C525 – The Meeting Turned into a Recruitment Drive
In Meng Haitao’s view, Su Ming was just playing for time. “What kind of position could you possibly secure?” he thought, certain that the delay would cause everyone to lose patience and scatter. But Su Ming paid him no mind, instead turning his attention to Liang Xue.
”I’m a bit parched. Could you fetch me a bottle of water?” Su Ming asked with a grin.
“Of course!” Liang Xue nodded eagerly and scurried off. She descended alone, but returned with seven or eight others in tow.
“I got this water!” one exclaimed.
“It’s mine, mine!” another insisted.
“Mr. Su, don’t drink hers, my water is sweeter!” a third offered.
“Mine’s even sweeter!” a fourth chimed in.
“I warmed this bottle with my heart,” declared another.
“So did I!” echoed yet another.
These seven or eight young women were as attractive as Liang Xue, all considered Divine Level beauties from Eastsea Technology University. They now flocked around Su Ming, buzzing with excitement, their eyes sparkling.
Su Ming, overwhelmed by the attention, thought to himself, “Hey, hey, hey! Could you not stand so close? It’s nice and all, but don’t you worry about squishing me? Ouch! Hey! Who just stole a kiss? There goes my first kiss... again! Are girls always this bold?”
He had tolerated their earlier remarks, but now he was puzzled. “What’s this about warming water with your heart? Look, you’re certainly beautiful and have a great figure, but you’re a bit... petite, a bit... too close for comfort. The surface area for warming is just not sufficient.”
Meng Haitao watched from the sidelines, utterly frustrated. “Is the difference between people really this vast?” he wondered. “I ask for water and get served by just one person. I give a flirtatious wink and it’s met with disgust. But Su Ming asks for water and he’s swarmed by beauties. That Liang Xue, who seemed to want to keep her distance from me, is now glued to his side!”
Burning with envy, Meng Haitao clenched his teeth and turned away. “These naive girls are all about looks right now. But they’ll learn. In this society, money reigns supreme. They’ll regret overlooking a high-quality guy like me.”
Making such a mistake could be the biggest blunder of your lifetime!
At last, Su Ming managed to grab a bottle of water and took a sip to soothe his throat. But the group of girls showed no signs of leaving, crowding around him. Meng Haitao couldn’t stand it any longer.
“Someone, I’d like some water too,” he said.
Having only Liang Xue by my side meant I wouldn’t have to feel too embarrassed without a crowd of girls.
But no sooner had he spoken than a water bottle came flying at him.
“Thud!”
It landed with a crash right by Meng Haitao’s feet and rolled away.
Meng Haitao was dumbfounded.
Damn it!
Could the disparity in treatment be any more blatant?
I’m the owner of a billion-dollar company, for crying out loud.
Is this the respect I get?
Principal Xie, didn’t you just say Liang Xue was assigned to assist me?
But when Meng Haitao turned around, he found Principal Xie paying him no mind.
”You guys...”
He was on the verge of losing his temper when the door swung open.
President Chen entered with a beaming smile, followed by Wang Guohui.
Old Master Loong and others were present too, along with the representatives of Su Ming’s 100 companies, including Boss Fong.
”Holy smokes, isn’t that the president of Eastsea’s biggest bank?”
“Are you kidding me, isn’t that the chairman of the Wang Group?”
“Holy cow! Isn’t that Old Master Loong from the Longzhi Food and Beverage Group?”
“Mother of all, so many companies?”
“Damn, these are the companies I wouldn’t even dare to send my resume to!”
The students were abuzz with excitement upon seeing these figures.
All of them were graduates, mostly from Eastsea, and naturally, they were eager to land a job in their hometown. They had researched various companies in preparation for graduation and were familiar with these renowned Eastsea City firms.
He was looking to replace a batch of old employees.
These old employees were slacking off daily.
Their work was mediocre at best.
They had created a toxic work environment.
By replacing these complacent old workers with a fresh group of enthusiastic new employees and students, the company’s spirit was sure to be revitalized, brimming with youthful energy!
Wang Guohui made a grand gesture!
He offered 80 positions right off the bat!
These came with comprehensive benefits, including full insurance, meals, accommodation, a nine-to-five schedule, no overtime, and a plethora of additional perks!
Next up was Old Master Loong.
He was recruiting for the hotel management sector.
50 positions available!
Each person took their turn to speak.
There were over 100 company bosses present.
The majority were offering 20-30 positions.
A few had seventy to eighty spots open.
It was the perfect opportunity to scoop up all these students.
The students below erupted into loud cheers.
“Senior Su, Senior Su!”
“Senior Su is the best!”
“We’re being cheered on by Senior Su!”
The students below excitedly waved their hands in the air.
What a joyous occasion!
The teachers in the back were equally overjoyed.
Xie Haijun was so delighted his face turned beet red.
Principal Ye was absolutely beaming.
After all, Mr. Su was one of Eastsea University’s own!
After a brief discussion,
The seminar quickly transformed into a massive job fair.
Leaders cleared the tables away,
Replacing them with individual stations for each company.
The boss of a company with 100 employees
Directly collected resumes.
The more students they hired, the more they honored Mr. Su.
These companies were nearly beside themselves with excitement!
“Come on, Soong, that’s not fair. I’m telling you, I’ve got dibs on this student! Listen, student, Soong is a real slave driver, all work and no rest. Come to me, work nine to five, and I’ll pay you a salary of 20,000 a month!”
“Don’t listen to his blather. I’ll offer you 30,000!”
“I’ll go to 40,000!”
When they encountered an exceptionally talented student,
Several company bosses turned red in the face,
Arguing heatedly on the spot.
They nearly came to blows!
