His Way Back to Supremacy novel Chapter 10

"That idiot! Does that ex-convict really think he'll find a job? Pfft!" Raymond cursed out loud as he looked at Perseus in the rearview mirror.

"That's enough. Just shut up and leave him there. Looking at him just annoys me to no end."

Catherine wore a disdainful look as well. She had never liked Perseus in the past. When she found out about his imprisonment, she was so elated that she had the urge to celebrate the occasion with fireworks.

After all, the Perseus from three years ago was way too outstanding.

He had amazing grades and was every teacher's dream student. Not only that, but he was also the child that everyone in the area wished to have.

Randolph used to bring Perseus up to compare him with Catherine during the holidays. Thanks to that, Catherine found herself resenting Perseus more and more.

Now, Perseus was reduced to nothing but an ex-convict. He still needed Catherine's help in getting a job.

What was the point of having good grades?

"Don't worry. I've already passed the message to the ones in the company. I'll make sure that he gets kicked out right away.

"It's true that his presence in the company will be an eyesore for us. I'm starting to think that your dad wants him there on purpose so that he can spy on us."

Hatred flashed across Raymond's eyes at that moment.

"My dad's the old-fashioned type, so you should be on your best behavior. Ah, you'll be attending the family gathering that's taking place this Sunday. Remember to prepare some gifts. Don't give my dad a chance to nitpick at your flaws."

"Got it."

Raymond plastered a grin on his face, but in reality, he wasn't happy at all.

His monthly salary was quite low. He didn't have much money left after going out with his friends.

…

After Perseus got out of the car, he spotted a small convenience store nearby. He stopped by to buy a pack of cigarettes before heading toward Quantum Innovations leisurely.

About 20 minutes later, he finally saw Quantum Innovations.

Quantum Innovations wasn't a large-scale company at all. It was just a small-scale company that focused on research. Its net worth was 200 million dollars, with only about a few hundred active employees keeping the operations ongoing.

However, Quantum Innovations came from a strong background. Neptuna was a city where land was as valuable as money itself, yet Quantum Innovations owned a building that was located on Ringed Street. The building itself took up at least 13 acres.

The security guard didn't stop Perseus from entering the building. After Perseus told him about his purpose, the guard let him register at the counter before letting him in.

After Perseus asked one of the beautiful receptionists about the interview's location, he headed to the third floor right away. There was another person being interviewed at the moment. Perseus had to wait for around 20 minutes before it was his turn to enter the room.

The HR manager was a 40-year-old man named Dean Orcall.

"What's your name?" Dean rifled through the pile of résumés on his desk without bothering to look at Perseus.

Quantum Innovations might be a small-scale company, but it excelled at researching new technologies. It had begun to reveal its actual potential in the tech industry. Many departments were in dire need of new blood.

As the HR manager, Dean was under a lot of stress to recruit new employees.

"Perseus Caitford." Perseus sat across from Dean while maintaining his neutral expression.

"Hmm? Perseus Caitford?"

Dean was clearly stunned for a moment. He raised his head to look at Perseus, noting the latter's sharp features and buzzcut.

At first glance, Perseus looked like a decent man. But Dean's expression grew cold when he remembered Raymond's orders.

"Yes. My name is Perseus Caitford," Perseus reiterated.

"Oh." Dean inclined his head slightly. "Why can't I find your résumé?"

"I didn't have the time to draft one yet."

That was a brilliant excuse for Dean to act up. He tossed his pen onto the desk with a loud clatter, his expression now thunderous.

"Why are you looking for a job without a résumé? Are you screwing with me right now?"

"Why don't you just start asking me questions? I'll make sure to hand in my résumé later. How about that?"

Perseus frowned slightly, but he wasn't angry at Dean. He did score a chance to get an interview without going through the proper means, so it was his own fault for not preparing his own résumé in advance.

"Fine. Which university did you graduate from? What sort of working experience are you equipped with?"

Dean folded his arms in front of his chest while arching a brow disdainfully. He had seen Raymond's WhatsApp message to him earlier, which was how he found out about Perseus being an ex-convict.
