Chapter 3: Do Not Hit Women

"Zhang Daneng, come in for the interview!" A beauty called out from the conference room, but there was no response for a long time. The girl called out several more times, still with no reply.

Li Xiaoyao hurried over and said with a smile, "Hello."

The beauty looked Li Xiaoyao up and down and asked, "Are you Zhang Daneng?"

Li Xiaoyao replied, "Yes, I am."

The beauty frowned, glanced at Li Xiaoyao, then at the photo on the resume, clearly noticing they were not the same person.

"How come you don't look like your photo?"

Li Xiaoyao answered, "That was when I was fat, now I have lost weight."

The beauty didn't think too much, probably not expecting someone to play tricks during an interview, and besides, he was the only one named Zhang Daneng here.

Li Xiaoyao walked to the third room, pushed the door open, and entered. Inside the room were three interviewers, two men and a woman.

Li Xiaoyao sat down casually in front of the three people. Just as he sat down, the man in the middle suddenly shouted, "Who told you to sit down?"

Li Xiaoyao gave the man a look, ignored him, took out two resumes and handed them over, asking, "How should I address you all?"

The man asked unhappily, "There's three of us, and you bring only two resumes, what do you mean by that?"

Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "Because I don't like you."

The man raised his eyebrows and glared, pointing to the door, "Get out, your interview is over."

Li Xiaoyao leaned back slightly, crossed one leg over the other, and with a condescending expression, said, "Your position is as an administrative officer, and you're now interviewing for the position of the marketing department's general manager. If I were you, I certainly wouldn't treat interviewees with this attitude."

Of course, the man understood what Li Xiaoyao was implying with his words. He let out a cold laugh and said, "Do you think you're going to be accepted?"

Li Xiaoyao spread his hands and asked, "Why not?"

The two beauties sitting beside them paid no attention to the exchange between the two men. They were looking down at Li Xiaoyao's resume, initially somewhat disdainful due to his overly ordinary attire, but this disdain disappeared in an instant as they reviewed his resume.

The beauty on the left was Zhuo Yi, the chairman's assistant.

The beauty on the right was Zhang Meng, the manager of the marketing department.

Zhuo Yi put down the resume and, looking at Li Xiaoyao's nonchalant face, her eyes sparkled with a hint of interest.

"Our partners at Pan-Blue International span various industries. Suppose we need to promote a celebrity recently, what kind of model do you think would be good?"

This was a question for Li Xiaoyao. If his answer satisfied them, then there would be no big problem in getting the job. But if his answer was average, no matter how good his resume looked, it would be pointless.

Li Xiaoyao didn't think much before saying directly, "Promoting celebrities has nothing to do with the position I'm interviewing for. I'm applying for the role of general manager of the marketing department, and marketing is about developing and maintaining partnerships. As for promoting and packaging celebrities, that's the job of the planning department."

Zhuo Yi didn't expect Li Xiaoyao to speak so candidly and her impression of him improved slightly.

Ten minutes later, Li Xiaoyao walked out of the conference room. Just now, Zhuo Yi and Zhang Meng had shaken hands with him and informed him that they would notify him immediately once there were interview results.

Li Xiaoyao could see from the expressions in the two beauties' eyes that they were very pleased with him; basically, the job was as good as his.

"Meng Meng, what do you think?" Zhuo Yi asked inside the conference room.

Zhang Meng nodded and said, "He's very impressive."

The man seated in the middle snorted and said, "Impressive in what way? Anyway, I don't think he is up to it."

Zhuo Yi glanced at the man without a word, then turned to the girl standing at the door and asked, "Who's next for the interview?"

The girl said, "Security department."

A few seconds later, a burly man came in.

After a few minutes, the man went out, his face full of sighs and lamentations.

Li Xiaoyao didn't rush to leave, he just sat in the hallway.

There was free air conditioning and drinks here, and outside it was nearly forty degrees Celsius; Li Xiaoyao really didn't want to go out and be scorched by the sun at this time.

Li Xiaoyao was just dozing off with his eyes squinted when, out of nowhere, the sound of an argument broke out in the corridor.

"Why can he be hired, and I can't?"

"Corruption, there must be corruption."

"What happened to fairness?"

Li Xiaoyao opened his eyes to look, and from these people's cursing and shouting, he roughly understood what was going on.

This time the security position was hiring only one person, and whether or not you were hired, you would be informed on the spot.

As a result, more than twenty men came to interview for the security position, but in the end, to everyone's surprise, a pretty boy was hired, which the applicants found unacceptable.

"Damn it, if I don't get an explanation this time, I'm not leaving."

"Shit, to think they'd let a pretty boy be a security guard."

All the women on this floor were frightened by this scene. These job applicants were not very high-quality to begin with, and being upset, they suddenly saw a group of startled women, which immediately gave rise to some evil thoughts in their minds.

"Heh heh, little sister, don't be scared, big brother won't do anything to you. Come on, let big brother give you a hug." A man walked up and reached out to touch the girl's cheek.

Seeing this, Li Xiaoyao's eyebrows immediately furrowed. This was just too outrageous.

Li Xiaoyao didn't say anything like 'stop' or other useless words. He stood up, picked up a hairpin from a girl's hair nearby, and threw it at the man.

"Whoosh!"

The hairpin pierced through the man's palm, splattering blood, and an agonizing scream erupted immediately.

"Fuck, beat this kid up!"

Other men pointed at Li Xiaoyao and yelled loudly.

Then the women on this floor saw that more than twenty strong men, as if in a frenzy, surged towards Li Xiaoyao, surrounding him in just a few seconds.

A big guy pointed at Li Xiaoyao and cursed, "You little bastard, you're looking for death, aren't you?"

Li Xiaoyao lifted his eyelids, patted the girl who had just been frightened, and said to the men, "Whatever unfair treatment you've received, it's not okay to hit a woman. I don't have many good points, but I do like to stand up against injustice."

"Yo, quite the big talker, liking to stand up against injustice, huh? Alright, let's see how you're going to do that today." The man turned vicious and shouted, "Get him, teach this kid a lesson."

There wasn't a trace of fear on Li Xiaoyao's face. He said to the girl shaking with fear, "Don't be scared, close your eyes, and when you count to 50, open them again."

The girl obediently closed her eyes and began to count softly.

Li Xiaoyao took a step forward, eyed a man rushing up to kick him, and a trace of ferocity flashed through his eyes. He forcefully kicked the man on the calf, causing the man to lose his balance, stumble forward, and face-plant onto the ground.

Without pausing, Li Xiaoyao charged into the crowd, and wherever he went, screams of pain followed. In just about half a minute, more than twenty men were all lying on the ground, wailing.

The company girls, after seeing Li Xiaoyao's terrifying skills as if straight out of an action movie, had their eyes sparkling with excitement, looking at him with faces full of admiration.
