Chapter 555: Chapter 550 Sincere Invitation
“No, I happened to have a last-minute thing and missed it that day.”
“You didn’t co? I was wondering why I didn’t see you. So Sasha, what are your plans now? Are you going to other companies for interviews?”
“I haven’t decided yet. You know my boyfriend is in grad school, and he has always been suggesting that I take the entrance exam too. So now I’m hesitating between taking the exam and continuing to look for a job.”
“Taking the exam isn’t a bad idea, at least you have soone to help you. Cai Lang is so capable, with his guidance, you’re sure to get in.”
Liu Sha pursed her lips, a hint of displeasure rising in her heart. What does that an? Without soone’s help, I wouldn’t be able to pass the exam?
Do I look as dumb as you?
She scoffed inwardly, exchanged a few more words with Chi Zhu, and then hung up the phone.
Then, she looked towards the direction where Cai Lang had left with a dark expression and cursed him half to death in her mind.
…
On the other side, after putting down the phone, Chi Zhu’s face took on a hint of suspicion.
Had sothing co up just in ti to miss the interview?
Was that really the case?
In fact, she wasn’t fully aware that Liu Sha had already resigned from three sizable companies before; she thought she had just left her first job after graduation.
As classmates who stayed in Beijing to pursue their careers, the class leader would organize a gathering every one or two months. Due to being busy, she didn’t attend the first two tis, but on the third occasion, she encountered Liu Sha, who ntioned that she had just quit her job. She casually ntioned that ‘Blue Deer’ might be hiring before the New Year.
At that ti, Liu Sha’s eyes lit up and she asked her to let her know if the news was certain.
Chi Zhu didn’t think much of it, plus helping out a classmate with this small favor didn’t seem like a big deal. So she seriously notified the HR departnt and as soon as she received information, she called Liu Sha right away.
She rembered that Liu Sha had sent her resu and even texted her to inform her…
But since she said she didn’t co, then she hadn’t co, after all. She had done the favor she was asked, and anything else wasn’t her concern.
Thinking this, Chi Zhu tidied up her desk and grabbed her bag, ready to leave work.
When she got to the lobby on the first floor, she bumped into the senior HR manager face to face.
She greeted her and after a mont’s thought, she nonetheless asked, “Sister Gao, did you see a resu from soone called Liu Sha when we were hiring before the New Year?”
To be honest, if Liu Sha had really missed the interview due to so issue, she wanted to strive for another chance for her.
After all, from what Liu Sha had said, she didn’t seem too keen on taking the entrance exam.
“Liu Sha? There seems to be soone with that na, but she didn’t pass the interview.”
As an HR manager, Sister Gao had an excellent mory, especially since there were only two won among those interviewed that ti, and one was unanimously rejected by all three interviewers.
The reason was that she had changed three companies within half a year.
“Ah? She didn’t pass the interview?”
Chi Zhu stopped in her tracks, looking at Sister Gao with a surprised expression.
Sister Gao looked back at her, “Why? Are you close with her?”
Chi Zhu first nodded, then shook her head, and finally scratched her head helplessly and said, “Classmates. It was
who told her to send her resu.”
“So that’s how it is,” Manager Gao wasn’t surprised at all, after all, such things were common. Nonetheless, he still offered her a bit of advice, “Are you trying to secure an opportunity for her? I would advise against involving Mr. Li for her sake. After all, during the interview, Director Jiang was present, and he was the first to reject Liu Sha. You know as well as I do that if Director Jiang disapproves of soone, General Manager Jing would certainly not nod in agreent.”
Chi Zhu quickly shook her head, “Of course not, how could I involve Mr. Li over such a matter? I can inform her to submit a resu, and even help her do it, but if she doesn’t pass the interview, that’s due to her own capabilities. I would never hold back my teacher over sothing like this.”
Manager Gao smiled upon hearing this, “That’s right, no wonder Mr. Li always praises you for your composure and is willing to teach you earnestly. Even Du Fan originally took a liking to you, but he couldn’t win over Mr. Li, otherwise, your teacher would have been Du Fan.”
“Ah? Du Fan?”
Chi Zhu was stunned. Du Fan had also been interested in her from the start?
How co she never knew?
After leaving the building, they went their separate ways, one heading to the parking lot, the other walking down the street to her ho.
Thanks to her family’s decent financial situation, after her job in the area stabilized, her parents gave her so money, and she took out a loan to buy a small two-bedroom apartnt near her company.
And living opposite her was Du Fan.
Deep down, Chi Zhu harbored a fear of the company’s veteran and chief engineer. So even though they lived opposite each other, they seldom crossed paths because she would always peek through the peephole before leaving, and upon seeing his door closed and quiet, she would hurry out.
It wasn’t that she wanted to avoid him, it’s just… Well, how should she put it? Just like a student fears their teacher, she also feared her leaders.
Now suddenly hearing that this prominent leader had initially taken a fancy to her, she felt quite thrilled.
Gee, am I this much in demand after joining the workforce and taking my post?
So I’m not dumb at all, I can be a very excellent engineer?
Thinking this way, Chi Zhu’s heart leaped with joy, and she cheerfully went to the nearby market to buy a portion of chicken wings, beef with tomatoes and potatoes, and so greens.
In her daily life, she was sowhat frugal but also a bit picky with food, so whenever she had the ti, she would prefer to cook rather than eat out.
Feeling pleased with the good news she had received from Sister Gao that evening, she decided to treat herself to a fine al.
But what she didn’t expect was that, after buying groceries, she ran into Du Fan downstairs on her way back.
“Du Fan.”
With Sister Gao’s words in mind, Chi Zhu no longer felt the previous fear and restraint when eting Du Fan. Instead, she greeted him cordially. Upon seeing the two bags of instant noodles in his hand, she invited him proactively, “Du Fan, would you like to co over for dinner at my place? I’ve bought groceries and plan to make Coke chicken wings, beef and tomato stew, and shredded potatoes tonight. There’s too much for
to eat alone, would you like to join ?”
Her invitation was genuine, and the hopeful look in her eyes as she looked at Du Fan was obvious.
Du Fan was initially taken aback, then after pondering the dishes she had just listed, his mouth actually betrayed him and he salivated slightly.
It had been a long ti since he had ho-cooked als, and he was eager to taste them.
With this thought, his head uncontrollably nodded in agreent, but as soon as he finished, he felt a twinge of regret.
What the hell did I just agree to? What if the young lady was just being polite?
But seeing the excited expression on her face after he said yes, he let out a sigh of relief.
It was a sincere invitation, not just a courtesy.
When Chi Zhu finished cooking and called him over, Du Fan was shocked as soon as he slled the aroma upon entering her place. He hadn’t realized the girl had such great culinary skills. The three dishes were a feast for the eyes, the nose, and the palate, thoroughly enticing.
Since he was there, he dropped all pretense of politeness.
Sitting down, he picked up the chopsticks and tore through the dishes like a whirlwind, and the two of them adhered strictly to the clean plate policy, leaving the dishes spotless with just a bit of sauce remaining on the plates.
