Chapter 1441 The Interview
Su Yunxi, however, said, "Chen Xuan, there's an old saying that doctors cannot cure themselves. Even if there's something wrong with your body, you might not know it yourself."
This statement might have been reasonable for an ordinary person, but Chen Xuan was now a cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage. To this day, Chen Xuan didn't know if there were any experts in the entire Xia Country who could match him.
With his current physique, although he couldn't achieve immortality, minor illnesses and ailments that afflicted ordinary humans were already impossible for him.
"Yunxi, don't worry, my body is really fine. How about we wait a little longer?" Chen Xuan didn't make his words too absolute. "If I feel any discomfort again, we'll go to the hospital."
"Alright then."
Su Yunxi also knew better than to refuse and agreed.
"By the way, Chen Xuan, I have something else to tell you."
"What is it?"
"I heard that the Su family in the capital is going bankrupt."
Chen Xuan was stunned and asked in surprise, "How could the Su family in the capital go bankrupt?"
"The Su family in the capital was already heavily indebted. Previously, they relied on banks to maintain their status within the Nine Gates of the Capital. However, now that the Su family is in a commercial war with the Ge family, all of the Su family's problems have been exposed by the Ge family. The banks have stopped lending to the Su family and are even demanding repayment."
"Currently, the Su family in the capital faces the risk of being taken over."
This was also news that Su Yunxi had only received today, and she was very surprised!
Was the former Nine Gates of the Capital truly coming to an end like this?
Chen Xuan also hesitated for a moment before saying, "Yes, they are actually going bankrupt. Yunxi, what do you want to do?"
In fact, Chen Xuan had foreseen this situation. The moment the Su family in the capital refused Su Yunxi's position as the head of the family, the Su family in the capital was destined to decline. It was just that Chen Xuan hadn't expected this day to come so quickly and so suddenly.
From another perspective, this also proved the strength of the Ge family in the capital, worthy of being on par with the three major families in the capital.
"I want to acquire some of their assets. Looking at the Su family's industries in the capital, there are still many excellent ones," Su Yunxi said.
She wasn't overly saintly; she didn't say she wanted to provide some financial support to the Su family in the capital. Instead, she chose to acquire the Su family's assets.
"That's fine, but I'm afraid the Su family in the capital won't agree."
Chen Xuan said.
For the industries of the Su family in the capital to be acquired by a branch that was once expelled would be equivalent to a slap in the face. Would the proud Su family in the capital be willing to do that?
"I don't know," Su Yunxi shook her head.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time," Chen Xuan said resignedly.
The next morning, Chen Xuan ate five cups of soy milk, eight fried dough sticks, three bowls of eight-treasure congee, and a basket of steaming large steamed buns. To everyone's astonishment, he drove away from home.
On the road, Chen Xuan couldn't help but frown, "I feel like I'm eating much more than before? Why is that?"
Chen Xuan had just emerged from his seclusion yesterday. He had thought it was because his body had undergone significant consumption and required energy, which was why he was eating so much. However, it was the second day, and he was still eating so much. Moreover, Chen Xuan felt as if something was draining his energy, which was the reason he was eating so much.
But for the time being, he couldn't figure out the reason. With only a few minutes left until the interview, he didn't have time to think too much.
Soon, Chen Xuan drove to the front of the Huanghai Group building.
The Huanghai Group was located in a prime location in the city center, with people coming and going, very prosperous. There were tall buildings all around. This area could be described as golden real estate, and that was an understatement.
"Brother, are you here for an interview?"
Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder.
Chen Xuan turned around and saw a chubby young man smiling at him.
The chubby young man had a large face and small, beady eyes. When he smiled, those beady eyes almost disappeared.
Chen Xuan found it amusing but didn't laugh out loud.
"How do you know I'm here for an interview?"
He curiously sized up the chubby young man.
"Of course, I know. Doesn't everyone know that Huanghai Group's public relations department is hiring men today?"
"Huanghai Group is said to have Four Beauties, Seven Fairies, and Thirteen Golden Hairpins. All the famous beauties in the capital's business circles are comparable to the ancient Diao Chan and Xi Shi, and they are all in the public relations department of Huanghai Group. Which man wouldn't want to work alongside such great beauties?"
"Even without a salary, they'd be willing to work at Huanghai Group."
The chubby young man's face was full of infatuation, and he was practically drooling.
"Huanghai Group has so many beautiful women?"
Chen Xuan showed a hint of surprise.
Yesterday, he had roughly browsed the information sent by Dong Ming. He only knew that the public relations department had many women, but he didn't know that Huanghai Group was a haven for beauties, and even had so many titles.
"You don't even know this?"
The chubby young man looked contemptuous, then continued, "This is nothing. Although they are beautiful, the most beautiful is the head of the public relations department, Hua Mei. She is pure and ethereal, like a fairy who walked out of a painting. One can only admire her from afar, not play with her!"
Upon hearing the chubby young man's description, Chen Xuan felt as if he had seen such a person recently, but he couldn't recall who it was.
"It seems the department head is very beautiful."
"Extremely beautiful."
The chubby young man glanced at Chen Xuan again. "Kid, I misunderstood you. Since you don't even know this, you must not be here for an interview with the public relations department."
Chen Xuan, however, said, "I'm very sorry, but I am indeed here for an interview with the public relations department."
The chubby young man's eyes lit up. "Comrade!"
His expression was like that of seeing a long-lost brother.
"I'm Zhang Xiaolong at home. I don't know how to address you, brother?"
"My name is Chen Yiming," Chen Xuan used a fake name.
It wasn't that Chen Xuan was being overly cautious, but he already had some reputation in the capital. If he didn't use a fake name, people would find out his identity within three days.
"Brother, let's go, I'll take you in for the interview."
Zhang Xiaolong seemed extremely familiar with the Huanghai Group and led Chen Xuan to the public relations department on the fifth floor very efficiently. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator, Chen Xuan was greatly surprised. He saw a long queue at the public relations department, and even the elevator lobby was crowded.
"What are so many people gathered here for?" Chen Xuan frowned.
Zhang Xiaolong smiled and said, "What else could it be? These men are all here for interviews with the public relations department."
"Wow, so many people!" Chen Xuan was also greatly surprised.
"This is nothing. Last time, even more people participated. It can be said that all the young masters from the wealthy families in the capital came. If Huanghai Group hadn't raised the requirements this time, the number of applicants would probably be even higher," Zhang Xiaolong said.
"Then it will definitely be very difficult to get in this time," Chen Xuan mused, touching his chin.
"It's not difficult, and it's not easy either," Zhang Xiaolong showed a playful expression, along with some confidence.
Chen Xuan took in these expressions.
Could this kid Zhang Xiaolong have a trump card?
Before he could react, a disdainful voice suddenly sounded, "Kid, are you also here for the interview?"
Chen Xuan withdrew his thoughts, looked up, and saw a young man with greasy hair and a powdered face looking at him disdainfully. He couldn't help but frown.
