“What did you do to make them bow out?” Lu Qingliang asked sternly.

“I… I…” Mrs. Lu became nervous since she sensed her husband was about to lose her temper. Then she said with some grievance, “I… I just wanted them to increase the rent. Who knew they would be so stingy and withdraw just like that?”

Lu Qingliang asked with a dark face, “We’ve already discussed everything. Why would you suddenly increase the rent?”

Mrs. Lu said, “After they rented our place, I went to check on our renter’s background.” At this point, Mrs. Lu suddenly became excited and asked, “Hubby, do you know who our renter is?”

“Who?” Lu Qingliang asked indifferently, and then he said, “No matter who it is, it’s wrong to raise the rent randomly.”

Mrs. Lu said, “The renter is the manager of Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket!”

“Who?” Lu Qingliang thought he heard wrong and couldn’t help but ask again.

Madam Lu said, “They’re the people from Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket! They’re renting our place to open a second supermarket here!

“I knew their business would be good even though the location of our place is remote. After all, the things in that supermarket are extremely expensive. However, people fight to get them. Their business is profitable, and their income is hundreds of thousands a day.

“They clearly have money, so I thought of increasing the rent. Who would have thought that they would pull out the moment I mentioned it? What a stingy boss!” The more she said, the angrier Mrs. Lu became.

“Enough!” Lu Qingliang rubbed his head, “Business people usually value honesty the most. Since we have agreed with the rent already, how can we suddenly raise the price?”

Mrs. Lu said indifferently, “But I’m not a business person.”

“Does that mean you can be dishonest?” Lu Qingliang yelled at his wife, “Wang Yuqin, let me tell you, if they really don’t want to rent our house, you can just wait to sleep on the street outside.”

The idiot caused the family to lose 36,000 RMB a month. How did he marry such a stupid wife?

Mrs. Lu was furious. She questioned loudly, “Lu Qingliang, what do you mean by this? What do you mean by sleep on the street? I gave birth to a pair of children for you. Have you forgotten about that?”

…

Xiao Lingyu faced the five fresh university graduates.

“Hello, let me introduce myself. I’m Xiao Lingyu, the general manager of Taoyuan Village’s Green Fresh Fruits and Vegetables Supermarket.” Xiao Lingyu stood in front of them in professional attire. “Now, please introduce yourself!”

“Hello, I’m a graduate of South University, Qi Jiacheng!”

“Hello, President Xiao, I’m a graduate of Cheng University, Gao Beibei!”

“President Xiao, Hello, you’re a graduate of Huali University, Xiang Guohua!”

“Hello, President Xiao, I’m a graduate of J Province Agricultural University, Zhang Lele.”

“President Xiao, Hello, I’m a graduate of Shanghai University, Jiang Mingyu!”

When Xiao Lingyu heard this, she frowned. ‘These are all famous university graduates. Didn’t An Xiaohui say that there are two applicants from normal universities? Did she hand me the wrong resume? That shouldn’t be. An Xiaohui wouldn’t make such an amateur mistake, right?’

Xiao Lingyu took out her resume from the table and looked at it. She asked, “Wu Guixiang from City w vocational university and Chen Minghai from City G business school, are they here yet?”

The five applicants looked at each other in confusion.

Xiao Lingyu read it again and asked, “Do any of you know these two people?”

Three of them shook their heads and said, “CEO Xiao, we don’t know them.” Two didn’t say anything.

Xiao Lingyu nodded and said, “Please sit here for a while. I’ll be back in a bit.” She took the resume and walked out to give An Xiaohui a call.

“An Xiaohui, what’s going on? Why are there two applicants not matching the resumes?” Xiao Lingyu asked sternly.

An Xiaohui was shocked. She found her copies of the resumes and asked in confusion, “CEO Xiao, can you tell me who are the applicants?”

Xiao Lingyu said, “They are all graduates from prestigious universities. An Xiaohui, there shouldn’t be any mistakes in the recruitment process.

“Also, their contact numbers and resumes are obviously different. Why would there be such a mistake like this?”

An Xiaohui was stunned. She also didn’t understand what was going on.

An Xiaohui suppressed her doubts and said, “CEO Xiao, I’ll go in with you and take a look at them!”

It was another person from the HR department who led the five applicants to Xiao Lingyu’s office. Technically, they should all be vetted already. Regardless, An Xiaohui was in charge of the recruitment after all. If she made a mistake, it was her responsibility.

“Let’s go!” Xiao Lingyu nodded.

The moment An Xiaohui entered and saw the applicants, she remembered meeting them at the talent market yesterday. Two of them graduated from a prestigious university, and they had haughty and disdainful expressions on their faces when they handed their resumes to her. An Xiaohui immediately rejected them in her mind. So why were they here today?

An Xiaohui had a good memory.

She pointed at a girl and asked, “You’re Gao Beibei, a graduate of Cheng University, right?”

Gao Beibei gave An Xiaohui a disdainful look and nodded in response. “Yes, my name is Gao Beibei!”

“You’re a Shanghai University graduate, Jiang Mingyu, right?”

Jiang Mingyu’s face was a little red. Perhaps Jiang Mingyu was embarrassed.

Jiang Mingyu nodded and said, “Yes, I’m Jiang Mingyu!”

An Xiaohui looked puzzled and asked, “I remember that I didn’t inform you two to come for the interview. So why are you here today?”

Gao Beibei and Jiang Mingyu looked guilty.

Xiao Lingyu immediately understood and asked directly, “Do you two know Wu Guixiang and Chen Minghai?”

Gao Beibei said, “I know Wu Guixiang.”

Jiang Mingyu said, “I know Chen Minghai!”

An Xiaohui reacted and immediately asked, “Did they not want to come, or did you guys do something to prevent them from coming over?”

The two immediately shook their heads and waved their hands. “Miss An, you misunderstood.”

Gao Beibei said, “I didn’t do anything. Wu Guixiang received a call from another company in City Z for an interview. She couldn’t come here, so she asked me to come in her stead.” Gao Beibei paused for a moment and then said shyly, “Actually, I’m very interested in your company’s development prospects and would be very happy to work in your company.

“I just don’t know why Miss An didn’t like me in the talent market. However, I still wanted to work hard and give myself a chance.” At this point, Gao Beibei raised her head and looked at Xiao Lingyu with sparkling eyes. “CEO Xiao, I like to eat the vegetables that your family grows. I also like working in this beautiful place. Please hire me.”

Xiao Lingyu raised her eyebrows and asked with a faint smile, “It sounds like you’ve done your homework.”

Gao Beibei lowered her head slightly and said with embarrassment, “I’ve heard many friends talk about Taoyuan Village, so I’ve always wanted to come here. It would be great if I could work here.”

Xiao Lingyu didn’t say anything and just nodded. Then, she looked at the other person and said with a faint but majestic voice, “What about you?”

Jiang Mingyu said, “CEO Xiao, my situation is similar to hers. Chen Minghai also received a call from another company for an interview, so he went over directly.

“However, he didn’t inform your company. I felt indignant because I think highly of your company. I wanted to enter your company, but in the talent recruitment market, Miss An also rejected me. I was unsatisfied, so I came here directly.”

An Xiaohui, “…” Somehow they made it sound like it’s my fault. The people she picked skipped out on the interview; the people she rejected attended the interview on the absentees’ behalf.

An Xiaohui’s heart was filled with displeasure.

She looked at Xiao Lingyu. “CEO Xiao, this…”

Xiao Lingyu said, “Give those two another call!”

An Xiaohui replied, “Yes!”

“Tell them there’s no need to come anymore!”
