Chapter 121: Zhongxin Construction Group

Wang Zhenggang quickly said, “Mr. Ye, it’s peak time now, and it might be hard to get a taxi. If you don’t mind, I can give you a ride.”

Although Xiao Churan found Wang Zhenggang’s arrival a bit strange, she felt embarrassed and replied, “That would be too much trouble for you, Mr. Wang.”

“Not at all, it’s no trouble at all,” Wang Zhenggang hurriedly got out of the car and opened the door for the two of them, feeling extremely happy inside.

On the way, Wang Zhenggang didn’t dare to mention that he was also going to the Zhongxin Construction Group, fearing that Xiao Churan would notice something unusual. Instead, he curiously asked, “By the way, Master Ye, where are you and Ms. Xiao headed?”

Ye Chen knew he was pretending to be clueless, so he smiled and said, “My wife has an interview at Zhongxin Construction Group for a designer position, and I’m accompanying her.”

“Zhongxin Group!” Wang Zhenggang nodded and smiled, “What a coincidence! Zhongxin Group happens to be a subsidiary of our Wang family, mainly responsible for our real estate business. I wonder if Ms. Xiao is interested in the position of design director. If you are, I can mention it to their chairman, and you can start working anytime, with a salary starting at ten million a year.”

Xiao Churan was taken aback and quickly waved her hand, saying, “No need, Mr. Wang. My work experience and qualifications are far from meeting the requirements for a design director. Besides, I’m going to Zhongxin for the interview to earn a job offer based on my own abilities, not to rely on connections or backdoor deals.”

Hearing this, Ye Chen immediately said to Wang Zhenggang, “Mr. Wang, you heard her. My wife wants to rely on her own strength, so please don’t help her out.”

Wang Zhenggang knew Ye Chen was also acting, so he quickly replied, “No problem, absolutely no problem. I particularly admire Ms. Xiao’s self-reliant character, and I believe that with her abilities and experience, securing a position at Zhongxin Construction Group will be a piece of cake!”

As the car approached Zhongxin Construction Group, Xiao Churan quickly said, “Mr. Wang, your car should be recognized by the people at Zhongxin Construction Group. To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, let’s get out here.”

Wang Zhenggang naturally didn’t dare to say anything further, so he quickly replied, “Alright, Ms. Xiao.”

After saying that, he instructed his driver to stop the car a few hundred meters away from the group’s entrance.

Ye Chen and Xiao Churan thanked him and walked towards Zhongxin Construction Group, while Wang Zhenggang took out his phone and called the person in charge of Zhongxin Construction Group.

As soon as the call connected, the other side responded enthusiastically, “Mr. Wang, what instructions do you have for me?”

Wang Zhenggang said, “A Ms. Xiao will be coming to your company for an interview shortly. Please give her a heads-up and make sure she passes smoothly!”

The other party hurriedly replied, “Oh, Mr. Wang, who is this Ms. Xiao to you that requires your personal call to arrange things?”

Wang Zhenggang coldly replied, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. Just arrange it quickly!”

“Understood, Mr. Wang!” The person didn’t dare to say more and immediately said, “I’m currently inspecting a project, but I’ll call to arrange for the HR director right away!”

At that moment, multiple departments at Zhongxin Construction Group were conducting a new round of recruitment.

In one office, Ye Chen’s classmate Li Zixiang was lazily lounging on the sofa, while the alluringly dressed Tang Juan was peeling an orange for him, feeding him one segment at a time.

Behind the sofa, another classmate, Liu Jianhua, was diligently massaging Li Zixiang’s shoulders.

While massaging, Liu Jianhua angrily said, “Xiang Ge, you missed the gathering yesterday. That bastard Ye Chen was showing off again. I can’t believe he, a live-in son-in-law with no job, thinks he’s better than everyone else. I wanted to give him a clear path, suggesting he come help you out, but he looked down on it and even insulted you openly and covertly.”

Tang Juan stuffed another orange segment into Li Zixiang’s mouth, deliberately pushing her finger into his mouth as well, then teasingly pulled it out, saying, “Exactly, Xiang Ge. That loser Ye Chen is so full of himself. It’s bad enough he has no money or skills, but he still likes to show off at class reunions, and he does it so forcefully. It’s really disgusting!”

Taking advantage of Tang Juan feeding him another orange, Li Zixiang playfully nibbled on her finger and smiled, “Juan’er, I remember you hated him back in school. Hasn’t he changed at all?”

“He hasn’t changed a bit,” Tang Juan replied angrily. “He’s still that same pathetic loser, probably thinking that being the live-in son-in-law of the Xiao family makes him better than others.”

Li Zixiang laughed, “He’s not living the high life with that soft rice. You might not know, but I’m in the construction industry, and I’m well aware of the Xiao family’s situation. They’re already on the decline and will probably go bankrupt soon.”

“Really?!” Tang Juan became excited upon hearing this and said, “That’s great! I can’t stand Xiao Churan either; she’s so pretentious. If their family goes bankrupt, it would truly be poetic justice.”

Li Zixiang nodded and said, “Don’t worry, the Xiao family won’t last long before going bankrupt.”

Liu Jianhua quickly said, “By the way, Xiang Ge, I noticed that Zhongxin Group is hiring for many positions lately. Can you help arrange for me and Juan’er to join? We want to work with you.”

Li Zixiang smiled, “That’s not a problem at all! You two just need to prepare your resumes, and I’ll get you an internal referral. Then you can come in for a formal interview and start working!”

“That’s fantastic!” The two were thrilled and repeatedly thanked him.

Li Zixiang wasted no time and directly picked up his phone, making a call, saying, “Send me the list of positions we’re currently hiring for, and also the recruitment status for each position.”

Soon, the other party sent him a document.

As Li Zixiang opened the file on his phone, he said, “I’ll get all the job requirements and recruitment progress. You two can see which position you want to apply for, but I must remind you, don’t aim too high. When you come to Zhongxin Group, start from the grassroots level; don’t expect to be placed in a management position right away.”

The two quickly nodded, knowing they couldn’t be too ambitious. Zhongxin Group offered good benefits, and having a basic position would already be quite good.

Tang Juan took Li Zixiang’s phone and said, “I think I could do well as a designer. Let me check the recruitment status for designers here.”

As she spoke, she opened the recruitment plan and progress for the designer position.

In this round of new hires at Zhongxin Group, they planned to recruit eight designers, and five had already been confirmed, leaving three spots open.

Seeing that there were still three positions available, she sighed in relief and said, “Xiang Ge, I want this position!”

Suddenly, she noticed a familiar name in the interview notes for that position!

Xiao Churan!

She exclaimed, “Oh my! Xiao Churan is actually coming to Zhongxin for an interview as a designer?!”
