The visitor was none other than Qinglong.
"Young Master, we have identified some relevant personnel. Their information has been sent to your email!"
Chu Fan grunted in response.
"Investigate further into my aunt's situation over these past few years."
Before arriving, upon learning that his aunt had married into a wealthy family, he had assumed she was living a good life.
A visit to the Nan family ancestral hall made Chu Fan realize he had oversimplified things.
His aunt, as a daughter-in-law of the Nan family, had no chair in the ancestral hall. This indicated that his aunt had likely been bullied by the Nan family over the years.
Now that he was back, it was time to settle the score.
Qinglong bowed to receive the order and left through the window.
The next morning.
Nan Baixuan woke up early and meticulously dressed herself. After practicing possible interview questions in her mind, she ate breakfast and headed to the highest building in Shanhai City, the Shanhai Tower.
Outside Shanhai Tower, a massive crowd had gathered, making it impassable.
As she alighted from the car, the wave of heat and noise washed over her.
"Xuanxuan, there are so many people! The competition is so fierce. I wonder if we can break through."
Nan Baixuan's best friend, Zhao Jiayu, gripped her documents so tightly that her knuckles turned white with nervousness.
"I'm nervous too!"
Nan Baixuan scanned her surroundings, encouraging herself, "Jiayu, let's go! We can definitely do it!"
Zhao Jiayu nodded vigorously. Together with Nan Baixuan, they struggled through the crowd to queue for the positions they were applying for.
Looking at the people ahead in the queue, Nan Baixuan and Zhao Jiayu remained silent, but the pressure in their hearts intensified.
Power-wielding families placed importance on appearances.
The Qinglong Consortium's powerful entry into the Dragon God Kingdom began with Shanhai City as its starting point.
Families throughout the Dragon God Kingdom considered it a display of their strength and heritage if their younger generation could join the Qinglong Consortium.
Therefore, the applicants present were all elites among elites.
At a glance, one could see many young entrepreneurs and influential figures who had already gained national recognition.
Some of the young scions of prominent families were complaining about the slow pace of the interviews.
The Qinglong Consortium's recruitment process was impervious to connections.
Any family that dared to attempt such a move would permanently lose any opportunity for cooperation with the Qinglong Consortium and all its industries.
Thus, even the wealthiest and most powerful families did not dare to casually use their connections to interfere with the recruitment process.
Entry was based solely on merit.
Nan Baixuan and Zhao Jiayu, who had felt superior before arriving, now saw the young entrepreneurs and influential figures who had already experienced the rigors of the workplace. They clearly understood the gap between them, and their confidence was further diminished.
Realizing that if they continued to be this anxious, they would collapse under the pressure before even reaching the interview stage.
Zhao Jiayu suddenly remembered Nan Baixuan's complaints from last night and asked curiously, "Xuanxuan, is your crazy cousin really as arrogant as you say?"
To divert her attention and alleviate her stress.
Mentioning Chu Fan ignited Nan Baixuan's anger.
"Jiayu, what I told you last night was an understatement. You didn't see him with your own eyes; he acts like he's the king of heaven, as if everything is decided by him!"
"In my twenty years of life, Nan Baixuan has never met anyone so thick-skinned."
"He's completely useless!"
"It's good that I don't get this interview, it's a perfect opportunity to get rid of him."
"Seeing him makes me lose my appetite for breakfast!"
Just as Nan Baixuan was enjoying her rant, a voice she detested most suddenly sounded.
"Lose your appetite? I remember you eating quite heartily?"
Turning around, Nan Baixuan's scalp tingled upon seeing Chu Fan.
"You lunatic, why are you like a ghost, always haunting me? I see you everywhere."
Nan Baixuan's disdain for him was unconcealed.
With her mother present, she had to restrain herself somewhat to consider her mother's feelings.
Zhao Jiayu, influenced by Nan Baixuan's complaints, had a very unfavorable impression of Chu Fan and also looked at him unpleasantly.
Chu Fan looked up at Shanhai Tower. "What do you mean I'm haunting you? Is this place your home? Only you can come, and I can't?"
Nan Baixuan was speechless.
However, unwilling to concede, she gritted her teeth and reprimanded, "Confess, are you following me?"
Chu Fan shook his head in boredom. "What about you is worth following?"
"Then why are you here?"
"This tower is my company. I'm here to check on my company, is that not allowed?"
With those words, Chu Fan walked straight through the crowd towards the front.
Nan Baixuan and Zhao Jiayu were stunned.
At that moment, Zhao Jiayu truly understood how thick-skinned Chu Fan was and how shameless he could be.
Shanhai Tower had long been purchased by the Qinglong Consortium.
Only someone as brazenly shameless as him would dare to claim Shanhai Tower as his company.
"He's too arrogant! Xuanxuan, as your friend, I pity you for having to live under the same roof as someone like this!"
On the top floor of Shanhai Tower.
Chu Fan entered with Qinglong by his side.
In the office, the key executives of Qinglong Group in the Dragon God Kingdom stood respectfully.
"Chairman, this..."
As one of them was about to report the situation, Chu Fan raised his hand to stop him.
"I brought you here to manage the company's affairs. You handle them as you see fit, there's no need to report to me!"
"Alright, you may leave now!"
Chu Fan was not very interested in the affairs of the Qinglong Consortium and was too lazy to say much more to these executives.
"Oh, right. Among the applicants, there's one named Nan Baixuan. Hire her directly, no interview or review needed!"
The executives nodded like pecking chickens.
Hiring her directly was not because Chu Fan was worried about Nan Baixuan driving him out, but because he knew how much his aunt hoped her daughter would be successfully hired.
His aunt did not live a happy life in the Nan family, and he wanted to see more smiles on her face.
Downstairs.
Nan Baixuan was complaining about Chu Fan to Zhao Jiayu when a commotion suddenly arose from the front of the queue.
A woman with a good figure, wearing a specially customized uniform of the Qinglong Consortium, walked with her work log, looking at photos and searching for someone amidst the envious gazes of many applicants.
Upon spotting Nan Baixuan, she walked directly towards her.
"Hello, Miss Nan, I am the HR manager of the Qinglong Consortium."
"After our comprehensive review, your qualifications extremely meet our recruitment requirements. You are hereby hired directly."
What?
Hired directly, bypassing the interview stage?
Everyone present widened their eyes, unable to believe such a thing could happen.
Nan Baixuan was also stunned on the spot, unable to imagine such good fortune falling upon her.
"Xuanxuan, that's wonderful! You've finally been admitted to the Qinglong Consortium as you wished!"
Zhao Jiayu, recovering first, was overjoyed at Nan Baixuan's hiring.
"Jiayu, pinch me to see if I'm dreaming!"
The sharp pain made her exclaim with joy.
Seeing that Zhao Jiayu seemed to have a good relationship with Nan Baixuan, the HR manager remembered the instructions from above and immediately invited her.
On the way, she asked some relevant questions. Upon entering the office, she said, "Miss Zhao, after my understanding just now, you also meet our requirements quite well. You have also been hired!"
This good?
Zhao Jiayu was stunned for a moment before embracing Nan Baixuan joyfully.
The positions they were both interested in had exactly two openings.
The HR manager immediately instructed a subordinate to inform those queuing outside for the same position that they could leave.
Upon hearing this news, the scene erupted in chaos.
"Protest! The Qinglong Consortium has favoritism!"
"Unfair! Why are others hired directly!"
...
"Protest denied!"
"Our rules are our rules."
