Chapter 48: Zhu Li Wants to Separate

~8 min read 1,471 words

July 16, this Monday, a long queue formed at the entrance of Jiachen Dasha.

Young men and women, each holding a resume, looked up expectantly at the lobby on the first floor.

Guo Yanru only posted a recruitment notice, and for just a few positions, over a thousand people came to apply.

Because the offered conditions were simply too tempting.

Base salary 5000, plus one insurance, assigned apartment housing, guaranteeing each person an independent bedroom.

The most attractive part was the allocated housing.

Although it wasn't one apartment per person, it could save a large sum of rent money.

This amounted to adding two or three thousand to the base salary.

Adding the insurance cost, it amounted to a monthly income of over ten thousand.

In 2012, the monthly average wage in Yanjing was just over 5000 yuan.

In Yanjing, a place where every inch of land is precious, many people's hard-earned money, at least one third, went to the landlord.

As for important management positions.

Ordinary people need not apply; basically they are all headhunted from outside by headhunting companies.

Before Guo Yanru returned from Xiangjiang, she had already entrusted it out.

Now everyone has arrived, all female.

Perhaps past experiences made Guo Yanru always feel a hint of disdain toward men in the workplace.

After a morning of interviews, the resumes that passed the preliminary screening were sent to Guo Yanru's desk.

There were over three hundred in total.

For ordinary staff, Guo Yanru had no gender discrimination.

As the saying goes, men and women working together don't get tired!

Moreover, the technical personnel the company needs are basically male applicants.

First, after roughly glancing through the over three hundred resumes, Guo Yanru picked up a pen.

Those she selected got a check mark on them.

In less than half an hour, she selected 55.

These were the lucky ones chosen by Guo Yanru.

The assistant immediately took the resumes and left the office, handing them to the HR department.

Next, the HR department began calling to notify them one by one.

Compared to those big companies, this recruitment process is really too simple.

5:30 in the afternoon.

Guo Yanru reached the underground parking lot via the elevator.

She pressed the unlock button on the car key, and the red Porsche sports car ahead flashed its lights a few times.

Guo Yanru walked over quickly in her high heels.

At that moment, Wen Keke and Zhu Li also arrived at the underground garage.

The two watched Guo Yanru's slender waist sway as she elegantly got into the car.

Then the car made a 'humming' sound, after leaving the parking spot, a right turn, and it smoothly disappeared ahead at the bend.

"She's Lin Feng's sister."

Wen Keke said, frowning slightly.

Zhu Li pursed her lips, saying it's not a sister at all, clearly a lover's relationship.

In her view, Guo Yanru owes everything she has now solely to that relationship.

To Zhu Li, this is not derogatory.

A woman being able to make a man spend money on her is also a skill.

The two got into the car.

Wen Keke fastened her seatbelt, started the car, then glanced at Zhu Li in the passenger seat and said, "Her name is Guo Yanru, she's the CEO of Qingfeng Capital. Today, a lot of people came to their company's job fair—I've never seen so many people come to apply before!"

Zhu Li nodded and joked, "With such great conditions, I'd want to switch jobs too! Too bad, my specialty doesn't match."

"Don't think wildly, our current job is stable, and the queen values us; maybe we could even get a promotion, so work hard!"

Wen Keke said that and then drove off.

Zhu Li fell into silence.

But her heart was not at peace.

To be precise, she had developed deep jealousy toward Guo Yanru.

In her original plan, through prolonged contact with Lin Feng, she hoped to at least make him feel fond of her.

Then she would look for an opportunity……

But now, Guo Yanru's appearance made her realize that someone had actually gotten a step ahead of her and even achieved the goal.

"Compared to that woman, although my face isn't as pretty as hers, I also have my own strengths……"

Thinking this, she lowered her head and glanced at her own chest.

The seatbelt had sunk into it.

Returning to apartment 1706, Building 5, Jinhu Huayuan.

After bathing, Wen Keke came out with her hair blown dry.

Seeing Zhu Li sitting dazed on the sofa, Wen Keke frowned and asked, "Zhu Li, what's wrong?"

Zhu Li came to her senses, smiling and said, "Keke, I think it's time for us to part ways."

"Ah~"

Wen Keke looked at Zhu Li with a surprised look, "You want to resign?"

Zhu Li shook her head and said, "No! I feel the job is stable now, our monthly salary plus bonus exceed ten thousand, I want to move out and live alone."

I know you have a slight cleanliness obsession, while I'm usually careless, not as meticulous as you, so……

Wen Keke laughed and said, "I don't mind!"

Zhu Li laughed and said, "Silly girl! We've always lived together, how can we find boyfriends? Or else, if we each find a boyfriend, would one of us have to move out and live in a hotel?"

Wen Keke thought for a moment, "Finding a boyfriend? Still too early!"

"That's you, not me—I can't wait any longer. Keke, don't be angry!"

After saying that, Zhu Li pulled Wen Keke up, with an apologetic look.

Wen Keke gave a "puchi" laugh and said, "If you want to move out, just move out! We work together, we see each other every day anyway! On weekends, we can also hang out like before!"

Zhu Li hugged Wen Keke tightly and said, "Keke, you're so thoughtful! If you were a man, that would be great!"

After they agreed to live separately, Zhu Li returned to her room and closed the door.

Then she took out her phone and dialed Lin Feng's number.

At that moment, Lin Feng was in the living room of the large villa, sitting around the round dining table with Guo Yanru, Guo Yanqiu, Guo Yanwen, and the mother of the three siblings, Qin Li.

The newly hired nanny is a not-years-old middle-aged woman, surname Tian, named Tian Cui.

Tian Cui was introduced by Aunt Wang and can cook well.

"Aunt Tian, the dishes are enough, come sit down and eat!"

Looking at the table full of dishes, Lin Feng called out.

Tian Cui smiled and waved her hand, "There's also a soup! It'll be ready soon."

After saying that, she turned and went to the kitchen.

Lin Feng picked up his chopsticks and laughed, "Let's not wait for her, let's eat first! I'm so hungry my front is sticking to my back."

Lin Feng has basically been staying at Zhao Xiaoyang's Fierce Tiger Gym these days.

Why?

To train the body!

Since moving into the villa, Lin Feng has found himself somewhat unable to cope.

Or maybe it's because his body is too weak.

Over the past two or three months, he actually hasn't trained much; although he has talent, it's been three days fishing, two days drying nets.

Such training is utterly useless.

Through these days of continuous training, the effect is very noticeable.

His energy has become increasingly vigorous.

He hadn't eaten a few bites when his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing the caller ID was Zhu Li, he immediately picked up his phone and left his seat.

"You go ahead and eat, I'll take this call."

Lin Feng said that, then while answering the phone he walked outside the villa.

"You're not rooming with Keke anymore—did you two have a fight?" Lin Feng asked with a smile.

Zhu Li said in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Keke is such a nice girl, how could I bear to quarrel with her! It's just that the salary has gone up, I want to live alone, feels more free. Handsome Lin, I don't know if you'd be willing to do business with me?"

Business came knocking, Lin Feng naturally wouldn't refuse, thought for a moment, and said, "Jinhu Huayuan still has one unit..."

Before he could finish, Zhu Li said, "I don't want to live in the same neighborhood; can we change locations? Of course, the living conditions must be just as good, otherwise I won't pay!"

Lin Feng nodded and said, "Sure! Tomorrow afternoon after work, I'll drive you to take a look."

"Alright, then it's settled, goodbye!"

Zhu Li said that and then hung up.

Lin Feng laughed and shook his head, "This woman seems to be in a hurry..."

As for Zhu Li's intention, Lin Feng actually knows full well.
