Qin Chun Zi
"Qin Chunzi has been a senior executive of a famous perfume group, the vice president of West Global GG Company, and the executive director of Hain News Corporation. Tsk tsk, Hain Corporation, that's a global news giant with tens of thousands of pay channels, customized channels, and periodicals under its umbrella."
The last time Gao Gong heard of the Haien Group was in his previous life; it was one of the major sponsors of the Blissful Society.
"As for myself, I am proficient in human resource management and key personnel training, and my performance has always been the best in the company."
"If you can reach the position of executive director, you're only one step away from becoming CEO."
Looking at the impressive resume on the holographic screen, the senior engineer couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement. Even before Life Industries went bankrupt, there probably wasn't a female boss like her.
He turned off the holographic screen and looked at this wild and powerful career woman.
"So what I want to know is, why would a high-level executive like you be reduced to being hunted down by a debt collection group?"
The senior engineer took a sip of 1982 mineral water and asked curiously.
Just as Jarvis the Joker was about to speak, Qin Chunzi stopped him, saying calmly, "My previous job was as the head of the human penis delivery department at the Hain Group; the founder of the Hain Group, the tycoon Hain's favorite youngest son, Little Hain changed his name and came to my department for an internship, and then I sexually harassed him."
"Pfft~~"
The senior engineer spat out a mouthful of water. "Damn, are you that fierce, sis?"
"My shares have been frozen, my accounts have been blocked, I can't withdraw any cash, and I've been blacklisted by companies. The reason I'm being chased for debts is because of some large expenses I made before I was kicked out."
"Little A has something to say—" Even artificial intelligence wants to complain.
"No, don't say that yet, let me speak first. Do you know that little Haien is the son of the group's chairman?"
"Know."
"You knew I was involved, yet you still went undercover?"
"It's all about the thrill."
"Sister, you're amazing!" Little A exclaimed in admiration.
The senior engineer stroked his chin, putting himself in the other person's shoes. Imagine he worked for a mega-corporation, became a junior manager in a department, and the president's daughter came to work in his department. He ended up doing the same thing. What would happen then?
He's already on the golden road to becoming a live-in son-in-law!
If it were me, I'd give the CEO a third-generation one.
When it comes to fancy tricks, you still can't beat me.
"Master, we sense that your moral compass has once again exceeded the limits of the morality chip. Record this?"
"Ahem, let's let it go this time. Um, A, go and see Jarvis off. Jarvis, your commission will be deposited into your account later."
When only the two of them remained, the senior engineer's expression turned serious, and he coughed lightly.
"The way you look right now is exactly the same as the expression I had when I was trying to seduce Xiao Haien. You want to seduce me?" Qin Chunzi said abruptly.
"Cough cough cough cough—"
Indeed, the younger generation surpasses the older, with each wave higher than the last. When it comes to professional ethics, I, Gao, am completely outmatched.
He paused, then said in a strange tone.
"Hain News Corporation, isn't it backed by several cloud-based aristocratic companies? And not just any cloud-based aristocratic company, but one of those twelve?"
While cloud-based elites may lack the ability to develop cutting-edge technologies and carve out blue ocean markets, they are not only capable of engaging in equity transactions and insider trading, but they are also quite audacious in doing so.
"That's right. Tycoon Hein became an honorary noble ten years ago, and the one who presented him with the award was Patriarch Hastings, a noble family in the Cloud Kingdom."
"Oh? That guy who has ten different alien reproductive systems installed."
The twelve noble families of the Cloud Kingdom are all very mysterious entities, rarely making public appearances. Among them, the Miller family, the Hastings family, and the Shech family are among the few who have taken public action.
Among them, the Hastings family is the most well-known. This family is involved in almost the entire global market for aphrodisiacs, and it is said that they sell quite well on other planets as well.
This family's cosplay outfits are quite famous; I've tried them myself, and the quality is pretty good.
Cough cough
Sensing that his integrity was about to break through the chip again, the senior engineer quickly changed the subject, "Since you're already at your wit's end, I think we can be more frank with each other."
Qin Chunzi, who had been making lewd jokes with a cold expression, raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"
"The reasons behind your dismissal, or rather, your voluntary resignation, are probably not that simple, are they?"
"I don't understand what you're talking about!"
Qin Chunzi got up to leave.
However, the next moment, one electronic wall after another appeared in her field of vision. Moreover, a woman in chains was reflected on the smooth walls.
Asura Martial God
These security chains pass through Qin Chunzi's various important nerve nodes; even a slight tug could cause his personality to split apart.
However, as the senior engineer operated the machine, the code transformed into threads, like a top-level craftsman doing needlework, weaving human signals.
'Kacha' 'Kacha' 'Kacha' 'Kacha'
"Excuse me, could you please take a couple of steps forward?"
Qin Chunzi finally showed an expression of disbelief, subconsciously took two steps, and felt a sense of relief throughout her body.
Turning around abruptly, he saw a figure bound by chains, deeply embedded in the Electronic Barrier.
"Alright, the confidentiality agreement has been lifted, now we can have a proper talk."
"How did you do that!?" Qin Chunzi's chest heaved violently. Although her expression remained indifferent, it was clear that she was very emotional.
"I'm a hacker," the senior engineer pointed to the sky, "The highest level of hacker."
Qin Chunzi closed her eyes, and after three seconds, she regained her composure, sat down, and calmly said, "Hain News Group is involved in large-scale data fabrication. The experimental data submitted to the mother city every year is problematic."
"Um."
"Furthermore, they collaborated with the Cloud Aristocracy to carry out forbidden modifications and alter the company's will."
"Oh? This is getting interesting."
The existence of corporate will is largely a product of the mother city's efforts to prevent cheating.
Once the enterprise's will is connected, its operational status will be recorded by the mother city without any error.
Furthermore, once a company has a clear will, it either succeeds in going public or suffers a backlash; there is no other way.
However, the difficulty of advancing the technology tree is universally acknowledged. There are many civilizations that have stagnated. Why should you be able to traverse the progress that other civilizations have taken hundreds or thousands of years to make in just a few decades?
What if you can't walk anymore? Then you'll have to cheat.
Add to that the status of a Cloud Noble, and it's quite common for them to fake it.
"It's just fabrication. I don't believe you weren't involved, nor do I believe you'll be fired for it," the senior engineer scoffed. "Tell me the real reason!"
"The first two years were fine, but in the last two years, due to the taboo of reform, the company's will has been seriously damaged. It is necessary to devour the personalities of senior executives to make up for the defects. My former boss and my boss's boss both died because of this, but in name, they were 'externalized'."
"Including tycoon Hein, who has been keeping a low profile for the past two years, I suspect he's also in trouble."
"So I did something that would get me fired, but wouldn't arouse suspicion."
"So, when it comes to doing business, you can't cooperate with those high-class elites. They're professionally terrible teammates; they're not only greedy but also stupid," the senior engineer concluded.
Qin Chunzi calmly said, "You helped me lift the confidentiality agreement, and now that I'm telling you this secret, can I leave?"
"Leave? Where are you going? Aren't you going to have your interview?"
"Now that you know about this, you should also know how much trouble it will cause if you hire me."
"It is quite troublesome, but it's only my son's trouble, not mine. Who knows, maybe he just likes it."
The senior engineer picked up the resume and said, "It says you are good at personnel management. How exactly do you manage people? Please explain in detail."
"I am skilled at prescribing different types of psychotropic drugs for different employees to reduce their emotional state and improve their concentration, with a success rate of 62.4%."
"I can perform targeted professional brainwashing, personality interference, and workplace PUA to make them lose their humanity and get promoted in the workplace, with a success rate of 74.4%."
"I specialize in all kinds of labor disputes, termination contracts, and large-scale layoffs, and so far no one has caused any trouble."
"No trade union association can survive more than three days under my leadership."
"I'm also an expert at extracting surplus value, such as getting employees to voluntarily work overtime, voluntarily take pay cuts, voluntarily optimize their jobs, voluntarily..."
The senior engineer suddenly stood up.
"Good heavens! So you're the capitalist's number one henchman! I despise people like you more than anything!"
The senior engineer patted the other person's shoulder forcefully.
You're hired!
Qin Chunzi nodded calmly.
"So, boss, how many people are there in our company right now?"
"Uh, less than ten."
Qin Chunzi was silent for a moment, then said, "Except for the first three years after I entered the workforce, I have never led a team of less than 100 people."
"That's your problem. As a newcomer starting from scratch, don't complain about the work environment, but create one," the senior engineer said earnestly. "You can make ten people work like a hundred."
Qin Chunzi fell silent once again. She thought she was cold-blooded enough, but she never expected that there would be someone in the world who could exploit her even more!
Soon, all the new employees arrived.
They were a strange group of "temporary workers" who didn't care about salary, workload, insurance, or even their own livers.
They were more excited than anyone else when they learned that their former comrades were to be arrested.
"Is this game finally switching from PvE to PvP?!"
"Hahaha, my good brother, don't blame me for being ruthless. Who told you to run into me in the Rift?"
"So this version is player-versus-player? I thought it was another boss fight."
"Capture fellow zombies, biological experiments, a mutated zombie mode? Good heavens, this game is plagiarizing! And it's plagiarizing Pony Ma... Oh well, never mind."
"Don't you guys think this executive is a very mature and domineering woman? She looks like she has an urge to kneel down and take the whipping."
"No, I don't think so. This aura reminds me of my head teacher... Ugh, bad memories are flooding back!"
Qin Chunzi watched everything in silence.
A boss who's even more twisted than me.
An employee who is even more ruthless than one's own family.
Qin Chunzi suddenly realized that this small company had a lot of potential!
