C5 The Legendary Action Movie

"Damn it!"

The LCD monitor was unexpectedly playing a legendary romance action film, and the chubby guy was engrossed, headphones on, staring at the screen.

A blonde-haired, blue-eyed chick popped up on the display, and she was a foreigner, no less!

"Damn, this guy has no class. Watching this stuff in public is just not done!" Ye Fan inwardly chastised the man with a strong sense of disapproval.

Nevertheless, he found himself standing next to the man, watching with a growing interest...

The volume from the man's headphones was so loud that Ye Fan could hear it clearly.

As Ye Fan's excitement mounted, a sharp voice suddenly pierced the air from the doorway.

"What are you doing?"

Startled, Ye Fan spun around.

A tall, striking woman in uniform was striding toward him.

It was Ling Sixue!

Ling Sixue had just finished her work and was about to head home when she noticed someone sneaking in. Was it a thief? Or perhaps a spy from a rival company?

The thought made her heart race, but she bravely decided to investigate.

"Oh no, I can't let her find out about this. If she tells Su Yurou, my chances of staying here are doomed," Ye Fan worried to himself.

He shot a glance at the chubby man, who seemed oblivious to the conversation, lost in his own world.

"Ye Fan? What are you doing here?" Ling Sixue asked, her voice tinged with relief yet laced with suspicion upon recognizing him.

"Uh, as a future senior executive, I'm just getting a head start on familiarizing myself with the territory," Ye Fan replied, coughing to signal the man. He was strategically positioned to block Ling Sixue's view, hoping the man would catch on and shut down the computer in time.

Unfortunately, the man was too engrossed to notice anything else.

Ling Sixue sensed something was off and glanced behind Ye Fan. She froze, as if struck by lightning.

Oh my God! How utterly shameless! How vile!

He was actually... actually watching that kind of material!

Ling Sixue's cheeks flushed a deep crimson, anger causing her to tremble. She pointed at Ye Fan, her teeth clenched in fury, "You... you... you... pervert!"

"You've misunderstood; it was him," Ye Fan quickly clarified, stepping aside.

At that moment, the chubby guy had no reaction!

Ye Fan swiftly moved and promptly shut off the screen.

"Damn it, who?" The chubby guy finally snapped to attention, turning to see Ling Sixue, her face beet red and shaking with rage.

"Sixue, I... I didn't... It wasn't me..." he stammered, apparently recognizing Ling Sixue but unable to articulate his thoughts.

"Scum! Get out of my sight, now!"

Ye Fan watched the scene with a mix of amusement and disbelief. He hadn't expected the usually demure Ling Sixue to explode like a raging T-Rex. It looked like the chubby guy's attempt to flirt had backfired spectacularly. Maybe it was time for him to go back to chasing Western chicks, Ye Fan thought with a chuckle.

The chubby guy tried to muster an explanation, but seeing Ling Sixue's fury, he realized it was futile and left with his tail between his legs.

"Hey, Miss Ling, please, don't be upset. I was just..." Ye Fan began, attempting to soothe her.

"Hmph! As if you weren't watching with keen interest! Men are all the same!" Ling Sixue cut him off and stormed out.

Internally, she smirked with satisfaction, confident in her upcoming interview.

"I... Ah, well," Ye Fan sighed inwardly. Had he known things would turn out this way, he would have warned the chubby guy to turn off the computer sooner. Now he was entangled in this mess, and the afternoon interview loomed over him.

But what he had seen was indeed quite...

Regardless, Ye Fan knew he had to stay put. As for the interview, he'd have to play it by ear.

After the incident, Ye Fan lost his appetite and instead found a couch to rest on, awaiting the afternoon interview.

At 1:30 PM sharp, Ye Fan arrived at Ling Sixue's office.

Taking a closer look this time, he noted the office's minimalist decor, with several pots of fresh bonsai spreading a subtle floral scent that was calming and uplifting.

Only Ling Sixue and Mu Qingyu, who had interviewed Ye Fan before, were present in the office.

"Assistant Ling, this is Mr. Ye Fan," Mu Qingyu introduced.

"Understood, I've met him," Ling Sixue responded without even glancing at Ye Fan, her voice devoid of emotion.

Ye Fan felt a twinge of pressure but reminded himself of the system's help, which bolstered his confidence.

Before he could say anything, Ling Sixue commanded, "Qingyu, bring the two lingerie models from the company here."

Mu Qingyu paused, slightly taken aback, "You mean the lingerie models?"

"Just do as I've asked," Ling Sixue insisted firmly.

"Okay," Mu Qingyu agreed, nodding before she exited the office.

Mu Qingyu was puzzled. They had initially discussed a fashion model, so why switch to a lingerie model? She was filled with questions.

"Ling Sixue, what exactly is the assessment?" Ye Fan inquired, his curiosity piqued.

"You'll find out soon enough," Ling Sixue replied coolly.

Shortly after, two stunning models entered, dressed in provocative lingerie—one even in risqué intimate apparel!

Ye Fan was dumbfounded by the sight of the lingerie-clad models before him.

What in the world was this assessment about?

Was it a challenge to my self-control? Or was it testing my capabilities in... that department? And if so, should I actually go through with it?

His heart raced uncontrollably.

He touched his nose, relieved to find no trace of a nosebleed. "Thank goodness," he thought. "That would have been embarrassing given how heated the situation is."

Amidst his internal turmoil, Ling Sixue spoke again, "Mr. Ye Fan, Iris International is a highly professional and renowned fashion company, particularly catering to women. We're about to launch a new brand, as you've seen—women's lingerie. You..."

Ye Fan cut her off, "Hold on, Ling Sixue, you're not seriously considering having me design lingerie, are you?"

Ling Sixue shot him a contemptuous look. "Design lingerie? If you had that kind of talent, you'd be soaring high by now."

Looking at his disheveled appearance, he still aspires to be the PR Manager? He must have an ulterior motive.

With the intention of getting Ye Fan eliminated quickly, Ling Sixue didn't mince words. "Of course, I'm not asking you to design lingerie. The pieces these two models are wearing were created by our company. They're set to be showcased at an international lingerie fashion show soon, but there are flaws in these two sets. The task is straightforward: provide a critique of these garments and pinpoint their defects."

As Ling Sixue finished speaking, Mu Qingyu couldn't help but gape in astonishment. This task seemed nearly impossible. Even seasoned lingerie designers would struggle to identify strengths and weaknesses in such a short time frame, and typically, women are the ones designing women's lingerie. But Ye Fan... Ye Fan was a man. Was he expected to try them on to get a feel for them?

"You..." Ye Fan was equally shocked, staring at Ling Sixue in disbelief. Was she really that spiteful?

Despite the challenge, Ye Fan refused to back down. He immediately connected with the system using his thoughts, wincing as he expended another unit of energy to access all the knowledge it could provide about women's lingerie.

"Damn, only two energy units left," he muttered, feeling the sting of his dwindling resources. Since acquiring the system, he had spent most of his energy on this 'bodyguard mission,' silently hoping that Su Yurou would find herself in peril soon.

With a deep breath, Ye Fan approached the two stunning models.
