If You Could Hear My Heart-Chapter 420 - : The Current Young Girls are really Unserious
Chapter 420: Chapter 420: The Current Young Girls are really Unserious
Looking at the building, a smile spilled over the corners of her mouth.
She hoped that Shen’s would keep getting better and that his career would reach even greater heights.
No matter how many barriers stood between them, no matter how often they had fought, whether in the past or the future, she always hoped he was doing well, and she hoped Shen’s was doing well too.
As for everything else, well… leave it to fate.
Xu Chaomu took the elevator from the first floor to the human resources department on the tenth floor, as per the arranged meeting place.
The lobby of Shen’s on the first floor was very impressive, with dazzling crystal chandeliers, towering columns, and sleek, bright floor tiles. When Xu Chaomu walked across them in her leather shoes, she could see her own reflection.
The lobby was constantly bustling with people, and several handsome young men stood as greeters at the entrance.
There was also the reception, staffed by orderly young ladies, each wearing a blue name tag and sporting a slight smile, the standard corporate expression.
Xu Chaomu wasn’t interested in the ladies, but she was quite intrigued by the handsome men.
She noticed that Shen’s had a real abundance of good-looking guys, and they were all quite tall.
Their perfect physiques were framed by crisp suits, and their handsome faces were hard to look away from.
Xu Chaomu swallowed hard, her eyes practically glued to them.
Indeed, domestic hunks were more attractive.
After being in Paris and seeing an abundance of blond-haired, blue-eyed handsome men, she always felt that they lacked something. Perhaps it was the blood coursing through their veins that was different; she didn’t find foreign hunks particularly pleasing to the eye.
It had been five years since she had seen so many handsome men, so she couldn’t help taking a few extra peeks while on the first floor.
But that was all she did—after a few glances, she headed up to the tenth floor.
No matter how much she denied it verbally, in her heart, there was still one man who she thought was the most attractive.
She hadn’t expected so many people to come for job interviews. The waiting room was packed full of people; there weren’t enough sofas and chairs to seat everyone, some were standing, and others simply sat on the floor.
Everyone was holding a stack of thick documents, some quietly reviewing interview questions, others chatting softly, and some were sorting through their own materials.
But one young woman, dressed in a cool camisole dress, was holding forth impressively.
“My dad has already put in a good word for me; the chief examiner for this interview has been a friend of my dad’s for many years—they are really tight. Just last night, they were drinking together. Of course, that’s not all, I also graduated as a high-achieving student from Harvard University.”
“My design work has even been praised by Mr. Geoff Fitzpatrick, and I have attended various international design conferences multiple times.”
The woman looked down on the other interviewees with arrogant disdain.
Everyone looked on with admiration, “Oh, what position are you interviewing for?”
“Design.”
Those not applying to the design department sighed in relief, “Good thing I’m not in design; I’m applying for the marketing department.”
“Me neither, I’m applying for the publicity department. Otherwise, with such a formidable opponent, there would be no chance.”
“Luckily for me as well, I’m applying for the copywriting department.”
Each seemed to breathe a sigh of relief as if to calm themselves because the woman did not seem easy to compete with.
The few applying for the design department had gloomy expressions: “Oh no, we definitely have no chance.”
Just then, the door to the interview room opened, and a girl came out, looking dejected and pinching her resume.
“How did it go, how did it go?” a crowd rushed up to ask.
The boastful woman said with disdain, “What else could it be? I told you, those who applied for design might as well go home early, go home and get an early dinner, pack up and apply to other companies. Can anything change after my dad’s involvement? Besides, they’re only hiring one person for the design department this time.”
The woman flicked her nails, not even bothering to look up.
Xu Chaomu glanced down and saw, oh, she had applied for the design department too.
Hearing the woman speak like that, the others began whispering among themselves, “Even Shen Group engages in such nepotism, pre-arranging interviews?”
“Seems like the girls applying for the design department don’t stand a chance now.”
“Exactly, who knows what this woman’s background is?”
“Might as well go home and sleep it off.”
Some people began to leave the waiting room, and the morale quickly scattered; the boastful woman was even more triumphant.
Just then, a guy approached Xu Chaomu and glanced at her resume, “That’s a pretty good university. I have a very good friend who is from that school.”
“Is that so? Well, the school is great in every other way, but the academic atmosphere is so intense, it’s hard not to study even if you don’t want to,” Xu Chaomu said with a smile.
“True, my friend was just hired there as a teacher, and he’s told me the same thing.”
The guy casually struck up a conversation with Xu Chaomu, and suddenly she didn’t feel so bored anymore.
Meanwhile, the boastful woman came over and glanced at Xu Chaomu, “Yo, what kind of university is it that you’re blowing it up like that?”
“It’s nothing,” Xu Chaomu didn’t want to deal with her.
But the woman was surprisingly forward, grabbing Xu Chaomu’s resume to look at it, “Yo, also applying for design, huh? There really are those who aren’t afraid of death. But this resume is really subpar. Hey, isn’t it stated in the application requirements that you should have at least two years of experience? You’ve only had less than a year of internships, how did you even get in?”
Xu Chaomu snatched back her resume and snorted with a laugh, “Mind your own business.”
Ugh, it must have been Shen Chi pulling some strings.
The guy frowned slightly and hinted pointedly, “Shen Group has always valued capability; lack of experience can be gradually accumulated, but character and manners can’t be changed overnight. Besides, the two years of work experience isn’t a strict requirement. I’ve heard that as long as someone performs exceptionally well, they can be hired regardless of normal standards.”
“Oh, you just met her and you’re already speaking up for her? Are you two hooking up? Girls these days really aren’t proper,” the woman sneered.
“Enough already, youcanyouup, nocannobb! Just stop barking,” Xu Chaomu snapped, annoyed.
She had just learned a fancy and trendy new saying, “youcanyouup, nocannobb,” which seemed quite fitting to use in this situation.
The guy chuckled; to deal with such a woman, you had to be ruthless.
Indeed, the woman’s face turned from red to white, looking highly embarrassed.
But the woman had already bragged quite a bit, so of course, she had to stand by it.
She looked Xu Chaomu up and down, smirking, “Your name is Xu Chaomu, right? I’ll remember you. By the way, do you know who my dad is? He’s the Director of the C City Business Bureau, someone whom even the President of Shen Group wouldn’t dare to offend! Dare to insult me? Just wait until I come out of the interview; I’ll make sure you regret it!” freēnovelkiss.com
Xu Chaomu racked her brains; were there really people in C City that Shen Chi wouldn’t dare to offend?
“Just look at yourself, can’t you even bother to use a mirror?” The woman shot her words out rapidly, “Applying for a design position and you can’t even wear high heels properly. Coming to a job interview dressed like this, aren’t you embarrassed to say you studied design?”
