Chen Liang quickly stepped in front of Yang Chen and said, "Wu Chaohui, did you two leave your brains at home? How stupid do you have to be to have such thoughts?"
Wu Chaohui: "Chen Liang, didn’t you hate him the most when we were in school? How come you’re under his spell now?"
Chen Liang: "Idiot! Get lost, stop embarrassing yourself here. Your dad and brother suddenly died, and you inherited the family estate. How convenient is it that your dad and brother died simultaneously? Who knows if there’s a story behind it?"
Wu Chaohui suddenly became anxious and said, "Chen Liang, I warn you not to talk nonsense!"
Chen Liang: "I’m not talking nonsense! I’m just raising questions based on normal logic."
Yang Chen smiled and patted Chen Liang on the shoulder, signaling him to return to his seat, then waved his hand to call the bodyguards over.
The five bodyguards responsible for protecting Yang Chen rushed over immediately, pushing Wu Chaohui and Zhou Yu aside and escorting Yang Chen out of the scene.
Zhou Yu: "You sure can put on a show! Even hired a few bodyguards to act along."
Yang Chen ignored them, but he didn’t plan to let them go.
"Inform Qiu Tian to send some people over to give them a lesson," Yang Chen said.
The bodyguard next to him promptly called Qiu Tian, relaying Yang Chen’s orders to him.
Zhou Yu laughed and said, "Fellow students, don’t listen to his nonsense. Be practical and consider the job positions we’re offering."
For some bosses, fresh graduates are extremely appealing because they jump at jobs even when migrant workers refuse the wages.
Anyway, frontline positions can be replaced anytime. Use this cheap labor for a year, then recruit graduates next year for replacement.
If a problem can be solved with a monthly salary of three thousand, why pay five thousand or even more?
The students couldn’t take it anymore.
"We are graduates from Hai City Finance University, how could you suggest we go into steelmaking, coal mining, or selling boxed meals? How can you even say that?"
"Exactly! I’d rather go back home and farm than do those jobs!"
"Truly treating us university graduates as cheap labor. I’d rather deliver food, or like Senior Yang Chen, drive for ride-sharing apps. Isn’t that better than mining coal, making steel, laying bricks, or selling meals?"
"What the heck! Knowing alumni like this are coming for recruitment, I’d rather sleep in the dorm. What a waste of time!"
...
Wu Chaohui and others looked embarrassed, but they didn’t want to be disliked either.
"Given the current economic situation, many companies are downsizing aggressively; finding a job is harder than eating crap. Don’t have high standards; as long as you can support yourself, it’s better than relying on parents."
"Exactly! You’re being picky. If you were so outstanding, you would’ve found a job already. Why would you need the school to arrange recruitment meetings? You’re not great yourself, yet you criticize this and that."
"When I first graduated, I was just like you, dreaming of sitting in an office doing jobs worth millions per minute. And the result? Haha... Once reality hits you, you’ll know how naive those thoughts are. Alumni are using their own experiences to guide you, you better appreciate it!"
...
As everyone was chatting idly, dozens of cars rolled into the Finance University campus.
All the cars headed straight to the student activity center, lining up along the roadside.
At that moment, the head of the academic affairs office excitedly ran in and said to Ge Sulan, "Principal, they’re here, they’re here!"
Ge Sulan: "Who’s here?"
The head of the academic affairs office: "The company Yang Chen mentioned is here, there’s quite a few dozen cars."
"What? So many!" Ge Sulan exclaimed, quickly running to the window to take a look.
The students also rushed to the window to watch the commotion.
"Wow, so many cars!"
"If each car represents a company, aren’t there dozens of companies coming to recruit?"
"Senior Yang Chen wasn’t lying; he really brought so many companies here for recruitment!"
"You all doubted Senior Yang Chen’s ability, it’s really laughable. He drives for ride-sharing apps just to pass the time, yet you insist he does it for a living."
"Exactly! You even said he donated his parents’ estate. If it were you, would you donate your parents’ inheritance and then drive for ride-sharing apps to earn a living? Don’t know what you were thinking."
"Oh come on! Can you stop being a backseat driver? When everyone was skeptical before, didn’t hear you saying so much sense."
"Great, great, this shows Senior Yang Chen is still very capable, he remains my role model."
...
Recruitment personnel from various companies walked into the activity center, quickly filling up the stage.
Wu Chaohui and Zhou Yu exchanged a glance, whispering to each other.
Wu Chaohui: "Damn, he really found so many companies."
Zhou Yu: "Could they be actors he hired to show off?"
Wu Chaohui: "Not likely, there’s no need for that."
Zhou Yu: "Let’s listen to what companies they are first."
Ge Sulan was so happy he couldn’t stop smiling, quickly greeting and welcoming all the employers.
Then he said loudly, "Students, your Senior Yang Chen didn’t break his promise, really bringing so many companies here for you. Perform well, this is a crucial interview for your future. Distinguished guests, you may begin."
The HR manager of Qiao Jiangnan stood up and said, "Hello students, I’m Wang Lina, the HR manager of Qiao Jiangnan. I’ve been instructed by major shareholder Mr. Chen to recruit some reserve talent today. As our restaurant is about to go public, there will definitely be rapid expansion. We currently need to recruit 300 positions, including store managers, accountants for each store, headquarters sales personnel, and purchasing staff. Therefore, graduates with backgrounds in business, accounting, management who are interested, please submit your resumes for review."
