Ring!

The school bell rang.

Xia Xu and Tang Youxin left the school together after finalizing the 'contract' at noon. They then called a taxi and rushed to the Brilliant Human Resources Market.

But this time, he did not go directly to the talent market, instead he turned into a residential area.

This residential area was not purely a residential area. Instead, the upper floors were used as residences, while the first floor was used as a storefront. There were supermarkets, cooking oil stores, vegetable stores, snack booths, bookstores, grocery stores, and so on. The layout was chaotic.

However, the business of these shops was usually not very good. There were basically no people in the entire residential area. Their businesses were all taken away by the street facing the talent market. There were very few people in the residential area.

Perhaps because of the unreasonable layout, the roads between the buildings were rarely illuminated by the sun, making them look quiet and cold.

After passing through the alleyways, Xia Xu led Tang Youxin to a storefront with white glass doors.

The shop was not big, only less than twenty square meters. Although it was a streetfront shop, it was actually just a residential street. Judging from the deserted environment, there was no business here.

"Are we here?"

Tang Youxin looked at the situation inside the glass door curiously.

This place used to be a noodle restaurant, but now there were many tables and chairs scattered around. Fortunately, there was not much oil and grease, so the walls looked quite new.

"Yes, your mission today is to clean up this place."

Xia Xu took out the key and opened the door. The door slid open like a window.

He had already rented this place.

Although the surrounding area was a little desolate, this was not important. He did not really want to open a store, he just wanted to use it as a place to stay and a place to fool outsiders.

If he could encounter a high-level talent, he naturally couldn't miss it. These were geniuses that could only be encountered by luck, and if he missed it, he might not be able to encounter them in the future.

However, no matter how strong his bluffing ability was, recruiting people required capital. This capital did not only refer to wealth, but also a nominal and organizational framework.

In ancient times, these people could be farmers raised by landlords, generals recruiting soldiers, and emperors recruiting capable officials. But in modern times, there was only one way—to start a company.

Of course, this was only referring to the basic requirements of ordinary people. However, secret organizations, charity organizations, and governments were not counted.

Xia Xu didn't have time to register a real company, and he didn't have much money either. It was fine to meet his own needs, but it was too difficult to open a proper company, so he just rented a random store and hung a fake signboard.

"Oh, okay."

After Tang Youxin heard Xia Xu's instructions, she nodded obediently. After seeing that she was really needed to do something, she was relieved. After putting down the burden in her heart, she showed a trace of liveliness and took the initiative to ask Xia Xu curiously, "Can you tell me what shop you are opening?"

"You'll know soon."

Xia Xu smiled and let her go in first, but he didn't follow her. Instead, he turned around and went to the bookshop opposite.

There were one or two such shops in every district. The main business was printing leaflets and making advertising light boxes, but the most common business was actually photocopying and printing documents.

"Boss, is my signboard ready?"

Xia Xu greeted the boss with a smile.

The owner of the illustration shop was a skinny young man wearing glasses. He looked like a homebody who did business half-heartedly. He usually hid behind his computer to play games, but when he heard Xia Xu's shout, he stood up.

"It's done, take it yourself."

The boss pointed to the corner near the door.

There was a lightbox signage with blue background and white words written on it.

[Nine Suns Consulting Firm]

There were also a few lines of words below the words. They were listed services like emotional consultation, business consultation, and psychological consultation.

This was the shop sign that Xia Xu had made two days ago, and there was also a business license.

Of course, they were all fake. The company wasn't registered at all, and the business license was made from photoshop.

In any case, he was just using it for the time being to lure a subordinate to be an 'investigator'.

Apparently, many detective companies in the country were consultancy companies, which were used to recruit people. These small shops usually did not have business licenses as well.

"You will be responsible for packing and cleaning up the place. Throw away all these broken tables and chairs. I have to go out to do some work later, and when I'm done, I will come and pick you up and send you home."

After installing the light box on the door, Xia Xu walked into the shop and found a backpack as he instructed Tang Youxin.

Placed inside the backpack was a suit.

He couldn't help it, his face was too immature, and he didn't look reliable in his school uniform at all. It was definitely impossible for him to recruit people like this, so he specially bought a suit the next day.

As the saying goes, clothes maketh the man. A suit was rarely worn as a casual outfit in the country, and it was often used in more serious occasions. After wearing it, it would cover up his immaturity as a high school student.

In addition, Xia Xu was originally an adult with a mature mind and temperament. Although his face still looked young, at least he did not give off the feeling of a kid. He might even be praised as young and promising.

"How is it? Aren't I handsome?"

Xia Xu hid behind a table and changed his school uniform into a suit. He then turned his head and looked at Tang Youxin.

Tang Youxin was probably secretly glancing at him just now. After seeing him look over, she quickly looked away, lowered her head, bent over, and pretended to clean the shop. However, her face turned red, and she did not answer the questions.

Fortunately, Xia Xu, who was in a hurry, only asked casually. After seeing that Tang Youxin was shy and did not answer, he did not ask further. He quickly left and rushed to the Brilliant Human Resources Market.

"Really handsome~"

When the shop regained its silence, a timid voice suddenly sounded. The muttering was as soft as the buzz of a mosquito.

Obviously, there was only one person left in the shop who could speak.

In all honesty, Xia Xu's appearance was not bad.

Although he was not shockingly handsome, he was at least handsome. Although his body was not strong, his frame was tall. His tall figure suited his suit, making him look even more impressive.

But most importantly, was still his temperament.

The children of poor families matured early. Tang Youxin's personality was introverted, but she was much more mature than her peers. She couldn't help but feel her classmates being childish when she saw their behavior.

But Xia Xu was different. Not only did she not feel he was childish, but she also felt a 'mature' temperament similar to that of a father or a brother.

'The handsome uncle type that Lingling and the others always talked about might be referring to people like Xia Xu…'

A thought echoed in Tang Youxin's mind, then her cheeks flushed.

Although she didn't deliberately eavesdrop, she could still hear some female classmates discussing television dramas and romance novels. There were always scenes of girls falling in love with handsome uncles.

Back then, she couldn't understand why an oily and greasy uncle would still be handsome? Moreover, liking an uncle was too strange.

Now she seemed to understand.
