You're already divorced, why are you so anxious about him becoming a succubus?

Shengshi Culture is a medium-sized media company located in the CBD of Jiangcheng City, specializing in new media operations and short video planning.

Lu Ci interviewed for the position of Senior Operations Manager today.

Just at 8:55, Lu Ci pushed open the glass door of Shengshi Culture.

As I entered the interview room, a broom used for cleaning was knocked over by someone and was lying across the doorway, with two crumpled pieces of paper next to it.

Lu Ci was mindful of the time, and since he had just woken up and his mind was a bit blank, he didn't even glance at the broom before stepping over it and entering.

Three interviewers were already seated in the meeting room.

Sitting in the middle seat was a male HR director in his thirties, wearing black-rimmed glasses, with a somewhat worrying hairline.

Sitting on either side of him were two young female HRs who looked to be in their early twenties.

The moment Lu Ci pushed open the door and walked in, and sat down opposite them.

The two female HR personnel, who had been somewhat listless, suddenly brightened up like light bulbs.

My goodness! Is this person here for an operations manager interview? That face, and those clear eyes that seem to steal your soul…

Wouldn't it be better to just sign them and make them the company's top beauty influencer?!

My mind was screaming: Let him pass! Just let him pass!

Unfortunately, they weren't the ones who made the final decision.

The male HR director clearly didn't have a good impression of Lu Ci's flashy appearance.

He frowned as he flipped through Lu Ci's resume, then glanced at the broom still lying on the ground not far away:

"Mr. Lu, right? You graduated from Jiang University, your academic background is quite good. But when you came in, didn't you see the broom on the floor? You can't even do the most basic thing of being observant and attentive to tasks. How can we trust you with our team?"

Lu Ci raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything.

Seeing that he was intimidated, the male director continued to put on airs and apply pressure: "Looking at your resume, there's a complete gap in your resume for the past four years. You're already 29 years old, and you have no advantage in this industry. However, our company is willing to give you a chance."

He cleared his throat:

"Our company practices a wolf-like culture, emphasizing dedication. Can you accept only one day off per week? Can you accept answering customer calls and handling work immediately after get off work? Considering you're starting with zero experience, our base salary during the probationary period is only 4,000 yuan; the rest will depend on your performance. Can you accept this?"

Lu Ci leaned back in his chair, looking at the director across from him who was spitting as he spoke, and a cold smile crept across his face.

Four thousand dollars? On standby at any time? Are they hiring cattle or horses?

However, Lu Ci suddenly thought about the little over two thousand yuan left in his WeChat account, and also about how he was currently living under someone else's roof, in the apartment rented by Shen Nian, a young girl who had just turned twenty.

If I really walk out so resolutely, am I going to have to rely on my sister-in-law to support me from now on?

That's how the adult world is; even a hero can be brought down by a single penny.

In the face of survival, dignity sometimes seems worthless.

Just as Lu Ci took a deep breath, preparing to swallow his grievances and nod in agreement to take a break,

In his mind, that familiar and extremely exciting mechanical voice of the system rang out.

Main Quest Released: Holiday Work

You're eighteen this year and want to work during your vacation to earn money, but faced with unscrupulous companies, how can a rebellious and passionate young man like you stay subservient and become a slave to these capitalists?!

A true young person dares to overturn all forms of workplace manipulation! You believe that true talent doesn't need to be proven through cheap overtime, and you must bravely say "no" to exploitation!

[Task Requirements: Refuse the interviewer's unreasonable demands on the spot, and before leaving, say in a tone that is three parts mockery, three parts indifference, and four parts nonchalance: "Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, don't underestimate a young man's potential! I won't serve this kind of trash company!"]

[Task Rewards:]

1. Receive a 30-day trial card for the gold-level term "Buffett's Vision".

II. Obtaining start-up capital: one million yuan

"Holy crap! One million!"

Upon hearing this number, Lu Ci inwardly gasped.

The compromises and helplessness that adults had shown were instantly washed away by the stench of money!

"How is it, Mr. Lu? If you think there are no problems..." The male director was still waiting for Lu Ci to lower his head.

"I think there's a big problem."

Lu Ci suddenly chuckled. He supported himself on the conference table with both hands and slowly stood up. Due to the large movement, the chair beneath him made a screeching sound on the floor.

With his hands in his pockets, he perfectly embodied the system's requirement of "three parts sarcasm, three parts indifference, and four parts nonchalance," looking down at the balding director:

"A base salary of four thousand yuan, you want to buy out my life for twenty-four hours? That's not wolf culture, that's animal culture."

Also, that idiotic broom trick outside the door—I suggest you go back to elementary school and relearn how to use your intelligence.

"How...how dare you talk like that!" The male director was so angry that his face turned red, and he slammed his hand on the table.

Lu Ci ignored him completely and turned to walk towards the conference room door.

The moment he opened the door, he stopped, turned his head slightly, and loudly recited that incredibly cringeworthy, melodramatic line:

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; never underestimate a young man's potential! I won't serve this kind of garbage company!"

"Bang!"

The door was slammed shut.

The male manager, his face ashen, was left behind, along with two equally dumbfounded female employees.

She's quite good-looking, but... the way she talks makes it sound like she has some mental issues...

As the conference room door slammed shut, Lu Ci's arrogant face completely crumbled the moment he turned around.

Stepping quickly into the elevator, Lu Ci looked at his reflection in the gleaming elevator doors and felt his cheeks burning uncontrollably.

"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river... This is so damn embarrassing!"

Although the system gave him the confidence to flip the table, these lines were just too cringeworthy... too embarrassing!

Even in online novels, it's the kind of cliché that makes people shake their heads in disbelief.

"This damn system! I've completely lost face for a few rewards," Lu Ci thought to himself.

He couldn't wait to escape the "crime scene" that had caused his social death.
