Villains in Film and Television: Starting with Yang Ke in "The Golden Age"

"Everything else is fine. Except for one time when Wang Yongzheng changed the paint on the school's procurement list, everything else was fine. The reason for changing the paint was to maintain the hotel's uniform color scheme."

Jiang Nansun didn't think much of it and just told Zhang Anren what she knew. She felt that there was nothing to hide between them; it was just casual conversation.

"Oh, that's actually Wang Yongzheng's fault too. How could he not follow the rules?"

Zhang Anren listened very carefully, but still shook his head without revealing his thoughts, as if to say how could Wang Yongzheng make such a mistake.

"It's alright, mainly because the paint we bought before didn't match the hotel's color scheme. Wang Yongzheng bought relatively better ones."

Jiang Nansun was in charge of the design work and was just starting his doctoral studies, so naturally he couldn't compare to Zhang Anren, the teaching assistant, and couldn't see anything wrong with it.

"Okay, let's eat quickly, Nan Sun. Don't you have something to do with Professor Dong today?"

Zhang Anren intended to report Wang Yongzheng's matter to the authorities, so he wanted to get rid of Jiang Nansun.

After all, it would be dishonest for him to do this, so it would be best to keep it from Jiang Nansun.

Yang Ke was unaware of what was happening with Zhang Anren, but he knew that as long as Jiang Nansun told Zhang Anren about Wang Yongzheng changing the paint, the two would naturally start arguing, and that would be his turn to step in.

"Hello, who are you?"

Yang Ke had just received a call from an unknown number, but it was a private number, so he answered it.

"Mr. Yang, I am Yuan Yuan from the coffee shop before, the waitress you gave me your business card."

"I'd like to ask if I can still come to your company to learn? Although I don't know much about sales, I will try my best."

Yuan Yuan immediately explained her situation.

At this moment, she felt extremely wronged because she was actually asked by a wealthy woman to apologize to a dog, which made her instantly turn ruthless.

In the past few days, she actually found Zhang Anren, but unfortunately, Zhang Anren was at a crucial stage of staying at the school and was afraid that the matter would be exposed and damage his image at the school, so he pretended not to know Yuan Yuan.

Coupled with this work-related incident, Yuan Yuan, who was already heartbroken, completely dropped her pretense.

Even if Yang Ke had other ideas about her, she was willing to stand up for him.

"Oh, Xiao Yuan, I remember you."

"I still have a strong impression of you. I just didn't hear from you that you were coming to work at the company, so I thought you didn't want to come."

Yang Ke didn't expect Yuan Yuan to approach him at this time, but he didn't refuse her request.

"How about this, are you free now? If you're not busy, you can come to my company and we can chat. If everything is fine, you can start working here anytime."

Yang Ke thought about it and asked Yuan Yuan to come to his company as well. This was mainly because Wang Yongzheng's paint-changing incident was likely to cause problems with Zhang Anren's public image.

If Yuan Yuan were to step in and attack Zhang Anren at this point, even if Jiang Nansun were magnanimous and had a good relationship with Zhang Anren, she would still be disappointed.

Then the news broke that Jiang Pengfei's debts led to the Jiang family's bankruptcy. Could Jiang Nansun not see through Zhang Anren?

“Okay, Mr. Yang, I have already resigned and can come over anytime.”

Yuan Yuan didn't expect Yang Ke to agree to her interview so quickly, so she hesitated for a while before finally choosing a new outfit and rushing to the company address on Yang Ke's business card.

After giving instructions to the front desk, Yang Ke returned to his office. He hadn't had to handle anything lately, as Tang Xin and Li Ang had managed the company very well.

In terms of sales, although Yang Ke doesn't make many purchases, he can usually persuade top-tier wealthy individuals to buy houses thanks to his eloquence, so the sales department's performance is quite impressive.

After the funds were fully recovered, Yang Ke planned to merge the two companies and move to the new office building awarded by the system.

They only use the top few floors there; the rest are rented out. Yang Ke also plans to change the office space that the system just gave him.

The main problem is that separate offices are indeed inconvenient, and this place is only one floor, which is clearly not suitable for the scale of his future company.

"Knock knock."

"Mr. Yang, Ms. Yuan, whom you asked to speak with, has arrived."

The receptionist knocked on the door, interrupting Yang Ke's thoughts, and started talking about Yuan Yuan's arrival at the company.

"Okay, please let Miss Yuan in, and pour her a cup of coffee. I won't be entertaining any more guests."

Yang Ke meant that Yuan Yuan should come in, and no one else should bother her.

"Okay, Mr. Yang."

The girl didn't pay attention the day before yesterday; it's still very important to be observant and perceptive at work.

The boss told Yuan Yuan to come into his office without calling her, which means he didn't want to be disturbed. If he brought Yuan Yuan in now, it would only make things difficult for the boss.

"Yuan Yuan, you're here. Sit down and let's chat. Don't be nervous."

Yang Ke also sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, smiling and greeting Yuan Yuan.

"Yang, Mr. Yang."

Yuan Yuan had never met a billionaire like Yang Ke before. Before, she was just a regular employee, and all she had to do was avoid making mistakes. But now that she was at Yang Ke's company, she felt a lot more intimidated by his presence, and naturally, she became nervous when she spoke.

"Don't be nervous. Since you've come to my company, you must have thought it through, right?"

Yang Ke also gestured for Yuan Yuan to sit down first.

"kindness."

Yuan Yuan didn't know what she had decided, but she knew that this might be one of the few opportunities she had to gain a foothold in Shanghai, so she naturally agreed.

"Okay, the coffee's here. Calm down first, and we can chat slowly. I don't have any work scheduled for this afternoon."

Yang Ke also suggested that Yuan Yuan could drink some coffee to calm down before talking.

He was worried that Yuan Yuan might not be able to accept what he said and would start yelling and screaming.

Although this is unlikely to happen, Yang Ke should still avoid it if possible.

Yuan Yuan quickly regained her composure, mainly because after being humiliated before, she had developed a certain admiration for the strong.

"Mr. Yang, can I work at Golden Years Company?"

Yuan Yuan wasn't completely clueless; she had already inquired about Yang Ke's company.

I was quite envious when I learned that this company had been doing very well in the past month or so, and that even the sales staff were willing to buy cars.

Now that an opportunity has presented itself to her, she naturally doesn't want to miss it.

“Yuan Yuan, you can not only work here, but you can even become one of the company’s top salespeople. You have that talent.”

"Your talent just needs someone to discover it, and that person happens to be me."

"Of course, all of this is on the premise that you want to."

Yang Ke also gave an ambiguous answer.

"I don't understand. I will listen to whatever you say, Mr. Yang. I am just a girl from an ordinary city, but I also have ambitions and want to gain a foothold in Shanghai."

Yuan Yuan wasn't pretending to be a "green tea" girl; she just felt a bit like an innocent lamb in front of these big shots.

Instead of pretending, it's better to be straightforward.

Yang Ke was quite satisfied with Yuan Yuan's choice.

He didn't want to put too much effort into dealing with this scheming female supporting character; it would be best if they could reach an agreement directly.
