The young man seized her by the collar and walked into the building. “Let’s go. Aren’t you here for an interview in the personnel department today? I’ll go with you.”
“What does it matter to you that I go to the Personnel Department for an interview? I can go by myself!” Although the girl said this, her face was full of undisguised happiness. “Are you worried that I’ll be lost?”
“I’m worried about you causing a traffic jam, okay?” The young man grabbed the girl walked to the left and then dragged her to the right. “The Personnel Department is on the right!”
“Hey, you can hold my hand. It’s embarrassing to walk like this.” The girl complained and patted the young man’s hand. The young man didn’t dodge her. Though he didn’t smile, his handsome face was filled with happiness. He deliberately put on a straight face. “You can’t walk if I don’t drag you.”
“Hey, Jin Han, why do you always piss me off?” The girl struggled. “Go back. I’ll go to the interview myself!”
Seeing her walking forward in anger, Jin Han pursed his lips, caught up with her and took her hand. “Okay, I’ll hold you hand instead of dragging you.”
The girl smiled at Jin Han, put her hand in his hand whilst looking at him with a smile on her face and asked softly, “Your family doesn’t allow you to come here, right?”
“Well, they can control my body but they can’t control my heart, so now my heart is with you.” A smiled appeared on Jin Han’s poker face. The girl pretended to be afraid. “Oh, how scary! Are you a ghost or a human?”
“Alive, my body belongs to you; dead, I am your ghost, alright?”

“It’s a deal!” The girl took Jin Han by the hand. “No matter in the future, or in the future of the future, you can only be mine. I’ll never ever yield you to any other woman, understand?”
“Li Manyan, you’d better remember what you said today. If you dare to give up on me, you know what will happen.”
Li Manyan laughed. “Oh, my old heart melted again!”
Jin Han glared at Li Manyan. “I’m serious!”
…
Qiao Liang took Tang Xi to his office and told her that someone would come in and asked her to deal with it by herself. Before Tang Xi could figure out what was going on, Qiao Liang went to the meeting. She was sitting on the sofa and playing games with her cellphone. “So does he want me to help him with his work? Or will Qin Xinying come here?”
Thinking that Qin Xinying came to Qiao Liang’s office last time, Tang Xi frowned and thought that if Qin Xinying really came in, she should have a good talk with her!
Just as expected by Qiao Liang, Qin Xinying saw Qiao Liang and Tang Xi kissing from social media. Almost exploding with anger, she threw her cell phone to the floor and ground her teeth. “Damn it! Xiao Rou, since you aren’t going to take my advice, don’t blame me for being rude!”
She picked up her cell phone and dialed a number. “Find me some people…”
Tang Xi sat in boredom in Qiao Liang’s office for about twenty minutes. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door of the office. Tang Xi sat up in a hurry and put on her mask and hat. “Come in please.”
An Hao came in, smiled at Tang Xi and said, “The Personnel Department said that President Qiao arranged for two people to receive an interview from you in the President Office. Are you going to meet them now?”

A surprised gleam flickered across Tang Xi’s eyes. She raised her eyebrows and asked with doubt, “Receive an interview from me?”
“Yes, the Director of the Personnel Department brought them here himself. Would you like to meet them?” An Hao smiled.
Not knowing what Qiao Liang’s purpose of this was, Tang Xi nodded. “Ok, thank you. Let them come in please.”
An Hao smiled and said ‘You’re welcome’. Then she turned around and called the Director of the Personnel Department to come in. The director came in with two people. The girl among the two exclaimed “Miss Right!” as soon as she saw Tang Xi.
Tang Xi looked at the girl in bewilderment, and the young man who followed the girl pulled the girl by the collar, and said to Tang Xi, “I’m sorry, she suddenly sometimes goes crazy.”
Tang Xi shook her head with a smile and looked at the Director of the Personnel Department. The director was a man in his 30s, who looked reserved and tranquil. Tang Xi stood up and shook hands with the Director. “Hello, are they going to be interviewed by me?”
The Director nodded and said, “President Qiao told me this morning that there would be two people coming to receive the interview for designer and art designer of the Queen today, and he asked me to take them to the President Office to find you.”
Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “The Queen?” To her surprise, he had started to select talents for her company! God, she really wanted to give him a big kiss!
The Director of the Personnel Department smiled. “Yes, the President said so. Only I know about it, and no one else does.”
Tang Xi thanked the Director of the Personnel Department and saw him out. Then she invited the two people to sit down, took off her mask and hat and smiled at them. “Hi.”
Jin Han was a bit startled when he saw Tang Xi’s beautiful face but didn’t seem to be affected by her beauty. He nodded at her. “I’m Jin Han. She…”
“My name is Li Manyan!” Li Manyan stared at Tang Xi with golden stars in her eyes and exclaimed with excitement. “I wondered why you wore a mask and a hat. Now I know the reason. If you walk on the street revealing your face, you’ll definitely cause a traffic accident! Wow, you’re so beautiful!”
Tang Xi looked at Li Manyan in embarrassment. Jin Han smiled apologetically at Tang Xi and grabbed Li Manyan by the collar again, saying coldly, “You are here for the interview. Be quiet!”
Li Manyan finally remembered why she was here. She stopped smiling, straightened her clothes and sat properly.
Tang Xi felt this little girl was very funny. She sat on the sofa, smiled and looked at them. “Are you two lovers?”
“Eeeh?…” Li Manyan’s eyes lit up and she was about to speak when Jin Han grabbed her and said to Tang Xi, “If you don’t accept couples working together, I won’t apply for the job.”
“No,” Tang Xi smiled. “I’m just curious. May I see your resumes? By the way, you’d better show me your designs, thank you.”
When it came to her designs, Li Manyan immediately became normal. She took out two design drawings from her backpack and handed them to Tang Xi. “This is my award-winning design in the campus design competition. The other one is the costume I designed for today’s interview, named ‘Bravery’.”
Tang Xi looked at the golden dress. It was like an imperial robe that would empower you when you wore it on your body. She smiled. “Li Manyan? Welcome to the Queen.”
