Swindler Company

“Kang Xiaobo, I’ve arranged for him to be in the position of intern vice president. He will be mainly in charge of the marketing department.” Fatty Lai continued. “While the current executive vice president in charge of the marketing department now is my friend, he’s here just to help me out. I believe that Kang Xiaobo will be able to master everything in no time with my friend teaching him the important stuff.

“Good. Just do it your way.” Lin Yi couldn’t believe that Fatty Lai did a pretty splendid job in arranging all these. It was a surprise to him..

“As for Fen, I’ll put her to work in the quality inspection department first but the quality inspection manager seat is still currently available when Fen got used to the work. We’ll slowly move her to the manager position.” Fatty Lai explained.

“You have this planned thoroughly.” Lin Yi was the most classic example of nepotism but no matter how close Kane Xiaobo and Fen were with him, they couldn’t just get whatever they wanted without any efforts. Although Kang Xiaobo was Lin Yi’s lackey, the CEO of the company, was Fatty Lai not Lin Yi’s lackey too?

With Kang Xiaobo’s test result, he probably couldn’t even afford to enter a university, at most just some third-rate universities. For him to get such an average result was not because of him not working hard to achieve the ideal result but Kang Xiaobo himself didn’t have what it took to be a student- he wasn’t as smart as the Miss or Chen Yushu so even if he worked extra hard, he couldn’t escape the fate of having a result that was below average.

Songshan First school might be an elite school but not everyone in the school was able to pass the exam to enter a prestigious university. People who had a result like Kang Xiaobo with a rich family could find a route to attend a better university with money but for those who had a bad result and no money, they could only attend normal third rate university.

While Kang Xiaobo had already accepted his fate and moved on with his decision, he chose to give up his studies now by studying at a random third rate university and putting all his focus on the company first. He planned to pursue his MBA after working out some decent result in the company. It was not a bad route, either.

Meanwhile, Kang Xiaobo’s parents were able to see things through as well. What was the point of persevering ten years in one’s studies in spite of hardships? Wasn’t it all for a better job in the future? Now, Kang Xiaobo had a steady job as the intern vice president of a big company. Without a connection or experience, who would hire a kid to be in that position?

After Lin Yi left, Fatty Lai started searching for connection and routes to contact the entertainment industry. The ways to contact artists might be confidential to the commoners but it was not hard for businessmen because they would always organize events or conferences which required artists to hype things up and the entertainment companies were glad to work with them as well.

Very soon, Fatty Lai found a way to contact the entertainment company where Xu Shihan was working for. He started calling the agent.

It was an undeniable fact that the agent of the superstar was actually a rather nasty and cocky person. She picked up the phone and sounded impatient. “Who are you? What do you want?”

Fatty Lai couldn’t help but furrow his eyebrows when he heard the tone from the other side but he still remained his composure and replied calmly, “Hello, I’m a businessman, looking forward to collaborating with Miss Xu Shihan...”

The agent’s voice became softer when she heard that Fatty Lai was a businessman but her tone was still cold. “Which company are you from? How big is your company? What do you want to collaborate with Miss Xu? Attending events or brand ambassador?”

No one could blame the agent for being so impolite and cold. There were many people calling to harass her every day and the agent was so annoyed to a point of no return so before the caller’s identity was confirmed, she would never let her guard down that easily.

“Good day, I’m Lai Changyi, the CEO of Miracle Doctor Guan Medicine company, looking for Miss Xu Shihan to be the brand ambassador of our upcoming product and would like her to attend our new product conference!” Fatty Lai saw that the agent was a very straightforward person, so he cut the bullshit and went directly to the point as well.

“Miracle Doctor Guan company?” The agent was taken aback and asked, “You mean this is calling from Guan Xuemin’s company?”

“Yeah.... Miracle Doctor Guan is Guan Xuemin...” Fatty Lai nodded. It seemed like the agent had heard of the company before?

“Isn’t Guan Xuemin’s company the swindler company?! What Miracle Doctor Guan? You should call him SWINDLER GUAN instead!” The agent suddenly threw tantrums and before Fatty Lai could speak.

*Pap* The call ended.

“Dududu.....” Fatty Lai only heard the ended call sound from their other side of the phone. He didn’t know if he should be laughing or crying! When did his company become a swindler company? And when did he offend the agent of Xu Shihan?

“Wang sis, why were you so loud just now? And did you just call him a swindler?” A heavenly voice sounded from the back of Wang sis. A girl with a bathrobe strolled towards her. Her face was white and slightly flushed like an angel of a young lady who just came out from her bath. Her hair was still wet with water vapor diffusing into the thin air. There was no trace of makeup and blush on her face yet she still looked remarkably stunning.

She was the one who owned countless fans, the one who was adored by middle schoolers and university students greatly, and the one who became the idol of youth in the fans’ eyes. She was none other than Xu Shihan, the superstar. However, she didn’t have the air of a superstar at all- she looked like a mischievous child around her agent. She bent her back trying to have a peek at her agent’s phone to find out who she was talking to just now.

“Han, are you feeling better?” Wang sis’s coldness disappeared completely and turned back to look at Xu Shihan with an unconditional love face.

“I’m fine. It’s nothing....” Xu Shihan shooked her head and smiled sweetly. “Wang sis, you don’t have to worry about me. Right, who were you talking to just now? What happened? And, Wang sis, recently, you’ve become pretty bad-tempered. When you pick up the phone, your voice is always cold....”

“I’m not cold. It’s just that some entertainment reporters tried to pry on your news pretending to be your fans or collaborator. It was really annoying!” Wang sis sighed. “It seems like I’ll have to change the number again. This number is known by too many people!”

“But what if someone was genuinely trying to collaborate with me?” Xu Shihan nodded and asked.

“Real or fake, I can identify it with just a few words with them. Many people are too rich and trying to have fun with you, but our Han is not that kind of person, is she? If they really want to hit on a celebrity, they better go find someone else!” After so many years working as an agent, Wang sis had gained a new ability which was a pair of fiery eyes and golden pupils that could discern truth from falsehood and see through the net worth of the company. Only developed and well-known companies could afford to hire Xu Shihan.

“Oh.....so the previous call you had wasn’t looking for collaboration?” Xu Shihan knew that Wang sis was going through all that for her so she was not irritated by that. She’d lost her mom when she was young. Her neighbor, Wang sis, was the one who took care of her all this while. They had been sticking together and helping each other in difficulties- when Xu Shihan was bullied, Wang sis was always the one who stood up and protected her.
