Hu Jia Sheng flew first class, while Tang Nan Nan was in economy, so they didn't run into each other.
After the plane landed, Tang Nan Nan quickly spotted him in the crowd.
She had intended to surprise him and declare her stance, that she would rely on him from now on.
But he had headphones on the entire time, his gaze fixed forward, giving off an aura of unapproachability. He walked with long strides, and Tang Nan Nan felt self-conscious again.
After some thought, she decided it would be better to meet him during the interview tomorrow.
She still had over a hundred yuan on her, so finding a cheap hotel to stay in for the night was doable.
Once Hu Jia Sheng finished his work in Suzhou, he sent a work summary report to Zhan Bei Jue.
Zhan Bei Jue was very satisfied with his progress and report. He had already decided to appoint Hu Jia Sheng as the head of Grey Electric, so he had specifically come to Grey Electric today to hold a meeting with the high-level executives to announce his takeover of the company.
The meeting lasted for over an hour. At 09:20, Hu Jia Sheng emerged from the conference room. The HR supervisor informed him that several new employees were scheduled for interviews that day and asked him to come to the small conference room in five minutes.
Hu Jia Sheng agreed and returned to his office with his notebook.
As he passed by the entrance to the technical department, he was stopped by Engineer Zhang, who had been waiting in ambush.
"Engineer Hu, thank you for your hard work. You must be tired after being away on business for so long."
Engineer Zhang was the most seasoned veteran in the technical department and was originally the most promising candidate for promotion. Hu Jia Sheng had taken that opportunity away from him, so he particularly disliked him.
In previous meetings, he had shown the most hostility towards Hu Jia Sheng, and he had not even joined the business trip this time, showing his displeasure.
Hu Jia Sheng knew how much he disliked him, but he was surprised that he would approach him with an olive branch on their first meeting today.
He paused and politely nodded at Engineer Zhang.
"It's no trouble, it's what I should do. Is there something you need to discuss with me, Engineer Zhang?"
"Nothing really, you can rest assured that we'll handle the work, and we won't let you down!"
Engineer Zhang smiled obsequiously, inexplicably pledging his commitment.
"I heard you've officially taken over Grey Electric and will be our boss from now on. Congratulations, congratulations."
This man was quite adept at playing both sides.
Seeing that it was a done deal and there was no point in struggling, he had resigned himself to it and come to curry favor?
Hu Jia Sheng smiled, "You're too kind. I'll be counting on your support in the future, Engineer Zhang."
"Absolutely, absolutely. By the way, Engineer Hu, could I discuss something with you?"
He knew that unsolicited favors were often a sign of ulterior motives.
"Please, go ahead, Engineer Zhang."
Engineer Zhang leaned closer with a smile.
"Just now, when I went to the pantry to get water, I saw a group of young men and women sitting outside the small conference room for interviews. One of them, a long-haired beauty, was exceptionally beautiful and had an outstanding presence."
"Our department has been looking for an engineer's assistant for a long time and haven't filled the position yet."
"Besides, look at the technical department, it's like a monastery. We never see a hint of a girl all year round. The Yin and Yang are out of balance, and everyone lacks motivation when they work."
Hu Jia Sheng understood. So, he was asking for someone from him.
"I understand what you mean, Engineer Zhang, but this is about work, not finding a girlfriend. It's not as simple as hiring someone just because she's pretty and making you satisfied."
"Especially for a technical position, if her major isn't right, and she doesn't know anything, hiring a useless pretty face means you'll all have to do the work yourselves. How long can everyone stay happy then?"
Engineer Zhang said earnestly.
"You don't need to worry about that, Engineer Hu. Just be responsible for recruiting her. As for training, that's all on me. I guarantee I'll train her well, and she won't be getting paid for nothing."
"Think of it as helping me find a partner. Look at me, I'm so old and busy with work every day, it's so hard to find a girlfriend. Please help me out."
Hu Jia Sheng smiled, "I understand. I'll keep an eye on her. As long as she's not too out of line, I'll help."
"Thank you, thank you. I'll wait for your good news then."
Five minutes later, Hu Jia Sheng went to the small conference room.
As he passed the pantry, he saw many young men and women crowded in the corridor, some standing, some sitting.
He walked straight ahead, pushed open the door of the conference room, and sat in the general manager's seat.
The HR department soon announced that the interviews had begun.
The interviews were all the same, asking about education, work experience, views on the industry, future career plans...
To be honest, besides filtering by education, it all came down to who could talk the best.
After a dozen interviews, they were all repetitive, making everyone tired and bored.
Hu Jia Sheng didn't want his morning to be wasted like this. He told HR that they would have one more interview, as he had to return to his office at 11 o'clock. The rest would be conducted in the afternoon. HR agreed.
Soon, a beautiful woman walked in.
Even without looking up, Hu Jia Sheng could sense the change in the atmosphere around him.
Everyone who had been drowsy and listless suddenly sat up straight, some even clearing their throats as if preparing to speak at length.
Hu Jia Sheng opened her profile on his computer and then looked up at her.
It was indeed her, Tang Nan Nan.
Her profile stated that she had graduated from Suzhou University with a major in Mechatronics.
Hu Jia Sheng had jokingly told her to submit a fake resume, and she actually did?
And she submitted it to him?
Could it be that the beautiful woman Engineer Zhang mentioned was her?
The interview had already begun. HR asked Tang Nan Nan to introduce herself. Hu Jia Sheng stared at her familiar face, listening to her unfamiliar life experiences, and a sense of inexplicable anger welled up within him.
So, she was confident that he would help her, which was why she had specifically tracked him down and was spouting nonsense?
Or was it that her intentions were not good from the moment she approached him?
Hu Jia Sheng knew she was smart, but he disliked her misusing her intelligence.
Being too smart could turn into cunning, and he didn't like that kind of woman.
However, he also couldn't bear to see her embarrass herself in public. It was natural for men to be drawn to beautiful women, and Hu Jia Sheng was a straightforward man.
Because of her sweet appearance, everyone was very interested in her.
The director of the production department even started chatting with her about her school, saying that their school had produced several industry bigwigs, and asked if she had heard of them and what her views were on their success.
Tang Nan Nan had never attended Suzhou University and didn't know much about the Mechatronics major. When spoken to like this, her expression became instantly subtle.
Just as she was experiencing a storm in her heart and frantically preparing her words, Hu Jia Sheng pretended to be indifferent and steered the conversation away.
"Let's talk about something more meaningful. Have you had any assistant positions before? If you were to be a technical assistant, do you think you could handle it?"
This question was much easier to answer than the previous one.
Tang Nan Nan had won a gold medal in a national essay competition. Answering this kind of question was a piece of cake for her, wasn't it?
Her eyes rolled, and flowery words poured out.
A torrent of eloquent speech followed, and everyone nodded in satisfaction.
Aside from the fabricated education, there was truly nothing to fault.
Moreover, with Engineer Zhang's prior request, Hu Jia Sheng ultimately gave her a chance.
