Gao Peng didn't stay at the dormitory . He moved in with Old Ji straightaway .
Old Ji was living in a large villa that was about one meter away from the Southern Sky Group's headquarters . It was located in a very convenient location because the Southern Sky Group had constructed several highways that went directly to the city center .
After chatting with his grandfather, Gao Peng went downstairs with Liu He .
They took the elevator to the human resources department .
In the human resources department, Gao Peng met someone unexpected .
A man in his 30's dressed in black .
When he saw Gao Peng, he quickly walked over . He completely ignored Liu He and looked at Gao Peng with a look of relish . "Young master Gao, I've been too presumptuous in the morning . "
In Gao Peng's data frame, the man's status was shown as [Healthy (Calm)] .
This caused a large ruckus in the human resources department .
A large number of workers there were shocked . All of them knew who the man dressed in black was . He was the head of the Southern Sky Group's marketing department . He was at the same level as Liu He, the head of the human resources department .
He was a very calm person . Gao Peng looked at Cao Xiang, who had his head lowered . News of him bowing down to Gao Peng would definitely spread throughout the entire Southern Sky Group .
He had definitely thrown away some of the respect others had for him . But in truth, he had not lost anything at all . Cao Xiang was very good at grasping the correct timing to do things .
Gao Peng was actually somewhat confused . He wasn't angry because of what happened that afternoon . If Cao Xiang hadn't come and apologized to him, he probably would've forgotten about it .
Wait a moment… Gao Peng suddenly felt shocked . A department head had suddenly come to him, bowed to him, and apologized . This was very uncool . His identity as the chairman's grandson had been revealed .
Gao Peng felt that this wasn't a good thing .
Gao Peng did not know why he felt that way . After all, he hadn't experienced office politics yet . This was just too high profile for him . It made him look like he was some sort of strongman . A department head apologizing to him in public right after he came .
This was his first day at the Southern Sky Group, after all .
Gao Peng walked forward two steps and lifted Cao Xiang up . He said warmly with no hint of arrogance, "Department head Cao, you must be joking . It was just a small matter . In fact, what you are doing now is making me even more nervous . "
Cao Xiang got up and said that he would buy him a meal . He then left .
Gao Peng was paying attention to Cao Xiang's emotions . Besides being calm and experiencing a slight sudden shock during the conversation, he did not display any other emotions, such as hatred .
He didn't know if it was because Cao Xiang was very good at controlling his emotions, or he was actually this calm of a person .
However, Gao Peng's identity was revealed through this incident .
When he looked around the department and saw the expressions of his future colleagues, Gao Peng felt tired .
Liu He did not anticipate this incident would occur . He thought for a while and said to Gao Peng, "How about this . You go to Baiye District and handle recruitment there . It is a bit of a mess over there, but in terms of management, you will have an easier time there . "
Gao Peng nodded . He just started here, so he would just do as Liu He instructed him .
. . .
Baiye District was a district in the northern part of Yuzhou City . It was relatively remote, and most of the buildings there were old . Some of the old wires passed through the gaps in the houses, and the electric poles stood on both sides of the road . There were layers of advertising on the poles .
The air on the street had a foul stench . Gao Peng furrowed his eyebrows . There were big sacks of black plastic bags at the corners of some of the houses . It was a hot day in June, and Yuzhou city was like a steamer .
The stench of the garbage spread very far . A large number of flies were flying around the garbage bags . When pedestrians passed by, the flies would spread and fly around .
Every shop on the street had their doors wide open . They couldn't stand this ridiculous heat . They had to absorb the relentless heatwaves .
"It seems to be a bit hot . " Gao Peng wiped the sweat from his forehead .
"It is much better now . In the past, before the Cataclysm, Yuzhou City would become a giant steam basket! It is because the Yangtze is right next to the city . Summers here would be wet and hot . It is hotter indoors than outdoors . After the Cataclysm, the amount of forest near the city grew, and the Yangtze also got bigger . The summers now aren't as hot as before . " Next to Gao Peng stood a spectacle-wearing man . He was a senior worker from the human resources department who had been sent along as Gao Peng's assistant .
Gao Peng nodded . It wasn't just Yuzhou City . Before the Cataclysm, the summers were hot in every part of the nation . This could be counted as a small benefit of the Cataclysm . At least the summers weren't as hot anymore .
"Young Master Gao, we are about the arrive . This is the Southern Sky Group recruitment department in Baiye District . " Wang Liang nodded his head and bowed . With his golden spectacles hanging on his nose, he looked like a modern-day henchman .
Gao Peng was speechless . "Don't call me Young Master Gao . "
"As you wish, Young Master Gao . "
Gao Peng didn't bother correcting him anymore . He had already corrected him a few times while on the way there .
He left Da Zi and Stripey with his grandfather for two days . He couldn't take so many familiars with him all the time . Because Da Zi was the only familiar that had been passed down by his parents, Da Zi was extremely happy .
In the beginning, Da Zi was not happy . He wasn't happy that his master didn't want to take him along even though he was his master's first familiar . It took Gao Peng a long time to comfort Da Zi before he was willing to go with his grandfather .
This is the master's grandfather!
His Grandfather!
Dumby was Gao Peng's current strongest familiar, so of course, he would accompany Gao Peng . The five-meter-tall figure stuck to Gao Peng like glue wherever he went . On Gao Peng's shoulder was the green Silly . On his right was a fat crane that was hopping along .
Although Flamy was still a bit fat, he did not look like a penguin anymore . At least he somewhat looked like a crane . His fat body, shiny feathers, and thick neck all made him look like the spoiled son of a rich man .
"Actually, Baiye District is one of the districts in Yuzhou City that… is lagging behind economically," Wang Liang whispered to Gao Peng . At the same time, he also observed Gao Peng's facial expression when he told him that information .
"How far are they lagging behind?" Gao Peng asked . One couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry .
"A lot of people died during the Cataclysm . The social makeup changed drastically . Many people here are not able to adapt to the changes . " Wang Liang lowered his head and sighed .
"Why is this place called Baiye? It is because the people who were waiting for jobs came from all sorts of professionals and industries before the Cataclysm . Some of the people were unwilling to resign themselves to their situation, so they worked hard and left this place . The ones that remained were…" Wang Liang laughed . What he implied went without saying .
Gao Peng nodded and looked around him . There weren't a lot of pedestrians in Baiye . He hadn't seen many pedestrians while walking on the streets .
They turned a corner in front of them . Wang Liang pointed to a two-story building and said, "Young Master Gao, this is the Southern Sky Group's branch in Baiye District . It is responsible for the human resources management in this district . "
Gao Peng's attention was drawn to a hall opposite the building . There was a large awning in front of the hall . A dilapidated flap extended from the hall to the outside . A large black fan kept making a loud, Buzz, buzz, buzz .
Under the awning, there were people sitting down and lying around . It was crowded with people . Their clothes were old and their hair messy . They were there to rest . To get some air .
Sometimes, someone would walk into the hall or come out of the hall . People inside were moving around . Many were frowning, and they looked like they had a chip on their shoulder . The way they walked look like they were afraid of stepping on a mine . They moved around very hesitantly .
"What is that?" Gao Peng was somewhat shocked .
"Oh, that is Baiye City's recruitment hall . The people inside there are Baiye's best . " It was unclear what kind of tone Wang Liang was speaking with .
"Baiye's best . What is that?" Gao Peng was somewhat suspicious . The people inside didn't look like they were the best at anything .
"It's just sarcasm . Many people here have lost loved ones, their houses have been destroyed, or they are unwilling to sign the Blood Contract . They think it is the curse of the devil . Who the hell knows . They are just trying to get by . They live their life one day at a time . " Wang Liang shook his head .
