 6666 754754 765756 Association is confident that the highly fff anticipated restart of the domestic league will happen as ary when the outbreak peaked in China, is preparing to resume the remainder of the 2019-20 season at closed-door tournaments in safe locations without fan attendance this summer, CBA chairman Yao revealed during a CCTV interview on Friday. gdfg
," Yao interview CCTV. "The improving situation regarding the virus control and prevention has significantly enhanced the possibility for our league to restart."
With the country successfully containing the COVID-19 outbreak, the Chinese Basketball Association is confident that the highly anticipated restart of the domestic league will happen as early as July, said China's hoops chief Yao Ming.
The league, which has been locked out since February when the outbreak peaked in China, is preparing to resume the remainder of the 2019-20 season at closed-door tournaments in safe locations without fan attendance this summer, CBA chairman Yao revealed during a CCTV interview on Friday.
The priority for the restart is to make sure that the action won't compromise the country's hard-earned initial success in the battle against the coronavirus pandemic, Yao added.
"We are very confident at the moment that we could bring our league back on track," Yao said during the interview aired on CCTV. "The improving situation regarding the virus control and prevention has significantly enhanced the possibility for our league to restart."
Since the league came to an indefinite halt after 30 rounds of the 2019-20 regular season, the CBA has been preparing for all possible scenarios for a restart, including to complete the full schedule of the season, to cut short the regular action and to jump into the postseason directly.
It seems that to abandon the original home-and-away format and to have all the clubs finish a shortened regular season followed by the playoffs on a tight schedule will be the most likely option to get the restart going, according to Yao.
"We hope to keep the league as much as possible, while the adjustment on the schedule shall be done on the condition that it's fair to all the teams," said Yao, who took over the CBA in early 2017 as China's first basketball chief promoted from out of the governmental ranks.
The league will inform all the clubs 21 days in advance once the higher governing body and the country's health authorities give a green light to the league's restart, said Yao.
All foreign players, mostly from the United States, will have to follow China's virus control and prevention measures strictly, such as spending two weeks in mandatory quarantine upon their arrival and receiving tests for multiple times, if they are allowed to enter the country to join their clubs.
Currently, all foreign players and foreign coaches in China's professional sports leagues, who are still staying overseas, are not allowed to enter the country due to a temporary entry ban on foreign nationals imposed on March 28 to contain imported positive COVID-19 cases.

Great_Y here, I would like to first say sorry to all the readers who enjoyed this story and are looking forward to a new chapter.

I decided to put this story on hold as I am not satisfied with the speed of releases and the content I'm writing. I started this story as a small hobby of mine to improve my writing skills and (if possible) make it as my career after gaining enough experience but it has been difficult to write this story while working.

I'm not giving up on my passion but I feel that this story needs a different style of writing, different from webnovel format. I understood after writing for the past two months that this story can truly shine only when I develop the entire plot and plan ahead into the future to fully show the intelligence of Aons and their technology. Many of you might have noticed that I had cut corners at many places like not introducing the characteristics of races or just using regular tropes like lizardmen; this was done due to lack of time to think of names and create unique creatures, there is also a lack of character development and supporting roles to make the story more diverse. I really want to complete this story but my current capabilities are inadequate especially in character interactions.
I am going to write a new novel more suitable to webnovel format and put this story on hold, I hope you understand. I will definitely pick it up later when I'm more confident in doing justice to it.

There was a job posting site called WorkNet operated by the Department of Labor. Many people looked for a job on this site, so there were always lots of applicants for the job posted here.  Gun-Ho had been watching the job postings closely for a bookkeeper position, but he hadn't seen anything good yet.
"The statistics say ten people apply for one good open position. I will have no chance to get this kind of job. The employer will hire a woman; why would they hire a man like me over a woman?"
Gun-Ho diligently looked through the classified section in Gyocharo newspaper published twice a week.
"What? Hiring an unmarried and neat looking female bookkeeper?"
It was a job advertisement from a company in an industrial complex located in Uijeongbu City.
"Fuckers! Will live with her? Why are they looking for a neat looking unmarried female?"
There was another advertisement that drew Gun-Ho's attention.
"Job opening for bookkeeping and managing. No experience necessary. Someone who completed military service is encouraged to apply."
The posting is in the newspaper. There was an additional sentence in a small font.
"We are looking for someone who can do bookkeeping and handling sales statements using Excel."
They were kind enough to include their cell phone number. Gun-Ho called the number right away.
"Bangil Gas?"
"Yes."
"I am calling for the position posted in the newspaper. Is the bookkeeper position still open?"
"We are currently taking the applications. You can visit us with your resume."
"All right. The address is the one in the posting?"
"Yes. Pass the Eunhyeon Town township office and take the side road next to the Hyundai Oil gas station."
Gun-Ho got off work early to visit the company in Eunhyeon Town.
"Eunhyeon Town… I've never heard of this area."
 
It was a small factory with a tent roof. There were a lot of LP gas bottles in the yard. Gun-Ho saw the sign "Office" on the door of a dirty prefabricated building; he entered the office. There were a few desks.  The president came and greeted Gun-Ho.
"Did you bring your resume?"
"Yes, here it is."
The president looked at the resume for a while and then asked Gun-Ho, "Are you currently doing bookkeeping work at Dongil Tech?"
"No. I am with a production support team."
Gun-Ho didn't say he was working in a crushing site, but vaguely said he was with a production support team.
"We are not a factory; our company delivers propane gas. Will you take the job? We need someone who handles sales statements by entering the data into Excel and bringing it to the tax accountant office."
Gun-Ho didn't like the company; it was too small and dirty.
'Maybe I'll just gain my work experience here for a while then move to a good company.'
Gun-Ho thought he could use this job as a stepping stone since he had no work experience in accounting at all.
"This company is a 15-kilometer distance from my room at OneRoom, 30-kilometer round trip. I don't have to move. Let's do this."
Gun-Ho decided to take the job.
"I will do my best."
"Alright. I will let you know our decision tomorrow. The phone number on your resume is the contact number I can use?"
"Correct."
 
The next day, a woman called Gun-Ho.
"Did you submit your resume to Bangil Gas in Eunhyeon Town?"
"Yes, I did."
"We received three applications, and our president liked you the most. You can start tomorrow at 8 AM. Please bring your resident registration with you."
"I will do that."
Gun-Ho finally got a job in bookkeeping. Although the work was half bookkeeping and half handling sales documents, he could still list this job on his resume as 'Bookkeeper in Bangil Gas Corp.' when he applies for another company later.
 
Gun-Ho handed in his letter of resignation. The eyes of the crushing site team leader widened.
"Why are you handing over your resignation letter? Where are you going?"
"I think I'd better move to another company."
"Which company? Will they pay you more?"
"No, not really, but I'm leaving because I want to try an office job."
"An office job?"
"Actually, I have the computerized accounting certificate and Excel certificate, and I've wanted to work as a bookkeeper, and I just got a job offer."
"Really? You have those kinds of certificates?"
"I am sorry I had to let you know this last minute."
"I'm letting you go since you are moving for a better job… But we will miss you. Who will be a good replacement for your work?"
"I think Mr. Go in the washing team would be good."
"Do you think the washing site team leader will let him go?"
"I'm positive Mr. Go wants to join this crushing team because of the washing team leader's constant nagging."
"Okay. I will ask the director. Ehyo, I really liked to work with you."
Gun-Ho truly felt sorry for the team leader because he was really good to Gun-Ho while the team leader of the washing site had kept nagging him when he worked with him. Gun-Ho was under a lot of stress at that time.
 
Gun-Ho went to Bangil Gas in Eunhyeon Town, Yangju City with his resident registration.
"I don't see the lady I spoke with on the phone the other day."
Bangil Gas had five workers: three truck drivers, the owner, and Gun-Ho in the office. During the daytime, all three truck drivers were on the road for delivery; it was really quiet in the office.  It turned out that the lady Gun-Ho talked with on the phone the other day was the owner's wife; she often came to the office to help her husband do office chores and also to fight with him.
"Oh, this pretty young man will work with us? Are you married?"
The owner's wife had a louder voice than the owner and she was vibrant. The owner and his wife were boisterous, but they seemed to be good-natured people.
"By the way, I am not sure if this company is a corporation. I want to list this company on my resume as Bangil Gas Corp. so it makes me look like I have work experience in a somewhat big company for my next job."
Gun-Ho looked at the tax invoices scattered on the desk in the office; the stamp on the provider section showed Bangil Gas Corp.
"Thank God. It is a corporation!"
The owner said to Gun-Ho who was looking at the tax invoice,
"That is your desk, Goo Jooim."
"Jooim?"
Gun-Ho thought the job title sounded so obsolete it was probably used during the Japanese colonial period.
"After our bookkeeper left the company, I've handled those tax invoices myself by handwriting. Since you are here now, we can issue the tax invoices electronically."
Gun-Ho was perplexed a bit because he hadn't had any experience with issuing electronic tax invoices. He remembered the things he learned from the vocational school. He could issue tax invoices either from the website of National Tax Service, HomeTax, or using an accounting program. During the practical training in the vocational school, Gun-Ho issued a few tax invoices for practice, but he was still worried if he could do perform well in the practical scene.
"You are not using an accounting program here, are you?"
"We are not. I heard tax invoices can be issued from some National Tax Service website…"
"It's National Tax Service HomeTax website. Do you know your login ID and password? We need them."
"ID?"
The owner hurriedly made a phone call to someone.
"Honey, it's me. Do you know our ID for National Tax Service?"
"Why are you asking me that? You should know."
"Why should you talk like that? I'm asking you because I can't remember!"
"Look at the calendar on the wall."
"Okay."
The owner leafed through the big number calendar with a delivery company's name on it on the wall.
"There is no ID here."
"I see it below the company name. I will take note."
Gun-Ho clicked his tongue.
"He is the so-called owner of this company! He should have written it down in his diary or something."
Gun-Ho thought so.
While the owner was away from his desk, Gun-Ho practiced issuing tax invoices. When he made some mistakes in issuing two invoices, he was thinking of tearing them off, but he decided to take them with him home; he shoved them into his pocket.

This is the story of a poor young man whose poverty even shreds apart their family willing to climb his way through society and into the top. A very realistic novel that moves away from fantasy and sci-fi and focuses solely on the issues of society and life.

The office area of Dingtian Soccer Club.
Xiong Zhou walked to the door and looked at the plate that read, "General Manager's Office." After smoothing his collar, he knocked at the door.
"Please come in!" a euphonious female voice came out. Xiong Zhou took a deep breath, then he opened the door and entered the office.
Yunan Xiao was sitting at her table; several documents placed in front of her.
Xiong Zhou walked to the table seriously, prepared to accept the instructions of his boss.
As a member of the club's management level, Xiong Zhou knew the beautiful General Manager in front of him was the only daughter of the group's Chairman. Therefore, Xiong Zhou showed respect every time he met Yunan Xiao.
Yunan Xiao picked up three documents and handed them to Xiong Zhou, and she said, "These three coaches of the League One clubs are rejected. Harman is not satisfied with coaches of the Super League clubs, let alone the coaches from League One clubs. By the way, have you received any reply from Coach Sun of Shanggang?"
"That is why I came to speak with you. Coach Sun has replied to me. He said his child is still attending high school in Shanggang, and he doesn't want to come here," Xiong Zhou said.
"In that case, let's stop requesting him for now," Yunan Xiao said helplessly.
"Besides, Chairman Fang of Dalu Group recommended a coach to me. I have his resume here." As Xiong Zhou spoke, he handed the folder to Yunan Xiao.
"Chairman Fang called me about this candidate. He said this coach has a background of track and field events, and used to act as the physical trainer of the National Table Tennis Team. I think he must be competent enough if he had a foothold in the National Table Tennis Team. Furthermore, Chairman Fang is our shareholder; respecting his opinion is of utmost importance. So I have accepted his recommendation," Yunan Xiao said, taking the folder. After opening the folder, she saw Dai Li's picture of Dai Li.
"He looks familiar to me. Dai Li? The name also sounds familiar." Yunan Xiao started to read the working experience of Dai Li.
"Now I remember, it's him! He is the coach I met during that marathon." Yunan Xiao recognized Dai Li quickly.
During the Half Marathon held at Jinyan Lake, Dai Li left a deep impression on Yunan Xiao. Dai Li's help to Dalu Fang, as well his victory in the end made Yunan Xiao remember him. After looking at Dai Li's picture and reading his working experience, Yunan Xiao could remember that marathon clearly.
He has been acting as a physical trainer on the National Table Tennis Team these last few years. Now he is applying for the physical trainer position in our club.
Yunan Xiao smiled suddenly. She placed Dai Li's resume on the resumes of another two people, and said, "Translate these three resumes into English, and then send them to Coach Harman."
...
"Look, these are the resumes for the three physical trainers found by Ms. Xiao." Harman handed the three resumes to Claude.
After taking the resumes, Claude opened the first one.
"Chowtai Kim, a Korean. He used to act as the physical trainer in Chunnam Dragons Club in the K-league of South Korea." As Claude spoke, he nodded. "This one is okay. He has coaching experience in the professional soccer league, and the K-league is pretty impressive in Asia."
Then Claude opened the second resume.
"Haoxin Liu, a guy who was born in Hong Kong and brought up in Canada. He was a professional hockey player for a little while, and then acted as the physical trainer in the Vancouver Canucks of the NHL." Claude frowned slightly, then he said, "This guy's experience is good. After all, the NHL is one of the top four leagues in the United States. The level of their coaches should be fine. However, hockey is different than soccer. Maybe he will need some time to adapt to soccer, which is new to him."
Finally, Claude opened the third resume.
"Dai Li, is he also a coach? He is so young! It seems he is as young as our players. He has a background in track and field events, and used to act as the physical trainer of the table tennis event. Haha, they are kidding me, right?" Dissatisfaction flashed in Claude's eyes. Obviously, both Dai Li's age and working experience were not satisfactory to Claude.
Dai Li's experience as the physical trainer in the National Table Tennis Team was very impressive for many people in China. However, to Claude, Dai Li's working experience meant nothing.
As a physical trainer of the soccer event, Claude could be considered one of the best coaches in the world. To him, Asian physical trainers were far behind their European counterparts, let alone a physical trainer of a "small ball" event like table tennis.
"I have asked Xiong Zhou, who sent the resumes to me. According to his information, this table tennis coach was recommended by a shareholder of the club." Harman looked at Claude with an expression that said, "You should know that." Then he said, "It's okay, he used to be a coach of the track and field team, so he should be good for something. You just make do with him."
"That's the only way out." Claude sighed helplessly. "I shouldn't have had high hopes for Asian physical trainers."
...
Dai Li signed his name on the contract.
The Dingtian Soccer Club offered Dai Li an annual salary of RMB 300,000. Although it was not very high in the first-tier cities, Dai Li was quite satisfied with the amount.
Besides the annual salary, Dai Li would also get some additional income, such as the travel allowance for the team's away games. If the team won a game, Dai Li could get a bonus as a coach. If the team won the championship of China's Super League, or even the championship of the AFC Champions League, the club would also pay Dai Li a bonus.
"Coach Kim, Coach Liu, and Coach Li, please allow me to welcome you to join us on behalf of the club." Yunan Xiao smiled at the three of them.
Yunan Xiao's voice lingered in Dai Li's ears after he walked out of the meeting room.
This General Manager is really a beautiful girl! She's so young, she must be about the same age as me, Dai Li thought.
Dai Li had met Yunan Xiao during the Half Marathon held at Jinyan Lake, but that had been a long time ago, and Dai Li had forgotten much of what had occurred on that day.
Today, when Dai Li met Yunan Xiao again, he still found her very attractive.
However, Dai Li was quite sober and he didn't have any inappropriate ambitions on her. On Dai Li's way to the meeting, someone working in the club had mentioned Yunan Xiao. This pretty General Manager was the darling daughter of the Chairman of Dingtian Group, and could basically be considered the princess of Dingtian Group. This kind of rich girl who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth was out of Dai Li's reach, since he was just an ordinary person. Yunan Xiao and Dai Li were people from two different worlds.
...
"The three new physical trainers have signed their contracts, and will start work tomorrow. Do you have any plan in using them?" Harman said, picking up his coffee and taking a sip.
"That Chowtai Kim from South Korea was a soccer physical trainer before. I plan to let him participate in the formulation of next two weeks of training plans, so that I can check his level before giving him any concrete work. Haoxin Liu was brought up in Canada, so he should have no problem in verbal communication with the foreign players. I plan to arrange him to do the strength training. As for that table tennis coach…"
Claude's expression was quite troubled. "For now, I really don't know what he could do. He is a person from a different world!"
"My old friend, I have a suggestion for you." Harman put down his coffee mug, then said, "Several players on our team are not very self-disciplined. After months of rest, they have put on a lot of weight. Now the league is about to start, but they are still overweight."
"I got you! The table tennis coach could be instructed to help those players lose weight. It's really a good idea!" Claude heaved a long sigh of relief. "I think that table tennis coach should be qualified for such easy work."


How could a poor graduate student without any background or connections become successful? With a coaching system? An upgrade? This is not a computer game, but real life we’re talking about!
 
This will be a fantasy based on reality. Dai Li will fight back against all those who would mock and humiliate him with his astonishing and awe-inspiring training skills. From a nobody he’ll try to become the most illustrious coach in the sports world, so join him in proving to everyone who’s the real master here!

Ves could spend as little or as much as he wanted to acquire the necessary component licenses.

If he wanted to splurge, he could blow a billion credits on the sensor systems alone, yet such an improvement hardly affected his design. "It's not about adding further improvements to my design, but retaining the strengths it already enjoys."

Desperate designers with an acute lack of money sometimes licensed outdated components offered by the MTA. They utilized technology that had been developed at least sixty years ago to plug a hole in their designs.

If Ves tried to do the same, he risked condemnation. As a premium design, his phoenix knight had to maintain a minimum level of performance across the board. He couldn't justify the 60 million credits price tag if he played fast and loose with his design.

He proceeded to splurge his entire budget on a number of generic licenses. Some components cost a little more than others, but Ves spent just enough to stray away from bargain bin territory.

Besides acquiring licenses for minor components that only die-hard enthusiasts cared about like gyroscopes or inertial compensators, Ves also made some big ticket purchases that played a vital role in the performance of his mech.

The sensor system cost an easy 100 million credits to pick up its license. At that price, Ves obtained the right to use a serviceable set of sensors that had specifically been designed to compliment knight mechs. It prioritized close-range detection over long-range detection and could take a beating as well.

"It's not like my knight will ever be used for a scout. It's enough if it can detect a sneaking mech up close."

The second major transaction consisted of a set of supplementary alloy formulas for the sword, shield and internal frame. Each part demanded different degrees of hardness, ductility, density and sharpness. The alloys that came with the Veltrex armor system only covered the exterior of the mech, and should not be used in other areas. Ves spent a total of 250 million credits to obtain all of these licenses.

The last major license consisted of the right to apply the Bright Republic's Modular Fitting Standard to his design. The Modular Fitting Standard or MFS was a relatively recent invention that aimed to standardize the dimensions of modular attachments for mechs.

Basically, the MFS ensured that every mech that used the same standard could share the same type of backpacks or other compatible devices.

For example, an MFS allowed a mech pilot to attach a standard energy pack from the Republic without worrying about compatibility issues. If he happened to come across an abandoned Vesian pack in the field, then he would have no luck, as the Vesian standard used a different set of dimensions. The plugs wouldn't fit in the sockets.

Before the proliferation of MFS, different companies and individual mech designers all employed their format. This led to a maze of confusing choices along with plenty of kludges as mech technicians tried to mate different modular standards together in the field.

Nowadays, each state or major faction stuck to a single standard to ease their logistics. The Mech Corps no longer had to keep track of fifty separate fittings.

Along with many other miscellaneous components such as transceivers and processors, Ves finally obtained all the necessary ingredients to design a mech.

"One billion credits down the drain. I only have around 400 million left in disposable cash."

The LMC still earned a decent amount of money out of routine transactions, so Ves didn't worry about running out of cash. Ves already reserved 100 million credits for an upcoming ad campaign, and he expected to spend a bit more to supplement the development of his phoenix knight.

"I'll have to fabricate a prototype at the very least." He mused as he stroked Lucky's back. The cat had woken up from his nap and demanded his daily dose of petting. "I can recycle it down to its constituent materials once I'm done with my tests, but I'm better off if I donate it to the MTA."

If Ves wanted to submit a valid original design to the MTA, he had to demonstrate he actually did all the work. The reality of the mech industry was that mech designers often cheated in their work. The worst cases involved stealing someone else's work through hacking or applying pressure.

"It's best to bring in the MTA right from the start. I should send my development logs to their servers."

He took some time to setup a secure connection to the MTA. Once every day, his computer systems passed along his documents, his data sets and more. He even included camera recordings of himself working on the design. This should leave ironclad proof that he alone developed the phoenix knight.

That was very important. A mech designer's first original design should always be the culmination of his own efforts. While he'd be allowed to employ assistants or specialists who worked on the components, the overall design of the mech must always be the reflection of a designer's skill.

Otherwise, any designer could ask a senior to 'help' him along. How could anyone be proud of their first original design if the senior did ninety percent of the work?

After establishing a connection, Ves was ready to move on to the next phase of his project. "It's time to mold my draft into an actual design."

This would be the most important phase of his design project. Ves couldn't afford any missteps at this point.

To turn his draft into a design, he had to incorporate the newly acquired components and fill out all of the missing gaps in the schematic. He expected to face a lot of bumps in trying to make something work the way he wanted to. Ves had to be inventive in order to make all of its goodies fit inside a single frame.

"At least it won't be as bad as the Caesar Augustus. Trying to fit multiple weapon systems in a single frame is a lot harder than trying to design a simple knight."

Ves faced two particular challenges in designing an offensive knight. First, he had to maintain a careful balance between mobility and protection. While he wanted to have the best of both, sometimes he could only prioritize one over the other. Ves had to make sure he didn't overshoot his priorities and put their balance out of whack.

His second priority lay in ensuring an adequate level of redundancy and compartmentalization in his mech's internal architecture. The downside to trimming the waist of his design was that it cut back on a lot of space that could have been used to toughen up his mech's internals.

He pondered over the issue. "The Keltrex armor system should be able to prevent a lot of breaches. It's not a disaster if my RF and CF ratios are merely average. A good mech pilot should be able to pull back before an enemy can exploit the holes in his mech."

Unless it was a matter of life and death, mech pilots always retreated before their mechs sustained too many battle damage. It took only a few stray shots to completely ruin a mech's internals. The benefits of staying in the field didn't outweigh the risks of death or totalling an expensive machine.

Before he embarked on his work, Ves wanted to take of any upcoming matters. He worked best if he could devote his entire concentration on his design.

"Ves!" Carlos called as he stepped inside his office. "You've got another pair of visitors from your family."

"Bring them to the lounge. I've been expecting them for a while."

After brushing up his clothes, Ves met with the retainers the Larkinsons had groomed on Rittersberg.

At first glance, the newcomers still retained the air of an elite from Rittersberg. The man looked like a typical bureaucrat, with his neatly groomed grey hair and impeccable suit. The woman looked younger, but still mature enough to occupy a senior position in a company. Both looked like they mean business.

"Ves, it's good to see you. My name is Jake Altern and this is Primrose Mackarie. We've been working on behalf of the Larkinson Estate for over a hundred years combined. I think you will find we can add a lot of value to the Living Mech Corporation if you let us take part in your venture."

Ves shook both of their hands. "I've already inspected your resumes, and I'm fairly satisfied with your qualifications. However, both of you have mainly worked in the retail sector. You will find that managing a mech business is a whole other beast than running a department store."

"We are aware of this shortcoming, but the Larkinsons have extensive connections to the mech industry."

Jake and Primrose had made an effort to immerse themselves into the world of mechs by reading up a lot of industry-specific textbooks. They also exchanged knowledge with various industry insiders. Together with their existing business acumen, the two should be amply prepared to take the helm of any medium-sized mech manufacturer.

"I'm glad to hear you've made the extra mile. The LMC is still in its infancy at this point, but I expect a lot of growth in the future once I publish my first original design. I'm going to need a competent COO and CFO to support my company's rise."

Without any further hesitation, Ves appointed Jake as the COO and Primrose as the CFO.

The chief operating officer often acted as the number two within the corporation. In the case of a mech manufacturer, the founder and principal mech designer usually occupied the title of CEO while the COO performed the actual day-to-day management of his company.

Since Jake occupied various leadership positions for the businesses under the Larkinsons, Ves could think of no other suitable position for him to adopt. His age and experience should provide a steady hand at the top.

The chief financial officer took care of the finances and bookkeeping of the company. The CFO led the financial department of a company, which managed the its accounts and made sure that no one secretly siphoned any money away. They also kept track of any transactions and made sure that their ledgers complied with the law.

While Primrose's resume did not look as impressive as Jake's, her knowledge in the field of accounting surpassed anyone else in the entire company by far. Ves had always intended to hire on an accountant to straighten up his increasingly burdensome transactions.

"The amount of money flying around will easily surpass a billion credits every year, spread over thousands of individual transactions. Right now, I don't have a lot of contingencies if something goes wrong. I hope you can help me with that, Miss Primrose."

"Just call me Primrose." She smiled at him. "I've already taken a peek at your records. It's a bit crude, but not as messy as I've thought. There are a number of entries that your automated management suite has been producing a lot of errors."

With his permission, Primrose brought up his asset listings and pointed out the nonsensical credit values attached to some of his licenses and his equipment. The accounting software mainly failed to estimate the proper values of things Ves had acquired by exchanging merits or DP.

"Oh, yeah, I haven't really thought of that." Ves awkwardly grinned. "The value of some of these things is very substantial but have a complicated background."

For example, Ves had no clue how to estimate the credit value of his reconstructed Dortmund printer. It should be worth several billions of credits, but it wasn't exactly market standard.

Fortunately, his newly hired CFO didn't mind the oversight. "I can take up this task. It's imperative your company can deliver a proper accounting to the Republic's tax office if asked. They may even confiscate your assets if you've been negligent in this area."

That sounded very scary to Ves, so he eagerly handed off all responsibilities of this nature to Primrose.

Besides discussing accounting, Ves also laid out his future plans to Jake. "I'd like you to take care of three things. First, I want you to setup an administrative department for the LMC. You don't have to hire a lot of people, just make sure you hire enough to take care of all of the routine stuff that needs done."

"Consider it done."

"Next, I want you to help lay down the groundwork for the debut of my first original design. I don't think I need to explain how important its success affects my company and my career. My biggest priority is to secure a fixed supplier to supply the most critical exotics for my design. I'll send you the list."

"That will be difficult to accomplish." Jake admitted. "A fixed supply contract is mostly established through existing connections or referrals and needs to be maintained through trust and communication. I think it's best I hire a specialist that can facilitate a connection with a specific supplier."

"Just get it done." Ves didn't care about the specific method. "My third demand is to get a handle on the political situation of Cloudy Curtain. My business is hovering on uncertainty right now because the ruling coalition has a beef with me. I've got a part-time law student filling me in on the situation, but I don't have the time to manage my relations with the scumbags in power."

"It's best to start up a relations department that can maintain ties with the local stakeholders of your company."

"Sounds good."

They had a fruitful talk about his intentions for the company. By the time the day came at an end, his new executives should have a good idea on how to perform their jobs. Ves would keep an eye on them, of course, but he didn't expect any missteps on account of their experience.

Humanity has conquered half the galaxy and the Age of Mechs reigns supreme!

Ves Larkinson lacked the genetic aptitude to become a famed mech pilot. Fighting against his fate, he studied mech design in order to express his love for mechs as a builder instead of a soldier.

When Ves graduated from college, he returned to a new but empty boutique. Left with a small, newly founded mech workshop that his father painstakingly built with a mountain of debt, Ves somehow needs to make ends meet with the bank breathing down his neck.

In the midst of his despair, he found salvation from another legacy his father had left.

"Welcome to the Mech Designer System. Please design your new mech."

Hello everyone! Your friendly internet Author-san here! If you're reading this then I would like to thank you for successfully making it to the end of Volume 1. This is my very first finished volume in a web novel format so… Yay~ me!
 
I would like to thank the people who've helped me develop the story and those who pointed out the errors I've made while doing this. Writing has been a fun, stressful, enlightening and other myriad of emotional experiences that I'm forgetting to mention.
 
I also would like to apologize for the late releases at times. I sometimes forget to check if the chapters I've set for autorelease do come out. There was this one time that I needed to remake a chapter because it poofed when I clearly set it to be posted.
 
Of course, I would like to give special thanks to the patrons who've reached out to me and went an extra mile. Hopefully, one day, I can just devote myself to writing interesting stories. Thanks again!
 
Now then, to the Q/A portion.
 
I apologize for the questions that won't be included here by the time I post this. I want to be able to focus on creating Volume 2 so please do forgive me if I miss your concern. You can always try to ask them on Volume 2 if it doesn't get answered by then!
 
Please be reminded that I would have to refrain from answering anything that would have anything to do with spoilers but I will try my bestest!

Thot Slayer: Is this Inspired by revenge Isekai like NidoYuu or Arifu?
 
A: No, It's much older than that. A manga from Square Enix called Ubel Blatt got me hooked into the whole mystery revenge reincarnation genre and I added Isekai into the mix. 
 
-
 
NineDeaths: Is he really an adult? (mentally speaking)
 
A: Not by my standards. You can probably already tell if you've made it this far. But he's like a manchild.
 
-
 
TheeUnkownSaint: So She's an evil girl? (Tomoyo)
 
A: No. She's a robot girl.
 
-
 
Ahjin: Is the robot girl the picture on your *******.
 
A: if you mean the current banner then as of the time I'm answering this then it would indeed be one of the concept art for Tomoyo.

iamyoungMasterL: Did the mc become a woman hater now?
 
A: Somewhat
 
-
 
Bloo: When's he going to the other world!?!?
 
A: When it's time for him to get summoned.
 
-
 
TheeUnkownSaint: How big sis will react when she finds out the truth?
 
A: Please refer to Volume 1: Chapter 50
 
-
 
RabidHobo: Really, adult is censored?
 
A: It would appear so in the comments section. I had no idea until I saw this though.
 
-
 
RabidHobo: In what world does a medical professional and a parent listen to a 6 year old on whether he should go to a hospital or not?
 
A: Asia. Besides, Kyouko is a doting mother who is afraid of Kazuya hating her especially since he became an amnesiac who had no memories of her. As for the doctor, Kazuya already explained what he was up to (making gifts for them on a time limit whilst keeping up his current training regimen). He would have taken him to the hospital regardless of what he said if he found the need to treat him at a hospital. Home visits, home clinics are kind of a common thing here.
 
-
 
Twies: How do I join the novel's discord channel? What is there?
 
A: Download or get on discord and put this link on your browser [https://discord.gg/syUu3b3]
People usually talk to me there and I put the artwork concepts or character designs there. People can also report typos or errors there and can reach me there the fastest.

-

GPIG: What is *******? How to use?

A: ******* is a site that lets you become a [Patron] to content creators and the like. It is not something that is required but if you do want to help out any creators out there to reach milestones or help them with what they need to bring you more content or simply just let them drop whatever life they had so they can concentrate more to creating their content.

Anone: I really don't understand what's going on. You wrote the main character at first as a good person who got betrayed, but then what's with his illogical maltreatment of the kurumu girl. He suspected they had history, but instead of knowing what was really going on he judged her and hurt her based on his stupid instinct. She's a five year old girl, and he should at lest by twenty even if he's in a kid's body. It make's him no different from the people who betrayed him, and to be honest it's pissing me off. I hope you can reply and give some sort of explanation at least. His manner of acting was completely illogical. Yet you're making the girl chase after him like some sort of lost puppy
 
A: First, a short recap. Kazuya was betrayed and stuck inside the replay. He returned to a blank part of his life and met Kurumi a short time after he got back. He of course hasn't even come to terms with his predicament and was still held up over the betrayal he experienced and witnessed multiple times. Being betrayed like that, how could it be easy to simply trust another person you barely even know. His memory dictates that she has been acting suspiciously around him but because of the effects of his recent "betrayal" he did not consider her intentions to be as noble as it would seem. Not to mention the way she made him suffer in his previous life. He merely didn't want Kurumi to bring troubles towards his way again because he already has so much on his plate. Hence, his cold treatment of her. Unlike his expectations, Kurumi still intends to connect with him. Take note, they only met that one time ever since he came back and they still haven't met again. It was only after a little while that he started to accept and gained interest in this new life of his. This was why he accepted the robot girl rather than his initial rejection of her. The "instinct" part in the earlier chapters was just an excuse so that he didn't have to explain anything about why he didn't want to be friends with her.

InfiniteSuns: i understand one thing mana makes you more powerful, but what the **** is with reaction of others 6 years old kid with a touch can break somebody else bones etc. and they're oh what a genius what a ruthless boy
 
A: Because Jirou is already aware that Kazuya can use mana (internal energy to him) which was why he wasn't really that surprised.

LemonAid: So Mei is a shotacon?
 
A: Is she?
-
 
Jbravs25: How many bonus chapters would it be if you rank on top 20?

A: That's a tough question. But I would probably try to change it to daily releases if I do go that far and kept it up weekly. 
 
-
 
Grimmypoo: Are there going to be any time skips in the next 50 chapters?
 
A: Yes 
-
 
iGoo: Are you going to post your other stories in the site too?
 
A: If I ever get my lazy butt to read and edit them for this format then just maybe.
 
-

Agit0: May I ask where can I find your other stories? Or what website I can read them?

A: I'd like to keep the ones still existing to myself since I do cringe at the amount of typos when I  found them in one of my hard drives.

-

SorrowGrave: Why do the reviews have to be so long?

A: I actually prefer a lil bit more info but that question is best left to the webnovel staff.

-
 
Plsd: Did you enjoy TI8? Who were you rooting for?
 
A: I was rooting for EG vs OG giving us a dramatic finals but EG got dropped in the semis.
 
-
 
ZiniGansta: You write English well. Are you from the west? What do you do?
 
A: No, I'm Asian who is a freeter.
 
-
 
Purrfection: Why is the novel's rank so low when it has such quality.
 
A: I don't know how to give a clear answer on that. If I had to say, it would be because I don't have a clickbait title nor does web novel separate real original novels from fanfictions.

-

NocturnalPulse: Tell me, Do you bleed?

A: I see what you did there… but this is the Q/A section so I'll answer anyway! Yes I do bleed, I'm actually bleeding chapters right now.

Ajhin: Are you going to sign with webnovel if they offer you a contract?
 
A: I doubt that I will be offered a contract. If you ask me, I would prefer to keep everything free and if ******* can be enough then I would. Who knows? I'll consider this if ever it comes.
 
 -

CloudRoeven: I can't be a patron. What else can I do to help?

A: Like I said, don't be intimidated by the ******* link. It's just optional and for those who can afford to give a helping hand. You can simply help by giving the novel as much power stones you can spare. As I rank up, I get more exposure and as I get more exposure, I may attract those who can afford to be patrons.

Helloion: It's Official. Author's name is now Rurucliffer

They had never had any experience with the special competition format, so for Lou Cheng and the rest, although they knew what it was about, they were taken by surprise. The information only sank in after a good ten seconds. Then, one after another, they said, 
"Special competition format?" 
"What formation does the Azure Dragon Squad have?" 
"Aren't they made up of different martial arts club?" 
"Why didn't they send in the application when they were fighting the Fearless Squad?" 
While facing the non-stop questions from his students, Geezer Shi just replied softly and lightly, 
"Based on what I heard from the committee, the Azure Dragon Squad doesn't have any formation." 
"What? No formation, then why did they apply for the special competition format?" Guo Qing asked. 
Geezer Shi laughed softly and said, 
"Probably trying to bully us? Especially since our substitutes are weak." 
He would never say that what the rival was most concerned was that the two leading players were too strong. They were afraid of Lou Cheng's monster-like physical stamina. 
Uh... Li Mao and the rest fell silent. They somewhat understood what the Azure Dragon Squad was planning to do. 
They were shocked by Lou Cheng's Tremor Punch and physical stamina. They probably considered that they would have no chance of winning if they fight in the normal competition format. Hence, they thought about using the special competition format. Their strategy was to use the two Professional Ninth Pin fighters to keep Lou Cheng and Lin Que busy. The rest would then take the rest of the team one-to-one. 
Such scheme! 
Sun Jian frowned and said, "Isn't this an insult? Even if they're of Professional Ninth Pin, they only have a pair of hands and legs. Why would they have the confidence to beat us four amateur fighters!" 
If each of them throws a punch together, any Professional Ninth Pin fighter would get busy! 
Heard of the saying that an army of ants could kill an elephant with their bites? 
Although Sun Jian was the leading player on paper, he had put himself to the line of the substitutes. No one felt that it was any wrong. From what they see, the true leading players of the club were Lou Cheng and Lin Que. 
"You think they're just woody targets? They would stay there and let you hit them?" Geezer Shi laughed. 
Out of habit, Yan Zheke raised her hands and said, 
"But the Challenge Tournament is not the same as actual battles. There're boundaries. If they want to use the physical abilities to make it a one-to-one or one-to-two fight, that would be difficult right..." 
Once she saw a professional fighter being chased by seven or eight amateur fighters. Although it seemed like the professional fighter was running crazily, he was always looking out for any threats. The mob behind considered that they had more people, and they refused to give up. As time passed and dragged by, because of insufficient physical stamina and speed, they had to split into a few groups until the distance between them were too far for anyone to overcome. 
Once that happened, the Professional Ninth Pin fighter started his retaliation. He suddenly stopped in his tracks and pounced backwards. Before the second team rushed forward to support the first team, he used his utmost force to fight against the first batch. He killed one and beat another one till the one was paralyzed. The process repeated itself. After that, none of the hatchet men dared to go too close to him. They kept a good distance. However, with this situation, they could not help but wait for the slowest team. With this, the gap between them and the Professional Ninth Pin fighter just grew. 
This was how Professional Ninth Pin fighters would fight when they were outnumbered. To replicate this strategy in a ring competition was impossible to imagine! 
What Yan Zheke asked was exactly what Lou Cheng was thinking about. Although he could be considered to have the ability of a Professional Ninth Pin, if he really met with three or more stronger amateur fighters, without the secret skill to control the situation, he could only choose to fight and run at the same time. He had to use his superior physical strength to continuously create opportunities to fight back. In the ring, just ten steps or more, he would already be at its edges. 
Geezer Shi chuckled and said, "We can analyze the situation in a general manner. Firstly, some martial arts skills are more effective than others for situations where you're outnumbered. For example, the Golden Bell Cover and the Lion Roar. Secondly, when you get out there, it's not only one specific battle area, you could totally utilize the space where the other two battles are happening. This would help you create distance." 
"When Lin Que and Lou Cheng are fighting with the Professional Ninth Pin fighters, wouldn't you be more cautious when you approach them? Wouldn't you be worried that you would be hurt by any second waves? The opposition is a Professional Ninth Pin fighter, such worries won't bother them that much. Once there is some gap, they'll snatch the opportunity amidst the mess to fight. If you all are a tad bit slower in the chase, he'll ample time and ability to surround and attack Lou Cheng or Lin Que..." 
"So, even though they may not be in an advantageous position, at least they have a shot at victory." 
After listening to his coach's explanation, Lou Cheng and the team was enlightened about the strategy of the Azure Dragon Squad. It was clear that they were not putting in this request out of the blue. In fact, they were thinking about the possibility of averaging out abilities so that they could have a chance to win! 
Being clear was one thing, Li Mao and Lin Hua were still a little unhappy. They felt slighted. Even the usually good-tempered Yan Zheke started to pout. 
"I wonder if I would be able to somewhat accomplish the Frost Force by Sunday..." Lou Cheng looked over at his girlfriend and thought to himself. 
It was not a mission impossible. As long as he memorized the visualization of the Frozen Ground Diagram and how his body changes, the remaining two days, he could spend them all training for the Frozen River Diagram. 
While the thoughts in his mind churned, he could not help but look at Lin Que. He wanted to know how brother-in-law was doing after recovery. 
In comparison to the past, the qi and blood of Lin Que had significantly weakened. In the midst of his calmness, he exuded the aura of "silence." Obviously, he had already reached the threshold of the Dan stage, but it was difficult to estimate just how far he had gone. 
At this moment, Geezer Shi clapped and said, 
"The ones participating in the Ranking Event do a rehabilitation training, and the rest of you, the common training. We can discuss the matters of the Azure Dragon Squad later. I've emailed all of you the information." 
"Don't go and watch any videos related to special competition format. It's no use! Search for how amateurs surround and fight Professional Ninth Pin fighters. Best to look for those who used obstacles to help them with the fight. Gather some past experiences!" 
... 
This morning, after Lou Cheng completed the usual daily training routine, he put aside more time to train his mind so that he could master the visualization and the changes in his body. He felt that he had made good progress. 
After a busy day filled with sweetness, he returned to his room and washed up. He turned on his computer and logged into QQ. Lou Cheng sent a message to Yan Zheke: "Ke, Little Ke, are you done with the materials?" 
As the days passed, their feelings for each other deepened. They grew closer and the terms of endearment for Yan Zheke just naturally increased. He just called her as he pleased, but more often or not, he would fall back to the first term of endearment that he gave her, "Coach Yan". It meant something special to him. 
As for the materials of the Azure Dragon Squad, he finished watching them during the unimportant class in the afternoon. Yan Zheke had a professional class during the same period. She had to pay attention, so she could only watch the material as and when she had some time. 
She responded with a cat emoji. The cat was throwing out a piece of salted fish. 
"Call me Coach Yan!" 
"Yes, yes, yes. Has Coach Yan completed the materials?" Lou Cheng sent an emoji with a sneaky smile. 
Yan Zheke only had two short lessons in the night. She returned to the room with Zong Yanru at 8 p.m., and had been looking through the materials since. Unlike normal days, she did not revise her work. Instead, she took a short walk and waited for Lou Cheng to end his class. 
This was enough to show how important the weekend match was for her. No matter how they arranged the order, she would be able to participate. 
"Yes, I'm done..." Yan Zheke sent a blur looking emoji. "It was like what Coach Shi had said. Mo Zicong is a disciple from the prestigious Daxing Temple. He had inherited a skill similar to the Lion Roar. Zhu Tao had practiced the Iron Canvas Shirt since young, so his martial arts skills were rather famous in Songcheng." 
They were all of Professional Ninth Pin who were experts in fighting mobs! 
"No need to worry. Your brother and I will separately hold on and pull Mo Zicong and Zhu Tao. The competition will not go as well as they wish!" Lou Cheng sent an emoji scratching its head. 
Among the four fighters of the Azure Dragon Squad, Mo Zicong was the strongest. He was not only blessed with great strength, he also trained for the Throwing Elephant Skill. Without the Thunder Roar Zen, he probably could only take four to six blows. 
The other three, Zhu Tao with the Iron Canvas Shirt skill, his hits were direct and difficult to deal with. Deng Hua's "Thunderous Tsunami Iron Fist" was famous. As for Xu Zheng, he was weaker in comparison, but he had a rather solid foundation of the Bagua Fist. 
Yan Zheke sent a bright-eyed emoji. 
"Hng, when did I worry? I've already gathered some tips!" 
Lou Cheng sent back an evil smile. "Then, please give me some advice, Coach Yan!" 
"Beg me, just beg me and I'll tell you!" Yan Zheke sent a sniggering emoji. 
No one would care that much when they're a couple. Lou Cheng immediately returned with an emoji throwing itself down at its feet in admiration. 
Yan Zheke sent an emoji with arms crossed and hand on the chin. 
"First, always keep a distance with each other. Second, never attack at the same time. Best if you have a second in between. This will prevent the rival from using Swing Force and any other skills. Third, be patient. As long as you and my cousin have enough time, you'd be able to beat your rivals. They're the ones who should be worried..." 
While he read the message, he praised Coach Yan. He completed the details for her while they discussed and analyzed the information. 
At this time, in his fan forum, the number of posts increased. One was from "Lush Gives Birth to Light". 
"Sunday afternoon, 3:30 p.m., Songcheng TV station will do a live broadcast of the advancement round of the third team. Songcheng University Martial Arts Club vs Azure Dragon Squad! Special competition format!" 
Within Songcheng University's forum, the administrator posted an announcement on each microsite. 
"Sunday afternoon, 3:30 p.m. Host, Martial Arts Club will fight the Azure Dragon Squad. Crucial fight for advancement!" 
This time, both the tv station and school's Propaganda Department had started their publicity! 
... 
In a blink of an eye, in the midst of the expectations of Yan Xiaoling and other, it was Sunday afternoon. 
In the office of the Shanbei University Martial Arts Club that was a couple hundreds of miles away, Xu Wannian entered the office and saw his Junior Brother Peng, leisurely surfing the internet. 
"Junior Brother Peng, you didn't go out to have fun?" He asked in surprise. 
Peng Leyun smiled and said, "Watching one round of the preliminaries." 
"What's there to watch? We're going to the nationals next week, at Huahai." Xu Wannian could not comprehend the actions of his Junior Brother. 
At this critical moment, as the pillar of the martial arts club, why is Junior Brother Peng watching the preliminaries so leisurely? 
Peng Leyun chuckled and said, 
"This could be one of our hard battles next year..." 
That scent of the "starry skies," he could not forget. Since then, he always paid attention to any related matches. 
As his thoughts swirled around, he sank into the deep abyss of his thoughts, like his usual self. 


Here martial arts are no longer intangible legends. They have been passed on from generation to generation and from century to century. After the confrontation with science and technology, they have completely integrated into modern society and all kinds of martial arts competitions are taking place across the country as superiority among scholars are hard to reach a consensus but not as difficult among martial artists!
Lou Cheng has inherited the lost skills of the greatest martial arts sect. Towards his original dream and the glory in his heart, he advances step by step, becoming the warrior of this modern city and the hero of the era!

Monday 24 November

11:35am

In a small office left vacant for exceptional one-on-one interviews, Adam has already seen 5 agents who did not satisfy him. During this exercise, which is a first for him, he has just realized that his recruitment requirements may be a little too high. First of all, he wants a woman. The woman must be pretty enough, but if he doesn't like her voice, her physique may be perfect, he will immediately refuse and refrain from saying, as he did at the Paris: Next.

Then, he will refuse anyone with less than 2 years of experience. According to him, the way of speaking is also very important. Those who speak too slowly annoy him. As for those who express themselves too quickly, these people have a natural gift for stress him. Adam, since the beginning of these interviews has found a multitude of reasons to refuse every agent who came to him. According to him, all were riddled with defects that made them unable to stand by his side. Not that they were not qualified, however, working in pairs would have been impossible because itwould not have been beneficial to either party.

Adam, deeply in his thoughts, does not see the next person enter who, after greeting him several times, reaches out her hand to him. A little annoyed by the lack of reaction of the young man who currently must be everywhere except in this room, the person claps twice in her hands, but nothing. Having nothing better to do today anyway, she sits in the chair in front of him, crosses her legs and waits for him to come down to earth so she can start her interview.

Adam is currently thinking about his mother. If he is angry that she is getting married again, he is even more angry that he is not invited to his wedding and has decided to teach her a lesson by going there if possible with the person he hates the most. Imagining her head, the smile comes back on his face and satisfied, he comes out of his dreams, but he almost falls out of his chair when he sees an intruder who has snuck in here without him noticing. 

"Hello, how long have you been waiting?"

The young woman he is facing shakes her head but in opposition to her gesture, she shows him the table, on which are lined up 3 plastic coffee cups with a certain look of fatigue in the eyes. Adam, knowing himself well enough, knows that sometimes he can be a little in the moon. After a charming smile that he thinks he can improve the situation, he takes the sheet that must be her curriculum vitae in front of him.

"Are you always like this?"

A little surprised by this question that comes out of nowhere, Adam raises his head and observes the young woman who must be 25 years old. This time, he pays more attention to it. Beautiful brunette, with green eyes who currently has a very cute disapproving pout on her face.

"I beg your pardon? What do you mean by (like that)?"

The young woman now knows that the rumours are true, this kid is certainly very handsome, but his mental alertness leaves something to be desired. "It's time to ask for forgiveness. I meant: When you're at fault, you don't even bother to apologize, but you think one of your charming smiles will make it better? Not all women will fall at your feet, young man, don't think too much of yourself."

Adam wonders if he really deserves that in recent days, slaps fall on him at this sustained rate. However, 3 coffees. He won't deny that she has some reason to be angry. His patience deserves to be commended, he would be left after the first. Admitting his fault, Adam nods at the young woman who is waiting for an apology.

"It's true I made you wait a little while, but it's impressive that you stayed so long."

He doesn't understand. He just gave a compliment, but she clenched her fists, frowned and her jaw tightened. Why is she angry this time? No matter how much he thinks about it over and over again, he finds no reason to be angry. Or maybe this young lady just has a bad temper? Validating this hypothesis, he smiles cheerfully, annoying even more the person facing him and wondering if this kid might not be making fun of her.

"You still haven't apologized and it's not that I'm especially patient, but imagine that I really need this job, hence the reason for my long wait, believe me that if this was not the case, I would have slammed the door with the hope of waking you up."

"What's your name again?"

"It's on my resume."

Adam, who had forgotten the paper in his hands, smiled again and reads it roughly. Scarlet therefore, she has only worked for barely 2 years, but in addition to her diploma which allows her to work here, she studied law in England for 2 years. Adam looks up, yes, she has an intelligent look, no doubt. The young woman is enraged by the attitude of this kid whom she can not judge. [He won't apologize to me, this bad kid.] 

"It's a nice resume, I like it very much. What site did you find the model on?"

Bewildered by this question, which has nothing to do with her job interview, Scarlet hesitates. She opens her mouth, closes it, a Hum comes out, but no more. Troubled by a very smiling Adam who not realizes that his question is irrelevant, she calmed down and decided to redirect the discussion.

"I don't know anymore. I'm sorry, Mr. Clifford, but I'd like you to tell me if I have a chance or not. If I don't have any, I'll leave immediately."

Adam is a little confused. Looking again and again at the resume with an expression expressing a certain doubt. Scarlet can see that he seems dissatisfied with something and very saddened to have failed, she is already picking up her briefcase and getting ready to leave when: "What a pity, I really wish I had known on which site you had found this model of resume. Oh, yes, it's you I want."

[He's kidding me? Don't tell me his troubled attitude came from the origin of the model of this resume?] "Really, I mean it's true?"

Adam nods his head satisfied that he has found someone who meets his criteria. It is true that the character of this young woman could be better, however, apart from that, it is a no-fault.

"Yes, you have a very beautiful face, long sexy legs, beautiful eyes, a very pleasant voice, almost 2 years of experience and even if your bad temper takes away 1 point, you win from far away. Nevertheless, I want to be very honest with you. I don't trust you easily, so if I'm sometimes cold with you sometimes, don't take it for yourself."

[I won 90% because of my physique, but, I really need this job and I would rather work with Adam, one of the only models of the agency known for its loyalty to women that with a youg than man who will trying to throw me into bed at the slightest opportunity.] "Understood, when do I start?"
