As a villain who transmigrated, all I want is to survive.

Xiaoxue was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved her hand and said, "Young Master, this is not in accordance with the rules."

"Rules are rules, but people are flexible. Sit down and eat," Mu Qingfeng said with a smile, inviting Xiaoxue again.

"You're not still bothered by what just happened, are you? What's the big deal? Go to the beach, there are plenty of handsome men and beautiful women showing off their best figures. Just pretend you just went to the beach."

Mu Qingfeng waved his hand dismissively.

This made Xiaoxue feel embarrassed, but Mu Qingfeng's words did make sense.

Gulu.

An untimely voice rang out.

Xiaoxue immediately covered her stomach.

I was so busy after picking up Bai Wanru this morning that I didn't even have time to eat.

After that, she was summoned back by Butler Li to cook.

She looked at Mu Qingfeng with a slightly embarrassed smile and forced a smile.

Mu Qingfeng found it somewhat amusing, raising his hand to clench his fist to hide his laughter.

But his eyes turned crescent-shaped, betraying him.

He coughed lightly and said, "Alright, my parents aren't home today. Sit down and eat with me; no one will know."

He knew Xiaoxue's concerns.

No matter how good your employer is to you, you must know your place as a servant.

Xiaoxue hesitated for a few seconds, pursed her lips, but ultimately couldn't resist the delicious food.

After the two had a hearty meal, Xiaoxue tidied up the dishes and utensils in the kitchen and prepared to say goodbye to Mu Qingfeng before leaving.

She had just stepped out of the kitchen when Mu Qingfeng called her back.

"Xiaoxue, I heard from Butler Li that you also graduated from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics?"

Mu Qingfeng sat on the sofa and looked up at her curiously.

Xiaoxue's heart instantly went on high alert.

“Yes, that’s right,” she answered softly.

Mu Qingfeng sat up straight instantly, beckoned to her, and gestured for Xiaoxue to sit down on the sofa opposite him.

"No need, young master, I'll answer the questions standing up." Xiaoxue lowered her head, trying her best not to meet Mu Qingfeng's gaze.

She was afraid that Mu Qingfeng would catch the subtle expressions on her face.

If Mu Qingfeng discovers her relationship with Bai Wanru, she's doomed.

Mu Qingfeng didn't press the matter. He stroked his chin and asked curiously, "Do you know someone named Bai Wanru?"

Luckily it was autumn, and she was wearing long sleeves and pants, otherwise Mu Qingfeng would definitely have noticed that Xiaoxue had goosebumps all over her body.

Even the hair on his head was standing on end.

When Mu Qingfeng saw Xiaoxue's slightly frizzy bangs, he spat out the water in his mouth before he could even swallow it.

"Is there really this much static electricity in autumn?" Mu Qingfeng hurriedly wiped the water off her body.

Xiaoxue immediately reached out and covered her bangs.

A blush appeared on her face.

"Young Master, I've heard of the person you mentioned, but we haven't had any dealings." Xiaoxue tried her best to appear calm.

Of course, she couldn't completely say she didn't know him; that would be too fake.

Mu Qingfeng then asked, "You should be in the same year, right? And you even have the same major."

"Yes, she and I were actually classmates, but Bai Wanru was very outstanding back then. We were just nobodys, and we had nothing to do with her." Xiaoxue lowered her head, her eyes darting around.

Damn, how does this young master Mu even know that the two of them are in the same year?

Why would a lowly cook like her investigate so thoroughly?

No, does this mean that Young Master Mu is preparing to deal with Wanru?

You must remember to tell Wanru about this.

Of course, Mu Qingfeng had no idea that Xiaoxue had thought so much.

It was just that Mu Qingfeng had looked at everyone's information while organizing the household servants' files a while ago.

The Mu family has high requirements for hiring servants, especially young servants, who must all have at least a bachelor's degree.

Xiaoxue, because of her exceptional academic background, was remembered by Mu Qingfeng.

At the time, Mu Qingfeng was puzzled as to why Xiaoxue, a student from a prestigious university with a top-tier major, would come to the Mu family to work as a humble cook.

Later, Butler Li explained Xiaoxue's family situation to Mu Qingfeng, and Mu Qingfeng understood.

"Xiaoxue, you don't need to underestimate yourself. Bai Wanru is indeed very capable, but you are not bad either," Mu Qingfeng comforted her with a smile.

"Have you ever thought about going back to the workforce instead of staying in this little kitchen of the Mu family?"

Mu Qingfeng tilted his head to look at Xiaoxue, trying to look directly into her eyes.

Xiaoxue stared at Mu Qingfeng in shock.

What does the young master mean by this? Does he know that he has found out about her relationship with Wanru and wants to kick her out of the Mu family?

Xiaoxue quickly said, "Young Master, I'm very happy to be a cook in the Mu family. I can't live without this job."

Upon hearing this, Mu Qingfeng realized that Xiaoxue had misunderstood, and waved his hand, saying, "That's not what I meant."

He took a document from beside him, placed it on the coffee table, and pushed it towards Xiaoxue.

"This is an interview application form. I have one more referral spot available at the company this year. Of course, a referral doesn't mean you'll get a direct job; it just gives you an interview opportunity. Whether you pass the interview depends on your abilities."

Mu Qingfeng smiled when he saw Xiaoxue's incredulous look.

Xiaoxue's hands trembled slightly.

She picked up the interview application form, her eyes slightly moist.

Over the years, she has always longed to return to the workplace and do what she truly loves.

Instead of being trapped in a small world like we are now.

Although she has a good educational background, she hasn't been to work at the company for two or three years.

Most large companies would not accept her for such a long period of unemployment.

If I go to a small company, the salary will not be enough to cover my mother's medical expenses.

Her hands gradually clenched, and the interview application form became a little wrinkled.

For the first time, she began to doubt what Bai Wanru had said.

Is Mu Qingfeng really a terrible person?

How could a young master who cares about the servants at home be a bad person?

Could this be a trick used by the young master?

Did the young master already know her purpose in the Mu family and deliberately let her into the company to lure her and Wanru into a trap?

Mu Qingfeng, unaware that Xiaoxue had taken his kindness as a trick, quickly said, "Please don't tear it. The interviewer certainly doesn't want to receive a dirty application form."

Xiaoxue hurriedly smoothed out the slightly wrinkled area.

She needs to discuss this with Wanru before she can make a decision.

She smiled, bowed deeply to Mu Qingfeng, and said, "Thank you for the opportunity, young master. I will think it over carefully."

Mu Qingfeng also smiled; he truly did not want any talent to slip away before his eyes.

"If I can get into the company, my future salary will definitely not be lower than it is now, and it will only get higher and higher."

Xiaoxue nodded vigorously.

"Young master, do you need me to prepare dinner tonight?"

She had originally planned to leave, but because of Mu Qingfeng's actions, she asked one more question.

"No need, I'll be at the company this afternoon," Mu Qingfeng replied.

Although he could avoid Bai Wanru by staying at home and not going out, just like he avoided Su Xueyi.

But now that he's the chairman of a company, he can't be a coward.
