Becoming a life winner from infancy-Chapter 385: Interview with a Newcomer
All you veterans of office jobs know that a typical recruitment event involves three stages: resumes, written tests, and interviews.
Depending on the size of the company, there could also be multiple rounds of interviews, which are especially grueling during campus recruitment.
First, there’s a leaderless group discussion, followed by interviews with a supervisor, a director, the boss, and finally, with HR.
However, recruitment for experienced hires is different as it seeks "needed talent," so the process is much simpler; often, they can make a final decision on the same day without the need for multiple interviews.
Small companies tend to be more casual; it’s all about the vibe. If the basic qualifications are met and the conversation flows well, and if the abilities are up to par, then that’s it—so there is no complex interview process. Usually, the supervisor’s interview, the boss’s interview, and the HR interview are rolled into one.
The first candidate to arrive was a 21-year-old young man named Chen Shuhang, a fresh graduate in Chinese Language and Literature from Mei City University.
Unable to find work in his field besides teaching, and being a huge fan of gaming, he decided to interview at the locally renowned Youxing Studio.
To his surprise, his resume was accepted right away.
Heh, who knew the bar to enter the gaming industry was so low?
Chen Shuhang arrived at the office building of Youxing Technology full of dreams of a job that pays well, demands little, and is close to home. He found the company’s location, but peering through the clear glass walls, he noticed that the office was eerily quiet—completely deserted.
Is this, is this a pyramid scheme...?
The youthful Chen Shuhang remembered his mother’s warnings and feared that he was sold to some remote border country in southwestern Hua Country, which made him shiver with cold.
Just as he was about to turn back, someone suddenly patted his shoulder from behind.
"Hello..."
"Aaaaahhhh!"
Chen Shuhang’s scream startled the man behind him into also screaming, and after a moment of panicked flailing, the man finally calmed down and picked up his glasses from the ground.
"Are you here for the interview?"
"Ah… yes, yes I am."
"Come on in."
The man led Chen Shuhang into the room.
"Does your company not have any other employees?"
"Ah... we’re still in the process of expanding, but currently there are no other executive staff."
The man scratched his head awkwardly, turned, and led Chen Shuhang into the interview room. "Please have a seat here; our interview will start soon."

The man slowly closed the door of the interview room.
And with it, Chen Shuhang’s heart also hung in suspense.
Chen Shuhang’s heart was in his throat.
Sweating, he was now pondering—
Because what the man just said had already revealed an undeniably strange fact.
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
This company couldn’t possibly be the real Youxing Studio that released the "Dragon Slayer" series!
With the scale of the "Dragon Slayer" series, maintaining the consistency in gameplay and artistic style across three titles, Chen Shuhang figured they would need at least forty to fifty people.
Even taking into account today’s tools that simplify processes, they would still need a minimum of twenty people.
Just one person handling everything?
Are you kidding me!
And that top-level art, let alone the complexity of designing it, not to mention the hundred-plus types of multicolored monsters.
How could one person possibly manage all that?
I can’t just sit here and wait for doom; better head back early.
Chen Shuhang was about to leave when suddenly the door to the interview room opened.
The two teenagers who appeared in front of Chen Shuhang contrasted sharply with the disheveled man from earlier.
It was like...
They were from two different worlds!
One was extraordinarily handsome, and the other was stunningly beautiful.
And the incredibly beautiful girl was even wearing black silk stockings!
Suddenly, Chen Shuhang felt as if the company had elevated to a more upscale level!
After noticing those top-tier black stockings, the 21-year-old vigorous Chen Shuhang suddenly became very determined:
I want to work at this company until I’m 70 and have to retire late!
I mean, they both look so young... making me, a young college graduate, seem old.
Feels like... they are of high school age!
Can’t be high school students making games, right?
But even if they were high school students, how could they handle such complex artwork?
Maybe they are interns? That could be possible...
That made him think, perhaps this location was just a newly established division, which is why there were so few people...
Yeah, that’s probably it.
As Chen Shuhang was mentally filling in the blanks, Fang You began to speak slowly:
"Hello, I am Fang You, the person in charge of Youxing Technology, you can call me You You."
The person in charge?
Fang You?
You You?
I feel like I’ve heard this name before... it seems familiar.
Where have I heard it before?
Suddenly, the formally dressed young woman adjusted her glasses, put on a cool tone, and continued after Fang You:
"Hello, I’m Xia Nuo, the Human Resources Director at Youxing Technology, you can call me—"
The woman paused to think for a moment and then said, "You can call me Biancuisi·Dorothy·Magnolia·von·Violet, um..."
