Head Gao.
Wang Liang ran over. Gao Peng was currently training Flamy and had his back to Wang Liang. He said to Gao Peng,
The boy you instructed me to look for has arrived. I’ve already made an identity card for him. He has been waiting for you downstairs.


Understood.
Gao Peng nodded and threw the frisbee in his hand. Flamy turned his head and opened his beak. Hot fire sprang out and instantly hit the frisbee, burning it in midair. The flames dropped liked water to the floor.
The frisbee flew for another ten meters before hitting the wall. It then fell to the floor. The white frisbee had been burned black.

Bring him to me… Nevermind. I’ll go to him myself.
Gao Peng thought for a while and decided that it was better for him to go personally.
He was the one who had asked the boy to come over, after all. It would be strange if he didn’t go personally. After all, the only ones who knew of his identity at this branch were Wang Liang and Xue Hong.
Gao Peng told Dumby to help train Flamy. The training was very simple. It was just to toss the fireproof frisbee so that Flamy could spit fire at it. This was to train Flamy’s accuracy.
Even with his powerful flames, he would still have to aim to hit his enemies. Although Flamy had grasped the use of his skills, he still required a little bit of training to reach his potential.
Gao Peng paused for a while and then said to Wang Liang,
Go get me another 200 of these fireproof frisbees. Just charge my account.

The fireproof frisbee was a piece of very basic training equipment. It was also very simple to produce. Many companies made their own, and the Southern Sky Group was no exception. This was why they could be found in the company’s warehouse.
Wang Liang nodded to show he understood.
Gao Peng came to the office building. A small figure was standing there timidly. He looked very out of place.
The little boy recognized Gao Peng when he saw him. He secretly glanced up at Gao Peng. When their eyes met, he quickly lowered his head.

You’re… a girl?
Gao Peng asked softly.

I am a boy!
What Gao Peng said hurt his ego so he replied very loudly. His voice was very clear, but maybe it was because he hadn’t reached puberty, his voice sounded a bit feminine.
Gao Peng laughed. He wanted to relax the boy a bit because he looked very tense. It seemed that the boy’s courage had grown after speaking loudly. Although he was still nervous, he could now at least lift up his head and look Gao Peng in the eye.

We have been expanding our factories recently, so we are short on manpower. We want to recruit more workers, but we don’t seem to have any luck on that end.
Gao Peng spoke slowly,
How about it? Are you interested in helping me out? Of course, your wages will be lower than the others because you are a child worker. The people who are more able-bodied will work more. Rent and food are covered by the company, and you will be able to use the training center for free after work. This is a basic benefit for workers.

The light in the little boy’s eyes got brighter and brighter. His heart was beating fast. He nodded furiously.

What is your name?


Li Junzong!


Good name.


Head Gao, do you want me to place a recruitment notice in the recruitment hall?
Wang Liang asked quietly.
Gao Peng’s gaze shot over to him.
Have we ever placed recruitment notices at the recruitment hall?

Wang Liang stood still for a while and then shook his head.
No, we recruit quarterly. It is handled by the human resources department.


Then don’t place the notice.
Gao Peng shook his head.
He helped Li Junzong because he admired Li Junzong for cleaning up the training center after using it. That was why he reached out to help him.
Southern Sky Group wasn’t a charity organization. Those who wanted to come work here would have to get in during the quarterly recruitment. Those who had the will and the talent wouldn’t need his help to get in.

Oh right, when is the next recruitment period?


Two weeks from now.

Gao Peng muttered,
Did we recruit child workers in the past?


Most large companies don’t take in child workers,
Wang Liang answered carefully.

Let’s relax the age limit just this once. His basic salary will be lower than others by 30%. The other benefits are unchanged.
The factory had a minimum amount of work each worker had to fulfill. Once that minimum was fulfilled, extra work done would be considered as a bonus. The more someone worked, the more they got paid. It was very straightforward.
Gao Peng let out a long sigh and said to Li Junzong,
Where is your rat? You didn’t bring him?

Li Junzong hesitated for a moment and said carefully,
It searches for food in the sewers during the day.


Understood.
Gao Peng nodded.
Gao Peng became very interested in that rat when he saw its attributes.
[Monster Name]: Blood Scavenger Rat (Heavy Metal Variant)
[Monster Level]: Level 4
[Monster Status]: Mild Injury (Exhausted)
[Monster Grade]: Excellent
[Monster Attribute]: Gold
[Monster Weakness]: 1. Fire-type 2. Light-type
The Blood Scavenger Rat was a heavy metal variant. This was the first time Gao Peng had seen something like this.
This monster was able to get along with a little boy. It even seemed like it was this little boy’s familiar. There was definitely a story behind this.
However, Gao Peng was not interested in slowly going through his story. If Li Junzong wanted to share his story, he would share it. If he did not want to share it, Gao Peng wouldn’t ask about it.
After they arranged for him to come in and start work officially tomorrow, Li Junzong left.

Are you sure he went to the Southern Sky Group?
In a two-story house, a yellow-faced man with a flat top hairstyle who was wearing a yellow short-sleeved shirt asked, looking unhappy.
The room was very dim. Only a small stream of light from the window gave the place a little light.

Yes, I quietly inquired about it. He seems to have been recruited by a senior executive at the Baiye District branch. He was given a position as a factory employee.


He must be crazy!
The yellow-faced man looked very unhappy.
I encouraged him to join us due to the kindness of my heart, but this kid is stubborn. He’d rather eat the trash his familiar gets him. Now that he is a worker at the factory, he definitely won’t join us.


Boss, what should we do? Why don’t we teach that little punk a lesson?
asked the small man next to him.

What the hell are you saying! Use your brain to think for a second!
the yellow-faced man scolded him. The Southern Sky Group was not a company that they could mess with. Even an executive from a branch office was someone that they shouldn’t touch.
The Southern Sky Group had a subsidiary company called the Southern Sky Security Company.
What did they protect?
They provided protection to the large and small criminal organizations in Yuzhou! They collected security payments from them regularly!
The yellow-faced man lowered his head resentfully.
Forget it. The next time we see that little boy, we will just pretend we don’t know him.

He initially wanted Li Junzong to join his organization because he had a monster. More importantly, the monster was very fast. It should be quite strong. He did not expect Li Junzong to be able to find someone so powerful to help him.
This caused him great annoyance.
