Section 4

Qi Yu happened to arrive at his office at this moment, requesting: "Manager Lin, may I continue to stay at the headquarters?"

* * * * * * * * * *

Cheng Xiao earnestly stated: "Matters concerning men should still be clearly distinguished."

During the summer solstice, she found a set of formal-looking skirt suits and realized she had lost weight, which left her feeling somewhat discouraged: "Both figure and appearance are too important. I love food just as much, yet you would be praised as a cute foodie for your beauty, while I would certainly be labeled as a dead fat glutton."

As the various bases prepared to bid farewell to the old and welcome the new, the Human Resources Department of China Southern Airlines officially notified the candidates of the schedule for the second round of interviews. Upon learning that the Vice President would personally interview her the next day, Xia Zhi immediately called Cheng Xiao, asking her for advice on her attire.

Airlines are always actively recruiting, and it seems that every position is prestigious. This year, China Southern Airlines has increased both the number of positions and the number of recruits compared to previous years, resulting in an overwhelming number of resumes for the HR department to sift through. Even the HR manager couldn't help but exclaim, "If I go blind from this, would it be considered a work-related injury?"

Cheng Xiao was temporarily relieved, raising an eyebrow in a gesture that seemed to say, "Please go ahead"

Summer Solstice ran back, excited as if discovering a new continent, and said: "Guess who I just saw?"

Xiao Fei was indifferent and said, "As you wish"

"It’s not that you are too thin, it’s that it makes me look so," shouted Xia Zhi on the phone. "This world should apologize to us fat people."

The young lady from the Human Resources Department quickly came to gather people again. She stood at the door and called out sweetly, "Lin Zhi, Wang Ning, Shen Yiyang, Lou Yilin, Xie Tong... Ye Yuno, please follow me." Before her words had finished, some individuals had already stood up one after another and walked towards the door.

Cheng Xiao raised her eyebrows: "Old Cheng is much more magnanimous than you; he always says: as long as you are doing better than him"

Cheng Xiao was at her mother Xiao Fei's place, standing by the window, basking in the afternoon sunlight. "Is it really necessary to be so formal? The interview is about talent, not looks."

The human resources manager waved his hands repeatedly, saying: "I should serve whoever's bowl I carry, and it is only right to be blind to it."

Lin Ziji felt troubled: "You should have been among those adjusted." However, it was evident to discerning individuals that he had intentions towards Qi Yu. Unfortunately, the falling flowers have intentions, but the flowing water is indifferent

At the summer solstice, I hum a tune: "I am not yet fat enough to roll around."

Cheng Xiao scanned the crowd with her gaze and took a seat in the position closest to the entrance

Cheng Xiao pressed her temple and said: "As long as you perform normally during the interview and don't get too nervous, there is hope"

Originally, he had not made any effort, and they were all around him. Now, however, it is different

Despite verbally rejecting Xia Zhi, Cheng Xiao still arrived on time at the headquarters of China Southern Airlines located in the Zhongnan Building opposite Sunshine Square on the day of her interview. Xia Zhi had just arrived as well, dressed in a fitted black suit paired with a simple white collared shirt, exuding a unique presence.

There is no time to look at anything else, as a hand has already reached over to take the data sheet away, "Thank you."

At that moment, Lin Ziji's phone rang. He saw the name displayed on the screen and smiled, saying, "What if it gets approved?" Then he answered, "Mr. Gu, do you want to see the pilot's resume? Alright, I will have the HR department send it to you right away."

In this year, China Southern Airlines has four bases under its domestic jurisdiction. In the first week after Gu Nanting was promoted to vice president, he requested the base management center to carry out personnel adjustments among the bases, implementing a comprehensive exchange of crew members to ensure that each base can inject fresh talent. This adjustment will be included in the annual personnel management.

* * * * * * * * * *

This year marks the first year of adjustments, coinciding with the annual recruitment. Lin Ziji is responsible not only for the allocation of existing cabin crew members but also for reviewing the training program for new recruits prepared by the service center, leaving him extremely busy

When presented with the document for signature, Gu Nan Ting seemed to overlook these details and signed without any questions, then asked: "Is that all there is to the pilot's resume?"

Summer solstice, calmly retouching makeup: "Notify me at ten o'clock"

Cheng Xiao always felt that she was unreasonably thin, "This year, I will accompany you."

At the age of forty-six, she looks even younger than thirty-six, and naturally, she does not lack for men. Cheng Xiao looked at the face in front of her, which resembled her own as if they were sisters, and said to *Tu* Shu: "If you have made up your mind not to want Lao Cheng anymore, you should do it sooner rather than later. The younger a woman is, the more appealing she becomes. If you wait a few more years, your marketability will definitely not be as good as it is now"

Cheng Xiao expressed her confusion: "Is it not enough for you to reject Old Cheng first, but you also expect others to remain chaste? One must always leave a way out for others"

Once again, it was Qiaoqino, and Lin Ziji instantly had the thought of issuing a missing person notice. He replied, "No. Would you like to take a look at the resumes of the three candidates first?"

Cheng Xiao corrected her, "He is not my idol, he is yours."

The HR manager muttered to himself, "Had I known this earlier, I would have studied aviation back in the day"

Xiao Fei does not believe at all: "He talks better than he acts"

Why did you call me here so early

* * * * * * * * * *

Xiao Fei's expression remained unchanged: "Next month, there will be a special interview at the company, and I have been losing weight to look good on camera"

Gu Nanting raised his head and gazed at the afterglow of the setting sun outside the window

* * * * * * * * * *

Cheng Xiao is glad that she did not drink water: "Which country's fat person do you think you are?"

In the past, because Lin Ziji was in management, Qi Yu was respectful and courteous in front of others, while privately pretending not to know his feelings. Now, she changed her usual demeanor and said in a spoiled tone: "All along, I have been aware of your care for me. Otherwise, someone like me, who is naive and lacks connections, would have been bullied to death by others long ago. So I am very worried that if I were to be transferred to an unfamiliar base, I might not be able to adapt in time"

Did he think that she was here for an interview

For the camera? Cheng Xiao is a bit speechless: "Are you hoping for a double success?"

Gu Nanting's gaze fell upon the package containing his documents that had just been delivered by the receptionist to his desk, deciding to take a gamble, betting that they would still come to his side

* * * * * * * * * *

Cheng Xiao stood at the entrance of the interview room and smiled

The summer solstice retracted its smile as it walked into the lounge in high heels, with Cheng Xiao closely following behind

She thought Gu Nanting was here for an interview? Wait a minute, when did Gu Nanting become her idol?

Lin Ziji certainly did not want to transfer her away, but thinking of the newly appointed Gu Nanting, he did not make any immediate promises, "The list for personnel allocation has not yet been finalized, I will report it to General Gu for approval and see."

Since she would find out sooner or later, Cheng Xiao decided to tell her that Gu Nanting was from China Southern Airlines. However, before she could speak, Xia Zhi, filled with exasperation, said: "Your idol has come to apply at China Southern Airlines, yet you are still fixated on Hainan Airlines. It truly is a case of fate not aligning."

After she left, Lin Ziji rubbed his temples and smiled, a bitter smile. However, knowing full well that she had ulterior motives and was not sincere, love still prevailed. When reporting the personnel list at the base management center, Lin Ziji still filled in Qi Yu's name in the headquarters column

Lin Ziji's understanding is: "The pilot is a technical expert, and General Gu, as a senior captain, naturally pays extra attention."

Almost half of the people remained in the lounge. Cheng Xiao, feeling bored, flipped through her phone and decided to go to the first floor for a cup of coffee while waiting for Xia Zhi. As she passed by the interview room, she heard the elevator nearby ding, and then Gu Nanting, dressed in a suit, walked out, exuding an air of composure and taking steady steps

Cheng Xiao continued the previous topic: "Once I finish the license renewal exam, I will take you for a physical examination."

The consideration during the summer solstice is: "Ultimately, we live in an era that values appearances. What if that vice president is a member of the appearance association, while I foolishly compete with others based on talent? How foolish am I?"

Many people have already been waiting inside, all of them young and beautiful girls. It goes without saying that these are all applicants for the flight attendant positions. Xia Zhi remarked, "The place with the most beautiful women in City G is the airline company; if you disagree, come and argue with me"

Her voice was like flowing water, and her face resembled—Cheng Xiao raised her gaze, and what met her eyes was a face with indifferent brows and eyes, exuding a cold demeanor. She slightly furrowed her brows and remained silent. The other party seemed to not require her response, stood up with the watch in hand, and walked out without casting a glance at her.

Is the future now determined by looks? For someone like me, who is exceptionally good-looking and hardworking, isn't the future bright? After the joke, Cheng Xiao seriously suggested: "A vice president in a high position shouldn't be so superficial; you just need to present yourself in a more mature and polished manner."

Cheng Xiao really wants to hit her and say: "Get lost!"

Cheng Xiao was first amused by anger: "As long as it suits you, that's enough. At my age, I'm not afraid of a stepmother, so why should I be afraid of a stepfather?"

The interview has already begun, and the candidates for the cabin crew are being taken to the interview room next door in groups of ten. As for the assistant vice president, there has been no notification yet. Cheng Xiao glanced at her watch; it was already 9:40. "Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Xiao Fei snorted: "If he is well, I cannot bear it"

Cheng Xiao has not arrived. The deadline for receiving resumes has been extended by a week, yet she still has not come.

Xiao Fei frowned: "What’s wrong with the child being a bit chubby? Does it look better to be as thin as you, with skin wrapped around bones?"

According to the latest regulations approved by Gu Nanting, the reassignment of crew members should take into account the employees' family locations as much as possible. This is because once reassigned, they will spend seven to eight months at the base in a year. For individuals like Qi Yu, who have served at the headquarters for over two years and whose home is not in City G, they are the first to be reassigned to other bases

One of the girls, fearing that she would fall behind and suffer losses, hurriedly rushed forward, accidentally bumping her elbow into a person next to her. With a loud crash, the documents that the bumped woman was holding fell to the ground.

The young lady from the Human Resources Department entered again and said: "Summer Solstice, please follow me"

"How do you know?" The Summer Solstice suddenly became interested: "Did you see him too?"

Cheng Xiao paused her steps

Qi Yu smiled gently like water, "Thank you, Manager Lin." She appeared completely satisfied with the approval of her application

Lin Ziji specifically confirmed with the HR manager before responding: "All pilot resumes up to today have been sent to you."

Though the words may be rough, the reasoning is sound. As someone who has been through it all, Xiao Fei naturally understands everything. She said: "Alright, I understand. Are you still worried that your mother won't be able to get married? If there's someone suitable, I'll help you find a stepfather, just to infuriate Old Cheng"

Not at all, how could that be? Are they teaming up to prank him?

Who else could the "acquaintance" encountered on China Southern Airlines be? Cheng Xiao lightly mentioned a name: "Gu Nanting"

Black slimming, long pants enhance beauty | Legs appear longer. Cheng Xiao nodded in appreciation: "The aura conquers the workplace, not bad."

Xiao Fei and the book were displeased: "I undergo a physical examination every year, why should you worry about it?"

Lin Ziji waited for a moment before asking: "The written test for the assistant has concluded, and the final round of interviews requires you ... ... "

The HR manager pondered while reviewing the pilot's resume: "Shouldn't Mr. Gu be focusing on his assistant instead?"

Cheng Xiao smiled and said, "You should take your medicine first"

Qi Yu leaned in, her hand seemingly brushing against Lin Ziji's, "I have also reached the age where my parents are urging me to marry. I truly do not wish to drift outside anymore. If possible, I hope Manager Lin will consider this."

She sat down beside her during the summer solstice: "Do we still need to distinguish between each other?"

Gu Nanting looked at her, his eyes exceptionally clear. Then, as he approached, he said in a calm voice: "Come in." As he spoke, he reached out and pushed open the door to the interview room.

No, Cheng Xiao smiled: "Disdain for the flesh on my body."

"White has hurt you." Xiao Fei poked her forehead and said, "If Old Cheng finds you a stepmother, you must let go and not allow them to have it easy."

Xia Zhi pointed at her with her finger and said: "Wait for me"

Lin Ziji truly expressed: "Shall I try to apply to General Manager Gu for you?"

A form had fallen at her feet. Cheng Xiao bent down to pick it up and saw the name in the upper left corner of the form: Ye Yuno

Gu Nanting suddenly thought of something and interrupted to ask, "Is there a Qiao Qino?"

Lin Ziji's gaze was fixed on her face without a moment's distraction, then he withdrew his hand, "I understand."

If it were someone else's daughter, she probably wouldn't have the courage to speak to her parents like that. However, Xiao Fei has already become accustomed to it. She淡淡地表示: "As long as I want to, I can still have a second chance without losing weight."

Cheng Xiao seemed to have thought of something, looking at Xiao Fei with a contemplative expression: "You seem to have lost weight, are you feeling unwell?"

I need enough time to calm down, otherwise I will be too anxious. "Xiazhi took a deep breath and said: "Shall we go visit the restroom together?"

The summer solstice thus instilled greater confidence: "Is it enough to stage a scene of the goddess?"

After she hung up the phone, Xiao Fei walked over and asked, "Is Xia Xia sick?"

Gu Nanting remained silent for a moment, a smile of deep secrecy appearing at the corners of his mouth, and he said: "No need."
