Chapter 38: The Sleazy Zheng Jian

“Classmates, this time when you go to Longhua Capital for your observation internship, make sure not to leave the group without permission!”

You have a senior who is currently interning at Longhua Capital; she will be your team leader.” Hu Zhifang frowned as he looked at the noisy crowd, then said to Zheng Jian, “Zheng Jian, organize the discipline!

“Yes, teacher!”

Zheng Jian immediately stood up, climbed onto the front stage, and shouted loudly, “Classmates, please quiet down, don’t make things difficult for the teacher.”

Although he was only the life monitor and not the official class monitor, it was clear that in Hu Zhifang’s heart, Zhou Yuntao, the class monitor, didn’t compare to him.

Everyone was quite indifferent to this guy, but out of respect for Hu Zhifang, no one said anything.

Looking at the gradually quieting crowd, Hu Zhifang nodded with satisfaction, feeling that the person she had chosen was indeed the right one.

“Zheng Jian, you organize everyone to go. Your senior will be the team leader at the destination.”

In a company, it’s different from school. Don’t wander around. Investment companies value business confidentiality.

“Don’t worry, teacher. My uncle is a senior executive at Longhua Capital. He’ll look out for me, so there won’t be any problems,” Zheng Jian said confidently, patting his chest. Mentioning his senior executive uncle, he couldn’t help but feel a bit proud.

“Hmm, I still trust you to handle things,” Hu Zhifang said with a smile.

  ……

“Tch, no other class has a position like class life monitor. This suck-up really knows how to please the teacher,” Li Rui couldn’t help but sneer; he truly disliked Zheng Jian from the bottom of his heart.

“Yun Tao, organizing discipline is clearly your responsibility as class monitor. Why does the teacher let Zheng Jian handle it?” Zhang Long was also indignant, speaking to Zhou Yuntao, who looked rather displeased.

Hearing them defend him, Zhou Yuntao smiled and said, “It’s nothing. The reason I ran for class monitor was just to make it easier to join the student council later.

Isn’t it better that Teacher Hu doesn’t assign me tasks? I should be the most relaxed class monitor among several classes.”

Xu Yuan looked at the severely divided class and just smiled quietly to himself. University is a small society; there are all kinds of people.

When these students start working, they will find that there are many people even more cunning and servile than Zheng Jian.

If you say you haven’t encountered them, it can only mean you are really lucky, or that those cunning and servile people are smarter than Zheng Jian, making you suffer losses without even realizing it.

No matter how popular Zhou Yuntao is, if Hu Zhifang doesn’t see it, it’s all empty talk. Zheng Jian knows how to flatter the teachers; even if most people dislike him, some will still flatter him because of Hu Zhifang.

For example, right now, a few boys were running around helping Zheng Jian organize the line.

“Everyone line up, keep order, stand straight.” Zheng Jian’s roommates and lackeys were also riding on his coattails.

They even deliberately spoke loudly in front of Zhou Yuntao.

“Tch.” Li Rui sneered disdainfully.

“I told you to stand properly, did you hear me?” The boy was very displeased with Li Rui’s disdainful attitude.

Zhou Yuntao frowned and said to him, “Xu Rang, this isn’t military training. As long as no one leaves the group, it’s fine, right?”

“Zheng Jian, the class monitor, is such a lackey. Now even the lackeys have their own lackeys. I’m really impressed!” Li Rui’s irritable personality wouldn’t allow him to say anything tactful; he directly expressed his dissatisfaction.

The boy named Xu Rang felt both annoyed and embarrassed upon hearing this. Some things are better kept in mind, but saying them out loud is just asking for trouble.

“Brother Jian’s uncle is a senior executive at Longhua Capital. If you don’t want this report to get a zero, you’d better watch what you say!”

Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this, not expecting Zheng Jian to have such connections.

But when Li Rui’s temper flared up, no one could stop him. He shouted angrily:

“Damn it! Now you’re threatening me, huh? I just don’t accept that, so what!”

Li Rui stepped forward, his burly body like an iron tower, causing Xu Rang to nervously take a step back.

The commotion here quickly caught Zheng Jian’s attention, but he didn’t bother to intervene, only sneering inwardly.

Zheng Jian was actually hoping Li Rui would make a big deal out of it, so that Hu Zhifang would have to handle it personally.

“Enough, Rui!”

Xu Yuan grabbed Li Rui; once this guy gets riled up, most people really can’t stop him. If he actually hit someone, he’d have to face disciplinary action.

Flattering the leader is the same as offending the leader; if it escalates to Hu Zhifang, Li Rui would be at a disadvantage.

Li Rui turned to look at Xu Yuan, realizing the other was worried about his impulsiveness, and gradually calmed down.

Xu originally thought this muscular tough guy was going to beat him up, but now it seemed he was just all show and no substance.

“Hmph.” Xu Rang snorted mockingly, then turned and walked away.

Seeing the other’s attitude, Li Rui’s anger, which had been suppressed, suddenly flared up again.

“Damn, in this world, there really are all kinds of people! Even if Zheng Jian’s uncle is a senior executive at Longhua Capital, he’s still Zheng Jian’s uncle, not his own, right?” Li Rui asked the classmates around him with a puzzled expression.

“Forget it, calm down, there’s no need to argue with him,” Zhou Yuntao comforted Li Rui from the side.

  ……

The bus arrived at Longhua Capital, and everyone got off, all somewhat amazed as they looked at the building before them.

Longhua Building!

“Longhua Capital is a well-known big company in our capital city, and this entire building belongs to Longhua Capital,” Zheng Jian proudly introduced to everyone.

His uncle is a senior executive in this kind of giant corporation, not just a low-level employee.
“An entire building, how much must that cost?”

Everyone was somewhat amazed, wishing they could join such a company after graduation.

“Hello, juniors, I am your team leader.”

Just as everyone was sighing, Shen Yueshu, dressed in professional attire, walked over confidently.

“Shen Yueshu?” Xu Yuan was a bit surprised. No wonder he had seen her wearing professional attire before; it turned out she was interning at Longhua Capital.

This woman’s hair had changed color again. It used to be multicolored, but now it was brown.

But thinking about it, it made sense. Having overly colorful hair at the company would definitely leave a bad impression.

“Senior Shen!” Zheng Jian scampered over eagerly, his sharp-featured, monkey-like face looking quite sleazy.

Not only the boys, but even the girls with them felt that this guy was really sleazy.

“Hello.” Shen Yueshu just nodded lightly, maintaining a polite smile.

“Senior, which departments can we visit this time?”

They were all just freshmen, with no clear goals for the future, and everyone was very eager to find out what their future work would actually involve.

Shen Yueshu smiled at everyone and said, “Longhua Capital involves departments such as investment management, asset management, entrusted property management, investment consulting, marketing planning… and so on, most of which are confidential to outsiders.

I am currently in the marketing department as an intern stock manager. I will take everyone to experience the working environment and atmosphere of a stock manager.”

“Brother Jian, isn’t your uncle a senior supervisor at Longhua Capital? If he leads us on a tour, can we visit more departments?”

Xu Rang spoke loudly, so everyone present could hear him, with a hint of showing off.

Zheng Jian heard this and couldn’t help but raise his head, enjoying the surprised looks from everyone. He cleared his throat and said, “My uncle is quite busy, but since we can visit all day, I’ll ask him then.”

Shen Yueshu glanced at the smug Zheng Jian and said softly, “Senior managers don’t have the authority to cross departments administratively. This time, only the marketing department is open to outsiders.

But our company’s cafeteria is very good. Everyone can try it at noon.”

“Hmph, senior manager, I thought it was something impressive.”

I don’t know who said it, but Zheng Jian’s face turned bright red with embarrassment. He glanced at the crowd behind him, trying to figure out who had spoken just now.
“Alright, let’s set off now. Everyone, follow me.”

  ……

Inside the building, there were many people coming and going.

There were six elevators in total, but only one was open for their use. There were more than 30 of them in total, so they definitely couldn’t all fit at once.

Shen Yueshu let most of the people go up first, staying behind with the few others to wait for the next round.

“Senior, you’re really amazing to have secured an internship at Longhua Capital!” Zheng Jian, that sycophant, quietly activated his talent again, his eyes greedily scanning Shen Yueshu’s graceful figure.

Shen Yueshu glanced at him and just smiled without saying a word. Could she not see what dirty thoughts he was harboring?

Seeing that Shen Yueshu ignored him, Zheng Jian shamelessly leaned in closer, trying to deliberately get close to her, but unfortunately, she skillfully dodged him.

“I’ve never seen someone so shameless.” Li Rui really felt like vomiting. How could there be such a disgusting person?

Xu Yuan also took a deep breath; this Zheng Jian was truly nauseating.

“The elevator is here.”

Xu Yuan stepped forward, just managing to shove Zheng Jian forcefully away from Shen Yueshu’s side.

“What are you doing?” Zheng Jian’s thin body almost stumbled, and he questioned Xu Yuan unhappily.

Shen Yue’s beautiful eyes looked at Xu Yuan with some surprise. Was he standing up for her?

“Taking the elevator, didn’t you see it coming?” Xu Yuan turned back and smiled at Zheng Jian.

Li Rui had somehow already stood behind Zheng Jian, ready to act at any moment.

Zheng Jian felt a chill down the back of his neck. When he turned around, he saw Li Rui and could only swallow his anger back down, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.

“Junior, you’re quite the gentleman, huh?” Shen Yueshu stuck her tongue out at Xu Yuan, making a cute expression.

Xu Yuan rubbed his nose and instinctively took a step back.

“Tch, I thought you had really come to your senses.” Shen Yueshu pouted, turning her head away with a bit of a tsundere attitude.

Zheng Jian looked at the two of them being so intimate, and the anger in his heart grew stronger.

At the last gathering, it was Lin Wan’er, and now it’s Shen Yueshu—why do they both have feelings for this Xu Yuan?

This guy usually has no presence in the class at all! And he’s the class monitor appointed by the teacher!
“Make way, please make way.”

Just as a few people were about to enter the elevator, a voice suddenly came from behind.

Xu Yuan inexplicably felt that the scene was somewhat familiar. Could it be another “Wang Xinji”?

“President Ye!” Shen Yueshu looked at the newcomer and immediately stepped aside, respectfully making way.
