Chapter 145: Chapter 0145: An Unexpected Encounter with an Old Friend

The one leading was a young man looking quite arrogant, about twenty-three or twenty-four years old in appearance, with several men and women following closely behind him, each intentionally lagging slightly to accentuate his extraordinary status.

"Young Master Zhang, with you on board, our entry into Jinxiu Group this time is almost a sure bet!" A young man trailing behind displayed a fawning smile, speaking in a somewhat low voice.

The one referred to as Young Master Zhang was evidently the leader. Upon hearing this, a hint of complacency flashed in his eyes, and he chuckled: "Don’t worry, I may not be confident about other things, but helping you secure a position, that’s something I’m certain of. After all, my second uncle is a department manager there. I believe a word from him will earn some courtesy from human resources, being managers themselves."

"Jinxiu Group?" Chu Ge paused in his steps, his face revealing an intrigued expression upon hearing their conversation.

Since Chu Ge hadn’t suppressed his voice, naturally, several people across heard him. A girl who looked to be in her early twenties asked, "Are you also applying for a position at Jinxiu Group?"

"Applying?" Chu Ge was stunned for a moment, uncertain of how to respond.

However, the girl continued on her own: "Yeah, Jinxiu Group may not be a leading giant, but it’s also a major company worth tens of billions. Moreover, the company has very humanized benefits and has been increasingly thriving recently. If you’re looking for a job in Shanghai now, Jinxiu Group is definitely one of the top choices."

"That’s true," said a man standing aside with a sneer, glancing at Chu Ge, especially when he saw Chu Ge’s casual attire, a trace of contempt flashed in his eyes: "But as you said, with such great conditions at Jinxiu Group, competition for positions is bound to be intense; it’s not for just anyone to get in."

The discussion amongst the people opposite him left Chu Ge somewhat speechless... If they knew that he was going to be the examiner at the company tomorrow, he wondered what they would feel.

Seeing Chu Ge remain silent, the few young men and women lost interest in engaging further.

However, just when Chu Ge was about to leave, a voice suddenly caught his attention.

"Luoluo, why did you run out dressed like this? Weren’t you supposed to dress up nicely? As long as you can make an impression on Young Master Zhang, getting into Jinxiu Group later would just be a matter of his word."

The speaker was a girl with a hot figure, dressed in a short skirt, speaking in a lowered voice after seeing Young Master Zhang and the others walk away.

The one called Luoluo was a girl donned in plain clothes, wearing an ordinary shirt and jacket with the zipper pulled all the way up to her neck, completely concealing her seemingly substantial figure.

Her lower half was clad in regular jeans and white sneakers. Despite the simplicity of her attire, there was still a youthful and vibrant flavor about her.

However, the big round glasses perched on her nose completely masked the charm she should have possessed, making her unnoticeable among the few other lavishly dressed girls.

"Jianuo, you don’t need to persuade me anymore. Working at Jinxiu Group isn’t the only path. I believe that if my professional knowledge is excellent enough, I can make it with my own efforts!"

Luoluo appeared gentle and fragile, even her voice sounding somewhat delicate, but her tone was decidedly firm.

"Oh my silly Luoluo," sighed the girl known as Jianuo, patting Luoluo on the shoulder, "It’s not like we’re asking you to really flirt with Young Master Zhang, just to make an impression on him. Once you’re in the company, isn’t that okay? Plus, you’ll eventually want to date, right? Do you plan to look like this forever?"

With that, the girl winked at Luoluo with a smile: "A woman has to dress up!"

"Alright, Sun Jianuo, stop trying to convince her. If she’s like mud that won’t stick to the wall, not knowing how to seize opportunities, she will eventually be weeded out in this society," said a man standing by, looking at Luoluo with a face full of disdain.

"How dare you speak like that?" Jianuo Sun glared at the man: "YOU are the mud! How many times do I have to warn you? If I say Luoluo is okay, anyone else who dares bully her is going to get it from me!"

"You..." The man glanced at Jianuo Sun, but ultimately, he didn’t dare say anything and just muttered resentfully before hurriedly catching up with the rest of the group.

However, at this moment, Chu Ge suddenly changed direction and walked over.

"Qin Luoluo?"

Hearing her name being called, the plainly-dressed girl quickly turned around and was momentarily stunned when she saw Chu Ge: "You are..."

At this point, Jianuo Sun’s eyes lit up and she burst into laughter, bumping Qin Luoluo with her shoulder: "Hey, not bad Luoluo, when did you get to know such a handsome guy? Introduce me, will you?"

"Hey, cut it out," Qin Luoluo replied helplessly with a look at her best friend, shaking her head: "I don’t know him."

"Don’t know him?" Jianuo Sun scoffed, "He came all the way over here to call your name."

Chu Ge glanced at Jianuo Sun. It had to be said, this girl had a hot figure and a beautiful face – a true goddess on the outside.

But having spent all his time around Mu Bingtong, the city’s stunning beauty, Chu Ge had developed a high resistance to good looks. To him, such appearance and figure were merely passing marks.

Compared to the rare beauty of Mu Bingtong, it was a far cry.

Therefore, Chu Ge just gave her a cursory glimpse and focused his attention on Qin Luoluo: "I’m Chu Ge, remember? In that village, I caught a ride with you."

"Ah?" Qin Luoluo shook her head slightly, thinking hard, and then suddenly looked like she had an epiphany: "Ah, I remember now, you’re that beggar!"

"Beggar..." Chu Ge was speechless.

But he couldn’t blame her; when he came down from the mountain his clothes were old and patched, plus he hadn’t cared much for grooming, covered in dirt, he didn’t look much different from a beggar.

At that time, Qin Luoluo happened to be riding in an electric tricycle driven by a relative and gave Chu Ge a lift.

Who would have thought that such a fleeting encounter would lead to a reunion in Shanghai months later.

"Right, this is the menswear section, isn’t it? What are you doing here?" Chu Ge wanted to skip past that embarrassing history and looked around the area as he asked.

"Ah." A hint of helplessness flashed across Qin Luoluo’s face: "I came... with a few friends."

In fact, she really didn’t want to come today, nor did she have any desire to meet Young Master Zhang – it was her best friend who dragged her here.

Saying so, Qin Luoluo turned the question to Chu Ge: "Are you here to buy clothes?"

However, just at that moment, a voice suddenly came from the side: "Hahahaha, buy clothes? Did you even see what he is wearing? How could he afford the clothes here?"
