Shen Yueran stood in her new office and looked around casually.
The room was neat and spacious. Everything inside was arranged properly.
It was obvious that this office had been prepared carefully.
But Shen Yueran did not care much about any of this.
Her thoughts were somewhere else entirely.
Right now, the only thing on her mind was how to finish the deal with Old Man Li as quickly as possible, obtain the 711 whiskey factory and its legacy, and then live peacefully ever after.
That was her lifelong dream.
Thinking of it, Shen Yueran silently sighed in her heart.
"Ah…"
"It was still a long way to go."
At the same time, inside the meeting room of Huo Corporation's security department, the employees, managers, and secretaries were already gathered there.
They had all been informed in advance that Huo Corporation had signed a cooperation agreement with another company.
That company was called Mingxiao Security.
Because of this, everyone had been called over to meet the person who would be working together with their department from now on.
As they waited, discussion naturally started inside the room.
Some were talking openly, while others lowered their voices and whispered to the people beside them.
"Didn't you also hear about what happened this morning?"
At those words, several people nearby immediately showed interest.
"You mean the people downstairs?"
"Yes. Those people looked more like bodyguards mixed with gang members."
"I heard that too."
"Exactly. Their aura was too strong. They didn't look like ordinary security personnel at all."
Not only that, the news from yesterday was also still spreading throughout the company.
Yesterday, their president had personally sent off some important big shot.
That matter alone had already stirred a lot of discussion inside Huo Corporation.
Now, with what happened this morning added on top of it, even more people became curious about Mingxiao Security and the person who had come from that company.
Among the crowd, two women sitting together looked at each other.
They were Lin Xueyao and Su Wanqing.
The two of them were the only women in the entire security department.
Lin Xueyao crossed her arms and said softly, "Have you thought about this? What kind of company is this Mingxiao Security? I've never heard of them before."
Su Wanqing shook her head. "I haven't heard of them either."
Then she lowered her voice slightly and added, "But since this company was specially selected by the higher-ups, it should not be ordinary."
Lin Xueyao nodded. "That's true. We can only wait patiently."
The others nearby were thinking the same thing.
Since the higher-ups had personally made the decision, there was no point guessing too much now.
They would know soon enough.
After some time, the door of the meeting room finally opened.
The room, which had been full of discussion just a moment ago, gradually quieted down.
Xu Chen walked in first.
Then, behind him, another figure slowly walked in.
The moment that figure appeared, the entire room fell completely silent.
A woman stopped at the center of the room.
Xu Chen stood by her side.
Everyone looked at the person in front of them in shock.
She was so beautiful that for a moment, many of them simply stared in a daze.
She stood there quietly.
For a few seconds, nobody reacted.
Originally, they had thought that the person coming from Mingxiao Security would be some tall and rough-looking muscle head.
After all, this was a private security company.
Who would have expected that the person standing before them would be such a beauty?
Just as Xu Chen was about to introduce her, Shen Yueran spoke first.
"I'm Shen Yueran from Mingxiao Security."
She looked at everyone in front of her and said, "Happy to work with all of you."
Her introduction was short and direct.
After she finished speaking, the room remained silent.
No one answered immediately.
It was not because they did not want to.
It was because most of them were still too shocked.
Seeing that the room had gone strangely silent, Lin Xueyao and Su Wanqing were the first to recover.
The two women immediately stood up and walked toward Shen Yueran with bright smiles on their faces.
Lin Xueyao spoke first. "Hello, I'm Lin Xueyao."
Su Wanqing quickly followed. "Hello, I'm Su Wanqing."
The two of them were clearly happy.
In a security department full of men, it was not easy being the only two women all the time.
Now that another woman had joined them, they naturally felt much friendlier right away.
And especially when that woman was such a great beauty, the feeling became even stronger.
The closer they got to Shen Yueran, the more stunned they became.
Her face looked even more beautiful from up close and there was a kind of charm around her that made it hard for people to look away.
Lin Xueyao smiled warmly and said, "If you need any help in the company, you can come to us anytime."
Su Wanqing nodded at once. "That's right. We'll help however we can."
Shen Yueran looked at the two of them and gave a slight nod.
Then a mischievous smile appeared on her face.
"Then I'll have to contact you two beautiful ladies very soon."
The moment those words came out, both Lin Xueyao and Su Wanqing were caught off guard.
Being praised so directly by Shen Yueran in front of everyone made both of them blush slightly.
Su Wanqing smiled lightly and said, "Then we'll look forward to your arrival."
Lin Xueyao also laughed softly.
The atmosphere in the room immediately became much more relaxed.
After the two women stepped forward, the male employees seemed to snap out of their shock one after another.
For some reason, it was as if something had suddenly gotten into all of them.
One by one, they also began introducing themselves to Shen Yueran.
"Hello, Miss Shen. I'm Zhang Wei."
"I'm Chen Hao."
"My name is Liu Bin."
"I'm from the operations side."
"I handle part of the internal security arrangements."
Each of them hurried to introduce himself, afraid of being left behind by the others.
Faced with this scene, Shen Yueran did not show any impatience.
She simply gave each of them a nod and a small smile.
Her attitude was neither too close nor too distant.
But with just that alone, the likability everyone felt toward her rose even more.
After all, her face was the kind that could attract both men and women alike.
Nearby, Xu Chen stood silently and watched everything.
As he looked at the enthusiastic crowd, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
These idiots.
If you saw her true self, would you still behave like this?
The moment that thought appeared in his mind, Xu Chen could not help remembering the video again.
That terrifying scene.
The person in the video and the person standing here smiling lightly at everyone seemed almost like two completely different people.
If he himself had not seen that video with his own eyes, would he also have been deceived by her face like the others?
Xu Chen thought about it seriously for two seconds.
Then he came to a very honest answer in his heart.
Probably yes.
Thinking of this, Xu Chen suddenly felt a little speechless.
Meanwhile, the introductions in the room continued.
The more everyone spoke with Shen Yueran, the more favorable their impression of her became.
She was beautiful, calm, polite, and did not put on any airs.
At least on the surface, she seemed very easy to get along with.
It did not take long for the atmosphere in the meeting room to become lively.
Many people had already completely thrown away the earlier guesses in their hearts.
What muscle head?
What fierce bodyguard?
The person in front of them was clearly a goddess.
Only Xu Chen, standing at the side, remained the only one who knew that behind this beautiful face was a true devil.
No matter what, from today on, Shen Yueran had officially entered Huo Corporation.
And from the looks of it, everyone's first impression of her was very good.
