"This is perfect! I can do this!" Wang Hao's eyes almost sparkled with excitement. Just when he thought all hope was lost, a new opportunity had appeared! The assistant game planner position from earlier was clearly a dead end, but who would have thought such a suitable role would pop up here?
"Oh? Really?" Seeing how quickly Wang Hao agreed, the middle-aged man was somewhat surprised, "Have you thought it through? This job is just temporary; our company isn't responsible for permanent positions and the salary isn't high."
Generally speaking, everyone hopes to find long-term positions because they offer stability.
Therefore, nobody usually wants to be a temp, especially since this man already mentioned the low salary. The previous person quit because of the low pay, which means the salary for this position must indeed be quite low.
But why would Wang Hao care? All he needed was a stepping stone - a lower salary was fine as long as he had a job.
"No problem!" Wang Hao laughed, "Having work is better than staying home doing nothing, right? If you have no objections, then I'll take the job?" After saying this, Wang Hao suddenly paused and then asked softly, "But... my educational background isn't enough. I only graduated from a vocational school, you see..."
Education was not something that could be hidden, so Wang Hao had to clarify this upfront to avoid being kicked out later.
"Hm, not enough education?" The man frowned, thought for a moment, then looked at Wang Hao, saying, "Indeed, that's a problem." He might have been tired of dealing with this, as it was just one more trivial position left to fill. Not hiring meant incomplete work, but hiring meant having someone willing to do the job despite insufficient education.
So he hesitated for a moment, then took a sip of water and said, "You seem quite eager. I'll give you one minute to sell yourself. If I'm satisfied, I'll make the decision to hire you. How about that?"
Was this an interview?
Wang Hao was a bit nervous. One minute - if he messed this up, it wouldn't be easy to find another job as suitable as this one.
So he quickly racked his brain, thinking about how to sell himself.
After thinking for over ten seconds and still having no clue, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind. Got it!
"Well," Wang Hao took a moment to prepare and then slowly said, "Generally speaking, employees quit for various reasons, but only two are the most genuine: One is not being paid enough, and two is feeling unappreciated. All these boil down to one thing: not enjoying the job."
"Pfft——!!!" The man instantly sprayed out a mouthful of water upon hearing Wang Hao's words.
This kid didn't want the job, daring to say that in front of the company's chief HR...
The man was initially a bit angry, but Wang Hao's next sentence made him burst out laughing again—
Wang Hao laughed as he said, "But I'm not afraid of low salary! As long as there is work!"
The man, both amused and exasperated, stared at Wang Hao and then slapped his thigh hard, "You're hired!"
"Really?!" Wang Hao was immediately excited, "You mean I've passed?!"
"Hahaha," seeing Wang Hao's expression, the middle-aged man's mood improved, laughing, "You kid, you do have some insights. It's settled then. The job is two months long, with a monthly salary of 2,400. Any problem?"
"No problem, no problem!" Wang Hao vigorously nodded, "So, do we sign the contract now? When do I start?"
"Sure," the man took out a contract, first wrote "2400" in the salary column, then handed it to Wang Hao, "Take a look. If there's no issue, just sign it."
"Okay, I'll check it," taking the contract, Wang Hao quickly scanned it and found nothing wrong, so he signed it immediately.
"You are quite straightforward," the man smiled and signed his name on the contract too. Wang Hao sneakily looked and saw the man's name was Zhang Ningzhi, who should be the HR of this company.
After putting away the contract, Zhang Ningzhi handed Wang Hao a badge with "Assistant Lighting Technician" written on it and said, "Today is Saturday. Go and prepare. You will start next Monday. The crew is in Hengdian. Just show your badge to the staff when you arrive." He paused, thought for a moment, and added, "Oh, by the way, if there's a shortage of people, you might need to play a small acting role. Just be mentally prepared."
Playing a minor role was easy, and it was a chance to live out his dream of being an actor. Wang Hao readily agreed, "Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go prepare now?"
"Sure, go ahead. Good luck with your work."
Leaving the job market, Wang Hao looked up and laughed loudly, "Today is turning out great, awesome!"
Damn it, I still remember that stray dog chasing me for three streets yesterday. Just wait, I'll get my revenge!
He went straight to the park and soon reached the place where he encountered the dog. After looking around a bit, he found it. Caught you, huh?!
"Meow..." The stray dog that was so fierce yesterday now shrunk back fearfully at the sight of Wang Hao, looking like a pitiful little thing. Its expression was so pitiful that anyone would feel bad for bullying it any further, right?
So Wang Hao felt quite frustrated. It seemed that today's revenge was unlikely to happen.
Oh well, seeing you so pitiful, I'll be merciful today. Wait here, I'll buy you a sausage!
Wang Hao jogged all the way to the park's supermarket, bought a sausage, came back, and threw it directly to the dog, "Even though you chased me half to death yesterday, I'm in a good mood today, so enjoy. No need to thank me!"
"Meow..." The stray dog quickly gulped down the sausage and then walked up, biting Wang Hao's pant leg.
"Hey, are you being ungrateful?!" Wang Hao raised his hand, ready to give it a piece of his mind, but before he could react, the stray dog dragged him and ran!
"What's going on?" The stray dog was very strong, dragging Wang Hao about ten meters. When the dog finally let go, Wang Hao looked around, "Did you drag me here to commit a crime?!"
"Woof woof!" The stray dog barked twice towards the bushes.
Following the dog's gaze, Wang Hao saw something shiny in the bushes that immediately caught his attention.
It was a smartphone, the latest rose gold iPhone 6S!
