Chapter 127: A Green Plum Falls from the Sky
"That's all for today. I've learned about your basic situation and will give you a reply within three working days."

"Okay, thanks."

"Walk slowly."

After sending off the professional manager recommended by the headhunter, Chen Moqi wrote an evaluation on his resume: mature and steady, not aggressive enough.

This man is over 40 and has rich management experience, but perhaps because of his age, he seems to lack the enterprising spirit and is not very suitable for a startup company like mine.

Chen Mo let out a light breath and rubbed his brows. He interviewed several people, but felt that none of them were suitable.

Some of them are full of boasting, starting with an industry analysis and various future prospects, and they are just short of making a PPT presentation.

When asked how to implement it, he gave another long speech, occasionally throwing in some industry professional terms, which sounded confusing and impressive.

But when you listen carefully, you can hear that what they say is just some vague clichés, and the meaning they express is also ambiguous.

You can't say that what he said is wrong, but you can't find a specific point that is right either. He mainly talks in general terms, and his words are off the mark.

Chen Mo felt that it was a waste for such a talent to come to him. Just based on his ability to speak such meaningless and incoherent words for half an hour without repeating himself, it would be a pity for him not to join the system.

Some people have the ability but feel that they are not interested in this, and may apply for the job just to find a temporary transition job.

Others are just average and meet the basic requirements, but there is nothing particularly outstanding about them. Chen Mo feels that they are a little lacking.

“Talent is hard to come by.”

Chen Mo sighed and looked through the last resume. He graduated from a prestigious overseas university, worked as a senior executive in a large media company, and had rich industry experience.
"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door.

"Please come in." Chen Mo said.

The door was pushed open, Chen Mo looked towards the door and subconsciously raised his eyebrows.

I saw a beautiful woman with fair skin and graceful curves walking in slowly.

Because of her plump figure, the professional suit on the woman appears a little tight in some places, which perfectly illustrates what is meant by "uniform temptation".

Out of male instinct, Chen Mo was inevitably attracted by the attention.

But being used to seeing beauties like his girlfriend, Chen Mo didn't feel too much inside. He just glanced at her politely and then looked away.

The woman seemed to be aware of this as well. She was thinking of something, but the corners of her mouth rose slightly, with a playful expression on her face.

"Please sit down." Chen Mo gestured with his hand.

"Thank you." The woman sat down generously.

"Ms. Pei, right? Then please introduce yourself briefly."

Chen Mo looked at the woman's resume, her name was "Pei Luo".

"My introduction and resume are all here." Pei Luo said.

Chen Mo raised his head when he heard this, "Then tell me what's not in your resume."

"Okay." Pei Luo nodded.

"I grew up in BJ and went abroad after primary school. I just returned to China last month. I went to primary school at the Affiliated Primary School of Beijing Conservatory of Music. At that time, there was a grandson sitting behind me in my class. He always liked to act mean and pull my hair for no reason."

Chen Mo frowned when he heard the beginning. Why don't you introduce your work experience, what projects you have taken over, and what achievements you have made, but instead introduce your growth experience?

However, as he listened, Chen Mo's expression became a little strange. He looked at the personal information on the resume again, then looked up at the woman in front of him. He felt that the woman did not match the figure in his mind.

"Are you the fat black girl?" Chen Mo asked uncertainly.

Pei Luo glared at him and sneered, "You just remember the nickname you gave me, right?"

"Really?!" Chen Mo's eyes widened.

Although he heard the other party admit it herself, Chen Mo still couldn't believe it. He really couldn't connect the bright and beautiful woman in front of him with the fat black girl in his impression.

Chen Mo asked curiously, "Didn't you say you were going to the United States? Why did you change your route to South Korea?"

"You're the one going to Korea!" Pei Luodi blurted out in his BJ accent.

"Girls change a lot when they grow up, don't you understand? This girl is all natural, imported from China."

Hearing this familiar accent and tone, Chen Mo was now convinced and couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that the ugly duckling can really become a white swan."

When Pei Luo was a child, she was wild, gluttonous and playful. She was tanned and had a chubby face, so Chen Mo nicknamed her "Black Fat Girl".

"When I came in just now, your eyes were wide open, right?" Pei Luo said with a teasing look.

"Oh, how is that possible?" Chen Mo shook his head in disdain.

"Although you are indeed considered a beauty now, you are still a little inferior to my girlfriend."

"Really?" Pei Luo placed his hands on the table, leaning forward slightly, and his already strong chest became even more turbulent.

Chen Mo didn't waste any words and directly opened the screensaver on his phone to show the photo of Xu Hongdou.

"Take a good look, there are always people better than you, and there are always people beyond the mountains." Chen Mo stopped talking halfway through his sentence.

When it comes to appearance and temperament, Xu Hongdou is definitely the winner.

But if we just say that this is higher than the mountain, although Chen Mo doesn't want to admit it, objectively speaking, Pei Luo is indeed several levels better.

Pei Luo didn't notice Chen Mo's lag, but looked at the photo of Chen Mo and Xu Hongdou on the screen saver and sighed:

"What the hell are you stepping on? You really found such a beautiful girlfriend."

"I didn't step on dog shit, it was my girlfriend who stepped on cow dung." Chen Mo couldn't help but laugh when he recalled the time when Xu Hongdou stepped on cow dung when she first arrived in Yunnan.

"You are quite self-aware." Pei Luo thought that Chen Mo compared himself to a flower stuck in cow dung.

"Let's talk about you. Why did you suddenly return to China?" Chen Mo put down his phone and asked.

"Even your last name has changed. If you hadn't still been so aggressive, I wouldn't have recognized you." Pei Luo's last name was Xu, and her name was Xu Luo. Her father was also a professor at Beijing Conservatory of Music, and a colleague of Fang Shuyun.

At that time, both Chen Mo's family and Pei Luo's family lived in the staff building of Beiyin. The two families were neighbors and had a close relationship.

Chen Mo and Pei Luo are of similar age, and they often play together and go to school together.

Later, Pei Luo's parents divorced, and Pei Luo went abroad with her mother.

Pei Luo would return to her father's place every winter and summer vacation, but by then Chen Mo's family had already moved out of the staff housing complex.

At that time, unlike today, primary and secondary school students all had a mobile phone, and there were various group chats where they could add friends at any time.

The two were still children at the time and had no way to contact each other, so they gradually lost contact.

"Now I take my mother's surname." Pei Luo explained.

"My mother wants to return to China to retire, so I'll come back to develop. This will save me from traveling back and forth across the ocean in the future."

"So you knew I was here and came to find me specifically?" Chen Mo asked with a smile.

"You are still so shameless." Pei Luo sighed.

"I heard the headhunter introduce your background. The name sounded familiar, so I asked my dad about your family's current situation, and that's when it matched up."

"Alas, things have changed. You used to be in charge of collecting homework, but now you are in my hands."

Chen Mo leaned back, adjusted his posture, and crossed his legs.

Pei Luo smiled and said, "If you want to show off, believe it or not, I will still chase you for three blocks."

"Ahem." Chen Mo then recalled the toughness of the Beijing girl in front of him. He put down his legs and sat up straight again.

In the past, they sat at the tables in front and behind each other, and Chen Mo sometimes liked to pull Pei Luo's braids.

Once, when he wasn't paying attention, Chen Mo pulled Pei Luo and hurt him. Without saying a word, Pei Luo picked up the dustpan at the back of the classroom and chased Chen Mo around the entire building, attracting countless onlookers.

Girls develop earlier than boys, and at that time Chen Mo really couldn't beat Pei Luo.

Chen Mo cleared her throat twice, "You are wearing a skirt and high heels, why do you keep talking about violence? You are not a lady at all."

"I like it, what's it to you?" Pei Luo raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I will be your boss from now on, so you should pay attention to your attitude when speaking." Chen Mo reminded.

"So, Mr. Chen has taken a fancy to me?" Pei Luo smiled charmingly.

Chen Mo said helplessly: "Pay attention to your wording. We are doing a serious job recruitment. I am not looking for a secretary."

Pei Luo blinked, "Secretary? It's the secretary's job if there's something to do, it's nothing."

"Okay, okay." Chen Mo interrupted hurriedly, "You've been studying foreign literature for a few years, but you haven't lost your understanding of traditional culture."

"Nonsense, I was born and raised in China."

Pei Luo patted his broad chest, trembling, which made Chen Mo's eyelids twitch, fearing that the fabric would not be able to hold it.

"Okay, you're welcome to join us." Chen Mo stood up and extended his hand.

"We haven't seen each other for so long, don't you want a hug?" Pei Luo opened his arms.

"The national conditions are different, so we can just shake hands." Chen Mo shook his head. It is a foul to hit someone with the ball.

Pei Luo glanced at Chen Mo, stretched out his hand and shook it gently, and said with a smile: "You are quite a man of integrity."

Chen Mo bowed slightly, "Self-cultivation is a must for a good man."

The two sat down again and talked about the company's development plan.

"That is to say, after the company is established, we will be able to sign two influencers with millions of fans immediately."

"Well, they are all my friends, so be more lenient on the contract terms and don't set up sky-high liquidated damages."

Chen Mo talked about the account status of Nana and Chen Nanxing.

Nana already had more than five million fans, and after several months of hard work by Chen Nanxing, and with Jiang Congwen appearing on camera last time, his account finally broke one million.

Pei Luo nodded to show that she understood. She knew that in China, business and friendship could not be completely separated.

This is obviously different from other countries. China is a society based on personal relationships.

"The general direction of development is as we just said. Then you should recruit people as soon as possible and build the basic framework first."

"Okay, is our office address also in the building of Floating Cloud Entertainment?"

"No, let's find another place." Chen Mo shook his head, "I have already found a few places, let's go check them out together tomorrow."

"Okay." Pei Luo nodded.

"That's all for today." Chen Mo looked at the time and it was not time for dinner yet.

"Would you like to wait a moment and then have dinner together?"

"Forget it, let's talk about it tomorrow." Pei Luo stood up.

"Okay, then you don't need me to take you there, right?" Chen Mo nodded and asked.

"When you say this, do you want to send me off or not?" Pei Luo tilted his head slightly.

"I'm too lazy to see you off, but because of our friendship, I have to be polite." Chen Mo said truthfully.

"Heh, man."

Pei Luo rolled her eyes, shook her hair, and walked away without looking back.
