Chapter 31 Favoritism
In the past five years, the original three major Chinese living areas of the Asian Alliance, Seven, Eight, and Nine, have been integrated. The titles of the Seven, Eight, and Nine major regions and their independent governments have been abolished, and they have been completely merged into one, collectively referred to as the Chinese Major Region.
Since the unification war, the Chinese region has entered a stage of full recovery in the fields of economy, technology, and military affairs. Coupled with the warming climate and stable situation, the momentum of its rise is unstoppable. Against this backdrop, an increasing number of people are flowing overseas to do business.
Longcheng's political environment is unique, and its population is predominantly Chinese. Therefore, for capitalists, ambitious individuals, and those willing to venture out to find opportunities overseas, this is undoubtedly a land of rising, and it is easier to integrate into life here.
In addition, those Chinese who settled here first also have relatives and friends in their hometowns. After they settled down, a wave of family-seeking emerged. Many people who were not doing well in their hometowns, or who wanted to go out to find opportunities, also came to join them. As a result, Longcheng's registered population has surged in recent years, reaching nearly six million, not counting unregistered residents.
The increase in population has brought a lot of economic potential to Longcheng. Therefore, in the past two years, Longcheng has also been expanding outwards, building new districts and engaging in land reclamation projects. In short, the city looks full of hope.
...
The Yu family lives in Longkou District, but Yu Jinrong's eldest son, Yu Mingyuan's company, is located on Maolin Avenue in Zhanan District.
Maolin Avenue is one of the few decent business districts in Zhanan District, because its overall people's livelihood construction and economic level cannot compare with Longkou. People there are used to calling Zhanan District a slum, a place for ruffians.
People's sense of superiority is always inexplicable. They are all from the same city, all of the same race, and they can't escape map cannons. The chain of contempt is everywhere.
At around nine o'clock in the morning, the outdoor weather was fine, and the sun was shining brightly. Su Tianyu took a taxi to the Tianhong Building office building on Maolin Avenue, went up to the thirteenth floor, and found the office area of Yu Mingyuan's company.
The company's name is simple and crude: Mingyuan Trading Co., Ltd.
After Su Tianyu politely explained his intentions to the front desk receptionist, he was led into Yu Mingyuan's office, which was more than forty square meters.
"Oh, you must be Little Su?" Yu Mingyuan was about thirty-five or six years old, less than 1.8 meters tall, of medium build, and not very good-looking, with small eyes and a pointed chin, looking a bit like Liang Tian from *I Love My Family*. However, when a man becomes rich, outsiders will unconsciously add a halo to him, so Yu Mingyuan also looks quite temperamental, with very white skin, wearing black-rimmed glasses, looking gentle and refined.
"Yes, Su Tianyu, hello, President Yu!" Su Tianyu politely extended his palm to the other party.
"When you went to my house that day, I happened to be away on business, otherwise I would have liked to chat with your second uncle, haha!" Yu Mingyuan patted Su Tianyu on the shoulder and greeted him casually, "Come on, sit wherever you like."
"Okay."
The two walked together to the sofa and sat down.
"Come, have some tea." Yu Mingyuan took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for Su Tianyu.
"You're too kind, President Yu!" Su Tianyu replied with a smile.
Yu Mingyuan pushed the teacup to Su Tianyu, looked him up and down, and asked, "I heard my dad say you graduated from military academy."
"Yes, I graduated from the Army Staff College." Su Tianyu's whole state was also very relaxed: "When we were drinking and chatting last time, I also said that my major may not be suitable for your company."
"It's okay, you can learn complex things like troop deployment well, doing some business is not difficult, haha." Yu Mingyuan asked casually, "My dad said you want to take the civil service exam?"
"Yes, I have this plan."
"Little Su, my dad was very happy when you went to my house for dinner last time. He told me that he just entered the management committee and is unfamiliar with the place, and he will have to rely on these old customers of the environmental sanitation subordinate department in the future, and he also likes your second uncle very much." Yu Mingyuan said very talkatively: "With this relationship, you are not an outsider here with me."
"Yes." Su Tianyu nodded in agreement.
"Work hard here with me. The civil service exam will start next year. You can take the exam yourself. If you pass the exam, I will help you find the connections." Yu Mingyuan got straight to the point: "My company has just started operating, and it has been open for less than three months in total. There is nothing to do now. In the future, you will follow me to run business."
Su Tianyu grinned: "A male secretary?"
"Haha, I already have a secretary, a female one. You will be hired as the general manager's assistant for the time being." Yu Mingyuan said softly: "First familiarize yourself with the company environment."
"Okay!" Su Tianyu immediately said sensibly, "Do you want coffee, boss?"
"Haha, you adapt quickly, as expected of a graduate of the Staff College, but you certainly don't need to do the work of pouring tea and water. Here, go through the entry procedures first." Yu Mingyuan raised his head and shouted, "Linda!"
The door opened, and a fair-skinned and beautiful girl, more than 1.7 meters tall, walked in and asked with a smile, "What are your orders, boss?"
"Su Tianyu, the company's general manager assistant, you take him through the entry procedures." Yu Mingyuan ordered.
"Okay, President Su, this way please..." The female secretary immediately made a gesture of invitation.
"Don't call me president, let's be casual, call me Tianyu, Little Su, anything is fine." Su Tianyu got up and extended his hand to the other party.
"Okay, this way please." The female secretary greeted with a smile.
"Then I'll go first, President Yu."
"Go ahead." Yu Mingyuan nodded.
Su Tianyu heard the sound and was about to go out with the female secretary, but after only two steps, Yu Mingyuan suddenly shouted, "Wait a minute, Little Su!"
"What's wrong, boss?"
"Uh, tonight, come out with me for a banquet." Yu Mingyuan thought for a moment and said.
"Okay." Su Tianyu responded.
...
About an hour and a half later, Su Tianyu completed the entry procedures and was assigned to an independent office to the left of the general manager.
This office has more than 20 square meters, with floor-to-ceiling windows and a small independent bathroom. In a company of the same scale, the administrative level is second only to the boss.
To be honest, Su Tianyu is not a thin-skinned person. He didn't plan to start as a low-level clerk when he came to this company, because he felt that it was a waste of time. He might as well stay at home to read and prepare for next year's civil service exam.
In addition, Yu Jinrong's intention to recruit the Su family was very obvious, so Su Tianyu expected before coming that the other party would arrange a relaxed position for him, neither supporting him for nothing nor letting him do too hard work, even if it was just a favor.
But what Su Tianyu never expected was that Yu Mingyuan would arrange a position as general manager assistant for him, because this position is a housekeeper role in a normal company, which is regarded as one of the absolute leaders.
But now Su Tianyu doesn't even know what the company's business is, and the other party has arranged such a position for him, which is a bit too abnormal.
However, what Su Tianyu didn't expect was that Yu Mingyuan's special treatment of him was far from over.
In the next few days, Su Tianyu took the high salary of three thousand per month and did nothing all day long. During the day, he looked at the legs of the female clerks, drank tea, and made up for sleep; at night, he participated in various social engagements with Yu Mingyuan and met many people in the system, as well as bosses engaged in trade.
Yu Mingyuan's circle of friends is particularly mixed. He knows people from customs, police, security associations, and the army, and they all seem to have a good relationship with him.
...
In a flash, half a month passed, and it was October.
Su Tianyu finally couldn't bear it anymore, because Yu Mingyuan was too good to him, too lenient, and it was a bit abnormal.
This day at noon, Su Tianyu grabbed a sales report from the female secretary and forcibly sent it to Yu Mingyuan's office: "Brother Yuan, take a look, this is the sales department's customer expansion table."
"Do you need to send this thing?" Yu Mingyuan was already familiar with Su Tianyu and took the initiative to let him call himself Brother Yuan: "You can just let Linda send it in. You mainly have to conserve your energy."
"I've really conserved it well. I drink tea and eat sea cucumber and abalone every day, and my nose bleeds straight, Brother Yuan!" Su Tianyu said with a smile.
Yu Mingyuan raised his head and smiled, looked at Su Tianyu ambiguously, and replied: "There is an arrangement tonight, an apartment party, I have a few friends from District One, and there are also young ladies who can dance, you come with me."
"...I dance every day, my waist can't take it."
"That's why I told you to conserve your energy. Your main job now is to drink well and dance well." Yu Mingyuan himself is very busy, and he is very concerned about the company's affairs: "Okay, you go back first, I'll call you when it's time to leave."
"Brother Yuan, apart from the working relationship, are we considered friends?" Su Tianyu asked.
"With your IQ, how can you ask such a question? See if anyone in the company dares to call me Brother?" Yu Mingyuan raised his head and replied.
"No, I'm very uneasy about what you're doing! You make me... I once thought we had some blood relationship." Su Tianyu said implicitly: "Tell me the truth, are you...?"
"Dilingling!"
At this moment, the phone on the desk rang, Yu Mingyuan picked it up casually and started talking on the phone in front of Su Tianyu.
About three or four minutes later, Yu Mingyuan hung up the phone, got up and said to Su Tianyu, "I have something to do temporarily, I have to go out. Oh, don't talk nonsense, go back to work quickly, I'll pick you up tonight."
Su Tianyu was a little helpless: "Okay."
"Hehe, you can take a nap in the afternoon, it will be very late tonight." Yu Mingyuan patted Su Tianyu on the shoulder and walked out.
Su Tianyu followed behind, also preparing to return to the office.
"Oh, by the way!" Yu Mingyuan walked to the door and suddenly turned his head: "How far is your place from the company?"
Su Tianyu was stunned for a moment: "I'm near the suburbs, about ten kilometers?"
"Then how do you usually go to work?"
"Take the bus."
"That's too much trouble, and our company goes to work early." Yu Mingyuan returned to the office, opened the drawer and picked out a car key from it: "I got a car back yesterday to offset the debt, an old Ford off-road vehicle, you can drive it."
After speaking, Yu Mingyuan stuffed the key into Su Tianyu's hand.
"Ah?" Su Tianyu held the car key in a daze: "Is... is there a car allocation?"
"Your level is enough, hehe." Yu Mingyuan turned and left.
Su Tianyu is definitely not a stupid person, on the contrary, he is very smart, so he is really a little uneasy, he feels that Yu Mingyuan's eyes on him are a bit wrong.
...
Get off work in the evening.
Su Tianyu sat in the small凉亭 (liáng tíng, gazebo) at home, holding his cheek with his left hand, squinting at Da Bai who came over to drink tea and asked, "If a man is unconditionally good to another man, what do you say he is after?"
"He wants you to take care of him in his old age."
"...Speak human language!"
"Damn it, isn't this human language? Except for your dad, who can be unconditionally good to you?!" Da Bai paused here: "No, it may also be that he has taken a fancy to your..."
"If he has this request, he should say it! If he doesn't say it, I'm very uneasy." Su Tianyu replied shamelessly, stood up and said, "Play this with me? Watch how I make him reveal his dick!"
