Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 294 Shameless Jiang Xiaoguo and Respectful Liang Shuang
Jiang Xiaoguo walked out of Pulin Capital in a listless manner and walked into a coffee shop downstairs of a company. Seeing her walk into the store, the waiter of the coffee shop greeted her warmly:
"Hello, what would you like to drink?"
After taking a look at the cafe's sign, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at the waiter standing behind the counter and said weakly:
"I want a latte that is incompetent and can only talk nonsense!"
"eighteen!"
"eighteen?"
Hearing the waiter say that a cup of latte costs 18 yuan, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but be more alert and said:
"Do you have a small cup?"
"Eighteen is a small cup!"
Hearing the waiter say that eighteen is a small cup of latte, Jiang Xiaoguo glanced at him and was about to turn around and leave. At this moment, Wendy's voice sounded behind her and said with a smile:
"I'll treat you!"
"Wendy?"
Jiang Xiaoguo turned around and looked at Wendy in surprise. Wendy glanced at her, nodded slightly, then looked at the waiter in the cafe and smiled:
"I want a cup of latte that is incompetent and can only talk nonsense, and a cup of green tea that can't find a job!"
"Okay, wait a moment!"
Seeing that Wendy had already ordered latte and green tea, Jiang Xiaoguo leaned on the counter with her and waited:
"You failed the interview too?"
"No, I was accepted!"
"Really?"
Seeing Wendy ordering a cup of green tea for "Can't Find a Job", Jiang Xiaoguo thought she had failed the interview like herself, but she didn't expect that Wendy had been accepted by Pulin Capital. She looked at Wendy and smiled:
"Congratulations, Wendy!"
"Thanks!"
“Do you watch domestic news every day?”
"Is a beautiful girl with a sharp tongue considered news?"
Hearing Wendy say this, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but look up at her and continued to ask:
“So you are familiar with the operations in Southeast Asia?”
"Sea fishing and snorkeling are something I'm quite familiar with!"
“Have you ever summarized the operating strategies of Internet companies?”
"I only know how to buy things based on TikTok. Does that count?"
"What?"
“Buy, buy, buy. Do you know how to sell goods through live streaming?”
"I……"
Looking at Wendy, who was completely different from the elite she had imagined, Jiang Xiaoguo took a deep breath and then slowly said:
"I... know now!"
"You two, you want the incompetent latte who only knows how to talk nonsense, and the green tea who can't find a job!"
"Thanks!"
"Thanks!"
"You're welcome, welcome to visit next time!"
After receiving the latte and green tea from the waiter, Jiang Xiaoguo and Wendy walked out of the cafe together. While drinking latte and green tea, they chatted about the interview questions of Pulin Capital, with Jiang Xiaoguo mainly asking the questions and Wendy answering them.
After finishing their latte and green tea, Jiang Xiaoguo and Wendy separated. She went back to the downstairs of Pulin Capital to wait for Zhou Xun. She waited until he got off work. Jiang Xiaoguo finally met him downstairs of the company. Before Zhou Xun could react, Jiang Xiaoguo asked hurriedly:
"Mr. Zhou, I just want to ask you a question!"
"What?"
"You didn't admit me before because you said my major was not good enough, and I believed you. Then why did you admit a girl who you secretly photographed?"
"I didn't take a secret photo of her. I was just taking a photo of the scratches on my car door. You just misunderstood!"
Zhou Xun walked towards his car while answering Jiang Xiaoguo:
"As for why I hired her, it's because her strengths just met my requirements!"
"What are her advantages?"
Although Zhou Xun said this, Jiang Xiaoguo still said unwillingly:
"Is it because she is beautiful?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo say this, Zhou Xun couldn't help but look her up and down. Just when Jiang Xiaoguo felt a little embarrassed by his gaze, Zhou Xun nodded and admitted:
"Yes, because she is beautiful enough!"
"you……"
Seeing Zhou Xun admit it so openly, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but get a little angry . Ignoring her, Zhou Xun drove away. Seeing Zhou Xun driving away, Jiang Xiaoguo was so angry that she couldn't help but say:
"What kind of logic is this? Ugly people are judged by their profession. You are talking to me about profession, but you... you are not professional at all!"
In the afterglow of the sunset, Jiang Xiaoguo returned to the dormitory listlessly. She changed into a pink Hello Kitty pajamas, slippers, and big black-rimmed glasses. She washed clothes and cleaned the dormitory like a nerd. Suddenly, she remembered that she had not passed the interview with Pulin Capital. She still had Youjia Financial Management. Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaoguo quickly took out her mobile phone and called the HR manager of Youjia Financial Management. After a while, the call was connected, and Jiang Xiaoguo said politely:
"Hello, is this Manager Li?"
"I'm Jiang Xiaoguo, who passed the interview. I just came back from my hometown these two days. I want to ask, when can I come to Youjia Financial Management to complete the entry procedures?"
"Oh, okay, okay, I understand. Let's work together again if there's a chance. Bye!"
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Xiaoguo walked towards Duan Jiabao and said sadly :
"Dabao, I'm completely unemployed now!"
After hearing Jiang Xiaoguo's phone call with Manager Li, Duan Jiabao knew that not only did she fail the interview at Pulin Capital, but she also lost her job at Youjia Financial Management. He couldn't help but comfort her:
"It's okay. If we lose our job, we can find another one. Isn't it easy to find a job?"
Just when Jiang Xiaoguo wanted to say something, Liang Shuang walked in from the door, holding the bag and brochures of Youjia Finance that were only given to those who passed the interview. Jiang Xiaoguo saw the bag and brochures of Youjia Finance in her hand at a glance, and she couldn't help but ask:
"Liang Shuang, how come you have this bag?"
“All admitted employees have this bag!”
"ah?"
Hearing Liang Shuang say this, Jiang Xiaoguo slightly widened his eyes and said in surprise:
"You were the one who was accepted? No wonder Manager Li said he had found someone. Did you take my job?"
"Can you please stop talking so harshly? What do you mean by taking your job away?"
"You didn't study finance, and you don't understand finance. What kind of financial job do you do?"
Looking at the aggrieved Jiang Xiaoguo, Liang Shuang couldn't help but roll his eyes and said helplessly:
"Sister, you and I aren't the only ones interviewing at the company. The company will decide who to hire based on their abilities!"
"What are you good at?"
After taking a look at Jiang Xiaoguo who was puffing up his mouth, Liang Shuang patted his face and smiled:
"Obviously, I'm beautiful!"
"you……"
Hearing the word "beautiful" and looking at Liang Shuang who was showing off to her, Jiang Xiaoguo was almost angry and cried. She could only say stubbornly:
"Isn't it just a face? What's there to be proud of?"
“Have you ever heard of the 10,000-hour rule?”
After taking a look at Jiang Xiaoguo, Duan Jiabao, and Luo Yan who was playing games nearby, Liang Shuang said calmly:
"When you stay up late playing games and watching TV series, I go to bed early and get up early for my face. When you lie down and moldy, I go for a run and eat hot pot. You can have red soup if you want it, but what about me? I have to rinse the clear soup again. Can you do that? I have put in 10,000 hours of hard work for my face. I have done my best in the matter of beauty. It is normal for a company to be interested in my face. When you choose a company, don't you also look at the company's appearance?"
"You're awesome!"
Seeing Liang Shuang speaking so logically, Jiang Xiaoguo was speechless. Seeing Duan Jiabao still munching on snacks, she immediately glared at her and said:
"Stop eating, are you still eating?"
"I……"
Looking at the innocent Duan Jiabao, Luo Yan said nonchalantly while playing King of Glory:
"Dabao, don't listen to their nonsense about 10,000 hours. It sounds reasonable, but it's all lies. Eat when you should eat and drink when you should drink. Not everything can be achieved through hard work. Let me give you a very simple example. If you go to bed early and get up early and exercise like Liang Shuang, can you become as beautiful as her? For another example, if Liang Shuang studies as hard as Xiaoguo, can she definitely be the first in the grade for three consecutive years and get a national scholarship for three consecutive years?"
“That’s right!”
Hearing Luo Yan say this, Duan Jiabao nodded and then ate the snacks in his hand more happily. Liang Shuang next to him wanted to say something, but Luo Yan continued to smile and said:
"Dabao, you actually have advantages that others don't have!"
"What are the advantages?"
Duan Jiabao said with some anticipation.
"You have money power!"
"Superpowers? What do you mean?"
Seeing that Duan Jiabao didn't understand, Luo Yan smiled and said:
"Your father is a billionaire. No matter if he is a graduate student, doctor, or postdoctoral fellow from Tsinghua or Peking University, or a handsome man or beautiful woman, as long as he needs money, his ability is your ability, isn't it?"
Having said this, Luo Yan looked at Jiang Xiaoguo and said with a smile:
"Take our Xiaoguo for example. Why does she study so hard? Does she love studying? Does she love studying so much that she stays up late every day and ignores her health to study? I dare not say that all people, but at least most people, the only purpose of their hard work is to find a good job in the future and make a lot of money. In other words, studying is equal to making money. Since it is making money, then your father is a billionaire. Do you still need to study to make money? You just need to do what you like. Others work for money, you don’t have to work, you can work for interest, or to experience life. Anyway, the money you can earn is definitely not as much as the pocket money your parents give you. A bag of yours costs 50,000 yuan, which is enough for others to earn several months’ salary, and that’s the kind that doesn’t eat or drink!"
Hearing Luo Yan's Versailles words, without waiting for Duan Jiabao to speak, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at her with contempt and envy and said:
"Is this the reason why you don't look for a job and stay in your dorm playing games every day?"
"yes!"
Luo Yan shrugged her shoulders and smiled indifferently:
"Everyone has a dream. My dream is to stay at home happily playing games and watching anime. Is that not possible?"
Thinking that Luo Yan's mother was a famous lawyer and had bought two houses in the center of Shenzhen with full payment, and that Luo Yan was her only daughter, all the family property would belong to her in the future. Jiang Xiaoguo could not help but feel a little discouraged when he thought that he would work hard for decades to come and only be able to afford the house that she had now.
"Okay, as long as you're happy!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo looking so dejected, Duan Jiabao beside her hurriedly comforted her:
"It's okay, Xiaoguo. If you can't find a suitable job for a while, I can support you in the future!"
"Thank you, Dabao!"
Seeing Duan Jiabao being so careless, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but give her a blank look.
"You're welcome. We are good friends!"
"If you can't find a job, go find your boyfriend and let him support you first!"
Liang Shuang on the side interrupted:
"I saw him when I went to interview at Youjia Financial Management!"
Hearing Liang Shuang mention Yuan Xudong, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but ask with concern:
"He also went to Youjia Financial Management for an interview?"
"No, he went to another company, just downstairs from our company, it seems to be called some data technology company, it mainly develops and applies trading software, as well as stock trading and the like. I heard that good traders make a lot of money, some with annual incomes of millions or even tens of millions!"
"How do you know so much?"
Glancing at Liang Shuang suspiciously, Jiang Xiaoguo said with some jealousy:
"I don't even know all this, but you know it all. You just stole my job, and you're not going to steal my boyfriend too, are you?"
"Jiang Xiaoguo, are you sick?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo say this about him, Liang Shuang couldn't help but glared at her and said:
"I'm telling you, I'm the phoenix in the sky, and you're the crow on the tree. You're holding a piece of rotten meat in your mouth, and you think I'm trying to steal your food. Even a poor boy like Yuan Xudong wouldn't even want it if he gave it to me, you know?"
"Just you, and the phoenix in the sky?"
Seeing Liang Shuang claiming to be a phoenix flying in the sky, comparing himself to a crow perched on a tree, and comparing Yuan Xudong to a piece of rotten meat in his mouth, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but fight back angrily:
"You are at most an old hen that has flown to a tree. Yuan Xudong would not look down on someone like you!"
"You are the old hen!"
Liang Shuang stared at Jiang Xiaoguo and almost blurted out:
"How do you know he doesn't like me? All men are the same, he..."
Seeing that Liang Shuang did not continue speaking, Jiang Xiaoguo slightly widened his eyes and said:
"Tell me, what happened to him?"
"nothing!"
After glaring at Jiang Xiaoguo, Liang Shuang blushed and said:
"I'm going to sleep now. I don't want to waste time talking to you, Jiang Xiaoguo. I've discovered that you're not only jealous, but you also have severe paranoia. There's a saying on the Internet that goes, 'There are always villains who want to harm me.'"
"You...you are the one who is jealous, you have paranoia!"
Without paying any more attention to Jiang Xiaoguo, Liang Shuang washed up and went to bed. She lay in bed with her back to everyone, thinking about Chen Zhuo, but from time to time she thought of Yuan Xudong's appearance, especially that night that she thought was a dream. Her recent memories became clearer and clearer. She seemed to remember that night, Yuan Xudong first drank a large bottle of wine, and then began to take off his clothes, until...
Seeing Liang Shuang went to bed and Luo Yan was playing King of Glory with her teammates, Jiang Xiaoguo could only chat with Duan Jiabao who was still eating snacks:
"Dabao, do you think that in this world, only face is the passport?"
"No way, if you say that, that celebrity should be the president now!"
“It seems like a celebrity really became president!”
“Is this true or false?”
"Really? He was the president in a TV show, and he became the president in the real world as well!"
"So exaggerated?"
Duan Jiabao, who never paid attention to political news, slightly widened his eyes and said:
"Are you sure it's not that novel you read, or the TV show or something?"
"Of course not. Sometimes reality is more exaggerated than fiction, okay?"
Jiang Xiaoguo rolled her eyes at Duan Jiabao and continued:
"Anyway, it must be easier for these big stars to find jobs than for me. I used to think that finding a job still depended on performance, but now I realize that looks are more important than performance. This is too unfair!"
"It's actually okay. Well, if you're strong enough, you should be able to defeat beauty!"
"The key is that I don't have ultimate strength!"
Jiang Xiaoguo burst into tears and said:
"I spent four years in college just wanting to stay in Shenzhen, but now everything is at stake!"
"Okay, okay, don't cry, you still have many advantages!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo crying loudly, Duan Jiabao quickly comforted her. Hearing Duan Jiabao comforting her like this, Jiang Xiaoguo immediately stopped and asked:
"What are my strengths? Tell me in detail!"
"Well……"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo's expression change so quickly, she was crying loudly one second, and acted like nothing happened the next second. Duan Jiabao stammered and tried to test her:
"You...virtuous?"
"ah?"
"Filial piety?"
"What?"
"Can you live?"
"No, what kind of advantage is this?"
Jiang Xiaoguo stamped his feet anxiously and said:
"These are all the advantages of being a young wife. You should say something real and special!"
Seeing Jiang Xiaoguo so impatient, Duan Jiabao hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively:
"Are you particularly shameless?"
"you……"
Seeing Duan Jiabao say that he was particularly shameless, Jiang Xiaoguo deflated like a deflated ball and said weakly:
"Duan Jiabao, I asked you to point out my strengths, but you ended up pointing out my weaknesses. In this world, everyone looks at appearance, but I am the only one who has no face!"
"Hey, Xiaoguo, please don't embarrass me, okay?"
"No, I'm making things difficult for you by asking you to tell me my strengths, right?"
"Oh, I'm stupid!"
Seeing that Jiang Xiaoguo was still listless, Duan Jiabao immediately offered an idea:
"How about this, you go find Yuan Xudong, he's your boyfriend, he must know what your strengths are!"
“Yes!”
When Jiang Xiaoguo heard Duan Jiabao mention Yuan Xudong, she checked the time. It was 8:30 in the evening. It was still early, so she went out wearing Hello Kitty pajamas, Winnie the Pooh slippers, and large black-rimmed glasses.
"I'm going to find Yuan Xudong. Bye!"
"Bye, remember to come back before half past ten!"
"knew!"
…
After Jiang Xiaoguo left, Liang Shuang immediately climbed down from the bed, took a deep breath of fresh air, and said with relief:
"Oh my God, she's finally gone. I hope she doesn't come back tonight!"
"ah?"
Hearing Liang Shuang say this, Duan Jiabao slightly widened his eyes and said:
"If she doesn't come back, where will she sleep tonight?"
Giving Duan Jiabao a blank look, Liang Shuang curled his lips and said:
"She can sleep wherever she wants. There are so many big hotels out there. Are you worried that she won't have a place to sleep?"
"No, are you sleeping in a hotel?"
