The job fair arrived as scheduled.

Ma Pingchuan's factory doesn't need to hire anyone; they recently received a large order, so they all have to stay and oversee operations.

So Liu Meiling and Bai Yajing came together. Besides the rubber factory needing to hire people, the pharmaceutical factory also needed help.

The conference was packed with people.

Pei An gave his opening remarks before the conference began and then went offstage to attend to other matters.

He has to make sure nothing goes wrong today.

Each enterprise and individual business owner has its own booth, and the conditions and benefits are written on the board next to it. If you think you are suitable, you can go for an interview.

Bai Yajing and Liu Meiling were explaining the recruitment requirements to people queuing up to inquire.

"...This time, the rubber factory is recruiting forty key positions! As long as you meet the requirements and pass the assessment, the salary and benefits will be excellent. The starting salary for apprentices is 25 yuan, and after becoming a full-time employee..."

Before the words even finished, the crowd erupted in a frenzy. Twenty-five yuan! And for an apprentice! Countless eyes instantly burned with excitement.

Just then, a slick and grating voice rang out from the corner. It wasn't loud, but it pierced everyone's ears like an awl: "Keep bragging! Keep bragging! Anyone can talk big and make empty promises. I'm telling you, your factory really has no one left. You brought up this woman to chatter on and on. Do you even know how many gears a lathe has? Can you even lift a wrench?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a group of men and women squeezed in from outside. The slovenly man in the lead and his lackeys rudely pushed aside the people in line. He walked over, slammed his hand on the table, and provocatively said, "I say, what do you women know about hiring? Go home and nurse your babies and do embroidery!"

"We'll do you a favor and work at your factory; leave things here to us!"

His men joined in the laughter. Those around them, seeing their large numbers, were frightened and scurried to the side.

There was a moment of silence, followed by several suppressed, tentative sneers that rang out from different corners.

Many people lowered their heads or looked away, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

This situation emboldened the other party, who then tried to push and shove them.

Liu Meiling was both angry and anxious, her pretty face contorted with rage. "What are you doing? We don't want to be messed with like this. Please leave! Otherwise, I'll call security!"

The person on the other side remained completely calm upon hearing this, saying, "Don't you dare refuse a polite toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit!"

I'm giving you face, so you should take it! Alright, go back now! We'll take care of things here!

The man had a half-smoked cigarette dangling from his lips, and his narrowed eyes were full of ruthless malice.

Bai Yajing pulled the furious Liu Meiling behind her and whispered a few words in her ear. Liu Meiling immediately squeezed out and ran off to find someone.

This girl has no fighting skills, so don't let her get hurt. Bai Yajing simply instructed her to go find someone to come over.

She had plenty of experience dealing with these unreasonable people, and the only way to suppress them was through force.

"I'm giving you three minutes to explain who sent you."

A flicker of surprise crossed the leader's eyes, which he quickly suppressed. "What? Who sent you? Weren't you recruiting? We're here!"

Bai Yajing raised the corners of her mouth sarcastically, "There are so many companies and individuals here, and you don't go looking for trouble. Instead, you clearly target us to cause trouble."

"If you weren't sent by anyone, then you're just bullies who prey on the weak? You think you can bully us because there are only two women here?"

Two henchmen beside the leader whispered in their boss's ear, "Boss, this woman isn't easy to fool..."

The man impatiently shoved the person away with his elbow.

Seeing that she dared to argue back, he became even more emboldened, slamming his cigarette butt on the ground and crushing it under his foot, then slamming his hand on the empty wooden crates stacked beside him. A loud "bang!"

"This is a place for men to talk, what are you, a woman, interrupting for? What nonsense are you spouting? Get down here and go home to serve your men, don't embarrass yourself here!" He roared, spitting as he spoke, the veins on his neck bulging.

This was like tearing off the last fig leaf, and the laughter that had been held back in the audience suddenly erupted. The men slapped their thighs and laughed so hard they were doubled over, as if they had heard the funniest joke in the world.
