Chapter 842 Only You Meet the Mark
"Answer it quickly, don't just stand there! You're penniless, what could they possibly scam you out of?"
Diao Chan rolled her eyes at Qianqian; how hurtful! Qianqian stopped driving and waited by the roadside for Diao Chan to answer the phone! After all, a guaranteed 2 yuan—if that were true, she'd definitely have a few drinks tonight!
Before Diao Chan could even speak after the call connected, the voice on the other end became even more cloying: "Oh, number 8, I'm so sorry, there might have been a problem with the line just now!"
"Mmm!" Diao Chan couldn't admit that she subconsciously thought Diao Chan was a scammer and hung up on her!
"Number 8, did you hear what I just said? Do you have any opinions? If so, please feel free to speak up!"
It wasn't that Diao Chan was suspicious; it was just that this director's "gentleness" was somewhat eerie!
"Director, I have a question."
"Tell me, tell me—"
"The company is currently closed and already operating at a loss, so why are we being treated so well?"
Hearing Diao Chan's question, Qianqian and Sister Juan wanted nothing more than to cover her mouth. "Are you stupid? Are you stupid? Giving money is good enough! What if you ask her questions and then she doesn't give it to you?"
"Number 8, you've misunderstood me."
The people in the car tensed up. What misunderstanding?
Not everyone has it.
This really made us nervous. It wasn't everyone; who was on the list? Were we even on it? Sister Juan and the others immediately craned their necks, signaling Diao Chan to ask for clarification!
"What conditions need to be met?" Diao Chan didn't want to ask, but she couldn't resist the overwhelming public opinion around her!
"Uh—", the director was clearly surprised by the question, and after thinking for a moment, replied, "First and foremost, it's about hard work."
Sister Juan and Qianqian exchanged a glance. They both definitely met this criterion—almost never taking a day off, and even voluntarily working overtime. As for Diao Chan, she was probably the least likely to meet the standard in the entire company. If Diao Chan could do it, then so could they!
"Secondly, it's because of its outstanding performance!"
It's all settled! Sister Juan and the others all outperformed Diao Chan.
Finally, it's about having a spirit of dedication!
This... talking about dedication with Diao Chan? Sister Juan and Qianqian weren't sure if their understanding of dedication was the same as the director's. But Diao Chan, who wouldn't even let guests touch her hands or offer extra time, what kind of dedication was that? She treated her guests like puppets!
Looking at myself and Qianqian, as long as the guests don't go too far, it's not unacceptable for them to touch my thigh occasionally!
Good! This way, we're more secure!
Diao Chan listened with a strange expression. Was this director here to mock her? If these points were the standard, wouldn't she be a perfect example of what not to do?
"Then wouldn't that mean many people qualify?"
Sister Juan, Qianqian, and the others completely relaxed!
"No, number 8, only you fit the bill."
"."
"Director, am I not qualified?"
"No, only you qualify!" the director emphasized again.
Diao Chan was confused, and the others were dumbfounded. What the hell was this? Wasn't this blatant special treatment? All those previous reasons were nonsense; the director had no idea about Diao Chan's performance.
"Is that alright?" Diao Chan's silence made the HR director a little nervous, so he asked again.
"I don't want to—"
Ah~~~
Sister Juan gasped softly, quickly covering her mouth with her hand. "Take 2 yuan? Is this money too hot to handle?"
"I will not accept rewards without merit; I will not accept what is not rightfully mine!"
The director panicked, "It's yours! It's yours!"
Diao Chan shook her head: "Thank you, leader, but I don't want it. Unless everyone gets one."
The director was speechless. "This was specifically instructed by the boss. Why should anyone else be qualified? Do they even deserve it?"
Diao Chan refused, and surprisingly, none of the people around her tried to dissuade her. They even felt much better; this is the principle of "not worrying about scarcity, but worrying about inequality!"
Qianqian started the car, and couldn't help but say sourly, "Xiaochan, it feels like you're the pillar of the company, and we're just the beasts of burden!"
"If someone like me were a pillar of the company, the company would collapse!"
"Ptooey, ptooey—"
Diao Chan's phone rang again, and everyone looked over, thinking it was the director calling again.
"It's my cousin's," Diao Chan quickly explained when she saw them craning their necks again.
Answering the phone: "Hello—"
"Xiao Chan, your cousin is getting married the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come with me in this car?"
“Sure—”, she’ll definitely go back for her cousin Diao Chan’s wedding. Besides, Tianchi Hot Spring is currently closed for renovations, so she has plenty of time.
"Where shall we meet then?"
I'll take a taxi to find you.
"Oh, Xiao Chan, I've moved. I've moved to an electronics and technology innovation town in the suburbs."
"Electronic Science and Technology Innovation Town? Where is it?"
Before her cousin could reply, Qianqian, who was driving, interjected, "I know that place. We'll be passing by there in 20 minutes!"
Having probably heard Qianqian's words, Diao Chan's cousin exclaimed, "Xiao Chan, you're passing by here right away? I'm having an interview here. After I'm done, I'll treat you and your friends to dinner!"
"Wow, someone's treating us to dinner! Great, great!" Qianqian joked.
Diao Chan was speechless: "We're all girls, what are you getting involved for?"
It would have been better if he hadn't mentioned it; the more he did, the more excited his cousin became, insisting on treating everyone. Sister Juan, standing ahead, said, "It's alright, we're all family, let's have a meal together!"
"Yeah, we're free anyway. Your cousin's a high-tech talent, let's see what he's got!"
Diao Chan rolled her eyes. What high-tech talent? He's just a slacker!
"Okay, your interview is over. Let's have lunch together! We'll be waiting for you at the Electronic Science and Technology Innovation Town soon."
"Okay, okay, my interview is coming up soon, I'll be out in no time!"
After her cousin hung up the phone, Diao Chan shook her head inwardly. He came out so quickly—was he too confident in himself, or simply lacking confidence? Logically, if the interview went well, it should have taken a long time!
Jiangzhou's Electronic Science and Technology Innovation Town is a high-tech incubator project in the development zone, mainly targeting startups in fields such as AI and robotics.
Qianqian drove to the science and technology innovation town. "It's so far away, are there really any companies willing to come here?"
"Hey, look—", Sister Juan pointed to the electronic screen on the grand hall of the Science and Technology Innovation Town: [Warmly welcome the leaders of Zhifei Aerospace to visit and guide our work] "Zhifei Aerospace? Such a behemoth company would come here?" As a Jiangzhou native, she naturally knew the strength of Zhifei Aerospace!
"Hey, look, isn't that Old Cha?" Sister Juan exclaimed in surprise!
Diao Chan and Qianqian looked in the direction she was pointing and saw a staff member in work clothes introducing the planning of the science and technology town and some of the town's existing star companies in front of a large screen. Lao Cha was among them, and there were several distinguished middle-aged men beside him!
"Xiao Chan, go say hello, they're all acquaintances!" Qianqian genuinely wanted to get close to Lao Cha. Even though he was a security guard, he was a wealthy one!
"Go where? Can't you see he's working?" Diao Chan didn't want to go. Besides, those middle-aged men had an imposing presence; they were clearly from a public institution. Cha Lan was probably accompanying a leader, but this guy was so clueless—how could he stand in the middle? If he doesn't even understand basic etiquette, he won't even be a security guard one day!
As they were talking, Cha Lan suddenly turned around, paused for a moment, and clearly also noticed Diao Chan and the others!
He quietly greeted the people beside him and then walked over here!
"Hey, Old Cha is a nice guy, quite polite." Qianqian looked at Cha Lan who was walking quickly towards her. She subconsciously picked up her phone, turned on the camera, and checked her makeup, hoping to be in the best possible condition to face this wealthy old security guard!
"Hello~!" Cha Lan said "you", but she was looking at Diao Chan!
"Hey old Cha, how are you?"
"Old Cha—"
The girl on the 23rd, who had bought 2500 hours of entertainment, had stars in her eyes. Qianqian and Sister Juan weren't going to be outdone!
Diao Chan nodded: "You work here?"
Cha Lan paused for a moment, then realized that they had assumed he was a security guard. He then smiled and said, "Yes, are you accompanying the leaders to a guided tour?"
Qianqian, who had been struggling to get a word in edgewise, chimed in: "Xiao Chan's cousin is here for an interview. Let's wait for him to have dinner together."
"An interview?" Cha Lan's heart skipped a beat.
"Yes, my cousin said that Zhifei Aerospace has a research institute here, and he's here for a research fellow interview."
"Zhifei Aerospace's Low-Altitude Flight Research Institute?"
"Wow, Lao Cha, you really know a lot!" Although Cha Lan ignored her, Qianqian persisted!
Cha Lan smiled; it would be a miracle if he didn't know! "What's your cousin's name?"
Although she felt that Lao Cha was being too nosy, Diao Chan still answered, "My name is Diao Nan!!"
puff--
But number 23 burst out laughing!
"I'm sorry. I'm sorry, I don't know if this name will cause me any trouble in the future?"
Diao Chan was a little annoyed. Her grandfather had given her several family members names, each one more witty than the last! Her name was Diao Chan, but she was constantly being jokingly called "Diao Chan" (a legendary beauty). Her cousin, on the other hand, was truly being bullied! Because of this, she was slightly closer to her cousin.
"Alright, Lao Cha, go ahead and do your work. Don't let the boss get upset and dock your pay!"
After the inspection, they left. Following the guide in work clothes, they walked into the science and technology town. Sister Juan fell into deep thought.
"Sister Juan, what are you thinking about?"
"I think one of those leaders looks very familiar."
"Is he your guest?" asked number 23.
Sister Juan pondered for a while, then suddenly a glint of light flashed in her eyes: "I recognize him, he is..." A hint of horror appeared on her face.
"Who is it?"
"I saw the big boss from Jiangzhou on the Jiangzhou news broadcast!"
hiss--
As soon as Sister Juan said that, the others immediately recognized him. "That's right, it's him, it really is him!"
The shock on Number 23's face lingered for a long time: "Old Cha's security guard job is really classy, actually being able to accompany such a high-ranking leader. You know, the big boss from Jiangzhou is already an elder in Hanjiang Province!"
"It's just a chance to accompany her, you guys are exaggerating!" Diao Chan always had an indifferent attitude towards these things.
"My goodness, Xiao Chan, you're so heartless! What an honor this is! When you see Lao Cha later, ask him, and he'll definitely think it's a great honor for him!"
Inside the science and technology innovation town, the park director led the way, saying, "Distinguished leaders, lunch has been prepared at the park's canteen."
After checking the time, he said, "In that case, I'm sorry to have bothered you!"
The big boss from Jiangzhou laughed heartily: "It's our honor to have the opportunity to have a meal with President Cha!"
While there was an element of joking involved, given his current status, he absolutely deserves the title! He also has another layer of prestige: as a big shot in Jiangzhou, who doesn't know about his relationship with that mysterious big boss of Junxiao Group!
In the lobby of the Science and Technology Innovation Town, Sister Juan and her friends were still chatting about the big boss from Jiangzhou and Cha Lan's "honor" when Diao Chan spotted Diao Nan coming out with a nonchalant attitude from afar!
"Wow, Xiao Chan, your cousin is really handsome!"
Isn't that obvious? If it weren't for good family genes, how could Diao Chan be so beautiful? How bad could her cousin be?
As Diao Nan approached, she saw Diao Chan's colleagues and felt somewhat disappointed. Wasn't it said that beautiful women's friends were mostly beautiful women themselves? Why did her cousin's colleagues seem almost unbearable to look at compared to her?
"Your interview went so quickly, how did it go?" Diao Chan asked with concern.
"Ugh, don't even mention it. I felt like the interviewer was deliberately making things difficult for me. I had to say that it was all my grandfather's fault, and I even considered changing my name!"
She rolled her eyes. "You're really something else." "Don't be discouraged, there might still be a chance!"
As they talked, the group walked outside together. Diao Nan's car, a Volkswagen Polo, was also in the parking lot!
"How could that be? There are four rounds of interviews, and I was over in the first round. What chance do I have? Forget it, the competition at companies like Zhifei Aerospace is too fierce. You have no idea. I thought I was pretty awesome because I graduated from a 985 university, but when I asked the others I interviewed with today, they were all PhDs. Isn't this bullying?!"
He wasn't eliminated in the first round? That meant there was absolutely no hope left. Just as Diao Chan was trying to think of something to comfort him, Diao Nan's phone rang—
Swipe to answer: "Hello!"
"Is this Mr. Diao Nan?"
"Yes, this is me. Who is this?" Because it was an unfamiliar number, Diao Nan didn't know who the other party was.
"I'm Xiao Qin from the Human Resources Department of Zhifei Aerospace."
Zhifei Aerospace? Human Resources Department? Could it be that I still have a chance for a second interview? Diao Nan's eyes lit up, and her voice was a little excited: "You...you've notified me of a second interview?"
"No, Mr. Diao!"
Uh--
The fire in Diao Nan's eyes went out; her last glimmer of hope was gone. "Then who were you looking for?"
"Here's the thing, Mr. Diao. You've been accepted by our Low-Altitude Flight Research Institute. The salary is 3+ RMB, plus six types of insurance and two types of housing funds. Details of other benefits are in the offer letter we sent you!"
pat!
Diao Nan's phone fell to the ground. What?! I wasn't accepted! I was accepted?! A base salary of 3+ RMB, plus six types of insurance and two types of housing funds!
Wait, could this be a scam? Four rounds of interviews, and this is only the first round, and I didn't even do well!
He quickly picked up his phone, and Xiao Qin's voice came through: "Hello, hello!" (End of Chapter)
