Seeing the reaction of the two, Li Qianfan was startled and asked in a soft voice, “Sister-in-law, do you two know each other?”
Meng Lin first gave the man a careful once-over, then softly explained to Li Qianfan, “Yes, he was my classmate in college. Unexpectedly, he also works here. What a coincidence.”
Turned out to be sister-in-law’s classmate.
Without delay, Li Qianfan’s gaze fell upon the man and began to size him up carefully. The man was about 1.7 meters tall, wearing a neat suit, with hair slicked back, looking quite presentable—but his face left much to be desired.
The man’s face was pocked and pitted, like the surface of the moon, and he also had a fat head and big ears, making his appearance extremely unattractive.
“Old classmate, long time no see!”
Upon seeing Meng Lin, Yao Qiang’s eyes lit up with an expression of sheer surprise; he had never imagined that the college beauty would come to interview at his workplace.
After many years, Meng Lin seemed to have grown even more beautiful.
Tsk tsk, such a chest, such a figure, truly a top tier beauty, even better looking than the women at the private clubs.
“Yao Qiang, long time no see, do you work here?”
Meng Lin asked curiously.
Yao Qiang nodded immediately, saying, “Yes, I am the manager in charge of recruitment here. I usually interview employees and coordinate the staff for various positions. When you called and said your surname was Meng, I really didn’t expect it to be you.”
“I didn’t expect it either!” Meng Lin said with an awkward smile.
“And this is?” Yao Qiang’s attention shifted to Li Qianfan and he asked curiously.
“Oh… this is my younger brother. He’s not busy with anything, so he came to interview with me,” Meng Lin quickly explained.
“I see, come on in, let’s go sit down and talk!”
Yao Qiang immediately made a welcoming gesture.
Although Yao Qiang was very enthusiastic, Li Qianfan always felt there was something off about him; this guy’s glances towards his sister-in-law were full of lecherous thoughts, seemingly harboring dubious intentions. It seemed that with this guy around, it wouldn’t be a good choice for his sister-in-law to work here.
However, with Yao Qiang present, Li Qianfan didn’t say much, planning to talk things over with his sister-in-law after the interview.
Quickly, under Yao Qiang’s lead, Li Qianfan and Meng Lin arrived in the break room.
Yao Qiang was very hospitable, bustling around with tea and water. As he handed Meng Lin her tea, his sleazy gaze kept drifting down into her neckline, an invasive look that made Meng Lin quite uncomfortable, causing her to quietly fasten the top button of her blouse.
The two didn’t start talking about work right away but caught up with each other’s current lives.
Upon learning that Meng Lin had married Li Dalong, Yao Qiang was slightly taken aback, jealousy clear in his eyes. He said, “I didn’t expect you to be taken by that guy Li Dalong. I heard he’s not doing so well lately, lost a lot of money in his business, they say.”
“How… how did you know that?”
Meng Lin was startled, her gaze at Yao Qiang filled with surprise.
Lighting up a cigarette, Yao Qiang smirked and said, “In a small place like Taoyuan County, there are some things you learn about even if you don’t want to. I was dining with a classmate the other day, and he told me about it.”
Bad news really does travel faster than good!
Meng Lin’s face colored with embarrassment as she said, “Yes, the business lost a bit of money, but it’s just a loan from the bank, with low interest. We’ll pay it back slowly.”
“Even with low interest, owing so much makes it hard to get back on your feet,” Yao Qiang sneered and said, “Besides, that guy Li Dalong isn’t very capable to begin with. What did you see in him anyway?”
“Watch your words!”
Li Qianfan already disliked Yao Qiang and seeing him insult his brother Li Dalong, he was instantly displeased.
Similarly, Meng Lin also felt extremely uncomfortable, she said, “Yao Qiang, don’t talk about Dalong like that, or I really will fall out with you.”
Yao Qiang cast a glance at Li Qianfan, a flash of malice in his eyes, but it quickly disappeared. He feigned an apologetic clap of his hand to his mouth and said to Meng Lin, “Oops, sorry, sorry, old classmate, don’t be mad. I’m just like this, my mouth runs away with me, I often speak without thinking. Don’t take it to heart.”
“Let’s talk about work.”
Meng Lin swiftly changed the subject.
“Okay, then come with me to the office to fill out a form,” Yao Qiang said, glancing at Li Qianfan beside him, and added, “Just let your brother wait in the lounge. Some work, because it’s confidential, can’t be overheard by others.”
“Alright.” Meng Lin nodded and stood up.

Just as Meng Lin was about to follow Yao Qiang, Li Qianfan immediately grabbed her arm, looking at her seriously, “Sister-in-law, be careful. If anything happens, just shout and I’ll be there immediately.”
“Don’t worry, Yao Qiang just likes to talk nonsense. He was pretty decent when we were in school.”
Meng Lin reassured Li Qianfan and then followed Yao Qiang to the office. When she saw the luxurious decoration of the enormous office, she felt a slight surprise; she hadn’t expected Yao Qiang to be doing so well for himself, to have such a large office.
Seeing the shock in Meng Lin’s eyes, Yao Qiang’s face was filled with pride. He motioned for Meng Lin to sit on the sofa, then retrieved a form from his office desk drawer, placed it on the coffee table in front of her, and with lecherous eyes, he said, “Meng Lin, fill out the resume.”
“Okay, sure,” Meng Lin picked up the carbon pen on the table, beginning to diligently fill out her resume.
Yao Qiang sat close by, close enough to Meng Lin to clearly smell her unique and faint scent, causing his face to reveal an expression of pleasure. Even without perfume, she smelled that good; perhaps, this was the so-called fragrance of a beautiful woman indeed.
Then, Yao Qiang carefully looked Meng Lin up and down, observing her beautiful face and her voluptuous figure, his eyes filled with intense longing. She was the epitome of a perfect woman; one couldn’t find a single flaw.
If he could have such a woman in his bed and enjoy her, wouldn’t that be death by bliss?
Ever since becoming a manager at Heavenly World, Yao Qiang had exploited quite a few women, but none of them could measure up to a top-quality beauty like Meng Lin.
Moreover, back in school, Yao Qiang had a particular fondness for Meng Lin. He dreamed of having something happen between them, but she was too popular at the time, and he was so inconspicuous that he never even dared confess to her.
Who would have thought that in the end, it would be Li Dalong, that kid, who won her over and married her?
He failed to win her over in school, but now, an opportunity had arisen, and as a married woman, Meng Lin would probably be even more thrilling to play with, wouldn’t she?
At this thought, Yao Qiang became even more excited. His eyes shifted slightly, and he asked, “Meng Lin, I see that you don’t have any work experience in the past two years, have you been a housewife all this time?”
“Yes, I’ve been at home for the past two years, not working,” Meng Lin replied.
“Suddenly deciding to work, is it because Li Dalong is in heavy debt and feeling the pressure?” Yao Qiang inquired.
“Well… of course there is pressure with so much debt, but thankfully, Dalong and I don’t have kids yet, and as long as we both work hard, we’ll be able to pay it all back soon,” Meng Lin responded while continuing to fill out her resume.
“If you’re short on money, I have a way for you to earn some, a million in three months!”
Yao Qiang said, the corners of his mouth turning up in a quiet tone.
Hearing this, Meng Lin abruptly looked up at Yao Qiang, her face showing surprise as she asked, “Yao Qiang, what kind of job pays that much?”
“Would you be willing to be my lover? If you agree, I’ll give you three hundred thousand a month!”
With lustful eyes, Yao Qiang gazed at Meng Lin’s pretty face as he spoke.
