After a brief moment of silence, the two men smiled awkwardly at each other.

Xu Guodong was the first to speak.

“President Yu, I’ll pack my belongings and move my workspace outside. Please let me know if you have any questions.”

Yu Tian waved his hands. 

“There’s no need for that. Just continue with what you were working on. Oh right, why don’t you tell me more about the company?”

Upon realizing that this boy was probably a young master of a rich family who was sent here based on a false reputation, Xu Guodong let out a sigh of relief. After that, he quickly began the introduction.

“President Yu, Xinghe Technology isn’t only the largest technology company in Linhai, but also in the entire Dongshan Province. Our main business includes developing high-end technology software and hardware, whereas our secondary business includes gaming and virtual reality development. The company is currently valued at 10 billion yuan and is steadily rising. We expect our market value to exceed 50 billion yuan by next year. I’ll hand over the complete data to you later. I’ll also instruct the finance department to report to you.”

Yu Tian was taken aback.

He gulped before asking, “Do you mean that I’ve just become the president of a company that’s worth 10 billion yuan?”

“That’s right, President Yu. Your net worth is currently 10 billion yuan!” 

Xu Guodong replied with a chuckle. It was clear to him that this young man was not here to take over his position.

“Alright, proceed with your work. I’m going to take a look around,” said Yu Tian as he waved his hands. Then, he left the office. It was all an effort to hide his excitement.

Yu Tian immediately headed for the restrooms. He needed some cold water to calm himself down.

Upon arriving at the five-star restroom, Yu Tian could not help but think to himself, ‘Not bad! It seems like I’ve been given a second chance at life!’

After splashing some cold water on his face, Yu Tian looked into the mirror and smoothed out his hair.

Before leaving, he noticed that one of the sinks was slightly dirty. Since Yu Tian was obsessed with cleanliness, he grabbed some tissues and began cleaning the sink.

At the same time, a slightly chubby man exited a restroom stall. He stared at Yu Tian for a few seconds before patting the boy on his shoulders.

“Hey, aren’t you Yu Tian, the gifted top student? What brings you here?”

Yu Tian was surprised to find his university roommate here. 

“Gang’zi1! What a coincidence! Are you an employee here as well?”

“That’s right!” 

Li Henggang looked really proud while wearing his suit. He twitched his brows into a frown and asked, “Is this your first day?”

Yu Tian nodded. 

“You’re doing pretty well.”

“Yes, I’m a supervisor and my monthly salary is 10,000 yuan! You…” 

Henggang raised one corner of his lips smugly. 

“There’s no way I can compete with a top student like you.” 

The sarcasm in his voice was apparent.

Yu Tian was about to say something humble but the other party started mocking him. 

“So, you end up as a janitor.”

Li Henggang almost burst out laughing, but he composed himself and turned around to leave.

Suddenly, a familiar silhouette appeared in front of his eyes.

“Zhang Linlin?” 

‘What a small world,’ Yu Tian thought to himself. He did not expect to bump into two of his classmates in one day and at the same time.

The woman was shocked, but that feeling was immediately replaced by disdain once she saw the shabby clothes Yu Tian was wearing.

“Are you here for an interview?” she asked coldly.

When she saw Henggang walking out of the restroom, she quickly grabbed the man’s arm. 

“Hubby…” she said in a cutesy voice.

Hubby…

Yu Tian felt sick.

This woman was really good at acting.

Back then, she took advantage of Yu Tian for about a month. He ran around to complete menial tasks for her. Yu Tian felt silly upon thinking about his own naivety.

“Oh right, Linlin is my girlfriend. I helped her to get this job. We’ve also moved in together.” 

The woman pretended to blush as Henggang boasted. 

“Linlin, Yu Tian has just been hired as a janitor.”

Upon hearing that, Linlin quickly covered her nose and mouth with her hand. She looked at Yu Tian with disgust. 

“No wonder this place stinks. You did not clean it properly! How gross!”

Yu Tian was speechless. 

Birds of the same feather flock together!

She added, “Luckily, I didn’t get together with you. Yu Tian, who knows how many toilet bowls you’ll have to clean to support my lifestyle!”

“Haha, he probably needs to use all six months of his salary to buy you a handbag.” 

Henggang laughed as he placed his hand around the woman’s waist. It was an attempt to show off.

“Yu Tian, why don’t you beg my hubby to help you get a better job? You’re such a disgrace to Linhai University,” said Linlin in a disdainful manner. 

“He’s the top student but ended up as a janitor. What a shame. However, if you’re willing to clean my shoes, I’ll put in a few good words for you. That way, you could get a better position.” 

Henggang extended his right foot forward. There was some yellow fluid on the top of his shoe.

Clearly, Henggang was enjoying himself. He never expected to have a chance to bully Linhai University’s top student.

Then, he excitedly took out his phone. He wanted to record a video of Yu Tian cleaning his shoe and share it on his social media.

“Come on, clean his shoe. That way, you don’t have to scrub toilet bowls anymore!” 

Linlin said happily. She was just as mean as Henggang.

Yu Tian glared at both of them. Just as he was thinking of how to punish them, an innocent-looking young woman who was sitting in the interview area walked over.

“How could you do this? What a disgrace to Linhai University!” 

The innocent-looking young woman said with flushed cheeks.

All three of them were stunned.

The young woman grabbed Yu Tian’s arm and shouted at the other two, “What’s wrong with being a janitor? A job is a job! Everyone knows that Yu Tian was the pride of Linhai University. He might be struggling now, but I believe he’ll bounce back one day!”

Yu Tian was well-known at Linhai University for his intelligence and capability. Furthermore, he had won numerous awards for the university.

However, Yu Tian really could not remember this young woman who was fearlessly standing up for him.

“Who do you think you are?” 

Linlin was furious. She glanced at the woman’s outfit. 

The woman was dressed in normal clothes while carrying a branded purse worthed a few thousand yuan. 

“Tsk, you’re carrying a purse that’s worth a few thousand dollars. Yet, you’re hunting for a job? Clearly, you’re a sugar baby! I can’t believe you have the audacity to chastise others.”

“Linlin, she did say a job is a job. We work tirelessly while all she does is get in bed and spread her legs.” 

Henggang looked at the woman in a disgusted manner.

“That’s too much.” 

Yu Tian was upset.

Henggang replied arrogantly, “So? By the way, I’m going to fire you!” 

Then, he pointed at the young woman and added, “The company will never hire you as well! Now, get lost!” 

“You’re firing me? Haha, are you sure you can do that? I can sack the both of you with a snap of my fingers.”

Yu Tian laughed. 

Just because he did not retaliate, these people thought they could mess with him.

“Yu Tian, this is Xinghe Technology, not Linhai University! I’m the boss around here!” 

Henggang said loudly with confidence.

A faint smile appeared on Yu Tian’s face. He tilted his head and said, “Oh, are you the president of this company?”
