Chapter 86 Assistant to the Director

Madeline took a deep breath and said. “It’s okay, Blanca, Maurice, don’t worry about me. I will accept reality.”

“That morning for the job interview, it was indeed me who arrived late.”

“It was all my own fault. If I hadn’t gone to buy youtiao, I wouldn’t have been late.

“Such a result was also a profound lesson for me.

“I won’t make the same mistake again.”

Blanca sneered, her eyes faintly flickering with a mocking gleam.

Madeline shook her head casually and smiled, “Alright, let’s not talk

about me.”

“Blanca, to celebrate your successful entry into our Hallcester’s largest company, the Huber Group, tonight, I invite you and Maurice to have dinner.”

“This time, no need for going Dutch, I’ll pay!”

Blanca smiled meaningfully.

“Hehe, Madeline, forget it. You haven’t found a job yet, so where would you get the money to treat us?”

“Besides, I didn’t have time to have a meal with someone like you who has nothing to do.”

“Tomorrow is the official start of work, and today I have to go back

and prepare a lot of things.”

Madeline paused for a moment, awkwardly sticking out her tongue. “Oh, sorry about that. I got carried away and forgot. I’ll make it up to you when you’re not busy!”

Blanca paused for a moment and looked at Madeline before saying, “Madeline, you were not hired by the Huber Group. In the future, if you find a job in a regular company, the income won’t be very high.”

even

“We used to rent a house together at Grace Apartments before, and the rent was very expensive. With your current situation, can you afford to live there?”

Blushing, Madeline said, “I, I will find a job as soon as possible, the rent… the rent won’t put you in a difficult situation.”

Blanca sneered, “Madeline, what I mean is, even if you found a job, you wouldn’t have the same good salary as the Huber Group.”

“Isn’t it a bit uneconomical to live in luxury apartments like Grace Apartments again?”

Madeline frowned, “I… I’ll find a job first and see how the salary is before deciding…”

Blanca shook her head and glanced impatiently at the dull Madeline.

“Madeline, what I mean is, I will first put the house you are currently living in up for rent online, so that you don’t have to worry about not. being able to afford the rent and having to borrow from me later.”

“Uh… I see.” Madeline looked a bit surprised and smiled. apologetically.

“Okay, Blanca, I’m sorry for inconveniencing you.”

“The rent at Grace Apartments was indeed quite expensive, unless you worked at the Huber Group like you, then it was worth living there…”

While talking. Blanca looked up and saw Karsyn walking towards the HR Department, so she hurriedly went up to meet her.

“Hello, Ms. Croft! I have some good news to report. I was hired by the company. From now on, we will be colleagues. Please take care of

me.”

Karsyn paused for a moment, nodded and said, “Oh… alright, congratulations to you!”

Noticing Madeline behind Blanca, “Are you called Madeline?”

Blanca was immediately confused.

Without waiting for Madeline to speak, she interrupted and said, “Oh, Ms. Croft, Madeline has already been rejected for employment by our company.”

Madeline nodded apologetically, “Hello, Ms. Croft.”

“Um, okay.” Karsyn ignored Blanca and walked up to Madeline. “Just wait a moment, don’t leave.”

“Huh?” Madeline was confused and casually agreed, “Okay…”

After saying that, he turned around and entered the office of the HR Department director.

Blanca watched Karsyn’s figure for a while.

Looking at Madeline again, she frowned and said, “Did you two know each other before?”

“I don’t know her! I’m just a recently graduated poor student. Ms.

Croft, on the other hand, is the assistant to the CEO of the Huber Group. How could I possibly know such an important person?” Madeline shook her head and let out a bitter laugh.

“How could she possibly call out your name?” Blanca stared into Madeline’s eyes, afraid that she might be lying

“Blanca, don’t you already know what kind of background I come from? I really don’t know Ms. Croft.”

Blanca thought for a while and muttered to herself, “Well, Madeline is an ugly duckling, how could she have any connection with Karsyn?”

At this moment, suddenly thought of the words Robin had just told Madeline.

She chuckled and said. “Madeline, I said that Robin was a complete fraud, right?!”

“In front of me, in order to pretend to be very impressive, you dared to say that you would be hired. It’s truly laughable!”

“What’s the situation now? You were still rejected by the Huber Group!”

Madeline sighed, “Blanca, Robin was probably just trying to encourage me at the time, it wasn’t as complicated as you think…”

The conversation was not finished, and Karsyn walked out of the HR Department Director’s office.

Passing by Madeline, he handed her his business card and smiled, “Alright, I have something to do now. We can sit down and talk. another time, here’s my business card.”

Madeline held Karsyn’s business card and stared at it for a while.

Why did Ms. Croft treat me like this?

Blanca walked up to her and snatched Karsyn’s business card, coldly snorting. “Don’t overthink it, she’s just trying to comfort you after being rejected by the company.”

Madeline nodded and sighed. “I know, Blanca, I didn’t dare to think too much.”

“Ding ding…” Madeline’s phone rang.

“Hello, I am Sherry Pena, the HR Department Director of the Huber Group.”

“I am officially informing you that you have been hired.”

Madeline exclaimed. “Ms. Pena, did you make a mistake? Prior to this, I had already received a rejection notice from your company.”

Sherry on the other end of the phone laughed and said, “That was just an error in the company’s computer system.”

“Your application materials have been reviewed by our CEO, and he has approved your hiring.”

“Provisionally appointed as the Assistant to the Director of the Business Strategy Department at the Eastern District Development Corporation of the Huber Group. Please come immediately to receive the job offer and complete the onboarding paperwork.”

After hanging up the phone, Madeline felt as if she had just had a dream, feeling confused and disoriented.

“Was I accepted by the Huber Group? As the assistant to the Director of the Business Strategy Department?”

Pr

prank! The executive assistant, that’s the salary of a vice president!” Blanca froze, snatched Madeline’s phone and checked the incoming call number.

The number is indeed the office phone of the HR Department Director, without a doubt

“What’s going on? You were clearly rejected for the job, how could you be hired as the Assistant Director of the Business Strategy Department in the company? And you’re starting immediately!”

She immediately pulled Madeline to the secretariat of the HR Department.

The secretary in charge of recruitment is organizing Madeline’s entry materials, including her employee file and ID card. Even the employee number has been assigned!

Blanca angrily interrogated the recruitment secretary, “I want to know, Madeline was clearly rejected, why did you hire her again? And not only that, you gave her such a high position, treating her as an associate director from the start!”

The recruitment secretary glanced at Blanca, gave a faint smile, and said. “I am not sure about this either. The hiring of positions above the level of deputy director is approved and signed by the president.”

“That is to say, this was the president’s chosen candidate, people like us at this level simply couldn’t possibly know why.”

Blanca was almost going crazy!

“They say the Huber Group is a fair and transparent work environment, but now I realize that there were also many hidden agendas!”

The secretary frowned slightly and said, “Ms. Perry, if you have any questions or dissatisfaction, there are two ways to resolve it. One is to,

choose to resign from the Huber Group, and I can process it for you immediately. The second is to choose to disobey the company’s assignment and be dismissed by the company.”

“Excuse me, which one do you choose?”

Blanca immediately closed her mouth.

“If you have no choice and there is no other necessary matter, please leave my office immediately!” the recruitment secretary said coldly.

Then, a pile of documents, an ID card, and keys were handed over to Madeline. “Ms. Pearson, please stay. Once you have completed filling out these documents, you can start working immediately. Here is your ID card and office room number.”

“Sorry, Blanca, I didn’t think about it either,” Madeline apologized to Blanca.

The secretary frowned slightly and said, “Actually, Ms. Pearson, it was only natural for you to be hired as the assistant to the director of the Business Strategy Department.”

“On your resume, it is stated that during your time in school, you published multiple papers on market management strategies in authoritative core journals, receiving unanimous praise from domestic and international experts.”

“Your talent perfectly suited the current position, and it was personally appointed by the CEO.”

“President?” Madeline and Blanca said simultaneously.
