The CEO's loser wife: Rebirth of the villainous queen of alchemy Chapter 147 Sleepless nights Part 2

Chapter 147 Sleepless nights Part 2

"Are you serious??" s.h.i.+ Meng creased his eyebrows in frustration. The temperature in the room immediately dropped by a few degrees.

a.s.sistant Yang was trembling on the side. He had a complicated confused expression on his face.

The news which was supposed to put his boss in a good mood surprisingly turned around his att.i.tude to a complete frozen tundra.

s.h.i.+ Meng tossed the table weight near his hand in frustration. It hit the ground with a loud resounding thud.

Angela f.u.c.king Hissenger.

This woman... What more did he need to do to show that he was not interested in her...

Now, he couldn't even call her to reprimand her, because that would mean giving her the attention which she so desperately begged for.

s.h.i.+ Meng cursed his bad luck.

He dismissed his a.s.sistant and restlessly paced back and forth in his office.

The rain pouring its heart out in the background was only worsening his mood. His skin p.r.i.c.kled at the faint noises of the distant rumbling thunder.

This woman was going to be the death of him.

Suddenly, the bubbly face of Tang Yue came to his mind, and a tremor ran through his spine. His threatening quickened and his face turned ghostly pale.

Tang Yue... She had been picking on Su Lin for a really long time. He knew about it. But never did anything to stop it from happening.

And now... Tang Yue was the one who is dead.

Reality slowly dawned on him. He felt as if the misty fog enveloping his brain was clearing bit by bit.

s.h.i.+ Meng leaned against the humongous gla.s.s window and rested his forehead on the crystal clear pane.

His pitch-black iris glistened in the faint reflection of the distant lightning.

She didn't even take any money from me in the end? Why did she even marry me in the first place?

He then remembered their nauseating married life. She was always curled up in a corner, either in pain or in silence.

His eyes widened slightly. What about her cancer? Was it a lie or the truth? Several unanswered questions lingered in his mind.

For the first time, his paranoid heart considered the possibility of her cancer actually disappearing because of unexplained scientific reasons.

Cancer is a mysterious disease after all. She could have recovered somehow. Was she never lying to me? His mind wandered.

In this long span of 12 to 15 months, he had learned a lot about his ex-wife. Things he never knew when they were still married together.

Had he terribly misunderstood his ex-wife? If only he had paid attention to her when they were still together?

s.h.i.+ Meng shook his head as if he was trying to shake his confusing thoughts out of his mind.

"No. She is still bad news." He s.h.i.+vered at the recollection of that thin elegant woman throwing around five to six full-grown men like swatting flies.

After finis.h.i.+ng their very first makes.h.i.+ft board meeting, Luther, Monkey and Su Lin walked over to Luther's new restaurant.

The place was completely run down and needed a lot of makeovers to evolve into a fully functioning one.

Luther and Monkey immediately got down to business. They started by dusting and salvaging everything they could find.

Su Lin on the other side dusted a bunch of chairs and a table and set up her folders on it. She volunteered to finish interviewing for all the posts.

This was the most important step in setting up their business right now. They could even make do with this remote location, but they can't function well without capable employees.

And Su Lin had a unique method for doing this. All she needed from the applicants were answers to three simple questions.

The group had yet to get used to Su Lin's 'unique' methods, but then again, she was only going to pick people from a pre-approved set of resumes. So they just let her do what she wanted.

They were offering generous salaries for all positions, so a quite good number of applicants had shown interest in them, even with their start-up status.

Since it was already late afternoon, Su Lin just wanted to conduct interviews for her personal a.s.sistant position and postpone the remaining for the next day.

Around 4 in the evening, the interviews started and the candidates started trickling in one by one.

The first candidate was a tall and lean middle-aged man who was instantly surprised at the youthful look of the boss. Moreover, she was even a beautiful woman.

Wasn't he interviewing for the CEO's personal a.s.sistant?? He was confused but regained his composure quickly.

Su Lin's cold piercing eyes scanned the man from top to bottom, as she extended her hands and received the folder.

A few minutes of silence followed, after which her melodious voice rang out.

"What do you think about loyalty?"

The man stammered. What type of question is this? "Umm... To be ethical in work and work to the best of my abilities." He made up an answer on the spot.

Su Lin nodded. Much to the dismay of the man, her blank face did not reveal what she thought about that answer.

"Do you think you are fit for this position?"

This question he was prepared for. He immediately blurted out a long-winded reply, including his various qualifications, his accomplishments, and his career drive.

Su Lin again nodded simply. "Last question, how badly do you want this position?"

The man revealed a nervous smile and s.h.i.+fted in his seat. "I sincerely want to experience working in a start-up and helping you build something from the ground. So I really want this job badly."

Su Lin nodded and ended the interview right there. And the man walked out, not understanding the head or tail of what just happened inside.

And the same thing happened with the next few candidates until finally a brisk young woman with spectacles finally managed to satisfactorily answer Su Lin's questions.
