The temperature was still very high at 5 pm on a summer afternoon. Only about a dozen people who had contacted the interviewer actually came. The zoo is located in the mountains, and when I searched for relevant information, I couldn't find any related information on major social media platforms, and it was not even listed on map software.

There were young people and middle-aged people.

Su Zhou has no interview experience yet, but that's not a big problem.

She discovered that the Wanling Zoo's app had an employee section, one of the functions of which was to identify people's character—using high technology to discern good from bad. Su Zhou herself lacked the ability to read people; she came from a wealthy family, was good-looking, and had encountered both kindness and unwarranted malice. But some people were just like that—they had a friendly face, but their actions behind the scenes were appalling.

Fortunately, there was some advanced technology to help with the cheating.

The young man sitting in the chair must have graduated from university not long ago. His eyes were darting around, and his hands were constantly gripping his sleeves, showing that he was very nervous.

"When you came to interview for this position, could you truly say you love animals and are committed to your job?" Su Zhou looked up, but her peripheral vision fell on her phone screen.

Security guard and salesperson positions don't require academic qualifications, and this young man has an impressive resume and academic record. I don't know why he chose to interview for this kind of position. Although I don't understand, since I'm already here, Su Zhou still dutifully started asking questions.

If you look at her computer's search history, you'll find it's full of questions like this:

What questions do HR professionals usually ask?

How can a new HR professional avoid being looked down upon?

The questions were all ones that Su Zhou had seriously considered for a long time. The original intention of opening the zoo was to provide a place for the animals to live, and everyone who came for the interview should have a kind heart. Those with ill intentions would not be selected, no matter how beautiful their resumes were.

The young man thought for a moment and said shyly, "I really like small animals. I raised a lot of small animals when I was a child, including cats, dogs, rats, and reptiles. I've always dreamed of working at a zoo."

The screen displays:

Kindness: Green; Experience: Green; Physical condition: Yellow (sub-healthy state)

"He's a bit smart," Su Zhou took a deep breath. This situation was already quite good. The fact that kindness was green meant he wasn't lying and genuinely liked animals. People who seem introverted aren't actually popular in the workplace. Compared to the cutthroat workplace, working at the zoo was pretty good.

“I see on your resume that you graduated from H University. As far as I know, that university is a 211 university. You are a recent graduate of that university, and you studied its top major, artificial intelligence. Don’t you think it’s a waste of your talents to apply for a security guard position?” Su Zhou hesitated, looking at the handsome young man in front of her.

He had medium-length hair and was wearing a white shirt. On such a hot day, there was only one small electric fan blowing in the office building. From Su Zhou's perspective, she could even see the fine beads of sweat on his forehead and the tip of his nose. She thought to herself, "It seems that the office building renovation cannot be delayed."

Commuting is such a hassle, yet she shamelessly wrote "meals and accommodation included." She's not a miser; in fact, her father, Su Yunhai, is a kind and generous man who treats the employees of their own store very well.

The catering industry is a service industry, but it is not about unconditional indulgence. In this respect, Dad has done a good job. The employees of his own store all earn a starting salary of 8,000 yuan per month, so she cannot be too harsh on herself.

"No, I graduated from H University, which only means I was good at studying during my student days, nothing else. Besides that, I've always been physically fit, and I believe I can handle this job." As he spoke, the young man stood up as if he were going all out and picked up a whole box of old books that Su Zhou had sorted out.

The box of books was very heavy. Su Zhou had to push and pull it to get it to this position. After finishing, he was panting heavily and collapsed into a chair, unable to recover for a long time. It was roughly estimated to weigh one or two hundred pounds, and some of the books inside were quite large. Even so, the young man lifted it up without any trouble.

But we've only interviewed the first person, so we can't draw any conclusions yet. She nodded: "Okay, I understand."

With the experience gained from the first person, interviewing the remaining candidates wasn't too difficult. Moreover, with the added benefit of advanced technology, good or bad, nothing could hide under the system's protection. Some people's kindness was considered high-risk (red), the system whispered in Su Zhou's ear, "That person has a history of abusing cats and dogs; such a person would be a menace in a zoo sooner or later."

In the end, the two who were a good match in all aspects were a girl named Song Xinran and the first guy to interview, a boy named Tang Yu.

Song Xinran had previously worked as a cashier in a large supermarket, so her reaction speed was naturally excellent. She even gave Su Zhou a demonstration of counting money on the spot, her fingers moving so fast that they left afterimages. Su Zhou was amazed and thought she was the perfect candidate to be a ticket seller.

Moreover, this girl was two years older than Su Zhou, had a delicate baby face, and was very warm and friendly.

"You can live in the zoo from now on. Our zoo is still in its early stages. Don't be fooled by how dilapidated it is now; it will get better gradually. When there are a lot of people, I will recruit new staff to help you out. Recently, our zoo has had a pretty good flow of visitors, so thank you for your hard work."

Su Zhou held her water glass, took a sip of milk tea, and smiled slightly: "We provide three meals a day. In the early stages, we don't have our own canteen yet, so you'll have to make do with Su's takeout."

Tang Yu's eyes widened. He pointed to himself and said, "Me? Eating at Su Ji's? Isn't that a bit too extravagant?"

College students usually eat in the school cafeteria. Those with a little extra money order takeout and stock up on coupons. Su Ji is definitely a mid-to-high-end chain restaurant brand. It's clean, hygienic, and the food is fresh. They don't have pre-made dishes and the taste is great. They only order Su Ji when they want to splurge. They never expected that the benefits at their third-rate zoo would be so good.

"Don't you like it?" Su Zhou looked at their surprised expressions with confusion. She had been eating at Su Ji's since she was a child and was already tired of it, but her own stores were everywhere. Unless she was very hungry, Su Zhou was unwilling to go into her own store. But during her undergraduate years, her roommates or class team building activities always specifically requested to go to Su Ji's. "But the staff canteen is not open yet, so it may have to wait until later."

Both of them quickly waved their hands, "How could that be? We were just thinking that you're too kind, Director. Don't worry, we'll do anything to make our zoo thrive."

When asked about a monthly salary of 8,000+, they remained unmoved. After all, there are high-paying jobs in Beijing, but if it included three meals a day at Su Ji, they would be willing to do anything for them.
