Everyone looked in the direction of the person who was speaking.
The person who spoke was Barry. He was six feet one inch tall and had a dashing appearance. He was very popular in school, not only because of his former identity as the student council’s president but also because his financial resources could not be underestimated. Just Like Jeremy, Barry belonged to the group of people who drove to school when they were in university.
Yesterday morning, when Robert was soaking in the bathtub, he saw the discussion in the class group chat that Barry wanted to start his own company.
Barry looked at Robert with unconcealed disdain in his eyes.
“Robert, you should have looked in the mirror and taken a good look at yourself. Which part of you makes you think you deserve to be with Marilyn?” Barry walked to Robert with a mocking expression on his face.
Robert glanced at Barry from top to bottom. “If I don’t deserve to be with Marilyn, do you think you deserve her? Even if you fawn over her, you can’t say anything on her behalf since you’re a nobody, am I right?”
“What the hell are you talking about?” Immediately, an angry voice broke through the crowd. One of Barry’s sidekicks in class rushed over and began to shove Robert. It seemed that guy wanted to fight with Robert if there was a disagreement. The students in the class persuaded the sidekick to let Robert be one after another, but the guy had no intention of giving up.
“Enough! There’s no need to care so much about such a person. He’s a pauper. It doesn’t matter to me. On campus, he dares to speak out loud a few times. When he leaves school and enters society, that’s all he will ever amount to, ha–ha!” Barry shrugged.
The sidekick was only willing to give it a rest after Barry finished speaking. The latter pointed at Robert fiercely and walked towards the campus with Barry.
“Hurry up! The recruitment drive is about to start. If we slow down, we can’t make it in time!”
“Let’s go!”
Someone brought back the news that recruitment was starting. The students in the class became anxious and swarmed out of the classroom.
“Robert, let’s move! You are a budding young scholar in this school, but it’s a new life after graduation. Put away your persistence and arrogance. I heard that Barry’s company pays well. If anything, you can discuss things with Barry as gentlemen would. Since you’re in the same class with him, he should be willing to let you work there.” A student patted. Robert on the shoulder and advised him.
Robert glanced at Marilyn walking out with the crowd and then shook his head. “No, thanks. I’ve got a better place to go.” “Come on! I really can’t figure out why you’ve got a big ego. In the face of money, pride is nothing! Never mind, ignore my words.” The student stopped persuading Robert and ran out to join the recruitment drive.
The graduation job fair was particularly popular. Many well–known companies came to recruit people, and the graduates also went all out to introduce themselves and hand in their resumes.
Barry was also a graduate that year but was not among the crowd of students who submitted resumes. On the contrary, he sat in a recruitment seat with a canopy over his head. He was drinking an iced drink while chatting cheerfully and humorously with other representatives, looking extremely unrestrained.
Robert saw Barry, and the latter happened to look at him. The latter smiled and shouted, “Robert, do you want to come to my company for an interview? My company is short of a restroom cleaner. I think you’re very suited for that role!”
Barry’s words immediately caused a burst of laughter.
“Barry, you’re so mean. Robert at least has won a scholarship for four years. How can he work as a restroom cleaner at your company?” Á beautiful girl kept winking at Barry.
“A scholarship? It’s useless! To me, he only deserves to be a restroom cleaner. I won’t even take another look at people like him once he’s out of school. Barry was disdainful. His voice was loud as if he could not wait for everyone in the school to hear it.
At that moment, many people turned to look at Robert and shook their heads pitifully. At a glance, one could tell that Barry was the kind of person whose family was powerful and influential. Once such a person entered society, he inevitably would have a smooth career path for the rest of his life. The rich people’s group was only so big, especially in a small city like Yrinas. Since Robert had offended Barry, it was going to be difficult for the former to develop his career in Yrinas.
“Hi, our company is quite good. You can consider us.”
“Hi, I’ve read your resume; you’re very much in line with our company’s requirements.”
“Hi…

Chapter 10
Unlike others who persistently kept submitting resumes, in Marilyn’s situation, many companies‘ HR representatives took the initiative to approach her to inquire about her career path.
In that society, beautiful women always had more opportunities than others, especially women with good temperaments and
appearances like Marilyn. Furthermore, her grades were also excellent. Many companies wanted women who had both talent and good looks.
The graduates looked at Marilyn with much envy.
“Hey everyone, you all can give up on recruiting her. Kendrick, who was dressed in a formal suit, walked to Marilyn’s side and said. “Marilyn Quesnell is already working as the deputy general manager for Zabel Group. I think the deputy general manager of Zabel Group shouldn’t be worse than anyone here.”
Kendrick looked very confident.
Those companies who wanted to hire Marilyn were shocked when they heard Kendrick’s words.
The news about Zabel Group wanting to enter the Yrinas’s commercial district had been completely gotten around. One had to know that the Zabel Group was a conglomerate in the provincial capital, and the word “enormous” could not even be used to describe their funds. Once the Zabel Group entered Yrinas, it could definitely set off a foul wind and a rain of blood in the business world of Yrinas. The deputy general manager role of Zabel Group was simply that prestigious.
It was reckoned that 90% of the Yrinas companies‘ chairmen acted politely whenever they met the deputy general manager of Zabel Group.
“The deputy general manager of Zabel Group! She’s too powerful!”
“I never expected anything less of Marilyn!”
“What is this? We’re still struggling at the bottom, but Marilyn has already stood at the peak.”
The graduates had surveyed many companies. Yesterday morning, they were still chatting enthusiastically about Zabel Group and anticipating they could get an opportunity to enter Zabel Group for an internship. In the end, Marilyn became the deputy general manager of Zabel Group right away.
“Marilyn breaking up with Robert was the right choice. Look! Mr. Zabel is so handsome!”
“He’s young and rich. He’s so much better than Robert!”
“How can you compare Robert with Mr. Zabel? Isn’t this an insult to Mr. Zabel?”
Rustling sounds could be heard. Kendrick, who was in a suit and leather shoes, appeared mature and rich. This formed a sharp contrast to Robert, who was wearing an academic gown and still looked quite boyish.
Outside Yrinas University school gate, Carlos was holding a mobile phone.
“Mr. Zabinski. I understand. It has been arranged. I’ve prepared the appointment letters for the 18 subsidiary companies, and I’ll ask Mr. Robert Zabinski to sign them later. Yes, I’m outside the school now and about to go.
and
him.”

Behind Carlos were ten Rolls–Royces with consecutive license plates. The scene made passersby glance at them frequently. In Yrinas, no one had ever seen any families with such extravagance.
At the university job fair, Robert had already become a joke in everyone’s eyes. First, he was dumped by Marilyn, and then he offended Barry. Now, he was being compared to Kendrick. Robert had been reduced to nothing but a clown that day.
