Chapter 5: The First Bucket of Gold (1)
Those male colleagues think, hmph, little brat, just because you became handsome you think you're something special. On the first day of work, you seduced Xiao Song, what a joke
However, things are different now. After being transformed by Shi Yicheng, Ren Chaofan can directly see through the molecular structure of materials. Therefore, the formulation of ceramic glaze colorants is no longer a problem for him. Once the sample is tested, Ren Chaofan can immediately discern the changes that occur in the glaze and colorant molecules after the chemical reactions at high temperatures, allowing him to adjust the relevant raw material ratios accordingly. In ceramic chemistry, the most important aspect is not the product, but the technology.

The sky outside is truly blue, Ren Chaofan sighed in his heart; he has finally left Tianhong and taken the first step in his entrepreneurial journey
After a week of tedious waiting, Ren Chaofan finally obtained all his paperwork. Free from the entanglements of those infatuated female colleagues, Ren Chaofan stepped out of Tianhong Glaze.
Ren Chaofan studied Ceramic Chemical Engineering at university. Like most university students in China, he learned a considerable amount of theoretical knowledge from textbooks, but his practical skills were almost nonexistent. At Tianhong Glaze, sales engineers (sales personnel in the ceramic glaze and color materials industry are generally referred to as sales engineers) not only need to sell products but also must adjust product formulas for clients and teach the technical staff of clients to proficiently master the relevant ratios of the products. After joining the company, Ren Chaofan realized that the knowledge from textbooks was entirely useless; what mattered more was practical experience. Ren Chaofan lacked nothing but practice. When he brought products to the ceramic factory for promotion, the technical staff often asked him to first prepare a small sample to be fired in the kiln for testing. The small sample he prepared produced an astonishing result after firing, almost comparable to the pottery discovered in ancient cultural sites thousands of years ago. The outcome was predictable.
She raised her head and stared at Ren Chaofan's handsome face (Xiao Song: Actually, I really want to ask him, where did he learn such realistic makeup skills), and noticed that Ren Chaofan was actually half a head taller than usual, so she continued to mock, "You even wore high heels; do you want the section chief to fire you?"
The section chief looked at the report with great puzzlement. How many ceramic majors want to join Tianhong Glaze but cannot? It is utterly incomprehensible that this underperforming Ren Chaofan actually wants to resign. Although you, Ren Chaofan, have undergone plastic surgery and have a delicate face, what can you do with your current experience outside? Are you planning to rely on your looks to live off others? With this thought, the section chief mused that he should ask Ren Chaofan where he had his surgery done. If I ever get fired, I might as well get some work done too, transforming into a handsome man to live off older women.
FS is a renowned ceramic base in Country Z, and it is one of the three famous mountains in the ceramic industry. The number of ceramic enterprises distributed throughout FS is astonishing, including many well-known companies from abroad as well as from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Ren Chaofan remained unmoved (Ren Chaofan: Where have you eight women been all this time?), resolutely submitted his resignation letter to the section chief
At this moment, the exceptional computer talent of Ren Chaofan and his enthusiastic personality become evident. As he himself stated, among sales engineers, he possesses the best computer technology, and among computer engineers, he excels in ceramic technology. However, regardless of how proficient Ren Chaofan is in computer technology and related literature, the outcome he often faces is that once the computer is repaired, the clerks immediately cease to pay him any attention. As for movies, you might as well watch them in your dreams. Thus, Ren Chaofan's romantic life can only conclude in dreams.

Ren Chaofan walked into the sales class with an air of confidence. As usual, he was the first person to arrive at the office, except for the clerk, Xiao Song. Ren Chaofan immediately felt a twinge of regret; given his striking demeanor, he should have been the last one to enter the office.
Ren Chaofan was not in the mood to pay attention to these matters; he was here today to resign. On his way back from Xishuangbanna, he had already made up his mind to resign and start his own company.
The section chief, lost in thought, quickly signed the resignation letter of Ren Chaofan, indicating approval. This individual may leave one week later, and the Human Resources Department is to handle the relevant procedures. After all, Ren Chaofan has no clients in hand and no projects that require follow-up; his absence is of little consequence. Heh heh, I can take this opportunity to recruit a female student. The section chief continued to indulge in his thoughts. After all, Ren Chaofan has no clients in hand and no projects that require follow-up; his absence is of little consequence.

Upon seeing Ren Chaofan submitting his resignation letter, male colleagues encouraged him to venture out and pursue a career, offering motivational phrases like "a true man aims for the four corners of the world". (Ren Chaofan: "Aren't they just afraid that this handsome guy will steal their ladies?"). Meanwhile, female colleagues unanimously urged him to stay, arguing that it is better to stick with the old than to embrace the new. They expressed their willingness to share some of their clients with him if he chose to remain, and were even more eager to selflessly impart their knowledge of glaze technology to him. (Infatuated female colleague: "That way, I have an excuse to be with Afan every day")
Ren Chaofan, being dark, thin, and unremarkable in appearance, has a low income and lacks any family background, which results in him being largely overlooked by his colleagues in the sales department. Even the clerical staff are generally reluctant to engage with him. However, there are exceptions; for instance, when a clerk's computer malfunctions and her supervisor urgently requests a document to be printed, she sweetly asks, "Afaan, could you help me check if this computer is working? I'll treat you to a movie tonight."
As Xiao Song spoke, she lowered her head to look at Ren Chaofan's feet, wondering where the high heels were. My goodness, it was unbelievable; it wasn't makeup, but Afan had truly transformed into a tall and handsome figure. A single trip to Xishuangbanna had brought about such a miracle in Ren Chaofan! Xiao Song was both amazed and regretful, thinking how wonderful it would have been if she had let her boyfriend travel with Afan. If someone as ordinary-looking as Afan could become so striking, then her boyfriend's appearance would surely make him the most handsome man in the country. In a moment of deep regret, Xiao Song felt heartbroken, nearly in tears, completely unaware that if her boyfriend were to become the most handsome man in the country, the first thing he would do would be to leave her, an ordinary-looking girlfriend.
Poor Ren Chaofan had no idea about the intricate thoughts of his colleagues. He sat at his desk and began to write his resignation letter. Faced with the overwhelming curiosity of his colleagues, he could only attribute the changes in his appearance to two words: "plastic surgery." From that moment on, the term "plastic surgery" became a sensation throughout the land, from the Yangtze River to the north. Little did Ren Chaofan know that the two words he casually mentioned to deflect his colleagues' inquiries would actually give rise to a burgeoning industry in Country Z, which is truly a miracle. To this day, the oldest and most reputable plastic surgery institutions in Country Z still display before-and-after photos and brochures of Ren Chaofan's "plastic surgery," all claiming to be the true "plastic surgery" institution for the long-lost business magnate Ren Chaofan.
Upon closer inspection, they exclaimed, "Hey, isn't that Afan? How did he end up looking like this, trying to act cool?" Once they clearly recognized that Ren Chaofan had indeed transformed into a tall and handsome figure, far from being a mere illusion, these individuals immediately became indignant.
Ren Chaofan's company, Tianhong Glaze Co., Ltd., is a well-known Taiwanese-funded enterprise in the industry. Taiwanese-funded enterprises generally offer decent benefits. However, there is a strict hierarchical system within these companies, and they hold a significant disdain for individuals from mainland China. For mainlanders, attaining the position of section chief in a Taiwanese-funded enterprise is essentially the highest level they can reach. As a result, many mainlanders tend to change jobs after working for a period in these companies. (Note: The above is solely the author's personal experience and does not represent the views of others. The author does not intend to attack any Taiwanese-funded company.) Therefore, many mainlanders tend to change jobs after working for a period in these companies. (Note: The above is solely the author's personal experience and does not represent the views of others.

She stormed out of the section chief's office and shouted at Ren Chaofan: "Why does a man need to wear such heavy makeup? Trying to look cool?"
Xiao Song was cleaning in the office of the section chief when suddenly a very sunny and handsome guy walked in, causing her heart to uncontrollably race. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be none other than Afan, the all-purpose patch from the sales department.
Those female colleagues think. Hmph, you little brat, blind to the obvious, wasting such a handsome appearance. If you want to seduce women, you should go for beautiful women like yourself, not someone like Xiao Song, who has an ordinary appearance and is as flat as a washboard. Such a lack of taste!
In Taiwanese-funded companies, salaries are primarily linked to sales performance. Ren Chaofan's sales performance has not improved, and he has been receiving a base salary of 1,000 yuan, with almost no sales commission. He has humbly sought advice on technology from experienced sales engineers, but due to the company's salary system that ties compensation to performance, who would be willing to share their expertise with him? That would be tantamount to training a competitor to divide their own sales performance. The only opportunity for Ren Chaofan to learn technical skills arises when the older sales engineers are too busy with their work. When a client encounters a minor issue and they cannot attend to it themselves, they will ask Ren Chaofan to help handle it, while simultaneously sharing some technical handling tips. However, these tips are often trivial. Many critical techniques are such that even if the sales engineers face complaints from clients, they will wait until they finish their tasks to personally address the client's issues. Therefore, although Ren Chaofan has made some progress in his technical skills over the past year, the improvement has been limited.
At this moment, the colleagues in the class had gradually arrived, and they witnessed a rather strange scene. A tall, handsome man stood there coolly, while the clerk, Xiao Song, had her head lowered, her eyes filled with tears. Could it be that the couple was having a quarrel? No, that doesn't seem right; Xiao Song's boyfriend is not like that.
Ren Chaofan, as a university graduate who has just completed one year at the Ceramic Institute, holds little status within the company. Consequently, apart from the sales department, few people pay him any attention, and even within the sales team, he is considered a dispensable figure. However, today, upon entering the company, he has attracted considerable attention. Employees from other departments are whispering among themselves while gazing at the tall and handsome Ren Chaofan, speculating whether he is a new executive dispatched from the headquarters. The infatuated girls are already mesmerized, secretly wondering if he might be assigned to their department. It seems I have a chance. No wonder that fortune teller I encountered on the street yesterday said my romantic prospects are on the rise.
