What's wrong with me being a rich man?

Chapter 141: Debate between Brothers

The recording of "If You Are the One" saw Tang Jun and Yu Xing clashing overtly and covertly, but the former was clearly at a disadvantage.

The first job applicant did not choose to accept the job just because Hong Kong and Macau Communications kept the light. He did not care about the experience of this boss or that boss, nor did he care about the confrontation on the stage. He was indeed confused.

The four BOSSs spoke from different perspectives, and the more so, the more confused he became.

Therefore, Meng Haoyu decided to go down and calm down.

In addition to the 12 BOSS guests, there were also 2 educational and psychological consultants on site, who also gave analysis on the situation of the first guest.

It was not until Meng Haoyu bowed and left the stage that the awkward lonely light on the stage was extinguished.

Tang Jun was in a heavy mood, but he still maintained his dignity in the end. He took the initiative to applaud and encourage the international student to keep working hard.

However, although he tried hard to maintain his decency, he could still feel the teasing looks from many people at the scene.

To be honest, he felt that his previous speech was very organized.

But... he was directly crushed by the mess of the guy named Yu!

Tang Jun could feel that the window of opportunity to clear his name was shrinking, and the plots and ideas he had prepared in advance seemed to be no longer applicable.

He observed Yu Xing on the other side with his peripheral vision and found that he seemed to be recording the program with great interest.

Tang Jun's thoughts turned again and again, and gradually he decided to make a desperate effort to solve this problem.

Let’s not talk about chicken soup or the meaning, let’s just talk about the reality that everyone is in.

Chicken soup and meaning can play a small role in the current situation, and their scope of application is also limited. Only the reality that everyone can see is the sharpest weapon.

While Tang Jun was thinking about the situation in his mind, he continued to participate in the program recording in a perfunctory manner.

There are a total of 5 contestants in the first episode of "If You Are the One". Since it is the beginning of the recording, the host, contestants, guests and audience all need to be familiar with the entire process and scale.

Therefore, there were some redundant highlights in the recording process of the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th job seekers.

Among the 12 BOSSes on the scene, there are competitors, such as Baihe.com and Zhenai.com, and projects with similar entrepreneurial angles, such as vertical e-commerce companies LeTao and LeFeng. After meeting the first two job seekers, everyone gradually figured out the rules of the game and was not reluctant to express their own views and try to shape their image.

After all, one of the main purposes of recording a show is to promote it.

Fortunately, although the process is long, it can be edited in the end, and the program team and the host are not in a hurry.

As for Yu Xing, he was not in a hurry either. Instead, he felt quite happy.

This was the first time I participated in such an event on TV. I felt fresh from the bottom of my heart, not to mention that there were people on the scene helping to accumulate traffic for the website, which made me even more relaxed. However, Tang Jun seemed to suddenly become silent.

Yu Xing didn't know whether Tang Jun had given up or was still planning on it, but with the certificate in hand, there was nothing to be afraid of.

The recording started at 1:30 p.m. and ended at 5 p.m. During the three and a half hours, there were job seekers arguing their case, BOSS guests quarreling from restraint to excitement, and laughter and boos from the audience.

Yu Xing felt that if an episode was edited like this, the show would be quite good.

The fifth and final job seeker came on stage, and there was not much time left before the end of today's recording.

Yu Xing thought of this and turned to look at Tang Jun on the other side. He happened to meet his eyes and was excited. Senior brother hasn't given up yet? Still want to struggle?

It’s good to struggle. The more you struggle, the more effective it will be.

Yu Xing sat up a little straighter, intending to stand guard for the last shift of the first period.

The last job applicant, Yan Jiahao, has a very impressive resume. He claims to have entrepreneurial experience in e-commerce and held a management position in his previous company. His target salary when he appeared today is an annual salary of 30 yuan.

However, there is obvious water in this resume.

Because he was the last one to go, the bosses present were all alert and quickly pointed out the problems in his resume and CV. However, Yan Jiahao did not have the ability to cope with multiple scrutiny and finally admitted that he had inflated his resume.

Yu Xing also asked two questions, but turned off the lights very early and expressed his attitude.

Tang Jun on the other side was just watching, but he kept the light on.

The bosses present had a relatively unified attitude towards the falsification of contestants' resumes. However, in addition to Tang Jun, there were two other bosses who also gave him a thumbs up. One was Bi Sheng from Letao.com, and the other was Li Song from Zhenai.com.

9 lights are off and 3 lights are on.

Just as the next stage of job seeker counter-selection was about to begin, Li Jing from Lefeng.com raised her hand to speak.

She expressed strong confusion: "I don't understand why a contestant like Yan Jiahao, who lied to us in front of us, can still get the light on. I want to know the reason. Moreover, he has already said that he came here for e-commerce, so why are Tang Jun and Li Song still on?"

Li Song answered without waiting for the host: "We have online business, I think it has something in common with e-commerce, of course I can keep the light on."

Tang Jun, who was also named, remained silent.

Seeing this, Li Jing turned her attention to LeTao.com, which was more suitable for job seekers, and questioned, "Bi Sheng, Mr. Bi, can you give me a reason to keep the light on? I really don't understand."

Bi Sheng picked up the microphone and answered: "I just think that since he has admitted his mistakes and is willing to reduce his salary, we can give him a chance. If he can start from the grassroots level in our company, he may not fail in business in the future."

He wants to portray himself as a tolerant boss today.

Tang Jun, who had been silent the whole time, heard this and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes. He picked up the microphone and also stated the reason why he kept the light on: "I don't think there is anything that I can't understand. Yan Jiahao still has certain abilities. His English is good and his expression is also OK. Since he can correct his mistakes, I am willing to give him a chance."

After Tang Jun asked this question, many bosses and audiences turned their attention to Yu Xing on the other side. Mr. Yu, don’t sleep anymore, get active!
Yu Xing held the microphone but did not lift it up or indicate that he wanted to speak.

Tang Jun paused, and did not wait for the expected blow. Seeing that Li Jing and others had stopped talking, he did not hesitate and directly stated his thoughts: "If a person does a lot of things and then makes a mistake, can he never move forward?"

"I don't think that makes sense."

"So, now when I look at Yan Jiahao, I can empathize with him more."

"I must emphasize this point. Yan Jiahao has certain abilities, but he did make a mistake when he came on the show this time. However, as far as I know, many people will use the watered-down resume."

"It's his resume. I was pointed out to have problems with my academic qualifications some time ago."

"It is true that I falsified my academic qualifications. I reflect deeply on this and feel sorry for those who were affected."

Tang Jun publicly admitted to falsifying his academic qualifications and apologized.

The program team behind were ecstatic when they heard this. No matter what, Tang Jun's apology was enough to keep the topic going!
"But now I'm looking at Yan Jiahao, I've heard everyone's thoughts, and I also have a question, what should we do with the person who made the mistake in his future life?" Tang Jun said slowly, "Today, a group of our bosses are unwilling to hire him, then what?"

"Should we also make it known to the world so that all bosses won't hire him?"

"I have always believed that ability is more important than academic qualifications. Yan Jiahao has the ability, and as long as he is willing to make changes, I am willing to use him!"

Tang Jun is still using the job seeker's questions to explain his own problems.

Yu Xing was thinking quickly. At this time, the host Zhang Shaogang called the CEO of Bai Xiaosheng, who had turned off the lights, and said, "Mr. Yu, what do you think about this issue?"

According to the procedure, the BOSS who turns off the lights doesn't actually need to speak anymore, but the host and the program team know how to keep the topic going.

Yu Xing calmed himself down and said on the microphone: "I think..."

Tang Jun suddenly spoke up at this moment, interrupting Yu Xing and asking a question: "In fact, everyone knows that it was Yu Xing who pointed out my academic qualifications, but I am still quite surprised to meet him here today."

"Junior brother..."

He used the sarcastic name he had used before: "Since you can't stand fakery, why are you sitting here today? I heard that you are a sponsor of this program. Are you sitting here to help attract traffic to the website?"

There is no doubt that Yu Xing had previously upheld the name of justice.

But Tang Jun knew that many people in society thought that once you use the name of justice, you cannot be involved in money-making, otherwise, your previous image will collapse and deteriorate.

Since you want to attract traffic and since you are going to deteriorate, why do you keep pestering me?

Tang Jun's words were very straightforward, and he quickly repeated the question: "Junior brother, do you think that after a person makes a mistake, he is hopeless?"

The Working Emperor's tone was not harsh, but his expression and tone were a bit pitiful and his attitude was very humble.

He publicly admitted to falsifying his academic qualifications and expressed his apologies. Although he is quite old, has extensive experience and a successful career, he seems to be forced into a corner at this moment.

The host, program team, BOSSs, the audience and the camera all looked at Yu Xing who was asked to answer the question.

There is no rehearsal for this kind of situation. The producer had already agreed when discussing the program that the differences and similarities between different companies, tracks, and bosses could create enough conflicts, so scripts were almost never provided.

Yu Xing didn't expect Tang Jun to be so clear and unconditional.

He was silent for five seconds and sighed in his heart that path dependence was inevitable after all.

"Don't call me Junior Brother."

He called him senior brother before, and now that Tang Jun acknowledged him as his junior brother, he denied this identity.

How can this be denied? Is this reasonable?
The next second, Yu Xing took out his wrinkled doctoral degree certificate again, tore it up decisively, and tore it up again and again, and finally showed it to the camera.

He maintained a calm expression and said calmly: "Call me Mr. Yu."

No, the certificate is gone.

I am no longer a PhD from Pacific Western University!
He is no longer Mr. Tang’s junior apprentice!
The whole audience burst into uproar and laughter.

Boss Yu's words and actions seem to be open to many interpretations, but they have also demonstrated his strongest stance in response to Tang Jun's two questions just now.

You want to admit your relationship now, but I still don’t even bother to be your brother!
Yu Xing did not answer the question directly, but described the background of his participation in the program: "I was indeed hesitant about whether to be on the program. It was not that I had doubts about whether it would attract traffic, but I was worried that my personality would harm the website."

"Bai Xiaosheng got the investor's money, but the investor made a request to me, asking me not to be too sharp."

"In fact, since I created the website, more than one person has said this to me, and even I have become hesitant. Is it too sharp?"

“But what’s strange is that I never received such comments and warnings in my life before I built the website. Now, what have I done?”

Yu Xing spread his hands and said suddenly: "Oh, I just pointed out the problem!"

He laughed and said, "I just pointed out the problem, but suddenly everyone tried to persuade me to be gentle, respectful, frugal and modest, and told me not to be so sharp, as if I had done something against the will of heaven and earth."

Yu Xing didn't look at Tang Jun, but at the young audience members below the stage, and asked curiously: "You say, is this strange?"

Isn’t it strange?
Many viewers instantly thought of "The Emperor's New Clothes", in which the emperor was not wearing any clothes and was pointed out by a child. It was actually the child's eyesight that was too sharp.

Yu Xing was silent for a few seconds and changed the subject: "Of course, society is very complicated. Reality is reality. My sharpness may not lead to success, but some people can wear the new clothes of success."

“Is that weird?”

“That’s not surprising.”

Yu Xing pointed out the current situation and continued: "There are two terms in law, 'ought to be' and 'is'."

“Ought is what it should be, is is what it actually is.”

“The former focuses on everyone’s expectations and requirements for a thing, while the latter focuses on the objective reflection of the actual status of a thing.”

Yu Xing said seriously: "My understanding is that there is a deviation between reality and ideal, and the current situation is a compromise with the ideal."

"Take me as an example. I didn't really want to come, but as an entrepreneur, I wanted my website to be successful, so I compromised due to the company's internal requirements."

"It may sound depressing to say this, but taking Mr. Tang Jun's case as an example, I see something comforting about it."

"Some people are very successful by cheating, and even think that being able to deceive everyone is a sign of success."

When Yu Xing said this, he turned his gaze to Tang Jun. This was the clumsy response that the working emperor once gave to the media.

He continued: “But, you can fool all the people some of the time, you can even fool some of the people all the time, but you can’t fool all the people all the time!”

"Back to the issue of 'ought to be' and 'is', what I want to answer Mr. Tang is that it is precisely because of the existence of 'ought to be' that your past 'is' has become your present 'is'. 'Is' is not eternal and unchanging, it changes, it is driven to change!"

“It’s because everyone thinks this thing should be like that, even though it’s not there yet, it’s still moving towards that ideal.”

"If there's no me, there's someone else."

"If a person makes a mistake, he should bear the consequences."

"Since a person with widespread influence makes a mistake, he should be aware that the consequences of his mistake are more severe, including long-lasting accusations."

"I'm not urging others to take the same stance as me, I'm just pointing out the problem."

"You can think I'm sharp or that I'm seeking fame or profit, but I'm just pointing out the problem."

"You can forgive me or you can sympathize with me. I am just pointing out the problem."

Yu Xing spoke faster and looked away from Tang Jun: "I express my views and opinions, and others can express theirs. I don't comment too much, I just point out the problems."

He finally smiled towards the camera and said: "I just pointed out the problem. It is other people's business to forgive the problem."

Accompanied by the warmest applause since the program was recorded, Tang Jun's throat moved, he closed his eyes, and a sense of appreciation arose in his heart. However, when he thought of the torn certificate, the appreciation turned into disgust in an instant.

However, Tang Jun's disgust in the applause turned into self-mockery. Yu Xing would not pay attention to his disgust, he just... pointed out the problem.
