially.

In the end, Zhang Qing still valued his status and didn't take the initiative to speak.

Anthony was also hesitating. Being able to add Zhang Qing's WeChat could provide a lot of convenience for Franca and Lu Mian's actions in the Intis Group.

But in the end, Anthony didn't add it, because he felt that he couldn't connect all the lines to the Intis Group, as it would be easy for the Celestial Worthy or His subordinates to catch them all in one net.

Bidding farewell to Zhang Qing, after he walked far away, Anthony turned his body and walked toward the gray sedan parked on the side of the road.

He didn't get in the car, but when approaching the gray sedan, he raised his right hand and covertly made an "OK" gesture.

Then, he passed this gray sedan and walked toward another intersection.

From now on, he had to be alone until tomorrow.

This was because he had deeply contacted Zhang Qing and used Extraordinary abilities on this deputy manager of the Intis Group's headquarters administrative department, and this was someone around the "Fool" Mr. Dream image, although not very close.

After seeing Anthony's gesture, Franca nodded slowly and drove the gray sedan onto the road with a calm exterior.

After getting away from the Technology Building, she raised the corners of her mouth and said triumphantly to Lu Mian in the passenger seat:

"As soon as I saw Miss Huang in the conference room, I knew that the original arrangements and plans had to be completely overturned.

"In a flash, I thought of how to do it!

"What is this called? This is called having quick wit and being able to adapt to circumstances!"

After Franca finished boasting, Lu Mian laughed and said:

"Perhaps that is the real Princess Bei Er Na Dai, specifically coming to the dream to provide help for you to infiltrate the Intis Group."

"..." Franca quickly adjusted her mindset and asked suspiciously, "Princess Bei Er Na Dai can really enter the dream and manipulate the dream image of Huang Huang Beibei? How many times has she been kicked out?"

"The Tarot Club members aren't sure, they only know that after she entrusted Zhou Mingrui to investigate the teaching quality of the Dream Cram School, she was kicked out once. Whether she had been kicked out before, or how many times, she hasn't told anyone." Lu Mian repeated the content from the data, "What is certain is that the Tarot Club members have synchronized our situation with her, believing she is trustworthy and will provide help."

Franca said "Hmm":

"I hope it's true, so if Boss Huang really has a discerning eye or comes to harass me, I can ask her for help and let her restrain her father."

Regarding the integrity of Roselle Gustav and his dream image when it came to women, neither Franca nor Lu Mian had any confidence.

…………

In the afternoon, Xinhong Residential Complex, inside the rented house.

Lu Mian received a call.

After the exchange, he smiled at Franca:

"Successfully hired!"

"Phew..." Franca didn't hide her relief.

In this way, even if her offer was eventually denied by Boss Huang, the matter of contacting the "Fool" Mr. Dream image Zhou Mingrui through the Intis Group could continue to be pushed forward, just with much more difficulty.

Immediately after, Franca asked curiously:

"How much is the salary?"

"3500 for the first month of internship, 4500 after becoming a regular employee. Currently, it's just rotating to guard the front and back doors of the building, patrolling different floors, and watching the monitors. If transferred to a more important position in the security department, there will be a significant salary increase." Lu Mian repeated the content from the call, "The entry benefit is two sets of uniforms."

"The Intis Group is quite generous. Given the salary situation in this city and for a general security guard, it's not bad." Franca thought that the team would have a stable income and felt happy again.

She hadn't had time to worry about her own offer when her phone rang.

After picking up and listening for a few sentences, Franca gradually bloomed with a smile and used her free right hand to make a success gesture to Lu Mian.

Her offer had also arrived!

After a series of answers like "Good," "Yes," and "No problem," the smile on Franca's face suddenly froze.

After she hung up the phone, Lu Mian, who had clearly grasped the content of the call with a "Hunter's" hearing, didn't ask, waiting for Franca to speak for herself.

Franca said with a wooden expression:

"Internship is also one month, 6000, 7000 after becoming a regular employee, and there is a clothing allowance. The Intis Group is really quite generous.

"But..."

Speaking of this, Franca's lips moved a few times, and her expression became somewhat confused:

"But there is a daily dress code. In summer, it's a women's blouse, skirt, stockings, high heels..."

"Can you not wear them?" Lu Mian controlled his laughter and asked solemnly.

"No." Franca shook her head, "This should be a rule set by Boss Huang."

After speaking, she asked in a low voice:

"Can I not go? Let Yu Jianna go for the interview."

"Do you think she can get hired?" Lu Mian asked rhetorically.

Franca thought for a few seconds:

"No."

She immediately gritted her teeth:

"Can't let Boss Huang harass her!"

…………

Dechuang Garden Building 5, Room 2303.

Yu Jianna stood in front of the window, considering whether to sneak into Luo Shan's room today to conduct a further search.

She hesitated for a while and chose to wait a bit longer, because she felt that Luo Shan's current state was a bit strange, as she still possessed the side that guarded the residential complex. She was worried that her actions might stimulate Luo Shan, break that balance, and let Luo Shan be further influenced, losing her will to guard.

Although Luo Shan was only a dream image, Yu Jianna still couldn't bear to destroy the remnants of her beauty.

That persistence in guarding moved her.

"Perhaps she can still be saved? Perhaps, as long as she doesn't continue to rise and suffer heavier pollution, she can fully maintain herself? Hmm, having an Evil God's gift doesn't mean she will definitely turn bad, just like Lu Mian..." Yu Jianna had some such thoughts.
