WPG0021: Thanks, Old Bro, for the Career Development Gift Pack!

Su Yueling fled in utter disgrace after being mocked by Sun Zhiming.

But someone at the scene had secretly recorded the entire thing on their phone!

The person filming had only intended to capture Su Yueling approaching Sun Zhiming and expose that bit of gossip, but who knew it would blow up like this?

Class 3-6 Penguin anonymous chat group.

'Polar Bear: Sun Zhiming mocks Su Yueling.MP4'

'Polar Bear: To keep anyone from identifying the filmer by the video angle, I deliberately zoomed in and edited it. Bear with me.'

'Polar Bear: But the video is a blast!'

'Prairie Wolf: I was there. Can confirm—it's a blast!'

'Jungle Fox: I've hated that bitch Su Yueling for ages. This feels so good!'

'Ice Sea Whale: I don't like Sun Zhiming either, but this time he hit every nerve and roasted that green tea bitch Su Yueling. So satisfying!'

'Spotted Dog: Anyone in the group friends with An Wuyang?'

'Spotted Dog: Shouldn't we send this video to An Wuyang?'

'Ice Sea Whale: Holy crap?'

'Ice Sea Whale: That's a twisted idea, but I love it!'

'Jungle Fox: A bit twisted, but somehow I'm curious to see what happens?'

'Prairie Wolf: An Wuyang must be loving this, right?'

'Prairie Wolf: Suddenly feels like Sun Zhiming and An Wuyang have this love-hate thing going on?'

'Polar Bear: Shipping everything will only ruin you!'

'Spotted Dog: An Wuyang is in the WeChat class group. Any brave soul want to forward this video there?'

'Ice Sea Whale: Dog, you go for it!'

'Jungle Fox: Not brave at all. Whether it's An Wuyang or Sun Zhiming, their family connections are too wide. How could we afford to offend them?'

While the Penguin anonymous group was still gossiping, Yang Jing had already forwarded the video to An Wuyang. Since they were good friends, he could send it directly.

'Yang Jing: Sun Zhiming mocks Su Yueling.MP4'

Yang Jing patted An Wuyang, but nothing happened.

'Yang Jing: Bro, you gotta watch this video. So satisfying, seriously!'

'Yang Jing: That green tea bitch Su Yueling got roasted by Sun Zhiming!'

'An Wuyang: Let me take a look first.'

An Wuyang immediately checked the video Yang Jing sent. He watched it from start to finish, and even though he and Sun Zhiming didn't get along, he couldn't help but agree with Sun Zhiming's points.

After all, Sun Zhiming and he were in the same circle, with the same level of understanding. Su Yueling really had been overthinking things—and she was way too stupid about it.

"But after hearing that guy's 'Later' theory, I can't listen to the song 'Later' anymore without feeling weird," An Wuyang muttered to himself.

'Ding!'

'Congratulations, host, for completing the random event: She's Panicking! She's Panicking!'

'A sudden critical hit—she really is panicking now!'

'The host handled the relationship with your ex-girlfriend well. She lost completely!'

'Congratulations, host, on receiving a random lottery blind box.'

'Since the host resolved the trouble with your ex-girlfriend effortlessly, using your opponent's strength, and the disaster was neutralized while you stayed home, the reward tier has been specially upgraded to a Career Development Gift Pack.'

The Happy Life System chimed in his mind.

An Wuyang raised an eyebrow. What the hell, this actually worked?

He hadn't even done anything yet, right?

More importantly, because he did nothing and let Sun Zhiming solve the problem by accident, the reward got upgraded. This was amazing!

For a split second, An Wuyang felt that letting Sun Zhiming call him "good brother" might not be so bad.

'Open the Career Development Gift Pack,' An Wuyang commanded in his mind.

'Ding!'

'Congratulations, host, on opening the Career Development Gift Pack and activating the long-term mission: Hope Father Becomes Dragon!'

'Since the host's College Entrance Examination score is under 700 points, you cannot join a top-tier institution or master innovative drug research skills. The only option is to place hope in the previous generation.'

'The host's father, An Huchun, and the R&D center of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group have, over the past seven years, innovated and developed a new essential oil beauty and skincare product based on Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil. It has the effects of eliminating dullness and brightening the skin to a fair complexion.'

'Special note: This reward will be completed through the collaboration of An Huchun and the R&D center of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group.'

An Wuyang checked the corresponding information in his mind, and he really wanted to ask the Happy Life System: Where's your manners?

What do you mean by 'unable to master innovative drug research skills'?

A roundabout way of discriminating based on academic background?

What's wrong with Second-tier Universities?

Aren't Second-tier University students human?

Besides, An Huchun develops products, and An Wuyang studies marketing—that's complementary, isn't it?

'Does this Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil skincare product actually work?' An Wuyang asked the Happy Life System in his mind.

If this Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil skincare product really could eliminate dullness and bring out fair, radiant skin, then Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group could turn things around with just this one product.

'Rest assured, Host. The effects of the Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil skincare product are real and effective. For more professional details, you can learn from An Huchun,' the Happy Life System replied.

That's great!

An Wuyang suppressed his excitement and also held back the urge to contact An Huchun immediately. He patiently waited for An Huchun to bring up the news himself.

After all, under normal logic, An Wuyang shouldn't know about the Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil skincare product yet.

It was nearly nine in the evening.

An Huchun and Li Wenya came back together. Both of them looked exhausted, but the fatigue couldn't hide the joy on An Huchun's face or the smile in his eyes.

'Looks like it's about the Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil skincare product...' An Wuyang guessed.

'Probably the Bitter Orange Blossom Essential Oil skincare product passed the comparison tests,' he further speculated.

When An Huchun saw An Wuyang in the living room, he spoke up first. "The layoffs have been finalized. We've notified the employees and announced the severance package."

Li Wenya chimed in, "Your father announced it today, but there were still some objections."

"Huh?" An Wuyang was stunned!

He had seen the severance package. Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group's offer was the cream of the crop, an unprecedented 2N+2 compensation coefficient.

And yet, even with that level of severance, there were objections?

Were the employees of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group really that heartless?

An Wuyang found it absurd!

An Huchun quickly cut in. "Your mother's messing with you. The severance package we offered is excellent. Most of the employees on the layoff list are very satisfied."

"Then why the objections?" An Wuyang countered.

"Some of the old brothers objected because they thought we were giving too much severance. They worried it would strain the group's operations, maybe even drag it down, so they wanted us to lower the standards," An Huchun said with a gratified tone, a hint of pride in his voice.
