Chapter 112: Chapter 112 My Words Carry More Weight Than the President’s

Chen Xuan turned his head and to his surprise saw his neighbor from the old hutong, Jia Manman.

Previously, Jia Manman always dressed casually, but today she was wearing a black lady’s suit, looking very formal.

The two had not seen each other since they had parted unhappily over Cao Hui’s affair at the Huai City Banquet.

Running into Jia Manman here, Chen Xuan was slightly taken aback.

"I came here... for some work-related matters," Chen Xuan casually made up an excuse.

"Work-related matters?" Jia Manman paused, then realized, "I get it, you’re not here to look for a job, are you?"

When Chen Xuan said it was work-related, the first thing that came to Jia Manman’s mind was that Chen Xuan was job hunting.

Without waiting for Chen Xuan to reply, a disdainful cold sneer immediately appeared on Jia Manman’s otherwise pretty face.

"Makes sense, you’re an adult after all, you can’t always expect your wife to support you, it’s indeed time to find a proper job. Otherwise, the day your wife doesn’t want you anymore, you might just starve to death! Hahaha..."

Last time at the Huai City Banquet because of her boyfriend Cao Hui, Jia Manman had lost face in front of Chen Xuan, which she had been brooding over. Now that she finally had a chance to mock Chen Xuan, how could she pass it up?

Chen Xuan was exasperated, if he hadn’t intervened last time, Jia Manman might have been taken advantage of by those loan sharks, the consequences unimaginable.

Yet far from being grateful, this woman saw him as an enemy, a real ingrate!

"Whether or not I’ll starve to death is none of your concern!"

Having said that, Chen Xuan turned to leave, but Jia Manman reached out to stop him.

"What else do you want?" Chen Xuan asked, somewhat annoyed.

Yet Jia Manman wore a flirtatious smile, "Nothing much, I just wanted to tell you that if you’re looking for a job, you might want to look elsewhere. With your loser vibe, you’re simply not fit to work at a high-end mall like Yida Plaza, you’d bring down the whole place’s class! Besides..."

Jia Manman smiled mysteriously, continuing, "Let me share a secret, I’m about to become the head of the HR department, and if you end up working under me, life might not be so easy for you..."

Chen Xuan frowned.

Was this woman blatantly threatening him?

If it were anywhere else, he might let it slide, but Yida Plaza now belonged to Chen Xuan himself.

Being threatened on his own turf was something Chen Xuan simply couldn’t tolerate!

Chen Xuan smiled faintly, "If I recall correctly, you only graduated from a vocational school, have never worked in HR, and it’s not even your field. Wanting to become department head right off the bat, aren’t you dreaming?"

If it were a small company, that might be possible, but this was Yida Plaza, a corporation worth billions in assets. How could they possibly let someone with no experience whatsoever become a department head?

But Jia Manman appeared very smug, "For an ordinary loser like you, sure, it’s a dream, but for Jia Manman, it’s different. I have connections and becoming a department head here is a piece of cake!"

Chen Xuan had an epiphany, "I thought you had some real ability, turns out you’re just having someone pull strings for you!"

No sooner had Chen Xuan spoken than a stern voice suddenly sounded from behind.

"Where’s this fool from, can’t you speak properly?"

A balding middle-aged man came towards him with a dark expression.

In his gaze at Chen Xuan, there was annoyance and disdain.

"Let me introduce, my uncle, he’s the Vice President of Yida Plaza!"

Jia Manman seemed very proud, and her gaze towards Chen Xuan was challenging.

Uncle Jia Yongfu was still enraged, jabbing his finger at Chen Xuan’s chest as he barked, "I’m talking to you, dammit, can’t you speak? What do you mean by pulling strings? This is a society that runs on relationships, connections are also a symbol of strength, do you understand that?"

"Of course, looking at your poor and shabby appearance, I can tell that you definitely wouldn’t know anyone competent, so naturally, you wouldn’t have the chance to understand these things!"

Jia Yongfu’s smile was full of contempt and disdain.

Chen Xuan responded with a faint smile, "Doing your personal business at someone else’s company. Where did you get the courage to talk about corruption so righteously?"

Jia Yongfu suddenly became furious, "You motherfucker, say that again! I’m the vice president of this company, I use whoever I want, fire whoever I want, is it your place to point fingers here as an outsider?"

"Let me tell you, if it weren’t for the fact that you’re Manman’s friend, I definitely wouldn’t have let you off so easily today!"

Jia Manman hurriedly distanced herself from Chen Xuan, "Uncle, you’ve misunderstood, how could I possibly be friends with someone like him. He’s here to apply for a job at your company!"

"Apply for a job? Him?" Jia Yongfu scoffed.

"Who knows? People like him, at best, can only come here to be a security guard, hahaha..." Jia Manman covered her mouth with a flirtatious laugh.

Jia Yongfu snorted and pointed at Chen Xuan, "I don’t care what position you came here to apply for, I’m officially notifying you now, you’re rejected. Get out of here quickly, don’t let me see you at Yida again!"

Jia Manman rejoiced in Chen Xuan’s misfortune, "You heard him, right? Better find somewhere else to work, you’re not welcome here!"

Chen Xuan’s gaze turned cold, "You want to reject me without even knowing what my educational background or capabilities are, you sure have a lot of power!"

Jia Yongfu grinned proudly, "You got that right, I am the vice president of the company, in charge of personnel. Ever heard the phrase ’the current official holds more sway than the county magistrate’? Let me tell you, here at Yida Plaza, my word, Jia Yongfu, carries more weight even than the chairman’s!"

Chen Xuan laughed sarcastically, nodding repeatedly.

He, the president of Yida Plaza, was indeed being belittled by a mere vice president, which was quite an experience.

"What, got a problem with that?" Jia Yongfu stood his ground confidently.

Chen Xuan smiled, "Nothing. I’m just afraid that all this arrogance of yours, if it reached your chairman’s ears, might make him very unhappy!"

"Hmph, that’s not for a wage earner like you to worry about!"

With that, Jia Yongfu led Jia Manman straight into the HR office.

Before leaving, he shouted at Chen Xuan, "Get out of here now, if I come out later and still see you, I’ll have you thrown out!"

Jia Yongfu’s arrogance made Chen Xuan shake his head with a bitter smile.

At that moment, his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Xue Qin.

"President Chen, the contract is ready. When can you come over?"

"I’m already here, in the first-floor lobby."

"What, you’re already here?" Xue Qin sounded surprised.

On the other end of the phone, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes tensed up when he heard the voice on the call, "President Chen is already here? Tell him to wait downstairs. I’ll go down to meet him personally right now!"

This middle-aged man was Wong Jianhao, the former chairman of Yida Plaza.

To Chen Xuan, the young tycoon who paid billions in a single breath to buy his properties, he naturally did not dare to neglect.

Upon hearing Wong Jianhao’s words, Chen Xuan quickly said, "There’s no need to go to all that trouble, where are you now? I’ll come over on my own."

A few minutes later, Chen Xuan arrived at the chairman’s office on the top floor.

"President Chen, my apologies for not meeting you sooner, my apologies indeed!"

Just at the entrance, Wong Jianhao hurriedly came up with a beaming smile to greet him.
