Chapter 8 A Temptation of Nuclear Power

Besides not being hungry, Jiang Yu also felt very hot.

It's so hot!

Although the coastal area isn't as hot in September, there are still a few days with ridiculously high temperatures.

It's only a little past seven in the morning, and the sun hasn't even reached its zenith yet.

It should be quite cool.

But Jiang Yu felt that it was the hottest time of day.

He felt unwell from the heat.

While waiting at the traffic light, he couldn't resist taking out his phone to check the weather forecast...

The results showed that the current temperature was only 21℃.

He looked up at the sky…

The sun didn't even shine directly on him.

The dense foliage of the large locust tree by the roadside enveloped him in its shade, completely blocking out the sunlight.

But he still felt hot all over.

Strangely...

He wasn't sweating at all.

Not a single drop.

With such a hot perceived temperature, the body should be sweating profusely to cool down.

But when he touched his forehead, neck, and back, everything was dry.

The skin even felt a little cool.

This is the complete opposite of the "heat" he felt inside his body.

"Maybe I'm just too agitated..." Jiang Yu offered himself an excuse.

Yesterday's series of troubles had already given him enough of a headache.

I woke up to find I had a little sister, the neighborhood committee lady suspected I was having a mental breakdown, I splurged on a family bucket and only ate one chicken wing, my savings suddenly increased by 700 yuan a month for rent, my lifestyle was disrupted, and I had to get up early to take the little brat to school…

With all these annoying things piled up, who wouldn't get angry?

Jiang Yu was just about to shove his phone back into his pocket...

"Buzz buzz buzz buzz!"

The continuous vibrations made his palms go numb.

A series of notification banners popped up on the screen.

One after another, at such a fast pace that there was simply no time to read them all.

Notifications from WeChat, text messages, recruitment apps, and emails... all crammed together, like a group of people knocking on the door at the same time.

Jiang Yu paused for two seconds, then quickly opened the recruitment app.

Goodness…

There are 99+ unread messages in the top right corner.

"?"

Jiang Yu's first reaction was that the software had a bug, or it was some kind of marketing push.

But when he opened it, he immediately stood up from the electric scooter.

It's not a bug!

These are genuine private messages!

Every single one of these messages was sent by HR!

"Hello Mr. Jiang Yu, we have received your resume. After screening, we believe you are a perfect fit for our company's position and would like to invite you for an interview..."

"Mr. Jiang, would it be convenient for you to come to the company for an interview this afternoon? We can arrange it according to your schedule..."

"Hello, young man, our boss is very interested in you after reviewing your resume and hopes to have a chat with you in person..."

"Good morning, Jiang Yu! Our company highly values ​​your professional background and internship experience, and we look forward to further discussions with you!"

……

Jiang Yu's eyes widened.

He remembered all the companies that had sent him interview invitations.

Some were just submitted yesterday, while others were submitted several weeks ago.

He even glanced at the recruitment app before going to bed last night.

All those chat windows were filled with "read but not replied to".

The results of it?

Overnight, as if they had all conspired together, all the companies sent him interview invitations.

What's going on here?

Jiang Yu stared blankly at his phone.

Happiness came too suddenly.

The suddenness of it all felt very unreal to him.

"Could this be some new kind of scam?"

"Or are these companies engaging in some kind of exploitative practice targeting interns?"

Some companies specialize in this kind of thing.

Hire a batch of interns, pay them minimum wage during the probationary period, then find some excuse to fire them all before the three-month probationary period ends, and then replace them with the next batch…

This way, you can work at a low cost, avoid paying social security contributions, and get three months of free labor.

They keep exploiting every year during graduation season, with a batch of fresh graduates getting fleeced.

But Jiang Yu would be willing to be cut off even if it meant his life was cut!

Our savings were already running low, and now we have a new sister...

He desperately needs a job to make ends meet.

But his academic qualifications and professional background are both very poor, and he also has a history of mental illness…

Normally, he wouldn't even be eligible to be cut.

Sending out his resume was like handing out flyers on the street; nobody paid any attention to him.

Now look what's happened, a bunch of companies are lining up to take advantage of him.

This treatment is like leeks suddenly becoming hot commodities.

But he wants to choose the one with the highest salary.

After all, even being "ripped off" requires considering the cost-effectiveness.

He started screening companies one by one...

Soon, his finger stopped on one of the messages.

The message was not sent by the company, but by an organization he had no recollection of.

Binhai City Urban Planning Bureau?

"Hello Mr. Jiang, we are from the Personnel Department of the Binhai City Urban Planning Bureau."

"After initial screening, your qualifications perfectly match our company's talent needs, and we cordially invite you to participate in an interview."

Position: Staff Member of the Inspection Section

Work Location: 25th Floor, Building A, Binhai Municipal Government Service Center

Salary and benefits: 6000 yuan/month during the probation period, 7500 yuan/month after probation, full payment of five social insurances and one housing fund, weekends off, statutory holidays, paid annual leave, and free meals provided in the company canteen.

"If you are interested, please bring your ID card, academic certificate, and other relevant materials to the above address for an interview at 14:30 PM today."

After carefully reading the message, Jiang Yu frowned.

Isn't this a public institution?

City Planning Bureau…

Judging from the name, it's an official department, a legitimate "within the system".

Don't all public institutions require passing the civil service exam?

The entire process, including aptitude tests, essay writing, interviews, and background checks, takes at least six months and depends on the competition ratio for each position.

One radish, one hole.

Sometimes thousands of people compete for a single spot.

How do I send an invitation to a retail investor now?

Temporary worker?

The key point is...

He didn't remember submitting his resume to this "city planning bureau".

He had never even heard of this department.

After so many years of transmigration, the official departments of this world are still pretty much the same as before.

What about the Development and Reform Commission, the Finance Bureau, the Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, the Natural Resources Bureau…

But he had never heard of the "City Planning Bureau".

Are they similar to urban management officers?

In charge of urban planning?

Shouldn't it be called the "Natural Resources and Planning Bureau"?

"Is it another newly established department?"

"Or are they temporary workers? Non-permanent staff? Labor dispatch workers?"

But the message said "clerk".

The title "clerk" is usually used only by those with formal employment status... right?

Temporary workers are usually called "staff" or "auxiliary staff".

Jiang Yu looked at the message again, puzzled.

It must be said that the other party's sincerity was indeed much higher than that of other companies.

The salary is 6000 during the probationary period and 7500 after probation. Benefits include weekends off, statutory holidays, full social insurance and housing fund contributions, and free meals at the company cafeteria.

Whether he gets a permanent position or not doesn't matter; Jiang Yu is prepared to be taken advantage of anyway.

But this meal pack is really delicious!

The words "three free meals" are an irresistible temptation for Jiang Yu in his current situation.

A takeout meal costs at least 20 yuan.

Three meals a day would cost 60, and a month would cost 1800.

This gave Jiang Yu the feeling that he was gaining an advantage by working an extra day.

Moreover, the average salary in Binhai is only a little over five thousand.

Six thousand yuan is already above the average.

Moreover, there are weekends off and statutory holidays, and it follows the rules of public institutions completely.

Many companies can't even guarantee one day off per week these days.

Especially for someone with a history of mental illness like him, it was like a trap falling from the sky.

My workplace isn't far, about a 20-minute bike ride away.

Jiang Yu stared at the screen for a long time before finally making a decision.

Go check it out!

Anyway, there's nothing much to do in the afternoon.

If it's a scam, just go for an interview at another company.

I already have a ton of interview invitations, so one more won't make a difference.

If it's not a scam...

That job is just too good to be true.
