Episode 5

Ye Qingcheng panicked, feeling an unprecedented sense of fear mixed with intense humiliation and anger. Previously, Lu Yun had helped her, causing her to have a better impression of him. With the idea of making a friend even if he wasn't her brother, she struck up a conversation with him. Who would have thought that this would happen? Ye Qingcheng felt like she had escaped a pack of wolves, only to enter a tiger's lair. Fueled by her anger and struggling to stand up, what she saw next stunned her. Lu Yun had a little secret - a purple lightning-like birthmark on the outside of his thigh. Everyone at the orphanage knew about it, as did his seven sisters. So when Ye Qingcheng saw the purple lightning, she knew that the young man in front of her was her younger brother, Lu Yun, whom she hadn't seen in fifteen years. "Little Lu Yun, it's really you! I thought I would never see you again," Ye Qingcheng exclaimed, standing up and embracing Lu Yun, tears streaming down her face like an overflowing river. Lu Yun's eyes also welled up with tears. Nothing had changed - everything was the same. Big sister was still big sister, and the fifteen-year separation had only brought them closer. Lu Yun felt moved, vowing to protect his sister with all his might for the rest of his life. However, he couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong. Quickly, he realized what was off and said with a bitter smile, "Sis, let me put on my pants first."

Ye Qingcheng's pretty face turned red, but soon she glared at Lu Yun again. "What's there to be embarrassed about? Sister has seen it before!"

"It's not just us, sis. There are outsiders here," Lu Yun explained.

"Ah!" Ye Qingcheng exclaimed, suddenly realizing that there were others around them.

She hurried over to check on He Shun and found that he was still unconscious. Ye Qingcheng breathed a sigh of relief. He Shun probably couldn't imagine that he missed a priceless sight during this time.

The Porsche 911 revved up again. Ye Qingcheng was driving, with Lu Yun in the passenger seat.

The siblings had so much catching up to do. Ye Qingcheng was most concerned about how Lu Yun survived the big fire fifteen years ago and what he had experienced in the past years.

Lu Yun answered all her questions. However, he did not mention anything about his five-year battle, only that he had been practicing with an old Taoist on the mountain for the past fifteen years.

After listening to his story, Ye Qingcheng gave him a sly look and said, "Are you telling me fairy tales? Sister doesn't believe it."

To be honest, Lu Yun was also helpless. Luckily, Ye Qingcheng didn't investigate further and excitedly said, "If your other sisters knew you were still alive and grew up to be such a handsome young man, I wonder what their reaction would be."

"Hey hey, keep it to yourself. I plan to surprise them one by one," Lu Yun replied.

"You really are a little rascal," Ye Qingcheng said with a knowing smile.

The two of them chatted all the way, and time flew by. Before they knew it, they had already arrived at Qingcheng Group.

As they entered Qingcheng Building, everyone looked at them with disbelief. When did their ice queen ever get so intimate with a man?

They were heartbroken. Tonight, countless people were destined to lose sleep.

The first thing that Ye Qingcheng did when she returned to the company was to kick the human resources manager, Liu Zhifeng, out.

She never dragged her feet. Ye Qingcheng was a decisive woman like that.

The position of the human resources manager was now vacant. Ye Qingcheng winked at Lu Yun and said, "Xiao Lu Yun, would you be interested in playing the role of a manager?"

Lu Yun smiled bitterly and shook his head. "No, thank you. I don't have any experience in managing a company."

Although he was the king of Tiansha, and the 36 generals under him were all renowned for their strength, there was still a difference in managing a company.

To manage Tiansha, all you needed was great strength, but to manage a company, you needed all kinds of rules and regulations. Lu Yun wasn't good at these things.

However, Ye Qingcheng said, "It doesn't matter. It's just a nominal position. If there's anything you don't understand, Angel will teach you."

Gu Anqi was Ye Qingcheng's secretary, and the two of them had a good relationship. In the company, they were superiors and subordinates, but outside of work, they were best friends.

Since her big sister said so, Lu Yun had to agree for now. If he felt that it wasn't suitable, he could withdraw at any time.

Just as they were talking, Gu Anqi knocked on the door and walked in.

She was a sexy woman, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, dressed in an office lady outfit. Her plump jade legs were tightly wrapped in black stockings, swaying with every step she took. Pink-framed glasses covered a beauty mark at the corner of her eye. Overall, Gu Anqi's looks were quite good, second only to the aloof goddess Ye Qingcheng in their company. However, after a brief glance, Lu Yun shifted his gaze away. In his heart, no woman could compare to his seven sisters.

"Anqi, you've come at just the right time. Let me introduce someone to you," Ye Qingcheng said with a smile. "He's my brother Lu Yun. I'm planning on giving him the vacant position of manager. What do you think?"

Following Ye Qingcheng's gaze, Gu Anqi took a glance at Lu Yun but her expression was somewhat inscrutable. She had heard colleagues gossiping outside earlier about how the president had brought back a young, handsome man. Gu Anqi didn't believe it, as she knew the president had extremely high standards and not just anyone could enter her sight. But now it seemed that the president had indeed fallen.

"President Ye, there's something I don't know if I should say or not," Gu Anqi said tentatively. Although they had a good relationship, she still addressed Ye Qingcheng as "President Ye" in the office.

"We're all on the same side, just say it!" Ye Qingcheng said with a smile.

So, Gu Anqi pushed up her glasses and said, "I think that since the company is about to go public, it's best not to make any sudden changes to the management, especially the personnel department manager position. It's better to leave it empty than to let Mr. Lu take over."

"Oh? Can you give me a reason?"

After considering for a moment, Gu Anqi spoke two words: "Public Perception."

"Are you also thinking that I keep a little white face named Lu Yun?" Ye Qingcheng was very wise and immediately understood her meaning.

Gu Anqi said: "It's not that I think so, but everyone thinks so."

The company's initial public offering was imminent. If news broke out that Ye Qingcheng helped a little white face take the place of an old employee and caused a loss of reputation for the company, it would be disastrous.

How could Ye Qingcheng not understand this? But she didn't explain too much and simply waved her hand saying, "I've decided. From now on, Lu Yun will be our company's human resources manager. Anqi, take him to familiarize himself with the environment."
