Chapter 84: Campus Recruitment
Seeing Ye Xiao burst into laughter, Li Mengyue immediately shot her a sharp glare.
Ye Xiao understood what Li Mengyue meant right away.
What could she say? Should she praise Li Mengyue for being a thrill-seeking older sister? Her act was surprisingly convincing.
At that moment, Ye Xiao suddenly remembered she had to attend Binhai University’s recruitment fair today. A quick glance at the time revealed she was completely late!
In a flash, Ye Xiao panicked and pulled out her phone. It had somehow been set to silent mode, and Shen Yunchu had already blown up her call log.
“Oh no, this is bad!”
Ye Xiao turned pleading eyes to Li Mengyue.
“Ye Xiao, stop looking at me like that!” Li Mengyue frowned immediately.
“Uh, I have to attend a recruitment fair at Binhai University today. It’s really important,” Ye Xiao hastily explained.
“It’s fine,” Li Mengyue replied casually, then paused for effect.
“That recruitment fair runs the entire day. Besides, we’re still hungover and can’t drive! If the police catch us, it’ll count as drunk driving!”
In the end, the three of them crammed into a taxi.
Ye Xiao sat uncomfortably on the edge of her seat, careful not to fully settle down—her sore behind wouldn’t allow it. Thankfully, Jiang Qingyue helped her out from the side.
As for the two so-called older sisters, each harbored her own thoughts. Apart from the occasional casual remarks from the driver, the atmosphere in the car was awkwardly tense.
“Xiao Xiao, there’s no need to rush finding a job. If you miss this opportunity, there will be others. Right, Mengyue?” Jiang Qingyue said lightly.
Ye Xiao froze. Clearly, they thought she was going to look for a job.
As for what Ye Xiao and Jiang Mengwei had mentioned yesterday about signing contracts, Jiang Qingyue hadn’t caught any of it. She had been solely focused on Ye Xiao the whole time.
“Hey, you two! Do you seriously think I’m going there to job hunt? I’m the recruitment lead for Yun-Xiao today!”
“Sure, sure, you’re the recruiter, not the applicant,” Li Mengyue responded dismissively, clearly not believing her.
The company hosting today’s recruitment was Yun-Xiao. Just because Ye Xiao’s name shared the character “Xiao”, that didn’t mean she had any connection to it.
By that logic, Li Mengyue might as well claim she owned the Dream Moon Hotel.
Nobody would believe such a whimsical statement.
Ye Xiao could tell from their expressions that they didn’t take her seriously. She didn’t bother explaining further—her sore backside left her too exhausted to care.
Shen Yunchu had prepared a professional outfit for Ye Xiao at home, but thanks to being detained by Li Mengyue last night, she now had to attend the fair in yesterday’s casual wear.
When they finally arrived at Binhai University, Ye Xiao felt a wave of relief. At last, she could stand and free her aching backside.
The recruitment fair was set up in the university library, which had been specially closed for the day.
Jiang Qingyue and Li Mengyue, who had no intention of job hunting, had only come to accompany Ye Xiao.
Meanwhile, Shen Yunchu was busy running around in a frenzy. She had no experience recruiting employees and was recording every candidate and interview session on her phone so Ye Xiao could review them later.
When Jiang Qingyue and Li Mengyue arrived, their presence surprisingly didn’t draw too much attention.
Most of the attendees were senior students focused on job opportunities. They knew their limits and refrained from provoking two women ranked among the university’s campus beauties.
Such stunning women were often beyond the reach of ordinary people.
Take, for example, Li Mengyue’s antics of pretending to steal for the thrill. If brought up during a matchmaking event, it would likely scare off most suitors.
Of course, that was hypothetical. Li Mengyue wasn’t desperate enough for matchmaking. Even if she were, she wouldn’t air such escapades publicly.
For these students, finding a job was the priority. Joining a newly established company like Yun-Xiao was a rare opportunity. Becoming part of Yun-Xiao now meant securing a position as a founding member with limitless prospects.
Ye Xiao wasted no time and headed directly toward the temporary meeting room designated for interviews.
“Hey, you look unfamiliar. Are you a first-year student? Cutting in line isn’t proper!”
A queue stretched out from the meeting room entrance, with hundreds of students awaiting their turn. The recruitment notice had specifically mentioned Yun-Xiao as the company behind My World, attracting candidates from various disciplines.
A self-proclaimed justice warrior stepped forward to stop Ye Xiao.
Given her youthful appearance, most won’t assumed Ye Xiao was a university student. Encountering her elsewhere, they might not have thought so.
In their eyes, My World was a cash cow that could reshape the gaming industry.
“You dare stop me? Do you even know who I am, random uncle?” Ye Xiao retorted, her tone condescending.
The boy’s lips twitched. He’d been told he looked young his whole life, yet here he was, called “uncle” for the first time.
“Hold on. Which department are you from? I’m speaking nicely—why won’t you listen? Everyone’s in line, and you think you can just cut?”
Ye Xiao frowned, her patience wearing thin. “Who told you I’m cutting in line?”
“Then why are you heading forward? Just line up at the back like everyone else,” the boy argued.
All eyes in the line turned toward them.
“For your information, I’m here to oversee the interviews. I’m with Yun-Xiao!”
“Oh, really? Then I must be Yun-Xiao’s CEO,” the boy scoffed.
The once-quiet library grew noisier as whispers spread.
“Little girl, how about this? I’ll let you take my spot,” a kind student offered.
Ye Xiao gave her a glance, committing her face to memory.
At that moment, Li Mengyue and Jiang Qingyue approached.
Seeing the boy pulling at Ye Xiao, both frowned.
“What are you doing?”
Though Li Mengyue’s words were addressed to both, her gaze was fixed on the boy.
Under her intense stare, he couldn’t help but shudder.
“Xiao Xiao, are you okay? He didn’t do anything to you, did he?”
Ye Xiao shook her head. “I’m fine. A small fry like that isn’t worth bothering about.”
The boy’s lips twitched. If not for the two seniors present, he would’ve argued further.
Now, with three eye-catching women gathered, all attention was squarely on them.
