Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Hope You All Can Dress More Coolly!
The so-called "The brave may not live long, the cautious do not live at all," his heart must be reluctant to let the Nangong Family leave!
After all, it's easy to leave, but it's hard to come back again!
"I agree to form an alliance with the Yi Family!"
The head of the Nangong Family said loudly, "Now I'll have to trouble Young Master Yi to take Han back to Forty-nine City. As for the problems in Magic Capital, we will solve them slowly later!"
Yi Wenbiao said with a smile, "It seems the ambition of the head of the Nangong Family has not been worn down, which is good! I will take care of little Han and guarantee to bring him back to you unharmed."
After hanging up the phone, Yi Wenbiao shrugged and said, "It looks like there's no need to bother Uncle Cheng."
"Have you really decided? It's not a good choice to offend the Ouyang Family all at once!" Cheng Liguo asked with an even tone, "Or have you already decided to be enemies with the Ouyang Family?"
"No, no, no! The Ouyang Family is a massive entity, we wouldn't dare to offend them." Yi Wenbiao said, "That's settled, then. I need to take little Han home overnight, please make yourself at home."
Having said that, Yi Wenbiao, leading a distraught Nangong Han, left the restaurant.
Cheng Liguo sat in his chair, pondering why the Yi Family wanted to enter the game.
Over an hour later, he slapped his face, deciding to report the incident to Ouyang Rong first, letting the Ouyang Family deal with the troublesome matter, as he was just a secretary.
Ouyang Rong, who had originally gone to sleep, came to the study after hearing the news of the Yi Family's interference and stayed up all night.
The next day, Song Yun learned that Cheng Liguo had already left Magic Capital, feeling somewhat regretful for not having had a good conversation with this wise middle-aged man.
Forty-nine City, Ouyang Family.
Ouyang Shu's breakfast consisted of a plate of pickled vegetables, a piece of steamed bun, and a bowl of millet porridge.
It was so modest it couldn't even compare with an average family outside.
"Father, there's major trouble!"
"Don't be rash, as long as your father isn't dead, the Ouyang Family's sky won't fall!"
Ouyang Shu put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth with a towel, asking indifferently, "Out with it, what's the trouble now?"
"The Yi Family has entered the game, forming an alliance with the Nangong Family!"
"Wow! Impressive!" Ouyang Shu said with a chuckle, "Foolish boy, isn't this a good thing for us?"
"How so?"
"Think about it, the Yi Family has no connection with Song Yun whatsoever, so why would they suddenly help the Nangong Family?" Ouyang Shu the elder drew on his tobacco pipe and said, "And think about after Song Yun's identity was revealed, who would want to crush him the most?"
"Are you talking about the ones who drove Song Bu away?"
Ouyang Rong said in shock, "It's unlikely to be the Yi Family! Back then, their clan wasn't powerful enough to scare Song Bu!"
"Who said it's just the Yi Family." Ouyang Shu tapped his tobacco pipe and said in a deep voice, "The Yi Family is merely a conspicuous pawn, but for a family ranked in the top ten to stand up and be the shield, there must be an even more terrifying power behind them!"
"Hiss!"
Ouyang Rong gasped, "Then isn't Song Yun in great danger now?"
"As long as your father is alive, no one can threaten his personal safety; at most, he'll be oppressed," Ouyang Shu said nonchalantly, "We need to check those who have good relations with the Yi Family, and we'll investigate them one by one. I refuse to believe we can't catch a viper lurking in the shadows!"
Song Yun, completely unaware of these events, simply sensed that the Nangong Family had vanished from Magic Capital, seemingly bowing out completely.
This was a good thing; he could now fully absorb the remaining enterprises of the Nangong Family.
Meanwhile, Yuan Siyi entered her senior year of university, which would include a period of internship.
Many of her friends had already started crafting their resumes, submitting them daily to big companies.
Yuan Siyi, however, felt indifferent about graduation. Her idea was to open a flower shop in the bustling city after graduation, attending to flowers and plants every day.
But her friends were all anxious about job hunting, continuously attending campus recruitment fairs with no leisure time to speak of.
Today, Yuan Siyi's roommate had her resume rejected by four companies and could only drag Yuan Siyi to another campus recruitment fair.
As they were browsing, a hand stopped them.
"Ladies, I see you're both quite promising, are you interested in joining our company?"
The speaker was a sunshine-bright young man whose smiling face caught the attention of many girls.
"What company are you from?"
Yuan Siyi's roommate curiously asked, looking at his resume.
"Our company primarily manages models and produces character cosplay photos. Our starting salary is 10k, and with commissions, you could make about 40-70k a month. Would you two consider it?"
"40-70k? Are you serious?"
"Oh my, a base salary of 10k, your company must be loaded!"
"Handsome, can I go take a look?"
The surrounding girls crowded forward, eagerly asking.
Yuan Siyi was squeezed out of the crowd, shaking her head at her fellow students whose eyes shone with excitement. Fresh graduates, especially here in Magic Capital, how could they possibly receive such high salaries the moment they leave school? There must be something fishy!
"Quiet down, everyone. I see you all have good potential to succeed in joining our company. Come on, leave your contact information, and our HR will contact you later for your resumes," the guy told the girls as he handed out application forms.
After they had finished filling them out, the guy said to them, "If you pass our initial screening and come in for an internal interview, you might want to dress a bit more revealing. It highlights your figure, and since our main business is photography, a sexy outfit can be an advantage."
On the way back, Yuan Siyi overheard those girls who had interviewed earlier busily discussing what clothes to wear.
After all, this was the first job they'd encountered that offered such a high salary! If they could get the job and work for a few years, they might save enough for a down payment on a property in Magic Capital. Wouldn't that mean they'd be setting up home in Magic Capital?
The more they thought about it, the more excited they became, almost wishing they could receive an interview call from HR right now and start working immediately.
But Yuan Siyu felt no affection for that company at all. She knew all too well that just taking pictures couldn't possibly justify such high pay. Could the company's management be fools? There must be some behind-the-scenes secrets that they didn't know about.
Yuan Siyi's roommate nudged her with a shoulder and asked with a smile, "Si Yi, what are you planning to wear for the interview?"
"I'm not planning on going," Yuan Siyi shook her head and said, "And I wouldn't recommend you go either. The waters are too deep here, and we're novices in society, easily trapped by others."
"Yeah, our very own Yuan the campus beauty has a rich boyfriend who even bought her a car worth hundreds of thousands. Why would she need to work?"
A girl in front sarcastically said.
This girl and Yuan Siyi were from the same club, and Yuan Siyi's beauty had long overshadowed her, making her feel invisible in the club.
She felt extremely resentful about it.
And just now, during the recruitment, even though that guy was explaining things to everyone, his eyes were fixed on Yuan Siyi, who was outside the crowd, which made her, who thought highly of herself, feel utterly humiliated.
This was why, upon hearing Yuan Siyi mention she wouldn't interview, she couldn't help but vent her anger.
