Starting as a Mechanical Hunter-Chapter 353 - 125: Qin Chunzi

"Qin Chunzi, you’ve been an executive in a famous perfume group, vice president at West Global Advertising Company, and an executive director at Haien News Group. Wow, Haien Group, that’s a global news giant, with thousands of pay channels, custom channels, and print media under its wing."

The last time Gao Gong heard of Haien Group was in his previous life; it was one of the major sponsors of the Paradise Society.

"As for myself, I’m proficient in human resource management and core staff training, achieving the highest performance ranking in my company every year."

"Holding the position of executive director, you’re just one step away from being CEO."

Gao Gong looked at the powerful and extensive resume on the holographic screen and couldn’t help but cluck his tongue. Even before Life Industry went bankrupt, they couldn’t have hired such a top-level lady executive.

He turned off the holographic screen and looked at this career woman with a wild wind style.

"What I want to know is, how did a top executive like you end up being hunted down by a debt-collecting group?"

Gao Gong took a sip of the mineral water from ’82 and asked curiously.

Just as Clown Jarvis was about to speak, Qin Chunzi stopped him, calmly saying, "My last job was as head of the Human Advertisement Department at Haien Group; Haien Group’s founder, Tycoon Hain’s favorite youngest son, Little Hain, changed his name to intern in my department, and I, uh, took advantage of him."

"Pfft~~"

Gao Gong sprayed out his old water, "Damn, sis, you’re something else."

"My shares are frozen, accounts blocked, all cash could not be withdrawn, and I’ve been blacklisted by corporations. The reason I’m in debt is due to some big spending before I got kicked out."

"Little A has something to say—" Even the Artificial Intelligence wanted to chime in.

"No, you hold on, let me speak first. Did you know that Little Hain is the chairman’s son?"

"Yes."

"You knew, and you still did it?"

"Living on the edge is what it’s all about." 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Sis, you’re awesome!" Little A said admiringly.

Gao Gong stroked his chin, thinking, if he was working at some super corporation, became a small leader in some department, and the president’s daughter came to work in his department and he did the same—

He’d already be walking down the golden road of a live-in son-in-law!

If it were me, I’d get the president a third generation in no time.

In terms of cheeky moves, you’re still no match for me.

"Master, it seems your sense of integrity is once again breaking through the Moral Chip’s limits, should it be recorded?"

"Cough cough, let’s skip it this time. Little A, go see Jarvis off, Jarvis, your commission will be transferred to your account later."

Once the room was left with just the two of them, Gao Gong’s expression turned serious, followed by a dry cough.

"You have that same look when I was hitting on Little Hain, are you trying to hit on me?" Qin Chunzi suddenly asked.

"Cough cough cough cough cough—"

Indeed, the waves of the Yangtze River push on and on, each wave surpassing the last, when it comes to professional ethics, I, Gao, can only concede defeat.

He paused for a moment, speaking in an odd tone.

"Haien News Group has investments from several Cloud Nobility families behind it, right? And not just any Cloud Nobility, but one of the twelve?"

Cloud Nobility themselves might not be adept at developing black technology or carving out blue ocean markets, but when it comes to equity trading and insider operations, they not only have it but are very bold about it.

"That’s right, Tycoon Hain became an Honorary Noble ten years ago, and the one awarding him was the Hasting Race Leader of the Cloud Nobility."

"Oh~ the guy with ten alien reproductive systems installed."

The twelve Cloud Nobility clans are all mysterious entities, seldom revealing themselves to the public. Among them, the Miller Clan, Hasting Clan, and Xie Clan are some of the few known for their public actions.

Of these, the Hasting Clan is the most renowned, monopolizing the global market for male enhancement drugs, reportedly selling well on other planets too.

The cosplays of this clan are also quite well-known; Gao Gong himself tried them out, and the quality is pretty good.

Cough cough

Feeling his integrity value about to break the chip’s limits again, Gao Gong quickly changed the subject, "Since you’ve hit rock bottom, I think we can be honest with each other."

Qin Chunzi, who had maintained a stern face while making innuendos, raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Your being fired, or rather, your voluntary resignation, must have more complicated reasons behind it, right?"

"I don’t understand what you’re talking about!"

Qin Chunzi stood up, preparing to leave.

However, the next moment, one electronic wall after another appeared in her view, and not only that, a woman shackled in chains was reflected on the smooth walls.

These confidentiality chains ran through Qin Chunzi’s vital neural nodes; even the slightest tug could potentially split her personality apart.

But with Gao Gong’s actions, the code turned into silk threads, like a master craftsperson sewing and weaving human signals.

’Click’ ’Click’ ’Click’ ’Click’

"Sorry, could you please take two steps forward?"

Qin Chunzi finally showed an incredulous expression as she instinctively took two steps, feeling a wave of relief wash over her.

Whipping around suddenly, she saw a silhouette bound in chains now deeply embedded in the electronic defense wall.

"Alright, the confidentiality agreement is lifted; now we can have a proper chat."

"How did you do it!?" Qin Chunzi’s chest heaved violently; although her expression remained indifferent, it was clear that her emotions were intense.

"I’m a hacker," Gao Gong pointed to the sky, "the highest level one."

Qin Chunzi closed her eyes, and after three seconds, she regained her composure, proactively sat down, and calmly said, "Haien News Group is involved in large-scale data fraud. The experimental data submitted to the Mother City every year is problematic."

"Hmm."

"Also, they are collaborating with the Cloud Nobility in forbidden transformations, modifying the Corporate Will."

"Oh? That’s a bit interesting."

The reason why a Corporate Will exists is largely because it’s a product of Mother City to prevent cheating.

As long as it’s connected to the Corporate Will, the company’s operational status will be accurately recorded by the Mother City without any discrepancies.

And with a Corporate Will, either the company successfully goes public, or it gets devoured; there’s no other path.

However, the climb of a Technology Tree is universally recognized as difficult, and there are many civilizations that remain stagnant. Why should you be able to achieve what other civilizations take hundreds or thousands of years to do in just a few decades?

If you can’t move forward, you might as well cheat.

Plus, with the identity of the Cloud Nobility, faking something is quite ordinary.

"It’s just fake data, I don’t believe you weren’t involved, nor do I believe you’d be fired for this," Gao Gong sneered, "Tell me the real reason!"

"Things were fine the first two years, but over the last two years, due to forbidden transformations, the Corporate Will had major issues. It had to devour the personalities of executives to compensate for its shortcomings. My former boss, and my boss’s boss, all died because of this, but officially, they were ’reassigned.’

"Including Tycoon Hain; he’s been living reclusively in recent years, and I suspect he’s also having problems."

"So, I did something just enough to get fired, but not enough for anyone to suspect."

"So, doing business means you just can’t work with the Cloud Nobility. These guys are like professional pig teammates: not only greedy but also stupid," Gao Gong concluded.

Qin Chunzi calmly said, "You helped me break the confidentiality agreement. I told you this secret, so now can I leave?"

"Leave? Where to, aren’t you going to the interview?"

"Since you know about this, you should also be aware of how troublesome it would be if you hired me."

"It’s quite troublesome, but that’s just my son’s trouble, not mine. Who knows, he might like it this way."

Gao Gong picked up the resume, "It says here you specialize in personnel management. How do you manage, specifically?"

"I specialize in dispensing different types of mental drugs to various employees, reducing their emotions and increasing their focus, with a success rate of 62.4%."

"I can perform targeted professional brainwashing, personality interference, workplace PUA, making them socially inept but successful in their careers, with a success rate of 74.4%."

"I excel in various labor lawsuits, termination contracts, and large-scale layoffs. To this day, no one has caused a scene."

"Any labor union survives no more than three days in my hands."

"I’m also proficient at extracting surplus value, such as getting employees to volunteer for overtime, volunteer for pay cuts, volunteer for optimization, volunteer..."

Gao Gong suddenly stood up.

"Wow! Turns out you’re the number one hitman for capitalists! I have the utmost disdain for people like you!"

Gao Gong forcefully patted the other person’s shoulder.

"You’re hired!!"

Qin Chunzi calmly nodded.

"So, Boss, how many people are in our company now?"

"Uh, less than ten."

Qin Chunzi paused for a moment and said, "Except for the first three years in the workplace, I’ve never managed a team of fewer than 100 people."

"That’s your problem. As an older newcomer starting from scratch, don’t despise the work environment; instead, create one," Gao Gong said earnestly, "You can absolutely treat ten people as if they’re a hundred."

Qin Chunzi fell silent again. She thought she was already ruthless, but never imagined there could be someone who could exploit even more!

Soon, the new employees arrived.

They were a strange group of ’temporary workers,’ unconcerned about salary, work intensity, or benefits, even indifferent to their own health.

Especially when they learned they had to capture their former partners, they were more excited than anyone else.

"So the game is finally going from PvE to PvP!"

"Wahaha, my good brother, don’t blame me for being ruthless, you just happened to meet me in the canyon!"

"Is this version about player versus player? I thought it was another boss fight again."

"Catching peers, biological experiments, mutant zombie mode? Wow, this game actually plagiarized! And it’s from Brother Pony, oh, then it’s fine."

"Don’t you think this executive is quite dominatrix? Just looking at her makes you want to kneel down for a whipping."

"I don’t feel that way; this aura reminds me of my director of discipline, ah, not-so-fond memories are coming up!"

Qin Chunzi silently observed everything.

A boss more twisted than her.

Employees more heartless than her.

Qin Chunzi suddenly felt this small company had some serious potential!
