Rebirth of a Top Student's Handbook

Why did everyone stand us up?

"And why aren't these people coming?"

Zhou Min's face looked terrible.

Today was supposed to be the day for new employee onboarding training, but since last night, the HR department has been receiving calls and text messages from these interviewees saying that they have other commitments and are not considering joining the company.

"They must have poached our staff!" Manager Lu from the HR department said with a heavy expression.

The company has just signed a big contract and received a large order, so it's the perfect time to find suitable candidates.

As a result, all 42 new employees he recruited suddenly had other commitments and didn't come.

Something is obviously wrong.

"Do you know who it is?"

Zhou Min's feelings were very complicated at this moment.

Zhou Min felt both annoyed and relieved, with a complex mix of emotions.

"It should be this company called Zhongchuang Intellectual Property, which was just registered this week."

"Registered capital, paid-in capital of 5000 million."

As he spoke, Manager Lu handed the documents in his hand to Zhou Min.

Last night, when he received a series of no-show calls from interviewees, he realized something was wrong.

Even though the interviewee was unwilling to reveal much, he still managed to get a general understanding of the matter through his connections in the industry.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Min's brows furrowed, and she sighed, saying, "A paid-in 5000 million... just as I expected..."

When Zhou Min first founded the company, his original intention was indeed to provide a better market environment for scientific and technological researchers and to protect the patents and technologies of Chinese people.

At that time, Zhou Min was also happy to have competitors so that they could work together to make the industry bigger and stronger.

However, given how much Zhou Min has invested, it's impossible for her not to be bothered when a company suddenly appears and is clearly targeting her.

After taking a deep breath, Zhou Min continued, "Have you investigated the background of this company?"

A paid-in registered capital of 5000 million!

A company that can come up with this amount of money all at once is definitely not a small company without a background.

Zhou Min is now considering whether to downsize the company and cut her losses in time.

Zhou Min was well aware that this kind of intellectual property company did not have any core technology.

In the later stages of business, it all comes down to capital and connections.

And I just happen to lack both.

Zhou Min was quite self-aware of this.

Manager Lu glanced at Zhou Min's face upon hearing this, and seeing that she remained relatively calm, he replied, "Um... the legal representative of this company is also a student from Capital University."

Prior to this, Manager Lu had always believed that Zhou Min and Capital University were deeply intertwined.

He had always thought that Capital University would be the strongest support for Zhou Min's company.

He had this in mind when he chose to join this company, but what has he seen now?

Another student from the Capital University also started an intellectual property company.

This company was clearly targeting Huachuang Intellectual Property Company.

In this situation, who will the Capital University help?

At Manager Lu's prompting, Zhou Min also noticed the name "Feng Pinling" in the legal representative section of the documents in her hand.

Zhou Min was startled by the sudden appearance of the name.

Since Feng Pinling changed dormitories, the two have never crossed paths again, and Zhou Min has completely forgotten that such a person ever existed.

Although surprised, Zhou Min quickly composed herself and asked, "Who's behind her? Have you found out?"

Zhou Min knew very well that Feng Pinling did not have this ability on her own.

Who is the person behind her?

Zhou Min's mind raced, but she still couldn't come up with a single clue.

At this moment, Zhou Min couldn't help but start to regret her actions.

I regret that I ignored Feng Pinling before.

As someone who has also been reborn, how could she possibly be content with mediocrity?

Especially when things don't go your way, using the prophet to trip you up seems like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.

In this situation, I should pay more attention to her and be on guard.

But now is not the time for regrets. Zhou Min just wants to know more details so that she can determine how to deal with the situation at hand.

"Hmm...it should be the bookmaker!" Manager Lu's tone was slightly hesitant.

"The bookmaker?" Zhou Min repeated, looking puzzled.

Although Zhou Min now owns a company worth over 100 million yuan, her daily social circle mainly consists of students and teachers from the school.

Zhou Min never attended those business gatherings.

Therefore, Zhou Min knew absolutely nothing about the wealthy circles in the capital.

"Yes, the information I received is that this company went through a fast track for registration, through connections made by a middleman."

Manager Lu's connections could only uncover this much information; he knew nothing more.

What did the bookmaker do before?

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

Even if you're unsure whether your opponent is a bookmaker, it's always good to know more.

"The Zhuang family is a long-established family in the capital, and their main business is in the cultural and media sector. Their involvement in the intellectual property industry this time is quite sudden."

Zhou Min nodded upon hearing this and did not ask any further questions.

Manager Lu was just an ordinary person and knew very little about the affairs of these wealthy circles.

It's in vain to ask.

Moreover, if this matter is really as sudden as Director Wang said, then it is most likely aimed at me.

Since they're targeting me, it probably won't be long before we meet face-to-face.

After Zhou Min told Director Wang to continue recruiting, she sent him back.

After Director Wang left, Zhou Min started searching for information about the bookmakers online.

The internet today is far less developed than it would be in later years. After searching around, Zhou Min could only find information about the Zhuang family's business scope and their history of how they made their fortune.

As for who his main family members are, this information is completely unavailable.

Unable to find the information she wanted, Zhou Min thought for a moment, then took out her phone and made a call.
