The Birth of Shanghai's First Conglomerate

People who love to show off often don't have many friends.

This is also quite evident in Erpiya.

However, she is only three and a half years old and only recently discovered that she belongs to the prodigy category.

It's perfectly normal to like showing off.

Chen Pingsheng would definitely not engage in a verbal battle with a woman who lacks manners and acts recklessly because of her connections.

He only deals with things at a price that others cannot afford.

However, he didn't tell Erpiya, to prevent her from going astray in the future.

It seemed like that was the end of it, and Erpiya went about her daily routine as usual.

However, in addition to her studies, she has developed another hobby.

That means she learned martial arts from her older sister, who has been a tough character since childhood and has never been bullied by anyone from her school days until now.

Wherever she goes, she's the class leader, the kind of person who can rally the whole class with a single call.

In this respect, Erpiya will need at least two or three years to learn.

……

Time flies, and before we knew it, it was late October.

As the temperature grew colder, Chen Pingsheng even changed into his old cadre uniform before going out.

His middle-aged demeanor was unmistakable, and compared to the sophistication of this metropolis, he rarely bothered to dress up these days.

Even the watch on his wrist has been replaced with an Omega entry-level model with a black leather strap and white dial, priced at around 30,000 yuan.

Don't spend more than your annual salary on a car, and it's best not to spend more than your monthly salary on a watch.

He still has a firm grasp on the basic consumption concepts of middle-class families.

When I went out and took the elevator, I ran into Shi Xiaoshan and his girlfriend Shen Bing again. The two seemed to be getting along well, chatting and laughing.

Shen Bing is probably the ideal woman in many people's hearts; she has an extremely pure appearance and the same inner beauty.

She hasn't been influenced by the big city yet and is still willing to live in a rented room with Shi Xiaoshan.

Because we often met, we got to know each other.

They would occasionally take a walk together on the Bund, and Shen Bing especially liked Erpiya.

Erpiya also likes her.

Every time Erpiya goes out, he likes to knock on her door and ask her to go for a walk together.

Let's not even talk about salary when we talk about university professors; everyone will at least show them basic respect.

Shi Xiaoshan works at a very small private company, earning a little over 10,000 yuan a month, which is not considered low income.

But it doesn't even come close to high income.

Such a big house, if it weren't for his rich bunkmate below him, he clearly couldn't afford to rent it on his own.

It's a pity that this guy has such low male intuition.

They didn't even realize that his brother had feelings for his girlfriend, even Shen Bing herself had noticed.

There were also subtle, unintentional reminders, but Shi Xiaoshan remained completely unaware.

He would drop off his second daughter at school first, then his eldest daughter, and only after dropping them off would he go to school to register himself.

Because the temperature had dropped again, Jiang Xiaodong, a college student from the 1990s, invited him to have hot pot together at noon.

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, Chen Pingsheng went over.

University autumn recruitment will begin in late October, and this time of year is the most exciting for graduating students.

This year, quite a few companies have applied to recruit students from the University of Finance and Economics.

There are dozens of job opportunities offered, and not only do students look forward to this time of year, but teachers also help them find jobs.

Among these companies, the most anticipated are undoubtedly Da'a Li, located in Hangzhou, and Tengying Group, based in Shanghai.

Both companies are known for their excellent benefits and are dream destinations that college students strive to join.

Compared to Alibaba, Tencent Film Group is clearly more popular among students from other places.

Because its open recruitment notice mentioned several requirements, one of which was that it would give preference to students from other places and college students from mountainous areas.

While this is highly controversial in the capital market, it is very popular in universities. Countless college students believe that Tencent understands the difficult job-seeking situation of out-of-town students, which is why it has the strict requirement of only hiring out-of-town students.

This is a testament to the company's great love and a practical form of charity.

For someone whose house is waiting to be demolished, having a good job or not won't affect his future marriage and having children.

In contrast, college students from other places are completely different.

However, Yang Hong also mentioned a bad rumor: "Getting into a group like Tengying is definitely a good thing, but I don't know if you've heard some rumors. A person in charge of the human resources department for campus recruitment at Tengying Group is actually using back channels to provide special quotas for direct entry."

"It seems that this kind of thing doesn't only happen in state-owned enterprises. Where there are people, there are underworlds. I've also received some information that two of the prettiest girls in the department got in through connections last year."

Jiang Xiaodong sighed helplessly, "This year is even worse. The Tencent Film Academy's campus recruitment hasn't even started yet, but it's already spreading in those small circles that as long as you sleep with that person in charge for a few nights, your spot is guaranteed."

"Such a thing exists?" Chen Pingsheng asked in surprise. "How come I didn't know about it!"

"This kind of thing is normal. Some people have seized the power to enter the Tengying Group, and many female college students are willing to sell their bodies in order to get into such a big group."

There are some things that even teachers can only complain about in private.

After all, Tencent has grown to this size.

Now it's not that it's begging universities to recruit it, but that top universities are begging it to get in.

Even if some of the people inside behave inappropriately, what can they say? It's just a matter of one party willing to hit and the other willing to be hit.

Chen Pingsheng lost his appetite; he hated this kind of unspoken rule the most.

Within their own companies, the most rigorous investigations are conducted into illegal activities stemming from the small amount of power they wield.

I never expected something like this to happen.

Who wouldn't like a pretty college girl? But some people just have to use their tiny bit of power to ruin her.

After he finished eating without making a sound, he called over his teaching assistant, Jiang Yilan, and asked her if she knew about these things.

In fact, Jiang Yilan knew this as well.

It wasn't that she liked gossiping about these things, but rather that her only friend in college, who was also her roommate, often talked about this matter with righteous indignation in the dormitory.

Then someone asked her friend if she could get into a big corporation like Tengying and live a worry-free life just by sleeping with someone for a few days.

Are you willing? My roommate remained silent.

Chen Pingsheng asked expressionlessly, "Do you have a group like that?"

"No, someone asked me to add them before, but I didn't," Jiang Yilan said softly.

"Add me in and help me see what's going on."

A single HR manager responsible for campus recruitment simply couldn't organize such a large-scale operation.
It couldn't be hidden from the strictly managed Tencent Group; there must have been some male executives involved.

Then, they deceived their superiors and subordinates to cover it up. Who are these people?

Jiang Yilan didn't understand why Professor Chen, who had a gentle personality, would react so strongly to this kind of thing.
She is still very obedient.

After she left, I immediately joined a small group chat with my roommate.

This group also has an additional name at their university.

That's the Tencent Games' concubine selection group; those who aren't pretty enough aren't even qualified to join.

And there are even people specifically organizing these groups.

Chen Pingsheng was greatly shocked, as corporate collapse often begins from within.

He hadn't even realized before that someone was using Tencent's power to do such things.

Who exactly are they?

They managed to keep it a secret from him completely, so much so that even Chu Qiuyan, who had been in charge of campus recruitment for the past two years, didn't know.

Such great selfishness has arisen within.

It's really strange that he was completely kept in the dark.

He still wanted to take advantage of this college fall recruitment season to thoroughly investigate this matter.

Sure enough, even the biggest boss can't sit in the office all day; there are countless things behind the scenes that he doesn't know about.
