Hu Jiasheng occupied a first-class seat, while Tang Nannan was in economy, so they didn't cross paths.
After the plane landed, Tang Nannan quickly spotted him in the crowd.
She had intended to surprise him and declare her stance, wanting him to look out for her in the future.
However, he wore headphones throughout, looked straight ahead, exuding an unapproachable aura, and walked with long strides. Tang Nannan felt insecure again.
After some thought, she decided it would be better to meet him during the interview tomorrow.
She still had over a hundred yuan, so finding a cheap hotel to stay for the night was feasible.
Once Hu Jiasheng finished his work in Suzhou, he sent a work summary report to Zhan Beijue.
Zhan Beijue was very satisfied with his work progress and report. He had already decided to make Hu Jiasheng the head of Grey Electric, so he specifically came to Grey Electric today to hold a meeting with the senior executives and announce his takeover of the company.
The meeting lasted for over an hour. At 9:20 AM, Hu Jiasheng emerged from the conference room. The HR supervisor informed him that several new employees were scheduled for interviews that day and asked him to report to the small conference room in five minutes.
Hu Jiasheng agreed and returned to his office with his notebook.
As he passed by the entrance of the technical department, he was stopped by Engineer Zhang, who had been lying in wait.
"Engineer Hu, thank you for your hard work. You've been away on business for so long, it must have been tough."
Engineer Zhang was the most seasoned veteran in the technical department. He was originally the most promising candidate for promotion, but his path was blocked by Hu Jiasheng, making him particularly displeased with him.
In previous meetings, he had shown the most hostility towards Hu Jiasheng and had even refused to join the business trip.
Hu Jiasheng knew how much he disliked him but was surprised that he proactively approached him to show goodwill upon their first meeting today.
He paused and politely nodded at him.
"It's no trouble, it's what I should do. Is there something you need to tell me, Engineer Zhang?"
"Nothing much, you can rest assured that we'll handle the work, and we definitely won't let you down!"
Engineer Zhang smiled slyly, inexplicably pledging his commitment.
"I heard you're officially taking over Grey Electric and will be our boss from now on. Congratulations, congratulations."
This person was quite adept at sensing the wind and changing direction.
Seeing that it was a done deal and resistance was futile, he had resigned himself to it and came to curry favor?
Hu Jiasheng smiled, "You're too kind. I'll be counting on your guidance in the future."
"Absolutely, absolutely. Um, Engineer Hu, could I discuss something with you?"
He knew that unsolicited kindness often hid ulterior motives.
"Please go ahead, Engineer Zhang."
Engineer Zhang leaned closer to him with a chuckle.
"I just went to the pantry to get water and saw a bunch of young men and women sitting outside the small conference room for interviews. One of them, a long-haired beauty, was exceptionally stunning and had an outstanding aura."
"Our department has been looking for an engineer's assistant for a long time without success."
"Besides, look at the technical department, it's like a monastery. We barely see any girls throughout the year. The imbalance of yin and yang makes everyone lack motivation for work."
Hu Jiasheng understood; he was being asked to find someone.
"I understand what you mean, Engineer Zhang, but this is about work, not finding a girlfriend. Just because someone is beautiful doesn't mean they'll meet your expectations."
"Especially for technical positions, if their major isn't relevant, and they don't know anything, hiring a useless pretty face means you'll have to do everything yourselves. How long will everyone be happy then?"
Engineer Zhang stated with conviction.
"You don't need to worry about that, Engineer Hu. Just be responsible for recruiting her. As for future job training, leave it to me. I guarantee she'll be well-trained and won't be getting paid for nothing."
"Consider it as helping me find a match. Look at me, I'm already this old, busy with work every day, and it's so hard to find a girlfriend. Please help me out."
Hu Jiasheng smiled, "I understand. I'll keep an eye on her. As long as she's not too unreasonable, I'll help."
"Thank you, thank you. I'll await your good news."
Five minutes later, Hu Jiasheng went to the small conference room.
As he passed the pantry, he saw many young men and women crowded in the hallway, either standing or sitting.
He walked straight ahead, pushed open the door in front of the conference room, and sat in the general manager's seat.
HR quickly announced the start of the interviews.
The interviews were pretty much the same, asking about education, work experience, views on the industry, future career plans...
Frankly, besides screening academic qualifications, it was about who could talk the talk.
After more than a dozen interviews, they were all repetitive, making everyone feel tired and bored.
Hu Jiasheng didn't want the morning to be wasted like this, so he told HR that they would conduct one more interview. He had to return to his office at 11 AM, and the rest would be done in the afternoon. HR agreed.
Soon, a beauty walked in.
Hu Jiasheng could feel the change in the atmosphere around him without even looking up.
Everyone who had been listless suddenly sat up straight, and some even cleared their throats, seemingly preparing to speak at length.
Hu Jiasheng clicked on her profile on the computer and then looked up at the person opposite him.
It was indeed her, Tang Nannan.
Her profile stated that she graduated from Suzhou University with a major in Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
Hu Jiasheng had jokingly told her to submit a fake resume, and she actually did?
And she submitted it to him?
Could it be that the beautiful woman Engineer Zhang mentioned was her?
The interview had already begun. HR asked Tang Nannan to introduce herself. Hu Jiasheng stared at her familiar face, listening to her unfamiliar life experience, and a nameless anger welled up within him.
So, she was counting on him to help her, which was why she specifically came here and talked nonsense?
Or, did she have ulterior motives from the moment she approached him?
Hu Jiasheng knew she was smart, but he disliked her for misusing her intelligence.
Too much cleverness turned into cunning, and he didn't like that kind of woman.
However, he couldn't bear to see her make a fool of herself in public. It was human nature for men to be drawn to beautiful women, and Hu Jiasheng was a straightforward man.
Because of her sweet appearance, everyone was very interested in her.
The Director of the Production Department even started chatting with her about her university, saying that their school had produced several industry giants, and asked if she had heard of them and what her thoughts were on their success.
Tang Nannan had never attended Suzhou University and knew nothing about Mechanical and Electrical Engineering. Her expression became subtle upon hearing this.
Just as a storm was brewing in her mind and she was frantically preparing her words, Hu Jiasheng pretended to be indifferent and steered the conversation away.
"Let's talk about something meaningful. Have you ever worked as an assistant? If you were to be a technical assistant, do you think you could handle it?"
This question was much easier to answer than the previous one.
Tang Nannan, who had won a gold medal in a national essay competition, found answering such questions a piece of cake.
Her eyes darted, and magnificent vocabulary flowed out.
A string of eloquent remarks earned nods of satisfaction from everyone.
Except for the fabricated academic qualifications, there was indeed nothing to fault her on.
Moreover, with Engineer Zhang's prior request, Hu Jiasheng ultimately gave her an opportunity.
