Inside the interview room.
There were four interviewees in total, including Song Zhizhi and Yi Wenhan.
The two were separated by one person, sitting in a somewhat solemn interview room.
“Song Zhizhi.” One of the interviewers began.
“Yes.” Song Zhizhi responded courteously and respectfully.
“You scored first in the city in the exam.” The interviewer spoke while looking at her resume.
Song Zhizhi smiled, “I took it very seriously, so I spent a long time preparing.” “Good.” The interviewer seemed very satisfied.
“Share your perspective on the current development of the financial industry in Jin City.”
“The real estate industry will continue to be a major player. Considering the current growth rate of the population in Jin City, there will still be a shortage of housing supply. Beyond the essential need for housing, as the population grows, the demand for surrounding facilities will also increase – shopping malls, farmers markets, schools, hospitals, parks, squares, etc. These all present opportunities for further development in the finance industry.”
“But Jin City ultimately has limited land.”
“We can extend to the sea area.” Song Zhizhi stated word for word, “Jin Bay in Jin City belongs to a close sea source, so it is viable because there are no precious fish species. Even if you don’t reclaim the sea, developing sea-front residential areas is not impossible, but of course, this is just my imagination, some might see it as too fanciful.”
“Our company needs fresh blood like yours with bold ideas.” The interviewer seemed very pleased.
Song Zhizhi expressed her thanks.
The interviewer then asked the others various professional questions. Some responded well, others not so much, but it was clearly a case of survival of the fittest.
When it was Yi Wenhan’s turn, the interviewer seemed a bit silent for a moment before another interviewer began, “Yi Wenhan, I won’t ask much about your professional expertise because you did well in the exam.”
Yi Wenhan was very respectful.
Inside though, he was quite upset. He had always thought he would be the top scorer, and he never thought Song Zhizhi would do better than him.
His sense of superiority was completely gone.
“Your personal life seems to be in chaos?” the interviewer asked directly.
Yi Wenhan was caught off guard, he had prepared a lot for professional Imowledge, but suddenly a personal question made him stun, then hurriedly responded, “The outside world might only see my two unclear relationships, so they regard me as someone who’s not consistent in relationships. In fact, since I was 21 years old, I have only liked Song Zhizhi in my life, but unfortunately, things didn’t go as planned. Many things happened in between, and I made a common mistake with Nie Xiaofei. Now, in fact, I do regret it. But after all, what happened has already happened, I can only face it.”
The interviewer nodded slightly, “To enter our Commercial Management organization, not only professional knowledge needs to be solid, but personal quality is also necessary. Your previous negative news, after our internal investigation, we found that the fault was not on you, so we were somewhat lenient with you in the screening process. But I must say it here, if there happens to be a similar incident again, regardless of any reasons, we will deal with it severely. This is the basic requirement for withdrawing from the
Commercial Management.”
“Yes, I will heed your advice.” Yi Wenhan’s attitude was upright.
The interviewer said no more. Their interviews were concluded, and they waited for the next round.
After the interviews, everyone returned to the waiting room. The results were announced after about half a day, as the first round of written exams had already screened out many applicants.
The interview staff announced the final list, ten people, including Song Zhizhi and Yi Wenhan of course.
They were to report to Human Resources tomorrow morning.
Everyone left after the results were announced.
Just as they were leaving, someone said, “How can we compete with that? Just look at Song Zhizhi’s status, and I heard Yi Wenhan also has connections…”
The murmured comments were not loud or small, just enough to reach the ears of the staff who had just finished announcing the results.
The staff member furrowed his eyebrows, looking stern, “What’s your name?”
The person who made the comment didn’t expect to be overheard, even though he had intended to be, he didn’t expect to be called out then and there.
“Do you have any grievances against our Commercial Management organization?” The staff member asked again.
“I was just speaking off the cuff.” The man’s confidence notably waned.
“Everything must be handled with thoughtfulness and prudence. The Commercial Management organization controls the invaluable financial industry of Yanshang Country, a single decision could result in losses of billions. There’s no room for casual remarks! Moreover, the backdoor concerns you’re worried about have never happened in the centuries-old foundation of our Commercial Management! Your comments have constituted a slander against our organization, and we have the right to sue you!”
“I, I…” The man was now too frightened to speak.
“Lastly, since you have doubts about our organization, we can’t tolerate people who are not loyal and don’t trust the organization. From now on, you will be on our organization’s blacklist forever, including your next three generations.” The staff member announced authoritatively.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong just now, I didn’t consider my words properly I shouldn’t have spoken recklessly…” The man was already scared out of his wits.
All the people who were about to leave were watching this scene, all holding their breath.
The rumoured strictness of the Commercial Management organization was truly seen today.
“There’s only one life, there’s no ‘just now’.” The staff member left with a final remark.
The man was so scared that he sat on the ground.
Nobody else dared to help him, they all shrank back and left.
Song Zhizhi followed the crowd back to her car.
Only at that moment did she let out a sigh of relief.
The rumored intensity and strictness of the Commercial Management organization was indeed not unfounded. The more power and benefits a place had, the stricter its standards were.
She took out her phone and reported the result to her father, before heading towards the Ji family’s mansion.
Ji Baijian said, his father wanted to invite her over for a meal.
Truth be told, she hadn’t really visited his family yet all this while.
She had specially prepared a dress which she started to change into inside the car.
Luo Xiaolang was driving. After pulling some strings, they got Xiaolang re-educated for driving. Luckily, Xiaofei picked things up quickly and passed the tests in a single try, so she got her license pretty quickly, and her driving skills were surprisingly good. As for the previous driver, Mr. Zhang, she gave him a sum of money and advised him to rest at home, his days were numbered.
Moments after changing into her new dress, the car pulled up in front of the shining gold gates of the Ji family mansion.
Luo Xiaolang opened the door for her to get out of the car.
She then saw Ji Baijian, handsomely standing at the door waiting for her.
However, what kind of creature was the white dog that he was leading on a leash? At this moment, it was sticking its big tongue out, looking quite silly.
It looked very out of place with Ji Baijian!
