Chapter 41 Foolish and Rich People, Come Quickly!
"bite."
The elevator doors opened.
18 floors.
Su Zhan stepped out of the elevator and looked around.
air.
It's so damn empty.
The entire floor was completely empty except for the newly renovated glass doors and white walls; there wasn't even a table inside.
Only a brass plaque with its protective film still on hangs at the entrance:
Jiangbai Charity Foundation
Su Zhan was stunned.
He pushed the door, but it was locked.
Looking through the glass, all you could see inside was air and dust.
"Oh……"
Su Zhan chuckled self-deprecatingly and shook his head.
"I knew it."
"There's no such thing as a free lunch."
"What integrity, what kindness, what ultimate freedom?"
"It turns out to be a shell company."
"No, it doesn't even have a leather bag, it's just an empty shell."
In that instant, the anger of being mocked and the desolation of middle-aged unemployment surged into my heart.
He felt like a fool, being walked around like a dog!
"never mind."
"Go home."
"I really can't make it in this lousy industry anymore."
Su Zhan sighed, turned around, and prepared to press the elevator button to go downstairs.
Just as his finger was about to touch the elevator button.
"Ding-dong—"
My phone suddenly rang in my pocket.
It's not a text message notification sound.
It's that kind of...
The bank notification sound when funds arrive.
That is the most pleasant, most desired, and most haunting sound for all working people!
Su Zhan's fingers froze in mid-air.
He instinctively took out his phone.
On the screen, a text message from the bank caught my eye:
【xx银行：您尾号8888的储蓄卡帐户于9月X日16:30入帐工资人民币30,000.00元。附言：江白慈善基金会-预付三月薪资。】
"?!"
Su Zhan's pupils contracted sharply, and his hand trembled, almost dropping his phone to the ground.
Thirty thousand?
Three months' salary in advance?
I haven't had an interview yet!
I haven't started work yet!
I didn't even get to see the boss!
The money has already arrived in my account?!
Immediately afterwards, the phone vibrated again.
A text message popped up from an unknown number:
Congratulations, Mr. Su Zhan.
After careful consideration by the board of directors, your resume and character perfectly align with the foundation's core values.
We are now formally appointing you as the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Jiangbai Charity Foundation.
Monthly salary of 10,000 (probation period), with maximum social insurance and housing fund contributions.
[Your salary for the first three months has been paid. Please check your account.]
[Additionally: The company is currently in its early stages, and the office space has been rented—this is right in front of you. You are fully responsible for everything, including renovations, recruitment, and project planning.]
There's only one requirement: spend the money wisely, truly helping those in need.
[—Jiang Bai Charity Foundation.]
Su Zhan stood in the empty elevator lobby.
Holding his phone, he looked at the long text message and then at the solid 30,000 yuan in his bank account.
Su Zhan was disheveled in the wind.
"this……"
"Is this some kind of new scam?"
"Pay first, then slaughter the pig?"
"But... I'm already like this, what's there to lie about?"
Su Zhan is a seasoned veteran; he's seen far too many bosses who make empty promises.
Some bosses say, "Work for me, and I'll buy you a house next year," but then disappear when it's time to pay salaries.
Some bosses say, "Even though you don't have money now, you have to have dreams," and then make him work for free for six months.
But like this...
They didn't even meet me, didn't say a word, just handed me the money.
This was the first time he had ever seen it in his life!
"madman……"
"The owner of this foundation is absolutely insane!"
Su Zhan muttered to himself, but his eyes inexplicably felt hot.
trust.
This is an unreserved, almost insane trust!
For a middle-aged man who has just been betrayed, abandoned, and rejected by the whole world.
This trust is heavier and more burning than those 30,000 yuan!
"Fully responsible..."
"Truly helping those in need..."
Su Zhan looked at the brand-new bronze plaque on the glass door.
I initially thought it was just an empty shell.
Now, however, he felt as if there was an idealistic glow shining on it!
"free?"
"Ha, it really is... absolute freedom."
Su Zhan smiled.
His laughter was somewhat unrestrained and exhilarating.
He placed the cardboard box containing the old items on the ground.
He straightened his previously hunched back.
"OK!"
"Since you dare to trust me, Su Zhan."
"Since you dare to hand over this mess... no, this shell company to me."
"Then I, Su Zhan, will sell my life to you!"
"Do you do charity work?"
"What I'm best at is turning the impossible into the possible!"
He took out his phone, ignoring the text message from the unknown number confirming his successful job application.
Instead, he directly dialed the numbers of several old friends who were stored in his contact list and whom he hadn't contacted in a long time.
Those were several journalists, accountants, and legal staff who, like him, were ostracized for their integrity.
"Hello, is this Lao Zhang?"
"Stop delivering takeout."
"Come work for me."
"Yes, there's a new boss."
"This boss... he's got too much money and no brains, come quick!"
……
night.
Jiang Bai, having eaten and drunk his fill, let out a burp and walked out of Quanjude.
Completely unaware that he had become the "foolish and rich" boss that Su Zhan described.
He has only one thing on his mind right now—
Back to the hotel, time to sleep!
He spent the whole day working on that damn audition, and he still had to maintain his "goddess" persona. He's exhausted.
Back to the hotel.
Remove makeup and take a shower.
The moment the hot water washed over his body, Jiang Bai felt as if he had finally come back to life.
"call……"
"It's more comfortable being a man."
He dried his hair as he walked out of the bathroom and collapsed onto the bed.
I picked up my phone and glanced at the time.
8 PM.
It's still early.
"Now that you've passed the audition, we'll sign the contract tomorrow..."
"Then it's time for two days of awesome fun!"
"We'll play until Saturday, then buy tickets to go home."
"I can rest on Sunday."
"Next Monday..."
Jiang Bai's face fell when he thought of the arrangements for next Monday.
Next Monday.
Dress rehearsal for the freshman welcome party.
In other words, he would have to put on that shameful white dress again and sing "I Love You" in front of everyone.
"What a tragedy!"
Jiang Bai let out a wail and covered his head with a pillow.
Just then.
A news notification suddenly popped up on my phone.
[Breaking News! Inside Story of Casting for "Beauty's Rival in Palace" Leaked!]
Yu Zhengsheng praises the "divine beauty" of the newcomer, calling her "Zhang Yan, the chosen one!"
According to sources, the newcomer stunned everyone at the audition, delivering a phenomenal performance!
Upon seeing the title, Jiang Bai, who was on his deathbed, was startled awake.
"Holy crap?!"
"It leaked out so quickly?"
"What the hell is this 'Chosen One Zhang Yan'?"
He quickly clicked on it.
The news report stated that a "mysterious newcomer" suddenly appeared on set, with stunning looks, captivating Yu Zheng so much that he even rewrote the script specifically for her.
The comment section below has exploded.
"Who is it? Who has such a big face?"
"Could she be some family's little princess?"
"She can play Zhang Yan? I don't believe it! Zhang Yan is my ideal woman, if she ruins this, I'll send her razor blades!"
"I heard he's a complete novice? My expectations are through the roof!"
Jiang Bai breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing these comments.
It seems that old fox Yu Zheng really kept his promise and kept his gender a secret, only revealing that he would be playing the role of Zhang Yan.
