Chapter Eighty-Eight: Corpse Marks on the CEO's Body

Hello, I’m here for the interview I was notified about.

Fuyang spoke to the cute receptionist whose style was straight out of a comic convention, and handed over his resume.

She glanced through it a few times and nodded. “Come with me.”

He was led into a conference room to wait.

The office tower was quite upscale, with floor-to-ceiling windows on every side, offering a sweeping view of the bustling city.

“How nice would it be to be the boss of a company like this someday?”

Fuyang felt a touch of envy.

A knock sounded at the door, and then it opened. A beautiful woman in a business skirt suit walked in.

She was about five foot seven, with a superb figure, graceful curves, and a proud, full poise. Her hair was swept into a bun, black-framed glasses rested on her nose, and the whole of her radiated the mature charm and commanding presence of a powerful woman.

Though she was clearly well cared for, her skin smooth as that of a girl in her early twenties, Fuyang, as a Daoist, could tell she was probably just past thirty.

The beauty sat directly across from him. “My name is Tang Li. I’m the president of this company. I happened to have some free time today, so I’ll interview the junior from Jiang University myself.”

Damn, a cool and aloof female president? And a fellow alumna, too!

Fuyang felt a little nervous and tried to look as relaxed as possible. “Good day, President Tang.”

“Mhm. Introduce yourself. Why should our company hire you?”

The beautiful president’s expression did not change in the slightest. Her voice was calm and indifferent.

“Ah, yes, of course.”

Fuyang launched into an account of his experience, his skills, and his professional knowledge...

Ten minutes later, the beautiful president stopped him.

“Not bad. Let’s end it here for today. Go home and wait for the notice.”

With that, Tang Li stood up. Her tall, erect chest truly made Fuyang sigh in admiration. She really was a stunning, icy beauty, possessing a fullness and femininity that no young girl could match.

She turned and headed for the conference room door, and Fuyang stared fixedly at her tempting backside.

That was only a man’s instinctive response to beauty. Even if she was a lofty and aloof female president, that did not stop one from appreciating her in all sincerity...

Wait.

What was that on Tang Li’s neck?!

Fuyang suddenly noticed a thumb-sized grayish-blue blemish near the place behind her ear.

“It’s a corpse spot!!!”

He was stunned, scarcely able to believe his own eyes.

How could a living person have a corpse spot on her body?

“President Tang, please wait a moment!”

Fuyang shouted.

Tang Li, who had already reached the doorway, glanced back with a frown, ignored him, and kept walking.

He grew anxious. He sprang up and hurried after her. “President Tang, please wait.”

But perhaps because he had rushed too hard, he accidentally caught his foot on the edge of the table. His whole body lurched forward in a stumbling charge.

“Damn it!”

Fuyang cried out inwardly as he lost control and crashed straight into Tang Li, who was already at the door.

“Ah!” Tang Li let out a soft cry.

He only felt a wave of softness against him, and then a warm, graceful body was caught in his arms. The two of them then went tumbling out together, falling into the corridor...

Good heavens.

This was getting outrageous.

Fuyang had ended up pressing down from behind on Tang Li. His hands were pinned over hers, and the sensitive part below was just right against the rounded curve of her buttocks. The hot rush in his lower abdomen nearly left this inexperienced young man completely dazed.

The office was usually quiet during working hours, and with such a commotion from Fuyang and Tang Li, anyone who wasn’t deaf had basically heard it...

The eyes of the onlookers all turned their way, watching with great enthusiasm.

And so, most of the company saw a newly arrived interview intern lying in an extremely suggestive pose atop the cool and aloof female president!

“Look at that, bro! He’s going that wild right in the company...”

“Damn it! These college students these days, why are they so freakishly bold?”

“It’s over, it’s over. The president I’ve secretly admired for so long has been picked clean by a pig.”

“Grandma’s legs! This little brat hasn’t even grown all his hair yet, and he’s already daring to lay hands on our President Tang?”

“President Tang really does have charm. I hope I can still be like her when I’m that age...”

For a time, rumors spread everywhere and the office was alive with gossip.

Fuyang’s hearing was extraordinarily keen, and every one of those remarks fell into his ears. He was speechless. He knew that today, there was probably no escaping the mud splashed on his trousers—whether it was excrement or not, it would smell like it either way...

Just then, while he was dazed, a cold voice laced with anger came from beneath him.

“Classmate Fu, what exactly are you doing?”

At a moment like this, even a cool beauty like this icy female president was on the verge of erupting like a volcano.

“President Tang, I’m sorry. I really didn’t mean it.”

Apologizing all the while, Fuyang hurriedly got up from Tang Li. He did not forget to inspect the area behind her ear near the nape of her neck.

But strangely enough, the corpse spot had actually vanished.

“Could I have seen it wrong? No, that can’t be...”

Tang Li straightened her clothes and said sternly, “What are you looking at? Do you not want this month’s bonus anymore? Get back to work!”

Only then did the watching crowd quickly turn their heads back toward their computer screens.

“President Tang, I...”

“No need to explain. I know you only fell accidentally. Go home and wait for the notice.”

Hearing Tang Li’s tone grow colder and colder, Fuyang sighed inwardly. He knew this job was probably lost. He would have to start over with a fresh resume.

But this was truly unfair!

He did like beautiful women, but he was not some lecherous beast. How could he dare do anything to the president of a company?

Just as he was about to turn and leave, Fuyang suddenly noticed several thin black threads appear in Tang Li’s eyes, flashing across the whites and vanishing in an instant...

His heart jolted.

“No, I didn’t misread it. There’s definitely something wrong with Tang Li. The faint corpse spot, the black threads in her eyes... what on earth is this?”

I know!

He suddenly remembered a kind of sinister art he had seen in some basic materials about the supernatural world given to him by Old Yellow.

Seeing Fuyang standing there in a daze, Tang Li was truly enraged.

At first she had thought this junior from Jiang University seemed decent enough. She had never expected him to be not only frivolous, but also so unwilling to obey instructions.

“Do you need me to have security escort you out?”

“President Tang, could you find a quieter office where no one will disturb us? There are some things I need to tell you.”

What? Too much!

Tang Li was just about to explode when she saw the clear, steadfast look in Fuyang’s eyes.

Something in her heart stirred for no reason, and she held back.

“President Tang, please trust me. This really is something extremely important. It may very well be... related to your life!”

Five minutes later, in the president’s office.

Tang Li removed her coat and hung it up, revealing an even more graceful figure, then sat down on the rotating leather sofa. She folded her hands over the broad marble table.

“If you can’t give me a proper explanation today, I’ll make you regret ever coming here for this interview.”
