Asked you to write a book, not to confess your criminal record!

The next day.

The morning sun rose in the east, crossed over the mountains, and hung high in the midair, shining through one or two thin layers of clouds, casting several beams of light onto the river's surface, the streets, and the parks, somewhat dazzling to the eyes.

In autumn, the early morning and evening both carried a hint of chill.

The Little Landlady donned a light gray gauze long dress, with long sleeves, knee-length, revealing a small section of her fair shins, her feet in a pair of small heels about five centimeters high, standing beside Lin Chuan, just half a head shorter than him.

As she adjusted Lin Chuan's shirt at the chest, she said, "Chairman, last night Li Qing mentioned that he found a treasure on Nanjiang Recruiting!"

"Is it that Karl?"

Lin Chuan asked, tilting his chin slightly.

"You already know?"

Xinxin finished adjusting the shirt, then looped her arm through Lin Chuan's, smiling sweetly.

Lin Chuan laughed, "Last night I was at Yucai Restaurant, treating Shen Qianqian and Xia Qingqing to dinner, and I happened to meet Li Qing and Karl and chatted briefly."

"What's your impression of Karl?" Xinxin inquired.

Lin Chuan pondered for a moment then answered thoughtfully, "He seems to be quite smart."

"How did you notice that?"

Xinxin asked curiously.

"His hair!" Lin Chuan laughed, "The real strong ones are all bald!"

Zhang Xinxin tiptoed slightly, straining her chin to check if Lin Chuan showed signs of balding.

Unfortunately for her, Lin Chuan had a head full of thick hair, showing no sign of a receding hairline.

Zhang Xinxin questioned, "Chairman, why aren't you bald?"

"I'm the exception,"

Lin Chuan burst into laughter.

"So, you're more formidable than Karl?" Xinxin continued to probe.

"Supposedly,"

Lin Chuan touched his nose, thinking to himself, If Karl's hacker skills were stronger than mine, he wouldn't be on Nanjiang Recruiting.

Speaking of which,

he hadn't yet met anyone with hacker skills superior to his own.

Even North Bear's Angelina was quite behind, otherwise, she wouldn't be calling him an idol all the time.

"By the way, the position Li Qing is hiring for is the manager of the technology department, do you think Karl is up to the task?" Little Landlady Zhang Xinxin, as the second in command at 720 company, cared about the company even more than Lin Chuan did.

Lin Chuan replied, "I'll have a look when we get to the office."

"Good!"

The Little Landlady, arm in arm with Lin Chuan, walked out of the house.

It's worth mentioning that,

the two had long since said goodbye to their little electric scooter, and Lin Chuan also left behind the days of riding in the back seat, with his arms around Xinxin's slender waist.

Because the Little Landlady got a car.

The Little Landlady sat in the driver's seat, switched to a pair of flat shoes for driving, stepped on the gas, and the newly assigned Audi A8 sped out of the underground garage onto the road.

As they drove,

The Little Landlady's hand inadvertently reached over to the passenger side and landed on Lin Chuan's leg.

"Xinxin, what are you doing?"

Lin Chuan grabbed her hand, looking stunned.

The Little Landlady chuckled, "I wanted to try out the feeling, I see a lot of car owners online who like to touch the thigh of the person in the passenger seat, fair and smooth, it seems very pleasant to touch."

Lin Chuan was speechless with amusement, "It's topsy-turvy!"

"What's topsy-turvy about it?"

"You, a little rich woman, driving a car and making advances at me!"

"Let me have a feel!"

"Driving here, safety is important!"

"Just one touch!"

"..."

The trip from Linjiang Mansion to Zhongcheng Building wasn't far, amidst the teasing and frolics, Xinxin neatly parked the car in the company's designated spot, and then they headed straight for the 16th floor.

Inside the office, Li Qing had already started his workday.

He was not only advancing quickly in technology, but he was also diligent in his work, arriving at the office very early every day to prepare all kinds of materials.

As it happened, as soon as Lin Chuan and Zhang Xinxin arrived at the office, Li Qing handed over Karl's information:

"Chairman, here is Karl's resume."

As Lin Chuan walked towards his office, he asked, "You've been in contact with him, how's his skill level?"

Li Qing followed beside Lin Chuan, "Chairman, his skills are unquestionable. He's worked at an international network company for a few years in the past, followed by moving to our country with his university friend, served as the deputy director of technology at Han River's 'Southern Network' for three years. Taking on the role as manager of our technology department, his technical proficiency is beyond doubt."

Reaching the office,

Lin Chuan sat down and flipped through Karl's resume.

It had to be said,

it was a rather impressive resume already, with a master's degree from abroad and eight years of experience related to network security.

"He was doing well at Southern Network, why did he suddenly quit?"

Lin Chuan asked.

Li Qing sat across from Lin Chuan, thought for a moment, then said, "According to him, he had a conflict with Nanjiang Network's technical director and saw no opportunity for advancement. A month ago, after an argument, Nanjiang Network sided with the technical director, he became disheartened and resigned."

Lin Chuan nodded his head.

Such disputes were fairly common in the workplace.

"Did he come in today? I'd like to have a chat with him," Lin Chuan closed Karl's resume and asked.

"I will notify him to come."

"Alright," Lin Chuan nodded.

Li Qing promptly pulled out his mobile phone and called Karl, speaking in English, "Karl, the chairman wants to see you."

Before long,

Knock, knock, knock.

There came a knock at the office door.

Li Qing quickly walked over, opened the door, and the person outside was Karl.

Karl was in his early thirties, youthful, with good skin, and his somewhat sparse hair was swept upwards, seemingly styled deliberately with hair gel, shimmering under the indoor light.

"Chairman, Chairman's wife,"

As Karl entered, his gaze fell on Lin Chuan and the Little Landlady, a smile on his face.
