Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

Chapter 430 Interview with Deng Huairou

Yu Ru arranged for Ming Shisui to drive Ming Shisui to the company. She felt it was inappropriate to have Ming Shisui frequently ask Liu Bujing for help, so she often used her position as the boss to ask Liu Bujing to take on the task of picking up and accompanying Ming Shisui.

However, Liu Bujing doesn't seem to be doing very well with this task.

Ming Shi checked the time on her phone and realized that ten minutes had passed since she got in the car, but they hadn't traveled very far. Since getting his driver's license, Liu Bujing hadn't had many opportunities to drive because he frequently traveled to different places for filming. Therefore, he drove incredibly slowly, like a snail.

After hesitating for a moment, Ming Shisui whispered to Liu Bujing in the driver's seat, "Brother Liu, you drive so slowly, I'm going to be late."

Liu Bujing glanced at her, then focused on driving. He seemed calm, but his neck was actually red. "I'm sorry, Xiaosui, I haven't had many opportunities to drive before, so I'm not very familiar with it. I'll drive faster now."

"No, it's better not to. You're not familiar with driving and you're driving fast. What if we get into an accident? Let me drive, Brother Liu. You can drive back slowly later."

Liu Bujing knew he was really slow, so he quickly agreed to her suggestion.

……

After dropping Ming Shi off at the company, Liu Bujing drove back to Yu Guiyuan. He needed to report the success of sending people to Yu Ru.

"It's forty minutes slower than expected." Yu Ru glanced at the time displayed on her phone's lock screen. "Why is it so slow?"

"Boss, I'm sorry, I'm not very good at driving, so I drove very slowly and came back late," Liu Bujing said apologetically.

"So Ming Shi Sui wasn't late, was he?"

"No, no, Xiao Sui drove us there, and we arrived very quickly."

Yu Ru nodded slightly and said nothing more. "Then go down and finish the planting work assigned to you. Be at the entrance of Ming Shi Sui Company at 5 p.m. sharp to pick her up."

"Okay, I see."

Yu Ru watched his departing figure thoughtfully. After a moment's thought, she called him back and said, "Liu Bujing, I'll give you a month to learn how to drive fast. You can drive the car that was assigned to you as you please, as long as you can learn. If you're still so slow next time and cause trouble, you can't stay here anymore. I don't keep idle people here."

"Yes, I will study hard, boss," Liu Bujing replied solemnly.

Duxing Education Company

Ming arrived at the company shortly after, and the client for their first A-level order also arrived. This client had met her before at a friend's house and knew she was a good teacher; they had originally wanted her to tutor their child, but she had gone to study abroad, so the idea hadn't come to fruition. This time, upon seeing her, they didn't even ask for an interview, immediately requesting her outright—it all went smoothly.

Having gotten off to a good start, Ming Shi was all smiles as she focused on preparing for her next client's interview. The second time slot was for a B-level order, with the client asking for 700-900 yuan. Although the price was considerably lower than her own worth, the client's home was close to hers, making the trip less strenuous, so she signed up anyway.

At 11:20, the receptionist came to Ming Shi's office to inform her to meet with the client for the B-level order. Ming Shi immediately packed her things and went to the reception room.

When Ming Shisui pushed open the door and saw the customer's face clearly, he was stunned.

The face she tried so hard to remember appeared: Deng Huairou.

She kept this matter on her mind, and would take out the photos she got from Yu Ru from time to time to look at them, just to make sure she remembered Deng Huairou's face. She was 100% sure she wouldn't mistake her, and she also remembered Deng Huairou's child.

Deng Huairou was slightly displeased to see the teacher staring at her blankly without greeting her. "You're the teacher here for the interview?"

Ming Shi quickly snapped out of her daze. "Yes, Ms. Deng, I'm Teacher Ming. This is my resume, please take a look." She handed the folder she was holding to Deng Huairou, and then quickly greeted her child as well, "Hello, little friend."

"Hello, teacher," Cheng Youli greeted politely.

As Deng Huairou took the folder, she looked Ming Shisui up and down. "Teacher Ming, have we met before? Why do you act like you know me?"

"Ah, no, you're so beautiful, I was a little stunned for a moment," Ming Shi said, trying to appear calm.

Deng Huairou smiled but didn't say anything, and that was the end of it.

The interview was essentially a trial lesson for the client's child, usually lasting less than ten minutes. Ming Shi's attendant had never felt those ten minutes were so long. Yu Ru's grudge was her grudge. The thought of her enemy being so close, and having to suppress her emotions and patiently deal with her enemy's child, made her feel suffocated. Her anger surged, her mind became a mess, and she almost lost her composure on the spot.

Fortunately, her professionalism and experience allowed her to complete the process smoothly. After saying goodbye to Deng Huairou and her son and leaving the reception room, Ming Shi felt dizzy and lightheaded. She returned to her office, sat in her chair, and stared blankly at her resume on the desk.

Once she collected her thoughts, she realized that her lecture had sounded like a jumbled mess. She stomped her foot in frustration, thinking, "Oh dear, oh dear, if I went to her house to give the lecture, I could have kept an eye on her! Oh dear, oh dear, how could I be so stupid?"

Ming Shi was somewhat troubled. Of course, she would want the opportunity to infiltrate her enemy's home. However, this time she had a competitor, and she didn't know whether Deng Huairou would ultimately choose her or another teacher.

"Oh dear, oh dear..." Ming Shi sighed repeatedly, and as she thought about it, she couldn't help but cry. She had already planned out what she would do by infiltrating Deng Huairou's house. She could find out about her family's situation and even poison Deng Huairou. But she was so useless; she lost her composure as soon as she saw her. She didn't know if this job would even work out.

As she was feeling sad, a message from Yu Ru popped up on her phone.

Yu Ru: Yun Jixing brought back a few boxes of liqueur-filled chocolates, they're pretty good, do you want some? Come over after get off work and pick one up.

Ming Shi wiped away her tears and replied: Honey, I won't go. I had several interviews today, and I'm so tired. I want to go home first. I'll come to you tomorrow to get it.

Yu Ru: Who offended you during the interview?

Ming Shi Sui: No, baby. Baby, have you had lunch?

Yu Ru: Are you about to eat? Have you eaten yet?

Ming Shi Sui: I'm preparing too. Honey, you go eat first, I'm going to eat too, I have an interview later.

Yu Ru: Goodbye.

Yu Ru happened to be using her computer. After ending her chat with Ming Shisui, she immediately hacked into Ming Shisui's company's surveillance system and pulled up the two segments of her interview. When she saw that her teaching demonstration was with Deng Huairou's son, she instantly understood everything. Then, she pulled up the surveillance footage from Ming Shisui's office and saw her crying.
