Star Tycoon

Chapter 222 The Radish Pit

It wasn't just the Su Changjian couple who were kept out; there were also many couples who appeared to be upper-middle class or above.

Many of the people here are probably business owners, possessing the proactive ability to greet and get to know others, rather than remaining silent and walking away when others don't hire them.

The Su couple were the same kind of people, and soon a group of them sat down by the roadside to get to know each other.

After getting to know the others, Zhou Kang, a portly man who worked as a manager at a state-owned company in Lin'an, and his wife also began to express their opinions.

"If you ask me, even if he says he doesn't accept donations, you still have to donate. What school doesn't charge money? Famous universities, both domestically and internationally, all require money to get in!"

Zhou Kang's words resonated with some people.

That's only one aspect; another intellectual couple disagreed.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Wenyi, from Beijing, brought their daughter, who is about to start junior high school, to study here.

“No matter how much money we have, can we have as much as Tian Ersan? Tian Ersan is not short of money. He has distributed all his money to tens of thousands of people in Sanhe Town. If the people here were to accept money from others, Tian Ersan would definitely not agree.”

Zhang Wenyi glanced at Zhou Kang and thought this stupid, uncultured boss was idiotic.

Zhou Kang also felt that this bespectacled young man in his thirties was somewhat poor and ignorant of social truths.

Zhou Kang also agreed with what he said, that Tian Ersan was indeed not short of money.

Zhou Kang's wife, a middle-aged woman wearing black stockings and greasy makeup, also agreed with Zhang Wenyi's words.

"Even if all of us are combined, we're not as rich as Tian Ersan. In my opinion, donating money is probably useless."

Having received agreement, Zhang Wenyi continued, "Even if you pay your way in, one or two people will be ostracized by the others. If Tian Ersan finds out, he'll definitely throw them out. A school is a school. In my opinion, money won't work. You have to go to the Education Bureau!"

Zhang Wenyi looked at the others and said, "I'm a teacher in Beijing. Sometimes you don't even know who to spend your money on. You have to go to the leaders. Only the leaders' words carry weight!"

A local boss who had been silent for most of the day suddenly cursed, "You're talking nonsense! I've been working in this city for over thirty years, what don't I know?"

"This is a private school, do you think it's a public school? If the education bureau could control it, I wouldn't have bothered coming here!"

“I already asked the Education Bureau, but the schools here don’t listen to the Education Bureau at all. The old principal is over ninety years old and would rather dissolve the school than accept his guidance.”

“Let me tell you, these four villages are all connected. Even if you are a high-ranking official in Beijing, you can’t send someone to infiltrate them.”

"There's only one road!" the local tycoon from Zhongzhou said earnestly, "Jinchengbang!"

Zhang Wenyi pushed up his glasses. "Chengbang isn't that easy to get into."

Zhang Wenyi clearly agreed with this and didn't argue.

Everyone here is considered middle class or above, and they are well aware of the influence of Chengbang Group in this small county.

Tian Ersan and the Education Bureau are not on the same page. Not to mention the county or the province, even the Ministry of Education can't control an entrepreneur like him.

Chengbang Group, from top to bottom, has never asked anyone for anything.

The head of the education bureau in a small county town is not qualified to talk to Tian Ersan, let alone force someone into the position.

Those who had previously been placed in the company through connections were all screened out by Tian Ersan using various methods.

From an outsider's perspective, it's definitely not a selection process; it's that most women couldn't resist the temptation of an annual salary of over 100 million and went out to start their own businesses.

Those female livestreamers were too provocative, which lessened the impact of Tian Ersan's constant expulsion of people.

Some people had no intention of changing jobs, but Tian Ersan would find fault with them to fire them, such as checking their social media accounts, finding inappropriate remarks, or leaking secrets—common things.

The people who were fired didn't even realize this. When they left, they stubbornly insisted that the place was bad and that they wanted to find a more respectable job in order to save face.

The biggest negative aspect of Chengbang Group is that Tian Ersan is a womanizer who treats the company like his own harem, especially keeping a large group of young and beautiful women in the Chengbang Building to have his children.

Zhang Wenyi's wife sighed, "We also want to work for Chengbang Group, but their requirements are too high. We applied once last year but were not approved."

Xu Shulan from Shanghai sized up Zhang Wenyi's wife.

"I think you're quite pretty, how come you can't get in? Is the photo not good?"

Zhang Wenyi said directly, "Chengbang is not easy to get into. The requirements for hiring people there are very high. There are no more than two hundred people in the entire capital who can pass the technical assessment of AI companies. I don't know the standards for hiring female workers. It's not easy to get in if you are older."

The local tycoon from Zhongzhou revealed a smug smile.

"You don't understand what's going on here!"

Everyone else looked at the fat boss who was sitting down.

The local boss said smugly, "Chengbang Group includes not only Chengbang Trading Building, but also Chengbang Commercial Building, Chengbang Construction, and Chengbang Hospital. Now, the AI ​​company and the garment factory are not part of Chengbang, and the cannery was never part of it to begin with."

"When Wangzhuang hires teachers, they'll definitely be considered Chengbang employees. As long as you go in as a teacher, a doctor, or even a worker or salesperson if all else fails, you'll be an employee of the Chengbang Group!"

“There are plenty of elderly women in their forties and fifties working at Chengbang Shopping Mall in our county; they’re all considered Chengbang people!”

"I heard they plan to recruit four or five thousand people this year: doctors, teachers, sales clerks, and pretty women for the trade building."

The local boss chuckled. It was clearly Tian Ersan who wanted to hire women, but he ended up being happy for him as he talked.

Xu Shulan quickly asked, "Is it true?"

The boss laughed heartily, "It must be true. Chengbang hires people every year. Last year, a lot of people left their group because of buying houses."

Upon hearing this, everyone remembered the incident.

Zhou Kang's wife asked, "We have houses in Lin'an, Shanghai, and Beijing. If my daughter wants to go to Chengbang, will she be able to get in?"

People nearby explained, "It's fine, just don't buy in Tao County. I know a few people from out of town who work at Chengbang. They all came from Beijing and Shanghai and have houses in other places, so it won't affect them if they buy property in Chengbang."

Xu Shulan frowned.

Out-of-towner? Shanghai or Beijing?
Theoretically, he is indeed from out of town, and in reality, but he doesn't give off a very good impression.

Despite feeling unwell, Xu Shulan and her husband still planned to go to Chengbang Group alone.

Chengbang Group offers low wages, good benefits, and stable welfare.

In particular, it includes meals and accommodation, the work is not tiring, and it can solve housing, retirement, and children's education problems. There are also lively shopping malls and entertainment venues nearby, so it is not a small place.

Another thing is that Wangzhuang High School is amazing; it's better than all the famous schools in China and abroad.

While they may use connections, most parents genuinely want their children to succeed.

Wangzhuang High School's ability to send 100 students into the top 100 in the province is a testament to the school's and teachers' capabilities.

Unfortunately, this high school doesn't supply talent to any of the universities; instead, its graduates are directly packaged and sent to Chengbang for employment. At this time, graduating students from universities across the country are also focusing their attention on the Chengbang Group.

The college entrance examination papers have been obtained by various universities through various means, and these people can easily obtain some things that are not publicly available.

Top universities held a meeting to discuss this matter.

Several key leaders were discussing matters, while a dozen or so administrative staff listened, took notes, and secretly recorded the conversation.

"The possibility of cheating is extremely low, and even if someone did cheat, it shouldn't be everyone who did."

“The students at Wangzhuang High School are not all children of farmers from the nearby area. There are also many people from the county town, Shanghai, and Beijing. We asked several junior and senior high schools for their grades and found that the grades of more than ten high school students in the past were very average. They were considered to be below average in ordinary schools that were ranked outside the top 100 and were not valued by teachers and schools.”

"Wangzhuang's academic results are not published by the Education Bureau. It is a private school and quite closed off. I think Wangzhuang High School must have made great achievements in education and has elite enlightenment methods that are only used for a small number of people."

A school leader asked, "Then we can organize exchange and learning activities and arrange for teachers to go there to learn."

The director in charge of the investigation shook his head. "No, they don't want to improve at all. The county education bureau wanted to go and investigate, but they refused. They don't accept students from other places or those with connections. Apart from employees of Chengbang Group, they only accept people from the four nearby villages."

A female teacher asked, "Chengbang gave them money, so can we give them money too?"

The owner explained, "It's not about money. Almost everyone in Wangzhuang works for Chengbang Group. Before Tian Ersan became famous, the people of Wangzhuang worked with him and were shareholders in the company."

"Although Wangzhuang belongs to Sanhe Town, the person in charge is actually a 90-year-old Party member. Wang Youli and his family all work for Tian Ersan."

"Wang Youli was born in 1926. He joined the army at the age of fifteen. He had a primary school education. After retiring from the communications corps, he worked as a village head, teacher, and principal. He was a retired village secretary."

"After his death, Wangzhuang Primary School only started to become more organized under Tian Ersan's management and was no longer as low-key as before."

The nearby administrative staff did some calculations and quickly realized that this old man was no ordinary person!
After a discussion, the group of leaders realized that some tasks could not be carried out.

Tao County owes Tian Er and 30 years of care, owes Yi Xiannong more than 50 years of his youth, owes Duan Tiande more than 60 years of his life, and owes Wang Youli 70 or 80 years of hard work and dedication.

There are also orphans and widows like Chai Meirong, She Jinhua, and Mu Xiuying.

There are simply too many to count!

Tao County went too far, making it impossible for others to play the patriotic card anymore.

Tian Ersan didn't harbor resentment or spread negativity, nor did he defect abroad like Duan Tiande, nor did he curse at his superiors like Wang Youli. Just having fun with women and having children in a small county town is already quite positive.

Even so, many people still called Tian Ersan a traitor.

Some things are best left unseen in comparison. Compared to others, Yi Xiannong, who had no children and devoted himself to the cause until his death, seems like a true saint!

It's a pity there was only one Yi Xianong, and he was exhausted.

The rest of the people refused to become Yi Xiannong.

Yi Xiannong was no good role model either; Duan Tiande ran away as soon as he died, probably because he was deeply disappointed.

Yi Xiannong was both a role model and not a good one. After being cremated, his ashes were scattered across the grasslands, a practice that left everyone feeling awkward.

Promoting it is wrong, but not promoting it is also wrong.

The village collectively xenophobic.

After discussing it for a long time, everyone realized that the only feasible solution was to get a spot from Chengbang.

The administrative director said, "Our school can use its special admission quota to exchange some positions with Chengbang Group."

Everyone else glanced at the woman.

The principal said calmly, "It's worth a try. Not everyone from Chengbang can work at Chengbang. Some people will always have to worry about going to university."

Several people who had worked on the job thought it was unreliable.

Over the years, Tian Ersan has been smug about the fact that he never went to school, unlike some people who never went to university who care about their academic qualifications.

Other entrepreneurs would collaborate with top universities to enhance their resumes by obtaining professorships or honorary titles.

Tian Ersan is the other extreme; he likes to write "no" on his academic credentials.

Adding a university honor would be a negative impact on him, like dropping a booger on a blank sheet of paper—it's disgusting.

He initially had the idea of ​​going to university, but after he succeeded, he tried his best to avoid getting involved with universities and showed no respect to any of them.

It wasn't prepared for them.
