A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Lu Yang turned on his phone.

Then, Wang Ziying sent a message.

Wang Ziying: [Are you there?]

Lu Yang smiled but didn't reply immediately.

If this had happened a week ago, he would have replied to the message instantly.

But now?

He put his phone on the table and decided to let it air out first.

soon.

My phone vibrated several more times.

Wang Ziying: [Lu Yang? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there? Are you there?]

When Lu Yang didn't reply to her messages, she kept refreshing the screen.

Lu Yang picked up his phone and replied calmly with two words: "Speak."

The chat bubble on the other end of the line flashed for several seconds.

Wang Ziying: [Is the employment contract that was posted in the group real?]

Lu Yang: [What do you think?]

Wang Ziying: [I just wanted to confirm that I've always believed what you said and never doubted it, really.]

Lu Yang did not reply.

You've always believed in me?

I don't believe you for a second!

In his view, the facts were right in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe them.

Ten seconds or so passed.

Wang Ziying posted another message: [Congratulations, Lu Yang! Congratulations on joining a great company and landing a job!]

Lu Yang typed "Thank you" and sent it.

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

After Lu Yang replied with "thank you" and then ignored her again, Wang Ziying continued typing: "Um, Lu Yang, can I ask you something?"

Lu Yang had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on.

Given Wang Ziying's personality, if it was just congratulations, she wouldn't say anything more after posting it.

She had more to say.

Wang Ziying: [You know I've been looking for a job lately, right? I've sent out so many resumes but haven't heard back. You're working at Xueyu Group now, could you help me ask if they're still hiring?]

Lu Yang looked at the message she sent.

To be honest, he wasn't surprised at all.

He knew Wang Ziying very well.

When he was pursuing her, he gave her whatever she wanted.

He treats me to meals, helps me with my homework, and even runs errands to pick up my packages.

He thought it was romantic.

I later realized that they were just tools.

In her eyes, it was only natural for him to help her.

Lu Yang replied with just three words:

I can't help.

Wang Ziying replied quickly: "You haven't even asked yet, how can you say you can't help? Besides, I just want you to help me submit a resume, not to pull strings. Why don't you give it a try?"

Just as Lu Yang was about to reply, Wang Hao came over.

Who's looking for you?

Wang Hao glanced at the screen, and his pupils dilated instantly.

"Holy crap? School beauty Wang?"

Upon hearing this, Li Yunbin and Xu Guangkun both gathered around.

"Did you ask me to help her submit her resume?"

Wang Hao couldn't hold back any longer, "How could she have the nerve to say something like that?"

Li Yunbin pushed up his glasses: "Godfather, this woman used to treat you like a tool, but now that you've joined the Snowfield Group, she's clinging to you again?"

Xu Guangkun chimed in, "Exactly! Even if someone has to recommend someone, it should be us! Why should it be her turn?"

"I didn't say I'd help."

Lu Yang kicked the three of them away.

Then he directly blocked Wang Ziying's WeChat account.

"Alright, time for bed!"

……

Early the next morning.

Lu Yang had just gotten out of bed when his phone rang.

Upon closer inspection, I saw it was a phone call from counselor Zhang Dalei.

"Lu Yang, are you at school right now?"

"exist."

"Come to my office, I need to talk to you about something."

The phone hangs up.

Lu Yang was stunned for a moment.

When a counselor proactively contacts a student, it's usually for one of two reasons: either the student has committed a crime, or the student is being used as an example to prevent future offenses.

He thought about it for a moment and realized he hadn't done anything out of line recently.

Oh, does skipping class count?

When I arrived at the office, the door was ajar. Zhang Dalei was probably in his early forties and wearing a pair of old-fashioned glasses.

"teacher."

Zhang Dalei raised his head.

Upon seeing that it was Lu Yang, his expression immediately became enthusiastic.

It's important to know that Lu Yang was practically invisible at school, and his counselor was always very strict when speaking to him.

Something's off about that smiling face of yours today.

"Sit down, sit down!"

Zhang Dalei pulled over a chair from the side. "Want some water?"

They'll even pour me water?

Lu Yang felt something was wrong.

"Teacher Zhang, please tell me what's wrong."

"I heard... you started working at Snowfield Company?"

Zhang Dalei didn't mince words and asked directly.

Got it!

Even the counselor knows about this!

Lu Yang nodded: "Yes."

Zhang Dalei smiled and said, "I've called you here today mainly to discuss two things. First, do your internship conflict with your classes? If you need to reschedule, I can help you coordinate."

"No conflict, flexible working hours."

"That's good. The second thing..."

Zhang Dalei rubbed his hands together: "You are the first student from our school to join the Snowland Group since its founding."

"Actually, it's nothing. I mainly wanted to talk to you today to promote this and set a good example for the younger students."

Lu Yang remained silent.

He probably understood.

For a second-tier university like this, a student getting into Xueyu Group is like a top scholar emerging from the village; they'd want to announce it to the whole village with fanfare.

Zhang Dalei continued, "I'd like to do a feature interview with you and put it on the school's official website and WeChat account. What do you think?"

Lu Yang: "..."

"Teacher Zhang, can you please keep a low profile?"

"Hey, how can you call this not being low-key?" Zhang Dalei exclaimed anxiously. "This is an honor for the school! Moreover, the principal specifically instructed us to do a good job of publicity, which will greatly help our school's enrollment and employment."

To put it bluntly, schools also have their own KPIs. If the employment rate looks good, the leaders will feel proud, and it will be easier to boast about it when recruiting students.

After thinking about it, Lu Yang had no choice but to agree.

Zhang Dalei's smile widened. He took out a form and pushed it over. "This is the college's outstanding student recommendation form. Fill it out and give it to me. You might be nominated for the annual outstanding student selection."

Lu Yang took the form and glanced at it.

Another form to fill out.

He filled out more forms in the last two days than he has in his entire life.

He filled it out hastily and then pushed it back to Zhang Dalei.

Zhang Dalei frowned slightly: "Lu... why did you write 'singing, dancing, rapping, and basketball' in the 'special skills' section?"

"Isn't that a special skill?"

"Could you write something more serious? For example, how did you pass the interview at Xueyu Group? That would be very inspiring for your juniors."

"I don't know how."

Zhang Dalei choked for a moment.

will not?

How did you get hired by Xueyu Group?

"Don't joke around, kid."

"Teacher, I really don't know how."

Lu Yang felt helpless.

You can't exactly say, "My wife is the company president," can you?

Okay, okay, you don't want to say, right?

Zhang Dalei sighed.

Okay, forget it.

"Um... teacher, if there's nothing else, I'll be going now." Lu Yang stood up.

"etc."

Zhang Dalei called out to him, a hesitant expression on his face, "Lu Yang, um, can I ask you something?"

"Please speak."

Zhang Dalei took a deep breath.

"Is Xueyu Group still hiring? I have a nephew who's graduating this year with a finance degree, and his grades are pretty good..."

Lu Yang: "..."

Good grief, even the counselor is using connections.
