Xiang Jin nodded: "Yes, that's me."
"Hello, I'm Yunxin from the HR department. Director Chen has been waiting for you for a long time. Is it convenient for you to come in for the interview now?"
"Can."
Xiang Jin followed Yun Xin toward the office.
"What's going on? Wasn't she the last one to arrive? Why is she being interviewed first?" At this moment, Fan Youwei stood up from her seat, and the other interviewees also stood up.
"That's right, there has to be a first come, first served order."
"She just got in like that, who knows if she got in through connections, which makes one question the fairness of the interview process."
Everyone chimed in, pointing their fingers at Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin looked at Yun Xin: "Should I wait a bit longer and let them come in first?"
"For those who are capable, it doesn't matter whether they join early or late; for those who aren't capable, it doesn't matter whether they join early or late. Why bother talking to them so much? Director Chen said he'd see you first. If the others have any objections, they can go back on their own."
Xiang Jin quietly gave a thumbs up.
Miss Yun Xin's temper is just as fierce as Bai Ning Shuang's; they're both incredibly sassy.
The other interviewees sat down again.
Although they had some complaints, they didn't want to miss the rare opportunity to join Yixin Design.
Xiang Jin entered the director's office.
Director Chen, Chen Anxing, looked to be around thirty years old. He had a beard typical of artists and dressed very smartly and professionally. He looked Xiang Jin up and down and asked, "Do you recognize this work?"
He was holding a painting called "Dead Bird".
This painting won the 13th Hengxing Award Gold Medal, but no one claimed the award after the judging. The painting is currently on display at the Huaguo Art Museum.
Xiang Jin nodded: "Dead bird, what dies is the flesh, but the soul remains unyielding."
This is a commentary on "Dead Bird," which once shocked the art world and went viral online.
"Do you know the artist of this painting?" Director Chen asked.
"I am the author."
Xiang Jin took out a sketchbook from her bag, which contained the original artwork for "Dead Bird".
Director Chen was stunned.
After a long pause, he solemnly extended his hand to Xiang Jin: "Miss Xiang, welcome to Yixin."
Chen Anxing asked her about "Dead Bird" because after seeing her work, he noticed that the style was very similar to that of the author of "Dead Bird," which made him suspect something. After seeing the original artwork, all his doubts were dispelled.
Xiang Jin is the person he is looking for.
After leaving the office, Yun Xin led Xiang Jin to the lobby.
"Alright, everyone, you don't need to wait any longer. Yixin has decided to hire Miss Xiang. You can all go back now."
"Why?!" Fan Youwei was the first to stand up. "She recorded later, so what does Yixin mean by this?!"
"Exactly, why did you choose her?"
"Isn't this just causing misunderstandings, making people think that someone has opened a window?" Everyone pointed at Xiang Jin with veiled sarcasm.
"Hiring her is a company decision, and the company doesn't need to explain it to you. If you're so capable, you can try to circumvent it yourself." After saying that, Yun Xin turned and left.
The interviewee was left looking furious.
They looked at Xiang Jin.
Their eyes held envy, jealousy, and even more resentment.
Xiang Jin said nothing, took the things, and silently left through the gate.
As usual, Xiang Jin went to Bai Ningshuang's house.
Bai Ningshuang said she wanted to celebrate finding a new job, and since Sun Yanqing was going abroad, they decided to have a celebratory dinner and a farewell dinner together.
The location was chosen by Sun Yanqing; it was luxurious yet understated.
However, the four-digit figures following each dish are a bit alarming.
"This place is so high-class..." Bai Ningshuang smiled and opened a bottle of red wine worth tens of thousands of yuan.
“I’m leaving tomorrow, can’t you tone down that smile a little?” Sun Yanqing poured himself half a glass, walked past Xiang Jin, and poured another glass for Bai Ningshuang.
"Why should I restrain myself? It's not like you're not coming back."
"But this time you can't just leave without saying a word like last time. When the flight schedule comes out, Ah Jin and I will come to see you off."
"As long as you can get up, I have no problem with it."
He turned his gaze to Xiang Jin: "I heard the interview went well. When are you going to report for duty?"
"Next week." Xiang Jin poured herself a glass of wine.
"Ah Jin, your throat has just recovered, so let's skip the wine." Sun Yanqing frowned and reached for her wine glass, but Xiang Jin beat him to it and drank it all in one gulp.
"On such a special occasion, we should at least have a drink, right?" Xiang Jin smiled slightly.
She hadn't been this happy in a long time.
While Murong Xiao was away, she was going to indulge herself!
"What's there to be afraid of? With a doctor like you here, what's a little drinking!" Bai Ningshuang poured Xiang Jin's glass, and the three of them clinked glasses.
"Exactly, I'm happy!"
"You should at least give me a send-off today, Ah Jin, why are you so happy about this?" Sun Yanqing said, both amused and exasperated.
"Alright, alright, let's eat first. After we finish, we'll head over to the second half. Tonight, listen to me, we'll drink until we drop, and we won't leave until we're completely drunk!"
The three chatted casually, and after a few drinks, they were all a little tipsy, but they had a very pleasant conversation.
"Hey, isn't that the pretty Xiang? What's she doing here?" Gu Feiyang happened to be passing by and wanted to go up and answer her, but was pulled away by the person next to him.
"Let's go, Young Master Gu. Your older brother has arrived. I won't stand for him when he has to drink the penalty shot!"
"That's right!"
Gu Feiyang was pulled into the private room and saw Murong Xiao sitting in the middle. He waved with a grin and said, "Brother, guess who I saw."
"Could it be one of your little lovers?" Murong Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Xiang Xiaomei! Does she count? She's drinking with a man right now, tsk tsk tsk, she's quite intimidating."
Murong Xiao paused slightly: "Who are you talking about?"
"Little beauty Xiang, Xiang Jin, don't you remember me?"
Xiang Jin poured herself another cup.
Although the alcohol had made her dizzy, she was in an unusually good mood. Just as the three of them were drinking together, a cold and aloof figure suddenly stood in front of the table.
"Is the wine good?" Murong Xiao's expression was a little unpleasant, and his slightly angry eyes swept over Xiang Jin.
Xiang Jin was stunned.
She was a little confused, not even knowing who the person in front of her was, and just nodded mechanically: "It's delicious, do you want to try some?"
The wine glass was handed to Murong Xiao.
Murong Xiao's face darkened.
He snatched the wine glass, placed it on the table, and pulled her outside.
"Who are you? What are you doing! Let me go! If you don't let me go, I'll call for help! Help! This is indecent assault! Help! This is kidnapping a woman!"
Murong Xiao's face darkened even more.
The atmosphere around us suddenly turned cold, as if it were freezing everything.
"The wine tastes good, doesn't it?"
Murong Xiao placed the wine bottle in front of her and sat down next to her: "Here, try drinking some more."
Xiang Jin was slightly taken aback, and quickly waved her hand: "Too much, I...I can't drink it all."
"I told you to drink it!"
With a roar, the three people at the table trembled, and Xiang Jin turned pale with fright.
