chapter 37 See you again on the bus

Tyler Luo did not take the company's car, but chose to take the bus. As long as he could get out without facing Ella Luo, it was fine. Sometimes, taking the bus was quite pleasant. After all, Fenghuang City is a newly emerging super city with an extremely large population. Although it was past the morning rush hour, the bus was still quite crowded. Fortunately, there was still a place to sit. Tyler Luo actually liked this leisurely pace of life. But, he could never be an ordinary person again. Tyler Luo smiled, but his smile was tinged with bitterness. He got off at the bus stop near the employment agency. A few days had passed since his last visit, when he got the job at Baihua Technology through an introduction here. Walking in with his documents, Tyler Luo saw the same female employee who had helped him last time and greeted her, "Hi, beautiful." The employee was startled for a moment, seemingly unable to recall who Tyler Luo was, and responded with a professional smile: "Sir, how may I assist you?" Tyler Luo replied, "I'm an employee at Baihua Technology. I received a notification this morning about a large job fair coming up, and I came to find out more." He handed over his company's documents as he spoke. The employee, upon seeing Tyler Luo's ID, recognized him, "Tyler Luo! You were here a few days ago!" She seemed to remember something but actually had no impression of Tyler Luo. However, the name 'Luo' was memorable because everyone in Fenghuang City knew of the powerful Luo Family. The surname 'Luo' was legendary, and even if someone with that surname was not from the Luo Family, it would still draw attention. Previously, when she saw the name Tyler Luo, she had taken a closer look. Now, just a few days later, he had returned and seemed to have secured a good position, which she had helped him get. While the employee was pondering, Tyler Luo was also observing her, especially noticing her name on the badge: Xia Yu Cai. "Mr. Luo, please have a seat over there. I'll bring the job fair materials for you to look at," Xia Yu Cai said with a sweet smile. Compared to people like Elizabeth Zhuang, she might not be as dazzling, but her appearance was very pleasant, especially her girl-next-door freshness, which was captivating. Tyler Luo sat down, and soon Xia Yu Cai came over with a stack of materials. She seemed a bit rushed and stumbled as she approached Tyler Luo: "Ah!" She almost fell towards the coffee table in front of him. Tyler Luo instinctively reacted, pushing the materials onto the coffee table with one hand and reaching out to steady Xia Yu Cai with the other. "Ah!" But Xia Yu Cai, in an attempt to save herself, twisted her body, and Tyler Luo's hand coincidentally reached out. Feeling a soft and warm embrace, Tyler Luo couldn't help but be momentarily distracted. However, the sensation on his arm made it clear what had just happened. The incident made Xia Yu Cai scream, but she was quickly steadied and sat down by Tyler Luo, who had already moved away. "It was an accident, an accident," Tyler Luo hurriedly explained, not wanting to be mistaken for a pervert. Xia Yu Cai seemed still in shock from the incident, feeling the loss of balance but also the contact with her sensitive area, which caused her to scream. However, in the next moment, she found herself sitting securely, as if the near fall had never happened. Most of the materials she was holding had landed on the coffee table, with only a few scattered on the floor. "Was it a coincidence?" Tyler Luo thought, already sitting back down, not giving her a chance to make it difficult. "Miss Cai, did you twist anything just now?" "Ah? Oh, no, I'm fine," Xia Yu Cai replied, shaking her head slightly. Her cheeks were still flushed, clearly aware of the physical contact, but at this point, she could only pretend otherwise. Tyler Luo, trying to avoid further embarrassment, quickly picked up the materials to review, "According to your arrangement, the recruitment scene must be quite large. How much would it cost for this area A location?" Tyler Luo handled the matter skillfully. "This area A is quite expensive. The job fair lasts for five days, and the total cost for this spot is fifty thousand." "Fifty thousand, ten thousand a day," Tyler Luo nodded, knowing the price was public and that he was not the one paying. He made some notes and asked, "Can I keep this material? I need to consult with the boss before deciding." "Sure, but you need to act fast if you really want this spot. The price is fixed, first-come, first-served." "Understood." After a brief chat, Tyler Luo quickly left. When he returned to Baihua Technology, it was only three in the afternoon. Fortunately, Ella Luo was not in the office, only Avery Xu was busy. "The job fair costs fifty thousand for five days, hmm, that's about right. You can decide," Avery Xu glanced at the information and saw no issues. Though slightly expensive, the company urgently needed talent. Securing staff quickly was crucial for operation. Tyler Luo nodded, not fussing. After sending a message to Xia Yu Cai to confirm the spot and receiving her reply, he stretched, feeling tired from the task. "This work is quite exhausting," he thought, reminiscing about his past life, which seemed much more leisurely compared to now. With nothing else to do until tomorrow, when he would sign the contract with Xia Yu Cai, Tyler Luo waited for the end of the workday, feeling like most workers, eager for the day to end and the weekend to come. Finding this new routine quite novel, he felt it was much more comfortable than his past life. Leaving the office, he joined many others at the bus stop. Many people opted for the bus due to the distance from the subway station. Tyler Luo, now just one of the many workers, didn't stand out, but his unusual appearance was still noticeable among the crowd. His past experiences had left him with a strong aura, which, despite his attempts to conceal it, was still evident. When the bus arrived, people orderly queued up, unlike in other big cities. This was partly due to the local regulations in Fenghuang City, which required strict adherence to traffic rules, including orderly boarding and alighting from buses, with a penalty of five hundred yuan for violations. The overhead cameras monitored not only traffic safety but also citizens' compliance with rules. The majority of law-abiding citizens in Fenghuang City, which attracted a lot of high-quality scientific personnel, was one reason the city had been rated as a model city nationwide. However, there were always a few who did not conform to the rules. After boarding the bus, Tyler Luo found no seats and stood at the back, understanding why so many people were glued to their phones. Suddenly, he felt a light tap on his shoulder and turned to see a familiar yet unfamiliar face. "It's you, that's great!" The woman looked excitedly at Tyler Luo as if she had met an old friend. Tyler Luo was surprised: "What a coincidence." This woman was the one he had encountered previously, who was almost molested. He couldn't remember her name and felt awkward addressing her. "I'm Emily Wang. You probably don't remember me, but I remember you. You're Tyler Luo, right?" Emily Wang's face was radiant with happiness. "Yes, that's me." "I didn't get a chance to thank you last time before you left. I thought I might never see you again, but here we are, meeting on the bus just a few days later!" Emily Wang smiled, looking a bit excited. Anyone would be somewhat flattered by such attention from a mature and charming woman. Tyler Luo was no exception, though he merely gave her a few extra glances. Her tall figure and graceful curves explained why she had been a target last time. "I just couldn't stand by and watch last time," Tyler Luo averted his gaze, but noticed that Emily Wang was still looking at him, making him feel like a lamb to the slaughter.
