Reaching the age of thirty, my income randomly doubled

People who love to show off often don’t have too many friends.

This is definitely true for Er Piya.

But she’s only three and a half years old, and it’s only been over the past month that she discovered she belongs to the prodigy crowd.

So, showing off is not unexpected.

Chen Pingsheng certainly wouldn’t stoop to arguing with a woman who lacks quality and acts without restraint due to some connections behind her.

He would deal with it in a way that imposes unbearable costs to the other party.

However, he didn’t tell Er Piya, to prevent her from growing up crooked.

It seemed like the issue had ended there. Er Piya continued with her daily routine.

But aside from studying, she developed another hobby.

That was to learn martial arts with her older sister, who never got bullied ever since she was a kid, thanks to her presence in the community.

An’an was the big sister figure in class, the kind that would rally the whole class with just a call.

For that alone, Er Piya would need at least two to three years to learn.

...

Days passed by, and soon it was late October.

As the temperatures dropped, Chen Pingsheng dressed in senior cadre style when going out.

His middle-aged aura was undeniable, and compared to the delicacy of the Magic City, he rarely dressed up.

Even his watch was changed to an entry-level Omega with a black leather strap and white dial, which cost thirty thousand.

Don’t buy a car above your annual salary, and don’t buy a watch above your monthly salary.

He firmly grasped the basic consumption view of the middle-class family.

When taking the elevator out, he ran into Shi Xiaoshan and his girlfriend Shen Bing again, chatting and laughing happily.

Shen Bing was probably the unattainable crush for many, pristine in looks and purity of heart.

Yet she had not been tainted by the big city and was still willing to live in a rented apartment with Shi Xiaofeng.

Since they always bumped into each other, they became acquaintances.

Sometimes they would walk together at The Bund, with Shen Bing particularly fond of Er Piya.

And Er Piya liked her too.

Every time before going out, Er Piya liked to knock on her door to invite her for a walk.

Being a university professor, without even mentioning the salary, would naturally earn a certain level of respect.

Shi Xiaofeng worked for a small private company, and with over ten thousand a month, he wasn’t low-income.

But he was far from high-income.

He wouldn’t be able to afford such a big apartment if it weren’t for his bunkmate brother who was rich.

Too bad the guy’s intuition was so off.

He hadn’t noticed his brother had ideas about his girlfriend, even when Shen Bing herself realized it. @@novelbin@@

She hinted indirectly, yet Shi Xiaoshan remained oblivious.

Before heading to work, he first dropped Er Piya at school, then his older daughter, and only after did he head to the university.

With the temperature dropping further, Jiang Xiaodong, a 90’s university student, invited him for hotpot at noon.

Seeing that he had nothing pressing, Chen Pingsheng joined.

Late October also heralded the autumn recruitment season at universities, an exciting time for the graduating class.

This year, Financial University had many companies sign up for campus recruitment.

Offering dozens of positions, not only did students look forward to this time each year, but teachers also assisted them in job hunting.

And among all the companies, the most sought-after were undoubtedly Big Ali in Hangzhou and Tengying Group in Magic City.

Both were famous for their excellent corporate treatment and were the dream workplaces that students strove hard to join.

Compared to Alibaba, Tengying Group was more popular among out-of-town students.

As mentioned in its public recruitment, one of its requirements was a preference for students from out-of-town and mountainous area universities.

Although this point is highly controversial in the capital markets, it is extremely popular in universities.

Countless college students believe that Tengying truly understands the difficult job-seeking predicament of students from out-of-town universities, hence the firm requirement to only recruit such students.

It represents corporate benevolence and a form of tangible charity.

Those with a house waiting for demolition at home won’t have their future prospects of marriage and childbearing affected by not having a good job.

But the situation is completely different for the out-of-town college students.

However, Yang Hong also mentioned some unsavory rumors, "It’s definitely a good thing to join a company like Tengying Group, but I don’t know if you’ve heard some gossip. A person in charge of campus recruitment at Tengying Group has been secretly using backdoor methods to offer special quotas for direct entry."

"It seems that such things are not limited to state-owned enterprises. Where there are people, there is Jianghu. I’ve also heard something – last year, two pretty girls from our department got in through the backdoor."

Jiang Xiaodong also sighed helplessly, "It’s even worse this year. The campus recruitment for Tengying hasn’t even started yet, and the news has already spread within some circles that as long as you spend a few nights with that person in charge, a quota is guaranteed."

"There’s such a thing?" Chen Pingsheng asked in surprise, "How come I don’t know about this!"

"Isn’t this quite normal? Some people who have grasped the power to get into Tengying Group, and many female college students, in order to get into such a big corporation, are outright willing to sell their bodies."

These are the things they, as teachers, can only complain about in private.

After all, Tengying has grown to such an extent.

Now it’s not them seeking to attract university recruitment, but first-rate universities seeking to have them come in.

Even if there are some people with improper behavior inside, what can they say? It’s just one willing to hit and another willing to suffer.

Chen Pingsheng’s appetite for eating was gone; he detested these unwritten rules the most.

In his own company, the most stringent checks are on the illegal activities arising from a little bit of power in one’s hands.

He didn’t expect such things to happen now.

Who wouldn’t like pretty college girls? Only for them to be ruined by some people using a bit of meager power they have.

After he finished eating quietly, he called over his assistant, Jiang Yilan, and asked if she knew about these things.

In fact, Jiang Yilan was aware.

It wasn’t that she enjoyed gossiping about these things, but her only friend in college, who was also her roommate, often spoke indignantly about it in the dorm.

Then someone asked her friend if she would be willing to sleep with someone for a few days to get into a big corporation like Tengying and have a worry-free life. Her roommate fell silent.

Chen Pingsheng asked expressionlessly, "Are you in such a group?"

"No, someone invited me to join before, but I didn’t," Jiang Yilan said softly.

"Join it and help me find out what’s exactly going on."

A mere campus recruitment official has no power to stop such a large scheme,

and it certainly cannot escape the strict management of Tengying Group, which must also involve some male executives.

Then, deceiving those above and below to cover up together, who might these people be?

Jiang Yilan didn’t understand why the usually mild-mannered Professor Chen was having such a strong reaction to these matters.

But she was obedient.

Shortly after leaving, she immediately joined such a group through her roommate.

And these kinds of groups have an additional name in their university.

They are called the Tengying Selection Groups, and those who aren’t pretty enough won’t even have the qualifications to join.

And there are actually people organizing these groups specifically.

Chen Pingsheng was greatly shocked; the downfall of a company often begins from within.

He had previously been completely unaware that someone was using Tengying’s power for such purposes.

Who could it be?

Capable of keeping him utterly in the dark, even Chu Qiuyan, who had been the overall person-in-charge of campus recruitment for the past two years, didn’t know.

Such rampant personal desires breed within the company.

He was completely kept out of the loop, which in look itself isn’t normal.

Taking advantage of this university autumn recruitment, he still wanted to investigate this matter thoroughly.
