Chapter 97 - 34: Manager 3

There’s no way he’d crawl under someone else’s crotch. "Get lost!"

"Pretty boy, you don’t know how to take a hint."

Yu Haoming retorted, "Ugly bastard, you’re both ugly and smelly. Get away from me, seeing you pisses me off."

"How dare you insult me? You don’t want to stick around here anymore? Take a good look at yourself, no boss would be dumb enough to hire a freak like you."

Yu Haoming’s demands for work conditions were infamous at Caged House. Everyone couldn’t stand him, how could someone so poor be so confident?

Find a decent job, save up some money, and then you can live your dream life.

No one understood Yu Haoming’s persistence; he just felt that if he conceded on such small conditions now, he’d have to concede more later. If he were good at writing or painting, he would’ve pursued those home-based careers long ago.

Both sides wouldn’t give an inch verbally, ultimately resorting to fists. If there’s a boss, naturally there are henchmen.

Yu Haoming fought two, relying on his rich fighting experience; he won, but his face was bruised.

With a bruised face, how could he face the boss proudly tomorrow?

Yu Haoming was extremely angry, so furious that he grabbed a feather duster from the guy next door and went berserk on the "boss."

"I’m meeting the boss tomorrow, and you ruined my face, are you even human?"

"Serves you right for bullying others, serves you right for trying to bully me."

"If I fail the interview, you’re dead meat."

Yu Haoming roared, hitting heavily until the "boss" hopped and begged for mercy.

"Yu Boss, boss, please stop. I’ll call you boss, okay? I’ll never dare again." The boss turned into a lackey; the burly thug couldn’t understand how such a clean-cut guy had so much strength.

The feather duster got broken, but Yu Haoming’s anger hadn’t subsided. He pointed at the thug’s nose and said, "If my future is ruined tomorrow, your leg will be too."

After compensating the feather duster’s owner, Yu Haoming fumed as he went to sleep.

The two lackeys shrank their necks, fearing the feather duster, while regretting that after a tiring day of work, they also provoked this killing machine.

Indeed, people from Caged House, with few words, were ruthless.

Yu Haoming was one of the fiercest among them.

...

The next morning, Su Xiaocai packed her luggage, though she had little to actually pack. She didn’t leave Xiao Wanzi with Xing Miao; wherever she goes, it follows.

Xing Miao stayed in the dorm to test games, and could go to the cafeteria when hungry.

After all, the cafeteria’s dishes weren’t bad, unlike extraterrestrial ones which were uncertain.

Su Xiaocai refused to eat pre-packaged meals or nutritional liquids every day, Xiao Wanzi was definitely traveling with her.

Afterward, she borrowed the villa keys from Wu Qingqing to meet Yu Haoming.

Arrangements had been made to borrow the villa for one or two months with Wu Qingqing and Wu Zhaoxiang, planning to find a rental for Yu Haoming when she returned.

Wu Qingqing and Wu Zhaoxiang naturally had no objections, as long as the person wasn’t messy, they were agreeable.

Yu Haoming rose early, washed his hair, took a bath, and combed his hair. His cheeks and mouth corners were swollen, so he specially wore a mask to cover up, but it wasn’t much help, as a round bruise on his forehead was quite evident.

Anyone could see it wasn’t self-inflicted.

He shot a fierce look at the two still-sleeping thugs, thinking if he failed the interview due to his face, he’d come back to teach them a lesson.

The agreed-upon location with the boss was a nearby mid-to-high-end restaurant.

Yu Haoming pushed the door open to enter the restaurant; there weren’t many tables, the place was tidy and bright, giving a clear view throughout.

He looked around, searching for the imagined image of the boss.

But after scanning the place, either the women had children or they were in pairs or groups.

The only one sitting alone at a table in the corner was a young girl.

Unable to find anyone, he could only message Su Xiaocai to say he’d arrived.

He saw the girl in the corner look up at him, then wave.

Surprisingly, could she be a rich kid from some family?

Yu Haoming felt a bit nervous, but as he walked closer, he saw the girl’s features clearly. "Little Sister?"

Su Xiaocai remained composed, elegantly brewing tea, "Hello, Mr. Yu! Please have a seat, enjoy some snacks, and we’ll talk slowly."

Yu Haoming hurriedly sat down, staring at Su Xiaocai without blinking.

Su Xiaocai really resembled his little sister, both in looks and age. But he wasn’t certain; there are so many similar people in the world, what if he got it wrong?

"Miss Su, I’m sorry, but may I ask have you ever visited Quanai Orphanage before?"

"I didn’t expect Mr. Yu’s first question to be this." The tea was already brewed, the restaurant’s tea leaves weren’t from tea trees, but some dried and flattened herbal flowers.

Su Xiaocai quite liked drinking it.

Yu Haoming accepted the teacup from Su Xiaocai, "Thank you. It’s just that my heart is too eager. Brother Ji must have told you I was an orphan, right? My little sister I mentioned, she was my cousin, our parents died in an accident. When she was five years old, she disappeared. The director told me she died. Later, after the orphanage closed down, I looked up her death records but couldn’t find any."

His eyes burned as he looked at Su Xiaocai. Unable to find death records meant she wasn’t dead, but where she went, he didn’t have the authority to keep searching.

Knowing a relative is still out there is enough.

Yu Haoming never intended to disturb, but he still wanted to find her, at least to know if his little sister was doing well.

"Did I offend you, boss?" Yu Haoming hadn’t taken off his mask yet, fearing he’d scare this seemingly wealthy looking boss.

Su Xiaocai looked at Yu Haoming earnestly, "Mr. Yu, if you’re hoping kinship will improve your chances of passing the interview, then yes, it’s a bit intrusive."

Yu Haoming’s heart tightened: "I didn’t..."

Su Xiaocai laughed, "I’m joking. Let’s eat something first. I won’t mind the bruises."

Yu Haoming relaxed his expression, it seemed the boss was good-natured. He thought for a moment and decided to remove his mask.

The two swollen bruises on his fair skin were conspicuous, clearly fresh evidence.

"I fought with my roommates last night." Although Su Xiaocai didn’t ask, Yu Haoming still offered a line, "We don’t get along well."

"Where are you living now?" Su Xiaocai didn’t start with work talk, just casual chatter to gauge his character through conversation.

Yu Haoming’s academic performance wasn’t outstanding, naturally, this was related to his extensive studies.

If they truly were siblings, then no wonder they shared the bloodline, with the same penchant for reading a wide array of materials, learning indiscriminately.

Yu Haoming studied various subjects to better find jobs, but undeniably, he passed all exams and obtained certifications.

While chatting and eating, the snacks were gradually finished, and Su Xiaocai watched Yu Haoming take action against the raw carrot shreds used as a dish lining, so she ordered more dishes.

"Ordering so much, can you finish it?" Yu Haoming took a bite of carrot shreds and put down his chopsticks, waiting for the other dishes.

"Tell me your thoughts on the job, the work environment, pay, and the things you mentioned last night. If there are issues, bring them up together; I will be traveling with the school, so many company tasks will require you to handle."

Yu Haoming: "My requirements are all listed on the resume. If you’re willing to meet my terms and hire me, I don’t mind running some errands for you initially."

"Alright then, since you don’t mind my company being small, let’s work well together." Su Xiaocai didn’t mention anything about Quanai Orphanage throughout. She needed to verify details and adequately understand Yu Haoming before claiming kinship.

Her only relative was Daddy Su; suddenly having a cousin left her uncertain of what attitude to adopt towards him.

"Really? That’s it, I’m hired? No background check, no consideration?" Yu Haoming suddenly felt uneasy, questioning whether he had unknowingly fallen into a pyramid scheme.

"I trust Ji Li."

Yu Haoming smiled sheepishly and nodded, indeed, Ji Li must’ve investigated him thoroughly to introduce him to Su Xiaocai.

An additional investigation by Su Xiaocai was clearly unnecessary.

After shaking hands, Su Xiaocai informed him, "Soon, three investors will visit, so you can get to know each other. I don’t have much money; early prep work will involve milking them for funds, so when you’re acquainted, it’ll be easier to milk them."

Yu Haoming thought: What an unconventional little boss.

Su Xiaocai wasn’t worried about financial issues, no money? Seek out deep pockets.

Just as the waiter removed empty plates, three deep pockets—no, investors—arrived.
