I was forced to start the second round because I was raised in poverty

Chapter 360 He's Not My Type
Su Cheng and Ye Li felt very comfortable together.

At this moment, he, like Qin Fen, naively began to imagine.

It would be great if they could stay together forever.

You don't need to think about anything troubling, and you won't be bothered by any negative emotions.

He rationally told Ye Li, "Sister Li, if your business doesn't work out, you can come back to our group, and we can still be partners."

"You're cursing me?"

"No, no, no."

"Hmph, there's no way I'm going back."

"Ah? Why?"

"There's no reason why. I just left the company and I'm not going back."

Ye Li remains loyal to the group.

But her loyalty has become one of the driving forces behind her entrepreneurial journey.

The group allocated her the maximum budget for the Progressive Program, and she cannot betray that trust.

No matter how hard or tiring it is, she is determined to make her career a success.

If she were to retreat to the comfort zone of the consulting industry at the first sign of difficulty, that wouldn't be her style.

"Ok."

Su Cheng realized that he was still not rational enough, and his idea just now was indeed naive.

"Hey Sister Chestnut, can you show me the photos of those bank managers you found?"

"what?"

"I'll use my special abilities to look at their faces and help you judge whether they'll try to scam you later."

"Laughing my head off, when did you develop special abilities?"

"You don't understand, do you? Let me tell you, when I was showing a casino to a client in Australia, many consulting firms came, including Bell Labs and Boston Consulting Group, and there was even a feng shui master!"

Ye Li couldn't help but pout: "Eh? A Feng Shui master?"

"Yeah, it's fucking outrageous, and the key is that what he said is almost exactly what we've seen."

Su Cheng didn't tell Ye Li that they were using metaphysics disguised as science, but instead said, "I even learned a few tricks from the master."

Everything related to Feng Shui is based on behavioral science and psychology.

With a little experience and common sense, anyone can be a feng shui master.

For example, if you see the calligraphy of "厚德载物" (meaning "great virtue carries all things") hanging in a boss's office, he is most likely a pure bad person.

If someone embodies the principle of "tranquility leads to far-reaching goals," they might fly into a rage over the smallest things.

"Honesty is the foundation" definitely indicates a selfish person, and most likely a deadbeat.

Let's say the office displays the phrase "Great virtue carries all things," the shop/factory displays "Integrity is fundamental," and the home displays "Tranquility leads to far-reaching goals."

That goes without saying.

A pure, hardened criminal, a social remnant that wasn't caught up in the crackdown on organized crime.

As for physiognomy, it is actually just statistics.

The most famous is undoubtedly the 'Fu-style face reading'.

It's not accurate, but it's extremely valuable for reference.

"Pfft~ Okay, okay, I'll show you then."

Ye Li took out her phone and scrolled through the other person's WeChat Moments.

Bank managers, insurance agents, and real estate agents at car dealerships are almost always seen in professional photos wearing half-suits.

Ye Li showed Su Cheng a photo of the bank manager she was most interested in collaborating with.

He has a buzz cut, a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, dark skin, and an overweight build.

His smile is sleazy; he has no class whatsoever.

"Master Su, how is your assessment?"

"Sister Chestnut, why did you find a piece of pig's head?"

Ye Li: ???
She felt that Su Cheng's words were too harsh; how could she use "pig's head meat" to describe someone right off the bat?

Ye Li glanced at the photo again.

Uh.

She is indeed a bit chubby.

"I'm looking for a loan, not dating or getting married, so don't attack my appearance."

Su Cheng quickly explained, "I'm innocent, Sister Chestnut! I didn't attack you. I said I was looking at your face, so I had to describe it."

"Just state your judgment."

“He has strong influence within the bank, is good at forming cliques and engaging in speculation and profiteering, and has gained certain authority within the bank through years of influencing others.”

"anything else?"

Su Cheng thought for a moment: "It's most likely a ladybug."

"Really? Are you that accurate?"

"Huh? Did I say it right?"

"I don't know. I've never met him. We're still talking. I'll go to the bank to meet him another day and then I'll know if you're right."

Ye Li doesn't have Su Cheng's "six eyes," but her early experiences and her struggles in the consulting industry have honed her ability to judge people.

They might not be as quick to judge as Su Cheng, but they can still glean similar information from a little contact and draw their own conclusions based on their cognitive framework.

"Okay, then be careful. Anyway, I don't like him. I feel like he has bad intentions and might want to use this loan to do something with you."

Su Cheng made it clear from the start.

"Yeah, I know what's going on."

That night, Su Cheng stayed at Ye Li's house for the night.

The next day, I went to Yh Consulting to register.

Yh Consulting is located on the extension of the Bund architectural complex, facing Lujiazui across the river.

Unlike Jingzhou and Ao Island, this commercial building does not win by its towering height, but by its unique materials and shape.

The overall form of the building is not an overt geometric cut, but rather draws inspiration from ancient Chinese jade cong and scroll paintings, presenting a posture of being square on the outside and round on the inside, with a gentle twist and ascent.

It exudes a quiet yet absolute sense of authority amidst the towering skyscrapers.

The building's base is crafted from a single, uncut block of black granite, anchoring firmly to the ground. There are no noisy fountains or giant signs at the entrance.

The floor is paved with dark green marble with natural veins, creating a sense of ritual and exclusivity, like entering a sanctuary.

Upon entering the lobby, one is immediately struck by the enormous dome, fifty meters high and without a single pillar.

The air is filled with a woody fragrance bespoke for the building by a top French perfumer, blending the scents of leather and old books, creating a sophisticated and elegant atmosphere.

If Jingzhou and Aodao are more traditional, then this building in Shanghai is more "avant-garde".

Hmm...it matches Su Cheng's imagination of this city very well.

Yh has a very complete staff, from the chairman to the general manager and deputy general manager, and then to the heads and team leaders of each department.

A fully staffed team is of extremely high quality, which means that Yh is in a perfect balance in terms of business capabilities, operations, personnel quality, teamwork and atmosphere, and profitability.

Very few companies can achieve a full staff at Geely, and Yh happens to be one of them.

Neither Shengyue Consulting nor RK Consulting's Jingzhou headquarters are at full staff.

There are approximately 600 people in Yh.

A fully staffed consulting firm with over 600 employees.

The strength can be imagined.

Yh is divided into an international department and a headquarters. The international department specializes in handling large-scale, complex, and difficult cases, and is the most capable of handling such cases. It is the elite of the elite.

Those who are slightly less capable will be transferred to headquarters, but the headquarters is also extremely strong.

These two categories are somewhat similar to the idea that "if you're not physically fit enough for rugby, you can only play in the NBA."

When Su Cheng was reporting on personnel matters, he was surprised to find that he was not the only one whose position had been changed today. The entire Yh had just undergone a major personnel reshuffle, with nearly a third of the positions changing.

Su Cheng couldn't help but feel puzzled.

One-third of the people have been reassigned.

This technique looks so familiar.

When Su Cheng was in the HR department, she made a special inquiry and it seemed that YH had even changed its chairman.

Did I make dumplings just because he was jealous?
Su Cheng knew that his transfer to Shanghai was not so simple.

International Consulting Department.

"Hey, Yuyuan, I just saw our new supervisor at HR."

"Hmm? They've already reported for duty?"

"Yeah, he's pretty handsome. You're lucky." Xing Yuyuan rolled her eyes: "Heh, what's so lucky about him? Just don't hold him back. Can being handsome put food on the table?"

Xing Yuyuan.

Yh is the Deputy Director of the International Consulting Department, at level K9.

She was a beautiful sight in the office, the kind of woman whose natural talent couldn't be hidden even when dressed in the most conventional business attire.

Tight-fitting knitted cashmere sweaters pose a significant visual challenge to the male colleagues in the company.

At the company, no one could ignore her visually striking figure.

The fabric softly clung to her curves, stretching taut at its fullest points, making the delicate textures clearly visible.

The garment has no superfluous design; the top-quality fabric faithfully outlines its stunning silhouette.

To describe it simply as "plump" would be too crude; it's a kind of powerful, rounded, and upright beauty.

With each breath Xing Yuyuan takes, a soft yet astonishing curve will rise and fall slightly, easily stirring up huge waves in the hearts of those around her.

When Xing Yuyuan is handling consultations, she often distracts clients, causing them to forget what they are about to say.

However, she had long since grown accustomed to this "sweet burden" and transformed it into part of her aura.

"Huh? You don't usually say that, do you?"

"So what do I usually say?"

"I have a recording, do you want to listen to it? I'll play it now."

"Don't!"

Xing Yuyuan quickly stopped her colleagues in the group; she didn't want to hear the nonsense she had been talking about while drunk.

"I'll go to the HR department to pick someone up first, and I'll deal with you when I get back!"

Xing Yuyuan got up and went downstairs to the personnel department.

She walks with her back ramrod straight.

It wasn't just to maintain her posture, but also to steadily support the weight on her chest, which made her walk with a steady pace.

Xing Yuyuan never felt awkward or uncomfortable because of her body. On the contrary, she used this natural advantage to add an undeniable layer of persuasiveness to her confidence and professionalism.

When she found Su Cheng, she confidently extended her hand immediately: "Hello, you must be Manager Su, right? I'm Xing Yuyuan, your future partner."

Su Cheng shook hands politely: "Hello."

Xing Yuyuan's temperament is like a product carefully cultivated by the city of Shanghai.

It has both an international, fashionable taste and the shrewdness and sophistication that are deeply ingrained in the locals.

However, Su Cheng didn't pay any attention to these things.

His eyes lingered on Xing Yuyuan's figure, whether intentionally or unintentionally.

It wasn't that Su Cheng sent a message or had a mental breakdown; it's just that Xing Yuyuan is someone who's hard to ignore.

It feels even more impactful than the exaggerated female characters in anime.

Su Cheng kept silently repeating to herself, "Don't look, don't look, don't look, it's impolite," but it didn't seem to have any effect.

He was a little worried that Xing Yuyuan would have a bad first impression of him because of this, since staring at someone is a very offensive thing.

The next second, Su Cheng was called out: "Have you seen enough?"

A sense of shame welled up in Su Cheng's heart, and she quickly apologized and explained, "Ah? I'm sorry, this..."

But Xing Yuyuan didn't seem angry. There was no anger on her face. She just asked calmly, "No, I wanted to ask if you've seen enough."

Her reaction left Su Cheng completely bewildered.

"Many of my colleagues are like this. I don't feel offended. It's not your fault."

"It's perfectly normal for males to like this, and females also like to look at muscles."

You'll get used to it.

Su Cheng: ???
What habits does she have? Does she have big breasts?
So open-minded and composed?

He felt that Xing Yuyuan's personality was not like that of a socialite in Shanghai, but rather more like that of the older women in Beijing.

Su Cheng had a wicked sense of humor. He compared Xing Yuyuan to Daenerys Targaryen and felt that Daenerys Targaryen was not even on par with her, but rather much inferior.

Xing Yuyuan reached out and picked up the work badge that Su Cheng was wearing.

Ok?
Su Cheng's rank in the group is actually K11?

She was surprised for a moment, just a moment.

K11 could become a vice president in other companies within the group or in some smaller consulting firms.

But this is Yh, and it's the international department.

It wouldn't be surprising if Xing Yuyuan were a supervisor, deputy supervisor, or even just a team leader at K11 here.

"Let me take you to your office first."

"can."

The two of them walked and talked.

Xing Yuyuan learned about Su Cheng's work experience at the group.

"You mean you were at Shengyue before, and then you were transferred to RK?"

"Correct."

Although Shengyue and RK in Jingzhou are not as large as Yh, they are both excellent consulting firms.

"So what company is this 'Australia Island' you just mentioned?"

"Australia is RK."

"Isn't RK in Jingzhou?"

"No, no, no, the Macau branch."

"Oh, I see."

"Yes."

The two discovered that their own magnetic fields could still blend with each other, so there shouldn't be any major problems with their work going forward.

After showing Su Cheng around his office, Xing Yuyuan introduced him to his colleagues.

When Xing Yuyuan introduced her good friend Liu Jiajia, she received a knowing look from a woman, but Xing Yuyuan glared back fiercely.

That afternoon.

While working, Liu Jiajia would sometimes smile at her and sometimes wink at her.

Xing Yuyuan had no choice but to sneak out with Liu Jiajia for some fresh air.

The two ordered lattes and then sat on chairs outside the cafe to chat.

Xing Yuyuan couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what's with that expression?"

Liu Jiajia laughed and asked in return, "Yuanyuan, don't you think he looks like an anime character?"

"Hmm...it does look a bit like it."

Su Cheng does indeed resemble an anime protagonist who has stepped directly into reality.

Sunny, handsome, and non-threatening—he's almost too good to be true.

Liu Jiajia added, "Moreover, his voice is very clear and bright, with a unique magnetism characteristic of young people."

"What happened?"

Xing Yuyuan has seen too many elite men in the business world.

They are either mature and composed, or shrewd and calculating, and their eyes always carry a sense of scrutiny and desire.

Without exception, on the first meeting, one's gaze would unconsciously drift towards her chest.

But Su Cheng was different; he was just making the mistake of a male animal for the first time.

During our subsequent conversations, I kept my eyes fixed on hers.

His eyes were pure and polite, carrying the goodwill of a newcomer and a little bit of nervousness.

"How many days do you plan to take to complete this?"

Xing Yuyuan: ? ? ?

"What do you mean, 'take what down'? Don't talk nonsense!" Xing Yuyuan finally understood Liu Jiajia's look and gave her response.

"Office romances aren't allowed in our company. You're not new to the company."

"Besides... he's not my type."

"You've done this before, haven't you? What about that intern from last time?"

"That doesn't count."

"That client from Guangdong from last time, and..."

Xing Yuyuan looked completely bewildered. She put down her drink and quickly covered Liu Jiajia's mouth, saying, "Shut up!"
