Chapter 96 - 34: Manager 2

Just maxed out on the homebody attribute, hoping the boss can accept his flaw of not stepping outside even a bit.

Su Xiaocai nodded secretly, this isn’t a flaw, it’s a strength. A game company’s manager treating it as their home is her ideal manager.

Moreover, he doesn’t have many demands for salary; as long as there’s food and accommodation, a wage above ten thousand will do.

Su Xiaocai’s attention returned to the name Our Love Orphanage, the place where she was taken in before the age of five.

After being refused further care, Daddy Su put her under his household registration.

Upon returning to check on other kids, the orphanage was already empty.

Yu Haoming lived there for three years, would he recognize her?

It’s been ten years, probably can’t recognize her anymore.

Su Xiaocai has no memories of the orphanage, not even the words that resonated in her ears upon rebirth are clear.

Her focus returned to the three potential managers.

Su Xiaocai decisively chose the 21-year-old Yu Haoming.

Quite risky, but she couldn’t offer the first two a sufficiently generous salary. If either was willing to accept shares and take less pay, she wouldn’t hesitate to choose them.

But they also didn’t want to give her a chance to reap benefits without investing anything as the boss, leaving her with one choice.

It’s already nine at night, not sure if the other party is asleep.

Su Xiaocai decided to act swiftly and called the other party.

The phone rang twice and connected, "Hello, is this Yu Haoming?"

A crisp male voice answered, "Yes, I’m Yu Haoming. Hello, who are you? What do you want with me?"

"My surname is Su. Ji Li recommended me to find you. I want to start a game company and need a manager."

Beside a bench on the street, squatted a short-haired man.

Under the light, he looked pitiful, wiped his dripping nose from the cold, and promptly replied, "You want to hire me as a manager? You know my terms, right?"

He’s been in Capital Star for two months without finding a job, not because no boss hired him, but because he proposed unrealistic terms.

He only accepts clients coming in person or to communicate via online video.

But bosses certainly won’t allow employees to be this introverted.

You’re the B side, not the A side. A side is the boss, where do you see the boss always contacting the employees to pay them?

Naturally, Yu Haoming continued living in the cramped capsule room, going back only to sleep, and pondering life on the street.

He met Ji Li a month ago.

To make some pocket money, he set up a stall at a big market to sell handcrafted items, with fixed prices, no bargaining.

Ji Li bought two.

Yu Haoming is rather introverted, but adept at conversing, saying appropriate things to people and being clever with words.

Ji Li, with a high sense of style, clearly seemed promising.

Yu Haoming shamelessly recommended himself, asking if there was a position suitable for him and if he would be hired.

He even pulled out a stack of certificates from his backpack to prove his ability and state his terms.

Ji Li asked him lots of curious questions then and took his resume.

But nothing was heard since.

Finally, today, a month later, a real boss called.

Su Xiaocai: "I know your terms. I’m in gaming, don’t need you to meet any clients; just need you to ensure the company runs smoothly."

"But I don’t understand games, especially the technical side. Aren’t you afraid I’ll mess up? And if the boss is starting a new company, is there funding? I definitely can’t assist with funds."

"You’re for management, I’m the technician, no need for worry on the technical side. As for funding, there’s someone willing to invest and cooperate."

Su Xiaocai continued, "If you’re willing, I also have some demands, which may be a bit challenging for you. As I won’t have time, need you to run errands for company licenses and qualifications, for a month, as I’ll be away. Can you do it? If yes, we’ll meet tomorrow."

Of course, Yu Haoming agreed; he didn’t want to live in the capsule room anymore. The people there are too complex, even snoring while sleeping.

Just being busy initially, he could manage.

Having a boss willing to hire him and agreeing to his terms, what’s there to consider?

Yu Haoming didn’t linger outside, went back to sleep, up early to meet the boss.

But his sleep process was not smooth.

In the capsule room was a bossy old man who joked that Yu Haoming should crawl through his legs upon seeing him return.

If not, he’d beat him.

A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated; precisely because Yu Haoming wasn’t one to compromise and fully discard his dignity, finding a job was difficult.
