Wang Hao’s eyes popped out as he listened.
Rise to the top? The greatest guru on “Fengyun” now is Wen Dao, isn’t it? I’m not sure what this person’s got, but he sounds arrogant…
“You’re right, it must be done well.” The way Manager Liu looked at the guru was a world of difference from the way he looked at Wang Hao. He laughed and said, “Are you free this afternoon? Do you want to grab something to eat? Our company takes your novels very seriously. It would be our pleasure if we could collaborate with you.”
Heaven Xiao’s eyes lit up at Manager Liu’s words. He nodded and replied, “Deal, no problem! Lunch is on me.”
“Haha, I appreciate your generosity.” Manager Liu tidied up his stuff. “Shall we?”
“Sure.” Heaven Xiao got up and suddenly noticed Wang Hao. He asked, “This is…”
“Oh, an interviewee. I totally forgot about him.” Manager Liu handed Wang Hao a notebook. “Leave your number here and wait for our call.”
He ignored me? Where’s my luck?
Wang Hao shrugged and looked inside the notebook. There was a long list of names and contact numbers; it seemed this was quite a competitive position.
Anyway, there’s a position out there for me! I’ll go somewhere else and see!
After writing down his phone number, Wang Hao got up and left. Heaven Xiao slung his arm around Manager Liu’s shoulders and they stepped out together. On their way out, Heaven Xiao asked, “What position was that guy applying for?”
Manager Liu replied, “Game planning assistant. Haha, he doesn’t have any education background or work experience, and even forgot to bring his resume.”
“Graduated from a diploma mill? No wonder.” Heaven Xiao didn’t even bother to look at Wang Hao. He smiled and said, “That’s what happens when universities don’t limit their enrollments. It’s like when you use too much fertilizer, pesticides and ripening agents: it lowers the quality of the crops and leads to overstock due to the increase in supply.”
“Yeah.” Manager Liu agreed and nodded. “Ugh… It’s so difficult to find a suitable candidate nowadays…”
Wang Hao frowned when he heard them from a little way off.
What’s that about a diploma mill? Did I do anything to you?
“You cocky b*stard! You better be careful when you go out!” Wang Hao spat furiously. I have seriously good fortune today; you watch out for karma!
Just as Wang Hao thought this, somebody roared from afar, “There he is! Get him!”
What’s going on?!
Wang Hao turned around and saw Heaven Xiao surrounded by a group of gangsters.
The head of the gang was a guy with a crew cut. He was about six feet tall, had the tattoo of a wolf’s head on his neck, and wore earrings. He stood in front of Heaven Xiao, pushed him to the ground, and shouted, “F*cking b*stard! You’re the one who shagged my wife, huh?!”
A lot of people gathered round to join the fun, and so did Wang Hao.
Am I this lucky? I don’t even need to do it myself?
“Your wife?” Heaven Xiao looked completely confused. To be honest, even though he was a guru, he was also a homebody. Startled, he quickly said, “Bro, let me explain. I haven’t been in touch with any women recently!”
“Stop playing the f*cking fool!” The head slapped Heaven Xiao. “Blue T-shirt, black shorts, slippers, and a bag. That’s you, alright! Brothers, finish him off!” They started beating up Heaven Xiao right away.
Wang Hao felt terrified just listening to the sounds of the beating!
Such hard punches! Woah, look at that…
Keep going, don’t stop!
After a few more kicks, one of them suddenly looked away and whispered, “Oh sh*t, Wolf! We got the wrong guy. There’s another one dressed like this over there…”
“Huh?” Wolf boggled, then laughed and cuffed Heaven Xiao on the shoulder. “I’m sorry, we’re filming a TV program; it’s an entertainment show. I just thought you’d look good on camera — brothers, let’s go!”
Just like that, they all ran away…
Wang Hao stood there open-mouthed. “Wow, damn, seriously?”
Heaven Xiao sat on the floor in a daze, and was too stunned to gather his wits about him. Before he knew it, the gang had escaped and it was too late to call the police…
“What the hell!” Heaven Xiao’s face was still swollen. He slowly got to his feet, patted the dust off his body, and said helplessly, “What exactly happened…”
Wang Hao covered his mouth and walked away. Once he found a quiet corner, he burst into laughter!
Ahahahahha! Cool!
It looks like I have boundless luck!
Oh yeah, I’m feeling great! Wang Hao hummed to himself as he continued his job search. Well, a blithe heart made for a blooming visage. After looking at a few other booths, a television entertainment company under Bohuan Group appeared in front of his eyes. Wang Hao brightened up. That was it!
I’m invincible today! Let’s go! Wang Hao went forward and asked, “Hello, are you still hiring?”
“Hello.” At the booth was a man in his mid-40s and who was wearing a formal suit and tie. He heard Wang Hao, sized him up, then replied, “Almost all the positions have been filled. We only have one position left.”
One position left? Hehe, here comes my fortune!
Wang Hao asked immediately, “What position? Are the requirements high?”
“No; a bachelor degree will do, but the salary is also relatively lower.” The man wasn’t so friendly, and continued calmly with a poker face, “One of our lighting assistants quit because of the low salary. The production is drawing to a close, so it’ll only be a two-month contract.”
Lighting assistant — it sounded like an important position, but in fact, just referred to a temporary gofer.
This might seem like a rubbish position to other people, but for Wang Hao, it was perfect!
Gofer! Temporary! Two months!
I’m indeed invincible today! Everyone else might see no value in this job, low salary, and short period of time, but it’s totally tailor-made for me, isn’t it?
