Chapter 1513 - 1516: It's Fine to Lie to Me, but Not to My Woman (Fifth Update)
Hearing the words of the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, Shen Qiang burst into laughter and then asked calmly, "Are you at their company?"Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu immediately replied, "Yes, I am at their company. They said that to ensure we genuinely want to hire and won't marry multiple women, we need to pay an advance payment of no less than twenty percent of the annual salary according to industry standards."
"The annual salary of that restaurant manager is five million, so we need to pay them one million in advance now."
Shen Qiang smiled, glancing at the stunning campus belle Qin Yurou, who was looking at the magazine with confusion and suspicion, and said calmly over the phone, "Tell that person in charge that although one million isn't a big deal to me, I need to meet him before making a decision."
"Okay."
A moment later, Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu said, "He agreed, right in his company office, are you coming now?"
"Yes, let him wait for me, I'll be there soon, send me the address."
Upon saying this, Shen Qiang hung up the phone, and at this moment, Qin Yurou, with a suspicious look, said in surprise, "This magazine does look a bit strange. The ink smells new, but how can you be sure it was printed yesterday?"
Shen Qiang smiled, raised an eyebrow, and said, "As an Alchemist, the most important thing is not how ingenious your formula is, but how you determine the right heat during alchemy. You take your time to study it. Once you find a way and determine exactly when it was refined, your level of alchemy will also improve."
Having said that, Shen Qiang smiled and said, "I have something to do, I must go now."
Watching Shen Qiang turn and leave, the perky girl Abi pouted, "Young Master, don't listen to Shen Qiang's nonsense, determining the exact day ink and paper were printed is pure metaphysics, it's impossible, no one can do it."
The stunning Young Master of Medicine King Valley, campus belle Qin Yurou, looked at Shen Qiang's receding figure with astonishment, her beautiful eyes suddenly brightened, and then said, "No, there's a way to verify it. Come on, Abi, let's go to the laboratory. If Shen Qiang can really determine that this magazine was printed yesterday with just a glance, it means his ability in the field of Elixir Pills might be far beyond our imagination."
Having said that, not caring about the dumbfounded and astonished Abi, campus belle Qin Yurou hurriedly headed to the laboratory.
And just as she was urgently verifying Shen Qiang's judgment.
Shen Qiang left the campus and headed straight to the parking lot he had prepared outside, drove his car, and rushed to the address provided by the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu.
Although without seeing the fake magazine, Shen Qiang would have had some suspicion, he couldn't be sure that someone was really setting up behind the scenes.
But after seeing the magazine, Shen Qiang's thoughts were now exceedingly clear.
Someone is setting up a trap for Shen Qiang, for the Datong River Beijing branch.
Moreover, the setup is very ingenious.
They know that the Datong River Beijing branch is anxious to hire a truly competent restaurant manager.
They also guessed that after the hiring failed, Shen Qiang would definitely turn to a headhunting company.
So they prepared billboards at Shen Qiang's community entrance and even used a promotional vehicle to appear in front of Shen Qiang deliberately. This way, after several appearances, Shen Qiang, who has an impression of this company, is generally not likely to be suspicious.
Under such circumstances, readily breaking out a motivational story magazine.
For any normal person needing a headhunting company, they would surely call without hesitation.
But unfortunately, Shen Qiang is not normal.
Because Shen Qiang is a real big boss, such minor matters about personnel recruitment don't concern him at all. If not for considering the feelings of the Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, Shen Qiang would have casually told someone else to handle it.
And obviously.
The setter on the other side has already considered this aspect of the situation.
So his real focus is likely on the eager Sleeping Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu, who wants to help Shen Qiang find a qualified manager.
Because it's not complicated, initially, Shen Qiang wanted to open this store to pursue Wenren Meiqiao, to find the whereabouts of the Divine Corpse.
But subsequently, in the interaction, Shen Qiang has already eliminated many places where the Divine Corpse could not be through elimination, but facing the vast sea without precise coordinates, it's impossible to find the Divine Corpse, so before truly thinking of a way to make Wenren Meiqiao speak, whether this restaurant opens or not, doesn't mean much to Shen Qiang.
Therefore, Shen Qiang is not too anxious about this matter.
But Ke Bizhu is different, this is the only thing Shen Qiang entrusted to her.
If she doesn't do it well, she'll feel she's incompetent.
So when she saw the advertisement outside the community, the mobile promotional vehicle, and a magazine full of motivational stories, finding the way is clearly a natural choice, and subsequently, the moment she spoke, the other side immediately said there's such a person but required a payment of one million.
This instinctively made Shen Qiang feel that this group of fraudsters intentionally wanted to cheat Ke Bizhu out of her money.
If that's all, Shen Qiang could expose them with just a few words. At worst, I won't pay, and that's it.
But at the same time, Shen Qiang faintly felt that this matter might not be so simple, because Beijing is a big city with many wealthy individuals, for such skilled scammers employing familiar setup techniques, there are plenty of targets and choices, there's no need to specifically target Shen Qiang and the Datong River branch.
Not only that, they knew where Shen Qiang attended school and where Shen Qiang lived, so Shen Qiang faintly felt that, perhaps, the real instigators were the Bounty Hunters from the bounty hunter platform. If that's the case, their purpose is definitely not just to scam one million prepayment.
Therefore, Shen Qiang must personally meet them.
Following the address Ke Bizhu provided all the way, guided by the navigation, he quickly arrived at an office building.
After parking the car, Shen Qiang called Ke Bizhu and then went upstairs.
In the elevator, he encountered a few people, but everything seemed normal. Arriving on the eighteenth floor, stepping out of the elevator, Shen Qiang immediately saw the sign for Tiandi Advanced Talent Consulting Co., Ltd. Not only did he see the photo of the man from the advertisements, but he also saw the delighted Ke Bizhu and Ye Guyun munching on chips.
With a smile, he walked over, Ke Bizhu gave a brief introduction, then the company's female secretary said, "Mr. Shen, this way please. Our boss is waiting for you in the office."
Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled, not only instantly expanded his Divine Sense and Plague Source but also followed the female secretary from this company to the company's CEO's office.
Upon entering the room, Shen Qiang immediately saw a dignified-looking man wearing a light blue striped shirt and sporting the dark red tie that Bianyi once favored most.
Indeed, he was the guy from the Tiandi Advanced Talent Consulting Co., Ltd. advertisement who looked unbelievably honest when he smiled.
