"Please... Are you recruiting apartment managers here?" Zheng Yubai asked the two black men over two meters tall in front of him in confusion.
These two black men are not only big enough to play basketball in the NBA, but if their muscular bodies burst out from under their white short-sleeved T-shirts, I'm afraid Tyson wouldn't be their opponent. They seemed to have not heard Zheng Yubai's words at all, and just uttered a few English words from between their teeth.
“WAIT…”
After all, Zheng Yubai was a graduate of a regular university and had some English proficiency. After hearing the black giant's response, he had no choice but to stand in the corner and wait.
Zheng Yubai graduated from university in August. From August to November, he traveled to countless places but couldn't find a job.
It is said that there are 1.5 million college graduates this year, but there are only 1 million vacancies. Fresh graduates like Zheng Yubai who have no work experience are rarely hired, and can only become one of the 500,000 newly unemployed, wandering in the city of Jinghai, looking for opportunities.
Four years of university life were very frustrating. Was it me who went to university or was it the university that went to me? Zheng Yubai leaned against the wall, thinking wildly. He climbed to the 18th floor where there was no elevator just because he saw a job notice in his hand.
Zheng Yubai accidentally found the recruitment notice in an alley after he failed his 79th interview. His first reaction was that someone was joking, but his desire to find a job made him unable to help but call the number above. Surprisingly, someone answered the call and directed him here for the interview.
The recruitment notice reads:
Black Star was founded in the early 20th century. It is a large, modern, time-honored, international mafia group involved in drug trafficking, financial fraud, arms smuggling, murder for money, black gold trade, entertainment, pornography, gambling and other fields. It has world-class mafia qualifications. So far, the company has obtained ISO9001 certificates in eight fields such as smuggling, pornography, gambling, etc. In addition, the company has successively won: "Asia's 007 Top Three Mafia" issued by the Asian Gang Federation; "The Third World's Top Ten Mafia" jointly issued by the three major mafia alliances in America, Europe and South America; "Top Ten Drug Trading Groups" issued by the World Drug Exchange Association; "Second Place in the Top Ten Most Influential Mafia Groups in the World in the 20th Century" issued by the American "Time" magazine (lost to the Italian Mafia by only one vote).
After nearly a hundred years of operation, our company members are not only spread across large and medium-sized cities in Asia, but have also successfully expanded to the world. We have members in America, Europe, Japan, Southeast Asia, Africa and other regions, and have established branches in 80 countries or regions including Hong Kong, Japan, the United States, and the United Kingdom. In addition, our company has also established close cooperative relations with foreign underworld counterparts, such as the Italian Mafia, the American Vietnamese Youth Gang, the Chinese Youth Gang, the Japanese Yamaguchi-gumi, the Sumiyoshi Federation, the Inagawa-kai, the smuggling gangs and pirate groups in Southeast Asia, and the Middle East Al-Qaeda. In many major international smuggling, drug trafficking, kidnapping and money laundering incidents that have occurred in recent years, our company members have been active behind the scenes.
Over the years, the company has always attached great importance to absorbing fresh blood. The gang leader Xu Heixing has repeatedly stated in public: "We must control the entry of talents. In the process of selecting talents, we must be open, fair, and just, and resolutely prohibit nepotism. Only in this way can we achieve the goal of recruiting talents and eliminating mediocrity, and the company can be evergreen." It is precisely because of this employment concept that the company currently has more than 40,000 mid- and high-end talents in various industries, among which 10% are excellent veterans, 60% have bachelor's degrees, 5% have master's degrees, and 5% have doctoral degrees. The joining of these outstanding talents has made up for the company's long-term shortcomings of being brave but not wise. At the same time, the company has also cultivated a group of outstanding black and white management and technical talents, some of whom are unstoppable in the business world, and some are rare killers, drug dealers, singers, movie stars and gambling kings in the world. Many of them have become the backbone of the company in the new era. They are the future Taibao, flag guards, hall masters, general protectors, general patrols, general law enforcement and even general hall masters.

It stands to reason that no one would pay attention to such a job posting that looked more like a prank, but Zheng Yubai had no choice. After graduating from college, he had been staying at his aunt's house. Although his aunt didn't say anything, his cousin Tang Qing didn't look at him well and often called him a waste. His parents in his hometown were also worried about him, and they would call him from time to time to ask him to go back to the village to find a wife, have children, and farm.
Zheng Yubai wanted to find a job and do a good job. Although the university he attended was not bad, he studied history, which basically no one wanted. Nowadays, there are often 40 or 50 people competing for a job, which has spoiled employers and often requires a master's degree from a famous university. Graduates from Peking University have to sell pork, let alone Zheng Yubai. Not to mention finding a suitable job, there are no unsuitable ones.
Become a salesman? Zheng Yubai's eloquence is not good, otherwise why would he fail every interview? Become a waiter? The boss thinks he is not smart enough and is afraid that he can't serve customers well. Start a small business? He has no capital and doesn't know what to do. Continuous failures made Zheng Yubai completely lose confidence in finding a job.
As time went by, some of his former college classmates were lucky enough to find jobs, while others could not make it and returned to their hometowns. Only Zheng Yubai was still drifting in Beijing, busy attending various job fairs and interviews every day. He was defrauded of a lot of registration fees, but there was no progress at all.
For Zheng Yubai now, as long as he can find a job and take home a month's salary, he would dare to make a call and give it a try, even if it was al-Qaeda recruiting terrorists, let alone a gangster.
The lady who answered the phone had a voice as sweet as honey. She not only enthusiastically showed Zheng Yubai how to find the Black Star Company office, but also reminded him to bring various identification documents so that he could start work at any time once he was accepted.
"The company that can afford such security guards should not be a scam company..." Zheng Yubai thought to himself as he looked at the two black giants. The only strange thing was that this building didn't even have an elevator, and the 18-story building could only be climbed step by step.
Fortunately, for Zheng Yubai, who has practiced martial arts since childhood, eighteen flights of stairs are nothing. Compared to being chased by the wolfhounds released by his father when he was a child, climbing stairs is nothing.
Oh, do I really want to be a gangster? Zheng Yubai leaned against the wall, thinking helplessly. His understanding of the underworld was at best from some movies he had watched in college, such as Chow Yun-fat's Brother Mark, Jordan Chan's Shan Ji, and Andy Lau and Tony Leung's Infernal Affairs.
I just had no choice. I would never do murder, arson or drug trafficking. The position of apartment manager has nothing to do with criminal activities, right? Zheng Yubai muttered to himself.
With a creaky sound, the door behind the black giants opened, and a beautiful woman poked her head out: "Is Mr. Zheng here?"
"Coming, coming." Zheng Yubai hurried over, trying his best to smile like Chow Yun-fat in A Better Tomorrow.
I don’t know whether the beauty doesn’t like Chow Yun-fat or young people nowadays prefer Jay Chou. She just glanced at Zheng Yubai and said, “Come in. Follow me.”
Zheng Yubai followed the beauty into the room. The beauty had a charming face and looked like the type who was extremely coquettish. When she walked, her body twisted into an S shape. Zheng Yubai felt dazzled as he looked at her twisting butt.
The room was very spacious, with a corridor at the entrance, and a number of compartments could be seen on both sides. Screams could be heard faintly.
"What... is that sound?" Zheng Yubai was startled.
"Don't be afraid. A few of my brothers didn't pay their monthly allowances. We have to punish them. You have to know that high income means high risk and more responsibility. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this world. There are more college graduates than hair on a cow now, and it's hard to find a job. Our company has such good treatment and is a multinational group. The salary is paid in US dollars. It's not that easy to get by..." The beauty kept nagging, not caring whether Zheng Yubai heard her or not. (To be continued)
