No big company would hire someone with body odor — of course, they wouldn’t tell him, "You have a body odor, our company doesn’t want you."

At most, they would say, "Your major doesn’t match what we are hiring for, you should leave."

After he had a falling out with Wang Qying and left the pawnshop, he sent out resumes everywhere, visiting countless companies, but no one was willing to hire him.

He couldn’t figure out the reason. After all, he graduated from the prestigious Jinling University. Why could his classmates easily find good jobs, but he couldn’t?

Even, he no longer had any requirements for a job. He was willing to do anything, as long as the salary was two to three thousand yuan a month, enough to make ends meet. But even so, he still couldn’t find a job.

Lifting his arm, he placed it near his nose and sniffed, but he couldn’t smell anything. He heard that people can’t smell their own body odor.

No, he had to find someone to ask clearly, was there really something unpleasant about him? What that fat man said was unreliable... He wasn’t a girl, how could he be fragrant and soft?

Watching Yang Kang walk down the stairs in a dark blue shirt, Guo Fatso whispered to Wang Qying, "Young Master Wang, you were right, all the girls from Jinling University combined don’t look as good as the young prince."

"Huh..." Mo Ming couldn’t help but chuckle.

"Fatso, what are you talking nonsense about?" Yang Kang said with some anger.

"Heh..." Guo Fatso didn’t care.

"Wait until I come back, I’ll settle accounts with you." Yang Kang said.

"Young Prince, even when you’re angry, you can’t intimidate anyone," Mo Ming sighed, "Your eyes have no killing power at all."

He admitted that the first time he met Yang Kang, he only thought he looked handsome, nothing special. But the last time he came to Ruyi Hall, Guo Fatso forced Yang Kang to change clothes. When Yang Kang came out, he did feel a moment of surprise.

Today was the same. As the saying goes, people rely on clothes, and Buddhas rely on gold. This was the truth. Changing into a new outfit, combined with his naturally handsome appearance, naturally made him even more captivating.

"Boss Mo, I’ll ride in your car!" Yang Kang said.

"Sure, sure, very welcome," Mo Ming said with a smile.

After Yang Kang and the others left, Guo Fatso locked the door and drove out in his old, dilapidated minivan.

Watching Mo Ming slowly start the car, Yang Kang wanted to ask but couldn’t hold it in, so he said, "Boss Mo, I have something I want to ask."

"Eh?" Mo Ming smiled, "What is it? Why are you so polite?"

"Is the Mo Group your family’s?" Yang Kang asked.

"Yes." Mo Ming nodded. This wasn’t a secret. If Yang Kang wanted to know, he could ask Professor Qin or Wang Qying.

"I once applied for a job at your company and was rejected, the reason being that my major didn’t match." Yang Kang leaned back in the car seat, frowning slightly, "After I had a falling out with Young Master Wang and left the pawnshop, I wandered around trying to find a job. I also graduated from Jinling University and have a decent diploma. I’ve always been puzzled, why can’t I find a job?"

"Eh?" Mo Ming was a bit stunned. He didn’t understand why he was telling him this. Was he bored and had a few billion in assets, so he went looking for a job? Wasn’t that just making himself uncomfortable?

"Boss Mo, tell me honestly, is there something unpleasant about me that’s making me unable to find a job?" Yang Kang suddenly asked.

"Ah?" Mo Ming was stunned. Why would he have such a thought?

"Put it nicely, it’s body odor, put it bluntly, it’s — body odor?" Yang Kang said, lifting his sleeve and sniffing hard again, of course, he couldn’t smell anything.

"Why do you have this thought?" Mo Ming frowned, "Although I don’t have any strange habits, I can responsibly say that if you really had body odor, I wouldn’t let you in my car, so close to me. Although I don’t have a phobia, I really hate body odor."

Yang Kang was stunned. Could he have been overthinking it?

"Since that’s the case, why did that fatso say I was... fragrant and soft? I’m not a girl?" Yang Kang was somewhat angry. He didn’t think there was anything wrong with his face earlier, but after Wang Qying teased him, he became somewhat dissatisfied.

But his body and skin were given by his parents; he couldn’t just scratch his face because of this, could he?

"That Guo Fatso is just talking nonsense," Mo Ming shook his head, "You have a faint herbal smell, probably from the medicine you’ve been taking recently. And there’s also the smell of shower gel, which is normal. I do have some idea why you can’t find a job."

"Why?" Yang Kang asked, puzzled. He just couldn’t understand why he couldn’t find a job, while his classmates could easily find jobs.

"I said, you’ll probably be depressed again," Mo Ming smiled.

"Go on, I’m already depressed enough," Yang Kang said.

"I didn’t pay much attention at first, but after what Young Master Wang and that Guo Fatso said today, I understand a bit. Everyone envies," Mo Ming said, "The poor envy the rich, this is a very normal mentality, right!"

"Envy the rich is every poor person’s duty," Yang Kang said, making a gesture of contempt, "I envy you a lot!"

Mo Ming couldn’t stop laughing, slowing down the car, "Envy the rich is every poor person’s duty, then envy the beautiful is every ugly person’s duty. As an ordinary person, envying someone with a handsome face is very normal. You can’t find a job, you deserve it!"

"Is it because of my appearance that I can’t find a job?" Yang Kang was stunned. Could it really be so?

"Yes!" Mo Ming nodded, "If I were in charge of hiring, I wouldn’t hire someone like you — facing someone like you every day, I would feel inferior."

"Heaven!" Yang Kang leaned back in the car seat, rubbing his temples, which were starting to ache. Could it really be this reason?

"Think about it, if you were hired, all the beautiful women in the company would send you flirtatious glances. As a man, wouldn’t I feel a lot of pressure? Who knows, maybe even the female CEO would fancy you, or my girlfriend might like you. That would be a big problem," Mo Ming couldn’t help but tease.

"You... what are you talking about?" Yang Kang shook his head.

"Little Prince, you shouldn’t go out looking for a job and cause trouble," Mo Ming said seriously.

"If I have money, I won’t look for a job, but if I don’t have money... if I don’t look for a job, I’ll starve to death," Yang Kang said, "Do you think I want to look for a job?"

"Your appearance is a gift from your parents," Mo Ming smiled, "Having a handsome face isn’t bad — look at those male actors, they go to great lengths to maintain their looks. You just haven’t met a talent scout yet."
