"Thank you for attending Wangyi Group's autumn recruitment. After careful consideration, we regret to inform you that you may not be suitable for the position at this time. Your information will be entered into our talent pool in case..." "Damn it!" Zhang Menglong slammed the mouse onto the desk. This was the twenty-something interview he had attended this fall. This year had not been smooth, with various events occurring since the beginning of the year—viruses, fires, earthquakes, floods—as if even the world was telling you to cherish everything. The impact on the economy made this year's autumn recruitment extremely tough, with even graduates and PhDs struggling to find jobs. Zhang Menglong, a graduate of Materials Science, one of the four least promising majors, had it even worse. He had sent out over a hundred resumes, and this time, he had managed to pass through five rounds of interviews to the final one, only to be replaced by someone with connections, right when the job was almost within his grasp. This was something he found out during the interview from an interviewer who took a liking to him; otherwise, Zhang Menglong might have really thought it was due to his own lack of capabilities. "Brothers, how's the job hunting going?" Zhang Menglong noticed that his roommates also had gloomy expressions. "Don't even mention it. The interviews are fierce like a tiger, but the salary is just twenty-five hundred," Xu Li sighed from the bunk next to him, "My family is thinking about having me study for a graduate degree." "Forget it. In our major, unless we change fields, even with a graduate degree we'd only make six or seven thousand a month. Some have to work shifts too. It's better to face society's harsh realities sooner, maybe there's still a way out." "What about you, boss Sun?" "What else can I do but continue selling houses? It's tough, but it's still better than being uncertain about the next meal." "Ah, if only we all came from better families," Xu Li said. "Hahaha, exactly, the kind where if things don't work out, you just go back and inherit the family fortune," Sun Yulei commented. "Why don't we call home and check? Maybe our parents are actually billionaires behind our backs?" "Maybe your dad's worried you'll go astray; he kept it secret from you as a child!" "Hahaha, right, your dad said he was a fisherman—maybe all those hundreds of islands belong to your family?" "Menglong, don't forget your friends if you come into wealth!" "You guys are getting wilder with this. We might as well say we ride dolphins!" Zhang Menglong shut down his computer and gave one last scathing look at that email, "When I have money, I'll definitely take over Wangyi Group!" ... "Damn, they've been talking about building high-speed rail for five years, and still nothing to show for it!" Zhang Menglong grumbled as he disembarked from the bus, the bumpy several-hour ride having stirred his stomach. "Weird, didn't my dad say he would pick me up today? Why can't I see him anywhere?" Zhang Menglong looked around the parking lot but couldn't find Zhang Xiaoyun. Just then, a car pulled up beside him. "Damn, a Rolls-Royce? We have such rich people in this small broken city?" Zhang Menglong gazed at the luxurious emblem with envy. The driver, dressed in a suit and wearing gloves, which made him look like a chauffeur, got out of the car, opened the door, and an elderly man, who seemed to be in his sixties or seventies, stepped out from the back seat. Zhang Menglong gasped slightly—this distinguished-looking elderly man actually bowed deeply to him and then said, "Young Master Menglong, please get in the car, we have been waiting for you!" "Wait? Young Master Menglong?" Zhang Menglong's head buzzed, "What's going on? Are you here to pick me up?" Just then, Zhang Menglong's phone buzzed. He opened it up, and there was an image from his dad—a meme of a man with a big sword and a cheeky expression with four words: "Unexpected, right?"
