Behind the scenes
After the words "waiting for a call," the man spoke without thinking, sometimes saying "don't bother me," sometimes saying "no need." In his hasty rise, he dragged his chair far away and stumbled towards the door.
"Don't go." Yu Ran said, "Aren't you willing to take a pay cut to get this job? How come you've lost all your patience waiting for a call?
"No, I remembered I have something to do at home."
"What's going on? I can wait from six or seven until ten, and now someone's coming to your house before your boss even says anything?"
The man was in a daze, desperately walking out, thinking to himself, such a big studio can't possibly play that kind of trick, right? Seeing that he was still playing dumb after being pointed out, Yu Ran's face darkened.
"Never mind. Actually, there's something more important than your family and the interview. It's so hot out here, why don't we go to the police station and have a drink?"
"June 28th, June 30th, July 6th, July 7th... Do you want me to continue?" Jiang Liu also stood up. His face looked quite kind, but he was also confident that he had something on the other party.
After all, he was a young man with little experience and was not easily frightened. He was probably still a college student. When he heard the police station, it was not just a black mark on his file, it was like burning a big black hole in his file. He immediately became weak in the knees and begged for mercy.
"No, please be kind! I'm just a college student trying to earn a living!" The boy bent over and was about to kneel, crying and complaining.
"It's okay. We don't blame you. Just tell us who ordered it." Jiang Liu poured tea at the main seat. "Drink."
The final "soft" completely broke through the psychological defense line.
"I'm just a junior student. I saw a message in the part-time job group and thought about giving it a try. It said your company offered a salary of 8,000, so I worked so hard."
Jiang Liu took the phone and saw that it indeed listed a part-time job group at a certain university. It was a mixed crowd of business people and students, and the activity was extremely high.
The young man found the job posting for that day.
Address: Chunlai Wushi Flower Art Studio, No. 107, Zhongshan Road.
Recruitment position: All-rounder.
Salary: 8k~10k per month. Room and board not included.
Contact information: (Jiang Liu’s WeChat ID)
It is easy for people to get the WeChat account. After all, it is the information on Jiang Liu’s business card, and Jiang Liu never hides it.
Jiang Liu was suspicious and asked, "Even if I did post a job posting, it would be for full-time positions, not summer interns. Why did you choose to work for me?"
"It's not, but, but I have a lot of money." The young man gave up and admitted that he was short of money. Isn't it a kind of honesty?
so……
So this college student saw a high-paying job posting and forged his resume and information just to get the job.
Many competitors in the group also had their eyes on the lucrative job with a monthly salary of 8,000 yuan, so after repeatedly failing to add WeChat, he decided to wait at the door of the studio to see if he could meet the "boss face to face".
Finally, I had an idea and changed the reason for adding friends from job application to business orders. It took four or five attempts before I added them.
As for being so afraid of seeing Yu Ran, it was probably the same as the "concubine's fear of seeing the wife." Having concealed his identity to apply for a job, and then meeting a colleague who was exceptional and capable of many things, wouldn't he feel guilty?
"Then why did you follow me that day?" Yu Ran was referring to the day when he went to buy morning tea.
"I, I just wanted to ask you what time Mr. Jiang starts work. I wanted to walk faster to catch up with you, but I didn't expect you to walk so fast!"
…
Since it was all a misunderstanding, Jiang Liu and Yu Ran naturally wouldn't embarrass a student. They advised him to focus on improving himself instead. After all, a resume with solid materials would always look good.
Jiang Liu poured tea and saw the guests off.
The man nodded repeatedly, apologized, and stood up to leave, but was stopped by Yu Ran.
"Wait, why do I feel like there's something wrong with your group..."
So, Yu Ran lurked in the group. He copied the group's name and casually changed it to a recent graduate's department, which was not too eye-catching. He planned to add the group administrator who posted the message to test the waters.
That night, Yu Ran followed Jiang Liu back to his home, and the administrator approved his friend request.
"Hello, I'd like to ask if the recruitment information of Chunlai Wushi Studio is authentic? I haven't added their WeChat from the day it was posted until today."
"The information sources of this group are all formal channels. You still need to identify the specific circumstances yourself."
"Okay, I understand, but maybe the contact information is wrong?"
The person on the other end is, after all, a group administrator. He controls the economic lifeline of the university within a few miles, and he calls himself the king and thinks highly of himself. This is the first time he has been questioned like this.
"I said, can't you see the formal channels? If there's any mistake, go and correct it yourself."
Yu Ran was speechless, thinking that one should just do his job. If he sent the message to the group without verifying whether it was true or false, how many young people who were inexperienced in the world would be harmed?
Jiang Liu patted his shoulder to comfort him, saying, "Since he keeps repeating the official channels, could it be that he got it from various recruitment software?"
Good direction! They each downloaded a popular recruitment app on their phones.
In a moment, Jiang Liu found the recruitment information on a less famous but user-friendly APP.
Exactly the same as what the group administrator posted.
"I also found out here..." Yu Ran's eyebrows were knotted, and so were his thoughts.
It seems that there is someone behind this.
Clicking on the job posting website, I found no official verification or business license information.
"Mr. Jiang?"
"Is he imitating you or does he also have the last name Jiang?"
"How annoying." Jiang Liu said with a wry smile. He didn't want to be impersonated by others, and he didn't want to be associated with such a person who "was from the same family five hundred years ago."
Yu Ran held him in his arms, pinching his shoulders with one hand to relax him, "If you're upset, why not take a hot bath? I'll take care of it."
Jiang Liu shook his head, his tone slightly disgusted, "No."
"Why? Is there something I can't handle?"
"If it's not a hot spring bath, I don't want to." Jiang Liu rested his chin on Yu Ran's collarbone.
"You'll know if you go and take a look." Yu Ran held his waist with his hands, lifted him up, and urged him to go to the bathroom.
Jiang Liu saw a bright light in the bathroom through the crack in the door, and when he pushed the door open, a warm fragrance wafted in.
A small wooden table sat atop the large, white bathtub, upon which lay a fruit plate, barley tea, and pastries. In one corner, an aromatherapy diffuser sat, its wax carefully simmering a tiny flame.
The warmth comes from the fragrance of "tea break after the rain".
It is exactly Jiang Liu’s favorite taste.
"Damask Rose?" Jiang Liu picked up a bright red petal and twisted it between his fingers.
"Well, it feels like giving you flowers directly is a bit of a stunt.
So let’s be creative.”
Yu Ran took two steps back and closed the door, still feeling a little shy.
After calming down, "Mr. Jiang" replied:
"We'll discuss salary in person. I'm in the store 24 hours a day."
Yu Ran was stunned. Just before pushing Jiang Liu to take a bath, he quickly registered an account and tried to ask questions to the imposter. Unexpectedly, this thing replied so quickly.
And they say they are open 24 hours a day?!
Yu Ran felt that something was wrong.
Impersonating others, fabricating facts and spreading them widely, disrupting public order...
It won't ruin the business, but it might as well disgust people.
From this perspective, it seems likely that there are actually more job seekers. However, since the Guan Shiqian incident, the two have been deliberately staying away from work and rarely go to the studio, thus avoiding a lot of trouble.
Seeing others making money made him jealous, Yu Ran knew it was just human nature at work, and he could barely understand it. However, the trap set by this imposter was probably more than that.
Jiang Liu came out, and a ball of heat hit Yu Ran's back. Yu Ran took the towel and would wipe the man's hair first, no matter how big the matter was.
Yu Ran unfolded the bath towel, wrapped all his hair in it first to absorb the moisture, and then helped him dry his hair in layers.
"You're pretty good, aren't you?" Yu Ran tilted his head to look at her. The bath towel was thick and white, not the same color as the red veil, nor the style as the white veil. But it covered Jiang Liu's hair and flowed down her shoulders and neck, like someone playing in the snow in winter, with their hair completely whitened by the snow. Jiang Liu's face was especially red.
"Hmm...hmm?" Jiang Liu looked at him in confusion. What was he daydreaming about?
The next second, Yu Ran kissed her, kissing her eyebrow.
"You're asking for a reward before you've even reported? Do you understand delayed gratification?"
"I don't want to say it, because it will ruin the current atmosphere..."
Jiang Liu blinked hard, his eyelashes fluttering, causing Yu Ran's lips to itch a little.
"Well, since you want to listen, I'll report first."
Yu Ran revealed his recent discovery, and Jiang Liu's expression changed.
"I have collected the information. Let's go to the police station together tomorrow."
Jiang Liu: “…”
"Why do I feel like you know this place better than everyone else? You even know where all my information is?"
"Then you have to be nice to me, or I won't take advantage of you..."
The pigtail, a double entendre, smoldering fingers entwined themselves around the ends of Jiang Liu's hair. Like snake scales sliding across, cool and wet, they entwined tighter and tighter; the scent of the two people was also...
The next morning, we both went to the police station to report the incident. Fortunately, we saved evidence in time yesterday. When we logged into the apps today, we found that the counterfeit products had been blocked.
It seemed like he had incurred public wrath. Although he couldn't stir up trouble for the time being, after all, this thing was being used under the name of Jiang Liu Studio to deceive people everywhere, and those who didn't understand the situation might very well target the real owner.
After calling the police, Yu Ran was about to print out a few "No Hiring" notices when his phone rang.
The one causing trouble was actually that university part-time job group.
Group owner: "The job seeker information fee is 100 yuan, and the employer information fee is 150 yuan. Please pay the fee between July 15th and July 17th."
Attached is a group payment link.
Yu Ran clicked in, and many people handed in...
Especially the administrator he added yesterday. Yu Ran had just complained that he wasn't doing his job well enough, but today he went too far:
“Remember to pay the information fee on time.”
"100 yuan, it's the same if you pay it to me."
"Here are the chat records as proof that the recruitment information provided in the group is helpful to you."
Three consecutive messages...
Yu Ran: "Have I walked into a wolf's den?!"
So, I turned around and went to help the police. I also sent a report email to the school.
The final step was to relocate the surveillance cameras at the studio entrance. They installed them indoors—one at the window and one at the tea table, both of which would provide a clear view of everything going on at the entrance.
After finishing everything, they left in a hurry. The two of them couldn't help laughing, as if they were guilty!
