Chapter 37

In the Internet age, various small platforms emerge one after another, but most of them are short-lived and even disappear before they have time to enter the public eye.

Chuangxiang Yike is a small platform that is quite lucky. It caught up with the last boom of Internet investment, obtained the first angel round of financing, and successfully survived the first two years when the probability of bankruptcy was the highest. Just when the funds were about to run out, it met a wealthy woman of unknown origin who injected another sum of money, which gave them a lot of more time.

Chuangxiangyike is a typical knowledge sharing platform. It was originally founded by several college students. Its main purpose is to share useful knowledge and see the complex world clearly.

This is destined to be a niche field. Compared with the current leading large platforms, the number of users is not even a fraction of the other party. Although the quality of users is high, there are more rational users.

The so-called rational users are mostly people who come to watch the fun online. They are always at the forefront of the fun and spend money on advertising and marketing? I’m sorry, most of the time we’ll politely refuse your offer, but if you’re fooled, you’ll have to cancel the order quickly.

This type of people can indeed produce high-quality content, but as for commercial value... I'm sorry, it has to rank behind dogs and middle-aged men.

This is also an important reason why many investment institutions are not optimistic about the profitability of this platform.

To this end, Chuangxiang Yike has made a lot of efforts and attempts, but unfortunately, most of the time it failed.

But now, who cares? With the second investment arriving, they can at least hold on for another year!

As long as this small platform survives, it is a victory.

No one can predict what the next hot spot on the Internet will be. Who can guarantee that they won’t be lucky enough to hit the next hot spot?

Although the founders were trying hard to encourage each other, a manager behind the scenes was not very optimistic about the situation.

"The hot topics on other platforms are either celebrities or social hot spots, but our platform is different. The most popular post recently is about how to save money."

The highlight of the initial design of this platform is to crack down on internet trolls as much as possible and allow users to see more real comments.

Now the water army is indeed gone, and the platform almost collapsed.

Someone has mentioned it several times, why not let go of the water army appropriately? After all, the water army can create heat. Haven’t you seen that some platforms even flood the platform with water themselves?

Jiang Qi hesitated several times, but finally made up his mind and rejected the proposal.

If they can't even stick to this point, what's the difference between their platform and others? They might even fail faster.

Besides, didn’t the previous investor say that in addition to being optimistic about the project, the most important thing was that he was optimistic about her as a person!

This shows that the rich woman must have seen the bright spots of this project and the persistence of the founders!

That's absolutely right!

Uh, or you can go and ask the rich woman what she valued about you in the first place?

Jiang Qi glanced at herself in the mirror and suddenly became unsure.

————

At this time, Xue Mi was chatting on the phone with her best friend Zhang Xuan.

"I was supposed to be out for half a year, but I've been delayed for several months here. My next stop is City B, where I'll probably have to stay for a while. Then I'll go back to City A... Let's see if I can go back before the New Year."

After all, they are all my own properties, so it is quite enjoyable to just walk around and have a look.

"Please keep an eye on that villa for me first. You have the key. When it is renovated, you can move in if you want. You can also bring your uncle and aunt to enjoy it." Xue Mi said happily.

"Don't worry, I won't let you work for nothing. The gift I sent you should be arriving soon. By the way, when are you going to take your annual leave? I'll pay for your trip and make sure you have a good time. Yes, I'll definitely go with you. How could I let you go alone? Men? How can a man be as important as you?"

To be honest, she initially thought that even if she inherited such a large inheritance, she would probably live in City A for a long time, so she built the villa as her own home.

But as time went by and she saw more places, she slowly came to understand that for truly wealthy people, they have homes all over the country and it doesn't matter where they live.

However, that villa was the first house she bought after all, so she still had some sentimental feelings and concerns about it. After she was done with this work, she would probably go back and live there for a while - even Xue Mi herself couldn't tell how long it would take to finish this work.

During the chat, they talked about Jiang Zhendong again - Xue Mi's ex-boyfriend. After he was dumped by his beautiful, rich and white girlfriend, the wedding was completely ruined. He seemed to have looked for Xue Mi for a while, but in the end he didn't find her, so he gave up.

"This guy was still acting in front of me, begging me to give him your new contact information. I'm not that stupid. How could I go back to such rotten grass? I coaxed him by saying that you went to Africa, and he actually believed it," Zhang Xuan laughed so hard, "Later he told me that he actually wanted to go to Africa, but unfortunately his mother wouldn't let him."

Xue Mi also laughed so hard that she hiccuped.

To be honest, Xue Mi was about to forget about this guy completely, but listening to his jokes was a way to relax.

Zhang Xuan was promoted recently. Uncle Zhang and Aunt Shen are in good health, and they are still arranging blind dates for her. However, because she is now a person with a title, the quality of her blind dates has improved a lot. Although she still hasn't met someone who satisfies each other, at least the probability of meeting a top-notch one has decreased a lot.

But even though there were few jokes, there were still quite a few. The two of them kept talking and laughing, and they talked on the phone for almost an hour before hanging up.

After hanging up the phone, Xue Mi rubbed her ears for a long time, then opened her phone and found that the wild boss she had picked up before had just sent her a message, wanting to ask her, the investor, about the future direction.

I heard that professional investors and investment institutions don't just give money to these entrepreneurs. Generally, there will be a support process in the early stages. Some provide people, some provide brains, and some provide resources. They just want these small businesses to grow bigger and stronger as quickly as possible, and make a lot of money by the way.

Currently, this work is handled by Xue Mi's assistant, but when it comes to the general direction, the assistant can't explain it clearly - after all, the investment decision is made by the boss, and they are only responsible for following it.

And to be honest, if the assistant was the one making the decision, she would definitely not invest in this platform - after all, it seems mediocre no matter how you look at it, and there is nothing particularly impressive about it.

Therefore, the confusion of the platform founder was transferred to Xue Mi.

"Any suggestions for future directions?" Xue Mi pondered her wording.

It's not that she didn't know how to answer, but she was thinking about how to tactfully reveal the answer she had secretly seen without letting others know the clues.

Being a prophet is actually quite tiring!

From the answers she had sneaked a peek at in advance, this now unknown little platform was indeed not as smooth as it is now.

In the illusion, the startup team of Chuangxiang Yike failed to find new investment before the funds ran out, but they scraped together some money and were still barely able to maintain operations.

If nothing unexpected happens, this struggle is doomed to be fruitless. The funds will soon be exhausted, and then the team will fall apart and the server will be shut down, which is similar to the fate of all small platforms that are about to go bankrupt.

The turning point happened when no one expected it.

When the time comes, heaven and earth will work together. Sometimes, as long as you stand in the right place at the right time, you will naturally be blown to the sky by the wind.

For example, this small platform is now viewed negatively by many people.

Xue Mi deleted and modified the input page for a long time, and finally felt satisfied, then she clicked send with a smile.

Jiang Qi, who had been waiting by her phone the whole time, clicked on the message as soon as the red dot flashed, and called other members of the founding team to check: "The rich lady has replied!"

"What did you say?"

"I wonder if she can find any good points in you."

"What does she think is the profit point of our platform?"

Several people gathered around, crowded together, and looked at Jiang Qi's phone.

Surprisingly, there were only two sentences on it:

"Do what you should do, and opportunities will come naturally."

Everyone: ...?

“What kind of chicken soup literature is this?”

“It looks a bit mysterious.”

"I heard that rich people believe in fortune-telling?"

“Could it be that a master has calculated that our platform will be popular?”

Well, that's a reason to feel comforted.

Unfortunately, it's just consolation and has no other use.

"I'd better think about some new plans to bring traffic to our platform." Jiang Qi held the pen in his mouth and began to scratch his head.

But this at least shows that rich women are still optimistic about the persistence of their platform?

Thinking of this, Jiang Qi's mood finally improved a little, and he no longer felt that anxious about gains and losses.

————

More than a month passed by in a dull manner.

During this period, Xue Mi went to two more cities to receive inheritances, some of which were company shares, and some were physical industries or real estate. However, everything went smoothly and there were no more troubles.

The mine that Zhan Yunshang had his eyes on had not yet been negotiated, mainly because Xue Mi was not very interested in his proposal to exchange it for shares, and she still wanted cash more.

The weather has been very hot recently. Xue Mi doesn't want to go out during the day and only goes out for a walk at night. She even changed her exercise time to early morning and evening because she doesn't want to face the sun.

There are many people who have similar ideas as her. Recently, there are obviously more people in the fitness club at night.

Xue Mi followed her usual habit of adjusting and resting a little after working out before massaging her muscles and taking a bath.

She picked up a towel and wiped the sweat off her head. As soon as she went downstairs, she heard a few young girls talking nearby: "The reputation of an entire entertainment company's artists has collapsed. This is too tragic!"

"I am still a fan of XX group, which was promoted by this company. Now I think about it and I really can't bear to watch it."

"The entertainment industry is so dirty, I don't know how many clean ones there are."

"Other companies should be fine, but I hope the celebrity I like doesn't fall out of favor!"

Xue Mi also clicked on the hot search and took a look. Sure enough, Zhan Yunying’s harem was exposed on the Internet, and several wealthy people and celebrities were also implicated. In addition, netizens who were possessed by Sherlock Holmes began to frantically dig out details and dug up a lot of things.

Because the entertainment company was quite large and had signed many heavyweight celebrities, plus its various networks expanded outward, this incident involved almost half of the entertainment industry and started a carnival.

That night, everyone's enthusiasm for gossip suddenly reached its peak, and they began to dig for all kinds of clues all over the Internet.

At the same time, an inexplicable peak suddenly appeared in the background of Chuangxiang Yike.

The first person to notice something was wrong was a backend programmer.

He found that the number of visitors and registered users in the background suddenly began to rise sharply, almost 100 times the usual number.

"What happened? Why did our platform suddenly become popular?"

He just asked this question in the work group, and everyone else was shocked.

"I never thought that our platform would become a place for gossip!"

"Is it the entertainment company's scandal? What does it have to do with our platform?"

"You'll see if you go and see. There was a male celebrity who previously anonymously recorded a lot of things on our platform, and now they've all been exposed."

Maybe because this platform is niche enough, the star wrote a lot of things about the company almost in the form of a diary.

Because the content is horrifying and eye-opening, many people would rather register a new account and come to this platform to watch the show.

In just one night, the number of new registered users on the Chuangxiangyike platform exceeded 100,000.

Unfortunately, this male star and his agent have now been taken into custody by the police, and have not been able to close their accounts and delete their posts in time, so various big names have been able to follow the clues and dig up a lot of explosive information.

Nowadays, almost everyone on the Internet is Sherlock Holmes. They can't wait to hold a magnifying glass and study the records word by word, for fear that they will miss some big news if their eyes slip.

Three days later, the male star's family finally reacted and hurriedly closed the account. However, by this time, the platform had more than 500,000 new users, and it became a small hit in the gossip circle.

However, this unexpected incident can only be regarded as a surprising sudden diversion of traffic. If it follows the usual practice, these well-fed bad guys will quickly abandon their newly registered accounts and return to their familiar platforms to continue wandering around, waiting for new hot spots to explode.

But before this wave of heat had passed, half of the entertainment industry, which had been dragged into the water, began various water army sweeps, deleting posts and silencing people. The celebrity teams that were dragged into this spent a lot of money trying to make themselves completely invisible in this incident.

If it were in normal times, this might be effective. After all, netizens are forgetful and hot topics can erupt at any time. As long as the next hot topic comes up, everyone will naturally disperse.

But no one expected that there were so many celebrities implicated this time, and the water army team was not enough. As a result, after all parties invested a lot of money, the same water army suddenly appeared in this celebrity’s super chat to flood the forum, and then ran to another square to appeal for injustice. It was as if they had the ability to clone themselves, and they were extremely busy.

At this time, users who had just registered on the small platform Chuangxiang Yike suddenly realized the benefits of this platform.

There are no water armies on this platform!

In other words, the registration and speaking mechanism of this platform naturally suppresses those internet trolls that flood the platform with spam, and instead, normal user comments are more likely to stand out.

Soon, those who were eating melons gathered here with their friends. No matter whether they would stay or not, they just wanted to eat their fill of melons first.

At this point, this small social networking platform, which had previously attracted no attention, inexplicably broke through the one million mark in the number of registered users because of this sudden incident, and the data on active users is even more astonishingly good.

Several investment institutions that had previously been dismissive of Chuangxiang Yike finally extended an olive branch.

Jiang Qi herself didn't expect that this platform would become so popular because of the melon-eating.

However, the founding team is aware that a short-term burst of traffic is just luck, and whether or not they can retain people is the key.

But this is only the first wave.

Unlike the new users who have just flooded in, the old users of the platform also like to watch melons, but they are relatively Buddhist. What really interests them are various shopping and travel sharing, as well as money-saving tips.

Influenced by this group of users, the overall atmosphere of the website's live broadcast channel is a mix of Buddhism and complaints. Even though the top male and female hosts do not have large traffic and cannot bring in much goods, it does not affect the cheerful atmosphere here at all.

This place is like a small cozy nest, which is completely different from the atmosphere of those people hawking goods outside. Most people just lie back and relax, buying or not. Anyway, it won't delay the host from chatting with others.

Due to the original user portrait and the fact that most of the anchors were converted from old users, the products sold here are mainly affordable and cost-effective. There are even many unpopular niche products that don’t sell well and the profits are not high, but they are just there anyway. People who are on this platform didn’t expect to make a fortune.

This peaceful atmosphere is like a new world that has suddenly opened up to the new users who are pouring in.

Fuck, what’s wrong with the anchors here? They don’t even sell goods seriously!

But he looks so funny, I like him so much!

I’ve seen too many serious looks, and I just like this kind of non-serious look!

Some people even edited and posted various idle live broadcast clips on the Internet. This time, the impact is no longer limited to the general public who are interested in the entertainment industry, but has expanded to a wider range.

Funny and interesting is one thing, but the key is that the price-performance ratio seems to be really high!

It has not been easy for everyone in the past few years. The advanced consumption concept that was fooled by various businesses has gradually cooled down. International big brands and things that look good when worn are no longer the first choice for people to spend money.

The most impressive thing nowadays is that if you spend 80 on the same pair of shoes, I only spend 50. That’s when I feel really proud and think I got a great bargain.

As a result, a large number of new customers flocked into Chuangxiang Yike, and this time, they were not the kind who came to join in the fun and then dispersed, but the ones who were truly willing to spend money online.

The investment institutions that had originally been tentatively extending olive branches now rushed over like dogs smelling meat, waving checks in their hands, fearing that they would not be able to squeeze in.

The valuation of Chuangxiang Yike has also continued to rise with the pursuit of all walks of life, from the original total valuation of 10 million to more than 200 million in an instant, and judging from the current situation, it is still far from the psychological price of investment institutions.

After all, for all social platforms, accumulating the first 1 million is the most difficult, but as long as you break through this order of magnitude and find a stable profit model, the future is limitless and you can draw a big pie.

Jiang Qi, whose net worth increased 20 times overnight, suddenly remembered the words the rich woman had sent to him: "Do what you should do, and opportunities will come naturally."

There is a reason why rich women become rich!

It has only been over a month, who would have thought that her words would come true.

In addition to Jiang Qi, who was fooled into blindly worshipping his boss, the new assistant also felt that his boss was really awesome.

In just one month, the return on investment was more than 20 times. This myth will be talked about for a long time no matter where it is.

The investor who participated in the angel round of investment is now ready to sell his shares and exit happily with a large amount of cash.

In comparison, her boss seemed much more stable and just said that the shares should be kept for the time being and there was no need to cash them out in a hurry.

"The future development of this website is not limited to this," she said calmly, "If it was just to make a little money, I wouldn't bother to do this."

It’s only 20 million, not even enough to buy a patent. What’s the point?

"Since the investor is ready to release shares, try to grab as many as you can," Xue Mi continued to instruct the assistant, "I'm not short of money anyway."

The courage of the rich was fully demonstrated at this moment, making people want to kneel down and call her mother.

The assistant finally understood why Director Ming had joked that he was Xue Mi's grandson.

Are you kidding? Who doesn’t want a grandmother like this?

Being raised by my grandmother, just thinking about it makes me feel so happy!

And now, the one who enjoys the most care from this old grandmother is obviously Vientiane Interactive, who is held in her heart.

In addition to the 100 million allocated at the beginning and the 35 million patent acquisition fees discussed later, over the past few months, Xue Mi has invested tens of millions of yuan in Wanxiang Interactive in bits and pieces, including funds, acquired technology and equipment, and even a small game company that became a subsidiary of Wanxiang Interactive.

I didn’t see this in the phantom, but to be honest, the game produced by that game company is quite interesting, which makes Xue Mi look forward to the early release of the holographic game so that she can play it.

Hearing that the boss was coming to inspect today, Director Ming, who was fully enjoying the warm care of his grandmother, voluntarily tidied himself up and even got a special hairstyle, the most popular fluffy men's half-broken hair on the Internet, which perfectly highlighted his exquisite and slightly melancholy temperament.

Although everyone knew that the sadness on his face was most likely because he was worried that the data from the laboratory was not satisfactory.

But who cares? As long as I can feast my eyes, it’s fine.

Director Ming rarely even asks for funding as soon as he meets his leader. Of course, it may also be because he doesn't need it now. The company's funds are sufficient and there is no need to waste his breath.

The two people had a cordial and friendly conversation for a while, and the main content of the conversation was still related to the project progress. Although Xue Mi didn't understand many of the professional terms, she didn't care. Knowing that the project was moving forward normally was the best news.

"By the way, when I first came here, I found that you were recruiting again?" Xue Mi asked curiously.

Director Ming nodded gently and explained patiently: "Now there are five project teams working at the same time, and the staff is a bit insufficient, so we want to recruit more technical personnel."

“We are also planning to recruit more logistics personnel,” Yu Tong added.

Although the company has not yet produced any results worthy of mention, the money has been invested and various expansions are naturally inevitable. Recruiting sufficient staff and allowing the company to operate with maximum efficiency is naturally a top priority.

Seeing that the HR department was quite busy, Xue Mixian volunteered to help be the interviewer.

She is definitely incapable of helping out with technical staff, but she has extensive experience in recruiting support staff. After all, the current general manager of Wanxiang Interactive was recruited by her in this way.

In fact, Xue Mi had a selfish motive for taking this job. She wanted to take the opportunity to interact more with the new employees and see if she could see any valuable future.

After all, the current development of Vientiane Interactive is on a completely different path from the future she had originally envisioned. She wants to be at peace with herself as to whether it is right or wrong.

Unfortunately, the gossip that can trigger her ability is apparently not as much as imagined.

Wanxiang Interactive now has sufficient funds and offers good welfare benefits. In addition, the logistics and office requirements are relatively low. There are almost 100 interviewees alone for the first round of interviews, competing for less than 10 positions.

Xue Mi shook hands with these people one by one, and had shaken more than 50 hands before she saw a man who would become a nouveau riche due to house demolition in the future. Unfortunately, this man failed to keep the wealth, and his wife and children left him, and he was cheated out of all his money. In the end, he jumped off a building and was on the social news.

Xue Mi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the other person again. This man is only in his 20s, and it will take more than 10 years for him to become a nouveau riche. Even if she reminded him now, it would be useless. She could only sigh and tell him to be more cautious with money.

When the man heard the interviewer's words, he was puzzled, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only nod, but he didn't take this inexplicable instruction to heart.

By the time she had interviewed more than 90 people, Xue Mi was already a little tired. She yawned several times and felt that she probably wouldn't be able to see what she wanted to see today.

Just then, the 92nd interviewee walked in and began to introduce himself.

This is a new graduate this year. He wears a pair of large thick-framed glasses and looks a little timid. He wants to interview for an office clerk position.

The salary of an office clerk is the lowest among the several types of jobs being recruited this time, but the requirements are also low. As long as you have a good temper and are meticulous in your work, there are not many requirements for academic qualifications.

But because of this, there are so many people submitting resumes. At a glance, they are all top students from various famous universities, or experienced job seekers with several years of work experience. In comparison, Miaomiao, who graduated from an ordinary second-tier university and did not have a very impressive university life, seems to have almost no advantages.

It seems that this application will most likely fail.

She sighed melancholy, but still tried to cheer herself up and walked into the interview room.

There were three interviewers sitting inside, two women and one man. One of them looked serious and unsmiling.

There was only a young female interviewer sitting next to her. She looked a little lazy but had a gentle attitude. She even came over and shook hands with Miaomiao, which seemed to be an invisible encouragement.

Miaomiao's hands were so cold from nervousness, but after being held by those gentle hands, she seemed to calm down a little. She tried to relax the tense expression on her face and forced a standard smile showing six teeth.

She didn't know yet that the interviewer, who she thought was very gentle, suddenly brightened up his eyes and finally perked up a little.

What followed was a very routine round of questioning. Miaomiao had prepared for the questions beforehand, so she answered them quite smoothly - unfortunately, there was still nothing special.

The other two interviewers were obviously not very interested in her. They asked a few casual questions and seemed to want to end the interview.

Unexpectedly, the lazy female interviewer suddenly spoke up and asked Miaomiao if she had any special skills.

Miaomiao hesitated for a moment and shook her head weakly.

The female interviewer took another look at her resume and said, "I see you graduated from the Chinese Department. Have you ever tried creative writing?"

Miaomiao was stunned by this question. She couldn't tell whether it was a formal interview question or just a casual chat. She could only answer in a weaker voice: "I tried it when I was studying... But I may not have much talent in this area. It's just an ordinary hobby."

The female interviewer nodded with satisfaction and finished her questioning. Then another interviewer next to her told Miaomiao that the interview was over.

Except for the two unexpected questions at the end, the interview lasted only 8 minutes in total. Based on previous interview experience, Miaomiao knew that there was a high probability that she would have no chance of getting the job this time.

She sighed, but was not too disappointed. She just left this seemingly high-end technology company very calmly.

————

We are about to graduate. There are six people in my dormitory. Two of them have been admitted to graduate school, and two more were lucky enough to become civil servants. We all have clear future prospects.

Now there are only Miaomiao and another girl left in the dormitory. They failed to get into graduate school and were eliminated from the civil service exam early on. They have no chance of finding a job and can only work together to keep each other warm and desperately submit their resumes to various recruitment websites.

At this time, the girl sleeping on the upper bunk had just received a call. Her voice became visibly higher. After she hung up the phone, she suddenly screamed and leaned over the railing and said loudly, "I got the job! I got the job! The job posting a few days ago wants me to report next week!"

Others congratulated her one after another, and Miaomiao tried to smile and join in the conversation. Only the pen she kept drawing circles on the notebook showed that she was somewhat uneasy.

After the excitement died down, the girl suddenly remembered and asked Miaomiao carefully: "Those previous interviews...you didn't receive any notifications?"

Miaomiao shook her head in frustration: "It's probably difficult. I think I'll go back to my hometown after graduation and see if I can find a temporary job first, and then slowly take the civil service exam."

Having been used to living in the big city, she actually didn't want to go back to her small hometown at all. However, she was not motivated enough and couldn't stay there. In the end, she could only rely on her parents' face to find a job.

Thinking of the relatives and relationships in her hometown, she couldn't help but sigh deeply again.

"It's okay. There's still more than a month before graduation. You'll definitely find it if you look slowly." Everyone in the dormitory tried to comfort Miaomiao.

"By the way, don't you love writing scripts? Why don't you try to apply for jobs in this field? Maybe you can get a chance." The girl who found a job before also helped her think of ideas.

"I've tried, but they either thought my school wasn't good enough or said I didn't have any impressive grades, so they all rejected me." Miaomiao said, stuffing the notebook in her hand back into the drawer.

During the four years of college, others either joined the student union or various clubs to exercise, or fell in love and made boyfriends, or studied hard to get civil service exams or graduate school exams. Only she couldn't even find a job because of this useless hobby.

Just thinking about it, Miaomiao felt particularly sorry for her parents who spent money to support her college education, and even more sorry for herself.

It would be better to give up this hobby for now, at least until she can support herself and have a stable job - she thought.

As for those stories originally hidden in her mind and those wonderful pictures she longed to depict, she continued to keep them in her heart. Anyway, even if she took them out, no one would be interested in reading them.

At this moment, Miaomiao's cell phone suddenly rang, and it showed that it was an unfamiliar number.

She blinked and didn't react for a moment.

"Hurry up and answer the phone. Maybe it's telling you to go to work." A roommate next to her urged her.

Miaomiao then took a deep breath and answered the phone.

There was a gentle female voice on the other end of the phone. After confirming Miaomiao's identity, she told her that she had passed the first interview in Vientiane Interactive last time and wanted to invite her to a second interview.

"Okay, okay, I'm free. May I know the specific time and address of the interview?" Miaomiao quickly took out the notebook that had just been stuffed into the drawer, picked up the pen and started writing it down.

Although she was not notified to report for work, she certainly couldn't miss the opportunity for a second interview!

What if, by some chance, she succeeds in getting the job?

The second interview was scheduled for two days later. During these two days, Miaomiao asked her roommate to help her with a mock interview. She also searched the Internet for various interview strategies and precautions, memorized them one by one, prepared hard, and waited anxiously for this opportunity to come.

But on the day of the interview, she arrived at the same building as she had been for the first interview half an hour early, only to find that it was exceptionally deserted today, not at all as lively as the last time she came.

Could it be... that she got the time wrong?

Miaomiao, who was already a little introverted and shy, felt her scalp tingling at this moment, fearing that she would make such a childish and low-level mistake.

It would be better if I came earlier, but if I came late...

She thought dejectedly that this job opportunity that she had worked so hard to get would definitely be gone forever.
