Chapter 141 The 141st Day of Not Running Away The first day of not running away...

At that moment, Wen Chan suddenly opened the door to the interview room and walked out.

The commotion drew everyone's attention.

Her expression remained calm, showing no sign of panic: "Those who want to leave can leave now; there's no need to stay here."

The interviewees were stunned; they looked at each other.

"This is not how you conduct interviews!" said angrily a boy who had just failed his interview.

Wen Chan said, "You may think it's against the rules, that's your freedom."

She looked at the others: "But if anyone else wants to stay for the interview, that's their prerogative."

She had absolutely no interest in arguing with that kind of person.

After saying this, she said to the fat man, "Let those who want to leave go, and arrange for the rest to come in for interviews."

After saying this, she closed the door and said to Liu Yan and the others, "Let's take a rest."

It's a mess outside; it looks like someone slammed the door and left.

Liu Yan asked worriedly, "Wen Chan, what will we do if they all leave?"

Wen Chan unscrewed a bottle of mineral water, took a sip, and said unhurriedly, "If someone is so easily swayed, they're not the kind of person we're looking for. Our investment company deals in at least seven figures per transaction. We need people who have their own ideas, are calm and independent, not people who get easily provoked and then fly into a rage, being used as pawns and thinking they're so clever."

Hearing Chan's words, Xiao Pan broke out in a cold sweat.

She felt that she was exactly the kind of person Mr. Wen was talking about.

She had previously stood up for a friend in a fight, only to later find out that her friend was actually in the wrong.

Outside.

The living room, which was just crowded a moment ago, has suddenly become much less crowded.

In the 1990s, college students were pampered and cherished. When a child got into college, it was a source of pride for the whole family. With job placement guaranteed, people naturally couldn't stand being treated unfairly and were unwilling to calmly reflect on their situation.

Sun Peng and the others stayed behind.

The fat man looked at them and said, "If you're here for an interview, I'll get you a new number."

He held a sticky note in his hand and quickly rearranged the numbers.

Sun Peng said, "We have another classmate named Song Ke. He went to the restroom and will be back in a bit. Can we get him a number?"

The fat man naturally wouldn't give them any favors, so the fact that they stayed at this point shows that he was being very kind to them.

Sun Peng helped get a number, which puzzled the others.

He Lan, in particular, whispered, "Squad leader, why are you helping Song Ke? He's said a lot of bad things about you."

“We’re all classmates. Besides, if I get the job, we’ll be colleagues and help each other out.” Sun Peng was very optimistic.

The expressions on the faces of the boys next to him clearly showed their disapproval.

Song Ke has a terrible reputation, regardless of gender.

Sun Peng's first interview.

He usually reads newspapers and news, but he was still sweating profusely when asked several policy-related questions.

Wen Chan looked at the resume, then looked up at him, "You were a class monitor for four years in college?"

Sun Peng nodded: "To be precise, it was two and a half years. The first year I was the deputy squad leader."

"Did you bring any classmates with you to the interview?" Wen Chan continued to ask.

After Sun Peng nodded, she continued, "If you were the chief interviewer, which student from your class would you be willing to stay?"

When Liu Yan heard this question, she found it interesting; it really hit the nail on the head.

Isn't human resources work all about testing one's ability to recognize and select talent?

Wen Chan asked him a few questions in a row, then told him to go back.

She then interviewed He Lan and others, and she seemed somewhat satisfied.

"I'm sorry, I'm late." Song Ke pushed open the door, panting, apologized to Wen Chan and the others, and bowed.

Liu Yan looked surprised. Seeing Wen Chan drinking water, she took the resume and told him to sit down and rest for a while.

Wen Chan took a sip of water. When she saw that the resume showed that the student was from the same school as Sun Peng, she raised her eyebrows and randomly asked a few questions.

Song Ke could answer some questions, but not others.

His expression was somewhat flustered, as if he had discovered that things had taken an unexpected turn.

"You can go now. Go back and wait for our notification," Wen Chan nodded to him and said.

Song Ke hesitated before standing up. Seeing Wen Chan tidying up her resume, he quickly said, "I'm more hardworking than anyone else in our class!"

Wen Chan, Liu Yan, and the others looked up at Song Ke in surprise.

Song Ke's face flushed red. "Really, although my family is well-off, my dad taught me from a young age that I must work hard. If you two are willing to give me a chance, I will definitely work hard."

Wen Chan and Liu Yan exchanged a glance and fell silent.

Wen Chan rested her chin on her hand, thought for a moment, and asked, "I have a question. If you were the interviewer today, who among your classmates would you eliminate first?"

“Sun Peng!” Song Ke said decisively, “Sun Peng is a man of questionable character, and he is often involved in scandals with women.”

"Okay, I understand."

Wen Chan nodded. "You can go now. Go back and wait for our notification."

Song Ke hesitated for a moment, then walked away, turning back every few steps.

Sun Peng and the others waited for news after returning home.

The investment company offered incredibly good benefits, and besides, many young people of their generation had the idea of ​​going abroad.

Getting a job at a foreign company is like paving the way in advance. Therefore, even though many people go around badmouthing their future company after the interview, there are still many people who actively go for interviews.

There are still quite a few smart people.

"Ring ring ring—"

The phone on the first floor of the dormitory building had just rung when the dormitory supervisor answered it and called upstairs, "Sun Peng, Zhang Yan, it's your phone."

Sun Peng, Zhang Yan, and others rushed down.

The dormitory supervisor was amused to see them all wearing old-fashioned shirts. She picked up a wool knitting needle and said, "Oh my, aren't you all cold? It's already ten degrees today, and you've all come out wearing just this one piece of clothing."

Sun Peng picked up the phone, while Zhang Yan, who was anxiously waiting beside him, couldn't help but joke with the dormitory supervisor: "Auntie, we're all on tenterhooks, waiting for news."

The aunt laughed and said, "What are you waiting for? Do you think money will fall from the sky?"

The auntie talked as she knitted a sweater.

"Okay, thank you, thank you. We can start our internship the day after tomorrow."

Sun Peng readily agreed, glancing at Zhang Yan, whose heart leaped into her throat.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yan couldn't wait to ask, "So, is it Future Company?"

Sun Peng nodded heavily.

He grasped Zhang Yan's hand, "All six of us can go!"

"Six?! That's excluding Song Ke?!" Zhang Yan was overjoyed, then turned to Guo Ali.

Sun Peng's face showed a hint of helplessness: "Yes, Mr. Wen asked me to tell you that we will have a one-month trial period, and the salary will be the same as the regular salary."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yan's eyes lit up.

Two thousand yuan is a high salary in Beijing. Zhang Yan is an only child, and both his parents work, but their combined monthly salary is only six hundred yuan.

I actually earned more than three months' salary from my parents!

"Zhang Yan, stop joking. Come with me to tell him that Song Ke was not selected."

Sun Peng said.

Zhang Yan readily agreed, "Of course—"

Before he could finish speaking, he noticed Sun Peng's expression change, as if he had seen something. Zhang Yan instinctively turned around to look.

The person standing behind him with a dark face was none other than Song Ke.

Song Ke was carrying a thermos, clearly having come down to fetch hot water.

His face was gloomy, but he smiled at Sun Peng and the others: "No need to tell me, I already know."

After saying this, Song Ke picked up the thermos and left.

Sun Peng and Zhang Yan exchanged a glance.

Zhang Yan rubbed the back of his hands: "Damn, I got goosebumps. How can this person be so scary?"

"Forget about him, it's understandable that he's unhappy because he didn't get the interview." Sun Peng scratched his head and said, "But didn't we check our answers when we came out? You could only answer one question correctly, but everyone else got in. Didn't Song Ke tell people that he answered several questions correctly? Why wasn't he selected?"

Zhang Yan said, "How would I know? I think the two female bosses at that company look a bit strange. Maybe they just want someone like us who can't answer questions."

Sun Peng burst out laughing.

At the corner, Song Ke's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and his teeth were almost ground to dust.

After discussing it, Chen Bozheng and his team finally decided to take over the Jingyang residential complex. Section Chief Cai was very sincere and helped them contact the buyers of the complex to arrange a meeting.

Before that, Chen Bo was planning to take the buyers to see the Jingyun residential area.

Hua Lingfeng was full of confidence: "Let them look if they want. Our community is really top-notch. Our elevators were specially shipped from Hong Kong. They are the best in the country."

It's a building with more than ten floors. To be honest, if we didn't install an elevator, no one would say anything.

These days, apart from a few large hotels that have installed elevators, most high-rise buildings only have stairs.

However, Chen Bozheng considered the reputation and the convenience of the residents, so he still spent a lot of money to buy elevators from Hong Kong, averaging 100,000 per elevator.

The elevator was installed a few days ago, and everyone in the sales office applauded. They can finally stop climbing stairs every day to show properties to clients.

I must say, installing two elevators was worth it.

The day after it was installed, all the customers who came to see the apartments were amazed by the elevator. One coal mine owner even bought three apartments in one go, saying it was an investment.

"We still need to have someone clean it up properly and tidy up all the construction debris. There will be a lot of people coming to see the house tomorrow, and we don't want anyone to bump into anything."

Chen Bozheng said, "Didn't Lao Cai remind us that several of the elderly people inside are troublemakers and a real pain? We'd rather work a little harder than cause trouble for ourselves."

That's really true.

Hua Lingfeng nodded, "Okay, I'll take some people upstairs and tidy it up right away."

He got up and went out to work.

Wang Jianquan saw this and was filled with envy. He said to Chen Bozheng, "Bozheng, Xiaohua really listens to you."

Chen Bo was stunned for a moment, then laughed and cried at the same time: "Really?"

Wang Jianquan took a sip of water and wiped his chin: "That's amazing! You have no idea, at home, he doesn't listen to his parents or his sister when they talk to him. He only occasionally gives me any face. You're really something, he admires you so much."

Chen Bozheng said, "I don't think so. Xiao Hua is quite reasonable. He just has a short temper sometimes. If you talk to him patiently, he will listen."

Wang Jianquan lowered his head and thought for a moment.

Hua Lingfeng's sister, who is also his wife, is known for her quick temper and her exasperation with his son's lack of ambition.

No wonder the siblings always argue when they meet.

These are people who respond better to gentle persuasion than force, which inevitably leads to a head-on confrontation in the end.
