Chapter 84: Chapter 84 You Need to Be More Confident

In the blink of an eye.

Three days have already passed.

“Xiaojun, I’m leaving. Remember to take good care of yourself when you’re alone. Also, I’ve arranged everything for you at school, so listen to the teachers, okay?”

“I’ve bought you new clothes, pants, shirts, and jackets. Wear them as I’ve matched them for you. You can’t be so careless anymore; you’re almost 18, an adult now. You should present yourself cleanly when you go out to make a good first impression at least.”

“I’ll rush back before the Dragon Gate Examination. Remember to take care of yourself during this time, and also be careful of my dad.”

Wang Qingya was standing in front of the car with her suitcase, giving countless instructions to Xu Lingjun reluctantly.

She seemed just like a worried old mom about to go on a journey, unable to rest easy with the tall lad in front of her who was taller than her.

But hearing that last line, Wang Tiancheng wasn’t happy and complained, “What do you mean be careful of me? I won’t sell Xiaojun, will I?”

Wang Qingya rolled her eyes, glared at Wang Tiancheng, and said, “I’m afraid you’ll lead him astray. Xiaojun is a good kid, and if I find out anything’s changed about him when I come back, I won’t let you off.”

“Don’t worry. Once you’re gone, the two of us will be so carefree.”

Wang Tiancheng snatched the suitcase from Wang Qingya’s hand and forcibly shoved it into the trunk of the special car, saying, “Go on, stop being an eyesore here.”

Wang Qingya gave a humph, got into the car, waved bye to Xu Lingjun, and the car sped off in a cloud of dust.

“Ah, finally, she’s gone. I never knew my daughter could be so nagging.”

Wang Tiancheng breathed a sigh of relief, gave Xu Lingjun a glance, and asked, “By the way, Xiaojun, do you need me to send a driver to take you to school?”

“School?”

Xu Lingjun blinked, confused, and asked, “What am I going to school for?”

“Don’t you need to attend classes?”

“Actually, Sister Yaya tutored me privately.”

Xu Lingjun smiled and said, “Sister Yaya and I have delved deeply into the subjects. Of course, I need to go to school, but everyday classes don’t mean much to me now. I don’t want to waste time there.”

“Deeply? How deep?”

Wang Tiancheng asked with a mischievous grin.

Xu Lingjun replied, “Very in-depth but straightforward. Sister Yaya is a great teacher; her lessons are so vivid, and I always learn a lot.”

“Oh, I see.”

Wang Tiancheng hesitated for a moment.

He still said, “But Xiaojun, there’s something Father Wang must advise you on in advance.”

“Yeah, please go ahead.”

Wang Tiancheng said earnestly, “Remember, although you may find many things easy to do now, you are grown up, no longer needing adults to supervise you while you sleep. Sleep as much as you like, that’s fine, but you have to know your limits and not overdo it, okay? After all, you are only eighteen.”

“I understand.”

Xu Lingjun smiled and said, “I actually have a sense of what I should focus on.”

Anyway, with my current grades, I just need to show up for the exam day.

I’m only borrowing their venue, not taking up their quota, so there’s no need to make myself noticeable.

Besides, my time is precious too.

“Yes, you’re always reliable. I trust you know what you’re doing.”

Wang Tiancheng patted Xu Lingjun’s shoulder with a laugh, “Alright, I’m going to the office now. You have breakfast at home, and tell the cook what you want. I’ve put some Salvia Paste in the fridge for you, a great tonic, remember to eat it.”

Xu Lingjun nodded, “Okay.”

As he said this, a thought suddenly struck him, “Father Wang, there’s still more than a month before the Dragon Gate Examination. Whether I go to school or not doesn’t matter much these days, but staying at home all the time is pretty boring. How about… you find me a temporary job at your company?”

Wang Tiancheng’s eyes lit up with a smile, “Are you planning to inspect your own territory in advance? That’s what I like about you, always having a far-sighted vision, just like me.”

Xu Lingjun said, “But could we not reveal our relationship? I don’t want to interact with them using an overly privileged connection.”

Mecha and Transformation Capsule can both be Talent Source, but those fantasy weapons can’t… Does that mean the fundamental source of the world belongs to the Technology Side? Is that why magical weapons don’t work?

But Mecha is okay, and things like Transformation Capsule already completely defy the laws of scientific conservation, don’t they?

There must be some details I don’t know about… Hmm, just right to get a deep understanding of the differences between these and other things.

Wang Tiancheng praised once again, “Are you trying to get a firsthand look at the most authentic company situation? Xiaojun, you’re more suited to be a leader than I imagined, but since you want to come to our company, we’ve got to play by the rules. How about your salary and working hours?”

Xu Lingjun vaguely said, “I’m not really concerned about money…”

Wang Tiancheng insisted, “It’s necessary, a business must be conducted properly!”

Xu Lingjun tentatively asked, “Then… ten thousand?”

Wang Tiancheng frowned, “Ten thousand? Is that all you’re aspiring for? I just praised you, and now you’ve lost confidence again. Remember, talent needs confidence; Xiaojun, you can be more confident, you’re not a janitor, you’re my Xiaojun.”

“Then… a hundred thousand?”

“One million, bonuses not included, I think you’re worth that much.”

Wang Tiancheng seriously said, “I told you, this is official business. Let’s make things clear, the internship monthly salary is one million, and after one month you get a regular position, plus an additional 5% shareholding.”

“But I won’t even be here a month as the Dragon Gate Examination is coming.”

Xu Lingjun said, troubled, “I might not work for long.”

“No problem. Our company is very tolerant of talent, no matter where you are, as long as you can clock in every day.”

Wang Tiancheng said, “This isn’t a big issue, I’ll equip you with a time card device so you can clock in every day.”

He laughed, “Come on, Father Wang will take you to buy some more mature clothes. Xiaoya’s clothes are great for dates but not suitable for work. Follow me, let’s show the little ones just how handsome their future boss is.”

He put his arm around Xu Lingjun’s shoulder and headed to his extended limo.

Meanwhile…

At Yunmu High School.

In the homeroom teacher’s office.

Su Huanqing held a pen, absent-mindedly doodling in the air over the new student’s file.

In the past few days…

All the students Qingzhou College had prearranged came to study, and she assigned them to different classes based on their individual grades and temporary simulation.

But the one she had been thinking about all along, Xu Lingjun…

Still hadn’t shown up.

“It’s been three days, why hasn’t he come yet?”

Su Huanqing was filled with yearning as she gazed into the distance, feeling like she was about to turn into a “Yearning Stone”. She devised countless plans, determined to at least make Xu Lingjun know when to retreat.

But the other party was so uncooperative and did not fall into her trap at all…

She wanted to ask Wang Qingya why he hadn’t come yet but worried that appearing too eager would let Xiaoya see through her plot, so she could only wait bitterly.

That feeling of having everything prepared except for the eastern wind was like suddenly stopping at a crucial moment when guests arrived unexpectedly, creating an intolerable situation.

Meanwhile, Zong Xiaoping was also troubled.

“Who on earth is it?”

Qingzhou City assigned eleven students to Fangyi City, four girls and seven boys.

First, eliminate the females.

Seven men… who on earth could it be?

Zong Xiaoping was anxiously pulling at his hair, fearing he’d identify the wrong person. He wanted to ask Su Huanqing but also worried about touching upon her hurt feelings. He wanted to resolve this silently to win the teacher’s favor.

“Who on earth is it.”

Zong Xiaoping called out in frustration.
