Because the first resume looked good, it belonged to the other young man who remained.
Zhang Xiao, male, 17 years old.
Personality evaluation: The employee is patient, ambitious, and good at learning.
Ability Evaluation: Normal socializing ability, weak organizational ability, currently no position recommendation.
Potential evaluation: He has quite a lot of potential when it comes to socializing and management. You can arrange a cultivation plan in this direction appropriately.
Overall evaluation: An employee with more than enough potential to be in middle management.
‘Even though he hasn’t got any stars, he’s actually not too bad. He’s only 17 years old, but he already has a lot of potential. He’s worth nurturing.
‘I didn’t expect the first resume to be so good. I can’t wait to see what the other seven resumes will look like.’
As expected, the next three resumes did not disappoint him.
Especially the third one, the old man’s resume was shockingly good!
‘He’s actually a 2-star talent, plus this is because he is old and his various abilities have deteriorated.’
Su Yang flipped back to his resume and realized that the old man had carried a gun for the first half of his life and fought against the Japanese before. He was a middle-aged man who worked in a state-owned enterprise and had made great contributions to the reform and opening of the country. His highest position was that of a vice-president of a large state-owned enterprise.
Looking at the old man’s resume, Su Yang felt that he was the backbone of the country’s development. It was also his contributions and sacrifices that allowed their country to prosper.
Su Yang took out the old man’s resume and placed it aside. He felt that no matter how much ability he had left, the things he did were enough for Su Yang to respect and give him a second life.
Su Yang continued to scroll down. The other resumes were also not bad. At least, they were all at Wang Dong’s level and were useful. He flipped through them until he reached the last resumes.
When Su Yang first saw the last resume, he did not pay much attention to it. However, when he saw the rating and star rating, he immediately stood up!
After he stood up, he exclaimed in surprise, “How is this possible!”
With Su Yang’s current composure, there were not many things that could surprise him. It was because the resume clearly stated, [Five-Star talent]!
‘Five-Stars!’
Su Yang was stunned. He felt that if the resume could shine, it would definitely be shining with a gold light!
Zhao Licheng, male, 43
Personality evaluation: This person treats others sincerely, has a gentle personality, integrity, influential, patient, ambitious, decisive, persistent, confident and tenacious.
Ability evaluation: Strong management ability, strong organizational ability, strong interpersonal ability, strong social interaction ability, strong personnel identification ability, strong financial management ability, recommended to be a professional manager at a corporate level.
Potential evaluation: Most of his potential has been cultivated.
Overall evaluation: A giant python with the characteristics of a dragon. It was a pity that he did not receive the right opportunities. If given the right opportunity, he would have had the chance to become the leader of one of the top 30 corporations in the country. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and could only struggle in a quagmire. The very definition of how one won’t be able to excel without having met the right opportunities despite being born with gold armor.
Comprehensive evaluation: Five-star!
This was the first time Su Yang had seen a resume that had a higher overall rating than the others. However, this was enough to show how amazing Zhao Licheng was!
‘A python with characteristics of a dragon? A leader in one of the top 30 corporations in the country? Gold armor?
‘No matter which evaluation it is, he’s still terrifying!
‘This is the strongest person I’ve seen so far!
‘Forget the team that joined me from [In] Company, even Li Zijun is no match for him completely!
‘This person is actually so awesome!’
Su Yang was surprised.
However, after the shock, there was only joy left in Su Yang’s heart.
He was laughing so hard that his eyes had almost closed up completely. ‘I’ve found a treasure, I’ve actually found a treasure.
‘After all, I have everything at the moment. I’ve got both money and resources. However, I lack a leader who would be able to take care of a large corporation. I lack a talent who has management skills of his level.
‘Unexpectedly, such a talent has suddenly been delivered into my hands. That means… My plans to fly off into space can finally be set in motion!
‘However, the system said that he could only struggle in quagmire? Did something happen to him?’
As Su Yang thought about this, he flipped through his work history and realized that he had established an online education company eight years ago. There had been no changes since then.
‘Could this be the quagmire?
‘If he’s managed to turn his company into a quagmire, then Zhao Licheng wouldn’t be as outstanding as the system has evaluated him to be, would he?’
As he thought about that, Su Yang asked Little Deeny to check on his online education company.
‘Hmm… it’s valued at ten billion yuan and has been funded for close to six rounds. Its investors are all first-rate domestic venture capital agencies and… Tencent. According to Little Deeny’s judgment, this company should be listed on the IPO soon. By then, its market value will be more than five or six times higher.
‘F*ck, are all companies with a valuation of five or six billion yuan considered to be a quagmire?
‘I doubt there’d be any problems for this company to be ranked at the Top 300 listings in our country!
‘Yet, you’re deeming this as a quagmire?
‘System, are you crazy!
‘Your evaluation on this is even more inconsistent than [A Small Goal]’!
‘CEO Wang would say, “Set a small target first and earn 100 million yuan.”
‘Then, you, the system, would say, “Don’t enter this kind of quagmire company worth 50 billion yuan.
‘Tsk tsk.’
As Su Yang lamented about the inconsistency of the system, he smiled slyly and could not even close his mouth. This was because, the stronger Zhao Licheng was, the better hSu Yang’s development would be. Therefore, it was only natural for him to be happy.
Little Deeny was standing behind Su Yang, looking down and fiddling with something. After a while, she revealed a sly smile just like Su Yang.
Janet looked at the two of them and his eyelids twitched. ‘They really look alike…’
After he was overjoyed, Su Yang calmed down. He was about to go to the circus to take a look when he suddenly stopped.
He took out the [Emotional Storage Card] from his pocket. He wanted to see if an [Emotional Coin] would be born when he was so happy.
With that thought, he opened the [Emotional Storage Card] and saw that there were indeed a few [Emotional Coins] inside.
There were two [Neutral], three [Joy], and one [Anger]. It looked like they were born from the changes in his emotions over the past two days. As expected, when he was happy, they would give birth to [Emotional Coins].
‘I’m guessing that it’s because of that young man who did not trust me.’
Now that the [Emotional Coins] were born, Su Yang had no idea how to use it.
He would spend the next two days thinking about it, but he could not think of anything useful.
‘Am I supposed to wait for someone to be unhappy before I give them [Happiness]?
‘I doubt it’s that simple.’
Therefore, as he pondered, he put the [Emotional Storage Card] away and left the castle to “recruit” Zhao Licheng.
Arriving at the circus to patron, Su Yang placed his hand on the circus and chanted in his heart, [Switch to Master mode].
The circus flashed with a gold light and a notification popped up.
[Mode Switching Completed]
After switching, Su Yang walked into the circus and went to his throne. He picked up the notebook and summoned Zhao Licheng.
When Zhao Licheng appeared, Su Yang realized that he was the reliable middle-aged man that he had noticed earlier.
He was not tall, around 1.7 meters tall. He had short hair, wore a suit and looked very capable. There was a smile on his face and he seemed very easy to get along with.
Realizing that he had been summoned, Zhao Licheng bowed to Su Yang and greeted him first. “Mr. Su.”
Evidently, from their previous interactions, he already knew where he stood and had quickly adjusted his mentality. However, with his pride as a human, he still could not call him “master”.
On the other hand, Su Yang did not care about this. The reason why he used the term master and servant on them was to let them understand his position. He was not a pervert and did not need them to be his servants. As long as they could work for him, he was not bothered with how he was addressed.
Su Yang nodded. “You can just address me like that in the future.”
He paused and continued, “I’ve seen your resume, it’s not bad. You have a way with business management. If I give you a company, can you operate it quickly and develop it well?”
Zhao Licheng was very honest. He explained, “It depends on the company and industry. I’m confident that it can develop better, but the exact scale depends on many factors.”
Su Yang nodded. He was even more satisfied with Zhao Licheng now.
He said, “Right, other than managing the company, what else are you good at?”
Zhao Licheng said frankly, “I’ve been focusing on my company all these years. There’s really nothing else I’m good at. If I have to say, I’d say that I’m pretty experienced in chess.”
‘Chess eh…’
Su Yang thought for a while before opening [Reincarnation] and adding chess in to the list of competitions.
[Please pay 100 kilograms of raw meat to change the match events.]
‘As expected, this works.’
Su Yang raised his head and looked at Zhao Licheng. “In that case, I’ll give you a chance. As long as you’re able to win in this chess match, I’ll revive you.”
Hearing that, Zhao Licheng’s eyes flashed with excitement. “Really?”
Su Yang saw his gaze and nodded. “Yes.”
Then, Su Yang added, “However, you might change after you revive and become different from how you used to be, so you’ve got to be mentally prepared. Also, after you revive, you have to give up everything and serve me wholeheartedly.”
Zhao Licheng hesitated for a moment before asking, “Can I meet my family?”
Su Yang did not answer his question. Instead, he asked, “You are already a dead person to them. In fact, you might not even be human after you are resurrected. You and your family are destined to be people from two different worlds and there will not be many opportunities for you to interact with them in the future. Do you think it is appropriate to disturb them and prevent them from starting a new life?”
Zhao Licheng’s face was deathly pale and his mind was shaken. However, he bit his lips tightly and refused to let go.
Su Yang looked at him for more than one minute. Even though he looked hesitant, he was unwilling to compromise. Su Yang knew that Zhao Licheng was insistent and if he did not let him see his family, even if Su Yang revived him, he might not work hard for Su Yang.
After much consideration, Su Yang decided to give him a chance. “If you insist on meeting them after your revival, I can give you a chance. However, I might have to use my method to ensure that they won’t expose us.”
Zhao Licheng asked, “What method is that?”
Su Yang stretched out a finger. “It’s a contract. However, it won’t hurt them. It’s just to prevent them from exposing your matter.”
This was Su Yang’s biggest concession and it was on account of Zhao Licheng being a five-star genius.
‘After all, I’m going to have more and more talents in the future. If everyone wants to meet their families like Zhao Licheng, wouldn’t the world be in chaos?
‘It would not be long before the news of their resurrection gets spreaded around the world.’
That was why Su Yang did not want these people to interact with their past.
‘However, rules are meant to be broken. So I could break some rules for some people
‘For example, Zhao Licheng is a five-star talent. In order to bring out his full potential, I’m willing to let him do whatever he wants, even if I might have to use a precious position in my [Absolute Verbal Contract].
‘Looks like this Silver Ability needs to be upgraded too. Otherwise, there won’t be enough slots to use anymore!’
Zhao Licheng did not disappoint Su Yang. After Su Yang agreed to let him see his family, Zhao Licheng quickly bowed deeply to Su Yang and said, “Thank you, Mr. Su! I will definitely display all my talents in the future to help you develop your company.”
Su Yang was satisfied…
After that, Su Yang reminded Zhao Licheng about the competition. He told him that there might be massacres or violations of the rules during the competition, so he had to be extra careful.
After that, Su Yang chose the fastest way to have actors selected. There would be one game per day, one reincarnation every two days. He intended to revive Zhao Licheng as soon as possible and get Zhao Licheng to work for him.
After setting it up, Su Yang left the circus and got Janet to buy meat while he continued to research projects suitable for Mei Yue with Little Hus. Although Produce 101 was very suitable for Mei Yue, if there were better projects, Su Yang did not mind changing it.
And then… A day passed and there was no better project to be found.
The next morning, Su Yang, who had been busy the whole day, got up and left the castle. He entered the circus and wanted to see the results of yesterday’s competition.
When he saw it, he was dumbfounded…
Because something that he thought was a hundred percent successful had actually happened.
Zhao Licheng had lost.
The winner was still Sea Snake No. 13.
Su Yang frowned and summoned Zhao Licheng.
After Zhao Licheng came out, his suit was tattered and stained with blood.
Su Yang asked, “What happened to you?”
Zhao Licheng smiled bitterly and said, “I lost.”
Su Yang was speechless.
“Is it the sea snake?”
Zhao Licheng looked up with a puzzled expression. “What sea snake?”
Su Yang guessed that the system might not have told his opponent his name, so he said, “It’s the one who’s wearing a clown mask.”
Zhao Licheng nodded and said calmly, “Yes, it’s him. I met him in the fourth round. He’s very skilled in chess, but he’s still not my match. It’s just that he’s… Cheating.”
Su Yang asked, “Cheating?”
