Chapter 5

She thought to herself, "I had anticipated being asked this question long ago," and upon hearing it, she remained composed: "It is like this, during university, I had a very close boyfriend. After he graduated, he entered the gaming industry, and in order to follow in his footsteps, I also joined the gaming industry. At that time, we were planning to get married, and since he often needed to work overtime, I devoted a lot of my attention to him, which inevitably led to neglecting my work. However, I have now decided to start anew, which is why I left Shangfang and chose a new beginning.

"How did the interview go? There shouldn't be any suspense, right?" Bai Ze asked.

Wang Yue noticed her appearance and realized that there was more to the story, and it was clear that the issue did not lie with the applicant. He furrowed his brow, intending to find something to smooth over the situation, but Bai Ze was not willing to let it go so easily.

Lisa hesitated, as she could not report to the boss that it was the supervisor who was against Youjia. The local official is not as effective as the current manager; this might not necessarily earn her favor in front of the big boss, and could instead offend the supervisor

At present, she does not have more money to spend on her appearance, and the position she is about to apply for is just a very ordinary customer service representative. If she dresses too flamboyantly, and the interviewer happens to be a woman, the effect could easily backfire. Therefore, it is sufficient to be tidy and neat. The focus should be on preparing for some questions that may be raised during the interview, and Youjia has made considerable preparations for this.

Bai Ze: "I do not have such a mediocre friend"

"You're welcome, I'll see you out." Lisa smiled at her apologetically

Unwillingness to accept defeat ignited her fighting spirit, and Yu Jia dared not be careless or perfunctory about the upcoming interview

"Alright, Youjia." Lisa did not waste any words, "I have reviewed your resume before; you worked at Shangfang, correct?"

"What are you doing here?" You Jia looked up and said in surprise upon seeing the visitor

Lisa smiled and said, "Let me first tell you about some of the company's regulations..."

Wang Yue, upon receiving the pleading gaze of a subordinate, said: "Lisa, are there any aspects of her application that do not meet the requirements?"

What exactly does she not meet the requirements for, speak up!" Young Master Bai said coldly and aggressively, "I only just realized that Feilong's HR is so unprofessional, hiring people entirely based on personal preferences. With an HR like you, all the talent is being pushed to other companies. No wonder Feilong has made little progress after more than a year since its establishment. To be honest, you must be an undercover agent sent by another company, right?

Before she could finish her sentence, the internal phone rang. Lisa answered the call, spoke a few words, and then said to You Jia: "I apologize, my supervisor needs me for something urgent. Please wait here for a moment, I will be back shortly"

As soon as Lisa left, You Jia could no longer contain her joyful smile

Upon seeing her reaction, You Jia became increasingly certain of his thoughts and hurriedly said: "Is it possible that there is an issue with my resume"

It turns out he is one of the bosses, no wonder he belittles the company to the point of being worthless, and the big boss is not angry either

Yes

Faced with the doubts of her two bosses, Lisa no longer cared about offending her supervisor and immediately stated the reasons.

You Jia searched online for Feilong Company and discovered that it is a game company that was established only last year. Although it is not large in scale, it has released two online games, one web game and one mobile game, both of which have received positive feedback. This has provided Feilong with a good start and a favorable reputation in the industry

What struck her the hardest was not being abandoned by Feilong, but rather the realization that Ren Jing had entered society later than she did, yet had already accumulated a far greater network of connections. In contrast, she felt as if she had wasted her life.

Shangfang has a small cluster of buildings in the city's technology industrial park. Although Feilong cannot compete with its financial strength, the company is located in a building in the city center CBD area, occupying almost two floors. The interior decoration is novel and stylish, and the receptionist is sweet and charming. Upon hearing about Youjia's purpose for coming, she guided her to the reception room to rest and handed her a form to fill out

Yes

We have already broken up

I apologize for keeping you waiting. Lisa said with a smile, Let's do this, you go back first. I still need to consult with my supervisor regarding the recruitment matter. We will inform you promptly if there is any news.

Lisa did not know Boze, but she saw him walking with the big boss of Feilong, clearly a friend of the boss, and could not help but glance at him

Lisa: "So, are you and your boyfriend now..."

It seems that all the pain was completely released that night. When I think of the name Yu Tao again, although there will still be a slight ache, it is by no means a lingering nostalgia for that scoundrel, but rather a lament for my own lack of discernment in having misjudged a person

Ren Jing looked at her silhouette, revealing a hint of a cold smile

It can be said that what lies before Youjia is a situation that is both awkward and difficult, yet the more so it is, the more she feels unwilling to accept it. Why should I toil and bear hardships for a man, only to end up with such a conclusion? Why is it that after that man discarded me, he can still succeed in both career and romance, while I cannot even find a job?

To speak frankly, Lisa has a very good impression of Youjia. Before Youjia arrived, the HR manager had also reviewed Youjia's resume and placed great importance on her four years of work at Shangfang. Otherwise, Lisa would not have mentioned that she could become a team leader after the probation period. Thinking of this, seeing Youjia's slightly anxious expression, Lisa couldn't help but feel a bit sympathetic: "Actually, just now the manager called me over. It is said that your former supervisor called her and informed her that you had a very poor relationship with your colleagues at Shangfang, so..."

Lisa: "Shangfang is a company with substantial strength. As far as I know, the internal promotion system for employees is also very well-established. I am quite curious, you have worked there for four years, yet you are still an ordinary customer service representative?"

Youjia told herself to pull herself together, but she couldn't help feeling a sense of loss as if something had been gained and then lost again. With her head down and hurried steps, she was filled with weariness until she noticed Lisa ahead slowing down, seemingly greeting someone else. She almost bumped into the back of Lisa before she quickly came to a stop.

With this sentence, You Jia found herself astonishingly calm

Although the reality is that Youjia has not officially started her job yet, it does not prevent her from indulging in a little daydreaming.

City G is a municipality directly under the central government, with a developed economy, and many internet companies have chosen to establish their headquarters in City G, making related job opportunities relatively easy to find. However, for You Jia, even obtaining an ordinary customer service position is not easy. Not to mention that she has no significant achievements after four years of work, her age, around twenty-six or twenty-seven, is also a concern. She is neither considered old nor young, and employers worry that she might soon leave to get married and have children, thus wasting the company's benefits without contributing any performance.

What is going on? asked the person next to Baize to Lisa

"Why can't I be here?" Boze raised an eyebrow in response, "Are you here for an interview?"

Lisa no longer needed to be concerned about the big boss's mood; she simply responded affirmatively and hurried off to find her supervisor. Clearly, it was not her who advocated against hiring, so why should she stay and take the blame

You Jia has held the same position for four years; even if she were to merely go through the motions, it would be impossible for her to know nothing. Moreover, during regular working hours, she is quite diligent and responsible, so she answers all work-related questions very well

She has been an ordinary customer service representative for four years at Shangfang, but as soon as she arrived here, a team leader position was waiting for her. It seems that the decision to change jobs was the right one. Without a boyfriend, she can focus more on her work, and perhaps in the future, she can strive for a managerial position.

She honestly told Boze that they hardly had any relationship. If one were to really count, Youjia actually owed Boze quite a favor. She was well aware that she and this wealthy second-generation individual were from completely different worlds. If it weren't for that chance encounter at the bar, the two of them might not have had any intersection at all. Yet now, Boze was actually willing to stand up for someone he had just met.

This statement is half true and half false, especially since she would not bring up chaotic reasons such as internal competition between Ren Jing and her former employer, as that would only make the interviewer feel that she is ungrateful. Therefore, she chooses to look for reasons within herself

Youjia nodded and said, "It's alright, you go ahead with what you're doing."

Bai Ze let out a cold laugh and said, "Call your supervisor over."

You Jia tugged at the corner of her mouth, clearly unwilling to say much

Moved like a sailboat, instantly turning to ashes and smoke

This is truly an unexpected joy, and Youjia had no reason to refuse, promptly saying: "I am very happy to become a member of the Flying Dragon!"

The IT circle is not that big; people often jump around and are bound to encounter acquaintances. Ren Jing is someone who knows how to navigate social situations, so it is not surprising that she has connections with people here. It is unfortunate that I happened to run into her; otherwise, once I start my job, she would have no opportunity to create obstacles for me.

Bai Ze immediately sensed the problem: "She graduated with a bachelor's degree and has worked as a customer service representative for four years. She is more than qualified for this position. How come I didn't know that Feilong's requirements have become so high now?"

Youjia felt a sudden jolt in her heart. Just a moment ago, everything was going well, so how did it suddenly turn into waiting for news?

Lisa nodded in understanding, offering her a smile of apology, and did not pursue the matter further. Instead, she changed the subject and inquired about some work related to game customer service

It seems I have to look for another opportunity again, You Jia sighed inwardly, considering herself unfortunate, yet she still had to force a smile on her face: "I understand, thank you."

You Jia : `` ... ... ''

Both individuals were taken aback

Lisa was taken aback by the sudden interrogation, unsure of how to respond

Youjia stood up and greeted her

These words were expressed in a tactful and appropriate manner, and a look of regret appeared on Lisa's face as she hesitated and said, "It's not that you are at fault..."

Youjia thought for a moment, then rephrased and said sincerely: "Lisa, I realize that my question may come off as a bit abrupt, but I would like to know, we were clearly having a good conversation just now, and I believe I did not behave inappropriately. If there is anything I did wrong, I would appreciate your guidance. If Feilong does not hire me, I can understand, but I would like to know my shortcomings to avoid making the same mistakes in future interviews"

Boss Wang coughed lightly at the right moment and said: "Lisa, let me introduce you. This gentleman's surname is Bai, and you can call him Young Master Bai. He is also one of the investors in Feilong."

Both parties took their seats

Lisa was clearly very satisfied. She said to You Jia: "Although the scale of Feilong is not as large as Shangfang, it is precisely because we have only just started that there is greater room for employee development. We warmly welcome experienced individuals like you to join us. If you successfully pass the probation period, we hope you can take on the role of call group leader in the customer service department, with a monthly salary of 4,500, excluding performance bonuses. What do you think?"

The other party is also an online gaming company called Feilong, a name that is quite grand. However, compared to the previous company Yu Jia worked for, Shangfang, it can at best be considered a rising star.

Youjia followed Lisa out, not wanting to say a word more

You Jia felt a sense of bad luck and had no desire to waste words with her, simply passing by without a word

She is not foolish; what had been settled suddenly changed due to the other party's unexpected shift in stance, clearly indicating that something unforeseen occurred in the intermediary process

Her words were not finished, but Youjia had already understood completely

When the big boss spoke, Lisa naturally had to respond: "This young lady has come to apply for the customer service position, and we have asked her to wait for further notice."

Youjia felt a bit moved

Standing under the scorching sun, You Jia looked up at the skyscraper in front of her, silently encouraging herself, and then took a step forward to enter. As a result, she happened to bump into someone coming out from inside.

Wang Yue glanced at You Jia and smiled, saying, "Bai Shao, what a coincidence, your friend is here at Feilong for an interview. Aren't you going to introduce them?"

The other party reacted a few seconds faster than Youjia, first pausing in surprise, then raising an eyebrow: "Are you here for an interview?"

The other party's work efficiency is astonishing; before You Jia could finish filling out the form, a well-dressed young woman entered the reception room

Hello, Lisa, just call me Youjia

Hello, I am Lisa, the HR responsible for recruitment at Feilong. Please have a seat," the other party said with a beaming smile.

About ten minutes later, Lisa walked back in, still wearing a smile on her face, but You Jia keenly noticed that her smile was much fainter than before

Four years of affection, let it be regarded as a grand dream, fortunately, there is still an opportunity for correction
