Chapter 6

" Wang Shuaibo, male, 28 years old, graduated from Tianjing University's Software Engineering Department, proficient in databases, web development, programming, and project management. He has worked as a senior engineer at companies like Jiudu, Daogeo, and Latte, leading the development and management of multiple large-scale projects... Huh, from the perspective of his resume, he is indeed flawless. So I'll test you with a practical problem. I have a database error issue here. What do you think the solution might be?"

In front of the desk, Xiong Fei, the balding, pot-bellied director of the technology department at Yinxun Company, looked coldly at the young man who had come for the interview and posed his question.

As someone who had risen through the ranks at Yinxun Company through self-study rather than formal education, Xiong Fei naturally harbored a prejudice against those who graduated from prestigious universities and jumped from company to company seeking opportunities. During each recruitment interview, he always had a series of tricky questions to make these so-called elites feel ashamed.

The database issue he had in hand was a recent disaster caused by an idiot within the company, which had led to the collapse of the entire internal system. He and his team had worked overtime over the weekend to come up with a preliminary solution. It was naturally impossible for a 28-year-old newcomer to figure it out in the short time of an interview. However, it was perfect for testing the overconfident young people.

Wang Shuaibo confidently took the tablet Xiong Fei handed him, tapped the screen for a while, and then scanned the code on the screen rapidly. After a moment, his expression grew increasingly serious, and he fell silent.

Xiong Fei smiled slightly, "How about it? Do you understand?"

In his view, the fact that Wang Shuaibo could look serious in such a short time already indicated exceptional ability—most programmers wouldn't even know where the problem lay.

"From what I can see, the person in charge of quantum analysis here is a beginner. Judging from the application of this analytical formula, they must have graduated from Huaxia Polytechnic University. Tsk, it seems they are still using that idiotic textbook written by the vice president."

After these words, Xiong Fei nearly jumped out of his chair. The troublemaker was indeed a top student from Huaxia Polytechnic University, and he had indeed misused the analytical formula based on the vice president's textbook. However, this conclusion had only been reached after two sleepless nights of discussion and a thorough review of the company's internal system. Could this Wang Shuaibo have understood everything just by looking at it for a few moments?!

In fact, Wang Shuaibo, or Master Wang, did not have such supernatural abilities. He had simply investigated what the techies at Yinxun Company were working on before the interview and copied their chat records, which led to this miraculous effect.

Xiong Fei, at 40 years old, if asked whether he believed in miracles, would of course say yes. There were indeed prodigies in the world who could develop a super-large management system on their own, and he had been fortunate enough to meet a few such geniuses, all of whom were well-known figures in the industry. Even if they were young, they would be given absolute importance—someone else would use them if you didn't. As for companies like Jiudu and Daogeo, as super-large enterprises at the galactic level, there was no reason for them to let such talent slip away. If their conditions were not good enough for Wang Shuaibo to consider... then a rising star like Yinxun Company would have even less chance of retaining him.

"So, what do you want by coming to Yinxun?"

Xiong Fei's voice was already tinged with a hint of respect. Looking at the young man's rough stubble, receding hairline, and oily forehead, he saw the brilliance of a genius. For such a genius to be willing to come to Yinxun... could it mean that Yinxun was truly destined for a bright future?

"Oh, I'm here to retire. I worked too hard at my previous companies, so I want to find a place with good benefits and not much work. I've looked at Yinxun's latest products, and while the technical content isn't very high, the creativity is rare. I think it would be great to slack off and still get a good salary, so I came here."

Xiong Fei, who had to work overtime for free every week, was speechless.

"I know you must be thinking I'm wasting my talent, but I believe my talent is for making work easier, not for living a more exhausting life. I hope my hairline will still be intact when I'm 40. I believe you can understand this wish."

Xiong Fei, whose hairline was long gone, was speechless.

"In short, am I qualified?"

Xiong Fei wanted to tear the man in front of him to pieces, but he gritted his teeth and couldn't bring himself to say no.

After a while, Xiong Fei took a deep breath and finally clicked the "Agree to Hire" button in the interview module of the office system. Then he looked up and said, "You've passed this round, but the interview isn't over. According to company procedures, hiring a senior engineer isn't something I can decide alone..."

"I know," the lazy young man said. "There's still the CEO interview, right? Yinxun Company always emphasizes the importance of talent, and every senior engineer must be personally reviewed by President Wen, right? Fine, I saw the CEO's office on my way in, so I can go there myself. No need to escort me."

With that, the young man got up and walked towards the door on his own, turning back at the doorway, "I heard your company's CEO is beautiful and unmarried. Do you think I have a chance?"

Xiong Fei's eyes bulged like copper bells, and his yellowed teeth almost shattered.

"You, what did you say!?"

The young man scratched his oily hair, "To be honest, no matter how much I slack off at work, it's not as easy as being kept by a rich woman. You're a company veteran, so you must know President Wen's preferences. Do you think she likes my type of genius?"

Xiong Fei felt a wave of dizziness and anger. The young man's shameless words were like a hammer, making his blood boil.

"President Wen... already has a boyfriend."

The genius Wang Shuaibo chuckled, "President Wen is young, wealthy, and a successful figure in high society. One boyfriend isn't enough, is it?"

Xiong Fei's jaw almost dropped, "..."

"Even if it doesn't lead to a long-term relationship, a casual affair would be nice. To be honest, I've been single for 28 years, and sometimes I do think about women."

"Go tell her yourself if you have the guts!" Xiong Fei was both angry and afraid, his whole body trembling as he watched the workflow in the office system move to President Wen. He wished he could cut off his own hand for clicking the mouse!

How could he let such a scoundrel see President Wen!

Xiong Fei didn't want to say another word to this shameless person and hoped he would be beaten by the security guards on his way to the top-floor CEO's office.

Wang Shuaibo, however, confidently patted his chest, "Alright, Director Xiong, wait for my good news. If things go well, I'll put in a good word for you to reduce your overtime." He then looked at Xiong Fei's receding hairline with pity, "Working overtime and staying up late is bad for your health. Director Xiong, you don't have children yet, do you?"

"Get out!"

Half a day later.

"Gentlemen, I have successfully infiltrated the enemy's ranks."

In a private room at a cafe, Master Wang calmly walked in and tossed a new work ID onto the table in front of Franklin and the others. Inside the plastic cover, Master Wang's hair was oily and messy, his hairline high, his eyes half-open, and his face pale, looking like a drug addict. Below the photo, it read: "Wang Shuaibo, Senior Engineer, Yinxun Company Technology Department."

"..."

The silence in the room clearly reflected everyone's shock. Platinum, who was investigating the management structure of the Wen Group, Ray, who had just checked the backgrounds of the cafeteria staff at Yinxun Company, and Diamond, who had commissioned a black market merchant to forge a Huaxia citizen identity, all looked at Master Wang in disbelief.

"What are you up to!?"

"How did you manage to get in like this!?"

Getting a job at Yinxun Company through an interview wasn't a complicated plan, but to succeed in just one day was terrifying!

It took a while for everyone to digest their shock. Then the young girl from Sakura Island asked, "Didn't you say you could get a photo with Wen Yin? Now you only have a work ID?"

"Photo? Here it is." Master Wang, prepared for this, pulled out his trump card—a color photo printed from an old Polaroid.

In the photo, Master Wang was grinning lazily, a stark contrast to his usual sharp image. Next to him was Wen Yin, the chairman and CEO of Yinxun Company, looking amused and embarrassed.

They stood very close, shoulders touching, with Master Wang making a negative-cool V sign with his right hand and shockingly draping his left arm over Wen Yin's shoulder.

Seeing the photo, Ray's jaw almost dropped, "Is this photoshopped?"

"Joking, am I that kind of despicable person!" As he spoke, Master Wang carefully pulled a long strand of hair from his sleeve, "Here, I even got a strand of Miss Wen's hair. You can smell it to see if it's real!"

After saying that, Master Wang carefully put the hair away.

Ray was speechless, "I don't know if it's real, but I know you're a bit of a freak!"

Platinum questioned, "As a stranger, how could you get so close to Wen Yin without Feng Yin interfering? Where was he?"

Master Wang asked matter-of-factly, "Where else? Do you think who took this photo?"

"..." Platinum almost choked, "You actually had Feng Yin take the photo for you?!"

"What's wrong with that? Logically, as a newly arrived top talent, isn't it reasonable to ask for a photo with the CEO? And at the time, there were only the three of us in the CEO's office. If he didn't take the photo, should I have taken a selfie? You guys always think like assassins. Actually, Feng Yin is quite easy to talk to, so later I took a photo with him too..."

Franklin asked, "Did all of this not raise Feng Yin's suspicions?"

Master Wang said, "Of course it did. Feng Yin never trusts anyone. He looks at everyone in Wen Yin's office with suspicion. But a weak and harmless person like me doesn't raise his guard."

"So, how did you feel about being so close to both Wen Yin and Feng Yin?"

Master Wang rubbed his chin, "I can only say that Miss Wen lives up to her reputation. She is even more beautiful in person than in photos and videos, especially her bust, which is even larger than the data shows. The super soldier's hands are not to be underestimated."
