Qingfeng Li meets Wanqiu Xia, a director at Ice Snow Corporation, who offers him a job. He then goes to his new home with his wife, Xue Lin, who treats him coldly and forbids him from entering her room. Qingfeng, the Wolf King, feels frustrated and disconnected from his new life. He contacts Alice from his Wolf Fang Clan via computer, learning that the Tiger King has come to Huaxia.
"Tiger King, where are you running off to, you b*tch?!"
Qingfeng Li's eyes suddenly snapped open. He vaulted from the bed, launching a fist forward.
*Boom!*
The table before him instantly exploded into countless fragments.
This table, crafted from tempered glass, was designed to withstand a force of 250kg.
Seeing the shattered remnants, Qingfeng Li managed a wry smile.
He had momentarily forgotten that his current location was no longer the Wolf Continent, but Huaxia.
The Tiger King represented his most significant adversary. The mere thought of him even infiltrated his dreams. Now that the Tiger King had infiltrated Huaxia in secret, a life-or-death confrontation was inevitable.
"What a fine day the sun is today," Qingfeng commented, his eyes narrowing as he observed the beaming sun. He then changed his attire and stepped outside.
Meanwhile, Xue Lin was seated at the dining table, partaking in her breakfast – a simple glass of milk.
Normally, the mansion had a housekeeper, Ms. Zhang, living on-site. However, she had taken a few days off due to family matters. Consequently, with no one to prepare a meal, Xue Lin was left with only milk.
Xue Lin possessed a delicate and captivating countenance, her red lips curved slightly upwards. The white milk cascaped over them, disappearing into her. Witnessing her drink was, in itself, a captivating sight.
*Gulp.*
Qingfeng's stomach rumbled audibly. It was evident he was famished. He hurried to the kitchen, only to find it barren. Opening the refrigerator yielded nothing.
Only a solitary glass of milk remained, already consumed by Xue Lin.
With the housekeeper absent, there was no one to procure groceries.
Qingfeng prepared to venture out for sustenance. But as his hand reached into his pocket, an expression of awkwardness bloomed on his face.
Having to make a hasty return to Huaxia, he had brought no money whatsoever. His departure involved boarding the plane completely unprepared.
"Umm... darling, would it be possible for me to... borrow some funds from you?" Qingfeng inquired, touching his nose with a hint of embarrassment.
He felt a distinct awkwardness in asking his wife for money.
"You consume my food, reside in my home, and I even covered the 20 yuan for our marriage registration. How can you possibly still have the audacity to request money from me?"
Xue Lin's brow furrowed, and she fixed Qingfeng with an icy stare. Disbelief was evident in her beautiful eyes.
*You are the heir to the Li Family... Your family's wealth exceeds a hundred billion, yet you solicit funds from me? Isn't that utterly ludicrous?*
"Darling, could you perhaps lend me 100? I shall repay you 200 by tomorrow."
To avert starvation, Qingfeng could only resort to a humble plea.
Indeed, the Li Family commanded assets in the hundreds of billions. However, regrettably, these resources did not belong to Qingfeng nor were they accessible to him.
His current request to borrow money from Xue Lin stemmed solely from his lack of alternatives.
A singular coin can sometimes confound a hero; one must occasionally yield to prevailing circumstances.
"I will not part with a single cent. If you require funds, seek employment elsewhere."
Xue Lin's gaze remained frigid. She then rose and departed.
She held no respect for idle men lacking ambition.
Furthermore, she had her own work to attend to and lacked the time to humor him.
*Sigh. As the fabled Wolf King, I am disdained by a mere woman.* Qingfeng felt a profound sense of dejection.
*How could a grown man possibly starve to death?*
*I suppose I must seek employment.*
Donning his camouflage attire, Qingfeng exited the premises.
"Finding a job is incredibly challenging!" Qingfeng visited several establishments, only to be turned away from each.
Eastern Sea City stood as a global metropolis, boasting a robust economy and a dense population, with numerous companies operating within its limits.
However, the recruitment standards of these firms were exceptionally stringent, typically demanding a Ph.D., Master's degree, or at the very least, a Bachelor's.
He eventually discovered a company that did not mandate a degree, but it was a tech firm that favored candidates with three years of prior work experience, or a minimum of one year.
After visiting over a dozen companies without success, Qingfeng felt increasingly frustrated.
*Damn it, if anyone from the Wolf Fang Clan were to learn of my inability to secure employment, I'd become a complete laughingstock. Thank heavens no one witnessed this.* He felt a flicker of relief.
"F**k, it's unbearablely hot." Beneath the relentless sun, Qingfeng continued his job search along the city streets.
He had foregone breakfast. If he failed to find work, lunch would also be out of the question.
Muttering to himself, Qingfeng Li ambled along the thoroughfares.
[Seeking Sales Associates - All Genders Welcome. Age Range: 20-40. Must be healthy and possess an attractive appearance. Free meals and accommodation provided, along with insurance and paid holidays.]
Qingfeng Li's eyes suddenly brightened. Below a towering building, approximately twenty stories high, he spotted a recruitment notice.
The advertisement had been posted by Ice Snow Corporation, a prominent enterprise within Eastern Sea City, valued at several hundred million yuan. The company was known for its excellent benefits and compensation.
"I'll give this company a shot then."
A slight smile touched Qingfeng's lips as he made his way toward the imposing structure.
Upon glimpsing the advertisement, Qingfeng noted that Ice Snow Corporation occupied the entire first to third floors of the building, with the remaining floors allocated to other enterprises.
After walking about seven to eight meters, Qingfeng encountered a queue of roughly ten individuals, evidently there for job applications.
Each applicant was required to complete a form before proceeding to an interview room.
He obtained a form and meticulously filled out his name, age, height, and other fundamental personal details.
"Bro, are you also here pursuing Xue Lin?" A portly gentleman behind him suddenly placed a hand on Qingfeng's shoulder and inquired with a knowing wink.
"What do you mean by that?" Qingfeng inquired, his brow furrowing slightly in confusion.
"Come on, bro, no need to act. Xue Lin is renowned as Eastern Sea City's premier beauty. The majority of applicants are drawn here because of her. Isn't that why you're here too?" The chubby guy's tone carried a hint of disdain, as if he believed Qingfeng was being insincere.
Qingfeng offered a silent smile. Xue Lin was his wife, after all.
Why would he need to 'court' her?
He hadn't anticipated that the very company he was applying to was run by his wife. It seemed fate had a peculiar way of crossing paths.
A frown creased Qingfeng's forehead, and he felt a sudden urge to leave. Working at his wife's company struck him as rather awkward, especially the prospect of them encountering each other regularly.
"Next up, applicant number 19, Qingfeng Li," a clear, sweet voice announced.
Just as Qingfeng was preparing to depart, he heard the announcement. During his conversation with the chubby guy, the initial ten applicants had already completed their interviews; it was now his turn.
"Don't dawdle, come in!" A beautiful woman ushered Qingfeng briskly into the interview room.
Upon entering, a subtle fragrance greeted his senses. He looked up and was met by the astonished gaze of a long-haired beauty.
"It's you." Both individuals spoke in unison, their eyes wide with disbelief and a touch of bewilderment.
The long-haired beauty was none other than Wanqiu Xia.
Could this meeting be a twist of fate?
Wanqiu Xia's cheeks flushed, a delicate hue of red suffusing her eyes. She had genuinely believed their paths would not cross again, making this reunion all the more unexpected, almost as if destined.
However, recalling their prior encounter on the bus sent a flutter of embarrassment through her, and her heart began to race. She felt like a flustered young girl completely smitten.
She had developed a rather favorable impression of the young man before her.
"Are you here as a job applicant?" Wanqiu took a deep breath, striving to quell the bashfulness welling within her. She managed to ask.
"Yes. And are you the interviewer here?"
"That's correct. I am Wanqiu Xia, the Director of the Sales Department. I'm overseeing the recruitment process for the Sales Department."
"Oh, I see."
Qingfeng Li nodded, a sudden realization dawning upon him. He recalled the name card Wanqiu Xia had given him on the bus, which clearly stated her title as Director of the Ice Snow Corporation's Sales Department. He had completely overlooked this crucial detail.
