From their complexions and palms, they were all full of vitality and in excellent health. As for whether they were love-struck or loyal to Nangong Yehen, that was hard to tell.
"Give me a glass of red wine," the man's voice sounded low and lazy. Huoluan quickly poured a glass of red wine for Nangong Yehen.
Slender, jade-like fingers elegantly held the goblet, raising it before his eyes and gently swirling it. The deep red wine, transparent and clear, reflected through the crystal glass onto his face, highlighting his nobility and grace.
The gazes that had been fixed on Chu Lingzhi were instantly drawn to his noble, delicate features and tall, lean figure. Nangong Yehen took a slow sip, his expression calm.
His elegance, his unhurried demeanor, and the oppressive, commanding aura he exuded were enough to drive any woman wild. Chu Lingzhi turned back to glance at him.
He sat there in a languid pose, leisurely savoring the wine, radiating an irresistible charm. She couldn't help but mutter under her breath: "Demon." Faced with a man who had both perfect power and career success, which woman wouldn't be smitten or infatuated?
Chu Lingzhi had originally planned to carefully select excellent maids for him. But seeing how he could effortlessly captivate hearts like a fox, she figured that even if she chose a lesbian to be by his side, she would eventually fall for him.
So, she casually picked thirty-five out of the sixty women. The chosen and the unchosen stood on separate sides.
Those selected were immensely grateful to Chu Lingzhi. Those not selected silently cursed her ancestors down to the eighteenth generation.
"Master Nangong, the selection is done." Chu Lingzhi turned around, smiling at Nangong Yehen. Her clear, beautiful eyes sparkled with a light that seemed to ask: Can I go back now?
Nangong Yehen narrowed his eyes slightly, his sharp gaze sweeping over the group of women she had chosen. "You may leave." So straightforward?
"Goodbye, Master Nangong." Chu Lingzhi beamed with a radiant smile. Even with so many beauties around, her genuine smile was refreshing to behold.
Nangong Yehen looked at her, his eyes glinting. Even Huoluan couldn't help but steal a few more glances at her. Chu Lingzhi picked up her medical kit and cheerfully walked out of Nangong Yehen's villa.
Once again, she was stunned by the grandeur of the estate—a truly magnificent palace. Just as she stepped out of the grounds, her best friend Mu Yu called.
Staring at the flashing name, she knew Mu Yu wouldn't contact her without a reason.
"Lingzhi, I'm waiting for you at your company." "I'll be there in an hour." "Hurry up, I need you to save me." "Being chased by someone?" "Worse than being chased."
No traffic jams, smooth sailing all the way. An hour later, Chu Lingzhi returned to her company.
Her health and wellness company wasn't large, but its service could be considered top-notch. She was well-versed in pharmacology and skilled at using the body's acupoints for treatment and health maintenance.
She could also precisely use acupuncture and her own herbal formulas to treat patients. Moreover, she had inherited her great-grandfather's moxibustion secrets, which even her grandfather couldn't master, but she had perfected.
Besides herself and her assistant, the company had forty employees.
"My savior, you're finally back!" As soon as she pushed the door open, Mu Yu, who had been waiting at the front desk, quickly stood up, grabbed her arm, and dragged her toward the office.
"Whenever you show up, it's never good news." Chu Lingzhi rolled her eyes. "How is it not good news? I'm bringing you business, helping you make money."
That only made it worse. If she hadn't said that, Chu Lingzhi might not have wanted to kick her out.
