Volume 5: Twenty Undoubted Chapter 299 Liang Shuang calls Yuan Xudong a scumbag
Walking into the Fortune Building where Pulin Capital is located again, looking at the well-dressed workplace elites coming and going, Jiang Xiaoguo unconsciously raised his head and chest, walked into the elevator with a smile, and then pressed the 25th floor where Pulin Capital is located. Arriving at the 25th floor and walking into Pulin Capital, Jiang Xiaoguo glanced around, then trotted to the front desk and said with a smile:
"Wendy, Wendy!"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo's voice, Wendy looked up at her. Before she could speak, Jiang Xiaoguo smiled impatiently and said:
“Look at me!”
As Jiang Xiaoguo spoke, he placed his phone on the front desk, then turned around twice in front of Wendy and said with a smile:
"What do you think of the new clothes and high heels?"
Wendy praised Jiang Xiaoguo, who looked very excited, wearing a white shirt and black trousers, a pair of black high heels, and a beige leather bag slung over her left shoulder.
"Sure, Jiang Xiaoguo, you look like a pretty lady in the workplace today!"
"Is it?"
Hearing that Wendy also thought so, Jiang Xiaoguo first took back his phone, then lay on the front desk and laughed:
"That's a must!"
"Boss Zhou!"
Seeing Zhou Xun coming over, Wendy quickly stood up and greeted him respectfully. Jiang Xiaoguo next to her turned her head and looked to the side, and saw Zhou Xun standing next to her. She quickly followed Wendy and greeted him:
"Mr. Zhou, good morning!"
After glancing at Jiang Xiaoguo, Zhou Xun walked to the front desk and stopped. Wendy quickly picked up the coffee and cake that had been prepared long ago and handed them to him with both hands, saying:
"Mr. Zhou, your coffee and cake!"
"Well, put the cake in the refrigerator for me!"
"Okay, Mr. Zhou!"
Seeing Zhou Xun leaving the front desk with his coffee and ignoring her, Jiang Xiaoguo couldn't help but curl her lips. What kind of person is this? He has no manners at all. She looked at Wendy and smiled:
"Wendy, I have to go to work first!"
"Bye-Bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After waving goodbye to Wendy, Jiang Xiaoguo put on a smile and followed Zhou Xun into the office area of Pulin Capital. She waited in the conference room with other campus recruited interns who were about to join Pulin Capital. After waiting for a while, seeing that everyone was sitting in their seats in silence, Jiang Xiaoguo looked around and took the lead in breaking the silence:
"How about we get to know each other and introduce ourselves before we officially start working?"
"Okay, let's start with me!"
After taking a look at Jiang Xiaoguo, a girl sitting opposite her said:
"My name is Zhong Yan, I'm from the University of Hong Kong, you can call me Amanda, and I just passed the Chartered Financial Analyst Level 1!"
After Amanda finished introducing herself, the remaining interns introduced themselves one by one, starting from behind her and going in a clockwise direction:
"My name is Peng Zhuoran, you can also call me Nancy. I am from the University of Hong Kong. Amanda and I are actually in the same department and dormitory. I just passed the Chartered Financial Analyst Level 1 exam!"
"My name is Zhao Tingnan, and I'm from Peking University!"
"Peking University, Li Li!"
"Tsinghua University, Jin Peifeng!"
"Yuxiao, from Central University of Finance and Economics!"
"UCLA, Peng Zhao!"
"National University of Singapore, Zhang Runyan!"
"Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, Li Yuening!"
"Hello everyone, my name is Li Tianyang, and I'm from Peking University!"
…
After everyone introduced themselves one by one, everyone looked at the initiator of the self-introduction, who was also the only intern left who had not introduced himself yet - Jiang Xiaoguo.
Seeing that everyone was looking at him eagerly, Jiang Xiaoguo regretted it so much that he almost wanted to slap himself twice and then find a hole to crawl into. Although it was extremely embarrassing, the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. Jiang Xiaoguo could only bite the bullet and introduce himself:
"Oh, my name is Jiang Xiaoguo, Jiang as in Jiang Ziya, Guo as in Guozi, and Xiao as in Big and Small. I'm from... from the Northeast!"
After saying that, Jiang Xiaoguo lowered his head and looked at the table, scratched his hair with both hands, and then held his chin with his right hand and remained silent. The conference room became quiet again, and you could hear a pin drop. At this time, the person in charge of receiving interns at Pulin Capital walked in and said with a smile:
“Welcome everyone!”
The interns looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in her thirties walking in. She walked to the front of the conference room, looked at the interns and smiled:
"Hello everyone, I am Yang Xiaorong, the investment director of Pulin Capital, and also a startup employee of Pulin. You can call me Sister Xiaorong!"
At this point, Yang Xiaorong paused for a moment. The interns below understood immediately and applauded. After a round of warm applause, Yang Xiaorong continued:
"Although Pulin Capital is a new fund that has only been established for a few years, it has developed very quickly, from a few people before to dozens of people now. Over there are the company's back-end departments, the administrative department, the human resources department, and the information technology department, serving the entire company. Let me take you on a tour first, so that you can get familiar with the environment. Follow me!"
Yang Xiaorong led a group of interns out of the conference room. After visiting the company's administrative department, human resources department, and information technology department, Yang Xiaorong led a group of interns to the investment department and said:
"Go forward. On the left is the company's middle office, risk control department, and finance department. Especially the risk control department. All the company's projects must be evaluated by them. This side is the company's front office department, which is the investment department you belong to. This is your office!"
Following Yang Xiaorong into the investment department, Jiang Xiaoguo looked at the huge office, which was empty. He looked at Yang Xiaorong standing at the front and said,
"Sister Xiaorong, why is there no one here?"
Hearing Jiang Xiaoguo asking him, Yang Xiaorong glanced at her and said with a smile:
“People in investment positions are always out on projects every day, so don’t think your job is too easy. People who stay in the company every day will eventually not be retained by the company!”
After that, Yang Xiaorong looked at the thoughtful interns and smiled as he turned to the president's office facing the investment department:
"The two over there are our founding managing partners of Pulin. The one in the blue shirt is Mr. Su Hang, who is mainly responsible for fundraising and investor relations. The one in the white shirt and gray suit is Mr. Zhou Xun, who is mainly responsible for investment and operations!"
"Finally I get to meet President Zhou!"
As soon as Yang Xiaorong finished speaking, Amanda, who was standing in front of the interns, smiled and said:
"Sister Xiaorong, Mr. Zhou is a senior at our Shuangshi Middle School. Moreover, he was the top scorer in the science college entrance examination in our province and is still a legend in our school!"
"Mr. Zhou is definitely amazing. He pushed forward a project when he was a senior in college, used an early investment of 6 million, and got a 20-fold return when he exited!"
"Oh, twenty times as much?"
"Yes, that's twenty times, a return of 120 million!"
Smiling and looking at the interns who were amazed, Yang Xiaorong continued to paint a rosy picture for them according to the company's practice, setting an example:
"Also, after graduating, Mr. Zhou worked at Shanshu in Shanghai and the Gaosheng Technology Media Telecommunications Group in Hong Kong. Before he started his own business, he was the youngest general manager of Gaosheng at the time!"
"So President Zhou is so powerful, what about President Su Hang?"
After Yang Xiaorong finished speaking, an intern asked.
Hearing this, Yang Xiaorong smiled reservedly. She glanced at Su Hang and Zhou Xun in the CEO's office not far away and said:
"When I was in college, Su Hang always slept in the bunk below Mr. Zhou. Of course, he was also very impressive, but..."
After a slight pause, Yang Xiaorong deliberately whetted the appetite of the interns, blinked his eyes, and smiled cautiously:
"Boss Su's father is even more powerful. This building is Boss Su's property!"
"Oh, so amazing?"
The interns were all shocked. Although they were all top students who graduated from prestigious universities, they were still workers in the final analysis. There was a saying in ancient times: "Learn literary and martial arts, and sell them to the emperor's family!" In fact, it is the same in modern times. The vast majority of students study for more than ten years and finally enter the society, and are also "sold to capitalists!" Childhood dreams are ultimately no match for the reality after growing up.
Ordinary people work all their lives just for a house, a car, and some savings in a bank account, but in Shenzhen's central business district, where every inch of land is valuable, Mr. Su actually owns a huge fortune. No wonder these graduates from prestigious universities with broad vision are amazed and talking about it like ordinary people. Although they have not met Mr. Su yet, and do not know his personality and character, or whether he is tall or short, fat or thin, their immediate impression is that Mr. Su is very powerful, not for anything else, but because he is rich. In the eyes of the vast majority of ordinary people, being rich means being capable, and being rich means being powerful.
And this is indeed the case. If you have money, you can have more social resources and pursue the spiritual enjoyment you want. However, the vast majority of ordinary people just live for the sake of living, and their children will lose at the starting line from the moment they are born. Except for a very few lucky ones who can achieve class advancement, the rest can only contribute their entire lives as the cornerstone of society. The entire society is like a pyramid.
The higher you are on the top, the fewer material and spiritual wealth you have, while the lower you are on the bottom, the less material and spiritual wealth you have. It can even be said that you have only a small amount of material wealth, but no spiritual wealth at all. Of course, novels, games, movies and TV dramas are not so much spiritual wealth as they are a kind of spiritual poison that paralyzes people. It is also a kind of spiritual poison that is strictly controlled by those above you. What you can see is what those above you allow you to see.
If things go on like this, just like the ancient rites, righteousness, integrity, heaven, earth, the emperor, parents and teachers, what you think belongs only to your own outlook on life and values, which are nothing more than a pre-fabricated mold. To give a very simple example, in universal values, people should be kind, be a good person, helpful, selfless and so on. So, if doing so does not benefit yourself in any way, and even requires sacrificing your own interests or even your life, why should people do this?
Many people don’t know why, they just do it because the vast majority of people think so. On the one hand, they believe that kindness and self-sacrifice are right, but on the other hand, they also believe that one should not just follow the crowd. So when the vast majority of people believe that kindness and self-sacrifice are right, if someone advocates selfishness, what will be the result?
Looking at these so-called graduates from prestigious universities who have just entered the society, Yang Xiaorong smiled rather reservedly. Apart from the halo of prestigious universities, these people are no different from the general public in character. They are just as greedy and vain, and they just like to show off and compare. It's just that the things that ordinary people are vain and show off are lower-end, while the things that they are vain and show off are higher-end, such as academic degrees, whether they graduated from prestigious universities, etc. In essence, they are comparing the "good" they have with the "bad" of others. For such people, taking the "better" people around them as examples will naturally inspire their passion for struggle, and then they will work hard for the company, thereby making themselves as "good" as the role models. Thinking of this in his heart, Yang Xiaorong continued to smile:
"Mr. Su and Mr. Zhou have known each other for more than ten years. They went to school together, started a business together, have a good relationship and are very compatible, but they haven't gotten married yet!"
"Not married yet?"
After hearing Yang Xiaorong's news, Zhao Tingnan, an intern from Peking University who wore large black-rimmed glasses and held a pen and a notebook in her hands, looked like a good girl. She smiled softly and said:
"Then the two of them..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhao Tingnan smiled rather embarrassedly. Before Yang Xiaorong could react, the female interns beside her took a look at Zhao Tingnan's performance and started laughing. Seeing them all like this, Yang Xiaorong was stunned for a moment before reacting:
"You post-95s people are really stupid. What I mean is that they are not married yet. They are not in the relationship you think. Also, the company absolutely does not allow office romances. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
All the interns smiled and nodded. Among them, Zhao Tingnan covered half of her face with the notebook in her hand. Her bright eyes behind her glasses looked at Yang Xiaorong and smiled:
"Sister Xiaorong, if you are with your best friend, does that count as an office romance?"
"Well, you can ask Mr. Zhou or Mr. Su!"
Glancing at Zhao Tingnan, whose face was slightly red, Yang Xiaorong smiled and said:
"If both of them have no objection, then it doesn't count. Is there any other problem?"
“No more!”
Zhao Tingnan said with a red face, and the interns next to her started laughing, especially the female interns who were close to Zhao Tingnan. Seeing them covering their mouths and laughing softly, combined with their previous criticism of Su Hang and Zhou Xun, it was obvious that they had read a lot of novels about domineering women, and even BL novels, and had been deeply addicted to them, becoming fujoshi.
Looking at these female interns who seemed a little unserious, Yang Xiaorong couldn't help but roll his eyes and said:
"Okay, these are your workstations. Go sit down first. We will go through the entry procedures, sign the labor contract and confidentiality agreement, and then divide into four groups, A, B, C, and D. Each group will complete a business plan for Coral English. The group results and your personal performance will serve as the basis for your internship grouping. If you perform well, you may be noticed by President Zhou and receive personal guidance. See you soon. Good luck, everyone!"
"Thank you, Sister Xiaorong!"
"You're welcome!"
Seeing Yang Xiaorong leave the investment department, the interns found an empty seat and sat down to wait quietly. Bored, Jiang Xiaoguo took out his phone and sent a WeChat message to Yuan Xudong:
"Xiao Dongzi, are you there? Have you found my handbag?"
…
In the InterContinental Hotel, in a king-size bed room, on the messy bed, the sweaty Yuan Xudong was panting slightly. He stroked Liang Shuang under him, stroking her sweat-soaked hair, and said proudly:
"How is it, are you satisfied?"
Ignoring Yuan Xudong, Liang Shuang lay motionless on the bed. Seeing her like this, Yuan Xudong didn't care. At this moment, a WeChat notification sounded. It was Yuan Xudong's phone. He picked up the phone and took a look. It turned out to be a WeChat message from Jiang Xiaoguo:
"Xiao Dongzi, are you there? Have you found my handbag?"
After taking a look at Liang Shuang who was keeping his eyes closed and not talking, Yuan Xudong opened the WeChat voice message and said:
"I found the bag at the hotel. I'll send it to you later. By the way, how's your work going?"
"It's okay, they are all graduates from prestigious universities, and I am the only one with an ordinary undergraduate degree. It's so embarrassing. What should I do?"
"It's okay, you'll get used to it after a few times!"
"Damn, what are you doing now?"
"sleep!"
After taking a look at Liang Shuang, who was lying naked beside him, Yuan Xudong smiled wickedly and replied:
"By the way, I saw your roommate Liang Shuang in the hotel . She was drinking alone there. Do you know what happened to her?"
"Liang Shuang? Her boyfriend cheated on her. Maybe she's in a bad mood. I won't say more. The leader is here. Bye!"
"Bye-Bye!"
After finishing the chat, Yuan Xudong put his phone back on the bedside table. Seeing Liang Shuang looking up at him, he smiled and said:
"What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Looking at Yuan Xudong, who already has a girlfriend named Jiang Xiaoguo but still treats him like this, Liang Shuang said in a cold voice:
"Scumbag!"
