A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage) -
Chapter 1424 Aren't You Mad?
"Is he courting you?" asked Ye Fan curiously after Yang Xiao stepped into the room for his interview.
Lin Yu-Han nodded. "I suppose so. But he's not my type. He's not a good man and he'll do anything to get what he wants. I've turned him down many times but he just doesn't know when to give up." Lin Yu-Han seemed really exasperated.
Some women might enjoy being courted and viewed courtship as something they could brag about but to Lin Yu-Han, Yang Xiao's courtship had merely been the cause of many headaches.
"Why are you asking about that instead of preparing for your interview?" Lin Yu-Han glared at Ye Fan suddenly before piling advice on him again. "Remember what I told you. Those are words of experience. Even if you were to fail this interview, the experience will still come in handy for your next interview. Alright, I'm going to be up soon. I'll head over right now. You should get yourself ready too. Let me leave you with a word of advice. Keep hope alive and you'll never feel despair. Let's give our best!"
Lin Yu-Han waved her fists playfully at Ye Fan, then walked away with a smile.
The interviewer had called her name and told her to head to the waiting area.
Ye Fan was simply an acquaintance whom she had had a brief conversation with.
She had extended a helping hand to Ye Fan because she had witnessed the others laughing at him and had felt sorry for that.
That was akin to her smoothening out the creased blades of grass that had been trampled by someone else every time she passed a patch of grass.
She would forget the blades of grass that she had aided and exactly how they had looked like moments after.
Similar to her passing encounter with Ye Fan, they would never meet again.
Of course, never in her wildest dreams could Lin Yu-Han have imagined whom she had just shown kindness to.
"What an interesting young woman," murmured Ye Fan as he watched Lin Yu-Han walk away, before shaking his head and smiling to himself.
After that, he decided to leave and look for his mother.
It was then that Yang Xiao appeared again. He was done with his interview.
"I'm warning you, punk. Stay away from Yu-Han. She's my girl. Don't you dare touch her!" threatened Yang Xiao with a look of hostility on his face.
Ye Fan simply shrugged. He gave him a faint smile, then turned away.
"You don't believe me, do you? Do you really think you're going to pass the interview, that maybe you'll become coworkers with Yu-Han, and that you'll end up as lovers in the end? Well, dream on! Only two candidates are going to pass the interview today. One of them is going to be me and the other one, Yu-Han. The rest are simply wasting their time. You're one of them too," said Yang Xiao smugly as he stuck his hands into his pocket. His voice was dripping with disdain and mockery.
Ye Fan had been ready to leave when he heard that. He froze in his tracks instantly.
He turned around again. "Is that so? You seem really confident of your chances. The hiring exercise has barely begun. It seems too early to tell who's going to get the job, don't you think?" Yang Xiao burst out into laughter. His laughter was filled with mockery. It was as if he had just heard the funniest thing.
"Do you not know or are you really that stupid? Do you really think the workplace is just like school? That everything boils down to grades and rankings? Let me tell you. Ability is secondary when it comes to the real world. It's the people you know who makes a difference," Yang Xiao said smugly. He sounded like a priest preaching the gospel and the eternal truths of the world to Ye Fan.
"Is that so? Well, you must know someone really important then," Ye Fan said.
"But of course!" said Yang Xiao proudly. "I hope the shock doesn't kill you. My best friend's father is the head of the human resource department for this company and the general manager of this company is my best friend's uncle. The person who owns the Mufan Group is related to my best friend. They're cousins. I can go where I please in this company. Besides, I've passed a message to my best friend. He's going to make Yu-Han my personal assistant. She's not going to get hired if she turns down the position."
The look in Yang Xiao's eyes was smug. He looked at Ye Fan as if he would an insignificant ant.
"So? Are you mad? Think the world cruel and reality unfair? That it's nothing you think it is? Well, what's the point of you being mad? This is life. It's cruel and it's not fair at all. You have to either be rich or know people who are. People like you who aren't rich or know people who are rich are destined to be losers. You'll never get anywhere in life. Listen to my advice. Pack up and get out of here. You're just not meant to have some things in life," said Yang Xiao arrogantly and with an air of superiority.
He clearly thought that he was better than Ye Fan and it showed in the way he spoke and behaved.
Honestly, his arrogance was not without basis.
After all, his best friend held an important position in this company while the upper management of the company was filled with his best friend's relatives.
With his connections, he could look down on anyone in that room without repercussion.
Yang Xiao had expected the young man before him to fly into a rage after he had shared the dirty secrets behind the hiring exercise. He had expected the young man to feel outraged and indignant. Instead, he was surprised by how calmly
the young man had taken in his words.
No hint of emotion had rippled across his eyes in spite of what Yang Xiao had said.
He was displeased.
This was like landing his fist on air.
It gave him no satisfaction at all.
"Hey, aren't you mad at all? After hearing everything that I've told you?" Yang Xiao frowned.
Ye Fan simply laughed softly. "Mad? Why should I be mad?"
"You..." Yang Xiao nearly blew up when he heard what Ye Fan had said.
He clenched his fists, then glared murderously at Ye Fan.
"My best friend holds an important office in this company. His father is the head of the human resource department. The decade of work you poured into your studies is nothing compared to that one single friend I have. No matter how hard you work, you'll simply be relegated to the sidelines while I take the centerstage. The connections I have will easily get me the job that you can only dream of having. The girl that you're in love with will fall into my arms. Doesn't thinking about that make you mad?"
