Miss Beautiful C.E.O and her system

Even if Ling Qingyu said no, her bodyguards would trail behind her. Helpless yet pleased, Ling Qingyu shook her head as she entered the location of the woman she had an appointment with.

Athena immediately took over and drew the navigation path, prompting Ling Qingyu to sit back and relax.

She didn't bother about her followers. Usually, they weren't noticeable but after being taught by Tang Ziyi, she began to capture these implicit movements.

Annoyed, Ling Qingyu cursed multiple times at Tang Ziyi but at the same time grateful for improving her situational awareness.

Well, a bit too much.

After half an hour, she reached the location and gave a call. The woman's voice seemed to jump with joy.

Ling Qingyu smiled, a little happy that she had helped someone out personally while saddened to realize there were others who were struggling with life or suffering from evil's hands.

Good won't exist if evil doesn't. Ling Qingyu understood the phenomenon but she like the rest of the world hoped for the best.

From the side mirror, she saw a woman, she was familiar with, stepping out of the apartment, looking left and right.

Seeing the only luxurious vehicle in the parking spots, among ordinary cars, the woman showed some restraint. She neither knocked on the window nor stayed closer, merely standing away and pressing her phone.

Apparently, this woman was trying to call Ling Qingyu, who knew the woman or remembered the suicide victim clearly.

She recognized the figure as soon as the woman walked toward her Bentley through the side mirror.

"Come inside." She got out and waved at the poor woman, who blushed and responded with a bit of embarrassment.

The two entered and Ling Qingyu obviously noticed the woman appeared too restrained, not daring to touch or feel like her skin would ruin or damage the other luxury.

Ling Qingyu sighed and started the conversation. "Have you eaten, anything yet?"

"Emm…Yep." But her stomach cried out in protest. "Well…sort of."

"Alright, let's eat too. I haven't taken a meal too." Ling Qingyu lied without the slightest change in expression.

Though she hadn't eaten lunch yet, the snacks in her residence were a large portion for ordinary people. However, Ling Qingyu was no ordinary.

Given her strengthening physique, the demand for food was unimaginable. If not for being the boss, Ling Qingyu would have been questioned multiple times by her subordinates with worries about her health.

Where had they seen a beautiful woman gobbling a huge amount of food? Luckily for Ling Qingyu, Spirit Fox operators provided a suitable excuse because their appetite increased as well.

So, it wasn't a problem for Ling Qingyu to eat a meal with the woman beside her even if she had eaten not long ago.

Ling Qingyu furrowed her brows as she asked. "Where's your child? Why don't you bring him along?"

"Ah—Ma'am, I left him with my neighbor, who will babysit for him." The woman replied. "I don't want to trouble you with my son."

"It's no trouble at all." Ling Qingyu shook her head. "I should have told you to bring the child along."

As a single mother, seeking employment, a child could become an obstacle. Ling Qingyu understood why this woman sought death though her paranoia was too extreme.

After all, in Country C, rarely employers hired people with children, particularly single parents. However, the discrimination leaned more toward women.

Men weren't asked such questions but women were. For example, are you in love, single or married? Do you have a child?

From these questions, they kicked off irrelevant applicants. Since Country C's labor laws and regulations weren't considerate for women, these kinds of unfair questions went unanswered.

Most women who came out of pregnancy for work found difficulties merely in searching for one. The time gap they took would become their disadvantage.

Hearing Ling Qingyu's considerate words, the woman merely smiled. She didn't want to ruin the first impression of her employer because of her child even if Ling Qingyu had mentioned several times, she never cared.

Ling Qingyu wondered if this woman never realized her identity or didn't bother to know at all.

After all, most of the women here admired and worshiped her. This woman clearly seemed to treat her like a complete stranger.

Or perhaps, the glasses she wore, hid her identity, Ling Qingyu comforted herself. In fact, those who struggled to survive daily had no time and the leisure to gossip and study about other people.

"What's your name?" Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

"Tao Ling."

"A beautiful name indeed." Ling Qingyu complimented as she savored the rhymes and meanings in Country C language.

"Ma'am, how should I call you?"

"Just call me, Ms. Ling. The name is Ling Qingyu." Ling Qingyu looked with expectations as if imagining the woman gasped and recognized her.

The reality hit Ling Qingyu hard as Tao Ling tilted her head and repeated the name. "Ling Qingyu…A powerful name, Ms. Ling."

"Thanks." What could Ling Qingyu say more?

Athena laughed without hiding, sprouting her voice through the spectacles after learning about Ling Qingyu's deflated appearance.

"That, Ms. Ling. Whether or not, I am suitable and selected, I'm grateful to give me this rare opportunity," Tao Ling said, not bearing too much hope despite her burning eyes.

"You'll definitely succeed." Ling Qingyu replied and drove out of the parking spots. A joke, she had clearly investigated Tao Ling's biography and her character. Even Athena analyzed the past events. The only negative result should belong to her suicidal moment of dragging her child along.

Who knew? Maybe this girl was still hesitating but Ling Qingyu's and the rest of her operators' appearance agitated Tao Ling. Nobody could know for sure what the relevant party had in her mind.

"Please express my gratitude to the officer who saved me. She was really courageous in spite of all the dangers involved. If not for her words, I might recover slower," said Tao Ling.

"I'll tell her that." Ling Qingyu blushed when she heard someone praising her up to the sky, recalling her selling miserableness moment, one of her darkest time. The light talk eased Tao Ling's nervousness and the communication went smoothly.

When they arrived at a reputable restaurant, Tao Ling showed hesitance then bit her lips to follow. Ling Qingyu insisted and tried to warm up the vulnerable girl.

Yes, a girl. In Ling Qingyu's eyes, Tao Ling seemed more like a young inexperienced girl in the affairs of work, no matter what the latter had experienced.

From the start till now, Ling Qingyu never mentioned about Tao Ling's work, which aggravated the latter's nervousness. "Please eat, Ms. Tao. We'll talk deeper after our stomachs are full."
