Mortal Kombat: Scumbag Men Stealing Away Yandere Girls

Chapter 42 The Bai Family's World-Famous Paintings

There's a saying that goes, "As long as you don't fight internally, it's others who will be driven crazy by external conflicts."

This senior, Song Zhen, is definitely one of the best.

Song Zhen was the student council president for the two terms before Bai Weiran. Even after stepping down, she often returned to the student council to hang out and maintained good relationships with everyone.

Song Zhen was lively and beautiful, and many men pursued her.

A junior student fell in love with Song Zhen, but Song Zhen rejected him. The junior student continued to pursue her.

Bai Weiran was also overwhelmed with student council affairs at that time.

The evil student council president, vice president, and secretary.

Instead of focusing on their careers, the three of them are all busy with their romances. Their relationships are a complete mess, and they have no interest in their work, forcing other student council members to share their workload.

As his senior, Song Zhen was very helpful in guiding him, giving him a lot of her own experience and assistance.

Because they were always together during this period, the junior who was pursuing Song Zhen misunderstood them.

The junior student ran up to Bai Weiran and told him to leave Song Zhen, claiming that his family had some connections.

Bai Weiran thought for a moment, then turned to Song Zhen and said, "Thank you, senior. Let's not see each other as much in the future."

It's really convenient.

He didn't want to get involved in other people's love and hate entanglements; he wasn't that heroic.

As a result, Song Zhen learned the whole story.

She rolled up her sleeves and ran over to beat up the younger student.

While beating him, she also cursed the junior student for ruining her life's plans.

Someone as capable as Junior Bai is bound to have a successful career; don't ruin my network building.

[You're trying to ruin my life plans! I don't care about your so-called "path" or anything, I'm not letting you get away with this!!!]

Bai Weiran suddenly realized.

All those "friendly senior sisters" are lies.

Song Zhen was entirely acting in her own self-interest.

I admire his abilities and character, and I think this investment is worthwhile.

Song Zhen is definitely career-oriented and has absolutely no romantic mindset.

Anyone who tries to ruin her life plans and investments will face her back with a vengeance!

Although I know where I stand in her heart, I feel inexplicably complicated.

The junior student was heartbroken and his dream was shattered. His goddess had collapsed, and he had nowhere to confide in, so he actually came to find Bai Weiran.

Bai Weiran: …………?

He got involved in this love triangle in a strange way.

Because he was so patient, he could answer a call from a heartbroken junior at 3 a.m. without getting angry. After that incident, he and the junior became friends.

As for finding out that the other party's family actually had a certain background, that's another story.

Bai Weiran returned to her workstation while thinking.

He unexpectedly saw a huge group of people, led by Guoguo and Achao, followed by a group of male group members. They all changed their style, making JOJO faces and looking at him with their arms crossed.

It was like a joint trial by three parties.

Bai Weiran: …………?

Xx

"...Just give me one, um, this five-person set meal."

Song Zhen closed the menu and was about to hand it to the waiter when Bai Weiran reminded her.

"...Senior, it's just the two of us."

Song Zhen exclaimed "Oh!" and took the menu back from the waiter's hand.

"Forget about you, what would you like to order?"

"…………It's okay, I don't need to order anything, that's enough."

He remembered that Song Zhen had a big appetite, but he didn't expect that she would still have such a big appetite after so many years.

Bai Weiran and Song Zhen arranged to meet at a nearby Cantonese restaurant for lunch, and they booked a private room.

Song Zhen is a typical person who works hard to earn money and enjoys life.

If you want to eat with her, forget about convenience stores or local snack shops.

What's the point of money if it doesn't make me feel comfortable?

Seeing Song Zhen washing the dishes with tea, he took over the task and chatted with her at the same time.

Even when not at the company, Song Zhen didn't put on any cult-like airs. She shrugged and told the truth.

"I came here to launder my wages."

This is a very common practice in this industry.

The speed of promotion and salary increases within the same company is always the slowest.

Changing jobs is a quick and effective way to get a raise.

Job hopping is tiered; employees from large companies will offer higher premiums when they move to small or medium-sized companies.

If a company doesn't have a prominent reputation, it needs to offer higher prices to attract talent from larger companies.

Talented individuals from large companies use this method of switching to small and medium-sized companies to significantly increase their salaries.

But of course, there are risks involved in doing this.

A springboard is a springboard if used well, but a sandpit if used poorly.

It's easy to jump from a large company to a smaller one, but it's not easy to jump back to a large company.

Salaries are rising, but you still need to strive for higher positions, because the higher you go, the less pie you get.

Unless you are very confident in your career plans and abilities, you shouldn't do this lightly.

Small and medium-sized companies have a much smaller scope of business and fewer connections than large companies, and their resumes are less impressive.

This is why many people who are lucky enough to get into big companies would rather stay there than leave.

But these theories are just theories; truly capable people remain unconstrained.

Song Zhen was one of those people who were not bound by theory.

"I've seen you've been working at this company for a while now, junior. What are your plans?"

Bai Weiran was not surprised. He steadily picked up a piece of braised pork intestine and placed it in his bowl, keeping his eyes down and his expression calm and composed.

"There are no other plans at the moment, and I feel everything is fine."

Song Zhen frowned at him. "Junior, you used to be quite clever, how come you've become so stupid?"

"In the company, you're leading a project and competing with others, and now your user acquisition results are worse than theirs. Have you thought about the next step?"

"If one project fails, we can just start a new one," Bai Weiran replied casually.

"There are plenty of cases of projects failing and people concocting poison within the company. One more or one less won't make a difference."

Song Zhen looked at him with disappointment and frustration.

"Is this a company matter? Wrong!! What happens to the company doesn't matter; the important thing is your own career plan!!"

"Now is a good time for you to switch jobs."

Bai Weiran found the situation both funny and absurd.

Have you ever seen this? HR trying to persuade company employees to switch jobs.

But Song Zhen is actually capable of doing such a thing.

Bai Weiran understood the senior's thoughts.

She would encourage or strongly urge anyone she considered capable to go to a better place.

The reasons are also clear.

She believed that only when the people around her were doing well and had risen in rank could they help her in every way in the future.

Therefore, when she sees someone who can strive for a higher position, she will actively give them a push.

She utterly despised and found it foolish to always try to put others down.

This senior student is quite interesting; all her logic serves her own interests, yet it benefits many others.

Unlike myself, who doesn't like socializing, she's a total social butterfly.

Song Zhen was still trying to persuade him.

"The most important thing in life is to live for yourself. Now that you have this experience and this title, instead of waiting indefinitely for this company to launch a project, if you have a new plan, why not take it to a bigger company, get promoted and a raise, become the CEO, and marry a beautiful and wealthy woman?"

Song Zhen kept persuading Bai Weiran, and Bai Weiran listened until the last dish was served.

"Senior."

Song Zhen thought she had persuaded him, and asked expectantly, "How did it go?"

"Eat quickly, the food is getting cold."

Song Zhen knew he was changing the subject, and just looked at him with disappointment.

Bai Weiran could tell what Song Zhen was thinking at a glance, and shrugged, somewhat helplessly.

“I know that what you said is sincere, and you are making the best career considerations for me.”

Song Zhen is not the kind of person who kills without burying the dead, or who only speaks her mind.

While giving him advice, she would also recommend many people to him, all of whom were senior leaders within the business unit.

"But I have other personal plans right now, so I'm not considering these things for the time being."
