"If you really want a turnaround for your brother’s situation, I can reach out to a relative of mine. Let’s see if there’s anything that can be done."

"Don’t you always say your uncle is erratic and not good at winning people over at the company?"

"But still, he is the only son of the Xiao Family." At this point, Lin Yishan’s tone was visibly displeased and somewhat irritable.

It was clear that Xiao Yebai’s usual attitude towards Lin Yishan wasn’t great either.

"Do you plan to keep playing along with Gu Nuan?"

"I need to figure out what she’s really up to," Su Yixia said, pausing before adding, "By the way, I’m going to work at your fiancé’s company. You must not let slip anything about me."

"Don’t worry, Miss Su." Lin Yishan’s lips curled into a sinister smile.

On the day Su Yixia reported to Changda, the weather was unkind, drizzling a fine rain.

This type of weather was most annoying because everything was damp and moldy.

Like the last time, Gu Nuan took the subway and transferred to the bus to get to the company. On her way, she didn’t run into Qin Sinan, nor Su Yixia, and she hardly encountered anyone she knew.

In the HR department of Changda, Director Cai wasn’t there today. Another person responsible for the induction of new employees received them.

In total, sixteen people were hired.

The number of people recruited this time was relatively large. It is worth noting that these weren’t ordinary contract employees; they were permanent employees with immediate insurance and provident fund benefits, much like formal employees of government agencies.

Gu Nuan completed the forms along with the others, and then they were divided into groups and taken to the departments where the newcomers would be working.

The first department Changda assigned Gu Nuan to wasn’t the Financial Department she had longed for. This was both expected and somewhat surprising to her.

Indeed, it was because she heard that Changda’s Financial Department was just starting and desperately needed people. Having recruited a group of students with relevant finance majors, not placing them in the Financial Department seemed a bit unreasonable.

What the leaders of big companies truly think is certainly worth investigating.

Someone who shared the same thoughts as Gu Nuan was Xu Zhilin, who happened to walk with her.

Xu Zhilin got the job, while Qin Sinan didn’t make it, so he was the only one to join Changda. Although after the fact, Qin Sinan had pleaded with him to give up on Changda and work at another company with her, how could Xu Zhilin agree?

Gu Nuan could tell, this man, like her ex-boyfriend Wa Zicong, was both very conceited and ambitious.

Perhaps Xu Zhilin’s family background was better than hers and Wa Zicong’s, but ultimately, his family’s finances were not rich enough to enter the circle of the wealthy.

Watching as the HR staff member leading them walked towards a secluded area of the office building, Xu Zhilin finally couldn’t contain his anxiety and started complaining to Gu Nuan. Mainly because there was no one else left for him to talk to but her.

Xu Zhilin said, "Look where they are taking us? It’s different from the others, do you know why?"

Gu Nuan did not respond.

An anxious Xu Zhilin continued to vent: "Because, I thought you must have had connections to get in as well, but it turns out you didn’t. You and I, we might be the only ones without any backing here. Did you know that? I saw that woman earlier; I never saw her at the interview. But then it hit me, isn’t she the banker’s daughter who was on the cover of that magazine?"

Gu Nuan could actually imagine the rage that was unbearable in his heart.

No matter how hard one tries, in this society, it is clear that having connections is paramount. He is a renowned talent from University B, a self-made man, and even he has been played by Changda. Perhaps he knew that social operation followed these unwritten rules, but when it finally affected him personally, it was unbelievable.
