C2 Break Up!

After Director Bai finished giving his instructions, he turned and walked away, leaving the interviewer with an embarrassed look on his face.

He wiped the sweat from his brow and managed a strained smile as he turned to Zhang Yang.

"So... you heard that, right? Haha, congratulations on becoming our company's CEO assistant. Your monthly salary will be 10,000 yuan. Now, if you could just hand me your resume..."

Zhang Yang was momentarily dazed and didn't move.

The interviewer's face stiffened, but he restrained himself from losing his composure and awkwardly repeated, "Um... your resume, could you hand it over, please?"

"Oh, right, of course."

It was then that Zhang Yang snapped out of his stupor and quickly passed over his crumpled resume.

He had been genuinely taken aback just moments before, not expecting that the app would actually work and land him a job! The items available for exchange in the app were actually real!

Taking the crumpled resume, the interviewer inwardly lamented the predicament of working for such a CEO. It was downright mortifying. And then...

He glanced at Zhang Yang and noticed him grinning foolishly, as if lost in a pleasant daydream.

Seeing Zhang Yang's goofy smile, the interviewer couldn't help but scoff. He figured that by tomorrow, this kid would surely be fired by the volatile Director Bai. But for now, he thought, let the kid bask in his moment of triumph.

The interviewer then went over some details with Zhang Yang and they signed an employment contract.

Once everything was in order, Zhang Yang left the company, brimming with excitement. He immediately pulled out his phone to call his girlfriend, Xiaoxuan.

Xiaoxuan had been nagging him about his impending graduation and lack of job prospects, wondering how he would support her in the future.

Zhang Yang chuckled to himself, eager to share his news. He imagined how thrilled Xiaoxuan would be to learn that he had secured a job as a CEO's assistant.

Perhaps this news would even take their relationship to the next level. After all, they had been dating for over a year and had only progressed to holding hands.

"Hey, Xiaoxuan, I've got some great news to tell you..." he said as soon as the call connected.

"Zhang Yang, I need to talk to you as well. Can you come to the school?"

Xiaoxuan seemed off today; her voice was low, suggesting she was in a foul mood. But Zhang Yang was too elated to pay much attention to this detail and quickly agreed to her request.

After ending the call, he spotted the shared bicycle he had ridden earlier. Overcome with gratitude, he kissed it, thinking that without scanning the code on this bike and stumbling upon that odd app, his job prospects would have been doomed.

He then took out his phone, intending to scan the code and continue his lucky ride to school on the shared bicycle. However, he discovered that opening the shared bicycle app would automatically redirect him to the Peach Blossom Wealth app, and the bicycle would unlock by itself.

On the Peach Blossom Wealth app, he was down to his last two Achievement Points. Every option in the shop was grayed out except for one that shone brightly, available for just two Achievement Points.

Zhang Yang pocketed his phone and pedaled the shared bicycle leisurely toward school. His spirits were high, and he hummed a tune, convinced that from this day forward, life would be wonderful.

The school wasn't far from the company, just over ten kilometers away, and Zhang Yang arrived in under an hour.

[Ding! You have earned one Achievement Point for this ride.]

"Just one point? Oh well, I don't need it right now anyway."

He glanced at his phone and then switched back to WeChat to let Xiaoxuan know he had made it to school. But as he set the phone down, he saw Xiaoxuan approaching him with her phone in hand.

"Hey, were you waiting for me at the school gate? Have you been here long?"

Zhang Yang greeted Xiaoxuan with a beaming smile and took her hand, ready to share the news of his job find. But Xiaoxuan pulled her hand away and gave him a cold, detached look before saying, "Zhang Yang, let's break up."

"What did you say?" Zhang Yang was dumbfounded, his hand hanging in the air, the smile still lingering on his face.

"I've been with you for so long, and I just can't see any hope. You're saying you can't even land a job now. How are you supposed to provide for me in the future?"

"I... I've already..."

Zhang Yang began to tell her that he had secured a job, but Xiaoxuan cut him off harshly.

"Yes, yes, I know you've tried hard, but let's face it, you just don't have what it takes, do you? I can't bear the thought of us struggling without money in the future, so let's end this. We're breaking up."

Xiaoxuan's words were icy and merciless, leaving Zhang Yang feeling a mix of disappointment and rage.

He had once braved a rainy night to fetch hot porridge from a diner ten kilometers away, just because she said she was hungry. He scrimped and saved, working part-time for four months to afford an Apple phone for her after she complained about her old one.

"Heh, so now that graduation is near and I'm of no use to you, you want to just toss me aside?"

Zhang Yang's laugh was bitter and hollow, a sound that betrayed his shattered heart.

Just then, a short, plump man decked out in designer gear sauntered over and casually wrapped his arm around Xiaoxuan's waist, smirking at Zhang Yang.

"Xiaoxuan, is this the loser who's been hounding you? He didn't seriously think you were his girlfriend, did he? Haha!"

It was Zhao Yu, the class president from Zhang Yang's class, a rich second-generation kid who drove a BMW to school every day. His chubby cheeks jiggled as he laughed.

Zhang Yang's eyes reddened with fury at the sight of Zhao Yu's pudgy hand on Xiaoxuan's waist. He clenched his teeth and fists, trembling with anger.

Throughout their relationship, Xiaoxuan had never let him touch her casually, not even to hold hands unless she felt like it.

And now, for money, she was willing to let someone like Zhao Yu, whom Zhang Yang saw as nothing more than a fat pig, freely touch her?

Zhao Yu noticed Zhang Yang's expression and sneered with even greater disdain, "What are you staring at? Xiaoxuan is my girlfriend now. I'm warning you, stay away from her or I'll have someone take care of you."

"Wang Xiaoxuan, I truly misjudged you. To think you'd stoop so low for money..."

Zhang Yang was driven to the brink of madness. He pointed at Zhao Yu, unable to contain his fury as he bellowed at Xiaoxuan.

"Hehe, no matter what, I'm still better off than a poor kid like you. It takes you four months to buy a lousy phone. It's embarrassing just to think about it."

Xiaoxuan looked at him with utter contempt, not finding anything shameful in the situation.

She then affectionately linked arms with Zhao Yu and inquired about where he had been hanging out recently.

With a sly grin, Zhao Yu boasted that he had secured a room at a downtown five-star hotel for the night. As for the next few days, he teased that it would all depend on Xiaoxuan's behavior.

Pouting playfully, Xiaoxuan exclaimed, "You're terrible!" before Zhao Yu swept her off her feet and into a sleek BMW.
