Chapter 409: Live with dignity

Fan Bo opened his eyes suddenly and saw that it was Wen Liang. He stood up quickly and asked Wen Liang to sit in the boss chair. He said embarrassedly, "Boss Wen, I just wanted to take a nap and didn't see you. How did you get here?"

"You've been tired these past few days, make sure you get more rest." Wen Liang didn't sit in that seat, but stood there and said with a smile, "In a few days, the media from all over the country should be here. I have something to do back in Qingzhou, Teacher Fan, I'll leave Beijing to you."

Fan Bo was stunned for a moment, and said anxiously: "You want to go back? That won't work, I'm afraid I can't do it alone..."

"It's okay, I trust you!" Wen Liang didn't bother to care whether his words were sincere or false. From the first day he met him, this guy had been working hard to make progress. He dared to usurp the throne when he was sent to assist Ye Zhiwei in making Biluochun, let alone how could he not have the ambition to be independent in the imperial capital

However, Wen Liang was least afraid of such subordinates, and said, "But remember one thing, everything should be done according to our established plan, and don't act on your own, okay?"

Although he had only known Wen Liang for a short time, Fan Bo was deeply afraid of this seemingly harmless boy in his heart. Don't listen to his gentle tone at this moment, if you really think he is a gentle person, then he is definitely a fool.

Fan Bo has already had a profound understanding of this in Wujiang.

"I understand! Don't worry, Mr. Wen. I will never let you down!"

Wen Liang smiled and waved his hands, saying, "Why are you so serious? Let's go out and buy you some clothes. You can't be too shabby when hosting a press conference at the Great Hall of the People, right?"

Fan Bo looked at the Youngor suit he had just changed into a few days ago, and his petty bourgeois mentality took over, and he said, "Isn't this suit of good quality? It's better not to change it."

"You have to know that in this country, sometimes people only care about the brand, not the quality. At least wearing Armani can match your identity as the president of a large company, and can make the media friends who come from afar feel at ease..."

Fan Bo was so embarrassed by Wen Liang's insults that he wanted to die. He had no choice but to follow him out. As soon as he left the office, two young girls came in with resumes. They were dressed innocently and asked the receptionist timidly, "Are you still hiring? I saw your recruitment advertisement in the square..."

The receptionist was a pretty girl. She took the resumes of the two and flipped through them. She smiled disdainfully and said in a mocking tone, "You just came from out of town, right? One graduated from a technical secondary school, and the other graduated from high school. You still want to find a job in our company? Do you really think that Beijing is a place where anyone can come?"

The two girls' faces flushed. One of them, the short-haired girl, seemed a bit more aggressive and said, "If you don't want it, then don't want it. Why are you talking so harshly? Give us your resume."

The other girl timidly pulled her. The girl with short hair held her breath and stretched out her hand, saying, "Give it back to us!"

The girl at the front desk wanted to retort, but then she thought about the boss being inside and it would be embarrassing if she made a scene. She threw her resume aside and said, "Hurry up and leave, you two country bumpkins. Don't embarrass yourself here."

Two resumes wiped the short-haired girl's face and fell to the ground. At this moment, Wen Liang could clearly see the tears of humiliation in the girl's eyes. He took a step forward and said, "You..."

The girl at the front desk was startled, but she saw another girl holding the short-haired girl's hand tightly, squatting silently to pick up the resume on the ground, and then she became more angry and said, "Why, do you still want to hit someone? With your quality, which company would dare to hire you? I advise you to go back to your hometown as soon as possible. You will starve to death in Beijing sooner or later."

"Let's go, Momo, let's go..."

The short-haired girl bit her lower lip tightly, and walked a few steps with the other girl. Suddenly, she stopped and turned back, saying loudly: "I, Tong Xiaomo, will definitely gain a foothold in Beijing. Not only will I not starve to death, but I will also live a happy, wealthy, and joyful life! Remember, I will definitely live with more dignity than you!"

"Pa pa pa"

Suddenly, there was a round of applause in the room. Wen Liang came over clapping his hands. Fan Bo followed him and came in front of the three girls. Wen Liang chuckled and said, "They say Beijing is big, but I think it's very small. I didn't expect to meet you here again after we parted on the train. It's true that we meet everywhere in life."

The short-haired girl was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to react. She grabbed Wen Liang's arm, and regardless of the tears that just fell on her face, she said excitedly, "Why are you here? You guys went to eat on the train and never came back. I thought you got off early."

Wen Liang smiled but didn't answer. Instead, he pointed at her cheek and said, "Wipe it first. You've become a little cat."

The short-haired girl wiped her face embarrassedly. Wen Liang pointed at the resumes in their hands and said, "Why, are you looking for a job? I thought you were college students in Beijing?"

"I was too slow to study. It just so happened that a neighbor of mine was working in Beijing, so Doudou and I went to stay with her. But she had changed her address and her phone number was unreachable. We had no choice but to find a job first..."

Wen Liang took their resumes. The short-haired girl was called Tong Xiaomo, a high school graduate, and the other girl was called Huang Doudou, a technical secondary school graduate. They were both from Laiwu City, Jiangdong Province. If Wen Liang remembered correctly, this was also one of the areas most severely affected by the flood disaster in Jiangdong. Tong Xiaomo ran out to work after graduating from high school, and it might not be because she was stupid as she said.

"Boss Fan, isn't the company short of people? Do you think they are suitable?"

When Wen Liang and Fan Bo came out, the girl at the front desk didn't think anything of it. When she saw that they knew each other, she felt a little uneasy, but she was also someone she could rely on, so she didn't think she had done anything wrong. At this time, seeing that Wen Liang seemed to be interested in recruiting these two people into the company, she couldn't help but interrupt and said, "Mr. Fan, the academic qualifications of these two people don't meet the company's requirements, and they have no work experience..."

Wen Liang didn't even look at her, and said to the short-haired girl, "Come, sit inside first, have a glass of water and take a rest."

Fan Bo waited for Wen Liang and the others to leave before he suppressed his anger and growled in a low voice, "Shut up! Do you have the final say here, or do I?"

The girl at the front desk widened her eyes in grievance and said, "You...you...you dare to be mean to me, be careful or I'll complain to my uncle!"

Fan Bo had never seen such a stupid girl before. He knew that keeping her would definitely bring him trouble, so he was immediately furious: "Get lost, you, leave now, I will naturally say hello to Director Xue."

The girl was dumbfounded. She didn't expect Fan Bo to really not give her uncle any face. She threw the form in her hand in anger, picked up her bag and ran away crying.

Back in the rest area, Wen Liang said calmly, "Sent away? How did you recruit such a person? Was there anyone who introduced him?"

"She is the niece of Director Xue of the Publishing Department of Peking University Press. We are cooperating with Peking University, so it is difficult to refuse. If I had known she was of such character, I would never have agreed."

Wen Liang was both amused and confused. Director Xue was just trying to take advantage of the situation. He must have known that the company had a close relationship with Lei Fang, so he wanted to squeeze someone in. Otherwise, with his connections, he could have plenty of places, so why would he introduce his niece to a newly established company to work as a receptionist

Soon putting the matter behind him, Wen Liang pointed at Tong Xiaomo and the other person and said, "What does Mr. Fan think? We just talked about it. I think these two girls are very good talents and should be worthy of the salary that Mr. Fan pays."

You've already said it, how dare I say no? Fan Bo muttered to himself, "Even President Wen has praised it, so it must be true. On behalf of Phoenix Bird Company, I formally welcome you two to join us."

Fan Bo extended his hand, but did not get the expected response. Tong Xiaomo stood up, speaking in a childish but firm tone, and said, "Thank you for your kindness. In fact, the sister just now was not wrong. We are new here, we don't know anything, and we don't have a high degree of education. We don't meet your recruitment requirements at all. I know you are kind and I am very grateful, but because of this, I have to live up to your kindness and your kindness. I can't take the money but not do anything."

She took Huang Doudou two steps back, bowed to Wen Liang and Fan Bo, then smiled and said, "When I feel I have the ability to make money from you, I will come to you again. Don't turn us away then."

Tong Xiaomo looked very ordinary, not even half as pretty as the girl at the front desk, but with that smile, she was many times prettier than her.

Wen Liang did not expect the girl to make such a choice, but he admired her choice very much. He reached out his hand and shook her gently, saying, "I'll wait for the day when you come to apply for the job again."

The two girls left together. Wen Liang looked at their backs and whispered, "With such courage, you can live with dignity!"

But sometimes, courage alone is far from enough. The reason why the world is cruel is that it can cut off a person's courage piece by piece, then destroy his faith and castrate his spirit, until he wakes up and realizes the truest truth in the world:

If you want to live with dignity, you must first give up your dignity!

Fan Bo still had their resumes in his hands. The girl forgot to take them when she left. He asked cautiously, "Boss Wen, this matter..."

"Give me your resume, and don't worry about it."

The two drove a Mercedes-Benz provided by Lei Fang to Jinyu Hutong in Wangfujing. Fan Bo half-jokingly said, "Boss Wen, I find that nothing can confuse you. I heard that this is your first time in Beijing, but how come you are so familiar with the roads here as if you were at home?"

How can we not be familiar with each other

Once upon a time, I held that girl's hand and strolled around Wangfujing. We walked through so many wind and rain, winter and summer. Between the vast sky and earth, we left so many clear laughs that belonged only to her!

Although we have traveled through two time and space, I can still vaguely see the girl's moving back from the endless stream of people outside the car window. She has always been there and always in my heart!
