Chapter 29 - Perfect Candidate (2/2)

”She's wayward,” the other woman commented while tucking her caramel locks behind her ear.

”Oh, tell me about it...” Manager Li replied knowingly.

”She also seems flaky.” The woman again remarked with a glint in her eyes.

”You have no idea how eccentrically she behaves.”

”She's also stubborn.”

”As stubborn as a mule.” Manager Li couldn't help but say.

”Perfect! She's just the right candidate.” A beautiful smile slipped on the woman's face as she seemed quite excited.

Manager Li looked at her with an odd expression and said, ”Really?” She couldn't believe that this woman would actually like Bai Xiu. Well, she had confidence in Bai Xiu but...

”I'm as sure as eggs is eggs.” The woman replied with a peal of laughter and continued, ”I need someone as strong as her for that stubborn ass of a thing I call the boss. I can already imagine seeing her throwing him in a fiery pit and roasting him alive.”

”That's a bit excessive. Don't you think?” Manager Li questioned with tightly knitted brows. ”He's the boss, after all.”

”Nothing is excessive for that problematic, short-tempered and grumpy big-baby. I'm sure she'll be able to handle him very well.” The way her pupils were contracted, Manager Li was getting an eerie feeling. ”Do you think she'll be able to clear the screening tests? I mean I won't be able to act biased in an official matter.”

”Don't worry about that. She's smart. I'm afraid if I let her stay here for another year, she might take my job from me.” Manager Li said with conviction.

”Is that why you're sending her away?” The other woman asked again.

”Li Qi'er, my dearest sister... I'm sending her away because I believe that this department isn't doing justice to her. She has boundless potential and we're restricting her here. Being a part of your department will give her access to Qiu Group of Corporations' head office.” Manager Li spoke with a rare gentleness that her sister, Li Qi'er had never seen before.

But Li Qi'er knew that if her sister was complimenting Bai Xiu than that girl really deserved the best of the best.

”Okay, then. Next week, the screening will start. Send her for that.” Li Qi'er spoke and left her sister's office, not without taking another look at Xiu who was answering the queries of Bo Jiu at the moment. The more she looked, the more she thought that Xiu was perfect.
