"Hello, William Bolton." The mature and charming assistant also extended her fair jade hand to William Bolton.

The eyes of the people nearby were all fixed in a daze.

William Bolton frowned and lightly shook hands with the two people in front of him, then asked in a puzzled tone, "Why are you looking for me?"

John Harris didn't answer, but instead beckoned to the assistant. Emily Brooks immediately pulled a document from the stack in her arms and handed it to John Harris.

John Harris smiled as he looked at Mr. Thompson, who was craning his neck to peek from behind, and said, "This must be the teacher here, right? May I borrow your office for a moment?"

"Go ahead." Mr. Thompson nodded. Up to this point, he was just as confused as everyone else, having no idea what these two people were here for.

"William Bolton, please come with me." John Harris wore a professional smile as he led William Bolton into the office. The assistant, Emily Brooks, politely brought over two chairs, placing one next to William Bolton.

"What is this all about?" William Bolton asked.

John Harris sat down, spread out the papers in his hand, then took a pen from his pocket and handed it to William Bolton, saying, "This is an employment agreement. Please sign it, William Bolton. Once you sign, you will officially become an employee of the Fang Group."

The students who had been watching from the side instantly froze, stunned by the bombshell John Harris had just dropped.

An employment agreement! That's something so many people dream of, and it's from the Fang Group! Even though it's just a piece of paper, it's a ticket to wealth, status, and prestige!

What was even more shocking was that John Harris said it was for a formal position, not just a probationary one! The difference between the two is like night and day.

Everyone's expression toward William Bolton changed. Samuel Turner's eyes widened, his eyelids twitching as he stared intently at the employment agreement.

Everyone was now thinking the same thing: Is this... a dream?

A senior student with nothing to his name, no outstanding achievements, and no experience, was actually noticed by the famous Fang Group, and they even chased him down to the office with an employment agreement.

This was unbelievable! Simply too hard to believe.

John Harris just smiled at William Bolton, believing that anyone with even a bit of common sense would never refuse the olive branch extended by Fang Group, because the benefits were enough to tempt anyone.

But in the next moment, John Harris's smile froze on his face.

"Why should I sign it?" William Bolton asked calmly, his expression pure and innocent.

John Harris's hand holding the pen trembled slightly, and the assistant Emily Brooks's glasses slipped down her nose. The mature, voluptuous beauty quietly pushed them back up with her jade hand.

Why? Is there even a need to ask? Signing it means becoming a member of Fang Group—what more reason do you need?

John Harris felt that the student in front of him didn't seem to understand what was happening, so he put down the pen and explained with a smile, "It's like this, William Bolton. Our company is a very well-known enterprise in the country. Fang Group is among the Global Fortune 500, a multinational..."

"I know all that," William Bolton interrupted John Harris.

He knows? If he knows, why hasn't he signed yet? Unless his head's been slammed in a door, he should have already signed his name by now, right?

Grace Foster also looked at William Bolton with some surprise, but as she watched, she suddenly smiled.

"What I want to ask is, why did you choose me?"

"Are you crazy?" Samuel Turner shouted from the side. "This is an employment agreement from Fang Group! Hurry up and sign it!"

Chapter 012: What Kind of Recruitment Is This

"If you think it's a good fit, you sign it," William Bolton glanced at Samuel Turner.

"I wish I could," Samuel Turner muttered quietly, "but unfortunately, they're not looking for me."

"William Bolton, what do you think?" The confident smile on John Harris's face had long since disappeared, replaced by a trace of unease. Although he didn't understand why the higher-ups suddenly wanted him to get this young student to sign the agreement, John Harris knew that if he couldn't handle this simple task, he might lose his job.

"I can't accept a reward without merit. I don't recall having any connection with Fang Group, so as for your offer... I must decline." William Bolton said with a smile.

Almost everyone's faces twitched. Silence fell; the office was so quiet that only the heavy breathing of a few students could be heard.

"What did he just say?" Samuel Turner turned his head with difficulty, almost mechanically, and asked David Parker.

"He said he refused," David Parker replied, equally dumbfounded.

How could anyone refuse? How could he possibly refuse?

John Harris finally felt a headache coming on. The way things were unfolding was completely beyond his expectations. This seemingly ordinary young man in front of him actually made him feel a bit powerless.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now." William Bolton said his goodbyes, nodded to Mr. Thompson, and walked out of the office. Grace Foster followed right behind him, sweetly saying goodbye to everyone.

By the time John Harris came back to his senses, William Bolton was already gone. He turned to look at his assistant, and Emily Brooks was also at a complete loss.
