Even though Zhou Yaling was a bit perfunctory with her brother Mo Jingchun, her actions were honest, obediently carrying out Mo Jingchunâs instructions.
After all, how much pocket money she could earn was determined by Mo Jingchun. If she didnât perform well, how could she feel good about taking the money later?
But speaking of it, Zhou Yaling had thought that the front desk would be a comfortable job. In reality, Zhou Yaling realized she was still too young.
From morning till now, people had been asking questions, making Zhou Yalingâs voice hoarse from replying.
At the front desk, Zhou Yaling took a handheld speaker from the cabinet and walked toward the lobby.
The sunlight in the parking lot grew stronger as the sun rose.
Interviewees with umbrellas were a bit better off, having a place to hide from the sun. Most interviewees without umbrellas had already started sweating.
If this continued, they might be drenched in sweat before the interview even started.
As the glaring sun hit her eyes, Zhou Yaling couldnât help but squint.
After a few seconds of adjustment, Zhou Yaling fully opened her eyes.
Looking at the group of interviewees in front of her, Zhou Yaling cleared her throat, aiming at the speaker.
"Cough, cough, cough..."
If anything can attract peopleâs attention the most, itâs definitely the sound of coughing.
Hearing Zhou Yalingâs cough, everyone in the parking lot turned their attention.
"Good morning, interviewees. Our boss at Candy Technology has considered the hot weather and issued a directive just now. Please head to the sixth-floor conference hall to rest. The central air conditioning has been turned on for you there, and mineral water is provided."
"Please proceed in an orderly manner to the sixth-floor conference hall, thank you."
After Zhao Yaling finished speaking, interviewees began heading towards the sixth-floor conference hall as she directed.
Returning to the first-floor lobby, Zhou Yaling printed a few A4 sheets with "Please proceed to the sixth-floor conference hall" written on them.
When Zhou Yaling reached the security booth, her dad was sitting upright, intently watching the monitors.
"Dad."
Zhou Xing raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why arenât you staying at the front desk? What are you doing here?"
Zhou Yaling pouted, "I canât come if thereâs nothing to do?"
"Here."
"Help me stick these at the entrance, Iâm busy inside."
After glancing at the content on the paper, Zhou Xing took it, nodding.
"Got it, you hurry back."
"Itâs your first day at work. Even if you donât leave a bad impression on your brother, you shouldnât leave a bad impression on your colleagues."
"Oh, Dad, stop worrying about me. Iâm getting along great with the sisters."
"I hope so. Anyway, remember, your brother brought us here to help us. We canât tarnish his reputation."
"Got it, Iâm heading back."
Zhou Yaling waved her hand and dashed off. If she didnât, who knows how long her old man would keep nagging.
On the other side, Wang Huihui took the elevator with the crowd to the sixth floor and entered the large conference hall, immediately feeling the temperature drop several degrees.
Seeing someone distributing mineral water at the entrance, a parched Wang Huihui also queued up for a bottle.
"Thank you!" Receiving the mineral water, Wang Huihui bowed to the sister from Candy Technology distributing the water and said, "Thank you."
"Youâre welcome."
In the conference room, Wang Huihui casually picked a spot to sit and wait for further arrangements from Candy Technology.
What the interviewees who came to the conference hall one after another didnât know was that Candy Technologyâs boss, Mo Jingchun, was in the office watching their every move through several surveillance cameras with no blind spots.
"Brother, this isnât fun to watch, letâs watch Peppa Pig together."
In Mo Jingchunâs penthouse office, Candy sat on his lap, eagerly looking at Mo Jingchun.
Her brother had been watching for a long time, but it wasnât entertaining at all.
Mo Jingchun patted Candyâs head and said, "Alright."
----------
In the meeting room, HR, with a microphone, announced, "Could all the interview candidates in the first row please join me for an interview in the small conference room."
Sitting in the front row, Wang Huihui was momentarily stunned. Realizing whatâs happening, she quickly got up with the other interviewees to proceed.
Once out of the conference hall, with each step, Wang Huihui felt her heart rate accelerate to a point where she almost felt it might jump out.
Wang Huihui thought it was due to nervousness, but later, after Candy Technologyâs annual health checkup, she discovered that her heart rate had been abnormal for a while.
Any significant emotional fluctuations could lead to sinus arrhythmia.
In the small conference room, HR sat in a row, with each candidate seated across them in order.
"Hello, hereâs my resume."
After handing her resume to HR, Wang Huihui anxiously watched them.
"No need to be nervous. Please sit, and Iâll verify your information."
Saying so, HR cross-checked Wang Huihuiâs ID number with the resume she submitted earlier.
Seeing the information was accurate and that she passed the preliminary selection, HR smiled and started the Q&A.
"Iâm a few years older than you, so Iâll call you âsisterâ for now."
Following the questions provided by the boss, HR asked Wang Huihui various questions on her professional knowledge. Confirming she met the hiring criteria, HR asked:
"So... youâre doing well on your basics. Do you have any salary expectations?"
Nervously playing with her fingers, Wang Huihui tentatively quoted a figure.
"12K"
âKâ is the common unit for salaries in the Internet sector, with 1K equating to 1000 RMB.
12K, therefore, signifies a salary of 12,000 RMB.
For a new graduate from an unknown second-tier college, getting a 12,000 RMB salary offer in a small town right after graduation is quite impressive.
Wang Huihui originally thought they might frown and try to cut the salary. Unexpectedly, they nodded and agreed right away.
"12K is acceptable, though our company does conduct monthly evaluations."
"These arenât exams; itâs just that, during your daily work, your performance will be automatically graded by our data center. If your score is too low, youâll receive a warning, and the second time, youâll be let go."
HR chuckled and said, "As it happens, this grading system was developed by the department youâre about to join."
"Of course, if you can manage to change your scores from the backend, Iâd say youâre pretty impressive."
Seeing the confusion on Wang Huihuiâs face, HR explained with a smile, "Although the grading system was engineered by the tech department, it was finally optimized and encapsulated by our boss."
"Our boss is indeed the most skilled in programming."
"Oh, by the way, do you have any other questions? Or any requests?"
Finally getting a chance to speak, Wang Huihui quickly nodded and said, "Yes!"
