Chapter 509: Ill Intentions

In the end, those foreigners were taken away by the cops, and even that school official who had passed by and Fang Yaqiong went along to give their statements.

After all, the incident had caused quite a stir, so they needed to account for what happened.

“Thank you all!” Su Mansu said gratefully.

“You’re welcome!” Liu Yutong replied.

Yu Xin said, “Professor Su, don’t you remember me?”

Only now did Su Mansu recognize her. To be fair, she had been absolutely fuming just now.

“Yu Xin, oh my, look at my memory. You were the one who hosted me when I visited your school for that exchange, right? Thank you.”

She then looked toward Liu Yutong and Lan Die. “Are these two your classmates?”

Before Yu Xin could introduce them, Liu Yutong extended her hand with a faint smile. “Professor Su, I’ve long admired your work. The way you stepped up just now was truly admirable.”

Su Mansu shook her hand, her tone carrying a hint of resignation. “Sorry you had to see that. Actually, this isn’t the first time something like this has happened. There was another incident over dorm assignments before. But most of the time, it gets swept under the rug in the name of the bigger picture, just like what almost happened now.”

“Anyway, forget it. Yu Xin, where’s that boss you mentioned on the phone?”

Though she and Yu Xin hadn’t met many times, they talked very openly. Mainly, this girl Yu Xin really spoke her language.

She had previously vented online to Yu Xin about her dissatisfaction with her current job, never expecting Yu Xin to proactively offer to introduce her to an absolutely fantastic boss.

Su Mansu had originally thought Yu Xin was joking with her. She never imagined Yu Xin would actually run all the way to South City to contact her.

Yu Xin pointed at Liu Yutong. “Right here, right in front of you.”

Su Mansu: “???”

She had assumed these two were Yu Xin’s classmates. She clearly guessed wrong.

This girl who looked several years younger than herself was actually an entrepreneur. It truly surprised her.

Liu Yutong said, “Let’s make a formal introduction. I’m Liu Yutong, Chairwoman of the Wanlong Society Group.”

“Professor Su, I’ve read your resume. That speculation you wrote on consumption reform over the next decade while teaching at South City University left a deep impression on me.”

Su Mansu had originally thought Liu Yutong was just a small startup boss, but when she heard the word “Group,” she was taken aback again.

Generally speaking, only companies with several thousand employees and assets in the hundreds of millions or even billions would dare to call themselves a Group, right?

This girl was actually the chairwoman of a group-level enterprise?

That’s incredibly impressive!

From childhood, Su Mansu had always been called a genius. Very few people her age could command her respect. She never expected to meet one right before her eyes.

Even if the other party’s company was inherited, that would still be incredibly impressive.

Most people wouldn’t dare to let their children take over the reins so early.

Also, the name Wanlong Society sounded odd to her. It didn’t sound like a company steered by a woman at all; it resembled more of a club or organization.

But she didn’t think too much about it. After restraining her surprise, her expression clearly became more formal.

“I didn’t expect Chairwoman Liu to pay such close attention to me. It’s my honor.”

Liu Yutong said, “To be honest, after reviewing your materials, I think you could try for the Board Assistant position.”

“At the very least, at Wanlong Society, you won’t need to have so many reservations, especially when it comes to not having to swallow your pride before outsiders.”

Su Mansu seemed to understand her meaning. Moreover, the other party clearly knew she had a straightforward personality, yet still said such things. It seemed this Wanlong Society Group might truly be a good place to go.

Unlike her current teaching profession, where everything required layer upon layer of approvals, seniority-based hierarchy, and consideration for the bigger picture…

Just like today, where the other party clearly started the trouble, yet they were always the ones forced to swallow their anger. Sometimes she truly felt aggrieved.

This was also one of the reasons why she wanted to resign.

Just as she was weighing her options.

Yu Xin came in with the assist. “Professor Su, you have to trust my judgment. Sister Yutong is absolutely a fantastic boss. You have nothing to lose by trying.”

Hearing this, Su Mansu took a deep breath and looked at Liu Yutong, asking the question she cared about most.

“Wanlong Society… is it legitimate?”

This question came so out of left field that it almost left Liu Yutong and the others speechless.

She had imagined Su Mansu would ask about position and salary, never expecting this.

Could it be that she had made a mistake letting Ma Da come up with the name Wanlong Society?

Many people had actually asked this question before, and it left her speechless every time.

Wanlong Society is such a large group, how could it not be legitimate?

Yu Xin couldn’t help but laugh. “Oh, Professor Su, you’re just too cute. Of course Wanlong Society is a legitimate company! We’re a large group with nearly ten thousand employees, we pay our taxes according to law, and we provide full social insurance and benefits. How could we not be legitimate?”

“Sorry, sorry.”

Su Mansu said somewhat embarrassedly, “Mainly, your company’s name really is rather unusual. Someone like me doesn’t want any involvement with gangs either.”

She herself was quite upright and had a strong hatred for evil. Naturally, she didn’t want to unwittingly join some kind of gang.

That’s why she couldn’t help but ask this rather abrupt question.

“I understand. But I can guarantee you that Wanlong Society is indeed a legally compliant and legitimate company,” Liu Yutong said.

Su Mansu nodded. “Then I’ll give it a try. Thank you for giving me this opportunity.”

Actually, with her qualifications, she wasn’t without opportunities to apply for Board Assistant, General Assistant, and other positions at other major companies.

Yet she so readily chose the company Yu Xin recommended precisely because the new boss was a girl, and a very young and beautiful one at that.

Going forward, facing such a young female boss would be much better than dealing with those pot-bellied middle-aged men, right?

Liu Yutong extended her hand. “Welcome to Wanlong Society!”

Yu Xin also said happily, “Welcome to Wanlong Society, Professor Su!”

Although Su Mansu was certain they weren’t lying, for some unknown reason, she felt as though she had boarded a pirate ship. It was a strange feeling.

To celebrate Su Mansu’s joining, Liu Yutong planned to treat everyone to a meal. Actually, this showed she really had no airs about her.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have taken the initiative to seek out Su Mansu, but rather waited for her to come for an interview.

This was perhaps because Wanlong Society’s origins were somewhat… grassroots. Everyone was accustomed to addressing each other as brothers and sisters, without deliberately adopting that strict superior-subordinate workplace mentality.

So she seemed quite approachable.

Liu Yutong and the other three found a well-reviewed casual eatery near the university and had a meal.

This was everyone’s collective choice, because it would be convenient for going shopping after eating.

But before they could finish eating and leave, they once again encountered Hawk and his group, and they had brought a bunch of hired thugs.

The expression on Liu Yutong’s face turned cold. “This is getting out of hand, isn’t it!”
