Chapter 936: Chapter 935: You’ve Been Admitted
Shu Pan saw that and felt there was no need to go forward anymore.
Why bother?
She didn’t need to think to know the girl was Gu Shaoting’s secretary.
Although she didn’t inquire about company matters, Gu Shaoting would occasionally ntion so personnel changes around him.
But this ti he was silent, didn’t ntion a thing.
Perhaps he didn’t want her to overthink.
Shu Pan felt a burning sensation in her eyes, so she turned around and left.
All along, Gu Shaoting had no idea that Shu Pan had been there and learned about the female secretary.
When she got ho, Shu Pan was still feeling down, but soon she adjusted her mood.
What was she being jealous about? They were just boss and subordinate, and there was nothing inappropriate in their behavior. She probably had these guesses just because she was feeling bored.
She picked up her phone and called Xiaong.
Xiaong, probably also bored, was holding her phone and answered right away.
“Girl, what’s the wind blowing? You have ti to call ?” Ye Xiaong joked.
“Xiaong, I guess my midlife crisis ca early. I went for an interview today. It was quite disheartening, competing with all those young, vibrant beauties,” Shu Pan said, her voice tinged with loss.
“Went for an interview? Doesn’t sound promising?” Ye Xiaong asked cautiously.
“Yes, originally it was for an assistant position, but it turned out they were hiring for a secretary,” Shu Pan said, feeling quite helpless.
“Since you’re not interested in doing design work anymore, it’s all the sa with clerical jobs,” Ye Xiaong said.
“But aren’t I too old to be a secretary? Look at Gu Shaoting. He’s hiring secretaries in their twenties, young and beautiful.”
Shu Pan felt sour inside, as if she had drunk vinegar.
“You’re being silly. The boss is hiring a subordinate, not a vase. What does young and beautiful have to do with it? It’s about competence; didn’t you used to be Gu Shaoting’s secretary? You have the experience, and if hired, you could certainly cope. Don’t underestimate yourself.”
Ye Xiaong was giving Shu Pan a pep talk, considering she hadn’t worked in a few years and was now lacking confidence.
“Yes, I guess there isn’t much hope. Let nature take its course,” Shu Pan felt it was unlikely.
She would check out other companies tomorrow. She wasn’t one to easily bow down to reality, having endured and persevered through very tough tis in the past.
“Yes, you shouldn’t feel pressured. You’re not the breadwinner anyway. The main thing is to find a job you like,” Ye Xiaong would definitely be working too if she weren’t pregnant.
In this new century, how many won could afford to stay ho as freeloaders?
Talking with Ye Xiaong made Shu Pan feel much better.
That evening, when Gu Shaoting saw that Shu Pan looked dejected, he deliberately asked, “Was the job application not smooth?”
While he asked, he couldn’t help but feel secretly pleased inside.
“Yes, I’ll see more tomorrow,” Shu Pan replied.
Gu Shaoting had been thinking about her job application all day and had prayed she wouldn’t get it, hoping she’d encounter setbacks and give up on the idea of working outside the ho.
Unfortunately, Gu Shaoting’s wishful thinking was wrong.
The next day, around 9 a.m., Shu Pan received a call from the HR departnt of Sheng Tian Corporation, telling her to report to work on ti the next day.
It was a surprising turn of events, unexpected that she was hired considering she hadn’t been hopeful and the competition was steep.
This was great, and she was determined to work hard.
Because she was going to start work, she was radiant with excitent.
