Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 293 Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang Looking for a Job
After dinner, Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan went to the department store in the city center to shop, while Yuan Xudong accompanied Jiang Xiaoguo to an interview at Youjia Financial Management. She passed the interview in less than thirty minutes. Jiang Xiaoguo was very proud of herself, but not only did she not sign the contract immediately, she also wanted to wait and see if she could find a job with better salary and future development prospects.
She submitted another resume online, and her target company was Pulin Capital, a newly established investment company whose main investment targets were emerging Internet companies, which were high-risk and high-return companies. They were especially suitable for young people who wanted to make a lot of money quickly and who were capable, ambitious and visionary. Obviously, Jiang Xiaoguo felt that she was a contemporary young woman who was both capable and ambitious, the future female version of Buffett in China, and the great angel investment goddess.
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo's smug look, Yuan Xudong did not pour cold water on her. In his opinion, Jiang Xiaoguo was indeed very capable and motivated, and a little shameless. Whether it was the financial planner of Youjia Financial Management or the investor of Pulin Capital, both were quite suitable for her. The former was to take money out of other people's pockets for financial management, and the latter was to give the company's money to others to invest in the future. Comparatively speaking, the former had low risk and low return, while the latter had high risk but high return. If one had enough vision and luck, an annual income of one million, ten million, or even hundreds of millions was possible. Of course, this possibility was very small. Well, the probability was probably about the same as winning the first prize in the lottery.
After returning to school, Yuan Xudong and Jiang Xiaoguo separated downstairs of the girls' dormitory. He went back to the dormitory to deal with his own game business. The game materials he had hoarded before had begun to rise in price sharply. In addition, with the arrival of the new version, the game coins began to appreciate. He planned to gradually exchange the game materials for easily circulated game coins, and then sell the game coins to other businessmen. After making the first pot of gold in his life, he would consider joining an angel investment company or a stock trading company like Jiang Xiaoguo. Compared with a job with a fixed monthly salary, he prefers a high-risk and high-return job. The former can only be called a job, while the latter can be called a career. In addition, he can also write novels, which can also be called a career, because the income is not fixed. It may be only more than a thousand yuan a month with full attendance, or it may be tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. It depends on how well the individual writes and whether the readers are so lovely.
An afternoon passed in a flash, and when night began to fall, the whole city lit up, with thousands of lights shining brightly. Compared with the daytime, the metropolis at night is more charming, exuding unparalleled charm, with bright lights, wine and women, an endless stream of people, and hustle and bustle of traffic. Its prosperity dazzles every young person in it, and they try their best to put down roots, live in high-end apartments, eat air-shipped steaks, drink French wine, work in high-end office buildings, and fly on business trips all over the world. Of course, these are the futures that the general public wants, not the present.
In the girls' dormitory of South China University of Finance and Economics, Jiang Xiaoguo was sitting at her desk, preparing for an interview with Puling Capital. Duan Jiabao and Luo Yan came back from shopping, carrying large and small shopping bags, and pushed the door open. After packing up the clothes and cosmetics they bought, Duan Jiabao looked at Jiang Xiaoguo, who was browsing Puling Capital's related information on the web, and asked:
"Xiao Guo, have you seen Liang Shuang?"
"No!"
Shaking his head, Jiang Xiaoguo turned to look at Duan Jiabao and said:
"I stayed in the dorm after the interview and didn't go anywhere. I didn't see her come back . Did she go to play golf?"
"Maybe. I don't know how she is now. Do you think golf won't bully her?"
Duan Jiabao said with some concern.
"How is that possible?"
Hearing Duan Jiabao say that golf might bully Liang Shuang, Jiang Xiaoguo and Luo Yan said in unison:
"It's good enough that she doesn't bully others. Who can bully her?"
“That’s true!”
Duan Jiabao smiled and nodded, thinking that Liang Shuang was so powerful, and was indeed not a girl who was easy to bully. The three of them put together were no match for Liang Shuang, and they were completely dominated by her. Every night at 10:30, she would turn off the lights, and there had never been an exception.
At the same time, near the north gate of South China University of Finance and Economics, Liang Shuang sat in Chen Zhuo's car and looked at him expressionlessly. Seeing Liang Shuang staring at him, Chen Zhuo smiled as usual while driving. Looking at Chen Zhuo's smile, Liang Shuang felt disgusted no matter how she looked at it. She frowned and said:
"Why are you laughing? Do you feel happy?"
"What's wrong with me?"
Glancing at Liang Shuang, Chen Zhuo smiled and said:
"My wife is so beautiful and loves me so much, right?"
As Chen Zhuo spoke, he took Liang Shuang's right hand and wanted to kiss her. Liang Shuang shook him off and said in a cold voice:
"You still have the nerve to kiss me?"
"No, what happened to you today?"
Looking at Liang Shuang's wrong attitude, Chen Zhuo frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?"
As Liang Shuang spoke, she took out her cell phone, opened WeChat, and showed Chen Zhuo the video that Yuan Xudong sent her. Just as Chen Zhuo was stunned for a moment, a cell phone rang. It was Chen Zhuo's phone. Before he could react, Liang Shuang took his phone and answered it and pressed the speakerphone button.
"Hey, husband, where are you? Why haven't you replied to my WeChat for so long?"
"I'm driving now. I'll tell you when I get back!"
"Okay, come back soon!"
"Well, bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After hanging up the phone, without waiting for Liang Shuang to speak, Chen Zhuo hurriedly said:
"Xiao Shuang, listen to me, this is not what you think..."
"Explain what?"
Seeing that Chen Zhuo was still trying to find excuses, Liang Shuang directly asked:
"Are you and her fake?"
"She and I..."
Chen Zhuo paused for a moment and said:
"Xiao Shuang, you don't need to care about my relationship with her. You just need to know that I am sincere to you. I..."
Bang~~
Before Chen Zhuo could finish, Liang Shuang slapped him in the face. Chen Zhuo was stunned for the first time being slapped by a woman. The car stopped suddenly. Liang Shuang unbuckled his seat belt, opened the door and got out of the driveway:
"Chen Zhuo, remember this, I was the one who dumped you!"
"Liang Shuang, Liang Shuang!"
Seeing Liang Shuang getting off the car and walking towards the school, Chen Zhuo quickly got off the car and chased after her, trying to stop her and said:
"Liang Shuang, listen to me. This is what my dad arranged for me. It's what our family arranged. I have no other choice. Please give me some time, okay? I will handle it. I really will handle it. Don't be angry. Don't..."
"Get out of my way!"
As Chen Zhuo spoke, he stood in front of Liang Shuang to stop her from leaving. Liang Shuang refused to listen and pushed him, trying to walk around him. Seeing her like this, Chen Zhuo got angry and said:
"Liang Shuang, that's enough. I'm telling you, don't get too excited!"
Chen Zhuo pointed at Liang Shuang and said angrily:
"I tolerate all your little tempers. Think about how you got to this day. If you didn't have me, who would you be?"
Seeing Liang Shuang quiet down, Chen Zhuo walked up to her and said in a gentle voice:
"Let me tell you straight, if you leave today, you will definitely regret it!"
"If I really leave like this, I might really regret it!"
"What are you going to do?"
After taking a look at Chen Zhuo, Liang Shuang took off the diamond ring on his right ring finger, then walked to Chen Zhuo's car with the diamond ring and scratched a few marks on his car with the ring face :
"I don't regret it now!"
"you……"
Walking up to Chen Zhuo and throwing the diamond ring at him, Liang Shuang deliberately provoked him:
"Chen Zhuo, I'll tell you the truth. I'm not angry at all that you cheated on me, because I also cheated on you, at the InterContinental Hotel, and I paid for the room. Are you angry?"
Knowing that Liang Shuang has an arrogant personality and is not someone who will easily lie, if she says she cheated, then it must have been cheated. Chen Zhuo's face darkened and he said:
"Liang Shuang, tell me clearly, when did you cheat on me?"
“Forgot!”
Liang Shuang walked towards the school, waved his hand without looking back and said with a smile:
"I'll go find him now, bye!"
Watching Liang Shuang's back getting farther and farther away, Chen Zhuo couldn't help but shout:
"Liang Shuang, I know what kind of person you are and what you want. I guarantee that you will regret it!"
"Bye, see you later!"
…
At 10 o'clock in the evening, Liang Shuang returned to the dormitory. Jiang Xiaoguo and the other two, who were still chattering about Liang Shuang, suddenly became quiet. Seeing Liang Shuang's expressionless face, Jiang Xiaoguo and the other two looked at each other. The atmosphere was a bit dull. Duan Jiabao looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and said:
"Xiao Guo, didn't you go for an interview this afternoon? How was it?"
"Don't mention it, I didn't say much..."
"ah?"
"Within two sentences, they started discussing salary with me. The starting salary was 10,000 yuan a month, and they wanted me to sign a contract right away. It took me a lot of effort to escape!"
"That's not right. Didn't you say that company was good before? Why don't you go?"
“It’s pretty good!”
Jiang Xiaoguo glanced at Duan Jiabao and said with a smile:
"But I want something better. Puling Capital, which is highly sought after by everyone in the finance department, has also sent me an interview notice. I will go for the interview first. If the interview is successful, I will join Puling Capital. If not, it won't be too late for me to join Youjia Financial Management!"
"ah?"
Hearing that Jiang Xiaoguo wanted to please both sides, Duan Jiabao couldn't help but say:
"If you're playing both sides like this, what if one boat capsizes?"
"What do you mean by two-timing?"
Jiang Xiaoguo rolled his eyes at Duan Jiabao and said confidently:
"Don't worry, it'll only take two days, there won't be any problems!"
Next to her, listening to Jiang Xiaoguo and Duan Jiabao saying "I want something better!" on one hand, and "You're playing both sides, what if one boat capsizes?" on the other, Liang Shuang felt that they were deliberately saying this to her to piss her off. Thinking this in her heart, she checked the time and said coldly:
"It's almost half past ten, turn off the lights!"
"ah?"
"I'm still forming a team to play King of Glory!"
"It's already half past ten. How come time goes by so fast?"
"I……"
Hearing that Liang Shuang was going to turn off the lights and go to bed again, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at the watch on her right wrist. It was 10:15 pm, and there were still 15 minutes until 10:30. Jiang Xiaoguo wanted to argue with her, but when she thought of Liang Shuang who had just been hit by her boyfriend's cheating, she finally compromised dejectedly:
"I...I'll turn it off, I'll turn it off!"
Bang~~
As Jiang Xiaoguo pressed the switch reluctantly, the room suddenly became dark. With the moonlight outside the window, Jiang Xiaoguo and the other three went to bed. The room suddenly became quiet, but no one could fall asleep.
Luo Yan hid in the bed and played Honor of Kings with her teammates. Duan Jiabao was thinking about attending Zilu's concert. Jiang Xiaoguo was thinking about the interview with Pulin Capital. She wanted to become a gold medal investor in the future, and then invest in several unicorns like "Penguin", "Alibaba" and "Pindaodao", and reach the peak of her life from then on.
Liang Shuang was hiding in the bed and crying silently. Obviously, she didn't care about nothing as she said. She still had feelings for Chen Zhuo, otherwise she wouldn't want to marry him right after graduation. Unfortunately, Chen Zhuo didn't cherish the relationship between them and just treated her as his accessory, a dispensable vase.
After a night, Liang Shuang and Jiang Xiaoguo got up early, and the two went out without saying a word. Liang Shuang dressed herself up a little, put on light makeup, applied grapefruit red lipstick, wore a white vest on her upper body, covered with a layer of white transparent gauze on the outside, and a pair of sky blue shorts on her lower body. Her white arms and thighs were exposed, and the whole person was full of youthful and lively atmosphere. Jiang Xiaoguo was much simpler, wearing a white shirt, white trousers, and a pair of white leather shoes on her feet. Although she didn't show much skin, she still looked very cute, quite like a girl next door.
If Yuan Xudong was present, seeing the completely different dressing styles of Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang, he would not be able to help but look at Liang Shuang twice, and then give her a low score and give Jiang Xiaoguo a high score. Although girls with sexy clothes can easily arouse his "interest", he prefers and respects girls who dress decently. Our ancestors spent millions of years putting on clothes, but some people want to take them off again, and say it's "personality" and "freedom". You can't have both. Since you want "personality" and "freedom", don't blame others for not giving you "respect", just like the so-called dresses worn by some female stars, it seems like they are wearing them, but it also seems like they are not wearing them. They obviously want men to look at them, but they blame others for their lustful eyes.
There are also some extremely high-ranking "female boxers". In their opinion, they can do whatever they want, which is called "freedom" and "personality". In contrast, men cannot do that. Men must obey "female boxing", otherwise they are disrespecting women, objectifying women, and putting themselves in a disadvantaged group. They shout slogans for "equality", but their actions are "privileges". It is really unreasonable, just like a recent article on Weibo said, published by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, titled "Extreme female boxing has become a cancer on the Internet!"
The general meaning is that recently, a group of pictures with the theme of "Every generation of young people is worthy of the times", reflecting major historical events such as the Long March, the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea, and the digging of the Red Flag Canal, were unexpectedly attacked by some people for "deliberately ignoring women". There are obviously women in the photos, but probably because there are not as many women as men. Some people deliberately took advantage of the issue and intentionally ignored the women in the photos to create opposition and attract attention. This kind of "extreme female boxing" can fool many netizens every time it breaks out. Everything can be attributed to "female boxing", taking the opportunity to attract traffic, exposure, popular articles, etc. The fundamental purpose is to cash in and make money.
This is the text of a Weibo post by the "Communist Youth League Central Committee", full of positive energy, but in the end it was defeated by a large number of "female boxers". The dignified "Communist Youth League Central Committee" was actually beaten by the boxers. The "Sword Saint Storm" was ultimately defeated by the "extreme female boxers" and was forced to close the comments. The page only shows "The blogger has turned on comment selection!", and the original comments are no longer visible, for example:
"Eliminating the contributions of women, pointing it out is extreme. So it turns out that extreme is so easy to define?"
"What do you mean by extreme? Can you explain?"
"Did the female fighters kill people or set fire to something?"
"I was just asking what was wrong, but you said I was extreme. You are so petty!"
…
What you said makes a lot of sense and is so powerful that I can’t refute it. I can’t refute it. I’ll just have to admit defeat and close the comments first.
Cough cough～～
Now, getting back to the topic, it seems like we have gone off topic a bit, let's continue talking about Jiang Xiaoguo and Liang Shuang. After coming out of the dormitory, the two separated downstairs of the dormitory building. Liang Shuang went to find a job, and Jiang Xiaoguo went to Pulin Capital to prepare for an interview.
When Jiang Xiaoguo arrived downstairs of Pulin Capital, a working woman in a white shirt and a black skirt was walking in front of her. She was holding a paper bag and talking on the phone while walking. Suddenly, the paper bag in her hand broke and some documents inside fell to the ground. She bent down to pick up the documents. Jiang Xiaoguo was about to go forward to help when she heard the shutter sound of a mobile phone camera. She looked over and saw a greasy uncle holding a mobile phone and taking indecent photos of the working woman who was bending over and sticking out her hips. Jiang Xiaoguo ran over and took two photos of him with her mobile phone. She said:
"Uncle, can you take a clear picture while squatting?"
As Jiang Xiaoguo spoke, he took out his phone and took a few photos around him.
"You have to shoot it like this, shoot it like this, it's very good, look!"
Jiang Xiaoguo showed the photos he had taken to the greasy uncle who secretly took the indecent photos, then pointed to the police station not far away and said:
"If you send these photos out, they might end up in the police station!"
After taking a look at the bewildered Jiang Xiaoguo, Zhou Xun ignored her and did not explain. Being regarded as a pervert, he chose to leave. After he left, Jiang Xiaoguo cursed inwardly, "Pervert!", and then went to help the working woman pick up the documents and said:
"Get up, you're all gone!"
"Thank you!"
Jiang Xiaoguo handed the picked up file to a working woman who was taller than Liang Shuang and said:
"Are you here for an interview too?"
"Yes, Puling Capital!"
"Me too, let's go!"
"My name is Wendy!"
"My name is Jiang Xiaoguo!"
…
After entering the company, Jiang Xiaoguo was waiting for an interview in the lounge area. There were more than a dozen people waiting for interviews behind her. Unable to contain herself, Jiang Xiaoguo tried to talk to the people around her:
"This one's interview took quite a while. How many questions does it take to take so long?"
No one paid any attention to her. Jiang Xiaoguo stood up awkwardly and paced back and forth in the rest area, observing the office environment of Pulin Capital and listening to what the regular employees were talking about.
"We are so sincere, but they are still not very positive!"
"Right now, only Youjia Finance's app has developed this function. I'm sure many companies are looking for them!"
"What shall we do?"
"Just look at how much valuation and financing other companies give them!"
…
"Next one, Jiang Xiaoguo!"
Hearing the interviewer calling her name, Jiang Xiaoguo hurriedly walked into the meeting room for the interview. There were three interviewers in total, two men and one woman. The interviewer sitting in the middle was Zhou Xun, the pervert who was caught by Jiang Xiaoguo downstairs taking indecent photos. Jiang Xiaoguo's face immediately drooped. She felt that her interview was over and she would definitely be eliminated by the pervert.
“Please introduce yourself!”
After Jiang Xiaoguo sat down, the female interviewer sitting on her right spoke first.
"My name is Jiang Xiaoguo. I graduated from South China University of Finance and Economics. I received a full scholarship in the college entrance examination. I was ranked first in my grade for three consecutive years and received a national scholarship for three consecutive years. In the past six months, I have interned at a well-known public account, Financial Live, where I have accumulated rich experience and written many articles with more than 100,000 views!"
After Jiang Xiaoguo finished introducing herself, the interviewer sitting on her left looked at Zhou Xun in the middle and asked:
"Mr. Zhou, do you have any professional questions?"
"No, next one!"
Hearing Zhou Xun say this, the assistant interviewer looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and said with a smile:
"Okay, thank you!"
After the self-introduction, the interview ended. Jiang Xiaoguo stood up awkwardly. After hesitating for a while, she looked at the main interviewer Zhou Xun who was sitting in the middle and asked:
"I want to know why you don't ask me questions?"
After looking at Jiang Xiaoguo, Zhou Xun said directly:
"Because I don't have anything to ask, you're eliminated!"
Hearing Zhou Xun say this, Jiang Xiaoguo said with some disappointment:
"Is it because of what happened just now? Is that why you are targeting me?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo say this, Zhou Xun motioned for her to sit down again, and then spoke directly:
" What domestic corporate news have you followed in the past 24 hours?"
After a slight pause, seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo did not answer immediately, Zhou Xun continued:
"Let me ask you another question. If Puling Capital wants to switch to Southeast Asian projects, which industries do you think it should focus on?"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo still couldn't answer, Zhou Xun smiled and said:
"You said I was targeting you. That's right. I was targeting your ability. The scholarship and the hundred thousand plus are meaningless to me. From your self-introduction just now, I can't get any useful information related to the industry, so you can leave now!"
"Okay, okay, thank you for your help!"
After being criticized by Zhou Xun for no good reason, Jiang Xiaoguo stood up and walked out in a daze. What she was most proud of was her hard work in study. She had been the top student in the grade for three consecutive years, had won national scholarships for three consecutive years, had interned in the financial field, and had written many articles with a value of over 100,000 words. But no one else needed or cared about these.
After Jiang Xiaoguo left the office, the female interviewer looked at Zhou Xun and said with a smile:
"Boss Zhou, this girl is very talented and motivated. Besides, we are just recruiting interns. Aren't you too harsh?"
"Severe?"
After glancing at the female interviewer, Zhou Xun looked at Jiang Xiaoguo's resume and said:
"For the same price, if there are better options, why don't we choose the best one? Huanan University of Finance and Economics is just an ordinary first-class university. Aren't there many graduates from prestigious universities such as Peking University and Tsinghua University?"
"Oh, so that's how it is!"
After listening to Zhou Xun, the male interviewer next to him smiled and said:
"I thought so. It turns out that her biggest shortcoming is not that she doesn't understand this industry, but that she didn't graduate from a prestigious university. Mr. Zhou, you are really amazing. Not only did you reject others, but you also let them find the reason in themselves. Amazing!"
