Chapter 19

When the clouds part to reveal a Monday, it is a truly good day—the kind that calls for going to work! Jun Chen safely dropped off Shen Liuli at her company and then hurried over to Modu University to check in. As expected, the director of human resources had been replaced. Out of more than four hundred applicants vying for five positions, four were connected through backchannels, leaving only three slots. The sole applicant without connections, Jun Chen, had been personally approved by President Wei Wuxian. It was a choice of two out of four—though a two-on-two contest still gave room for maneuver. Just as the president was hesitating, another slot vanished, filled by a direct parachute appointment from above, turning the contest into a choice of one out of four, a three-to-one mismatch. The grand outcome was sealed! Moreover, they were strictly required to choose one from those four remaining candidates, while the resumes of everyone else had already been sent off to the scrap dealer. Perhaps this was simply the will of heaven.
