Young Master in Flower City

Lin Ke'Er looked at the papers full of answers in her hands, feeling incredulous. What was meant to be a five-hour test, he completed in ten minutes, and his answers were clear and concise. Even the solutions he provided were ones she hadn't seen in her extensive experience in financial institutions.

These answers were too perfect; she believed even President Ye Qingcheng couldn't achieve them.

This was an extraordinary elite financial genius. If missed, it would be a loss for Qingcheng International. And if Qingcheng International let Xiao Tianyu go today, pushing him to join Biyue International, which stands opposed to Qingcheng International, the consequences would not just be losing a genius. It might lead Qingcheng International's performance to plummet, with its stock directly falling.

This kind of financial talent needs to either be suppressed or employed.

But suppressing him, Qingcheng Group doesn't have that capability. After all, Qingcheng Group hasn't grown strong enough to become a global giant, so it can only choose to employ him.

Biyue International in the financial world is a competitor of Qingcheng International. The strength of both groups is roughly equal, and they operate in the same industry. As the saying goes, "business peers are enemies," which is the main reason for the rivalry between Biyue International and Qingcheng International.

Over the years, the two groups have had countless conflicts while trying to win over clients, and they have reached a point where they are irreconcilable.

Swipe~

Lin Ke'Er picked up the papers in her hand and ran out, leaving behind a group of onlookers.

"What's happening? Why is the goddess supervisor so anxious?"

"You ask me, who should I ask?"

"This plot's development is off. Isn't that guy supposed to have submitted the wrong paper and not have any chance? Why would the goddess supervisor be like this, fearing to miss him?"

"..."

Many of the evaluators were bewildered, utterly unable to tell east from west.

...

In the corridor, Xiao Tianyu walked leisurely. He wasn't worried at all about the application process because he knew he'd pass with absolute certainty. If he didn't pass, then the listed group would not be far from bankruptcy.

"Mr. Xiao, wait a moment..." Lin Ke'Er emerged with the papers in hand, and Xiao Tianyu paused and looked back. Lin Ke'Er continued: "You've been accepted, welcome to Qingcheng International!"

Upon hearing this, many in the corridor showed expressions of shock. It's been years since Qingcheng International had accepted a male employee, yet today they witnessed it.

Of course, people naturally wouldn't suspect Xiao Tianyu was employed for his looks because they knew Qingcheng International didn't care about appearance, especially given their usual resistance to hiring men.

Thus, it was clear to everyone that Xiao Tianyu had real skills.

"Oh!" Xiao Tianyu merely nodded slightly, showing no joy at being accepted, as if being admitted was entirely normal for him.

"Please come to my office for a while, I'll call the higher-ups right away!" Seeing Xiao Tianyu nod, Lin Ke'Er smiled faintly then led Xiao Tianyu into the office.

Then, with the papers in hand, Lin Ke'Er took out her mobile phone, stepped out of the office, closed the door, and dialed a number.

Human Resources Department, Manager's Office.

Ding-a-ling~

The phone rang, and soon Li Kexin sitting in the office picked up the phone and said, "Hello~ who is this!"

"I'm Lin Ke'Er from the Recruitment Department!"

"What's the matter?" Li Kexin asked.

"During this year's recruitment, we've encountered a financial genius, but he's male..."

Before Lin Ke'Er could finish speaking, Li Kexin interrupted: "I forgot to inform you, the Recruitment Department's conditions for males this year need to be raised. This is an order from the president, to add another nine after the decimal, meaning the acceptance score must be 99.99, in plain words, it's 100!"

Having said that, Li Kexin continued: "Is there anything else?"

It seemed Li Kexin had already concluded that the person Lin Ke'Er referred to could not be accepted.

Furthermore, since the answers to the questions weren't definitive, finding errors and deducting a point or two is quite easy.

"There's something!" The voice from Lin Ke'Er's end said: "I can't explain it in a few words, I'll fax the papers over for you to see for yourself!"

After saying that, the phone call ended, and before long, the fax machine in the office buzzed, printing three sheets. Li Kexin glanced at the papers, but the next second, she was completely shocked.

"This..."

Soon, Li Kexin grabbed the papers, her expression changing as she flipped to the second and third sheets, her hands starting to tremble. Such an extraordinary person, even if she wanted to deduct points, she couldn't find any way to do so. The answers on the papers were simply too perfect.

She shared the same thoughts as Lin Ke'Er, realizing that turning away this financial genius would be a significant loss for Qingcheng International.

Subsequently, Li Kexin dialed a phone number.

President's Office.

Ye Qingcheng's desk was piled with documents, a pen in her hand, signing one after another. Even Ye Qingcheng's posture while signing exuded an inexplicable coldness.

Ye Qingcheng, at the age of twenty-three, a graduate from Celestial Capital University with a double master's degree, took over Qingcheng International from her father two years ago as the chief executive president.

In these short two years, she turned Qingcheng International into a top-500 global listed group, dubbed a genius in the financial sector, and she had a nickname: Cold-Faced President.

Like her name, Ye Qingcheng had unparalleled beauty and an icy demeanor, keeping people at a distance of a thousand miles with an aura impossible to desecrate, only to be admired from afar.

In those years, no one had heard of Ye Qingcheng having a genuine relationship with any man. Only one person had once entered her heart, only to disappear three years ago without a trace. This made Ye Qingcheng colder and had a strong repulsion towards men.

Ding-a-ling~

Just then, the phone on the desk rang. Ye Qingcheng placed down the pen and picked up the phone: "Hello..."

"President, this year we might have to recruit a man!"

"Didn't I tell you? The conditions for male hires have been raised. Did you forget?" Ye Qingcheng's voice was icy.

"They've been raised!"

"Raised, yet someone could still be accepted?"

"This person's answers are truly impeccable!" Said Li Kexin on the other end.

"Just deduct a point arbitrarily and eliminate him!" Ye Qingcheng had no extra words.

After speaking, she directly hung up the phone, leaving Li Kexin momentarily stunned at the other end. She hung up without hearing my explanation?

But... but I want to deduct points too. It's just impossible to find where to deduct them, not adding points is already good enough, okay? Li Kexin looked at the papers in her hand, expressing helplessness. Alas, for the sake of Qingcheng International's future, I should call again.
