Really Had His Defenses Broken

"Mm, you passed."

Negative Emotion Points +200

Liu Yu took the documents, looking utterly confused.

"Wait, why am I going to the security department? I applied for public relations."

The corner of Manager Sun's mouth twitched. Brother Lao, if you went into public relations, wouldn't you turn the whole place upside down?

But as a highly emotionally intelligent man, Manager Sun would certainly never say that.

As a professional leader, he first outlined a grand future, then drew a huge pie.

Liu Yu happily ate it, left completely satisfied.

At that moment, Manager Sun put away his earlier contempt. A trace of sincere respect appeared in his eyes.

This Young Master was no simple character!

He really knew how to judge people~

As a wage slave, all you needed was the ability to work.

But as a leader, as someone above the masses—

you not only had to be capable, you also had to know how to judge people.

Rounded up, leaders were even more miserable wage slaves.

Xu Yi continued scanning 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 virtue doesn't match their position. Some are from the Student Union and abuse their authority. They'll be corporate parasites once they join the company.

"Some come from wealthy families but still apply for financial aid. They're insatiably greedy and will be corporate parasites in the future.

"And some are incompetent but know how to fake data."

Manager Sun nodded, repeatedly casting admiring looks at Xu Yi.

At such a young age, he had gained a little authority but didn't abuse it. He was fair and impartial, without pursuing personal interests.

Excellent!

"Manager Sun, could you add ten more positions?"

Manager Sun's breathing caught. "I'll have to ask Manager Li."

Xu Yi hadn't held out much hope. After all, fifty positions was already an enormous favor.

But Xu Yi had spent four years at university, day in and day out with his classmates.

Many of them had shown him kindness. The ones who made people sick were only a minority.

Most students were still simple and kind.

Take the instant-noodle stall, for example. Once most students learned about his circumstances, they would choose to patronize his window.

They'd add one sausage and one egg.

The total price almost caught up with a bowl of beef noodles.

Most people, like him, came from poor families. They had ability but no opportunities.

After twelve years of hard study, they ultimately became one of the countless wage slaves—the very answer they had written about in high school.

The advantage of this place was its abundance of cheap labor.

Now that he had a few Stone Particles, Xu Yi naturally wanted to help. He could consider it helping his former self, too.

A great hero was one who enjoyed helping others~

To Xu Yi's delight, Li Wen agreed and even added ten more positions.

Xu Yi then spotted Ai Xiaoxing's name.

The boss who had previously asked him to substitute for her—judging from her name alone, he could tell she was an extremely eccentric girl.

She had applied for a tuning and dubbing position.

It was a perfect fit for her major.

But every music student's dream should be to take the stage, right?

"All right, there's no problem now. Let's go report back to Uncle Li."

"Okay."

With nothing left to do, Xu Yi walked off the stage.

At that moment, a crowd of students stared at him with burning eyes.

"Xu Yi... President Xu, about the list..."

"The results will be sent to your phones by the company in a month. Remember to check them." Xu Yi laughed it off.

The others were disappointed that they hadn't heard the answer they wanted, but they didn't dare say anything.

From the moment he stepped onto the stage, Xu Yi had already become different from them.

The class hierarchy between them had undergone a earth-shaking transformation.

Director Li latched onto Xu Yi again.

"Young Master Xu, take a look at my matter..."

Xu Yi raised one hand. "Wait, I have a great idea."

"Hmm?"

"You can split your forces into two and surround Wu Kingdom."

Director Li: "..."

"A gentleman loves wealth but acquires it through proper means. Whatever money you swallowed before, spit it all back out to the students.

"Most of the students have been frightened poor and don't dare spend a single cent recklessly.

"Parents' hard-earned money doesn't come easily. Taking money from them is even harder, because their words will fill you with deep guilt and remorse." Xu Yi spoke heavily.

Director Li looked troubled, gritting his teeth, but still nodded.

"Yes, I'll go take care of it right away."

After the director left, Xu Yi gave a cold laugh. "Heh heh~ Even if you really return the money, I still won't let you off.

"If I don't make you Brother Fan's cellmate, I'll write my surname upside down."

Over the next two days, quite a few students were pleasantly surprised to discover that an extra sum of money had appeared in their accounts.

"Let's go! Love rises with the wind, but the clock stops and the feelings remain unresolved. Boss, add another hour!"

"I've got money again. I can buy skins for my goddess."

Naruto player: "With this huge sum of money, even the gods would fear me. Amaterasu~~"

Some four-character game player: "I'm ****'s dog."

Some Farmyard game player: "This skin still relies too much on skill and technique. Can you recommend any cheaper, better-looking skins?"

Xu Yi returned to the dormitory and lay down on his bed.

The moment he opened his phone, there were already 99+ notifications.

A pile of group mentions and all sorts of people he hadn't spoken to in centuries had sent him private messages.

But he had no time for private chats. His top priority was to make money! Now that he had a system, surely earning a small goal a day wasn't too much to ask?

Was becoming the capital everyone loved to hate too much to ask?

The first step to getting rich was to accumulate startup capital.

Xu Yi didn't plan to ask Li Wen for this money.

Favors grew thinner each time they were used.

After all, they weren't blood relatives, and Xu Yi couldn't tell how far Li Wen would go to help him with all his heart.

So the wisest course of action now was to take advantage of the situation.

Besides, Xu Yi had been an orphan for many years and was used to being self-reliant.

He wasn't accustomed to holding out his hand and asking others for money.

So how was he supposed to obtain this startup capital?

Work part-time? Working part-time was impossible. Now that he had a system, going back to being a wage slave would mean he was an idiot.

Suddenly, Xu Yi thought of the multiple sets of women's underwear in the system's storage space.

If he sold them all... he wouldn't make much money anyway!

While Xu Yi was still thinking, another long string of message notifications rang out.

Cockroach Mustaches Stick to Poop: Awesome! Bro! If you're this capable, why were you substituting for classes?

Cockroach Mustaches Stick to Poop: Bro, you have no idea. You've become a god in our Music Department. A bunch of beauties are writing you love letters.

Cockroach Mustaches Stick to Poop: Bro, bro, are you there? Bro. It's been a whole day, and Yu Xue has been practicing that piece nonstop, but she still can't learn it. I'm dying laughing.

Cockroach Mustaches Stick to Poop: You free, bro? I want to treat you to a meal.

The corner of Xu Yi's mouth twitched. Bro this, bro that...

Who would want to eat with such an eccentric girl?

With that creepy profile picture and username, he had no desire to continue the conversation at all.

Xu Yi began replying.

Fiercely Lick Cockroach Jailer: I'm busy, brother. Graduation is coming up, so I have a lot to do.

Cockroach Mustaches Stick to Poop: True. Sorry for bothering you, then. I'll find someone else to substitute for me from now on.

Fiercely Lick Cockroach Jailer: Don't! I'm not free to eat, but I'm free to substitute for you!

Cockroach Mustaches Stick to Poop: Husky Pointing at Person (jpg)

Ah!

On the other end of the phone, a girl with breathtakingly perfect looks gritted her pearly teeth in anger.

"Meow! He clearly just doesn't want to eat with me. There are tons of people dying to beg me to eat with them."

At that moment, a polite man in a suit appeared in front of her and handed her a bouquet of flowers.

Ai Xiaoxing accepted it without hesitation.

The man in the suit brightened. "Ai Campus Belle, graduation is coming, but there's something I've never had the courage to say."

"I like you! This is the love letter I wrote for you in classical Chinese."

Ai Xiaoxing reached into her desk and pulled out a thick stack of love letters.

Then she divided the letters into four tall piles.

"Put your love letter in the middle pile."

The man in the suit was dumbfounded. The four piles were love letters written in classical Chinese, love letters written using chemical formulas, love letters written in English, and love letters written in Japanese.

I always thought my love letter was special...

It was special, but once there were enough people, even the most niche thing became common.

"Oh, right, there's something I want to ask you." Ai Xiaoxing asked,

"Go ahead, Campus Belle."

"If a girl wants to invite another boy to dinner, what approach should she use to get him to agree?"

Thump, thump~

Is the Campus Belle hinting at me?!

My heart's beating so fast... Stay calm, I have to stay calm.

Ahem, ahem...

He cleared his throat and used his bubble voice. "Ai Campus Belle, I think the most important thing when treating someone to a meal is letting them see your sincerity."

"Sincerity?"

"That's right."

"Then how can I show sincerity?"

"Money. Spending money may be vulgar, but it shows sincerity best. For example, those flowers of mine cost 255..."

Ai Xiaoxing's eyes lit up. "That's right! Thank you..."

"Then when should we go eat..."

"If you have nothing else, you can leave now."

Man in the suit: "???"

Cockroach Mustaches Stick to Poop: Xu Yi, do you take assignments? An eating-companion assignment.

Fiercely Lick Cockroach Jailer: I'm in!

This was truly infuriating!

The man in the suit had completely broken down.

She was using my method to please another man?

The Campus Belle couldn't be wrong. It was impossible for her to be wrong.

The one at fault was that guy. Who was he?!
