The attic connects the past and present; I became a tycoon and got rich overnight!

Chapter 34: Choose me, you definitely won't be disappointed.

Liang Bei, dressed in a formal suit, leaned back in his chair.

He stared at Song You'an for a long time before slowly uttering two words: "Interview."

After saying that, he reached out and handed his resume to Song Youan.

Song Youan glanced at the paper bag, then looked at Liang Bei and said, "Director Liang, I don't think I invited you for an interview, did I?"

"Does it matter?" Liang Bei said, "Of all the interviewees, no one knows this industry better than me."

His tone still betrayed the arrogance of someone in a superior position, even though he had now become a pariah in the industry.

But Song Youan knew from the beginning that he was just a victim of QG in this public opinion storm. If it weren't for the company's authorization, even if he was the director, he wouldn't dare to do such a thing so blatantly.

“You’re right.” Song You’an nodded slightly. “Director Liang is definitely at the top of the industry. My small studio can’t accommodate someone as important as you.”

"Song Youan, you have to have me," Liang Bei said firmly.

Song Youan's expression hardened: "Director Liang, are you trying to force me to buy? Why should I accept you?"

“Because I have nowhere else to go.” Liang Bei leaned forward, placed his resume on the table, looked into Song Youan’s eyes and said, “My professional stain is already on my name. I was fired, and no company in the entire industry will be willing to give me another chance.”

“But I’m still young, I won’t give up like this. Song You’an, you know I was following orders. You wanted to fight against the injustice in this industry, but in the end, I was the only one who became cannon fodder. Why should I be the one to suffer this fate?”

"You've been an accomplice to evil and aided and abetted the wicked." Song You'an met his gaze coldly, her tone even icy.

Upon hearing this, Liang Bei laughed and nodded in agreement: "You're right, I do deserve it, I admit it."

"But I'm not willing to do it."

At this point, Song Youan noticed that his eyes were red.

Liang Bei lowered his head and said in a very low voice, "There are so many dark sides to this industry, and I'm just the one that's out in the open. Why should I be the one who deserves to die?"

“Song Youan, I know you look down on me, and I look down on myself too.” He slowly raised his head again: “But if I’m here, you will avoid many detours. You need someone like me.”

Song Youan took a deep breath, looked into Liang Bei's eyes, and felt a pang of inner turmoil.

Can't this system just pop up and show Liang Bei's score to me right now?

She wasn't feeling sorry for him out of pity, but rather, as Liang Bei said, she needed someone like him; he had once been one of the industry's leaders.

Her dilemma stemmed precisely from her rationality.

Song Youan's silence made Liang Bei realize her wavering. He gripped the corner of the table tightly as if grasping at a lifeline, and said with a firm gaze, "Trust me, I will definitely be worth more than you expect, and I will definitely not let you down. Give me a chance, even if I have to start as a designer's assistant, I will have no complaints."

"You want revenge." Song Youan suddenly spoke, uttering these four words.

Liang Bei's expression froze, a flash of shock crossing his eyes.

Song Youan smiled slightly: "You also despise doing such plagiarism, but you are willing to go against your own heart for the sake of the company. It's a pity that after the incident, the company kicked you out without saying a word and made you take the blame."

"So you hate it, but you're powerless. The industry has practically blacklisted you; no one would risk using you at this time. But if you want revenge, you have to stay in this industry. You're desperate, so you came to me."

Liang Bei stared blankly at Song You'an.

After a long pause, he suddenly laughed: "Song You'an, I knew I hadn't misjudged you. You're really smart!" He stopped pretending and laid his cards on the table.

"That's right, I want to get revenge on them. I want to use my abilities to trample these bastards and hypocrites under my feet."

Song Youan narrowed her eyes and said again, "But you hate them, but don't you hate me?"

"Of course I hate you!" Liang Bei blurted out, "But while I hate you, I need you even more. Just like you said, I chose you because I had no other choice. So if you give me a chance, we can call it even."

“You should know that if I really use you, the pressure I will face will be enormous,” Song Youan said.

It was she who exposed the recording, making QG and Liang Bei the target of public criticism. If they turn around and recruit Liang Bei, who is despised by the industry, the online public opinion will definitely backfire.

If QG uses this opportunity to fabricate a story that she and Liang Bei orchestrated the whole thing to slander the QG Group, netizens might not necessarily believe it.

This would undoubtedly be a huge risk for her newly established studio, and she didn't want to take that risk.

“I can’t predict whether these risks will occur, and if they do, there’s nothing I can do to help you.” Liang Bei understood Song You’an’s concerns, so he looked at her seriously and said, “But you know that’s life. You have to give up something to gain something. High risk is always accompanied by high reward. If you choose me, I will definitely not let you down.”

Song Youan looked at him and noticed that he seemed less energetic than when she last saw him, but his aura was more imposing.

This incident must have been a significant blow to him, but it also clearly brought out some of his other qualities.

After thinking for a long time, Song Youan finally picked up the resume on the table and said to Liang Bei, "I will consider it carefully and give you an answer in three days."

Upon hearing this, Liang Bei tensed up, then his eyes lit up. He slowly stood up, looked at Song You'an, and said, "Thank you."

After speaking, he bent down and bowed to Song Youan.

Seeing this, Song Youan frowned slightly, feeling a mix of emotions.

"I only said I would consider it carefully, not that I would definitely use you." Song Youan didn't want him to be too optimistic, after all, she didn't have a definite answer yet.

But Liang Bei seemed to already know the answer in his heart. He said, "You will definitely use mine."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Song Youan sat in her seat for a long time without saying a word. Just that tug-of-war had left her feeling completely exhausted.

The reason is simple: she needs someone like Liang Bei, but she can't bring herself to make a firm decision to choose him.

The 28th of June.

Song Youan had prepared everything in advance for Youanju to open its doors to guests today. She moved several tables to the front yard to use as a display stand, and also placed exquisite desserts and milk tea in the garden pavilion.

The main product sold today is perfume.

Lately, whenever she goes to a luxury store and the sales associates want to give her something as a gift, she specifically asks for perfume samples.

That's right, the cost price of this batch of goods is 0 yuan.

Nearly fifty exquisite perfume samples were displayed on the exhibition table. Of course, there were also various small cakes as supporting actors today. Song Youan did not prepare many, only thirty.

Meanwhile, faint sounds of commotion could be heard coming from outside the gate.
