He's spoiled rotten; that wolf cub knows how to flirt and be affectionate.

As she pushed open the door, the conversation inside stopped abruptly, and the three people turned to look at her.

Qu Yi walked over calmly and sat down next to Bai Yan, at a distance that was neither too close nor too far.

"Ms. Xu, it's been a long time."

Xu Man smiled: "It really has been a long time since I've seen you."

"Yes, you said last time that you would visit me often, but you haven't gone yet."

"........."

Xu Man gritted her teeth inwardly. Didn't you tell me not to bother you?!

"I've been a bit busy lately, but I'll definitely visit you when I have some free time tomorrow."

"I'm busy, I might not have time to see you."

"…Then what are you even saying?!"

Xu Man wanted to get angry but didn't dare. She glanced at Bai Yan's expression and saw that he didn't react. She couldn't pretend to be wronged, so she could only swallow her anger.

"Is Ms. Xu here to visit Bai Yan on set today?"

"Last time I brought Lili to see you, you said Xiaoyan is often not at Ruijing Garden, so I thought I'd bring her to the company for him to see. This girl is very smart, she learns in no time."

Qu Yi looked at the woman next to Xu Man upon hearing this; she had met her once before.

Tang Li gave Qu Yi a perfect smile, knowing how to use her strengths and how to know which side of her was most beautiful.

“There are many smart people in the world, and Bai Yan doesn’t have to teach them all personally. The Bai family has always been strict and impartial, and never shows favoritism. Bai Yan should set an example. Why not let this young lady participate in the Bai family’s recruitment directly?”

Qu Yi, unable to see Xu Man and Tang Li's unpleasant expressions, turned to look at Bai Yan: "What do you think?"

Bai Yan chuckled: "That would be best. It's better to be fair, otherwise I'll feel uneasy."

Assistant Jiang, standing at the door, took in the two's back-and-forth performance and inexplicably felt...

—They actually go quite well together.

"Bai Yan!" Xu Man screamed. Bai Yan's cold gaze fell upon her, and she wilted again, moving her lips slightly. "Li Li is such a beautiful girl, and a graduate of a prestigious university. Where else can you find someone with those qualities..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was interrupted by Qu Yi, who raised an eyebrow: "Ms. Xu, are you implying that the Bai family hires people based on their looks?"

Turning to Bai Yan, she said, "Why don't we see if my face is good enough for a job at Bai's? I'd love a million-dollar annual salary."

"Only one million?" Bai Yan asked back.

"A million, or nine million."

"Quite an appetite."

"Always like this."

Bai Yan gave her a half-smile, then turned to Xu Man and said a few words.

Qu Yi was too lazy to deal with it anymore, so she got up, went out, and went to the bathroom.

While washing my hands, a slender figure appeared in the mirror.

Qu Yi straightened up and turned to look at her.

"Miss Tang doesn't look well. Are you sick?"

"You!" Tang Li gritted her teeth. "Why are you always getting in my way? How did my joining the Bai family get in your way?!"

“If all you want is to join the company, I naturally have no objection.” Qu Yi tore off a hand towel, dried the water stains, and threw it into the trash can. “But it seems you think there’s more to it than that.”

Tang Li was stunned: "You, you did that to Master Bai..."

"Don't misunderstand." Qu Yi walked past her.

"You are his elder, and you are related by blood!"

Qu Yi stopped in her tracks upon hearing this, and Tang Li seized the opportunity to catch up, intending to grab her arm. However, upon hearing a hissing sound, she looked around and saw a black scorpion crawling up from her fingertips.

Tang Li cried out and retreated, his face pale, not daring to approach Qu Yi any further.

Qu Yi didn't say anything, turned around and left.

A black scorpion, its tail swaying, crawled from the end of her hair to the top of her head.

[Host, she's such a coward.]

Most people are afraid of you; try being cute next time.

[Would pandas be okay?!]

If you want me to go to jail.
