Revenge Sevenfold

Just at the age of twenty-six, he was already a big shot whose company, the Lu Corporation, entirely dominated the stock market.

His name was listed as one of the wealthiest men alive in the whole world; he had a face that made the girls who saw him instantly fall in love, and he belonged to a family whose status and power in politics made them the last people you want to cross with.

With that kind of great fortune, one had to wonder if the Great Dragon King had saved several countries in his past life.

"L—Lu Shen?" Zhang Wei stammered.

Cold sweat started to form on his back, and he looked at the closed door of his office with fear.

"Miss Hui is the Great Dragon King\'s woman?"

On the other side of the phone, Manager Fang was looking pale, his eyes still remembering the short text message he had only received a few minutes earlier. It only listed the location of a coffee shop that was under their company, a girl\'s name, and a brief warning.

But it was enough to scare him shitless.

"Yes!" Manager Fang snapped at the phone, wondering if he was hard of hearing. "Don\'t hire that girl! Treat her well, but immediately make her leave. Leave a good impression!"

"Yes sir! Right away sir!" Zhang Wei straightened his back like a military soldier taking orders, but his face looked like he swallowed something sour.

Don\'t hire her, but leave a good impression? Treat her well, but immediately make her leave? How was he supposed to do all that?!

Zhang Wei calmed himself a bit after Manager Fang hung up. He stared at the mahogany door that separated him from his office, remembering just how beautiful the girl on the other side was.

No wonder she became Lu Shen\'s woman. She was a goddess after all! What a failure on his part to not realize her importance. It was truly a case of having eyes, but failing to recognize Mount Tai!

Hui Yin was getting impatient when the door finally opened, and Zhang Wei came in. She smiled at him, but his head was bowed, so he didn\'t see it.

Hui Yin frowned.

He looked different than earlier, more...timid?

What happened to him in such a short time?

Zhang Wei avoided her eyes as he cleared his throat and fumbled with the stuff on his desk, giving his shaking hands something to do.

"Um...a—about the job, Miss Hui..."

At the sound of his deflated voice, Hui Yin felt her heart sink. Didn\'t she do well on the interview? Why was he looking at her like a doctor who had bad news to tell?

"I think..." Cough, cough. "You\'re really unsuitable for the job."

Unsuitable! Hui Yin clenched her hands. That despicable word again!

She forced the words out of her mouth. "Why?"

Zhang Wei met her eyes, and quickly focused on the wall behind her.

His heart was racing inside his chest, and he felt like he was at gunpoint as he slowly said, "For one, you lack the experience. Although making coffee is easy, we...ah, we don\'t have the time to train new employees."

What bullshit! Zhang Wei looked at the girl\'s reaction, wanting to see if she realized that he was lying. Of course they had time to train people! What kind of coffee shop would they be if they just hired people without teaching them the ropes first?

Zhang Wei saw that Hui Yin was considering his words carefully.
