At the start, I tricked the school beauty, and ended up with twins?

"The meeting is adjourned, everyone, let's work together to get the recruitment site set up within half an hour."

Gu Yu clapped his hands, and everyone stood up.

"Dismissed!"

People streamed out to see what they could do at the job fair.

"What's wrong with Ya? Why hasn't she come back?"

Lin Xinyue didn't leave the meeting room but walked up to Pu Tongren, frowning as she asked him.

She's such a good friend, how could she not return after going back home?

What exactly had happened?

Pu Tongren was about to discuss some work-related matters with Gu Yu when Lin Xinyue suddenly asked him about Hu Xiaoya, making his expression stiffen.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Ya's parents won't let her come out."

Lin Xinyue found this even stranger.

Her brows furrowed deeply, "Won't let her come out? Why?"

Pu Tongren sighed, "Ah, because her parents want to set up a matchmaking session for her."

As he spoke, his expression grew melancholic.

Gu Yu widened his eyes, Boss Pu had not mentioned this to him just now.

Good grief, how old is Hu Xiaoya?! Her family is arranging a matchmaking session for her already?

Wasn't it said that in her family, engagements happen at twenty-six?

Hu Xiaoya seems to be just twenty-four, right? Why the rush?

Lin Xinyue fell silent, "..."

She lowered her head and thought for quite a while before shrugging her shoulders resignedly, "Fine, I know her parents; they are just stubborn."

After muttering to herself, she looked up at Pu Tongren with glaring eyes, "Why don't you just elope with Hu Xiaoya? Wouldn't that solve everything?"

"Ya has told me that she doesn't want to go back at all, she wants to get away from that home where everything is arranged for her."

Lin Xinyue shared with Pu Tongren what her friend had confided in her during their conversations.

Pu Tongren's expression froze, then his face turned red.

It wasn't that he didn't want to take Hu Xiaoya away, but rather that he lacked the capability to do so.

With his current situation, he couldn't even meet a fifth of what Hu Xiaoya's parents demanded.

Unless he had his parents take on these nearly unreasonable conditions.

"I also wish to..."

His voice choked up.

The worst thing for a man is to meet the person he most wants to be with when he lacks capability.

The sense of responsibility was just too heavy.

He had indeed thought about eloping with Hu Xiaoya, but after that, what then?

Would Hu Xiaoya never go back home for the rest of her life?

He did not want to cause Hu Xiaoya to break with her family because of him, despite Lin Xinyue saying how stubborn Ya's family was.

But as a man, he felt it was his duty to satisfy the parents of his partner.

Even if he couldn't meet the demands in the end, he still wanted to try his best.

If everyone could be happy, that would be the best outcome.

"Xinyue, don't blame Boss Pu too much; it's also hard on him,"

Gu Yu stepped between the two, wrapping his arms around Lin Xinyue, shielding Boss Pu.

He saw that Boss Pu's eyes had reddened.

Clearly, he had been struck in a sore spot again.

"Forget it, I know what's going on, it must be Ya's parents giving you a hard time."

"I have seen Ya's parents in videos before, although I haven't met them face to face, I could feel their harshness."

Lin Xinyue also saw Pu Tongren's dejection; she knew this matter wasn't much related to Pu Tongren.

Hurriedly explained.

"No, it's because I'm not good enough. If I could meet Ya's parents' demands, I could have taken Ya away."

Pu Tongren shook his head, taking all the responsibility upon himself.

Lin Xinyue's expression stalled, so did Gu Yu's, and as they eyed each other, their expressions were somewhat helpless.

"Boss, you really did nothing wrong. Think about it, you were even willing to go home with Hu Xiaoya, and that shows your determination."

"With the kind of behavior exhibited by Hu Xiaoya's parents, it's almost like selling their daughter. Even if you met their demands, they would just ask for more."

Gu Yu quickly comforted Boss Pu.

He knew this kind of mercantile attitude all too well, which would never be satisfied and only keep demanding endlessly.

Greed has no limits.

"Yes, Pu, Ya even said that during her university years, her parents had already set her up with arranged dates, and then the demands they made scared those people off."

"Later, when Ya didn't want to go back for arranged marriages, they cut off her allowance, forcing Ya to come out and work part-time to earn living expenses."

Lin Xinyue echoed as well.

In this matter, Pu Tongren really wasn't at fault.

"Hmm, I'll think about it myself." Pu Tongren just nodded in disappointment, unable to let go immediately.

He sighed deeply, "I won't think about these things for now. The recruitment event is coming up soon, and I need to get into work mode quickly."

"Laosi, this sales manager position you arranged for me is really putting me in a tough spot."

He forced a smile and looked at Gu Yu.

Gu Yu just smiled and said, "Boss, don't underestimate your abilities. Besides, if you want to make five million in two years, sales is the only way to do it under normal circumstances."

"Five million!? What the heck?" Before Pu Tongren could speak, Lin Xinyue let out a cry of disbelief.

It was obvious that the five million Gu Yu mentioned was the demand of Hu Xiaoya's parents to Pu Tongren.

Five million in two years, were they looking for an ATM?

She knew that Hu Xiaoya's parents were a bit outrageous, but she hadn't realized they were this outrageous.

It was ridiculously outrageous to the point that outrageous grandma opened the door to outrageous...

A normal young person, who could make five million in two years!

Pu Tongren gave a wry smile, "I'll try my best."

He had now decided to fulfill Hu Xiaoya's parents' requirements and then take Hu Xiaoya out openly and honorably.

"Boss, although your devotion is profound, it's hard to say, but you really have the potential to create major grievances."

Gu Yu simply gave a thumbs up, no longer trying to persuade further.

...

At four-thirty in the afternoon, in the open area in front of the Ideal Paradise Company, a row of tents had been set up.

Under the tents, a row of tables was also arranged.

The documents and contracts needed for recruitment had been printed overtime, and Pu Tongren was sitting in the center, looking at the empty space in front of him.

Soon, this place would undoubtedly be overcrowded.

Some employees from other companies who had left work early stopped from afar to watch, and upon realizing it was Ideal Paradise's recruitment event, excitement appeared on some faces.

Just as he was about to step forward and ask, he saw a simple poster made of A3 paper being put up.

[Ideal Paradise Sales Department Recruitment Event]

"Eh? Are they only recruiting for sales positions?" someone scrutinized the content on the poster with a disappointed expression.

If they were recruiting technical staff, he would have approached them right away to inquire.

"What are you looking at?"

Just then, the boss passed by next to him, and he quickly grabbed his laptop bag and scooted off.

You can't let the boss find out about wanting to resign...

Meanwhile, the sales team from Rui Zhi Education had also left work early without the permission of their leader, Pan Jin.

No one could stop them.
