Chapter 2198: Chapter 2198: Hello, Is This the Police? (First Update)

No way! I need a cigarette to calm my nerves!

Just a moment ago Zhang Fan was all hyped up, now his heart has gone ice cold halfway!

This flip from Mom is way too fast, right?

What the hell is this Hao Xiaomin, damn it!

"Wife, come on, let’s go calm down! This is way too scary!" Zhang Fan grabbed Weng Shuang, itching to bolt at light speed!

Meanwhile, Bai Xi pulled out her phone, tapped a few times, and her smile was bright enough to blind people!

"Xiaomin, where are you right now? Are you free tonight? Come over for dinner!"

Hao Xiaomin: ???

She froze for a second, then directly tossed away the tablet in her hand: "Aunt Bai, can I come over right now?"

"Quit with the ’Aunt Bai, Aunt Bai’, call me Mom!" Over on Bai Xi’s side, her smile got even brighter.

???

On Hao Xiaomin’s side, her body stiffened, her face went slack!

A moment later, her cheeks turned pink like rosy clouds.

Mom?

What’s that supposed to mean!

Could it be???

Bai Xi, sensing how quiet it was on Hao Xiaomin’s end, immediately added: "Ay, didn’t we say it before? You’re my goddaughter. Calling me ’godmom’ sounds too distant, doesn’t it?"

"Uh... Mom!" Hao Xiaomin’s face was flushed, voice as tiny as a mosquito!

Sitting at the doorway smoking to steady his nerves, Zhang Dongyang looked at the giggling, practically shaking-with-laughter Bai Xi, and fell into deep thought!

She’s already changed how she calls her to Mom?

Oh my dear mother, I was just talking nonsense!

This isn’t just scamming her till she’s lame, this is scamming her straight into idiocy.

But right after, Zhang Dongyang also took a deep, deep drag!

This way, that girl Xiaoyuan’s situation might not be something to worry about anymore.

But later on, if Ye Jingtian, Zhang Yuanlin, and Xiaomin’s dad find out, are we sure nothing’s going to blow up?

He had zero confidence in the line he said earlier about "as long as our son is excellent enough, it’s fine."

He flat-out does not believe this won’t end in a fight.

Emmmm!

I never said that, I, Zhang Dongyang, never said that!

When the families meet up in the future, he’s absolutely not showing his face.

Otherwise, even SS-level skills might not be enough!

Meanwhile, Zhang Fan had also called up He Yang.

The company’s base is settled, time to start recruiting.

After all, they’ve got the company, and renovation will probably take a while.

Better give the Face-Slapping Squad brothers some advance warning.

He Yang, getting the news, was instantly hyped.

"@Everyone, Brother Fan has spoken, recruitment officially starts today."

In an instant, the Face-Slapping Squad’s several group chats blew up.

"Whoa grass, Dog He Yang, you for real?"

"Spit it out, what kind of people is our Leader recruiting?"

"/cleaver/cleaver! Hurry up and drop the requirements!"

Very quickly, He Yang sorted out a Word doc and dropped it in the group.

Target positions: 1. Security staff! Two hundred people! (Veterans first! Priority for those in good physical shape! Brother Fan will personally interview!)

2. Legal team! Fifty people!

3. Music production staff! Fifty people!

4. Art! One hundred people!

5. Comics & animation planning: twenty people!

6. Screenwriters! Twenty people!

7. Programmers! One hundred people!

8. Psychological counselors! Ten people!

9. Executive chefs! Fifty people!

10. Finance! Twenty people!

Requirements: 1. High ability gets priority! 2. Difficult family situations get priority! 3. Pipi shrimps, get lost!

Salary: 50% above Capital City pay! Meals and housing included!

When they saw the last four characters, countless people almost spat blood!

What the hell does "Pipi shrimps, get lost" even mean?

Hey hey hey, are we Pipi shrimps to you?

But right after, countless people got fired up!

Fifty percent above standard pay! Meals and housing included! Those benefits! Completely off the charts!

And it’s calculated based on Capital City wages!

You gotta know, in different regions, salary differences are seriously huge.

Take Zhang Fan’s hometown, City S, for example! A security guard’s salary is only about four thousand!

But once you’re in Capital City! At least seven thousand!

Because the cost of living in Capital City is insanely high!

Just food and housing alone runs you about three thousand a month!

And that’s for the crappy kind!

But now, this means if you’re a bit frugal, you won’t be spending much at all each month!

As the saying goes, money isn’t everything, but without money you’ve got nothing!

Even a cent can trip up a hero!

"I’m writing my resume right now!"

"@He Yang! I suggest you kick the haters out of the group!"

"@He Yang, I need to report this, there are troublemakers in the group planning to chop our Leader to death!"

This is our Face-Slapping Squad’s own company, who wouldn’t want in? But the number of openings is this tiny, so whatever, let’s get a bunch of people eliminated first!

???

He Yang’s face went dark on the spot.

A whole bunch of Pipi shrimps. He Yang immediately ghosted, off to screen resumes.

At the same time, He Yang was seriously pumped.

After all, this is their own Face-Slapping Squad’s company.

And this is just the first batch!

As the company grows, they’ll be hiring more!

Because Zhang Fan bought an entire building!

You know what a whole office building means!

With just this tiny number of recruits, you couldn’t even fill the gaps between the teeth.

Wait wait wait, hold up, when did I become HR?

Right away, He Yang grabbed his phone: "Hei Bro, stop playing dead and help me pick people!"

At the same time, He Yang kicked Han Ju awake.

Because in just a few minutes, they already had seven or eight hundred emails. And he still had to verify whether those resumes were real!

Pipi shrimps are absolutely not getting hired.

Even if he’s a top hacker, soloing this would still take days!

With three hacker pros working together, twelve hours later, the hiring list was finalized.

After getting He Yang’s offers, countless people screamed out loud.

"Dad, Mom, I’m going to Capital City to work!"

???

"You little brat, what are you yelling for, it’s only five o’clock! Five in the morning!"

"Son, what nonsense are you babbling, go back to sleep!"

"Ha, you only served two years in the army, I busted my ass to land you a job with a salary of three thousand five, what’re you throwing a fit for? Someone like you, who’s gonna want you in Capital City? Stop dreaming and go to sleep!"

"What’s with the fuss, what the hell are you going to Capital City for? Play around a couple more years and then take over my little shop. Sure, it’s a bit tiring, but it beats that dead salary of yours!"

Countless people got jolted awake, grumbled a few words, then rolled over and went back to sleep!

Capital City?

They really think it’s easy to find a job in today’s world?

They seriously have no self-awareness about their own worth? Go to Capital City, you’d starve to death!

To this, that bunch in an excited frenzy bolted straight out of their bedrooms!

"Dad, I’m serious! The ones recruiting us this time are from a company our Leader set up himself! The salary is based on Capital City wages, and fifty percent higher on top of that!"

"Mom, I’m serious! And meals and housing are covered!"

With that explanation, countless parents snapped awake!

Whoa grass, benefits that good?

Who are you trying to fool! They know perfectly well how useless their own brat is!

Meals and housing included? They’ve never even heard of a company in Capital City that covers food and lodging.

This isn’t some pyramid scheme, is it?

No no no! Call the cops, call the cops right now!

"Hello, 110? I want to report a crime, my son’s been duped by pyramid scammers!"
