Chapter 183: Rejected For Interview
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
No amount of kindness would be enough for Zheng Yue’s wastefulness. Thus, Yang Xin and Leng Yan’s patience had reached its end.
“Do you think it’s so easy to find a job? I can’t find a good job at all.” Zheng Yue’s tone was aggrieved, and her eyes turned red again. “It wasn’t easy for me to find those three jobs.”
Although she said that, Zheng Yue’s crying appearance had already become a common sight for the few of them these few days.
Seeing Zheng Yue cry, Leng Yan, Yang Xin, and Murong Qiao, who were standing at the side without saying anything, looked at each other and saw the thoughts in each other’s hearts.
There were no ripples at all.
Seeing Zheng Yue cry like the time when she was fired, Leng Yan and Yang Xin no longer comforted her kindly and said that they would help her.
One learns from one’s mistakes.
Zheng Yue covered her face and cried. She did what she did last time, but after crying for a long time, no one was there to comfort her.
Then, she became a little fl.u.s.tered when she heard Murong Qiao’s voice.
“Since you can’t find a job, I can recommend one to you,” Murong Qiao finally said.
She had not spoken until now.
“Job?” Zheng Yue looked up at her with surprise in her eyes.
If one looked closely, they would see that Zheng Yue was clearly unwilling to work. She just wanted to enjoy a carefree life for nothing.
It was a pity, but everyone had to step out of their comfort zone eventually, and Zheng Yue had no choice but to step out now.
Murong Qiao was naturally not joking when she said that she wanted to recommend a job for Zheng Yue. Therefore, she gave Zheng Yue an address.
It was Nan Kang’s company. They were recruiting now.
Zheng Yue understood now that no matter how unwilling she was, this was her last chance. It was definitely impossible to count on Leng Yan and Yang Xin to continue raising her. Zheng Yue could only accept Murong Qiao’s good intentions and go to the company she mentioned.
The company in front of her was luxurious and imposing. Even its name was shining with gold, as n.o.ble as money. Even the cars parked at the entrance cost hundreds of thousands. It was the kind that could make Zheng Yue’s heart skip a beat.
“h.e.l.lo, are you interviewing job applicants here?” Zheng Yue walked into the company nervously and asked the front desk staff timidly.
When the front desk heard her voice, she looked up at Zheng Yue. When her gaze met the other party’s slightly shabby clothes, she instantly became disdainful, but she still maintained her professionalism.
“Yes, please wait in the third room on the left on the first floor for the interview,” the front desk informed her truthfully.
During this period of time, the company had been in a downturn. Many people had resigned and left, so they had no choice but to recruit a batch of fresh blood at the last minute.
Zheng Yue then followed the route and walked towards the corresponding room. As soon as she pushed open the door, she saw many people sitting inside. She was a little afraid, but she still mustered her courage and found a corner to sit down.
She didn’t expect the job Murong Qiao recommended to her to be like this. At first, Zheng Yue only thought that it would be a part-time job, like working in a cafeteria to serve dishes or doing temporary work.
However, seeing that she was surrounded by people in suits, Zheng Yue lost even more confidence.
She was only wearing the white dress that she thought looked the best, but this dress was also an old style from a few years ago. Other than being washed clean, it was nothing special. Wearing it, Zheng Yue looked completely different from the people around her.
Zheng Yue couldn’t remember what happened when she went in. The only thing she remembered was that she was at a loss when facing the HR manager and spilled a cup of hot water.
“I’m sorry, but you don’t meet our requirements.” The HR manager politely rejected Zheng Yue.
Zheng Yue was not surprised that she failed the interview.
She forced a smile and walked out of the interview room. She couldn’t tell what she was thinking.
The surrounding gazes that sized up her were like sharp blades that shot straight at her, nailing b.l.o.o.d.y holes in her body one after another, revealing her embarra.s.sment to everyone.
Zheng Yue then quickened her pace and left. She ran to the washroom in one breath and hid in the small s.p.a.ce for a long time without saying anything.
“Is anyone in there?” There was a knock on the door.
Zheng Yue hurriedly came out. When she realized that it was the cleaning lady, she heaved a sigh of relief. She forced herself to calm down and washed her face before walking out.
“I already said that you don’t have to inform me about this anymore! How is your brain—” An angry male voice approached from afar.
Zheng Yue’s mind was wandering and she didn’t look where she was going. She directly b.u.mped into the imposing figure. “Ah!”
Which blind person is this!
Nan Kang subconsciously wanted to curse, but when he stood up and saw Zheng Yue, those words were silenced.
“You—are you hurt anywhere?” The curse was on the tip of his tongue, but it was replaced by concern. Nan Kang’s voice softened.
Zheng Yue’s head was in pain. Tears welled up in her eyes as she covered her head and slowly got up from the ground in pain. It was then that she heard Nan Kang’s concerned words.
She looked up at Nan Kang and saw that he was wearing a suit and tie. He was obviously not an ordinary person so she immediately felt afraid and shook her head.
“No, I’m fine.” Zheng Yue didn’t dare to say otherwise.
It was fine if she was injured, but she was afraid of being asked to compensate the other party.
However, her voice made Nan Kang’s eyes light up.
He was very familiar with this voice. He felt that he had heard it somewhere before. When Nan Kang saw Zheng Yue’s face, this familiar feeling evoked his memories.
She was the girl he had b.u.mped into in the hotel!
“It’s you?” Nan Kang suddenly said. His inexplicable words shocked Zheng Yue.
Nan Kang recognized Zheng Yue, but Zheng Yue didn’t recognize him.
From his tone, he seemed to be familiar with her. But looking at Nan Kang’s obviously middle-aged looks and tone, including his huge beer belly, he was clearly not someone she could have known.
“I’m sorry, sir. 1 didn’t mean to b.u.mp into you.” Zheng Yue lowered her posture and her voice. “I’m sorry to make you angry. I was in a bad mood after failing the interview just now…”
Zheng Yue didn’t want to compensate him, so she said that because she wanted to gain some sympathy from him so that he might let her off.
However, that was not the main point that Nan Kang was focused on. He looked at Zheng Yue’s pitiful appearance and his heart was suddenly tugged by something.
Then, his gaze landed on Zheng Yue. Her white skirt swayed with her movements, as if it was a ripple on the calm lake in Nan Kang’s heart.
“It’s fine.” Nan Kang’s tone was gentle, as if he had become a different person.
Zheng Yue reminded him of an ex-girlfriend. She was also wearing a white dress that was washed sparkling clean. She looked pure and white, making Nan Kang’s heart tremble.
It was the smell of youth.
“Are you okay? 1 think you twisted your ankle. Come with me to deal with it,” Nan Kang asked her kindly.
When they b.u.mped into each other just now, Zheng Yue didn’t pay much attention to herself when she fell to the ground. Now that Nan Kang reminded her, she realized that her ankle had begun to swell and hurt.
Zheng Yue was at a loss. She didn’t expect that not only would she not be held accountable, but she would also receive such concern. Her face immediately turned red.
“No, it’s fine. I can handle it myself.” She hurriedly waved her hand to refuse, but she couldn’t reject Nan Kang’s good intentions..
