Revenge Sevenfold

"It says here that you're an actress? Will this affect your work?"

Hui Yin firmly said "no" at the man sitting opposite from her, who was carefully looking at her resumè.

He was the owner of the coffee shop near to her apartment, and for convenience, she decided to try her luck here.

It was already her fifth interview that afternoon; for some reason, all the hiring owners and managers of the shops where she had applied for a part-time job seemed to think that she was unsuitable for the task.

Hui Yin was starting to get a headache from walking too much under the hot sun. Some tendrils of her hair had plastered at the back of her neck, and sweat made her clothes clung to her body.

Thankfully, this coffee shop had air conditioning and comfortable sofas, so she could rest for a little bit.

Zhang Wei was mesmerized by the beauty sitting in front of him. In truth, he was just asking her random questions only to make the interview seem more real. He had already accepted her the instant she walked into his coffee shop.

If this beauty worked under him, not only would his eyes be cleansed everyday, he would reap money as well. The society of today put looks above everything; this was the reason why he hired workers that were serving the customers' orders directly based on their looks.

It was not enough to call Hui Yin a beauty—that would be insulting. This girl before him, with her delicate face, wide starry eyes, silky hair, and perfect figure...Zhang Wei could only describe her with one word, and that word was goddess!

She was a goddess that was beautiful beyond compare!

Just as Zhang Wei was about to tell Hui Yin that she was hired, his phone suddenly rang inside his pocket.

His annoyance changed into extreme shock when he read the caller's name.

"Please excuse me for a moment, Miss Hui," Zhang Wei said apologetically, and hurried out of his office to take the call.

After closing the door behind him, Zhang Wei cleared his throat and answered his phone.

"Manager Fa—" He had barely gotten a word in when a cry nearly burst his eardrums.

"Don't hire her!!!"

Zhang Wei held the phone far away from his ear, wincing. He looked at the caller ID. Was it really Manager Fang that was calling him?

It was indeed his name on his phone screen, but what happened to his always cool, always calm image? Why was he shouting now? Did something happen to the main branch?

One could say that it was normal for Zhang Wei to be this shocked. Manager Fang managed the main branch of their coffeehouse chain, and Zhang Wei had only briefly seen him during one of their company's business-related parties.

He didn't even manage to get to talk to the man. After all, he was just a small owner of one of their coffee shop. It has to be said that there were at least hundreds of this same coffee shop across the country.

So why is Manager Fang calling him now, sounding so panicked?

"Don't hire who, Manager Fang?" said Zhang Wei respectfully.

It didn't enter his mind that Manager Fang might be referring to the beauty sitting inside his office right now, calmly waiting for him.

Although a great beauty, she was only an ordinary girl looking for a part-time job. How could she be connected to Manager Fang?

"Don't hire that girl named Hui Yin!" Manager Fang sounded like he was on the verge of a heart attack. "She's Lu Shen's woman!"

Zhang Wei's mind went blank.
