His Cute Wife is a Little Crazy

Hu Lei felt accomplished when the evil emperor allowed her to take a seat. It seemed that her choice to flatter him instead of being a petty person had paid off. She strengthened her resolve to make a good impression to avoid embarrassing her father who had put in a good word for her. Even if she knew that the man before him was looking down on her, she could be the bigger person. Being a small subject was not a difficult role.

"Miss Hu, as you are aware, you are here under special circumstances. Though I cannot go against the wishes of an elder, your position will depend on your skill. As long as you have a place in the company, I will consider my obligations fulfilled. However, I hope you can be in a respectable position to avoid disappointing the expectations of those who interceded on your behalf." Mr Zhong spoke calmly but with a cold edge.

Hu Le would be stupid if she did not figure out the situation. This Mr Zhong was not his father's friend but the son to the said friend. He was clearly coerced into providing a position to her. He obviously did not think she had the right to be in his business. She wanted to cry. She also did not want to be here. She had another job and plenty of money. However, she did not want to disappoint her father's good intentions.

"I understand, Mr Zhong. I do not wish to be an inconvenience. However, I would like to be of some help to your company. I have limited time, but I believe I can make some contributions." She said.

Hu Lei felt satisfied with her response as a humble and helpful small subject. Her large innocent eyes stared at the emperor with clarity, but she completely missed the darkening of the handsome face and a strange form of amusement in his eyes.

Zhong Feng had not had this type of novel experience in his past. This little woman was here to request for employment. However, she lacked the humility and commitment that one would show when in need of work. He could not figure out the type of person she was. She did not seem like a spoiled child or a narcissistic person. In fact, her eyes were genuinely clear as she spoke those conceited words. Again, he did not think there was any appropriate response to her words.

"What contributions can you make, Miss Hu?" he asked.

"I understand that Etude Technologies has been making expansion efforts into the international market in relation to software and hardware products. I think you could benefit from my years of travel around the world. I speak multiple languages, and I have an understanding of numerous cultures. I also have some understanding of technology." She paused for a moment, as if contemplating a serious issue. "Well, I am also an exceptional writer, but I would like to be involved in something interactive."

His cold gaze did not waver from her face as she presented her case. She did not look like she was blowing her own trumpet. If anything, she looked like she was speaking cold facts. When she noticed his relentless stare, she blinked at his scrutiny and tilted her head in puzzlement. He felt his heart thump a little faster in his chest. For a short moment, he was caught up in her, in those eyes, held bewitched in the guileless gaze. A strange feeling that he found alien washed over him, leaving his throat dry and him looking at a certain small creature like she was a complex mystery.

As a powerful man, he guarded against the clouding of his mind and the lusts of the flesh. Businessmen who indulged in frivolities often found themselves in dire situations. He had seen all manner of women and he had seen countless tricks. However, he had never given in to amorous liaisons. The caution and alertness instilled throughout his life always kept him from letting go of himself and his self-control. Moreover, he had never felt an overwhelming urge to possess and keep.

However, he could not deny that he had felt something overwhelming and completely new. He had felt a certain beast in his core rise within him, wanting to snatch the woman before him and lock her in up in his cave. He tamped down that strange hunger with a sense of annoyance.

Though he had turned down his father's desperate setups, he thought a good match would be a reliable and cool woman with an air of maturity. After all, in business, success was influenced by the image portrayed. The little kitten before him… He smiled slightly in his mind at the thought before shaking his head. Why was he even thinking about this?

Looking at her confused face once again, he had that indescribable feeling. He cleared his throat uncharacteristically.

He needed to remove himself from this situation before…

"Do you have your CV?" he asked.

She took out a pristine envelope from her bag and gave it to him.

"That will be all, Miss Hu. Assistant Chen will get in touch with you once I have made my decision." He dismissed her.
