King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

Chapter 3 Interview

"Hmph! That's utter bullshit!"

I scoffed, "She's such a big female boss, what kind of care and warmth could I, a poor nobody, possibly offer her?"

"Acheng...don't be stubborn!"

Lin Lan shook my arm in a pleading manner: "Just think of it as doing this for the sake of the child..."

She had barely finished speaking when her phone rang.

The screen displayed "Xu Shaokun".

Lin Lan looked terrified, her hands trembling as she quickly picked up her phone.

"Acheng...don't speak!"

Lin Lan glanced at me nervously and pleadingly before answering the phone: "Feed?"

"Where the hell have you been?"

Xu Shaokun's drunken cursing came through the phone.

"Honey! I...I'm on my way home, almost there."

"You gave birth to this good-for-nothing! She smashed my Yuan blue-and-white porcelain! Damn it! How did you discipline her? Are you a pig?"

"Honey! Honey! I'm almost home! It's all my fault! I didn't discipline Duoduo well!"

"Hold!"

"Honey, honey, don't hit the child! I'm coming home right away! Hit me instead, don't hit her..."

......

The sound of my child crying as he was being beaten came through the phone, and it sent a chill down my spine!

Lin Lan got out of bed while crying... After hanging up the phone, she hurriedly dressed like a headless fly.

This scene inexplicably reminded me of those lowly sex workers in documentaries... They had just finished one job when they were immediately urged to take on the next one.

Is this still my first love, whom I've cherished for four years?

I hate her as much as I hate her, but at this moment... a sense of melancholy and bitterness also welled up in my heart.

"Acheng!"

After quickly getting dressed, Lin Lan knelt down before me, her face streaked with tears: "Save us! Help us escape this misery!"

"Alright! Go ahead!"

Frustrated, I pulled out another cigarette and lit it: "Drive carefully, be safe!"

"Okay! Come to Hengdai Real Estate tomorrow morning, and call me when you arrive!"

"OK."

......

After Lin Lan left, I was unable to calm down for a long time!

I may feel sorry for this woman, but I've had enough!

But the child's cries of pain after being beaten still tugged at my heartstrings.

If this were really my daughter, I'd be heartbroken.

......

The next morning, I first wired money home, then went to the paternity testing center affiliated with Jiangcheng Medical University to submit my and Duoduo's biological materials before going to Hengdai Real Estate.

When we arrived at their headquarters, Hengdai International Building, it was almost noon.

I called Lin Lan, but she hung up on me. Then she sent me a text message saying that the HR girl would be coming down soon, that she had already made arrangements, and that she couldn't answer the phone right now.

A short while later, a young woman in a business suit and black stockings ran out of the elevator and found me with a smile.

After a brief conversation and confirmation of my identity, she took me directly to the 11th floor.

Strangely, she didn't take me to complete the onboarding process, but instead led me directly to the president's office.

"Mr. Song, please wait a moment..."

The girl smiled and said, "President Xu wants to interview you personally! She's in a meeting in the city this morning, but she should be back soon."

"Oh, oh, oh..." I swallowed nervously.

"Please wait a moment."

After saying that, the girl poured me a glass of water and left, leaving me feeling uneasy.

I sat obediently on the long sofa, nervously rubbing my fingers, silently waiting...

That makes sense. Since the job is for a male assistant, the boss definitely needs to take a look at it personally!

Looking around the office with its various high-end, luxurious facilities and decorations, I feel like life is a joke, you can never guess what will happen next!

Just a day ago, I was hoping to find a job to make a living in this stinky pigsty.

Today, however, I will decide the second half of my life right here...

The four large characters "厚德载物" (Hou De Zai Wu, meaning "Great virtue carries all things") hung on the wall behind the boss's chair, which made me have very negative suspicions about Xu Meijuan: People online say that bosses who hang these characters are usually particularly unethical! Maybe she's like her brother...

But it doesn't matter if I fail the interview; it'll be even better! It'll shut Lin Lan up!

They said they'd be right back, but I waited for half an hour and still no sign of them... I guess they're having lunch out.

I didn't stand on ceremony and just used the restroom in the inner office to pee.

This office consists of two rooms: an outer room for work and an inner room for rest.

Just as I was about to pull up my pants, the door to the outer office opened.

My head instantly went blank... Holy crap! She's back?

Women generally hate it when other people use their private bathroom!

Damn it, why didn't you come back earlier or later? I just wanted to use your toilet and you came back!

However, something felt off about the noise!

The voices of a man and a woman talking could be heard from outside...

"Mr. Xu, please...please don't do this! I'm your teacher, you can't treat me like this!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! Don't give me that! They say thirty is like a wolf, forty is like a tiger! Teacher Sun, I don't believe you don't want to..."

"don't want!"

......

I hid in the bathroom and listened, my heart pounding wildly!

Damn! This "President Xu" is a man, and a young man at that... Then this must be Xu Shaokun!

Could it be that Lin Lan assigned me to Xu Shaokun's place?

That shouldn't be the case. Shouldn't she have told me beforehand?

And this woman's voice... why does it sound so familiar? I feel like I've heard it somewhere before, but I just can't remember where.

"Xiao Xu! If you keep doing that, I'm going to yell!"

"Go ahead and shout! This is my house, I'm not afraid of losing face!"

"Let me go!"

"Snapped!"

A resounding slap! The woman cried out "Ah!" as she was hit.

"You bitch, don't push your luck! Don't forget, I still have those photos of you!"

“Wuwu!”

"Take it off!"

......

The woman was sobbing, and I couldn't hear her clearly through the two doors... But from the faint sounds, I could tell that Xu Shaokun had succeeded. The long sofa I had been sitting on was now creaking.

I swallowed hard, trying to figure out how to escape...

Less than a minute later, I heard the sound of a key turning in the door outside the office, but it seemed like it wouldn't open no matter how hard it tried.

"Bang bang bang!"

"Who's inside? Why is the door locked from the inside?"

A woman's voice came from inside.

My heart jumped into my throat. This must be Xu Meijuan, right? Oh my god!

"Quick, quick, hide in the toilet..."

I heard Xu Shaokun booing.

"My clothes..."

"Fuck you, kick it under the sofa first!"

.....

Immediately following was the sound of a woman's bare feet stepping on the ground.

"Big sister! Wait a minute! I'm taking a dump!" Xu Shaokun shouted.

"You came to poop in my office? Open the door!"
