However, they had support from within the district, and the procedures were handled quickly, allowing the whole process to be completed swiftly.
The company’s production plant was set in Jade Town. They had purchased a ready-made plant and were currently purchasing various production and packaging equipment.
When he reached the factory, Tang Hao could see that in the previously empty building, a new set of equipment had been set up, and many workers were bustling about.
When he reached the office, he found that Liu Dajun and the rest were already there.
They had all invested in Haotian Company’s stocks, so they were just as eager to work as Tang Hao was.
“Lil Tang, you arrived right on time. The trademark has been registered. From now on, our weight-loss tea will be called ‘Bizhi’.”
When he saw Tang Hao, Liu Dajun moved toward him.
On the other side, President Li brought a few types of bottles to him. “Take a look, Lil Tang. Which one looks better?”
Tang Hao swept his gaze over them and was a little torn. All the packaging looked not bad and were so much better than the bottle he was originally using.
“This one!” After some careful consideration, he pointed at one of the bottles.
“This one then! I think it looks pretty good too. It’s rather tasteful,” President Li said with a smile.
Then, President Li brought over a stack of packaging designs and asked Tang Hao to select from them.
“Lil Tanf, now that the company has been registered and the trademark has been settled, the factory should be almost ready. The only thing we’re missing is manpower,” Liu Dajun said.
Tang Hao nodded.
Indeed, the company was currently lacking manpower.
During this time, Liu Dajun and the others had used their connections to recruit many people. However, it was still far from enough. A proper company needed many departments.
Marketing, research, human resources, finance etc., all these departments needed talents.
“Lil Tang, you’re missing an assistant as well. You’re now a president, so you need to find an assistant as they can help you handle all kinds of matters.”
After he pondered for a moment, he replied, “Alright! In the next few days, I’ll ask someone to upload some job postings online and organize a job fair. When the time comes, Lil Tang should come along too.”
“Sure!” Tang Hao agreed.
After talking briefly with Liu Dajun and the rest, Tang Hao headed to the counterfeit workshop and got a new batch of ten bronze tanks. He then returned to the villa and turned these tanks into Qi gathering jars.
He now had eleven Qi gathering jars, which should be enough to meet production needs.
Two days later, it was the day of the job fair.
Tang Hao had taken a trip to Dragonrock Village at dawn and then went to the county seat. He arrived at Spring River Plaza, which sat across from Sunshine Plaza. The company’s office was set up here, and they had taken up the entire ninth floor.
He got into the elevator, and when he arrived on the ninth floor, he could see that the corridor packed full of people. Many of them were dressed like white-collar workers, holding their resumes in their hands as they waited.
It was apparent that these people were here to participate in the recruitment process.
He swept his gaze over them and reckoned that there were around 50 to 60 people.
Moreover, this might just be a small part of the people who were here for the job fair, as Tang Hao had spotted many similar-looking people on his way up.
Tang Hao assessed these people as he walked forward.
Suddenly, he squinted. In the crowd of job applicants, he had noticed a familiar figure. It was none other than Fu Renjie.
Fu Renjie was in his usual get-up. He was wearing a well-ironed suit, and he had combed meticulously and applied mousse to, making it glint under the light. He had a pair of gold-framed glasses on, making him appear very well-mannered.
He was just sitting there, holding onto a briefcase.
‘Why is he here?’ Tang Hao was somewhat taken aback.
From what he had heard from Sis Xiangyi, Fu Renjie was a senior executive in another company, so his salary should not be too bad. Therefore, it did not make sense why he was applying for a job here.
As he walked in, the job applicants seemed to look at him oddly.
‘What’s this teenager doing here? Is he here for the recruitment?’
‘But he’s way too young, and he’s dressed so casually.’
They glanced at him but quickly retracted their gaze and continued waiting.
At that moment, Fu Renjie glanced over and saw Tang Hao. He paused for a moment, then recognized him.
At this moment, his expression fell, and his gaze darkened.
He was a person who held grudges. Therefore, he still had not forgotten the humiliation he had to endure that day.
Suddenly, the corner of his lips twitched upward, and he smiled menacingly. Suddenly, he got up and walked toward Tang Hao.
Chapter 99 - This Person Is A Little Weird

“Oh, what a coincidence!”
Fu Renjie took a few strides toward him with a menacing smile.
“Don’t tell me you’re here for the recruitment. Let me think, what kind of position can an uncultured hick like you apply for?”
As he said this, he held up a sheet of paper and pretended to look through it.
“Oh, right, you can be the factory’s security guard!”
He pointed at the list and exclaimed in an exaggerated manner.
Suddenly, everyone in the corridor turned to look at them. Many of the gazes that fell upon Tang Hao showed a slight disdain.
In the eyes of these white-collared folks, a security guard was a low-level position. Those who were security guards were uncultured and would never match up to their cultured statuses.
Tang Hao furrowed his brows and thought silently, ‘This guy is still as despicable as he used to be.’
However, he was too lazy to be bothered.
He would simply kick this despicable guy out later. He did not want a malicious person like him to work in his company.
Seeing Tang Hao’s unbothered expression, Fu Renjie became even more enraged.
‘This damned hick, how dare he ignore me?’
He gritted his teeth furiously, and said in a mocking tone, “Who knew trash like you could be so arrogant? Look at yourself, look at the way you’re dressed. Do you look like someone who’s here to apply for a job?
“Don’t tell me you’ve never applied for a job before. You don’t even have common sense. If I were a recruiting officer, I’d have chased you out already.
“That’s right. How would a piece of trash like you ever participate in a recruitment process?”
When they heard him say that, the white-collar folks furrowed their brows.
It was true, this young man was dressed too casually. He did not look like someone who was here to apply for a job at all. It would be absurd if he could really apply for a position whilst dressed like this.
Many of them sneered, shaking their heads.
“He really is uncultured. He doesn’t even have much common sense!” Several people whispered hastily.
Hearing their whispers, Fu Renjie could not suppress a smug expression from creeping up on his face. This was what he wanted to achieve, to embarrass this country hick.
“You better get lost while you can, Tang! If you get chased out later, it’ll be really embarrassing for you.” Fu Renjie sneered.
“Why is it any of your business if I choose to stay or to leave?” Tang Hao replied coldly.
“Oh! Alright! Then stay, and I’ll watch you make a fool of yourself later.” Fu Renjie said spitefully, “I don’t believe for a second that a dumb hick like you will ever be hired.”
“Even if you do, that
’s good too, because then in the future, you’ll be my subordinate. Do you know what position I’m here to apply for? Director! Do you know what a director is? It’s so much higher compared to the position of a factory security guard like you.”
Fu Renjie said somewhat boastfully.
Suddenly, there was a commotion.
The crowd’s gaze toward Fu Renjie had changed slightly.
The position of director belonged to senior management, and there were very few of them in the company. Those who could apply for such a position were not regular folk, they would have had needed to hold this kind of senior managerial position before.
Seeing their admiring gazes, Fu Renjie became even arogant.
Tang Hao rolled his eyes and walked past him, then sat down on his seat.
Fu Renjie froze for a moment, then he turned around to look at him, his expression livid.
Not only did this kid ignore him, but he stole his seat as well. How detestable!’
He clenched his fists tightly. He was so furious that fire almost shot out from his eyes.
Tang Hao leaned against the wall and sat there leisurely, waiting for the recruitment fair to begin.
“You…you bastard. Return my seat at once!” Fu Renjie rushed at him angrily.
“This seat isn’t yours, why should I give it back to you?” Tang Hao asked coldly and rolled his eyes at him. Then, he turned away, ignoring him.
Fu Renjie was so furious that he felt like his lungs were about to burst, his body trembling with rage.
“You… you dirty hick!” He yelled at him angrily, and he raised his hand as if he could not stop himself from wanting to beat him up. Nevertheless, in the end, he just endured it.
He knew that this guy was strong. If he were to start a fight with him, he would be at a disadvantage.
“F*ck you!” He cursed before walking off to the side.
At that moment, there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the corridor.
Tang Hao turned to look and saw that a lady had appeared. She was in standard office lady attire, a small suit, and a pencil skirt that showed off her perfect curves.
Her long slender legs were eye-catching.
Her features were stunning, with a pretty melon seed-shaped face, pale skin, and plump red lips. Her facial features were exquisite and flawless, leaving the others in awe.
At that moment, the men in the corridor had focused all their attention on her, their gaze following her perky chest and beautiful legs.
“Look, she must be here to apply for a job. It’d be great if we could work in the company with such a beauty!”
Many people murmured.
However, Tang Hao was stunned.
He recognized this woman. She was the person that he had saved from those thugs a few nights ago.
“What a coincidence!” Tang Hao grinned, slightly surprised. He did not panic and just sat there naturally. After all, there was no way she would recognize him.
“Hey, gorgeous! How are you?”
Fu Renjie tidied his hair and walked up to her with a sleazy look on his face, greeting her enthusiastically.
The girl looked at him and smiled politely.
“You must be here to apply for a job too! What a coincidence! I’m Fu Renjie, I’m here to apply for the position of director, so we might be colleagues in the future. Therefore, there’s no harm in getting to know each other beforehand.”
“I’m Han Yutong!”
The girl smiled slightly. She then excused herself and walked past Fu Renjie, heading toward where Tang Hao was sitting.
“Hey, beautiful lady! Please sit here!”
In that instant, several men stood up hurriedly.
“Thank you, but I won’t sit, I’ll just stand!” She said before walking to the side and leaning against the wall.
“This time… it’ll work!” She retrieved her resume from her bag, looked through it a few times, and whispered to herself.
Tang Hao glanced at her.
As if feeling his gaze, she turned around. When she saw Tang Hai, she was stunned.
At that moment, she felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity, as if she had met this young man somewhere before. However, he was obviously a stranger.
She thought about it carefully, then dismissed the idea. ‘It must be an illusion!’
Nevertheless, she felt like something was off. ‘Was this young man here to apply for a job? Wasn’t he way too young? He wasn’t dressed for it either.’
“‘This person… is a little weird!’
She thought to herself.
After a while, two people walked out from the end of the hallway and shouted at the candidates, “Please get ready, it’s about to start! When it begins, please enter according to your assigned order.”
As he said this, the two men opened a door at the side.
“It’s starting!” Tang Hao murmured and stood up abruptly, walking toward the door. He managed to squeeze to the front in no time at all.
“Hey, what are you doing? Didn’t you hear them say to follow our order?”
“Yeah, yeah, how rude. Don’t you know how to queue?”
Several people shouted at once.
“A hick is a hick. Not only is he uncultured, but he’s rude as well!” When he saw what was happening, Fu Renjie sneered, mocking him loudly.
Chapter 100 - He Is The President?

“Get lost! You’re just here to apply for the security guard’s position, so what’s the rush?”
“Exactly, go away!”
The group of people behind Tang Hao jeered at him.
At that moment, Tang Hao had already squeezed his way to the front of the door. The two staff glanced at him oddly, furrowing their brows.
“You’re here to apply for the security guard position?” A slightly tall and burly staff asked in an unpleasant tone. “Didn’t you see the notice at the front? Those who are here to interview for factory security have to go to the end of the line.”
“Go, go, go, you can come back in the afternoon.” The other staff said, waving his hand at him.
“Hear that? Hurry up and get lost! Don’t just stand there and continue being disgraceful.”
Fu Renjie yelled at him.
As he said this, he pushed his way through the crowd and smiled at the two staff. “You two, ignore this fella. Can we start now? I’m Fu Renjie, I’m here to apply for the director’s position. This is my resume, you can take a look.”
The two workers took the resume and looked it over. When they were done, they immediately became considerably more respectful.
One of them said politely, “Mr. Fu, please get ready first, we still have to wait a while.”
“We still have to wait?”
“It’ll begin shortly. We heard that the president would be here today to personally pick out his assistant, so we wanted to wait a bit longer. If he’s still not here after a while, we’ll just start without him.”
“The president is coming?” Fu Renjie was shocked.
He had heard about this company from a friend. According to him, the company had a relatively powerful background. Many of its investors were business moguls in the Westridge district, and they had even received strong support from the district’s government.
This company had a huge potential, so he had decided to come here to apply for a job.
The president of this company must not be an ordinary person.
The corridor rumbled with commotion, the crowd becoming excited. This was especially so for the fashionable and beautiful women who were all dressed-up, they became even more nervous and excited.
“I wonder what the president looks like. It’d be great if he was younger.”
“No way, it’d be better if he was older. He’d be mature and stable, and would have a lot of money too.”
The group of girls started chattering among themselves.
When T
ang Hao heard them, he could not help scratching the back of his head, an odd look passing over his face.
“Hey! Why are you still here?” When Fu Renjie turned around and saw that Tang Hao was still standing there, he suddenly became annoyed.
“Hurry up and leave, didn’t you hear what I just said?” The large staff waved his hand, demanding impatiently.
“I’m not here to apply for a job,” Tang Hao replied.
The staff member was stunned for a moment, then he said angrily, “If you’re not here to apply for a job, then hurry up and get lost! Honestly, if you’re not here for a job, what are you hanging around for?”
Tang Hao looked at them incredulously and asked, “You two… don’t know who I am?”
“Who are you? Why would we know who you are? What a joke!” The other staff member retorted.
Fu Renjie snickered. “You’re just a poor hick? Who do you think you are?”
At that moment, the sound of heels clicking against the floor echoed from down the hallway.
It was followed by a woman’s voice, “What’s going on?”
The crowd looked over and was greeted by the sight of a woman in her thirties. She was wearing a professional suit and had short hair, giving off the aura of a strong, capable woman.
“Manager, there’s someone here who’s causing trouble!” The two staff members shouted.
Then, they pointed at Tang Hao.
Tang Hao turned around, and when he saw the woman, he exclaimed, “Big Sis Yan!”
This woman was Liu Yan and had been recruited by Liu Dajun from another company. She was now holding a managerial position and was responsible for the company’s operations.
Liu Yan was taken aback as she exclaimed, “President Tang?”
In an instant, everyone was stunned, their expressions horrified.
Then, they looked toward the young man before them in disbelief.
They almost thought that they had misheard her. Otherwise, why would this manager have called this kid ‘President Tang’? In a company, the only person who would be called ‘president’ by the manager was the president himself.
