"Exactly, exactly. Otherwise, why would so many young girls come here looking for jobs, desperate to get in!"
Another person immediately chimed in.
"Heh heh heh, you guys think you can fool me! If you have to fight for a spot, do you still need to find people specifically?"
Bai Suxiang directly punctured their ruse.
She thought she had caught them out, and they would stop their solicitations.
But the two men showed no embarrassment, instead appearing quite calm.
"Hmph! Little sister, don't be so sharp-tongued! The reason we're talking to you is because of your outstanding qualities. You have the looks, you have the figure! Otherwise, we wouldn't even bother."
One of them said coldly.
"That's right, that's right. There aren't many girls with such good qualities as you. If you could join our company, it won't be long before you're our top performer..." the other chimed in.
Seemingly realizing he might have said something amiss, he quickly corrected himself: "I don't mean 'top performer' in the sense of... I mean a senior manager in our company, with an annual salary of over a million."
To be earning a million a year at such a young age, there are few people in the world who can achieve that.
For naive young girls, how could it not be attractive? But this is often the beginning of a trap, and Bai Suxiang understood that perfectly.
She remained silent, lost in thought.
"It's highly possible that Xiaoxiao joined a company like this because of these very words.
The crucial point now is, is there only one company like this in Shamen Town, or are there several?"
Seeing that she didn't immediately refuse, the two men felt hopeful.
In the past, girls were usually convinced in this state of indecision. Su Dan Novel Network
How much attraction could an annual salary of a million have for a young girl? They had seen it many times, and this was their trump card.
If they didn't come for the million-dollar salary, then they genuinely didn't know what else people were after.
"So, what do you say? Want to give it a try? Just fill out a form, and we'll notify you when it's time for the interview!"
One of them said eagerly.
He seemed a bit impatient, as if fearing that Bai Suxiang wouldn't fill out the form and he'd lose out on millions.
The other man, however, was surprisingly calm, not even looking at Bai Suxiang much.
"Hmph!"
Bai Suxiang snorted coldly, shook her head, and turned to leave.
Seeing her about to leave, the first man called out loudly, "Think about it again. If you truly want to join 'Taohuayuan,' come back here tomorrow afternoon. We'll be waiting for you here. In Shamen, there are many companies that do this kind of business, all working for 'Taohuayuan,' but if you want to truly get in, you can only come through me..."
As the voice faded, Bai Suxiang left the riverbank.
She had expected that in such a situation, those people would chase after her and threaten her. But nothing of the sort happened; they seemed polite, merely trying to drum up business.
If the possibility of young girls being deliberately taken away was ruled out, then did most people really come for that million-dollar annual salary?
She had learned about her uncle's family's situation from her mother before leaving: "Dirt poor."
For someone who had had enough of poverty, this was the quickest way to get rich.
But everything has a price, and such an easy job with such high pay, from a legitimate source, was hard to come by.
She walked down the road, head lowered. As she passed an intersection, two girls were standing nearby.
One was wearing a yellow dress, the other a white long T-shirt.
"Sigh, we still haven't found a company that can get us into Taohuayuan. How can we get in?"
The girl in the yellow dress sighed.
"I don't know either. Before we paid, they clearly said they could guarantee entry. How is it that we still can't get in! We've already looked at several places, and none of them are legitimate!"
The girl in the white T-shirt said.
Her attire was very simple: a long T-shirt on top and shorts below. The shorts were usually very short, so short from the outside that it looked like she wasn't wearing any, completely covered.
They were around Bai Suxiang's age, perhaps a little younger.
At such a tender age, if they were deceived, their families would surely suffer the same fate as her uncle's family.
Bai Suxiang suddenly felt an urge to stop them and went to strike up a conversation.
"Misses, are you also looking for a job?"
Upon hearing someone speak, the two girls immediately turned their heads to look at Bai Suxiang, their eyes full of vigilance.
"You... you're not trying to recruit people, are you?"
The girl in the yellow dress said irritably.
She was already in a bad mood, and now another scammer appeared. Who wouldn't be annoyed?
"No, no, I'm not. To be honest, I'm also looking for a job."
Bai Suxiang quickly said.
Women, in their initial interactions, are mostly kind and go with the flow. They hope to use the advantage of being in a group to compensate for individual weaknesses.
Upon hearing that Bai Suxiang was also looking for a job, had she been scammed? How was she scammed...
In many questions, the answers seemed to be hidden.
Thus, after a few words, the three of them became acquainted.
It turned out that the two girls: the one in the yellow dress was named Fang Xiaoxia, and the one in the white T-shirt was Ye Feifei.
They were both looking for jobs, specifically drawn by the million-dollar annual salary at Taohuayuan.
However, all the recruitment advertisements on the street claimed that if one had good qualifications, they could get in directly.
But they had been here for several days, paid all the required fees without fail, and yet the only response they received was "No vacancies, please wait!"
It turned out that most of the recruitment companies on the street were agencies.
Just as those two men had said, there were many companies doing this in Shamen Town, but the final destination was only Taohuayuan.
Fang Xiaoxia and Ye Feifei had been here for almost a month, but they still hadn't found an opportunity to enter Taohuayuan.
They were both disheartened and were considering giving up and going home.
Despite the recruitment advertisements all over the street, most of them involved paying money and waiting for news, only for it to end in nothing.
Yet, even so, young girls seemed bewitched and still flocked here in droves.
As they chatted, the three young women coincidentally walked up to a drink stall.
"Three drinks, what would you like to drink? My treat!"
Bai Suxiang said generously.
If she could successfully dissuade them from jumping into a fire pit, it would be a good deed.
"Really? Thank you, Sister Xiang! Then we won't be polite!"
The two girls exchanged glances and said with beaming smiles.
"Here, what would you like to drink?"
The owner was an old man with some gray hair, appearing to be in his fifties or sixties.
Perhaps due to hard work, his forehead was a bit balding, making his forehead look particularly large.
The owner said, handing them a beverage price list.
