Chapter 1512 - 1515: Who's Setting Me Up?
Seeing Shen Qiang standing at the entrance of the community, two old men who seemed to be wandering also stopped and looked at the billboard with Shen Qiang. After several glances, one of the old men said, "This big sign was put up three days ago. I thought it wasn't safe to place it there."Hearing this, Shen Qiang smiled. The sign was put up three days ago right at the entrance of the community where he lived. Was this a coincidence?
Shen Qiang wasn't quite sure, but then he couldn't help feeling a bit lucky because generally, these kinds of high-level talent consultants usually set up in commercial office building areas, don't they?
They chose to advertise opposite the residential community next to the Medical University.
There was something vaguely unusual about it.
Looking at the billboard, Shen Qiang even vaguely felt that the billboard seemed tailor-made just for him.
Time: three days ago.
It was the time when Datong River's Beijing branch urgently needed to recruit a manager.
Then this sign appeared here. If Shen Qiang had noticed at that time, he probably would have called without a second thought.
But now, hearing Bianyi say that this is how real talent recruitment should work, and then seeing this sign appear in front of him, it felt as if he was hungry, and suddenly a pile of steaming pancakes fell from the sky.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it, maybe it's all just a coincidence."
Shen Qiang warned himself and then took normal steps toward the school.
But just as Shen Qiang was about to enter the school, a business car drove past him, with the same image as the billboard sprayed on the side of the car.
"Heaven and Earth Advanced Talent Consultants?" Shen Qiang raised an eyebrow, with a slight mischievous smile on his lips.
He entered the Medical University's graduate school.
The public lecture in the morning was not complex nor interesting. The stunning campus queen, Qin Yurou, was shy and delighted, yet maintained a distant state.
The cute girl Abi was truly adorable, though her audit score was again rated as zero.
Besides that, Zong Zijin, the hypocritical fellow, had mixed well with the people in the graduate school, appearing to have good relationships with everyone except Shen Qiang.
Not only that.
Not only was Shen Qiang being ostracized by his classmates but also Qin Yurou.
The two 'lions,' as the lecturer referred to, barely spoke with anyone except each other.
So after class, it was quite natural for the two to chat together, walking around the campus.
Casually chatting about some gossip from the cultivation world, like the Hua Mountain Sword Sect's head disciple eloping with the little junior sister from the Emei Sect, or the old Taoist from Yuxu Temple and the nun from Ci Yun Temple fighting over Monk Mingkong, interspersed with some random pop singers Shen Qiang knew nothing about, or heartrending plots from soap operas.
Overall, it felt like Shen Qiang and Qin Yurou were awkwardly chatting while walking around the campus.
Qin Yurou took care of the conversation.
Shen Qiang took care of feeling awkward, and besides her beauty, Qin Yurou seemed to have no other attraction for Shen Qiang. But since it was just to kill time, everything was fine.
However, after Shen Qiang and Qin Yurou awkwardly walked around and returned to the flower bed.
They saw the charming girl Abi, adorably sitting by the flower bed, drinking milk tea. Beside her was prepared red tea for Shen Qiang and milk tea for Qin Yurou, and bizarrely, there was a magazine with the cover being the same man on the billboard opposite Shen Qiang's residence.
Not only that, the whole photo and advertisement had no difference.
This instinctively made Shen Qiang frown, then asked curiously, "Abi, who left this magazine here?"
Abi was stunned for a moment, then replied, "A woman did. She sat here just now, using this magazine as a cushion, then seemed to receive a call and left."
Shen Qiang laughed, responded with an "Oh," then picked up the magazine and flipped through it. The magazine was called "Soaring Entrepreneurs."
Inside, it was talking about the man's story of entrepreneurship, opening a headhunting company, how it grew from two people to fifty, generating millions annually, now having nearly a billion in assets.
Of course, there was that particular enlarged advertising slogan.
Seeing Shen Qiang's eyes flash, with a slightly strange smile on his lips, Qin Yurou asked in surprise, "Do you know the person on the cover?"
Shen Qiang shook his head, glanced at the magazine date, and found it was two months ago. Still, he then sniffed the pages, smelled the fresh ink, which pleased Shen Qiang even more.
Because everyone who has touched a book knows.
New books have a special fresh scent; old books, even untouched ones, don't have it.
So with a light sniff, Shen Qiang could confidently judge this magazine was new, even if the edges were scuffed, looking old, but the scent couldn't be masked. Not just that, Shen Qiang, afraid of his judgment being inaccurate, directly activated the Observation Skill.
Sure enough, under the Observation Skill, Shen Qiang was distinctly sure this book was printed just yesterday.
And this meant Shen Qiang's judgment was correct; pies don't fall from the sky for no reason.
The billboard at the community gate, the advertising car when approaching the school, and this magazine were all deliberately arranged by someone.
As humans are the only beings capable of psychological suggestion.
Just like love, the more someone appears in front of you daily, the more reliable they seem.
Billboards, mobile advertising cars, inspiring success stories, when all these are displayed before someone, replacing any ordinary person with little vigilance, they would immediately believe the existence of this company.
Unfortunately, their plan could be considered flawless.
But they overlooked one point, which was Shen Qiang in a foreign land, whose alertness is unimaginable to ordinary people.
"Smells good, huh?" Abi's voice startled Shen Qiang, who then saw the charming girl Abi's smile suggesting he had a quirk.
Shen Qiang was puzzled; at this moment, Qin Yurou beside him also appeared confused.
Completely not understanding their reaction, Shen Qiang's phone rang. While answering the call, he handed the magazine to Qin Yurou, saying, "The date is two months ago, but this magazine was printed yesterday."
After speaking, the call connected, and Shen Qiang heard the excited voice of Fire Lotus Demon Ke Bizhu.
"Shen Qiang, I spoke with the headhunting company people. They happen to have a restaurant manager who wants to switch jobs, and then..."
"Wait a minute!" Shen Qiang interrupted, "What's the name of that headhunting company?"
"Heaven and Earth Advanced Talent Consultant Ltd."
