Chapter 330: Campus Recruitment Mascot

~13 min read 2,461 words

If you don't get married, you won't receive any red envelopes.

But it seems their family has nothing to do with Uncle Guo, so Uncle Guo probably won't invite her to his wedding.

"Uncle probably just doesn't want to get married, Can Can, let's go home!"

Liang Yan doesn't want to waste energy on irrelevant people. Talking with Uncle is less worthwhile than heading home to rest early.

Tang Can doesn't want to leave, "Uncle, you look familiar!"

She seems to have seen him before? Guo Yingbai answered the previous question with a perfectly normal expression, "I haven't married because I demand a good match! I have high standards!"

Liang Yan didn't understand, "Then why does that high‑standard aunt reject you? Is it because you're too lacking?"

He wants a high‑standard aunt, but hasn't married yet, so is his own condition poor? "Maybe it's like a toad dreaming of swan meat—pure fantasy!"

Tang Can recalled who Guo Yingbai was; he had even scolded her!

Liang Yan examined Guo Yingbai's face closely and said, "Perhaps his conditions are indeed a bit lacking!"

Guo Yingbai, after being hit repeatedly, muttered, "Next time I go out I'll definitely check the almanac!"

Talking about that, Liang Yan no longer rushed to go home.

Liang Lijiang and Zhu Xueheng, seeing that Liang Yan liked to dress up dolls, gave her a beauty salon. She often watches videos of those uncles and aunts doing makeup.

"Uncle, you can wear makeup!"

The beauty that comes from makeup is truly beautiful! Who gave the person being made up a face that looks good with makeup? "Our family has a beauty salon!"

Liang Yan pulled a business card from her bag and said, "The business cards I give can be discounted!"

【Huo Huo is getting better at business; that sounds so flattering! Her shop clearly offers discounts even to new customers.】

"Thanks!"

Guo Yingbai took the business card from Liang Yan, only wanting to get rid of those two little brats quickly.

"You're coming home so late; aren't your family worried?"

Considering he's a potential client, Liang Yan answered seriously, "No, the streets on both sides of the community have 360‑degree, dead‑angle‑free cameras every meter."

The security guards in charge of monitoring the community work three shifts, and they're energetic young uncles, constantly watching the feeds.

When Liang Yan accompanied his father to a homeowners' event, he conducted a surprise inspection. Every guard was very diligent. Moreover, the security room itself has its own cameras, and all owners can log in to view them. Liang Yan saw the footage—high‑definition but boring.

Seeing Guo Yingbai's awkward grin, Su Yu felt like laughing.

"Huo Huo, Can Can, let me take you home!"

"Alright!"

Liang Yan agreed, and Tang Can, seeing Liang Yan's stance, stopped insisting on revenge and first took Su Yu's hand and walked out.

Liang Yan skillfully took Su Yu's other hand.

Guo Yingbai sat down to drink water, then felt something was off, "Why aren't you at all surprised? Did you already know?"

Su Yi had indeed known for a long time, but he hadn't investigated, and the company had no such records. He lied without blinking, "You're not unaware of our family's affairs. No matter how explosive, they can't compare to ours."

Guo Yingbai disagreed; his own matters were also quite explosive, on par with the Su family's.

"You're not the one marrying into the Luo family; have you found a good way out?"

Su Yi was more concerned about Guo Yingbai's future. Those clubs and assets of his, outwardly a self‑started business, in reality lack family backing, so he could be stripped of them at any moment.

"Switch to another one?"

Su Yi sneered, "How are you more naive than me? Is your brother's snatching of the Luo marriage for true love?"

Guo Yingbai gazed softly at Su Yi, "You and your younger sibling aren't true love?"

"Of course it's true love; don't compare that trash to me!"

Su Yi was extremely disgusted!

"I called those two trash, why are you pulling me into it?"

In Su Yi's world, not giving girls protection and making them bear the stigma of premarital pregnancy is what he calls trash!

Unlike him, he and Yan Yan only got together after obtaining a marriage certificate! He even left a large sum of money for Yan Yan! Su Yu is also a proper, legitimate child of marriage!

"Isn't that strange? Those two, under the banner of true love, executed a brilliant marketing scheme."

The two knew full well that no one in the circle would believe they were true love, so they bought Hot Search on public platforms, flaunted happiness, claiming they were well‑matched families, childhood sweethearts, a loving couple.

There really were uninformed people who were deceived and believed the two were true love.

Su Yi rolled his eyes, "Which family's true love would sacrifice their beloved to be gossiped about? Which true love would have the beloved pregnant before marriage? They still haven't even gotten a marriage certificate!"

Not to mention, those two's marriage also carries a life‑debt! "Tsk, you get it, so why does that fool from the Luo family still agree to trade his older sister for a lover?"

Guo Yingbai had indeed been demanding; he envied Su Yi and Ji Yan's relationship and wanted to marry a true love. Now that there's a "true love" example in his own family, he feels a benefit‑based union is more reassuring.

He doesn't have that luck!

"Looks like you took action! Stop nagging; if people don't know, they'll think you're eyeing your sister‑in‑law, too chatty and lacking authority!"

Guo Yingbai thought to himself, he still hasn't inherited the family business, so what authority does he have? Su Yu sent the two little companions home, then returned to hear Guo Yingbai still nagging Su Yi about the Luo and Guo families' trivial matters; Su Yi impatiently retorted at Guo Yingbai but didn't drive him away.

Su Yu went to find her mother to take a shower and rest, ignoring the two.

……

"Uncle, where are we going?"

The quartet in the back seat all stared at the co‑driver, Su Xi.

After finally waiting for the weekend, Su Yu wanted to finish her class and go shopping at the mall with her mother. Zhu Xueheng gave her a high‑value mall shopping card, which she could just spend!

But the teacher didn't show up, and Su Xi still let the four of them get in the car.

This time the four kids got in together: Su Yu, Liang Yan, Tang Can, and a kid named Guoguo.

"The Su Clan and other companies are holding a joint recruitment; let me take you to see it."

"Oh, okay!"

【Wulongcha, why is there a recruitment?】

Your big uncle cleared out a batch of useless Connection Households and riffraff, and there happens to be a task above, he plans to recruit a batch of fresh graduates.

Then why bring Huo Huo, Can Can and Guoguo? Guoguo doesn't understand anything, right?

Fortunately several companies have tasks, they made a joint recruitment. Bringing them together was the idea of their adults. Their adults are already waiting in the small venue.

Several big companies recruited, directly renting a small conference room at the school. Moreover, they prepared various gifts for those classmates who passed the résumé screening.

Each company gives different gifts to the rejected and the interview‑passed students.

When Su Yu and the other three arrived, each was given a fitting junior scholar robe and junior scholar cap.

Wow, was this specially custom‑made?

Wulongcha circled Su Yu once; it also wants it quite a bit.

Exactly, it was specially tailored to your figures, cute and good‑looking. The arrival of the four children raised the venue atmosphere to its peak. College students surfing the net obviously know the identity of the quartet, and because they know, they harbor fantasies—what if the kids take a liking to them?

Su Yu and the others seem to have a lot of say at home?

Some think these companies bringing kids is childish, not taking their futures seriously, so they simply want their résumés back and will apply to other firms.

"Big uncle, when does it start?"

"It has already started."

Before Su Xi and the others arrived, the first round had already begun.

"Later will be the final interview; if you don't like someone, tell me, understand?"

Zhu Xueheng wore a calm expression, while fellow examiners Shi Xu, Ren Tiandu and Tang Tang wore surprised faces.

Shi Xu thought for a few seconds, "If that person has high talent but she doesn't like them, you still won't issue an offer?"

"Right!"

Shi Xu didn't understand, Su Xi is over‑pampering Su Yu, right? That's absurd! Su Yu was discussing with Wulongcha, "Wulongcha, how many people are there, what type of cards should we draw?"

To bless oneself with Lucky Card, you have to set the scope.

Regarding the company, Su Yu plans to use two Lucky Cards.

"Company people must be capable and also have good character."

Wulongcha thinks both ability and character are important.

"But the problem is, fresh graduates' abilities can't compare to seasoned staff; in terms of ability, everyone starts on the same line, all newbies. Drawing ability‑testing cards doesn't help much."

"Then test potential?"

"Good idea!"

Su Yu used two Lucky Cards on herself, drawing a hundred times.

"Wulongcha, I really suspect your drop rates are manually controlled."

The last Misfortune Card and Direction Card were coincidences; is this one also a coincidence?

Potential Card and Character Card each have fifty copies, that's too matching, isn't it? 【Potential Card: tests target's potential. Note: potential changes with environment, resources, etc.; result reflects current potential.】

【Character Card: tests target's character. Note: character test evaluates based on the target's life experiences from birth to now.】

Stacking these two cards together perfectly measures that person's potential and character.

"Host, card drop rates are random, uncontrollable. If they were controllable, I'd tell you the guaranteed drop!"

Wulongcha wants to leave this world earlier, to go back for maintenance.

"Then how do you explain these two times?"

"Coincidence? If you didn't use Lucky Cards, probably wouldn't be so fitting?"

Wulongcha flipped through Su Yu's small treasury, "You now have some savings, want to draw another hundred times to test? Or unlock the first‑charge of ten million, which gives a free hundred draws!"

"No, that's a pay‑to‑win trap!"

Su Yu is still poor; unless needed, she has no desire to draw cards. When she becomes rich, she'll splurge on a bulk draw, reducing a heart attack each time! "President, the interview staff are ready, shall we start now?"

Su Xi looked at Shi Xu and the others. Everyone nodded.

"Are the little kids ready? Afterwards, only when it's just us can we speak; when we chat with other brothers and sisters, you may only listen, not speak!"

Su Xi gently reminded the four kids.

Su Yu, Liang Yan and Tang Can understood, Guoguo didn't, but she heard Xiao Yu sister say, "Don't speak," and understood.

The first applicant to enter was applying for a Su Clan position.

Su Yu had Wulongcha throw both the Character Card and Potential Card onto him.

"Potential is high, but why is character negative? Wulongcha, the cards aren't wrong, right? His character plus his potential equals zero!"

"No, it's negative. I'll check."

Wulongcha glanced at the résumé on Su Xi's desk and quickly identified the person.

"This person is really no good! He's no good, has quirks, abuses cats and dogs!"

"If big uncle keeps him, I'll say I don't like him!"

Someone with such poor character might act violently someday. Such a potential danger, stay away from her company! Su Yu watched Su Xi chat with that person for a while, and even had him do a psychological survey.

When the applicant left, Shi Xu praised him, "His grades are great, mind is agile."

He came this time to recruit grassroots staff. If he were in a high position, they'd want to make an exception to bring him into their own company.

"Psychology fails, beware of backlash."

Shi Xu saw the psychological survey results and instantly dropped the idea.

People around him want to rise, as long as they don't use him as a stepping stone, he doesn't mind. But he also doesn't want to cultivate someone destined not to belong to him.

Zhu Xueheng at this moment leaned forward, "Later you'll guard for me?"

Su Xi neither accepted nor refused, "Later."

Whether he agrees isn't up to him. If Su Yu is willing she'll do it, if not she can't force it.

Besides, Zhu Xueheng can't possibly be willing to spend a million to recruit fifty people! Bad hires are dismissed directly, which is more cost‑effective than spending that million.

There was a first example, and later, no matter how outstanding the people who appeared were, Shi Xu remained uninterested. He's just here to make a cameo, and the recruitment focuses on cost‑effectiveness.

If someone's expected salary is within the given range and their ability is acceptable, that's who he wants! Su Xi, however, measured carefully; out of hundreds of interviewees, only ten were hired.

Ren Tiandu stretched lazily and teased Su Xi, "Your standards are way too high!"

With a stern expression and high demands, no wonder only so few were hired.

"We can't just hire people of poor character."

Wulongcha slumped on the table, unwilling to move.

【So tired—are the background‑check firms of these companies not working? How do the screened applicants have so many minor flaws?】

There are far too many who falsify resumes, have poor character, or deliberately cause trouble! 【Thanks for the hard work! Maybe this time we collected resumes on campus; no one is as good as you at quickly uncovering the applicants' issues. But Uncle, Zhu Xueheng, Ren Tiandu and Tang Tang are all great; only Shi Xu is slacking off!】

Shi Xu, seeing those people demand low wages, gave them his intention; after the company's background check, they can sign the contract.

Among the few, he was the first to recruit enough people.

【He hires those who can work; it doesn't matter. He doesn't need to stand out right now!】

The Shi Family members fight fiercely. Shi Xu, who only has two daughters and refuses to have more children, intends to pass the family business to his daughters, yet he was kicked out of the heir competition.

If he were too high‑profile, it couldn't be guaranteed he wouldn't be pulled back. As a candidate heir whose strength is heavily diminished, his fate likely won't be good.

【Is Shi Yu still bouncing?】

Thanks to the darlings for the votes—four thousand words—good night, darlings~
