Xu Yi stopped in his tracks.
"Let's talk about this later. Come with me to the venue first and give me a hand."
Director Li's face lit up. "Sure thing!"
The entire venue was in an uproar, with all the students complaining.
I don't understand~ (Fenghua accent)
"Why isn't the recruiter here yet? Is he really that important?"
"I heard through the grapevine that some idiot locked the person in charge in a dorm room. That's why things got delayed."
"He must be a real moron. With intelligence like that, it'd be a waste not to put him in a factory changing diapers for dogs."
"Recruitment? What recruitment?"
"Why'd you come to the venue if you don't know anything?"
"I don't know either... The counselor told me to come. Said it would add credit."
Director Li: "..."
Director Li declared that he had never heard such vicious words in his life.
I acknowledged the fighting power of college students.
After seeing Xu Yi walk onto the stage, the students were all bewildered.
"What's going on? Is this guy about to play the clown?"
"I'm guessing he's an outstanding student representative. He must've stepped in some incredible dog luck."
"This is... Great God Xu Yi! Holy crap, it's the Great God! He played an original song back then and stunned the entire audience. He's exploding in popularity online now."
Facing the students, Xu Yi never expected that one day he would be standing before the masses.
It was truly moving.
"Stand up!"
Rustle, rustle~
The students rose sluggishly.
Xu Yi looked around and nodded. "I don't know who stood up, but I remember perfectly who didn't."
The students still sitting in their chairs looked cocky and disdainful.
"You're giving orders here? Who the hell are you?"
"Do you really think you're some big shot? You say stand, and we stand?"
"Thank goodness it's a poet. We're saved."
Manager Sun then went up onstage and stood respectfully to Xu Yi's right. He picked up the microphone. "Students, this is Xu Yi, the person primarily in charge of Furun Group's recruitment event."
Rustle, rustle~
All the students who had remained seated stood up.
Yes, sir!
Bro, if you'd said you were in charge earlier, I would've stood up right away!
I hate people who act low-key the most! If you aren't paying attention, you end up offending them.
Xu Yi: "All right, everyone, take your seats. I'm still a student at this school, so there's no need to be nervous."
Student Favorability +1 +1 +1 +1
"Everyone, please don't become distant just because I'm the person primarily in charge, or because I'm the nephew of Furun Group's chairman. I'm still the same Xu Yi—I haven't changed at all! My other uncle, the director of the Education Bureau, once told me that I should always be willing to help others."
Negative Emotion Points +30 Negative Emotion Points +30 Negative Emotion Points +30 Negative Emotion Points +30 ...
Xu Yi closed his eyes in bliss. Awesome!!
That single round had earned him nearly five thousand Emotion Points. He had struck it rich.
From now on, he needed to make more speeches in front of large crowds to show off—no, to train his communication skills and reaction speed.
At that moment, it wasn't just the students below. The viewers in the livestream were also complaining nonstop.
He's showing off way too hard... I can't take it anymore. Watching him makes me want to punch him.
If you actually punched him, you wouldn't be happy about it.
Only later did I realize that my mayor father hadn't deliberately neglected me. He had more important lights of ten thousand homes to protect.
This essay deserves full marks. I recommend having the entire school recite it.
After finishing his performance, Xu Yi decisively hid behind the stage.
Professional matters should be left to professionals. What happened afterward had nothing to do with him.
Xu Yi excitedly took out his phone. Genshin Impact, launch!
Just kidding~
Xu Yi was preparing to restore the Han dynasty. The Prime Minister was still waiting for him to save him.
No one knew how long had passed, nor what Manager Sun had said.
All anyone knew was that the applause had lasted for a very long time.
Manager Sun took out a list.
"Young Master Xu, this is the list of candidates who meet the requirements for this recruitment event."
Xu Yi skimmed through it.
To his surprise, Wang Liang and Liu Yu were on it too.
"Manager Sun, what positions are Wang Liang and Liu Yu being assigned to?"
"Wang Liang applied to be a security team leader, while Liu Yu applied to the public relations department."
"The public relations department?"
Liu Yu's smug expression immediately appeared in Xu Yi's mind, along with his "Of course I can~ Of course I can~"
If he actually went to the public relations department, he would simply tarnish Furun Group's reputation.
Client: "Oh dear, I'm old. It doesn't matter anymore."
Liu Yu: "Of course it matters~ How could you be old? You're still far too young to compete with me."
Xu Yi: "Put him in the security department too. The cleaning department would work as well. He can't be in public relations."
Manager Sun nodded. "Did the two of them offend you somehow?"
"Hmm?"
"That's not what I meant..."
Manager Sun hurriedly explained, but only made himself look guiltier.
Xu Yi could understand. After all, anyone would look down on having a student serve as the person primarily in charge.
Xu Yi said frankly, "The two of them are my roommates."
"Oh, oh, haha... Then your relationship must be pretty good. Right, there's one more, isn't there? Should we put him on the security team too?"
"No need. He went off to become a prison hero."
"???"
To keep Manager Sun from underestimating his ability to judge people, Xu Yi specifically called Liu Yu over.
"Liu Yu, this is Manager Sun. I'll introduce you."
Liu Yu immediately gave him a grateful look. "Good brother... for life!! I knew I hadn't buttered up the wrong person."
Manager Sun: "We called you here to give you an on-the-spot interview."
"Huh?"
Liu Yu looked at him in confusion.
"Don't worry. It's just a simple interview. Feel free to play it by ear." Xu Yi made an OK gesture.
Only then did Liu Yu smile. As expected of his brother—he was so thorough!
That way, no one could accuse him of getting in through the back door.
Manager Sun: "Suppose you play ball with your superior and beat him. But he says that he's old and no longer up to the task. How would you reply with high emotional intelligence?"
Without even thinking, Liu Yu answered, "First, you need to assess the situation and promptly notice your superior's emotions. Then walk over in small steps, lean in, and ask, 'Getting desperate?' Second, you need to save your superior's dignity and prove that he still has some strength left by asking, 'That's it?' Third, calm your superior down and give him a sense of participation by telling him, 'Fine, let's say you won.' Fourth, help your superior gain a sense of achievement in another area by saying, 'Your skills are average, but your temper is impressive.'"
Manager Sun: "..."
Seeing that Manager Sun remained silent for a long time, Liu Yu asked, "Are you dissatisfied with this answer?"
"Is that really your normal performance?"
"I can give an exceptional performance too."
"Then let's see it."
"Walk up to his ear and tell him, 'Be careful, or I'll give you a high-emotional-intelligence reply.'"
"..."
Hahaha~
Xu Yi couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing on the spot.
Manager Sun was left with a face full of black lines.
"Still not good enough? I have a more domineering response too."
"You wicked little thing, I won't allow you to deny yourself like this."
"I can also make it more anime-like."
"Stupid superior... Even if you lose... I'll still like you forever!"
"That's enough!"
Manager Sun hurriedly called a halt.
He could no longer tell whether Liu Yu had low emotional intelligence or was simply being absurd.
But either way, if he really entered the public relations department,
it would undoubtedly be the end of the world.
Liu Yu still looked expectant. "Did I pass the interview?"
