What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 140 I Can Fight Back
broken!

be cheated!
As the host Zhang Shaogang introduced the program and process, Tang Jun quickly came to his senses after a brief moment of astonishment and even panic, and realized that the program team had no good intentions in inviting him.

If they respected themselves, the program team would not have invited the fake-busting Yu Xing!

Taking a step back, if they still have a little respect for themselves, they could at least let me know!
Now like this...

This is no longer a matter of respect!

This is not treating yourself as a human being!
Tang Jun frowned slightly, and moved his butt slightly. A hesitant thought flashed through his mind: should he just stop recording now?
Since they have bad intentions, just leave.

However, the next second, this hesitation disappeared. Things are different now. I am no longer the much-watched working emperor. Now such a public platform is a rare opportunity.

Besides, the program has just started recording, and Yu Xing over there hasn't said anything. If I leave now, wouldn't it seem too guilty?
I can go this time, but what about next time?

Tang Jun breathed in and out gently, adjusting his mood and calming his tension.

When the first contestant was about to go on stage, the nervousness disappeared and there was even a hint of excitement.

Tang Jun is not a rookie entering the workplace. Although his academic qualifications are problematic, his years of experience in Japan, Wall Street, Microsoft, Shanda, etc. are all solid. So, when he thought about the situation he is facing now, he suddenly felt that this is also an opportunity for him.

If such an encounter with counterfeiters could be handled on such a public platform, the matter would be over to a certain extent.

Tang Jun knew that many people admired the strong, but his wealth was still among the top.

He adjusted his expression, and even the excitement in his heart became calm. Looking at the first job seeker who came on stage, he had only one firm thought in his mind.

It's a trap, but also an opportunity!
I can take a chance!

I can fight back!

"Hello everyone, I'm Meng Haoyu, an international student from Colgate University in the United States, studying Native American Studies. I hope to find a suitable job today."

The first international student to come on stage introduced himself. Even though the bosses had read his resume in advance, they all frowned.

Where did the program crew pull these wild onions from?
You studied Native American studies. How can we find a suitable job for you when you return to China?

In addition, the resume also shows that this international student has not obtained a degree, and it should take another year to graduate.

After the job seeker introduced himself, host Zhang Shaogang also mentioned this special situation to the audience: "Meng Haoyu, I noticed that you came back without getting your diploma. What's going on? Also, why did you choose to study such a major?"

Meng Haoyu answered honestly: "I have been thinking about this question for the past few years. Why did I choose to study such a major? Then, I couldn't figure it out and felt that it was meaningless to continue studying, so I dropped out of school and came back."

There was a slight laugh.

Meng Haoyu added: "I don't want to stay in the United States to develop, I still think China is more suitable for me."

"So..." Zhang Shaogang emphasized and asked sharply, "You can't stay abroad, or you don't want to stay abroad?"

Meng Haoyu was speechless for a moment.

"Since you don't want to study this major, why don't you change your major?" Zhang Shaogang asked puzzledly.

"I didn't think too much about it at the time. I applied for studying abroad in the first place, and then I kept studying. Last year, I saw some people starting internships and looking for jobs, and I was confused and felt that there was no point in continuing my studies." Meng Haoyu talked about his mentality, "That is, I feel that I studied abroad for the sake of studying abroad."

Zhang Shaogang nodded and held out his hand for the BOSS guest to speak: "Okay, I see Mr. Bi Sheng from LeTao.com has been raising his hand. He must have a lot to say."

Letao.com is a vertical e-commerce website founded last year, which received funding from angel investor Lei Jun.

Bi Sheng is the founder and was once an employee of Baidu. After founding LeTao.com, he started by selling toys and this month he just started internal testing of selling shoes.

As soon as he got the microphone, he got straight to the point: "I think this student should not appear on our stage. What he should do most now is to go back to school and at least get his diploma. Otherwise, the past three years will be a waste of his life!"

"Colgate University is a good school. Its diploma is useful. Even if you studied a really useless major, the diploma can still serve as a stepping stone."

"Otherwise, what are you now? A dropout? A high school graduate?"

"Are you looking for a job with your high school diploma?"

Before Zhang Shaogang could speak, another BOSS guest picked up the microphone and raised his objection.

Both are vertical e-commerce companies, both were founded last year, and both have "Le" in their names, but the founder is far more famous than Bi Sheng. Li Jing, chairman of Lefeng.com, spoke up.

She is a well-known host in China. She left CCTV in 1999 and has a widely circulated program called "Very Quiet Distance". She founded a website last year and established her own brand "Jingjia" this year, which is mainly a fashion shopping platform for women.

"I don't agree with Mr. Bi's opinion. On the contrary, I think it is very valuable that Meng Haoyu can realize his mistakes."

"What do you want him to study when he returns? Study Aboriginal culture for another year?"

"There is no doubt that he must be in great pain after returning. Otherwise, he wouldn't be unable to endure it now."

"I think he can start over. Education is not the most important thing. What is important is to improve his abilities. It will be difficult for him to improve himself if he returns to the United States and that painful environment."

"Instead of wasting another year, why not start a new life now!"

Li Jing turned her gaze from Bi Sheng to the job seeker and encouraged him, "Meng Haoyu, everyone will have a period of confusion. You should remember the pain of that confusion and then motivate yourself to keep moving forward. This is what I want to tell you."

After she finished speaking, she turned off the light with a click.

The whole audience was shocked!

Meng Haoyu, who was feeling moved, was also stunned!

Zhang Shaogang asked quickly: "Li Jing, Li Jing, aren't you encouraging him? Why are you turning off the lights?"

"I encourage him to move forward, but he is not suitable for my company." Li Jing said seriously, "He is here to apply for a job, and I am here to recruit people. This is the most important point."

Zhang Shaogang said helplessly: "Okay, Li Jing, but I have to remind you that it's not time to press the lights yet. If you want to follow this process, you are not only the boss, you are also a host."

Li Jing smiled and apologized: "Yes, yes, Shaogang, I forgot that I am the host."

There was laughter again.

At this time, Tang Jun, CEO of Hong Kong and Macao Information, raised his hand.

Zhang Shaogang extended his hand to signal, and then introduced: "Okay, Mr. Tang Jun from Hong Kong and Macau Information also has something to say."

Because this is the first episode, he needs to provide the audience with basic information about the BOSS guests present.

However, it was obvious that many people knew Tang Jun, who had just been in the spotlight a while ago. The atmosphere at the scene not only became a little subtle, but also a burst of whispers could be heard.

Tang Jun noticed this change, but his emotions remained stable. The first thing he said with a smile was self-deprecating.

"I think Meng Haoyu is okay. At least he graduated from a regular university."

No one expected that the fallen working emperor would be so direct when he came up, and there was a lot of laughter. Self-deprecation is always a good way to dispel embarrassment.

There was no script for the recording of the program, but the bosses had received the resumes of the job seekers in advance. After noticing Meng Haoyu's experience, Tang Jun felt that he was a good entry point for himself.

"Study abroad for the sake of studying abroad. I believe this is not the case for Meng Haoyu alone."

"In fact, when choosing a major after the college entrance examination in China, I believe that many people make ignorant choices, or even just follow their parents' advice, and then don't like it when they get to university, and become at a loss when facing graduation."

"This condition, whether mild or severe, should be relatively common."

Tang Jun gave an extended explanation of the situation and noticed that some of the audience members nodded. His emotions then became more stable and he spoke more freely.

"Meng Haoyu chose Aboriginal studies in order to study at Colgate University, which was definitely a mistake. Then he did not change his major in time and studied for three years, which was definitely a mistake."

"Even if you don't change your major, you can actually take more useful elective courses, but Meng Haoyu didn't do that. He was still wrong."

"I noticed that there was one word that was very accurate in his description of himself - confused."

Tang Jun spoke eloquently, without any stage fright, and turned to an important angle to solve the problem: "But ask yourself, whose youth is not confused? Who has not made mistakes, big or small?"

He pointed at himself with a wry smile: "I have made mistakes, and I have made mistakes that are much more serious than Meng Haoyu's. But as the ancients said, it is good to know one's mistakes and correct them. I think Meng Haoyu has realized his mistakes. It is a kind of courage for him to come to this stage."

"He has to face the scrutiny of a group of bosses, the eyes of the audience and the public, but he still came, and I am willing to give him a chance."

Many sharp-minded people could tell that this was not talking about the job applicant, but clearly about himself.

However, the BOSS has the initiative, and the opportunity Tang Jun gives now is exactly what Meng Haoyu needs.

Tang Jun smiled at the job seeker on the stage and said, "No matter what, I will keep the light on for you until the end, Meng Haoyu, come on!"

A self-deprecating opening + life lessons + encouragement and motivation + keeping the light on to support.

The reaction from the audience this time was actually some applause.

Tang Jun was very satisfied with the applause. Although it was not very enthusiastic, it was undoubtedly a very good appearance.

"Okay, Mr. Yu Xingyu, the CEO of Bai Xiaosheng, raised his hand. He also has something to say."

A word from the host once again echoed throughout the audience.

The faint smile on Tang Jun's face quickly disappeared, and his heart sank unconsciously. Here it comes...

Yu Xing picked up the microphone, faced the camera, and agreed: "Senior brother is right, he always has..."

Before he finished speaking, laughter broke out from below!
This laughter was much louder than the applause just now.

At the beginning of the show, the host introduced the identities of the 12 BOSSes one by one. There were listed companies like Ctrip that have been established for many years, as well as vertical e-commerce companies that have adapted to the development of the industry. Bai Xiaosheng, which was only launched in November last year, is undoubtedly a company with very little experience.

However, a large portion of the audience were college students.

Bai Xiaosheng launched an information campaign targeting college students last year, and now it is holding another round of regular activities as graduation season approaches. Coupled with a series of events in the past six months, such as Internet love and marriage, Ctrip layoffs, and the working emperor, its reputation among the audience is actually quite high.

Therefore, as soon as Yu Xing's identity as a "senior brother" was revealed, the audience who were keen on gossip and had time for it instantly got his point.

The laughter was contagious and the whole audience burst into laughter!
Several bosses were confused and looked around, not understanding why everyone suddenly started laughing.

Tang Jun knows!

He tried hard to control his expression, but it still looked a little dark, and two words popped up in his mind: bad seed!

Yu Xing gave the camera an innocent expression and spread his hands towards the audience, without even finishing his sentence.

The laughter gradually died down.

"What are you laughing at?" Yu Xing gave a puzzled expression, then suddenly said, "Oh, Mr. Tang is really my senior. I am a doctor from the University of the West Pacific and have a degree certificate."

The laughter that had just disappeared reappeared.

Then, under the gaze of the camera, audience, guests, host and Tang Jun, Yu Xing skillfully took out a wrinkled and rolled-up certificate from his pocket.

Clearly marked prices, no deception!
Doctoral degree certificate for overseas returnees!

Specially taken down from the wall!
Yu Xing stretched out his hand slightly, and a whole English certificate appeared in the camera.

The audience in the audience not only laughed loudly, some of them were laughing so hard that they were bent over.

Tang Jun couldn't control his expression at all, but he had to try desperately to control it, and his facial muscles became extremely strange.

Bad seed, bad seed!
The host, Zhang Shaogang, still maintained order and handed it over: "Okay, okay, Mr. Yu, put it away. No one doubts your degree certificate."

"Oh, I'm a suspicious person, so I'm afraid of being suspected by others." Yu Xing added seriously.

The laughter that had just been controlled resounded throughout the venue again.

Zhang Shaogang put his hands on his hips helplessly.

Tang Jun was completely regretful in his heart. He should have left as soon as possible...

Now, this...how do we go about this?
If he left in the middle of recording, wouldn't that mean he was chased away by Yu Xing?
Tang Jun felt a little confused.

Yu Xing rolled up the certificate and put it away. When the laughter stopped, he said seriously, "To be honest, I started my business last year and just stepped out of the campus into society. I don't know how to give you advice."

"But what Senior Brother Tang said just now was very good. Your summary of yourself is quite accurate. You are confused."

"So, one of the things that confuses me is that you were confused when you were on stage. Did you really stop being confused after being on stage for a while? Did you have an epiphany? Did you clearly know what you wanted?"

"I just thought about it. If I were you, I wouldn't choose any business today. I need to figure out what I really want first."

Yu Xing reached out to turn on the light, and finally said, "Go down and calm down."

Click, the lights go out.

There was no chicken soup, but instead there was warm applause at the scene. I don't know what the applause was for the speech made by the returned doctoral student.

Meng Haoyu nodded silently.

The process continues, the guests turn on the lights, clack clack clack…

The bosses turned off their lights one after another, and soon only Tang Jun's light was still on. He also wanted to turn off the light at this moment, but he had just said something to show his support by keeping the light on, so the lone light was extremely conspicuous and embarrassing at the scene.

Tang Jun had a wooden expression. It would be better to leave some lights on than to be... dead.
