Star Tycoon

Chapter 223 Bold and Ruthless
Capital
Li Xiujing quickly sent over her splendid resume, which was filled with various honors.

Li Xiujing, a socialite in Beijing, has lived a life of luxury since childhood. She frequently appeared on television reports from elementary school onwards, and studied abroad during middle and high school. Every gesture she makes exudes the elegance and pride of a noblewoman from a prominent family.

There are great scholars among whom to talk and laugh, and no unlearned people among whom to associate.

Her parents, the Li couple, also had extensive connections and influence in Beijing's social circles.

At this moment, Mr. and Mrs. Li were also smiling, sitting on the sofa chatting with their daughter.

It was as if victory was already in their grasp.

Li Xiujing's grandfather was a military officer, and her maternal grandfather was a retired professor from a major hospital.

My father was a cadre in the Transportation Bureau, and my mother was a section chief in the Beijing Education Bureau.

Despite not holding a high official position, the Li family had extensive connections.

In their eyes, what their daughter wanted was nothing more than writing a letter of introduction or making a phone call.

This time, Li Xiujing set her sights on Chengbang Group in Zhongzhou Province.

Chengbang Group is a top-tier conglomerate spanning agriculture, e-commerce, real estate, and technology.

While the family of three was chatting, the nanny and other people were also in the house.

The woman responsible for surrogate mother Li's son looked at the job posting on her phone.

"Madam, the salaries at Chengbang Group are not high; they seem very low."

The woman spoke to the family in Mandarin, which she had only recently learned.

She was a foreigner with black hair and black eyes, and didn't know much about information in China.

Chengbang Group's external recruitment introduction is very brief, resembling that of an ordinary electronics factory.

In fact, people with some background know about this group.

Li Xiujing smiled and said, "It's not about the salary. Chengbang Group may seem to pay a low salary, but that's just on the surface. There are many hidden benefits."

The two men next to him were also smiling.

Chengbang Group is definitely the best choice right now.

Li's mother casually said, "This group is very good. It offers high salaries and generous benefits, the work is easy, all the necessary benefits are provided, and it has an international office environment. It's very suitable for Xiujing to work there."

"It's an honor for a mere local company to have my daughter's resume included," Mr. Li said with a faint smile, before sending messages to several old friends to ensure that the recruitment manager of Chengbang Group would "take a good look" at Li Xiujing's resume.

Li Xiujing's resume is practically perfect: she has connections with top domestic universities, internship experience at international investment banks, countless charitable activities, and even the title of "Asia's Emerging Socialite" awarded by an international magazine.

She confidently submitted her resume and even had her housekeeper book a first-class flight to Zhongzhou in advance, preparing for a dignified onboarding ceremony.

This family was used to wielding great power in the capital, but they forgot that in some places, one cannot simply rely on reputation and connections to act with impunity.

"It's not a local company, it's a very powerful conglomerate!" Li Xiujing smiled and spoke highly of Chengbang Group, the company she was going to work for.

The two people opposite him smiled, tacitly agreeing to the matter.

Lee Soo-kyung said with a smile, "What I value most is the social network of the Chengbang Group!"

"Mr. Tian knows high-ranking officials in the United States, including those in the entertainment, sports, finance, technology, and energy sectors, especially Mr. and Mrs. Smith!"

"That couple will definitely run for governor and president in the future!"

"With a little effort, you can get a ticket to the top social circle by joining Chengbang Group!!"

Li Xiujing praised Chengbang Group, her lips curving into a slight smile, as if she could already see herself standing at the top-floor cocktail party of Chengbang Building, becoming the center of attention.

Some things can be achieved with a little effort.

Theoretically, as long as you enter Chengbang Group for an internship and meet Tian Ersan, and then Tian Ersan sees a beautiful woman and then chases after her like a male dog wagging its tail.

If Tian Ersan is already like this, then Li Xiujing can indeed enter Tian Ersan's social circle if she works hard. ***

In Shanghai, Hua Linyan has already paid off her debts.

In this era of economic boom, making money is still quite easy.

A woman nearing thirty is beginning to show signs of aging, especially after indulging in alcohol and sex, having irregular sleep patterns for several years, and developing problems with gambling, prostitution, and drugs.

After selling the house to pay off her debts, Hua Linyan had no other means of making a living except by spending time with her older brother and boss.

Live streaming accounts and accounts on various media platforms have been banned.

He wanted to develop his career overseas, but he didn't understand foreign languages ​​and had no popularity abroad, with very few viewers.

Aside from live-streaming e-commerce and prostitution, Hua Linyan couldn't find any other high-paying jobs.

Even if a 30-year-old woman works in a nightclub, she can only earn a maximum of a few hundred thousand a month. Compared to the millions she used to earn every month, it's practically backbreaking work.

Hua Linyan is currently being kept by a wealthy businessman for five million yuan a year!

"Damn it, if I hadn't been blacklisted, I wouldn't be making this little bit of money!"

While chatting and exchanging sweet nothings with her boss, Hua Linyan cursed the disgusting man.

Before the ban, it would have cost at least ten million yuan to keep Hua Linyan as a mistress, and you would have to give her gifts on all kinds of holidays!
While I was chatting with my boss who suffers from erectile dysfunction, someone suddenly sent me a message.

Mr. Chen, General Manager of Shanghai Jewelry: Lin Yan, do you know anyone at Chengbang Group?

Hua Linyan was immediately delighted. This President Chen was a wealthy boss, but he wasn't extravagant and didn't like to play around with women like most big bosses.

"Yes, I know her. What kind of person is Mr. Chen looking for? Am I not good enough for him?"

Her voice cracked, using a soft tone to seduce the married man.

Mr. Chen, General Manager of Shanghai Jewelry: I'm looking for someone who works at Chengbang. A relative of mine has a child who wants to attend primary school in Wangzhuang. I'd like to see if they can help him get in. Money is not an issue; I'm willing to spend the money.

Mr. Chen did not send a voice message, nor did he respond to the woman's hints, nor did he tell the truth.

It's not a relative's child; it's his own child.

Hua Linyan, whose living standards have recently declined and who can't afford to travel, saw this message and found a way to put her cleverness to good use.

“Yes! I have two friends who have been working at Chengbang. I’m familiar with the schools in Wangzhuang. Mr. Tian used to want to recommend my daughter to go to primary school in Wangzhuang, but I didn’t agree because I thought the county was better. Mr. Tian also said that I could go there anytime.”

Mr. Chen, General Manager of Shanghai Jewelry: Okay! Please make the arrangements. You'll definitely get your share of the benefits.

Mr. Chen immediately believed him and transferred one million yuan directly.

***

It wasn't just General Manager Li and General Manager Chen who were using connections; basically, everyone with power and influence was doing it.

Unfortunately, Tian Ersan can do the same things as others.

It's all about connections!

The "insiders" who were brought in have already filled every single vacancy.

The so-called "open recruitment" is nothing more than a formality, giving the outside world a false impression of "fair competition".

Regardless of what others do, the audacious, ruthless, and shameless Tian Ersan left no place for outsiders; everyone was one of his own!

If a lifeboat can only hold five people, Tian Ersan is the kind of trash who only lets his own people get on board and doesn't care about the elderly, women, or children.

If I can only save four people, then I'll save four. The lives of the rest are none of my concern.

It's not illegal for your own company to hire its own people.
