Chen Yao had come to TR Company early in the morning for an interview. She had heard from somewhere that Tan Ron liked blue clothes, so she had changed into a light blue business suit this morning to leave a good impression on Tan Rou.
During this period of time, Chen Yao had been very unhappy. She didn’t know if she was too unlucky or if someone was really causing trouble behind her back, but her job search in the Capital didn’t go smoothly.
She sent out countless job applications, but only a few companies replied to her and explicitly said that they would not hire her. She asked them why they didn’t hire her, and they said that she wasn’t suitable for their company.
Chen Yao was not willing to fail like this, so she sent her resume to many small companies that she had looked down on before. The small companies replied to her politely, but they also said that they would not hire her. The reason she gave was that her academic qualifications were too high for their company and she was afraid that the other employees in their company would feel inferior.
Chen Yao was about to die from anger. What reason was there to be afraid of others feeling inferior? Couldn’t they think of a good reason to brush her off?
After thinking about it, Chen Yao felt that something was wrong. Why didn’t all the companies hire her? Could it be that someone was really doing this on purpose?
In the end, Chen Yao decided to submit her resume to the TR company. She knew that the TR company’s requirements were very high, but she had no choice. Small companies did not accept her, and big companies did not like her. She could not starve to death in the Capital, right?
After graduation, she could no longer live in the school dormitory, so Chen Yao had to move out. Thinking of this, Chen Yao was annoyed again. Why could Lan Ning move her things to Tan Rou’s house, but she had to drag her own big and small luggage to live in a dilapidated rented house?
On the third day after the application letter was sent out, Chen Yao really received a reply letter from TR Company asking her to partic.i.p.ate in the interview. After reading the reply letter, Chen Yao jumped up happily. “Tan Rou asked me to go to her company for an interview!”
She had applied for jobs at many companies, but none of them were willing to hire her. Only TR company gave her a reply to attend the interview, so Tan Rou must have helped her.
Chen Yao muttered to herself, “Tan Rou is something. If she wanted me to join her company, she should have told me earlier. Wiry did she have to beat around the bush and ask me to submit a job application letter to her company?”
Then, she thought about it and felt that Tan Rou’s decision to not go with them for dinner was right. If Tan Rou and the others had gone for dinner, she would have agreed to their request.
TR didn’t hire many people this year. If they all went, who would Tan Rou hire?
The reply letter said that Chen Yao would attend the interview in the conference room of the company headquarters on the morning of the third day, so Chen Yao got up very soon. She put on the newly bought sky-blue suit and happily came to the interview.
Before the interview, everyone had to wait outside. Then, someone would let them draw lots and enter one by one.
Chen Yao drew number three. This number was quite close to the front, but Chen Yao was not nervous at all. Not only was she not nervous, but she was even applying lipstick in front of the mirror.
The girl next to her hugged a thick stack of doc.u.ments and asked worriedly, “Miss, why are you so happy? Aren’t you afraid of being eliminated?”
“What’s there to worry about?” Chen Yao pursed her lips and smiled. “If only a few of us partic.i.p.ate in the interview, we will be accepted.”
She was very confident that since Tan Rou had tried her best to get her to partic.i.p.ate in the interview, she would think of a way to get her to join TR Company.
The boy on Chen Yao’s right disagreed with Chen Yao’s point of view. “The selection process of TR Company is very strict. I heard that if they don’t like the candidate who partic.i.p.ated in the interview, they would rather leave the spot empty than hire someone to lower their requirements.”
This boy submitted his resume with his two roommates, but his roommates were ruthlessly rejected, leaving him alone to struggle.
Chen Yao didn’t care at all. She felt that even if the entire company was eliminated, she would still stay.
“Don’t worry, I’ll stay.” Chen Yao said with a smile.
The girl who had spoken earlier said enviously, “I wish I could be as confident as you, but I didn’t come from a good school. I only have a graduate school that I can show off. I’m really afraid that the interviewer will look at my undergraduate school.”
Chen Yao was a little embarra.s.sed because she took a look and realized that she was the only undergraduate student among all the interviewees.
