Phantom

In the afternoon, Zhang Yang talked with the headhunter for a while.

A generous reward will surely attract brave men.

Driven by the promise of huge rewards, headhunters who specialize in the high-end talent market put in a lot of effort and helped Zhang Yang find a considerable number of potential elites.

An annual salary of several million is quite good.

That's enough for him to choose a top-notch talent in terms of education, experience, and work ability.

"This person graduated from Fudan School of Economics and has three years of investment banking experience..."

"This one graduated from the University of London Department of Economics and worked at Goldman Sachs for five years, holding various positions..."

"This one..." Zhang Yang suddenly blinked.

His gaze suddenly fell on one of the candidates' resumes.

From a vocational college diploma to a PhD from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania... step by step, I progressed steadily...

Other people transfer from a junior college to a bachelor's degree program, but he's gone straight from junior college to heaven!

As for his work experience, it's grounded in reality, progressing from investment banking to CFO of a unicorn company, to CEO...

Those high-achieving students who have a smooth journey and attend prestigious schools are certainly outstanding, but the path to success of this person is unprecedented and can only be described as a miracle.

There's nothing wrong with having a junior college degree as his first degree. Looking at his subsequent resume, he definitely has all the qualities: intelligence, talent, and hard work. He just might have realized them a little late.

It doesn't matter if it's late; it will arrive eventually.

According to the headhunter's comprehensive assessment, this person is highly capable and well-rounded, possesses exceptional vision, is adept at steady progress, has the demeanor of a great leader, and is a born CEO.

Zhang Yang pondered for a moment, then looked at the candidate's resume again, and talked with the headhunter for a long time before finally offering a new annual salary of five million.

"This one will do. Could you help me get in touch with him, and if he seems suitable, we can arrange a time to meet."

···

Inside the HR office, Bai Jingyi held the contract, somewhat surprised.

"Internship salary is shockingly low..."

"What's wrong? Do you think it's too high or too low? Didn't Chairman Zhang talk to you about it?" The HR manager looked at the young woman in front of her.

She had a slender waist, long legs, and an oval face, all combined with an unremarkable resume.

Immediately, she knew what was going on, but dared not say anything out of turn.

"No." Bai Jingyi shook her head, holding the contract, her face inexplicably flushing. "Um, Miss, I'll go now."

"Go ahead, go ahead," the HR lady said quickly. "If you have any questions, you can ask me privately."

A moment later, Bai Jingyi walked back to the door of the chairman's office.

Then, he knocked on the door.

"Chairman Zhang?"

"Come in," a voice came from inside.

Bai Jingyi took a deep breath and quickly pushed the door open gently. She immediately saw the handsome boss sitting in the executive chair.

"Chairman Zhang, I've taken care of everything."

"All done?" Zhang Yang sized up the pretty girl, who still had a youthful, innocent air about her. "Okay, then you can come with me and get familiar with the work."

"Chairman Zhang, I need..." Bai Jingyi was still a little confused.

"Shoulders." Zhang Yang leaned back slightly in his chair and pointed to his broad shoulders.

Since it's just a decorative vase, it should be treated like one.

He doesn't have the patience to mentor newcomers, but he can gradually influence them through obedience tests, starting from the basics and working his way up.

"Shoulders?" Bai Jingyi looked at Zhang Yang's shoulders, then at her own fair and slender hands, hesitated, and stepped forward to stand behind Zhang Yang.

"Do I need to teach you?" Zhang Yang said again.

Immediately, Bai Jingyi reacted and gently massaged Zhang Yang's shoulders and back.

Zhang Yang closed his eyes slightly, feeling the technique on his shoulders go from awkward to skillful. He closed his eyes again and relaxed.

You can drive, right?

"Yes, Chairman Zhang," Bai Jingyi said softly.

"Okay, then come with me later." Zhang Yang casually gave the order without any hesitation.

As an assistant, the first thing you have to do is obey orders. With such a high salary, you can't just pay him for nothing.

A moment later, the assistant got into the zone.

Wearing a long-legged, short-skirted work outfit, she walked briskly behind her handsome boss, Zhang Yang, always ready to listen to his teachings.

His expression suggested a slight nervousness.

"Chairman Zhang, do you need me to drive? Where is your car?" Bai Xiaomi asked immediately.

"The car? Let's go pick it up now," Zhang Yang said, glancing at Bai Jingyi.

It was around 3 or 4 pm, inside the Rolls-Royce dealership in Pudong.

Zhang Yang and Bai Jingyi were standing in front of his brand-new Rolls-Royce Phantom Zenith Collection.

With a price tag of several million and top-tier luxury, it naturally delivers a thoroughly exhilarating and stunning experience.

The two-tone exterior with a combination of black and sheer silver, 230 individually inlaid interior wood panels, and genuine leather with 24,633 exquisite stitches... perhaps just a few seats inside are worth a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

What a shiny gold car!

Zhang Yang now understood why this car was exclusively for big shots. Just seeing it from afar evoked nothing but awe and a sense of prestige.

Everyone calls Rolls-Royce "Big Rolls-Royce".

Perhaps only the Phantom can be considered a true Rolex in the real sense.

Zhang Yang's shock came quickly and went quickly. After all, this wasn't his first time owning a Rolls-Royce; his previous Rolls-Royce Cullinan was worth over nine million yuan.

But Bai Jingyi is different.

"Mr. Zhang... Mr. Zhang, do you really want me to drive this car later?" Bai Xiaomi stood prettily to the side, a little timid.

"No... Phantom, you want me to drive it myself?" Zhang Yang asked incredulously.

It's not that he's being dramatic.

While you might insist on driving the Phantom yourself, that's fine too, but the essence of this car lies in the back seats. Otherwise, why buy it?

"But I'm afraid..." Bai Jingyi still had a hint of worry.

"What are you afraid of? I won't make you pay for it if you break it. Just drive. Don't worry, I'll hire a full-time driver later." Zhang Yang smiled and stepped forward. "Next time, you can sit in the back with me."

Bai Jingyi had no choice but to obediently nod, and then watched Zhang Yang and a dignified and beautiful Rolls-Royce saleswoman get into the car.

They said they needed to familiarize themselves with the functions of the rear seats after getting out of the car.

She stood quietly, and through the car window, she could vaguely see the young woman sometimes getting up and sometimes crossing over Mr. Zhang's thigh to demonstrate the functions. She couldn't help but blink and wrinkle her nose.

"My god-like boss seems to be single?" she muttered to herself.

In her mind, being single naturally means being unmarried.

Bai Jingyi knew without a doubt what kind of presence this super handsome and wealthy Chairman Zhang held in front of the girls, and what he meant...

"It's truly a dazzling array of flowers," she murmured.

"What's so dazzling about this riot of colors?" Zhang Yang asked her as he got out of the car after the door opened.

Inside the car next to her, a graceful and beautiful Rolls-Royce lady gently adjusted her bodycon mini-skirt; her face was as rosy and delicate as a peach blossom.

"No, no, I just said it offhand," Bai Jingyi hurriedly waved her hand.

"I didn't realize you were a poetry enthusiast." Zhang Yang glanced amusedly at the flustered Bai Jingyi. "Go to the driver's seat, let's go."

"Okay." Bai Jingyi nodded quickly.

A moment later, she sat in the driver's seat, looking a bit flustered, and couldn't start the car for quite a while.

"Is it ready?" Zhang Yang asked, amused, from the back row.

"Okay, that's good now, Chairman Zhang." Bai Jingyi took a deep breath, slowly started the Rolls-Royce Phantom worth several million yuan, and slowly drove it out of the store.

The store staff stood in two rows, watching them leave.

Zhang Yang sat in the back row, feeling as if he were in a luxury private train.

Through the car window, countless eyes were cast upon the pedestrians and passing vehicles outside. Every now and then, passersby would stop to take photos or short videos, perhaps even creating headlines like, "The tycoon in the Phantom is in charge of the group's development from the inside of the car."

At this moment, he had Bai Jingyi drive to Shengtian Car Care Center, owned by that young master Qian from the Rolls-Royce Car Club.

I'm planning to get a paint protection film applied to this car.

A car worth several million should naturally be taken good care of.

About half an hour later, outside Shengtian Car Care Center.

As the Rolls-Royce Phantom, exuding an unparalleled aura, slowly drove in, it instantly drew everyone's attention.

"Holy Phantom, is that Phantom the pinnacle edition?"

"Whose car is this?"

Upon hearing the news, a group of car club members who usually come to the shop for maintenance came out. Although they all drive Rolls-Royces, there are different levels within the Rolls-Royce- Royce segment. Now that they've encountered the pinnacle of Rolls-Royces, who wouldn't want to pay homage?

Zhang Yang opened the car door and got out.

"Brother Zhang!"

"So this is Brother Zhang's new Phantom! Brother Zhang is awesome!" A group of people around him looked at the figure in front of him and immediately surrounded him, congratulating him all at once.

They were shocked, yet it didn't seem so strange.

After all, this young master Zhang's watch is worth over twenty million; buying a Phantom is just child's play for him.

"Brother Zhang, how about I get you a paint protection film?" Young Master Jin jogged over, beaming. "I'll definitely use the best I can get you."

"Then give me one." Zhang Yang nodded.

Bai Jingyi arrived late and got off the car at the front.

Upon seeing this beautiful woman in professional attire, with a slender waist, long legs, and still retaining a youthful innocence, the people around her immediately displayed various expressions.

"Brother Zhang, you're amazing! All your drivers are girls." Su Jiajun happened to be in the shop and came over with an envious look in his eyes.

"No, this is my new assistant." Zhang Yang waved to Bai Jingyi.

Bai Jingyi quickly and obediently came up and stood next to Zhang Yang.

"Assistant?"

"Brother Zhang is quite the ladies' man, having such an assistant right in front of him every day is a real treat for the eyes."

They were joking, but because they weren't quite sure how deep the relationship was between Zhang Yang and his assistant, they didn't dare to make any overly explicit jokes.

Even so, Bai Jingyi's face was burning hot, and she kept her head down.

"That young lady just graduated, don't joke around like that," Zhang Yang casually reminded her, and immediately the surroundings quieted down.

As Bai Jingyi heard the sudden silence around her, a surge of security welled up inside her.

She subtly moved closer to Zhang Yang, subtly sensing Zhang Yang status there. It was clear they all respected their male boss.

A moment later, Zhang Yang took his Phantom to get a car wrap applied.

For Rolls-Royce's ceiling, naturally, you need to apply the top-of-the-line paint protection film, which is also the shop's best-kept secret, costing over 100,000 yuan per set.

It looks expensive, but compared to this car, it's unbelievably cheap.

"Bai Jingyi, you don't have anything to do today. Go home now. You can go to work as usual tomorrow." Zhang Yang beckoned to Bai Jingyi and gave her some instructions.

The car cover will be safely completed in a day or two. There's no point in Bai Jingyi staying here, so it's better to just send her away.

"Then, Chairman Zhang, I'll be going now," Secretary Xiaobai quickly replied.

She finally understood that to be an assistant, besides being observant, you also need to be compliant.

A moment later, she walked out of the store.

Not far away, a pink Rolls-Royce Wraith slowly drove up and stopped.

Out of curiosity, Bai Jingyi stopped and watched from afar with a hint of envy.

A moment later, the car door opened, and a tall, slender figure stepped out. She was fair-skinned and beautiful, clearly a young lady from a wealthy family.

That kind of demeanor makes one feel ashamed of oneself.

"What a beautiful, rich, and fair-skinned woman," she murmured to herself, then paused slightly.

Because she saw that after the figure got out of the car, he walked straight into the store and then actually went to meet her male god boss Zhang Yang.

Judging from the girl's expression, she looked completely adoring, like a little fangirl.

"I was right! I just wonder who this girl is. Is she my girlfriend, or...?" Bai Jingyi's gossipy nature was piqued.

My roommate came over to ask about my job search.

"Oh, right, I was just about to tell you guys that I've started the job." She had so much to share.

···

In the evening, Zhang Yang got into Xiang Xiaotian's pink Wraith, ostensibly to check on the preparations for the Cloud Sea Club.

The two found a restaurant and chatted while they ate.

"By the way, Xiao Tian, I always hear people say that you have a childhood betrothal, is it true?" Zhang Yang asked curiously.

"Yes, my grandfather mentioned it, but I've never seen it." Xiang Xiaotian, dressed lightly, rested her chin on her hand and looked at Zhang Yang with a smile. "Brother Zhang, do you want me to have one or not?"

"Whether I have it or not is none of my business," Zhang Yang shook his head.

"That's true, Brother Zhang, of course you don't care. After all, you're surrounded by so many girls, how could you possibly notice someone as pitiful as me?" Xiang Xiaotian wrinkled her nose slightly, stirring the spoon in her cup.

"I really am just an unwanted kitten or puppy."

"You're a rich heiress, it's not unreasonable for a whole street to line up to chase after you, right? And nobody wants you? You wear luxury brands and drive Wraith? Are you going to keep playing the victim with me?" Zhang Yang said, amused.

The implication is that he certainly understands, but if he doesn't lack for it, he'd rather avoid getting involved with rich, beautiful, and successful women.

Once you touch it, you can't shake it off.

"Okay." Xiang Xiaotian glanced at Zhang Yang's phone on the table, which was flashing with messages from different profile pictures, one after another. "Brother Zhang, was that girl from last time really your girlfriend?"

"Hmm." Zhang Yang nodded.

"And these are... female friends?" Xiang Xiaotian pointed meaningfully at Zhang Yang's phone.

"Yeah, I have female friends like you." Zhang Yang casually flipped his phone over so Xiang Xiaotian wouldn't keep staring at it. "Have you finished eating? If you're done, take me home."
