Chapter 689: Chapter 294: So Many Eccentrics_2

But Su Huai planned to set off fireworks in the downtown area and calculated that he’d likely receive the maximum penalty.

He wasn’t afraid of being criticized and educated, but that would just be too much of a hassle.

What if Gu decided to make things worse and locked him up for a full 20 days? How sourly delightful would that be?

The manager’s idea from last time was, "I’ll get someone to do it. Just light the fuse and be ready for the aftermath. Keep out of it—that’s the only way."

After going around in circles, Su Huai still decided to solve it by throwing money at the problem.

Losing money was worth it if it meant his happiness couldn’t be bought.

However, he didn’t lose his caution and reminded, "Make sure you coordinate with the fire department in advance. We wouldn’t want any safety incidents."

"Mr. Su, are you insulting me? Rest assured, we’re a professional company. There won’t be any problems!" the manager cheerfully went off to handle the matter.

Taking on the risk was a privilege he granted to his own nephew—for half a million, sitting tight for 20 days was not an opportunity just any relative could hope for.

...

Having arranged the fireworks, Su Huai got busy again.

By now it was already December 12, and the fiscal year-end was approaching, with plenty of messy tasks to handle.

Particularly worth mentioning was the success of the influencer recruitment department; Chen Ru had managed to persuade 14 targets from her list to come for interviews.

It might sound pitiable—with a total of 2500, securing only 14 seemed like a joke—but actually, it wasn’t.

At this point in time, both streamers and web celebrities didn’t have a good reputation, and top-tier beauties had too many options. Having two or three out of ten willing to take a look was already worth commending Chen Ru for her effective work.

Wang Siming’s Banana Entertainment had been operating for a year—how many professionally trained beauties were willing to sign with his company?

Looking at the current state of affairs, Xingyu’s brand seemed to be much more appealing.

Su Huai attached great importance to these 14 seeds, and on the 13th, he personally attended the interviews.

And the result... was somewhat as expected.

Candidate number one outright refused to answer the initial questions and assertively countered, "Let’s not talk about that first. What can you offer me?"

Su Huai diplomatically responded, "That depends on which career path you are suited for. If we can mutually recognize each other’s value, all of that can be discussed slowly..."

She immediately frowned at Chen Ru, "That’s not what you told me before!"

Good news: not fazed by looks; she barely reacted upon seeing Su Huai.

Bad news: Arrogant and highly self-centered; she probably thinks the earth should revolve around her.

Why keep her around? Pass, pass!

The interview ended in less than ten minutes.

Candidate number two was a bit more polite, but much stubborn.

"I feel your offer lacks sincerity. I believe I have more capability than Yuji and deserve the same level of grooming, which should be stated in the contract..."

Su Huai patiently asked, "So, where exactly does your capability lie? Can you elaborate?"

Ms. Number Two, looking utterly rational and calm, started off, "Her figure isn’t as well-proportioned as mine, and her face is just average. As for dancing, I won third place in the Peach and Plum Cup for the youth professional group..."

On and on, but actually not hitting any solid points.

Good news: Her appearance was indeed top-notch, with fair skin, a beautiful face, and long legs, and she was talented in many areas, a versatile singer and dancer.

Bad news: Too high an opinion of herself, fixated on competing with Yuji.

Su Huai had to pass again.

Wouldn’t recruiting such a girl be like bringing in a ticking bomb?

Candidate number three was yet another oddball.

As soon as this girl entered the room, she sashayed in a model’s walk, struck a pose in front of Su Huai, and sent a flirtatious wink his way.

Finally, she crossed her long legs and perched on the chair like an Erlenmeyer flask, chin lifted, and asked, "Am I pretty?"

Indeed pretty, pure yet provocative, her alluring posture perfectly honed.

But are you sick?

This is a serious interview!

Rubbing his temples, Su Huai strived to communicate, "What is your view on live streaming?"

This girl was refreshingly straightforward: "Seducing men into spending money on me."

Okay, okay, promising.

Su Huai asked further, "How exactly do you seduce them?"

The girl looked surprised, "Right now?"

She glanced at Chen Ru and the record keeper next to Su Huai, laughed coyly, and said, "Oh, a special interview, huh? I get it. I don’t usually go for this kind of thing, but for you... shall we talk privately later?"

Somewhere on Su Huai was throbbing—don’t get the wrong idea, it was his temple.

Good news: She’s genuinely seductive.

Bad news: Not too bright upstairs.

Finally, candidate number four was serious. From her demeanor to her self-introduction, she exuded good breeding.

Su Huai and Chen Ru exchanged a look, breathing a sigh of relief.

"Are you from the Imperial Capital? A graduate from Capital Normal University?"

Chen Ru, looking at her resume with interest, asked, "Do you know that you’re an alumnus of Mr. Su?"

"I know."

Bai Ziyu glanced at Su Huai, biting her lip, "I have classmates who stayed on campus, and they told me about Mr. Su and Yuji’s matters. It’s because I trust my junior that I’m willing to try a new environment and new job."

Nice words, and the girl had good temperament. Chen Ru was particularly pleased.

But then Su Huai suddenly realized something wasn’t right and quickly opened the panel to look—my goodness, a Favorability Rating of 85 right off the bat?

Good news: This is a normal, well-mannered girl.

Bad news: Did she come specifically for me?

Su Huai didn’t think being liked was necessarily bad, but the problem was, this seemingly demure and gentle girl was too utilitarian.

She hadn’t even met me; what could she have heard about?

She had merely seen that ’poisonous’ car on the internet and then probed my family background through her classmates!

Realizing this as an opportunity, whether there were dates or not, she had come knocking, no other reasons.

Thus, Su Huai became extremely vigilant toward her but showed no sign of it.
