Seeing this, Xia Wan quickly stopped walking and paused for a moment before walking back a few steps to meet the HR staff member. She asked, "Comrade, is there some problem with my cousin and my work just now?"
Because open job sales are strictly prohibited at present, when they were processing the job transfer procedures, the two women lied to the HR staff, claiming that they were cousins of Shen Jia.
Although everyone present understood the unspoken understanding, no one dared to bring it up.
At this moment, the comrade from the personnel department waved his hand, took a deep breath, and slowly said, "Comrade Xia, don't misunderstand. There's nothing wrong with your job. It's our factory leaders who want to see you."
Upon hearing this, Zheng Yawen's heart tightened, and she looked anxious. Could it be that their secret job-buying business had been exposed?
So he quickly asked, "Sister Zhou, why does the boss want to see Xia Wan?"
The HR colleague was quite familiar with Zheng Yawen. With a smile, she shook her head and reassured her, "I'm not entirely clear on the specifics, but I don't think it's anything bad. The boss isn't angry."
The way their leader got excited when he mentioned Xia Wan's name just now shows how much he values Xia Wan.
Xia Wan's eyes flickered slightly as she pondered to herself.
The HR staff clearly stated that there were no problems with the job transfer procedures that had just been completed, so the factory leaders must have something else to discuss with me in such a hurry.
Could it really be related to his pastry recipe, just as she suspected? The thought of this possibility made Xia Wan's heart leap into her throat.
So, with a smile, she politely asked the HR colleague, "Excuse me, ma'am, where is your supervisor right now? Would you mind showing me around?"
Ms. Zhou from the HR department nodded and readily agreed, "No problem, Comrade Xia Wan, please come with me. Our leader is waiting for you in the office just now."
Here, the leader wanted to talk to Xia Wan, and Zheng Yawen shouldn't have gone along.
However, Zheng Yawen has always been a person who loves to join in the fun and has a strong sense of curiosity, so she naturally did not want to miss such an opportunity to join in the fun.
Therefore, although she knew it was inappropriate, she still shamelessly followed the two of them all the way to the personnel department before parting ways with Xia Wan and entering her mother's office.
When Xia Wan followed the HR staff into the leader's office, she immediately noticed two leaders who looked a bit older sitting inside.
The leader looked anxious, as if he was eagerly anticipating something.
At this moment, Sister Zhou, who had brought Xia Wan here, quickly introduced her to the leader inside the room: "Leader, this is Comrade Xia Wan."
Then, he turned to Xia Wan and introduced the leader in front of him: "This is Director Bai, who is in charge of food research and development at our branch factory."
Xia Wan nodded, a hint of doubt appearing perfectly on her delicate face, as gentle as ripples on a lake in the early morning.
She pursed her lips slightly, then stepped forward and greeted Director Bai with a smile: "Director Bai, hello! I wonder what brings you here to see me?"
Although she asked that question, Xia Wan already knew it must be about the pastry recipe.
Upon hearing Xia Wan's greeting, Director Bai's originally serious face instantly blossomed into a kind and approachable smile.
He waved his hand gently, signaling Xia Wan not to be too reserved, and then said slowly, "Hehe, Comrade Xia, don't be nervous. Actually, I came here today mainly to find out about the exam. Why did you only finish half of your test paper?"
As he said this, Director Bai couldn't help but mutter to himself.
In fact, when he first saw the pastry recipe that Xia Wan submitted, he already had the idea of hiring her directly.
After all, based on his many years of experience, this recipe is quite outstanding in terms of both creativity and feasibility.
However, what troubled him was that among all the test takers, besides Xia Wan, there were indeed three other comrades whose written answers were exceptionally brilliant.
Looking back at Xia Wan's test paper, although she answered the part where she had written the answers very well, it was a pity that she only completed half of it.
This sparked a heated debate among the leaders in charge of the recruitment process.
If the original plan of recruiting only three workers for the food research and development department is still followed, then unfortunately, Xia Wan will probably miss out on this job.
It was with this in mind that Director Bai decided to talk to Xia Wan in person to find out why this young comrade left most of the exam paper blank and instead wrote down such an exquisite pastry recipe in the corner.
If it were just that prescription in front of him, perhaps he wouldn't have been so emotionally agitated and unable to control himself.
However, the key point is that there is a line of small print neatly written below the recipe: "Save ingredients and use other ingredients to make the cake softer, thereby maximizing profits!"
At this moment, Xia Wan lowered her eyes slightly, as if she had carefully considered and deliberated in the depths of her mind, before slowly raising her head and saying softly, "Leader, I suppose you noticed the recipe for making pastries when you were looking at my test paper."
To be honest, since I was a child, I've had a strong interest in all kinds of food and enjoyed researching them. I've actually come up with quite a few recipes, or rather, cookbooks, for pastries like this one.
Upon hearing this, Director Bai, who had been sitting upright, widened his eyes instantly, his face filled with disbelief. He then eagerly pressed for an answer:
"Are you serious about what you just said? In other words, the point you made on the exam paper, that you don't need to use too many eggs to make a cake that is still soft and delicious, is that something you actually practiced before?"
Faced with Director Bai's rapid-fire questions, Xia Wan nodded calmly, her eyes firm and confident, and her tone sincere and steady as she answered:
"It's absolutely true, sir. If you don't believe me, I'd be happy to make one for you right here and now so you can taste it for yourself and verify whether what I'm saying is true."
Director Bai nodded, his face beaming with joy: "Alright, alright, Comrade Xia, please wait here for me for a moment."
