The class monitor had better grades, but Xu Yun was more handsome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, throughout high school, they were evenly matched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl was torn, wavering between the two of them without ever making a choice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But once they all got to college, the girl figured out what really mattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the end, the class monitor won out thanks to his family’s \"hard power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking back now, Xu Yun felt that he hadn’t lost unfairly at the time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He later heard, however, that they didn’t last long before breaking up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, in college, there’s always someone better out there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The class monitor ended up losing her to a senior with even more \"hard power.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun thought, ’If that girl from back then met the me of today, the class monitor probably wouldn’t even have had the chance to buy her breakfast.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sighing with a touch of nostalgia, he continued scrolling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few days ago, his mom had made a rare post on her Moments feed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was just a casual share of a video showing a molten iron firework performance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had added a comment: \"These molten iron fireworks are so beautiful. I wonder if they have them around here.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun had been racking his brain for a birthday gift for his mom. Seeing her post, an idea immediately sparked in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This year, instead of regular fireworks for Mom’s birthday, I’ll put on a molten iron firework show.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He would give her a spectacular \"firework display.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This intangible cultural heritage wasn’t practiced in their area, but that didn’t matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’With money, what kind of master craftsman can’t I hire?’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If there were none here, he would just bring the masters from somewhere else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He clicked on the molten iron firework video and watched it through, mainly trying to find out where it was filmed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, it would be even better if the video included contact information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, after watching it once, he only found a location address, with no contact details whatsoever.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time was tight. He had to get in touch with them quickly, or it would be too late.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He picked up his phone and called Yu Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hello, Boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since she had nothing else to do, Yu Xuan had come to the office with Su Mu that morning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are you right now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the office.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, stay put. I’m on my way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>「Half an hour later」\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun arrived at the company, driving his Continental.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the second batch of interviewees notified by Ning Qian were sitting inside, waiting to be interviewed by Su Mu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan was temporarily acting as her secretary, responsible for calling out the numbers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Xu Yun appeared at the office, Ning Qian saw him and greeted him with a smile, maintaining a professional distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although the two of them had been at \"negative distance\" all last night, during the day, things had to be kept professional.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he walked through the office, he rounded a corner and saw a familiar face: Manager Li.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiaoguang was also stunned for a moment when he saw Xu Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sparks fly when old enemies meet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiaoguang considered Xu Yun an enemy; Xu Yun considered Li Xiaoguang a nobody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he hadn’t bumped into him so suddenly, he would have completely forgotten the guy existed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, well, if it isn’t our very own Manager Li.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun glanced at the resume in his hand and chuckled. \"Are you here for an interview?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s it to you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiaoguang retorted unhappily, \"Don’t tell me you’re here for an interview too?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Nope. I’m here to see someone.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun said, feigning kindness, \"Take my advice and try another company. You’re not going to pass the interview here anyway.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And who are you to say I won’t pass?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiaoguang shot back angrily, \"You think you own this company or something?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s right, I do.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I don’t believe you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Xiaoguang said with contempt, \"You? Start a business? And one this big? Do you have the ability for that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, Yu Xuan came out, ready to call in the next candidate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Xu Yun, she hurried over and called out, \"Boss.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’re just in time. Number six here doesn’t need to go in for his interview.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun said, \"He hasn’t even joined the company and he already dares to talk back to the boss. You can tell he’s no good. We can’t have him.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Li Xiaoguang was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, Boss. I’ll take care of it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll wait for you in my office then. Get Ning Qian to come help you out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun glanced at the dumbfounded Li Xiaoguang, then turned and left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sir, I’m sorry.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Xuan looked at Li Xiaoguang and said politely, \"You do not meet our company’s hiring requirements. You may leave now.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Li Xiaoguang was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other interviewees looked at each other in dismay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This guy is so pathetic,’ they thought. ’He managed to offend the boss before he even got to the interview.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After showing Li Xiaoguang out, Yu Xuan had Ning Qian take her place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She then went to Xu Yun’s office.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yu Xuan, pack your things. You’re coming with me to take care of something.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where are we going?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun said, \"To Situ Town in Shanxi. We need to find one hundred master craftsmen for a molten iron firework show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Su Mu finished interviewing for the day, she learned that Xu Yun had been to the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she finally had a moment to look for him, he and Yu Xuan had already been gone for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She asked Ning Qian, \"Xu Yun just got here. Where did he go off to again?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He didn’t say.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ning Qian replied, \"He left in a big hurry with Secretary Yu. He said he was going on a business trip and would be back tomorrow.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" Su Mu was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She tried calling Xu Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His phone was turned off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Xu Yun and Yu Xuan had already boarded a first-class flight to Shanxi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his private bank card, travel was as convenient as it could possibly be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An hour and a half later, they landed in Shanxi and immediately got into a pre-arranged business van, heading straight for Situ Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By a little after three in the afternoon, the two of them had arrived in Situ Town, hundreds of miles away from Jiangcheng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Situ Town was a tourist town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was most famous for its intangible cultural heritage performances, with the molten iron fireworks being one of them. Not long ago, it had even applied for a Guinness World Record for the largest-scale molten iron firework display.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The video his mother had shared was indeed from that event, and it was truly spectacular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun and Yu Xuan arrived in an unfamiliar place, knowing no one. Their only option was to let money pave the way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides, searching for the craftsmen one by one would be too troublesome and time-consuming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A place like this was bound to have some kind of governing body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just needed to find the relevant management agency to negotiate with and then decide what to do based on the situation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pair spent a few hundred yuan to hire a local informant and successfully found the leader in charge of tourism-related affairs in Situ Town.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as they met, Xu Yun didn’t beat around the bush. He first introduced himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this kind of situation, his personal identity wasn’t appropriate, so he used his title as the General Manager of Baiyun Media Co., Ltd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then immediately stated his intentions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And presented him with two cartons of premium cigarettes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director, here’s the situation. My mother’s birthday is in a couple of days, and she wants to see a molten iron firework show.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun continued, \"So, I’ve come all this way hoping to invite a few of your town’s master craftsmen to my hometown to put on a performance. I was wondering if you could help me get in touch with them?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Xu Yun’s generosity, the director didn’t hesitate and accepted the gift directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’He’s just thanking me for helping him contact some craftsmen,’ the director thought. ’It’s not like I’m doing anything illegal.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>’This doesn’t count as taking a bribe.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Xu Yun’s request, the director asked, \"President Xu, how many craftsmen are you looking for? The masters here are all very skilled; they perform with molten iron year-round.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One hundred,\" Xu Yun replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How many?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director was shocked. \"Are you saying you want to find 100 craftsmen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that a bit much?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not a bit much, it’s a lot. A performance only requires a few people.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The director looked at Xu Yun with a complicated expression and explained, \"When our town applied for the Guinness record for the largest-scale molten iron firework display, we only gathered 108 people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wanting so many people all of a sudden... I think that might be difficult. After all, many of them are unwilling to travel out of town.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I know it’s a little difficult, but I want to try.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yun smiled. \"Since I’m doing this, as her son, I want to give my mom a truly unforgettable, grand performance. Let her see it to her heart’s content, all in one go.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\" The director was speechless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>-----\u003C\u002Fp>",1611,"2026-06-03T11:41:56.865Z","2026-06-03T11:42:08.162Z",1,"novelbin.me","c8ec83c3c1fa68535762830461ea6ba4ee0cf363123c0d7cadb311e778eed199","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-214","super-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-chapter-212",284,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fsuper-rich-by-doing-as-you-please-cover.jpg"]
