School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert

Just as Liu Xiaolei said, around five in the afternoon, a woman in her thirties dressed in light gray business attire, carrying a black shoulder bag and sporting a bob haircut with glasses, entered the room. She glanced around, seemingly checking to see if there were any new recruitment booths. Her gaze stopped when she saw Liu Xiaolei. Composing herself, she slowly walked over.

Xiao Han spotted the woman from a distance because she carried a distinct aura, one that contrasted oddly with her looks. The woman was rather plain, with single eyelids and slightly dark skin, marked with some spots from childbearing. However, her lips were indeed sensual.

"She's here," Xiao Han quickly sat up straight and put away his phone.

Liu Xiaolei immediately smiled at the woman.

The woman walked over, closely examined the job posting, and then asked, "Hanmen Group? A newly established group company?"

"Yes!" Liu Xiaolei nodded eagerly, "So, it has great prospects for development?"

"How do I know if you're not just a shell company?" the woman retorted.

"I…" Liu Xiaolei, being new to HR work, was taken aback.

"May I ask your surname?" Xiao Han stood up.

"I'm surnamed Zhang," the woman replied with a slight smile, "My questions were a bit presumptuous, sorry."

"Not at all," Xiao Han shook his head, "To prove whether Hanmen Group is a shell company or not, just come to the Hanmen Company's launch ceremony in a few days. Hanmen Group is part of the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government's investment attraction plan, granted special handling. The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government have even established a green channel for us. They effectively endorse us."

"Hmm," the woman pondered and then smiled, "Let me give you my business card."

After saying that, she took a business card from her bag and handed it to Xiao Han, "Stay in touch!"

"Sure," Xiao Han nodded.

From beginning to end, they didn't discuss salary, benefits, or the specifics of recruitment. After a short exchange, she left.

Watching the woman walk away, Xiao Han remarked, "Interesting!"

"Zhang Lixia?" Liu Xiaolei glanced at the business card, "The HR director of Steward Group Company."

"Not bad," Xiao Han laughed cheerfully, "Steward is a well-known enterprise in Linjiang City."

"Yeah, if we could get her on board, that would be great," Liu Xiaolei said, astonished, "I'd willingly give up my vice president position to her."

"Haha..." Xiao Han laughed heartily.

Although they hadn't recruited anyone, they had found a suitable target. Zhang Lixia had piqued the interest of both Xiao Han and Liu Xiaolei. They decided to concentrate their efforts on getting her on board as soon as possible.

Since Zhang Lixia had come, it indicated that she was considering a job change. Therefore, Xiao Han believed Hanmen Group still had a chance to win her over.

The two packed up and left the job fair.

............

The launch ceremony of Hanmen Group was destined to be a grand affair.

On that day, Yang Lu and Zhao Lizhong got up early, dressed in formal attire, and a specialized planning company had been hired to organize the event for Hanmen Group.

Xiao Han also arrived at the site early.

"Yo, Big Fatty, you're looking pretty sharp today," Xiao Han said with a chuckle looking at Li Dapang.

Li Dapang, dressed in a suit despite his obesity, looked invigorated. He replied cheerfully, "Of course... Of course, I am the vice president of Hanmen Group, so I have to dress the part."

"Haha..." Xiao Han laughed heartily.

Li Dapang, with a grin, asked Xiao Han, "Are you really not going to go on stage for the ribbon cutting today?"

"Nope!" Xiao Han shook his head, "I don't like being in the spotlight."

"Today is the day to make our ancestors proud and puff our chests out," Li Dapang laughed, "It's a real shame if you don't go on stage."

"You go, and that'll be fine," Xiao Han said with a smile.

"Well, then I'll go," Li Dapang grinned.

"Go ahead!" Xiao Han nodded, "Don't keep everyone waiting."

"Okay!" Li Dapang nodded.

Beneath the Twin Towers Building, colorful flags fluttered, and a sea of people gathered. Many from Hanmen Company came to attend the listing ceremony of Hanmen Group. This time, Yang Lu and Zhao Lizhong invited numerous industry insiders to the ceremony, and everyone appeared to be very happy.

Of course, the most important attendees this time were the staff members from the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government, and moreover, the Municipal Secretary personally led the way, bringing several core leaders of the committee to the event to demonstrate the government's emphasis on the business world and on attracting investment.

Yang Lu personally accompanied the Municipal Secretary, all smiles.

Xiao Han mingled aimlessly among the crowd.

"Teacher Li," Xiao Han greeted Li Yunpeng, who was clad in a Zhongshan suit.

This time, Li Yunpeng had also been invited to the ribbon-cutting event. As the head of the Hanmen Training Institute, he was now a household name teacher in Linjiang City, and even across the country. With this year's college entrance examination results out, the Hanmen Training Class once again shone brilliantly. Almost all students who attended the class had significantly improved their scores. Among one hundred students of the class, three were admitted to Tsinghua, two to Peking University, over twenty to key universities under the 211 and 985 projects, and more than forty passed the second-tier college entrance line. Others also improved by ten or even dozens of points compared to their original scores.

Such remarkable achievements naturally drew national attention to the education of Linjiang City. Thus, Li Yunpeng once again became a coveted interviewee for major satellite TV stations, and his value soared.

This time, one of the reasons why the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government specially approved Hanmen Group and personally attended its ribbon-cutting ceremony was because the Hanmen Training Institute had brought honor and prestige to Linjiang City.

"Oh, Xiao Han?" It had been a long time since Li Yunpeng had seen Xiao Han, and he was immediately excited, "I haven't seen you for a long time. How's college treating you?"

"It's pretty good," Xiao Han smiled and replied, "Teacher Li, you're looking quite spirited and in good form."

"Haha..." Li Yunpeng couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this before replying, "It's alright, just usual business."

"You've been quite successful recently," Xiao Han said with a laugh.

"Isn't that thanks to your blessings?" Li Yunpeng remarked emotionally, "Xiao Han, it's truly unimaginable how you've grown Hanmen so much. To think it has already become Hanmen Group is really staggering."

"What's so staggering?" Xiao Han chuckled, "When things develop to a certain stage, they should break through their bottlenecks."

"Haha..." Li Yunpeng laughed heartily and replied, "That makes sense, indeed."

"Teacher Li, there you are," a girl clad in a cheongsam hurried over and said, "Director Yang asked me to find you; the Municipal Secretary wants to have a chat with you!"

"Ah, okay, okay, I'll be right there," Li Yunpeng nodded.

"Go ahead, Teacher Li," Xiao Han said with a smile.

"Aren't you going?" asked Li Yunpeng curiously, "It's your company. Aren't you cutting the ribbon?"

"I'll pass," Xiao Han shook his head and then added, "Keeping a low profile is better. I'm so young now; being too high-profile can make you memorable for the wrong reasons."

"Being low-key is good. At such a young age, to understand the value of being discreet and restrained is not easy," Li Yunpeng couldn't help but reflect. Everything Xiao Han was doing seemed beyond the calm expected of someone his age.

He was indeed very young, yet exceptionally calm. So calm that it was almost uncharacteristic of a normal person.

Anyone else, including adults, would want to be photographed with these high-ranking officials if they had established such a massive group company and invited officials from the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. Yet, Xiao Han did not just stay away; he kept his distance.

Thus, Li Yunpeng felt it was astonishing.

Quite a few people had come to the event.

Xiao Han was merely representing the staff of Hanmen Group, welcoming the guests at the event.

At least dozens of media journalists were on-site, their cameras, long and short, focused on the temporary stage at the entrance. Local media, provincial media, some from other places, and even a crew from Central Television were present, though they were there specifically for Li Yunpeng.

An impromptu singing and dancing performance was staged, and celebrities were invited to add to the festive atmosphere. There was also a lottery session.

Finally, it was time for the ribbon-cutting.

The ribbon-cutting was one of the most important parts of the event.

The Municipal Secretary stood in the center, with Yang Lu shoulder to shoulder beside him. Next to the Municipal Secretary were staff from the Municipal Committee, and at Yang Lu's side were the core members of Hanmen Group. There were seven individuals on stage for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Three from the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government. On Hanmen Group's side were Yang Lu, Zhao Lizhong, Li Dapang, and Li Yunpeng.

Liu Si found this kind of event uninteresting, yet he was present to give face to Xiao Han; besides, owning a ten percent share in the company, he could hardly miss the opportunity to support the occasion. Liu Si not only attended but also sent a huge basket of flowers, displaying immense swagger and dominance. Many people at the scene brought flower baskets. The Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government also sent congratulatory flower baskets as a group.

Atop the Twin Towers, banners wishing congratulations were especially eye-catching, with the banner from the Municipal Party Committee and Municipal Government being the most prominent. It made Hanmen Group seem incredibly influential, earning the government's congratulations—truly impressive.

A smile formed on Xiao Han's lips as he surveyed the joyous scene, and he suddenly felt that he was halfway to success.

Many businesses attended the event, but Jiang Group did not send any representatives to offer congratulations. Of course, Xiao Han didn't care for Jiang Group's presence; on the contrary, he would have disliked it if they had shown up to wish him well, as he might have even gone up to embarrass them. Their absence saved him the trouble.
