Although he had already gotten a job, Yang Hua still went to Ping An Insurance Company for an interview. However, when he found out that more than 30 people had come for interviews before him, Yang Hua knew that his chances were slim.

After all, the term “first impression is the strongest” made a lot of sense during the interview. If the person who came first was not much worse than the person who came later, the interviewer would not easily change the candidate he had already decided on. Although Yang Hua was very confident in his own ability, he was never arrogant enough to think that he was definitely stronger than others.

Fortunately, he still had a guaranteed job. After experiencing so many failures, he finally had the chance to rely on his own ability and not the help and charity of others to survive. Thinking that he had accidentally found a way to make a living just now, Yang Hua, who had once again taken a bus back to school, could not help but touch the extremely precious business card in his pocket. He was extremely excited.

The bus ride from Ping An Insurance Company’s branch in City T to Lianhua University took about one and a half hours, including the time spent on the interview. When he returned to Qi Yuying’s house, Qi Yuying had already finished the script for that episode. She was excitedly holding a few pieces of clothing in her room and gesturing them on her body.

“You’re back!” As soon as Yang Hua entered, Qi Yuying’s excited voice was heard. “Come quickly. Help me see if I look good in this dress.”

“It looks good.” Yang Hua walked to the door of Qi Yuying’s room and immediately said with a smile. After he said the words “It looks good”, he saw that Qi Yuying was holding a light yellow dress with orange patterns.

“Humph! You haven’t even looked at it, and you’re already saying that it looks good!” Qi Yuying complained coquettishly.

“I… Hehe.” Yang Hua laughed embarrassedly. Indeed, he did not wait to see what kind of clothes Qi Yuying was holding before he spoke.

“Anyway… no matter what you wear, you look good. You don’t have to look to know.” Seeing that Qi Yuying was looking at him with a hint of resentment in her eyes, Yang Hua quickly explained.

“Yes! That’s more like it.” Yang Hua’s words hit the spot for Qi Yuying, and she immediately beamed with joy again. As she hummed a song, she compared the dress in front of the mirror as if she was dancing.

“Why did you suddenly ask me what you would look good in? Is it new?” Yang Hua did not understand why Qi Yuying was so happy and asked in confusion.

“No, of course not!” Qi Yuying’s smile was full of excitement. “Just now, a classmate from my university called me. She said that she wanted to invite a few of her classmates from the city to have a gathering. She has already found more than ten people and told me to go as well.”

“What? Didn’t you say that you don’t know anyone in City T?”

“We’re not acquaintances.” Qi Yuying was a little embarrassed. “I’ve been writing scripts since I entered university. I also rented a house from outside since my first year. I’ve been writing non-stop every day and had never lived in the dormitory. Other than in class, I rarely interacted with my classmates. I didn’t even know the name of the classmate who called until I asked. They must have found me last.”

“Then you’re really tough.” Yang Hua gave Qi Yuying a helpless smile. “If I didn’t know you, I would have suspected that you had some form of autism.”

“Hehe, I’m just about to attend their gathering. Besides, I had to earn my own tuition fees back then. What can I do? However, I was really mesmerized at that time and didn’t have any other thoughts.” Qi Yuying couldn’t help but look nostalgic when she recalled her university days.

“Yes, it’s good for you to make more friends.” Yang Hua said to Qi Yuying like an elder, “Don’t worry and go.”

“What do you mean by don’t worry and go? You have to accompany me!” Qi Yuying smiled smugly at Yang Hua.

“Why should I go? They’re not my classmates. Don’t make me pretend to be your boyfriend or something. You should find someone else for this job.” Yang Hua had read quite a few books, so he naturally knew quite a bit about such plots.

When Yang Hua said the word “boyfriend”, Qi Yuying immediately blushed. That was what she had thought at first. However, she was obviously much more thick-skinned than Yang Hua. Once her intentions were exposed, she immediately changed her words and said, “Who told you to pretend to be my boyfriend? I want you to be my bodyguard.”

“Think about it. I went to an engineering university, and more than half of my classmates were boys. If they find out that I don’t have a boyfriend, won’t they all pounce on me? If there’s anyone who wants to drink or gossip, you have to block them for me. Besides, when I come back tonight, do you have the nerve to let me walk alone at night?” Qi Yuying puffed up her cheeks and said to Yang Hua.

After Qi Yuying changed her mind, Yang Hua felt embarrassed to reject her. If he still refused to agree, it would seem like he was overthinking things. After thinking for a while, Yang Hua nodded helplessly. “Alright, I’ll go with you.”

As soon as Yang Hua nodded, Qi Yuying immediately hummed a song proudly and danced with the dress in front of the mirror. Seeing her look of anticipation and excitement, Yang Hua could only shrug his shoulders helplessly and run into the kitchen to make dinner.

Ever since she received the call from her classmate, Qi Yuying had been immersed in excitement. Of course, this excitement had a double meaning to her. Whether it was those classmates who hadn’t seen her for a long time who remembered to invite her to the gathering or to appear in front of her classmates with Yang Hua, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud when she thought about it.

After a sleepless night, Qi Yuying sat in front of the dressing table to dress up the next afternoon. Yang Hua had never seen Qi Yuying with makeup on before. After spending three to four hours, she finally finished dressing at five in the afternoon. He finally saw the power of a woman’s makeup.

In fact, Qi Yuying was already a first-class beauty without makeup. After adding some light foundation, drawing her eyebrows, and styling her hair, when she appeared in front of Yang Hua again, the latter almost couldn’t look away from her face.

And this kind of attraction was completely different from the temptation of sex. It was not to stimulate one’s senses, but purely to make one unable to ignore its existence with a sense of beauty. Even Yang Hua, who did not know much about aesthetics, had to admit that Qi Yuying could be described as “breathtakingly beautiful.”
