Employers often require models to have at least a high school diploma, but this does not mean that you cannot become a model without a degree. In fact, as long as you have enough ability and good looks, you can become a model even without a high degree.

Conversely, even with a high level of education, you can't become a model if you don't have good looks. Modeling requires a face and a good figure.

Recruiting a company secretary is different. The requirements for education, appearance, work ability and experience are very strict. The appearance must be dignified, which is what people often say, "I am at least presentable."

The interview process for the company secretary officially began at 2 PM.

The rankings given by the company's HR department are definitely those of the best performers.

The first place went to a 36-year-old woman who applied for the job. She was about 1.7 meters tall and very beautiful.

Dong Qing glanced at her academic credentials. Her name was Zhou Cui, a graduate student in Business Administration from the School of Finance and Economics. She had ten years of work experience, having served as the chairman's secretary for six years and later as the company manager for four years.

Dong Qing asked Zhou Cui how to manage a company well, and she answered fluently, speaking in a way that was neither exaggerated nor unrealistic. Dong Qing could easily tell that she had accumulated a wealth of work experience over a long period of time, and was by no means just talking theory.

Dong Qing said, "Our head office currently has a vacancy for a company manager and a deputy manager. There will be a one-year probationary period. After one year, if you can perform the duties of a manager, we will sign a formal contract with you at that time."

Zhou Cui said, "I'm willing. If I'm not competent after a year, you don't need to fire me; I'll resign and leave on my own."

Dong Qing admired this kind of woman; she possessed a beautiful appearance while also retaining a woman's inherent strength and gentleness. He said, "You've passed. From now on, you are the manager of Yusheng Headquarters. Go to the personnel department to complete the onboarding procedures."

Zhou Cui said thank you and turned to walk out of the recruitment hall.

After Zhou Cui left, a young woman came in. Dong Qing glanced at her resume. Her name was Gu Xiaoyu, female, unmarried, 29 years old, with a master's degree and three years of experience as a secretary to the board of directors. She was also very attractive.

After the interview, Dongqing said, "You've passed. Go report to the personnel department. You'll have a one-year probationary period. From then on, you'll be my company secretary. If you're competent in the job after one year, you'll sign a formal contract."

All 16 women were selected by the personnel department. Dong Qing ultimately kept the last 14 and assigned them to various departments for use.

When Dongqing got home that evening, he said to his wife, "Honey, I booked the plane tickets at the airport after I came back from the provincial capital. This year, our family is going to the island to spend the Spring Festival with my third sister. You don't object, do you?"

Li Yuzhu asked, "Where can we spend the New Year? What date are the flights?"

Dong Qing said, "My flight is on the 26th of the twelfth lunar month. There are only two weeks left. I should arrange the company's work in advance."

Li Yuzhu nodded and said, "I understand."

As the Spring Festival approached, Fang Lin's husband, Song Yunfei, completed his resignation procedures.

Leaving a job and resigning are not the same thing. Leaving a job means temporarily leaving the job position, and you can come back to work in the future. Your household registration and all your files will still be with the original unit. Resigning means leaving the unit completely.

Back then, Dongqing's three older sisters and Fang Lin resigned, and they had no intention of going back to work.

In the afternoon, Song Yunfei quickly packed his luggage, got into the car with his three children, and drove towards the provincial capital.

Fang Lin arrived at the provincial capital real estate branch around 4 p.m., arranged some work, and then drove home with her husband.

With three children, it was absolutely necessary to hire a nanny. On the way home, Fang Lin took her husband directly to a housekeeping company to hire a nanny, and then brought the nanny home with them.

That evening, Dongqing and his wife drove home after get off work and saw Yifei standing in front of their house.

After Dongqing acquired the machinery factory, he rarely saw her in the past eight years.

Yi Feifei is now 46 years old and is no longer as flamboyant as she used to be. However, she was incredibly beautiful when she was young, and she won't look particularly ugly in her old age.

Her makeup and dressing up seemed to be a deliberate attempt to hold onto her youth, but youth was slipping further and further away from her, and even careful makeup could not hide the marks left by time.

When people get old, they get old. Once youth is gone, all that's left are the marks of time.

No matter how beautiful a woman is in her youth, her beauty will eventually fade. Now, all that remains of her are the petals after the flowers have withered. No matter how beautiful the petals may be, they have long lost their brilliance. Her once jet-black hair has also gradually turned gray.

Dong Qing and his wife knew about Yi Feifei's divorce from her husband five years ago, and they had not heard that she had remarried. They wondered why she came to their house today.

Whether Yi Feifei's conduct was good or bad when she was young has nothing to do with Dong Qing. Whether it was a monetary transaction or a favor, she had helped Dong Qing a lot in the past, so since she came to his door today, he should treat her with courtesy.

Dong Qing got out of the car and said with a smile, "Sister Feifei, you're a rare guest! What made you think of my house?"

Yi Feifei said, "My sister needs your help. Can I come into the house to talk?"

"Of course you can."

After Dong Qing finished speaking, he took out the key and opened the gate. Li Yuzhu drove the car into the yard, and after getting out of the car, they walked together towards the living room of the villa.

They went to the living room and sat down. Li Yuzhu poured Yi Feifei a cup of tea, and she took the cup and said thank you.

Dongqing said, "Sister Feifei, you must have something to tell me since you came to my house. Tell me, and I'll help you no matter what difficulties you face."

What Dong Qing said was true. After all, this woman had helped him a lot in the past. Yi Feifei's ex-husband, that good-for-nothing, couldn't help him at all. It was always she who helped him.

Dong Qing's life in the 1980s was completely different from now. Back then, he would run into obstacles wherever he went, and he had to ask Yi Feifei for help many times. That is the main reason why Dong Qing is willing to help him now.

Yi Feifei said, "You know that layoffs have been common in recent years, and this time it's my turn. I'm only forty-six years old this year, and I can't just sit at home and rest. I'm also a college graduate. Can you help me find a job at your company? I'm old and faded now, and I don't even have a home. I have to work to support myself."

Yi Feifei cried at the end, saying that she was too promiscuous when she was young, and it was too late to realize it when she got old.

When she was young, many men protected her, but now that she's old and faded, who will protect her? Otherwise, she wouldn't be among those laid off.

Some people might ask, "Didn't his former lover abandon him?"

She is 46 years old this year. Her former lovers were all much older than her. Now that they are retired, who can care about her?

No matter how well-behaved she is now, she was a womanizer in her youth, and unsurprisingly, she was laid off this year.

It's difficult for someone her age to find a suitable job. Generally, no one wants to hire her for odd jobs. After all, she's an educated woman, and she wouldn't be interested in most jobs.

Dong Qing asked, "What did you study in college?"

Yi Feifei said, "I was among the first batch of college students after the resumption of the college entrance examination, and I studied automotive mechanical engineering at the college."
