Chapter 449: Chapter 281: I Want to Give You a Surprise_2

“Peach Blossom Spring, huh!”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

“With so many peach blossoms, aren’t you just in the Peach Blossom Spring?” Little Landlady playfully punched Lin Chuan, pouting her lips, and huffed.

Lin Chuan laughed heartily, “You are the most fragrant peach blossom!”

“That’s more like it.” Little Landlady’s face lit up with a smile, showing she wasn’t really upset with Lin Chuan, she was just teasing him a bit.

If she were petty, she wouldn’t have become good sisters with Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing.

Lin Chuan cradled her face in his hands and gently rubbed it.

She pouted even more from the rubbing, her voice changed slightly, “Chairman, since she’s your friend, and she came all the way from Mo City to see you, shouldn’t you go entertain her?”

“Shall we go together?”

Lin Chuan blinked.

Little Landlady shook her head, sneering, “She came looking for you, willing to even take a manager role in the tech department for your sake. You go, I’ll have plenty of opportunities to meet her later.”

“You mean to let her manage the tech department?” Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow.

“Recruiting a world-class hacker for the salary of a tech department manager, isn’t that free labor?” Little Landlady said, grinning broadly, the very picture of a capitalist, with her eye on the company’s long-term development.

“That would be a huge win!” Lin Chuan chuckled gleefully.

Afterward,

Lin Chuan and Little Landlady left the office side by side.

Little Landlady went into the interview room.

He stayed in the corridor.

This L-shaped corridor was nearly empty because the interviews were winding down, and most people had left, only a few were still waiting for their turn.

Lin Chuan didn’t see Angelina, so he walked forward, turning a corner.

At the corner of the L-shaped corridor, Lin Chuan spotted Angelina.

She sat on a bench, her elbow propped on a black suitcase, her palm supporting her chin, and she was gazing out the window, with the light casting on her face, her nose high and sculpted like jade, her thin, moist, red lips glistening in the light, and her nearly perfect jawline came together in a side profile that was as beautiful as poetry.

She was prettier than her photo on the profile.

This was Lin Chuan’s first time seeing Angelina.

He thought to himself, no wonder Little Landlady said she was as beautiful as her.

Indeed, Angelina was pretty.

A few other interviewees nearby couldn’t help stealing glances at her, both men and women.

Such beauty was a sight to behold for everyone.

Previously, he had joined Dark Live hacker broadcasts and seen Angelina’s livestreams, but she was always masked and heavily disguised; you couldn’t make out her face at all.

Now, seeing her in person, she truly was a goddess!

“Hello, Angelina,” Lin Chuan walked forward, his face wearing a smile, greeting her with ease and poise.

Hearing his voice, Angelina quickly turned her head, her brown eyes clear and plaintive, gradually brightening, and she smiled, “Idol, how did you know I was here?”

Their exchanges had previously been online.

Mostly through texts, occasionally with a voice call.

Now, transitioning from the virtual to the real world, what was miraculous was that neither had that initial awkwardness and embarrassment of a first meeting; it was as if long-lost friends had reunited.

Truly, they were old friends.

On the path of taking his novels overseas, Angelina had played a pivotal role.

At that time, she had employed hardcore techniques to heavily promote “Hacker Kingdom” to a bunch of hackers, making Lin Chuan’s name resound throughout the hacker community.

Later, when Lin Chuan released “Black Ice,”

Angelina helped Lin Chuan establish a novel forum, gathering foreign fans together, increasing adherence, such that subsequent novels launched to high starting points.

So, from the bottom of his heart, Lin Chuan was grateful for this first face-to-face meeting with Angelina.

He cheerfully replied, “You’ve snuck into my company, even applied for a job, if I didn’t know, wouldn’t that be too stupid?”
