Chapter 1041: Chapter 1041 - 456: Offline Recruitment
After Qi Sheng left Fang Yu’s room, his steps grew quicker. He didn’t even make a call and went straight to the kitchen, startling the busy chefs.
"Qi, President Qi?!"
While the others were still bewildered, the head chef quickly approached him.
"Why are you here?"
"Prepare a table of dishes, just like the quality from last year’s annual party, fill the table..."
Toot toot toot.
The phone rang, interrupting Qi Sheng.
He frowned slightly, gave the head chef a signaling glance, and then picked up the phone.
It was the secretary calling.
"Chairman, are you available now?"
"Speak."
"The goods have arrived, and the security personnel are in place."
"...How is the recruitment going, is it smooth?"
"Fairly smooth, after casting a wide net, we easily recruited over a thousand people, screened down to 136, all waiting for our final notification."
Qi Sheng didn’t ask about the selection criteria, as he trusted his secretary’s work.
"Allocate funds, then bring them all to the [camp] for closed management."
"Yes!"
Qi Sheng hung up the phone.
How to allocate funds, how to not go through the company’s accounts, these things don’t need him to say. The secretary, who has been with him for so many years, knows what to do.
To climb to his current position, Qi Sheng didn’t rely on being Mister Nice Guy. Some tough methods, grey means, could be unused, but couldn’t be absent.
Putting down the phone, facing the busy chefs, and the still tense and anxious head chef, Qi Sheng smiled, made a couple more remarks, and turned to the underground wine cellar.
He wanted to personally select a good bottle of wine for Fang Yu!
Though at first meeting, he was quite dismissive of the young man, but as long as he could save his daughter, he would regard this person as his benefactor!
As for recruiting manpower and exploring game affairs, it must continue.
This is the trend of the times, this is the direction of the future.
If he hadn’t seen Extraordinary Power it would be fine, but knowing of its existence, knowing its origin, if he didn’t grasp it early, even if he holds a business empire, it’s just a castle in the air, a touch and it shatters.
...
Bang!!!
The sister’s leap still abruptly awakens Xu Zhentian from deep night.
The rapid heartbeat made him look out the window.
The colorful, bustling night of Jiangnan City looks so extravagant, yet... it’s unrelated to the people at the bottom.
Beep beep.
A text message arrived, picking up an old phone with physical buttons, he slowly clenched the phone.
"Jinsi Hospital Notice: Room 13 in the Critical Zone has an outstanding balance of 5,1340.00 yuan, please settle the overdue amount within 3 days upon receipt of this notice or the company will stop... regards."
Borrowed everywhere!
Borrowed from everyone around, everyone looked at him like they were avoiding Living Yama!
Got fired, sold the few thousand yuan Apple phone, even the black-market kidney dealer he contacted a couple of days ago, reduced the agreed price from fifty thousand to thirty thousand.
Fuck, who’s creating this competition?! Even this business is competitive, can one still live?!
Bang!
Xu Zhentian slammed a heavy punch into the wall, only to hear angry shouts and curses from the adjacent apartment.
"Banging on walls in the middle of the night, you want to die, huh?! Believe I’ll come over with a sword right now and kill you!"
Xu Zhentian’s hand trembled, then tightly clenched his fist, staying silent.
Just the clenched fist had veins bulging one by one.
If it wasn’t for the hope! If not for his sister still in emergency in the hospital, he wouldn’t want to live anymore!
Beep beep.
The phone chimed again.
This time the message brought a glimmer of light to his eyes, but soon dimmed again.
"Three years for serving jail time for others, three hundred thousand."
The message, brief but not simple.
Three hundred thousand could solve urgent problems, but it’s far from enough.
It’s useless just to keep his sister in the hospital for a few more days, what’s needed now is surgery, heart surgery.
That deathly leap not only gave his sister multiple fractures, unconsciousness but also triggered her heart disease relapse, to the point of needing a heart replacement.
Just a heart transplant starts at five hundred thousand, not to mention subsequent maintenance costs, plus hospital treatment for fractures and other injuries, overall without a million, it’s impossible to fill the gap.
Just three hundred thousand is not enough, and three years without seeing his sister, who will take care of her?
While hesitating, Xu Zhentian replied to a text.
"Brother Qiang, any million or two-million jobs? Willing to serve decades in prison!"
"Get lost! If there was such a deal, it wouldn’t be your turn!"
Brother Qiang still had the leisure to reply to a text message, seems like he’s not annoyed.
This request was indeed a bit excessive.
Funnily enough, he originally worked as a white-collar in a building materials company, due to his job position having some contact with Brother Qiang, so they had mutual ’help’ in private, earning some gray income, but not much, because he was timid, not daring to take big risks, took only small parts, even if he truly got exposed, it would just be serving jail time.
In the end, before anything happened on his side, his sister had an accident first.
The scumbag cheated on love, in his view these were small matters on the growth path but became the last straw for his sister, leaping off the school building.
Fortunately, it was just a shabby school, the building wasn’t high, plus there was some event downstairs that day, with some tents pitched, providing some buffer, otherwise it wouldn’t have been just entering the hospital, but ascending to heaven.
The scumbag’s family saw the trouble, swiftly arranged the scumbag and mistress to be sent abroad the next day, Xu Zhentian wanted to avenge but couldn’t find them, let alone save his sister, couldn’t afford to send himself to prison.
