Ye Longlin chuckled, "Does it have anything to do with you?"
Yang Qingya snorted, "Tian Ai is my best friend, so why wouldn't it concern me? I've looked into you; you're just a man who climbed the social ladder with a woman's help. What makes you worth my attention?"
Ye Longlin laughed, "You and Lin Tian Ai have one thing in common: people without connections are useless, while those with them are big shots. Am I wrong?"
This statement caused Yang Qingya's expression to shift uncertainly. Wasn't he just calling them hypocritical?
"Hmph, you men in China just complain about women being materialistic, but you never reflect on your own capabilities. And you still have the nerve to say you can't pick up a woman if you're holding a brick. It's hilarious. Men in foreign countries aren't like you.
Abroad, women don't have to do anything at home while men strive outside;
But in China, men even ask women for money, and some even resort to domestic violence. The difference is too vast."
Yang Qingya said proudly, as if her two years of studying abroad were her greatest accomplishment.
Ye Longlin sneered, "If the moon is indeed rounder abroad, why come back instead of staying there permanently?"
"I won't deny that foreigners are more expressive and proactive. But the reality is, Chinese men are reserved and shy. They tend to be passive in front of the girls they like and aren't good at expressing themselves.
On the other hand, Chinese men are willing to spend most of their life's savings to buy a house and put it in your name. Would foreign men do that? No, they prioritize themselves more; they lack the sense of responsibility we possess.
I suggest you stay abroad permanently and don't ruin the men in China."
Ye Longlin, having conquered overseas markets for so many years, knew foreigners very well. Beneath the darkness of human nature, anything could be exposed.
He had seen people who would give their wives and children to invaders to save themselves, and people who would turn a knife on their own family to survive.
Although such instances existed in China, they were largely exceptions. They were more willing to sacrifice themselves to ensure their families' safety.
This was the unique sense of responsibility and commitment of Chinese men!
"Heretical ways!" Yang Qingya, unable to refute him, snorted and fell silent.
Ye Longlin shook his head, "If this is your attitude towards China, I can tell you that you won't pass the interview at Yuanzhan Capital, even if you are very capable."
Yang Qingya glared at him, "Just because you say I won't pass, does that make it so? Are you the boss of Yuanzhan Capital? How amusing. No wonder people say you only know how to talk big. Chinese men are just Chinese men."
She looked down on Chinese men from the bottom of her heart, viewing them as useless.
If her father hadn't insisted she return, she genuinely wouldn't have. Abroad was so much better; the respect she received there was something Xia could never compare to.
"I originally thought of letting you join Yuanzhan Capital because you're Tian Ai's friend, but I never expected you to be like this. I'm telling you clearly, I am the boss of Yuanzhan Capital. No matter how capable you are, I will not allow someone like you into the company!"
A flicker of disdain crossed Yang Qingya's eyes, "You really know how to brag. If that's true, then why would the boss himself come to pick me up?"
Ye Longlin saw no point in arguing with her; he generally disliked people like her.
When the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period of war had begun in China, foreigners were still primitive!
With five thousand years of heritage, he resonated more with the saying: "China is a civilization disguised as a nation."
Soon, Ye Longlin drove to the base of Yuanzhan Capital. The security guards nearby were already preparing to raise the barrier, but a woman alighted from the back seat.
"Please wait here for a moment, no more than half an hour."
Despite this woman's extreme arrogance, her demeanor could still be considered acceptable.
Ye Longlin shook his head, got out of the car, tossed the keys to a security guard, and walked inside.
If he waited for her here, who would interview her?
She was applying for the position of Secretary to the Chairman, and the final decision rested with him.
Back in his office, after signing a pile of documents, Ye Longlin opened his phone, still deciding to wait.
He was waiting for Ye Xingchen's subsequent moves.
Meanwhile, on the other side, after entering the company, Yang Qingya inquired at the front desk and walked directly to the interview conference room.
Several people were already waiting there.
"Yang Qingya?"
Suddenly, a surprised exclamation came. Yang Qingya turned her head in confusion, and her eyes immediately lit up.
"Zhang Keqin?"
"Why are you here? Are you also applying for the Secretary position? Then we're quite the competitors. I'm here to apply for the Secretary position too."
Yang Qingya said proudly, puffing out her chest, which was undeniably ample.
Zhang Keqin shook her head, "No, I'm an interviewer."
Saying this, she rummaged through her bag, found her work ID, and put it around her neck.
Yang Qingya was startled, her expression changed. She gave an elegant smile, "Oh my, I thought you were applying too. We're like family now, hahaha. By the way, have you stayed in Xingcheng since graduation? We're old classmates, you should take care of me."
Zhang Keqin nodded coldly and walked towards the interview conference room. As if remembering something, she stepped back and whispered into Yang Qingya's ear, "I heard there are two ways to select a Secretary. The first is an internal promotion, which I'm also a candidate for. The second is an external recruitment. Do you think you're qualified compared to me?"
They were indeed classmates, but Yang Qingya's character in school was not good. To put it nicely, she was arrogant; to put it bluntly, she looked down on everyone.
Even though she was the campus belle, she was the least liked one.
Zhang Keqin had even been wrongly accused by her back then.
"What do you mean?" Yang Qingya's face darkened as she looked at her.
"What I mean is, I'm an interviewer, and you won't even pass the first round. If I were you, I wouldn't be here to be humiliated."
Zhang Keqin smiled, "Back in school, you falsely accused me of stealing, which prevented me from graduating with a doctorate and even cost me my master's degree. I haven't forgotten that grudge."
Yang Qingya's expression turned cold, and she threatened, "Zhang Keqin, don't forget, this is Xingcheng. Making an enemy of my Yang family will not end well for you. Let me pass, and I guarantee the Yang family will be your backing, and you will become part of the elite."
Zhang Keqin, however, shook her head, "The Chairman said that the company is our backing. Whoever bullies us, the company will stand up for us!"
