Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Negotiating Terms

She didn’t know where the problem lay. Logically, with her decent education and strong foreign language skills, there was no reason she couldn’t find a job.

Moreover, even the training school where she used to work part-time shut her out.

Once again, Bai Yiran began to doubt her abilities.

Seeing that Bai Yiran couldn’t find a job, her uncle wanted to help her find a position at his company.

Bai Yiran thought there shouldn’t be any problem this time. Her uncle was the sales manager at his company, so getting her a junior position shouldn’t be an issue.

To her surprise, the message her uncle brought back was to ask if she had offended anyone recently.

The reason being, her uncle had barely mentioned her name before the company’s senior management firmly rejected her, almost costing him his own job.

At this point, if Bai Yiran still didn’t understand what was happening, she would be too naive.

No wonder she had been hitting walls everywhere, no company dared to hire her, and she nearly got her uncle fired.

Among the people Bai Yiran knew, who else could orchestrate all this but Leng Yichen!

When Bai Yiran called, Leng Yichen was in a meeting.

Leng Yichen looked at the caller ID on his phone, a slight smile playing at the corner of his mouth.

"What’s up?"

Leng Yichen had a very pleasant voice.

"Let’s meet,"

Leng Yichen could hear that Bai Yiran was very angry.

"Okay!"

"You decide the time and place, let me know when you’ve decided!"

Hearing Bai Yiran’s cold and distant tone, Leng Yichen’s aura also turned icy.

The people in the meeting room could clearly feel the change in Leng Yichen’s presence, the oppressive atmosphere made them dare not breathe heavily.

"I’ll have Wang Hai pick you up at seven in the evening."

"No, I’ll go by myself!"

"You better not test my patience!" Leng Yichen seemed to have lost his patience, his beautiful eyebrows slightly furrowed, his tone full of indisputable certainty.

"Alright, I understand!"

Bai Yiran eventually compromised, knowing that in the contest of strength, she was destined to be the loser against Leng Yichen.

At seven in the evening, Wang Hai’s car arrived punctually outside her grandmother’s community.

Having not seen him for some time, Bai Yiran appeared a bit uneasy, awkwardly greeting Wang Hai.

This time Wang Hai was driving a Rolls Royce Phantom, a luxury car that looked particularly out of place parked outside this ordinary old neighborhood.

Not knowing if anyone saw her get into the car, Bai Yiran expressed her displeasure at Wang Hai driving this car, preferring the previously used Range Rover which was at least more common.

Bai Yiran didn’t know where they were heading, nor did she care to ask. After all, she was going to meet Leng Yichen. It wasn’t as if he would sell her.

The car continued driving, gradually leaving the bustling city, and finally stopped in front of a lakeside villa.

Looking at the villa, Bai Yiran saw that the only wide pathway led to the villa’s entrance, surrounded by the lake, with mountains and greenery in the distance. Despite being night, the area was brightly lit, truly a beautiful place.

"Madam, the boss is waiting for you inside." Wang Hai said, then drove away.

Bai Yiran walked down the pathway into the villa and saw Leng Yichen sitting on the sofa, looking at her.

"Have you eaten?" Leng Yichen’s voice was still gentle and pleasant.

"I have something to say, I want to..."

"Whatever it is, we can talk after dinner." Leng Yichen directly interrupted Bai Yiran, firmly pulling her to the dining table.
