The romantic scenery in the kitchen lasted for a long time, and the pot of slowly simmered premium mandarin fish slice porridge thankfully did not burn at the bottom.
Su Bai finished his breakfast with satisfaction, while Chen Yusheng leaned against the dining chair with a rosy complexion and slightly weak legs. Under that oversized white shirt, the torn black silk stockings were completely ruined.
"I have classes this morning, so I will head to school first." Su Bai wiped his mouth and stood up.
Chen Yusheng nodded obediently. "Mm, drive safely on the way."
The morning class was a large lecture, with all the students in the department gathered in the tiered classroom.
Su Bai drove his Koenigsegg into Jiangcheng University. The deafening roar of the engine and the sci-fi-like smooth body of the car instantly attracted the eyes of all the university students along the way.
"Holy shit! Since when did our school have a top-tier billionaire like this?"
"Are you blind? Look at the license plate, that is God Bai's car! Besides him, who else could afford a supercar worth tens of millions!"
Passersby gasped, whispering continuously, their eyes full of awe and envy.
Su Bai had long been accustomed to these gazes. He parked the car in his exclusive parking spot and walked into the lecture hall with a calm pace.
The classroom was originally a bit noisy, but the moment Su Bai walked in, the volume unconsciously dropped. As the most legendary figure in Jiangcheng University today, the aura of a high-ranking person he possessed, even when just wearing ordinary casual clothes, suffocated his peers.
Su Bai walked straight to the back row and sat down next to his roommates, Chu Mingzhe and Xue Tao.
It was an extremely boring filler class, and the old professor on the podium was reading from the PowerPoint slides word for word.
Su Bai leaned back in his chair out of boredom, took out his phone, and scrolled through it casually. He had long achieved true freedom in the school. Even if he did not show up for this class, the professor would never dare to deduct his participation points. This was the privilege brought by absolute status and wealth.
After sitting through the filler class, Su Bai glanced at the time and remembered that today happened to be the day White Night Holdings was holding its public spring recruitment.
White Night Holdings was now a behemoth. It not only owned Shengxi Technology, First Generation Maternity and Baby, and Star River Dance Troupe, but it had also invested in a large number of startups. With the rapid expansion of its business lines, the company urgently needed a large number of high-end talents.
Since he was free anyway, Su Bai decided to go to the recruitment site to take a look.
The recruitment location was set in a Grade-A office building in the Jiangcheng CBD. White Night Holdings had directly rented out an entire floor to serve as a temporary interview center.
When Su Bai walked into the main doors of the interview center with his hands in his pockets and a leisurely pace, the administrative girls at the front desk did not recognize him at first.
But soon, several White Night Holdings executives in charge of this recruitment happened to walk out of the conference room.
Leading them was Wang Qiang, the director of the Human Resources Department. He had been navigating the corporate world for over a decade and had served as an executive in Fortune 500 companies. He was poached by Su Bai at a heavy price.
Wang Qiang was holding a thick stack of resumes and instructing his deputy next to him. When he looked up, his eyes met Su Bai's.
Smack.
The folder in Wang Qiang's hands fell straight to the floor. His whole body shuddered violently, and his originally rosy face instantly turned pale.
"President... President Su?!"
Wang Qiang cried out involuntarily, his voice carrying an unconcealable tremble. The executives behind him followed his gaze, and when they saw clearly that the person arriving was Su Bai, everyone gasped, looking at each other with their pupils quaking.
This was the true behind-the-scenes big boss of White Night Holdings!
Despite Su Bai's young age and the fact that he was still a college freshman, the terrifying cash flow he controlled and his decisive, ruthless working style had long spread among the company's upper management. This master usually never came to the company; why did he suddenly drop into the recruitment site today without any warning?
Could it be that he was here for a surprise inspection? Or was he dissatisfied with their recent work?
For a moment, these high-level white-collar elites who could summon the wind and rain in the corporate world stood before Su Bai like elementary school students who had done something wrong, cold sweat rolling down their foreheads.
"Hello, President Su!"
The several executives bowed ninety degrees in unison. Their voices were so loud that even the applicants at the other end of the corridor turned their heads, looking in shock at the young man who could make a group of executives bow so subserviently.
Looking at their trembling, walking-on-thin-ice appearance, Su Bai could not help but smile. He knew what his current status and position meant to these corporate workers.
"Alright, do not be nervous," Su Bai waved his hand, his tone easygoing. "I was just passing by and decided to take a look. You guys do what you need to do, do not mind me."
Hearing Su Bai say this, Wang Qiang and the others let out a long breath as if granted a general amnesty, but the shirts on their backs were already soaked with cold sweat.
"President Su, since you are here, how about... going to the main interview room to guide our work?" Wang Qiang probed cautiously, afraid of upsetting the boss.
"Sure, I will go in and take a casual look." Su Bai nodded.
The main interview room was a spacious and brightly lit conference room.
Behind the long conference table sat three interviewers, all of whom were department heads at White Night Holdings.
Su Bai did not make a fuss. He walked directly to the very edge of the interviewers' seats, pulled out a chair, and sat down.
Seeing the big boss actually presiding in person, the lead interviewer was so frightened he almost bounced out of his chair, but under the signal of Su Bai's eyes, he could only bite the bullet and continue hosting the interview.
"Call the next applicant in," Su Bai said lightly.
Soon, the conference room door was pushed open.
A young man wearing a crisp suit and gold-rimmed glasses walked in. He looked to be twenty-seven or twenty-eight, and his demeanor exuded a strong elite vibe.
"Hello, interviewers. My name is Lin Yu, and I am applying for the position of Senior Investment Analyst at your company."
The young man handed over his resume full of confidence and then began to talk eloquently.
Su Bai looked at this interviewee with great interest.
Facing several executives with powerful auras, this person did not show the slightest stage fright. He had various financial models and market analysis data at his fingertips, and his logic was extremely rigorous.
While listening to his presentation, Su Bai casually picked up his resume from the table and flipped through it.
He would not have known if he had not looked, but one look gave him a start.
This young man named Lin Yu had graduated with his bachelor's degree from a top domestic C9 League university, and for his master's, he went straight to an Ivy League school for further studies. After graduating, he worked at a well-known investment bank on Wall Street for three years and participated in several merger and acquisition cases worth over a hundred million dollars.
This resume could simply be described as glittering with gold. In the past, he would definitely be a hot commodity that major financial institutions fought over.
Su Bai raised an eyebrow, put down Lin Yu's resume, and casually picked up a stack of resumes of applicants who had not been interviewed yet.
He flipped through them quickly.
Combined bachelor's and master's degrees from Tsinghua and Peking University, returnees from overseas Ivy League schools, P8-level senior engineers from major tech giants, scientific research bigwigs holding multiple patents...
The educational backgrounds and experiences on these resumes were so luxurious that it left one speechless.
Su Bai noticed that the overall caliber of the candidates was incredibly high. It seemed the current job market was rather bleak.
't think I'm that capable, I'm just trying my best to stay alive. I've been kind all my life, never did anything bad, yet worldly suffering spared me not one bit. The human world is a nice place, but I won't come back in my next life. A kind young man, who wanted to just get by singing, but through repeated deceits and betrayals, has gone down an irredeemable path.
