“Hmph. Take me to Yeringham immediately!”
“So soon?”
Shane was shocked. It had only been three days. Shouldn’t she stay until the seventh day after her sister and
grandmother’s funeral before leaving?
“Just do as I say. I don’t want to stay in this dump anymore! Not even for a day!”
Marilyn said forcefully.

In these three days, her ex-boyfriend had been bothering her every day. She was no longer interested in the men in
this small town. They would never achieve anything in their lives!
So, she wanted to leave the town quickly and start a new life in the big city.
“Alright then.”
Shane, being the kind of person who couldn’t refuse women, reluctantly took her to Yeringham.
After a few hours of driving, they arrived in Yeringham, and he rented a small house for Marilyn.
But Marilyn absolutely refused to live with him. Although he was the one who paid for the rent, she forcefully kicked
him out!
Shane was filled with anger but had no place to vent. After all, she was his sister-in-law. Taking care of her was his

Shane wanted to rent another house, but when he checked his pockets, he realized he had no more money!
He thought about asking Emmanuel for money, but he felt that it would be too shameful.
“Forget it; I’ll find a way to make money myself!”
Shane stayed up all night at an internet cafe, creating his resume and applying to over a dozen companies. The
next day, he started running around Yeringham, attending interviews.
But after attending several interviews, he was rejected in the first round by all of them!
Never mind if they said he didn’t have the required certification or that he wasn’t tall enough. One of the
companies even complained he didn’t have good looks!
What kind of standards and criteria was that?
How was he not good-looking? He could totally be mistaken for Tom Cruise or Daniel Craig.
Besides, he wasn’t here to compete for the title of Mr. Yeringham. Why did he need height and good looks?
Shane was utterly disappointed with Yeringham’s job market!
The next morning, he arrived at a company called M&L Group, applying for an administrative officer position.

Putting it nicely, it was an officer position, but putting it bluntly, it was just running errands for the company. It didn’t
require any education or good looks.
Shane thought if he couldn’t even get this job, he might as well take his sister-in-law back to the countryside to raise
pigs and shovel manure!
Ding dong.
The elevator stopped on the sixth floor. Shane held his resume and observed the company environment, just like a
country bumpkin entering the city for the first time.
Surprisingly, it wasn’t bad at all!
Running errands in a place like this was much better than raising pigs and shoveling manure in the countryside!
Thud!
Because he wasn’t looking where he was going, Shane accidentally bumped into a man in his thirties, and his
resume flew out of his hand.
“Oh, I’m sorry!”
The man was dressed in a sharp suit and had an air of elegance.
Because he was walking and talking on the phone, plus Shane was too short, he didn’t see him.
“Ah, my resume!”
Shane’s resume was blown away by the wind and flew out of the corridor’s window.
“Wow, your resume can even fly!”
The man laughed and teased as if the resume had a mind of its own, not flying anywhere except outward!
Shane couldn’t take it anymore and pointed at him, scolding, “Don’t you watch where you’re walking? Do you know
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthat you’ve just bumped away my future?”
“Haha, young man! If your future flies away with just a bump, then it must be quite fragile!”
The man laughed, patted Shane on the shoulder, and walked into the elevator.
Shane exploded with anger right then and there!
It seemed that this time, it was destined for him to go back to the countryside to raise pigs and shovel
manure.
At this moment, a gorgeous receptionist in professional attire walked over and asked, “Excuse me, are you here for
an interview?”
Shane took a look and found that this professional-looking office lady was really attractive!
So, he couldn’t bear to leave like this and could only grit his teeth and say, “Yes, my name is Shane, and I’m here
for an interview!”
“Then please follow me.”
The receptionist lady led him to a spacious and bright office.
Inside, a middle-aged man was sitting there.
Shane took a seat, and the middle-aged man said, “I am the manager of the Human Resources Department. You
can call me Mr. Cross. Where is your resume?”
“I… I don’t have a resume!”
Shane tensed up as soon as he heard that.
Sure enough, Mr. Cross frowned. “You come for an interview without a resume? I’ve been an interviewer for so
many years, and I’ve never seen someone as bizarre as you!”
