"Hello, our company has already hired enough people. You don’t need to come to the job fair anymore." No sooner had Zhou Wanshing ended her call with Su Xuan than another came in, telling her not to bother going to the job fair. Zhou Wanshing held her phone, staring blankly into space. How can this be? She had contacted that company just the day before yesterday and scheduled an interview at today’s job fair. How could they tell her not to come now, claiming they had enough people, without even meeting her? Do they have any integrity? "They were probably just going through the motions at the job fair," Su Xuan said, pulling the car over to the side of the road. "In fact, many companies have already chosen their preferred candidates through connections long before the official recruitment starts. The hiring event is just for show." "Is this what society is like?" the recent graduate muttered. Her professor had told her more than once that when job hunting, she should use connections if she could. It was better than searching blindly on her own, which was not only a waste of time but also made it very difficult to find a good job. Now, it seemed he was right. "Wanshing, your Brother Su here may not have many other skills, but finding a job for you isn’t difficult," Su Xuan said with a wide grin, ready to lay his cards on the table. He planned to list his companies one by one and let Zhou Wanshing take her pick, just as he had done for Ye Qianqian. And I’ll take this as a way to express my gratitude to Aunt Zhang! But just then, another call came in for Zhou Wanshing, forcing him, who was so eager to show off, to swallow his words. "Wanshing, have you found a job yet?" a voice on the phone asked. "Not yet, I haven’t even reached the job fair. What about you, Manman?" Zhou Wanshing asked. "You found one so quickly?" "Yeah!" the voice on the phone chirped. "Our classmate Han Mingliang found me a great job. I’m about to go for an interview at Meisi Company. Pretty cool, right?" "Meisi? That’s amazing! Congratulations!" Zhou Wanshing was genuinely happy for her best friend. They had been roommates for four years in college, eating, studying, and shopping together. They were as close as sisters. But her best friend’s next words were unsettling. "Zhou Wanshing, don’t you feel even a little bit jealous?" her friend, Li Manman, asked coldly. "Huh?" Zhou Wanshing blinked, confused as to why Li Manman would say such a thing. "Zhou Wanshing, if you hadn’t rejected Han Mingliang’s confession back then, this opportunity would’ve been yours!" Li Manman said. "But now he says he likes me, and I’ve accepted his confession, so he helped me get this job. The interview is just a formality; I’m guaranteed a position at Meisi because Han Mingliang’s father is the chief examiner!" "You accepted Han Mingliang just for this job?" The smile on Zhou Wanshing’s face had vanished. "Yes!" Li Manman declared. "He’s already here to pick me up in his million-dollar sports car. We’re going to the Meisi interview together, and then we’ll work at Meisi together. From now on, you and I will be in different worlds, haha!" "Manman, did Han Mingliang ask you to tell me this?" Zhou Wanshing asked, pursing her lips. "It was his idea, and it’s mine too!" Li Manman shot back. "Zhou Wanshing, you were always one step ahead of me in school. I want you to know that once you’re out in society, you’re nothing. I’m better than you!" The call ended abruptly. Tears began to stream down Zhou Wanshing’s face. But she wasn’t crying because she had missed out on a good job by rejecting Han Mingliang. Instead, she was crying because her supposedly ironclad friendship with Li Manman had proven so fragile. Could all her past kindness have been an act? Otherwise, why would she say such vicious things to me just now? Su Xuan had heard the entire conversation but said nothing. He simply turned the car around and headed back the way they came. "Brother Su, are you taking me home?" Zhou Wanshing asked, wiping her eyes. "Not at all. You still haven’t found a job today, right?" Su Xuan smiled. "We’re going to continue the job hunt!" "But I don’t know where to look. I don’t have any connections or background. It’s too hard to find a good job." Reeling from the double blow of society and her best friend, Zhou Wanshing felt utterly dejected. "I’m your connection and your background!" Su Xuan sped up, driving directly to Meisi Company. He brazenly parked right in front of the Meisi office building, not bothering to find a proper parking spot. It’s my company, after all. I can do as I please. He then led a completely bewildered Zhou Wanshing into the Meisi building. A Porsche sports car pulled into a parking space near the building, and a man and a woman stepped out. "Huh?" The woman was none other than Zhou Wanshing’s best friend, Li Manman. She exclaimed in surprise, "Isn’t that Zhou Wanshing who just went into the building? What is she doing at Meisi?" The man was Han Mingliang. He sneered, "She must regret rejecting me. She’s probably come to confess her feelings!" A sense of crisis instantly gripped Li Manman. She hugged Han Mingliang’s arm and pleaded, "Mingliang baby, if she’s really here to confess to you, you can’t accept! You belong only to me!" Han Mingliang flicked his bangs. "Don’t worry. I’ll just humiliate her. I’d never accept her!" The two of them then walked into the Meisi building. Before entering, Han Mingliang glanced at Su Xuan’s car and remarked, "Who’s that guy with her? Look at that parking job. So uncivilized!" "Brother Su, why did we have to come to Meisi?" Zhou Wanshing, still unaware that Su Xuan owned the company, asked him nervously once they were in the elevator. "Li Manman said Han Mingliang’s father is the chief examiner, and I already rejected Han Mingliang. Even if I get an interview, they definitely won’t hire me." Su Xuan replied nonchalantly, "You don’t need to worry about that. Just focus on the interview. Besides, a chief examiner is nothing." Zhou Wanshing chuckled, then ventured a guess at his intentions. "Brother Su, are you afraid I’ll be scarred by what happened, and that’s why you want me to come to Meisi to prove myself?" Su Xuan said, "You can think of it that way." The elevator doors opened on the eighth floor. Just as the doors opened, a man holding a water cup started to walk into the elevator. It was Lu Hongliang, the executive CEO of Meisi. The next second, Lu Hongliang froze. He saw Su Xuan in the elevator! He couldn’t figure out why Su Xuan had made a sudden visit. In the past, whenever he had invited Su Xuan to inspect the company, Su Xuan was always very reluctant. Lu Hongliang quickly switched the cup to his other hand, a wide smile plastered on his face as he reached out to shake Su Xuan’s. "Ahaha, Bo—" New ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄhapters are published on 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵⚑𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮⚑𝓷𝓮𝓽 But Su Xuan shot him a meaningful wink. Lu Hongliang, being a sharp man, instantly swallowed the rest of the word "Boss." He raised his hand to scratch his head instead, murmuring, "Oh, bless the heavens, it’s such a nice, cool day today..."
