Among them, the oldest candidate was already 28 years old. Feeling that she had no hope of being hired, Xu Xiaoyun sighed softly as she looked at Mu Bai with her beautiful, large eyes before leaving.
“Ah, little handsome guy, bye-bye. My contact info is on my resume. Even if you don’t hire me, you can still chat with me when you’re bored, right?”
Her soft and seductive voice made Mu Bai involuntarily look up and carefully examine the girl before him.
After a moment, he realized that Xu Xiaoyun was indeed the most attractive candidate he had assessed with his detection skill earlier.
In terms of charm and allure, she was on par with Xu Jinhuan. Her entire being radiated the enticing aura of a ripe peach.
However, Xu Jinhuan was quite reserved, likely due to her long career in game planning, which didn’t require much interaction with unfamiliar men.
Although she possessed an irresistible charm, she neither displayed it nor seemed to know how to.
Xu Xiaoyun, on the other hand, was different—like a temptress, captivating with every glance and smile.
“Alright, I’ll contact you if I have time,” Mu Bai nodded lightly and responded politely after glancing at her a few times.
After all, he had seen many beautiful women. Though Xu Xiaoyun was attractive, she didn’t stir any strong emotions in him—not even the faint excitement he felt when facing Xu Jinhuan.
“Okay, little handsome guy, bye-bye!”
Xu Xiaoyun smiled and happily left after hearing his response.
Watching her leave, Mu Bai casually picked up the resumes of Xu Xiaoyun and the other candidates. Though he had no intention of following up, he decided to take them with him.
After all, the resumes contained a lot of personal information—it wouldn’t be appropriate to leave them at the hotel.
After gathering the resumes, Mu Bai wasted no time and quickly walked out of the VIP building.
Once outside, he got into his Bugatti Veyron and started the engine.
This time, he didn’t return to his villa in Xuanwu Zhongshan. Instead, he drove directly to the Royal Club.
Yes, though he hadn’t said anything, Mu Bai did feel a bit nostalgic for Mu Xiaoxiao, whom he hadn’t seen in years.
After all, she was a girl who had always treated him well.
With a distinctive low growl, the Bugatti Veyron roared out of the VIP building’s parking area.
As one of the world’s top three hypercars, the Bugatti Veyron immediately attracted attention upon appearing.
Many onlookers gasped in admiration, including the five female candidates who had been watching Mu Bai since he left the building.
When they saw the legendary supercar, they swallowed hard, eyes wide with surprise.
“Oh my god, a Bugatti Veyron! I heard even the base model costs nearly 30 million yuan!”
“Who exactly is this guy we were applying to work for? I already thought he was impressive, but clearly, I underestimated him.”
“So when the boss said an important client was coming, he wasn’t kidding.”
“I really hope I get hired!”
Of course, Mu Bai had no idea about the girls’ whispered discussions. He remained calm as he drove away from the VIP hotel.
Before he knew it, it was already past 11 a.m., and the bright sunlight bathed the entire city of Nanjing.
Meanwhile, in a high-end private room at the Royal Club, a dozen young men and women in their early twenties were gathered around a table, chatting and laughing.
Among them, a 21- or 22-year-old girl sat in the center of a group of female friends, scrolling through her QQ chat history.
From time to time, she wrinkled her little nose and showed a charming smile.
When some friends raised their glasses to toast her, she simply smiled politely and waved, indicating that she didn’t drink.
She was tall, with long hair cascading over her shoulders, slender and straight snow-white legs, and a curvy yet elegant figure.
However, what truly captivated all the young men at the table was her fox-like enchanting beauty.
Her face alone was enough to topple kingdoms in ancient times.
This breathtaking beauty was none other than Mu Xiaoxiao.
In terms of pure looks, even Han Mengyun had little chance of surpassing her.
At this moment, Mu Xiaoxiao held her phone, doing nothing but chatting with Mu Bai.
However, since Mu Bai hadn’t replied yet—likely still on his way—she kept scrolling through their recent conversation over and over.
“Uh, Xiaoxiao, are you chatting with some big celebrity from the entertainment industry?”
A handsome young man at the table, who had attracted the attention of many girls, smiled confidently as he asked her.
“Huh? No, I’m chatting with Mu Bai. Hmph, after all these years, my little brother still doesn’t miss me as much as you guys do.”
Hearing the question, Mu Xiaoxiao reluctantly looked away from her phone, smiled, and replied.
Her answer made many of the young men at the table secretly sigh in relief before they eagerly joined the conversation.
Yes, everyone here knew that Mu Bai was Mu Xiaoxiao’s younger brother.
Because they shared the same surname and Mu Xiaoxiao treated him so well, almost everyone subconsciously assumed they were real siblings.
But they weren’t.
“May all lovers become siblings” wasn’t just an empty phrase.
Thankfully, she was just talking to her “little brother.” The way she had looked at her phone earlier had made some of them think their goddess had a boyfriend—an unsettling thought.
Even though they knew that Mu Xiaoxiao was now a famous celebrity, far beyond their reach, male possessiveness worked in strange ways.
Even if something was impossible, they still cared.
“Here, Xiaoxiao, try this signature dish from the Royal Club.”
“Wow, Xiaoxiao-jie, can you sign an autograph for me? I love your role in The Beauty Record of Great Qin!”
“Xiaoxiao, can we take a photo together? I want to show off to the rest of our classmates later.”
Around the table, most of her classmates—both male and female—enthusiastically chatted with Mu Xiaoxiao.
After all, for ordinary people, a celebrity was like someone from a different world. Just having the chance to dine with her was something worth getting excited about—and even bragging about.
Mu Xiaoxiao responded with a polite smile, engaging with each of them.
Meanwhile, one person at the table remained silent, merely observing.
This person was Mu Xiaoxiao’s manager—Zhang Yanyun, a legendary agent in the entertainment industry.
Zhang Yanyun actually disliked celebrities attending these casual reunions.
In her eyes, they were completely pointless.
Attending a charity auction would be far more beneficial—honestly, even staying home and sleeping would be better.
However, since Mu Xiaoxiao wanted to come, she couldn’t force her otherwise and had to accompany her.
At this moment, Zhang Yanyun was curious to see what kind of remarkable person this Mu Bai—whom Mu Xiaoxiao often mentioned—actually was.
But as soon as the thought crossed her mind, she shook her head with a smile and dismissed it.
After all, in her opinion, Mu Bai was just a young man who had come to Nanjing from the countryside to work.
How outstanding could he really be?
