The Billion-Value Lands Are Just For Farming

Chapter 524

C524 – Are You Kidding Us?

“Student Meng Haitao truly stands out as the most successful graduate of Eastsea Technology University.”

“In the future, many of you will be working under Meng Haitao.”

“Let’s give a round of applause for your future boss!”

Xie Haijun announced into the microphone with great enthusiasm.

Was the principal just an ordinary person?

Clearly, his skills were exceptional.

At this cue,

The students erupted in applause!

Meng Haitao was incredible!

Meng Haitao was on fire!

Meng Haitao was our idol!

“By the way, Meng, could you give us a detailed rundown? What exactly do these positions entail?”

Xie Haijun asked, twinkling with curiosity and a grin on his face.

“Absolutely, no problem.”

“There’s a variety of roles available.”

“It really depends on what you excel at.”

Meng Haitao was on cloud nine.

He felt as though he was soaring.

He believed he had reached the pinnacle of his life.

In an invincible state.

He was so moved, he wanted to burst into song.

How lonely it is to be invincible!

“Senior!”

“I’m a student from the Academy of Science. What role do you think would suit me?”

A student from the crowd raised his hand.

Meng Haitao stroked his chin, giving the matter some thought.

He nodded approvingly.

“Very good, very good!”

Meng Haitao complimented.

The student’s eyes sparkled with excitement.

Oh my!

It looked like there was an opportunity here.

“This student has a good build.”

“Hmm… Let me think this over.”

“You’d be suited to be a driver.”

Meng Haitao declared with confidence.

……

The student was dumbfounded.

What in the world?

I’m a student from the Science Academy.

My major is physics.

I’ve even studied architecture.

You’re suggesting I become a driver?

That doesn’t make sense, does it?

If I wanted to drive, couldn’t I do that anywhere?

Why would I need to go so far from home to drive?

“This student.”

“Don’t underestimate the role of a driver.”

“The salary for our drivers is quite substantial.”

“It’s a position many people covet but few can secure,” Meng Haitao assured him.

?He was eager to reveal the salary.

This student would surely be over the moon!

“Is that so?”

The Science Academy student’s face lit up with anticipation.

If the pay was indeed that high,

Then driving might not be such a bad idea.

After all, it’s common for many graduates to work in fields unrelated to their major.

As long as it pays!

“Absolutely, our driver earns a monthly salary of 3000 yuan, and that’s not all—I provide room and board too. How does that sound?”

Meng Haitao offered what he believed was a generous sum.

The students from the School of Science were taken aback.

Three thousand yuan?

Are you joking?

Do you think I’m unaware?

Our neighbor is a truck driver.

He makes at least ten to twenty thousand a month.

And you’re slashing the pay that much for me?

I could just deliver takeout.

Take it easy, Yuvyuv.

Is it worth it for such a small amount?

Just then, another student interjected.

“Senior, I’m from the School of Materials.”

“I focus on steel materials. What do you think I could do?”

Hope was written all over the student’s face.

There’s even a bit of overlap with coal research in steel materials.

It’s somewhat related to my field.

“Hmm… you’re on the slender side.”

“I’ve got it!”

“You’d fit right in working in the cafeteria!”

The student from the School of Materials was bewildered.

Work in the cafeteria?

After four years studying materials?

You expect me to cook?

Are you serious?

Why not approach culinary students?

“Senior, I’m from the nursing department. Do you need nursing students?”

A timid young woman stood up and asked cautiously.

“Well… you’re also rather petite.”

“I understand.”

“You can clean at our mining site.”

Meng Haitao nodded in agreement.

The students below were dumbstruck.

Silence fell over the room.

How to describe it?

An indescribable feeling.

A touch of awkwardness hung in the air.

They were just now realizing.

Something was off with this senior’s selection criteria.

They were supposed to be evaluated on their professional skills.

Academic performance, practical ability, emotional intelligence.

Why was he only considering their physical stature?

Was he here to recruit students or to buy livestock?

What was he playing at?

We’ve dedicated four years to our university education.

For this kind of work?

Let’s be clear, we mean no disrespect to anyone.

But these students are the cream of the crop, cultivated by the school and the nation.

?This seemed a bit excessive, didn’t it?

The School of Science’s truck driver.

The Materials Science Department went off to cook, while the Nursing Department took on cleaning duties. Is there really a need to come all the way to Eastsea Technology University to recruit students? Just post a job ad locally, and you’re bound to get applicants. Ah, now I get it! With the wages you’re offering, no local would take the job. So, you’re here to sweet-talk us, a group of unsuspecting newcomers? Do you think we’re naive? Is this some kind of joke?

Xie Haijun’s face contorted with frustration. Indeed, you’ve offered a lot of positions. But what kind of positions are these? Imagine the word getting out that Eastsea Technology University’s graduates are so skilled that upon graduation, they’re either driving trucks, cooking, or cleaning. Who would want to enroll after hearing that? We’re university students, formally educated by the state. Are these the jobs we’re expected to take? Isn’t this a waste of our talents?

Meng Haitao also sensed that something was amiss. But, he thought confidently, I have plenty of tricks up my sleeve for dealing with you rookies! “Listen up, everyone,” he began. “The job market is tough right now. Finding any job is a challenge. I’m offering you numerous positions, complete with room and board. You should be thanking me.” Meng Haitao seemed to believe he was being entirely reasonable.

The students in the audience could no longer contain their frustration. Are you playing games with us? We don’t need room and board. We need legitimate jobs that match our fields of study. And you? You come to Eastsea Technology University, a top-tier institution, to recruit chefs and drivers? Have you lost your way?

Xie Haijun’s expression fell. He had hoped Meng Haitao could salvage the situation, but it turned out to be another disappointment, utterly unreliable. “Old Xie,” he said, “don’t lose heart. There’s always a solution.” Principal Ye, too, let out a sigh. Being a principal was no easy task, especially when trying to secure employment for students, a concern that had turned his hair white. He had gone to great lengths to bring people here, only for it to end in discord.

With a heavy sigh, Xie Haijun’s disappointment was palpable. “Old Xie, remember, we still have one more person up our sleeve.”

Principal Ye couldn’t resist offering a reminder.

“No one’s arrival will make a difference.”

Xie Haijun had completely lost hope.

“What? You have that little faith in Mr. Su?”

Principal Ye asked, his smile crinkling his eyes.

Xie Haijun paused, a spark of realization in his gaze.

?’Damn, how did I forget about Mr. Su?’

There’s still Mr. Su!

“Mr. Su, please take a look…”

Xie Haijun quickly approached Su Ming, speaking with utmost reverence.

?”Principal Xie, there’s no need to panic.”

“Just wait a moment.”

Su Ming responded cheerfully.

?Upon hearing this, Meng Haitao let out a derisive snort. “Wait for what? You obviously can’t offer them positions. Come on, there’s no point in pretending anymore.”
