Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?!-Chapter 64: Because I’ve Seen It!

Jiang Yuan silently sent back an OK emoji.

It definitely has nothing to do with me! freёnovelkiss.com

The real reason the company went bankrupt is because the boss cut corners. It can’t possibly be because I fixed a few pictures for them and took 200 yuan!

I didn’t even go to work or see the boss face to face, how could I have caused the company to go bankrupt?

Just as he was giving himself a pep talk, his phone rang again. He glanced at it; it was an unknown number. He answered it casually, "Who is this?"

"Hello, our boss saw your CV online, is very interested in your background, and would like to meet and chat with you. Mr. Jiang Yuan, when would you be available?"

Hearing the HR’s gentle voice mention the CV, Jiang Yuan remembered his self-deprecating "business jinx" profile and felt a bit complicated, "Is a meeting and chat an interview?"

"No, no, please don’t misunderstand. We don’t have any intention to hire you for work. It’s just that our boss wants to make a friend and also wants to recommend a very nice job to you. Is that convenient for you?"

That statement was watertight. Could it be that the boss is worried about starting a work relationship with me and having his own company go bankrupt too?

Jiang Yuan thought it over carefully. Once a company is registered and starts operations, maintaining it and delivering goods are all Yang Hongye’s responsibility. Being the boss seems like it only requires sorting out "procurement," so it wouldn’t affect doing some side business.

Young people should seize the opportunity to find more ways to earn money. The money in your hands is truly yours!

They quickly agreed on a time and place. At 3 PM, sitting in Lanting Tea House drinking Longjing that wasn’t as good as Chuci’s tea, he still felt reality was surreal.

Someone really believed that CV!

He was a bit curious about the boss who kept emphasizing wanting to make friends and wondered what kind of experience and sentiments led to recommending a job to him?

"Sorry, I got caught in a three-car accident blocking the road, so I’m a few minutes late." At 3:05 PM, a burly bald man wearing a gold chain pushed open the appointed private room door and came in. Seeing him stand up, he smiled and motioned him to sit, "Don’t be formal, we’re just meeting to make a friend, and I’m recommending a job for you."

Jiang Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, "Boss Zhang..."

"Don’t! Don’t call me boss!" Zhang Zhiqiang raised his hand to stop him and said, "Call me brother. We’re friends, not related to work. No matter when, don’t call me boss."

Seeing his defensive stance, Jiang Yuan felt a bit embarrassed and could only tactically drink tea to clumsily change the subject, "Brother Zhang, what kind of job are you looking to introduce? Although I have quite a diverse work history, I haven’t worked long in any industry. If the interview is very strict and demanding, I might not be confident to succeed."

He was speaking plain facts; in the eighteen companies he’d worked for, not one lasted more than three months. How much work experience could he have?

"You don’t need to worry about that. Since I’m introducing you to work, I can help you settle it!" Zhang Zhiqiang’s small eyes squinted as he grinned, smoothing his bald head with his right hand as he promised, "If the job isn’t stable and you can’t last three months, I’ll even give you a 30,000 yuan red envelope as compensation."

Truly worthy of being a boss, he sure knows how to twist concepts.

Introduce a job, ensure compensation for instability; the two parties have no work relationship, so there’s no worry of being "jinxed."

"The job I’m introducing to you is to be an assistant to an advertising company boss."

Zhang Zhiqiang took a sip of tea and patiently explained, "That boss and his wife were former employees of my company. They were both salespeople and often went out on business trips together. One thing led to another, and they started a relationship. Just a couple of years ago, there was a village demolition, and the woman had some cash, so they poached my clients and started their own company.

It was nothing major; we all compete with our abilities.

But their tactics were a bit too unscrupulous. They specifically hired pretty girls at high salaries under the guise of being salespeople, but in fact, they were mistresses for those clients who kept them on the side. They’d claim to be going out for business talks, when in reality it was all about wining, dining, and entertainment. It’s neither illegal nor easy to catch them red-handed.

And because they didn’t have genuinely professional salespeople, they couldn’t expand their client base, so they relied on the connections from when they worked at my place, focusing on poaching my clients and intercepting my advertising resources!

After all my hard work of finding clients without signing deals, they wooed away my clients with their beauties and snagged the ad resources I had negotiated without even a signed contract. Where do I go for justice when they’re fleecing me?

Jiang Yuan silently drank his tea and listened to the gossip.

You can’t believe one side’s story completely, but it has nothing to do with him, so he just enjoyed listening to the drama.

"It’s kind of fate that we brothers know each other. By chance, that company’s boss lady had a kid and is home on leave, entrusting all company matters to her husband. She’s well aware of their company’s nature, so to strictly prevent any infidelity, she strongly pressured her husband to replace all female secretaries and assistants with men, conveniently planting an insider to keep an eye out."

Zhang Zhiqiang smacked the table and laughed, "I’m taking this opportunity to slot you in! Anyway, their company is not legitimate. As long as you know how to use basic office software, you’ll be fine. Being able to drive is a bonus. But there’s one thing I need to remind you, brother: the place is full of little temptations, so be sure to hold your ground! Young people should take responsibility for their bodies. These kinds of messy situations are the easiest to catch something from!"

Jiang Yuan: ...

From the sounds of it, the whole place is a mess?

After sipping some tea and discussing the job being recommended, he couldn’t contain his curiosity and asked, "Brother Zhang, do you really believe I can handle it? What if, and I’m just saying what if, I’m not successful?"

"I won’t suffer any loss!" Zhang Zhiqiang patted his bald head, his smile broadening, "No compensation needed, and recommending a stable job to you to make a friend is just like doing a good deed."

After saying that, he downed his tea in a single gulp and said mysteriously, "But I believe in your abilities. I checked each of those companies on your CV, eighteen of them! Brother, this achievement is impressive and admirable!"

"Actually, many of them weren’t due to my fault but poor management by their bosses." Jiang Yuan’s face flushed slightly as he tried to explain, "The business world is like a battlefield; it’s inevitable that some investments fail and can’t continue..."

The bald man was clearly in a good mood, laughing heartily and nodding, "I get it. Why am I so willing to introduce work to you? Mainly because I’ve met someone unique like you before.

Some years back, my company had a logistics girl, not very tall or remarkable, the type you’d overlook in a crowd, with an ordinary family background.

Her situation was interesting!

She had a great personality, cheerful and genuine. Her first boyfriend was someone she pursued and won over in two months, the accountant from the neighboring company. They were quite a match class-wise. But less than three months into the relationship, his family’s failing chicken farm got acquired for a highway project, bringing in a few million. The guy immediately resigned, dumped her, and inherited the family business, buying a car and house to chase after rich white girls."

"Though the demolition wasn’t the girl’s fault, ditching someone so promptly seems..." Jiang Yuan mused aloud, wondering if there was absolutely no affection left. Even if now wealthier, he shouldn’t be so ruthless, right?

"Isn’t that just it, though? When you have nothing, you’re all lovey-dovey. Once he had money, he immediately turned cold. However, this money allowed the girl to see her ex’s true colors and avoid jumping into that fire pit."

Zhang Zhiqiang poured himself another cup of tea and continued his story, "The second relationship was even more outrageous. The girl had barely recovered from her heartache when she found a newly graduated poor college student to date, all with marriage in mind. She not only covered their expenses but supported him in focusing on civil service exams. Six months into the relationship, as soon as he passed his exam, he dumped her.

The third guy, after a month of dating, got swooned by a rich woman; the fourth relationship lasted six months, and during the engagement ceremony, the police showed up. That’s when they found out the guy was a trafficked child, and his biological parents were billionaires. He just left with them, ditching his fiancée...
