"Mm-hmm, you passed."
[Negative Emotion Points +200]
Liu Yu took the documents, completely bewildered.
"Wait, why am I going to the security department? I applied for public relations."
Manager Sun's mouth twitched. If this guy went into public relations, wouldn't he turn the place upside down?
But as a manager with high emotional intelligence, Manager Sun would never say that.
As Brother Lao's leader, he first painted a grand picture of the future, then dangled a whole refrigerator full of empty promises.
Liu Yu happily accepted it all and left with satisfaction.
At this moment, Manager Sun put away his previous dismissiveness, his eyes revealing a trace of genuine respect.
This young master isn't simple!
He's a good judge of character!
As a workhorse, strong execution is enough.
But as a leader, someone superior, you need to be strong in execution AND good at judging people.
Rounding up, leaders are just more miserable workhorses.
Xu Yi continued to scan the list.
He then took out a black pen and crossed out several names.
"Are these people also incompetent?" Manager Sun asked curiously.
"That's right. Their position doesn't match their character. Some are from the Student Union, abusing their power. They'll be parasites in the company later.
Some come from wealthy families but applied for financial aid. Greedy and insatiable, they'll also be company parasites.
And then there are those who are simply incapable but good at faking data."
Manager Sun nodded, continuously casting admiring glances at Xu Yi.
At this age, having a little power but not abusing it, being fair and just. Not seeking personal gain.
Very good!
"Manager Sun, can we add ten more recruitment positions?"
Manager Sun's breath hitched. "I'll have to report this to Manager Li."
Xu Yi didn't hold out much hope, as fifty recruitment slots were already a significant concession.
However, Xu Yi had spent four years closely interacting with his classmates at the university.
Many classmates had shown him kindness; the truly obnoxious ones were only a minority.
Most students were still pure and kind.
Take selling instant noodles, for example. Most students knew his situation and would patronize his stall.
They'd order one sausage, one egg.
The total price was almost that of a beef noodle soup.
Most people, like him, came from humble backgrounds. They had the ability but lacked opportunity.
After twelve years of hard study, they ended up as one of the countless workhorses, becoming the answer they wrote about in high school.
The advantage of this place is its large supply of cheap labor.
Now that he had a little something, Xu Yi naturally wanted to help. It was also a way of helping his past self.
The greatest heroes are those who are happy to help others~
To Xu Yi's delight, Li Wen agreed and even added ten more positions.
Afterward, Xu Yi discovered Ai Xiaoxing's name.
The boss who had asked him to substitute teach before – just by the name, he knew she was an extremely unique girl.
The position she applied for was tuning and voice acting.
This was considered a professional fit.
But shouldn't every music student's dream be to grace the stage?
"Alright, that's all. Report back to Uncle Li."
"Okay."
With a light heart, Xu Yi stepped down from the stage.
At this moment, a crowd of students looked at him with eager eyes.
"Xu Yi... President Xu, about this list..."
"In one month, the results... the company will send a message to your phones. Please check them," Xu Yi said with a chuckle, brushing it off.
Others were disappointed not to hear the answers they wanted, but they didn't dare say anything.
From the moment Xu Yi stepped onto the stage, he was no longer like them.
The class difference between the two had undergone a seismic shift.
Director Li once again pestered Xu Yi.
"Young Master Xu, about my situation..."
Xu Yi raised his hand. "Ah, I have a great idea."
"Hmm?"
"You split your forces and surround the country of Wu."
Director Li: "..."
"A gentleman loves wealth, but he acquires it righteously. Whatever money you swallowed before, spit it all back to the students.
Most students are terrified of poverty and dare not spend a penny carelessly.
The hard-earned money of parents is not easily obtained. Taking their money is even harder, as it will make them feel deeply guilty and self-reproachful," Xu Yi said solemnly.
Director Li's face showed difficulty, he gritted his teeth, but still nodded.
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
After Director Li left, Xu Yi gave a cold smile. "Heh heh~ Even if he really returns it, I won't let him off.
If I don't make Brother Fan his cellmate, I'll write my surname backward."
In the past two days, many students were pleasantly surprised to find a sum of money had appeared in their accounts.
"Cheers! Love comes with the wind, but the heart's longing is hard to quell. Boss, another round!"
"I have money now, I can buy my goddess a new skin."
Naruto player: "With this huge sum of money, even the gods will fear me. Amaterasu~~"
A player of a certain four-character game: "I am the dog of ****."
A player of Honor of Kings: "This skin still requires too much skill and technique. Are there any cheaper and better-looking skins recommended?"
Xu Yi returned to his dorm and lay on his bed.
As soon as he opened his phone, it showed 99+.
A flood of group mentions and private messages from people he hadn't chatted with in ages.
But he didn't have time for private chats; the urgent task was to make money! A man with a system, isn't earning a hundred million a day too much to ask?
Becoming a capitalist despised by everyone, isn't that too much to ask?
The first step to getting rich is to accumulate initial capital.
Xu Yi didn't plan to ask Li Wen for this money.
Favorability decreases with use.
After all, he wasn't close family, and Xu Yi couldn't gauge how wholeheartedly Li Wen would help him.
Therefore, the wisest move now was to leverage the situation.
Besides, Xu Yi had been an orphan for many years and was accustomed to self-reliance.
He didn't have the habit of asking others for money.
So, how should he obtain this initial capital?
Work? Working was impossible. With a system, going back to being a beast of burden was just plain stupid.
Suddenly, Xu Yi thought of the sets of women's underwear in his system space.
If he sold them all... he wouldn't make much money!
As Xu Yi was still pondering, another series of message prompts sounded.
Cockroach Mustaches Stick to Poop: [Awesome, bro! If you had this ability, why would you still be tutoring?]
Cockroach Mustaches Stick to Poop: [Bro, you have no idea, you've become a legend in our Music Department. So many beautiful girls are writing love letters to you.]
Cockroach Mustaches Stick to Poop: [Bro, bro, are you there? Bro. It's been a whole day, Yu Xue has been practicing that piece, but she just can't get it right. It's hilarious.]
Cockroach Mustaches Stick to Poop: [Are you free, bro? I want to treat you to a meal.]
Xu Yi twitched his lips, calling him "bro" repeatedly...
Who would eat with someone with such a grotesque avatar and username?
Just looking at that morbid avatar and screen name, he had no desire to chat further.
Xu Yi then began to reply.
Fiercely Lick Cockroach Jailer: [No time, bro, I'm graduating soon and very busy.]
Cockroach Mustaches Stick to Poop: [Right, then I won't bother you. I'll find someone else for tutoring in the future then.]
Fiercely Lick Cockroach Jailer: [Don't! I don't have time for meals, but I have time for tutoring!]
Cockroach Mustaches Stick to Poop: [Husky pointing at person (jpg)]
Ah!
On the other end of the phone, the girl whose beauty was unparalleled gritted her teeth in anger.
"Meow, she clearly doesn't want to eat with me. So many people would beg me to dine with them."
At this moment, a well-mannered man in a suit appeared before her, offering a bouquet of flowers.
Ai Xiaoxing accepted it without hesitation.
The man in the suit was delighted. "School beauty Ai, graduation is near, but there's something I've never had the courage to say."
"I like you! This is a love letter I wrote for you in classical Chinese."
Ai Xiaoxing reached into the table drawer and pulled out a thick stack of love letters.
Then, she divided the love letters into four neat piles.
"Put your love letter in this middle pile."
The man in the suit was dumbfounded. He saw that the four piles were love letters written in classical Chinese, love letters written with chemical formulas, love letters written in English, and love letters written in Japanese.
I always thought my love letters were special...
They are special, but when there are many people, even niche things become common.
"By the way, I have something I want to ask you," Ai Xiaoxing asked.
"School beauty, please speak."
"If a girl asks a guy out for a meal, what's the best way to get him to agree?"
Thump, thump~
Is the school beauty hinting at me?!
My heart is beating so fast... Stay calm, you must stay calm.
Cough cough...
He cleared his throat and used a breathy voice, "School beauty Ai, I think the most important thing when inviting someone to eat is to show them your sincerity."
"Sincerity?"
"Yes."
"Then how can sincerity be shown?"
"Money. Spending money might be vulgar, but it's the best way to show sincerity. For example, my flowers here cost 255..."
Ai Xiaoxing's eyes lit up. "Exactly! Thank you..."
"So, when should we go eat..."
"If you have nothing else, you can leave now."
Man in the suit: "???"
Fiercely Lick Cockroach Jailer: [Xu Yi, taking orders? A "dine with me" order.]
Fiercely Lick Cockroach Jailer: [Taking it!]
Damn it!
The man in the suit was truly broken.
Using my methods to please another man?
The school beauty is not wrong, she can never be wrong.
The fault lies with that man, who is he?!
