When Chen Hao reached the 26th floor, he saw that there were quite a number of interviewees today.
The crowd was made up of handsome gentlemen and beautiful ladies. There were at least thirty to forty people.
On his way to the hall where the interview was held, he passed by an office area.
Most of the staff there were ladies.
Whenever a handsome guy stepped out of the elevator, the ladies would exclaim as though they had never seen men.
However, when Chen Hao walked out of the elevator, the commotion from the ladies died down a few notches.
He wondered whether it was because he was not charismatic enough.
Damn!
Chen Hao cursed silently.
âHe is the thirty-eighth interviewee. There are only two vacancies, so why are there so many people?â
Some of the girls were counting their competitors.
At the moment, they were grumbling among themselves.
âHey, look at him. He came here all alone. Does he really think he can pass the interview?â
âAlthough his looks are above average, his facial features are not outstanding. He is nothing compared to that handsome guy who walked in just now.â
âExactly. I think he should just head home now, so that his time would not be wasted!â One of the guys said.
Most of them came as a group and all of them were fighting for the same job. Therefore, some of them started to utter sarcastic words at Chen Hao.
Chen Hao took a deep breath while listening to their mockeries.
He kept his composure.
After all, Chen Hao was clear about the purpose of his trip here.
Thankfully, the door of the elevator opened once again at the moment. A lanky girl, whose height was at least 1.78m, walked out of the elevator.
Her long, claret-red hair fell down her shoulders.
Her body was curvy and attractive. Her facial features were striking and her skin was fair and shiny.
All in all, she had a really good image and temperament.
She looked like the dream girl of every man!
With some files in her arms, she ambled in the direction of the interview hall. Obviously, she was here to attend the interview too.
As soon as she appeared, many of the girls put on a gloomy face and stopped talking.
Meanwhile, many of the guys were staring at her with fiery eyes.
Chen Hao was no exception. He followed their gazes and stared at the girl from head to toe.
In his opinion, the girl was quite pretty.
She was almost as attractive as Qin Ya.
âPretty girl, are you here for the interview too? What a coincidence! May I have your WeChat number?
My brother-in-law is the Assistant Human Resource Manager here!â
The most handsome guy in the room approached the pretty girl with a smile.
âIt's okay, thank you.â
Smoothing down some wild strands of her hair, the pretty girl shook her head embarrassingly.
She turned him down tactfully.
âYou donât need to worry about anything. Just look at your beautiful face! You are the most eligible candidate here. They are going to hire just one male and one female this time around. I am sure we are the ones who will be chosen. We should get to know each other better through WeChat!â The guy was relentless.
Chen Hao looked at the handsome guy, who was so confident that he would land the job.
He started to doubt whether his referral letters would work.
Apparently, the pretty girl was not the flirty type. However, she felt bad to reject the guy before the crowd. In the end, she still gave him her WeChat number.
The rest of the guys were envious of him.
âEveryone, please be quiet. Please acknowledge your presence when your name is mentioned. Then, please follow me into the room. The first one is Chen Shao!â
âYes!â
âYes!â
As Chen Hao was busy staring at the pretty girl, he reacted subconsciously when he heard Chen Shaoâs name.
In the end, the tall guy also reacted.
Awkwardness befell the scene.
Chen Shao shot a sideway glance disdainfully at Chen Hao.
âWhatâs going on? I didnât notice anyone having the same name.â
At the moment, a female staff member of the hiring department walked toward Chen Hao.
Obviously, the Chen Shao guy was very close to all the hiring staff.
She took a look at Chen Haoâs profile.
âIsn't your name Chen Hao? What are you doing? Why did you answer when I called for Chen Shao?â
âSo sorry, I was mistaken!â
Chen Hao said awkwardly with a forced smile.
âIs it possible that he thought she was calling for Young Master Chen? Thatâs why he reacted to the name! Haha!â One of the guys taunted.
âWho wouldâve thought that Young Master Chen from Jin Ling was here!â
The rest of them broke into laughter.
Even the pretty girlâs face revealed a slight grin.
Chen Hao did not say anything to rebut. After all, he was the one who made a mistake.
Thereafter, Chen Shao went into the room to interview.
After a short while, he walked out of the room looking proud.
âChen Shao, what did they ask during the interview? Can you give us some clues?â
The rest of the interviewees surrounded him and asked.
âNothing much. Basically, we just had a casual chat. All three of the hiring managers laughed so hard because of my jokes. Then, they asked me when I was available to start. Thatâs all,â Chen Shao stated, his hands tucked into his pockets.
The rest of the guys were green with envy. It seemed like he was the one who would fill the male quota.
Later, the rest of them entered the room one after another.
Chen Hao submitted his profile and the referral letters to the hiring managers.
After answering some questions by the hiring managers, Chen Hao walked out of the room.
The next thing was to wait for the final outcome.
Some of the interviewees had left without waiting for it.
As for Chen Shao, he was still pestering the pretty girl.
âThe result is out!â
Soon, the female staff member walked out of the room with two registration forms in her hands.
âI wonder who was selected?â
All of them were busy making guesses.
âThe successful candidate for the vacancy in the Investment Management Department is Miss Yang Minxue!â
Yang Minxue was that pretty girl.
âThe other successful candidate is Mr. Chen Hao!â
The female staff spoke again.
âMinxue, letâs go!â Chen Shao smiled subconsciously.
Very soon, the smile on his face was frozen.
âHuh? Hold on, I was not chosen?â
Chen Shao was bewildered.
Everyone was in a state of shock.
All of them fixated their eyes upon Chen Hao.
It went without saying that Chen Hao knew the truth. He offered his apologies to everyone else silently.
He walked over to take the employee registration form before going into one of the rooms with Yang Mingxue to sign it.
âChen Hao, we will be working in the same department in the future. Where do you stay?â
After they finished signing the forms, they were left alone in the room.
Yang Minxue started to chat with Chen Hao.
âI am staying in Xiao Gu City of Ping An County,â said Chen Hao.
âAh? What a coincidence. We are staying really close to each other. I am living in Xiao Quan City of Ping An County,â Yang Minxue said with a smile.
Obviously, she was quite friendly and chatty despite her pretty look.
The way she talked was very natural and poised.
âI heard there is a very famous hot spring mountain in the area you stay. I would like to try it out one day in the future!â Chen Hao said with a smile.
âGreat! I will bring you around.â
Newcomers in a workplace bonded the best.
âAre the newcomers inside?â At the moment, a crisp voice of a lady was heard from outside.
She was asking the hiring staff.
âYes, Supervisor Liu, they are inside.â
âGreat, bring me there!â
Chen Hao heard their conversation clearly.
Supervisor Liu was new to the company. Her voice sounded very young and familiar to Chen Hao. After listening to her voice, a dizzying ring started in Chen Haoâs head.
Why did that voice sound so familiar to him?
It couldnât be her, could it?
