Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Someone nearby explained, "He was seriously ill before and was in a vegetative state. He has only recently recovered."

Liu Guoguo suddenly realized and said, "Oh? Is that so... So, Zixuan, are you trying to replicate your college persona, just like how you were filial to your mother before, and use your brother to act out a tragic drama again to win the sympathy and favor of the HR of the Restoration Path?"

She deliberately widened her eyes, as if she were very surprised.

Wu Zixuan's eyes welled up with tears. She clenched her teeth and remained silent.

"No harm intended, I hope you don't mind, and I wish you good luck."

Liu Guoguo said something lightly, then turned and left.

"I'm going to the bathroom."

Wu Zixuan also turned and left, but Li Lan saw her almost uncontrollable tears.

"Does she have a grudge against Zixuan?" Li Lan asked Sun Zihan casually.

Sun Zihan's expression was slightly complicated as she whispered:

"Liu Guoguo was our classmate. Back in college, our college had one spot for the top ten students. Liu Guoguo was also very outstanding. She was good at dancing, playing the piano, and had many talents. She also frequently participated in charity events... But the college leaders gave the spot to Zixuan."

"Because Zixuan was working part-time while studying and earning money to pay for her mother's medical treatment. She was also the top student in our grade at the time... Because of this, Liu Guoguo has always been very unhappy."

A chill ran through Li Lan's heart.

Things like being named one of the top ten students really mean nothing. Even if someone is extremely wealthy or powerful, it has no meaning in Li Lan's eyes now... But Liu Guoguo's mockery of Zixuan did make him feel a little uncomfortable!

……

"Sister Fang, there are so many people who meet the requirements. If we interview them one by one, when will we ever get the chance?"

Two staff members were whispering, with the younger one complaining.

The older woman, addressed as Sister Fang, pondered for a moment and said, "Let me take a look at the list."

She took the list, glanced at it, and said, "These names like Zihan, Zihan, Zihan, Zixuan, Zixuan, Zixuan... all of them are out."

"Yes, these people, Liu Guoguo, Xu Hezi, Zhen Qianqian, Zhou Xiaolu... these people will be interviewed."

The young staff member asked in surprise, "Sister Fang, how did you choose?"

Fang smiled and said, "Names like Zihan, Zihan, Zixuan, and Zixuan are usually given to children from poor families. Generally, highly educated or wealthy families wouldn't name their children that way."

"On the contrary, names like Liu Guoguo, Zhen Qianqian, and Zhou Xiaolu clearly indicate that they come from powerful and influential families."

"Do you think this makes sense?"

The young staff member was impressed but didn't quite understand!

“In the past two years, spiritual practice has become increasingly dependent on family background. If you don’t have family resources, you won’t go far in the future, so it’s unnecessary.”

Fang added a sentence.

The young staff member nodded and then asked, "Sister Fang, what about this one named Li Lan?"

"Anything is possible, but at 41 years old, he's still looking for a job. What do you think? He's already been laid off by ordinary companies many times. What would you do with him?"

Fangjie continued.

The young staff member immediately nodded and announced loudly, "Liu Guoguo, Zhen Qianqian, Xu Hezi... come with me, you've passed the initial screening."

Immediately, a group of young men and women in the crowd stood up. Sure enough, their temperament was quite different from the others. They did not have that restraint or awkwardness. They were confident, well-dressed, and clearly distinguished from the people around them.

"Oh, what about us?"

"What's going on? Is the initial screening checking family background?"

"We're not convinced!"

Some of the others were indignant.

"Why……"

At this moment, Sun Zihan, Wu Zixuan, and the others also had extremely ugly expressions.

They were all prepared to be rejected, but they didn't expect... to be rejected so easily and with such disrespect!

All that careful preparation, and you don't even have the right to say a single word?

"Oh, I said before, those who follow the Way don't care much about studying, or rather, society doesn't care whether you study well or not."

At this moment, Liu Guoguo walked past them, smiled slightly, and said, "Zixuan, perhaps you could talk to HR and say that your brother was in a vegetative state and that you took such good care of him that he woke up. HR will be touched, right? Considering your brother's condition, she might take pity on you..."

There was no attempt to hide the mockery in her eyes.

In reality, for someone from her background, an honor like being named one of the top ten students doesn't mean much. What she can't forget is that she was once outshone by a girl from a poor family...

So, today everything has been taken back.

Only after getting it back can she resolve her inner conflict. From now on, she will draw a line between herself and people like Wu Zixuan, parting ways forever and living in completely different social strata!

Wu Zixuan remained silent, while Sun Zihan and the others looked grim.

"Oh, since you've put it that way, then it would be a shame if we didn't talk to HR."

At this moment, Li Lan spoke calmly and then said loudly:

"Miss Zheng Fang, please come here for a moment—"

His voice was clear, yet it carried distinctly and powerfully through the noisy hall.

Everyone was somewhat surprised. They could protest, but who would dare to call the HR by name and ask her to come over directly?

Zheng Fang frowned as well. Were these job applicants really so ungrateful that they wanted to cause trouble?

It seems it's time to teach them a lesson and let them know that the Reincarnation Sect is not a place where just anyone can run wild.

She walked up to Li Lan coldly and asked, "What is it?"

Her aura was already faintly released, indicating she was at the second level of Qi Refining!

She was already a Qi cultivator, and her aura was enough to make an ordinary person unable to breathe!

"Your brother seems a bit tactless..."

Liu Guoguo clearly knew about cultivators, and couldn't help but chuckle, taking a step back, unwilling to be implicated.

"elder brother……"

Wu Zixuan, steeling herself, tugged at Li Lan's sleeve, worried that Li Lan would cause trouble.

But Li Lan remained calm and said, "Yes, there are two things."

"First, regardless of their family background, since they've come here, they should be given a chance."

"Secondly, you should change your position; HR is not suitable for you."

This statement shocked everyone present!

Everyone stared at Li Lan in disbelief.

Is this guy crazy?

How dare they speak to the HR of Fudaozhe like that?!

"Is this guy here for an interview? I feel like he's here to become the chairman of the board."

"But what this guy said was really satisfying!"

"This guy is someone I can get along with. Even if we're not exactly friends, I'll treat him to a pack of cigarettes when we go out!"

Many people spoke up.

Zheng Fang was also stunned for a moment. She really didn't expect that someone would be so brave.

Then came anger...

Her authority was challenged, her personality and character were offended... She was furious and wanted to teach Li Lan a lesson!

But at this moment, Li Lan had already gently taken out a nameplate, placed it on the table, and said calmly, "Do you think there's a problem?"

Zheng Fang, who was about to lash out, was stunned when she saw the nameplate!

She stared at Li Lan in disbelief, her face flashing with a mix of shock, doubt, regret, and other emotions.

"Yes...I'm sorry!"

Having worked in the workplace for many years, she reacted extremely quickly, completing the bowing gesture almost instantly. Extremely polite, she said in a trembling voice, "I didn't know it was you, I'm sorry!"

She directly...apologized!

Upon seeing this, everyone in the room was instantly shocked.

Wu Zixuan, Sun Zihan, and the others were also instantly stunned.

Liu Guoguo, who was waiting to see the joke, was now completely stunned... What the hell is this??

……

I only caught five fish in three days. That's terrible.

I'll continue writing for now, and go fishing again when the weather is more stable.
