Chen Ma was an elderly woman in the old house, and she knew the rules quite well, so naturally she didn't want to overstep them.
She politely declined, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, young mistress. You and young master Xibao eat first. We'll go downstairs and eat after you've finished!"
The Si family villa has separate rooms for servants and a dining room, where they usually eat.
"Alright!" Su Niannian saw that Chen Ma insisted on not eating at the same table with them, so she didn't force her.
She quickly finished her breakfast, stood up, and said, "I'm done eating, Xibao. Mommy has to go now. You have to be a good girl at home and listen to your aunt and Aunt Chen. Don't be naughty, okay?"
Xi Bao said, drawing out the last syllable, "Okay~"
Su Niannian said to Chen Ma, "Thank you for taking good care of Xibao!"
"Don't worry, young mistress, I will take good care of young master Xibao," Chen Ma assured her confidently.
Su Niannian nodded, "Okay, goodbye Aunt Chen, goodbye Xibao."
Just as she was about to leave, Xibao pulled out a diamond necklace from somewhere and insisted that she wear it.
Su Niannian couldn't persuade her son otherwise, so she had no choice but to let Xibao put it around her neck.
She wore a diamond necklace, carried a limited-edition handbag, wore a haute couture dress, and wore genuine leather high heels. Her family's driver escorted her to the company in a private car.
Whether it was just Su Niannian's imagination or not, she felt less like she was going for a job interview and more like she was on a company inspection tour, with a sense of being the boss...
The car soon arrived at the street where the Si Group building was located. At Su Niannian's repeated requests, the driver stopped one intersection ahead of time.
Su Niannian took off the diamond necklace around her neck and put it in her bag. She then took out a wet wipe to remove her delicate makeup and put on light makeup before getting out of the car.
If she had a spare bag, shoes, and clothes, she would change all her belongings without hesitation.
Unfortunately, there was nothing in the car.
She could only try her best to change her appearance so that she wouldn't look like a rich person.
To avoid misunderstandings, she got out of the car at the old house and walked the entire one-kilometer distance without taking a taxi or bus.
Because it was her first time wearing high heels, she was not used to them and even got blisters on her heels, but Su Niannian gritted her teeth and persevered.
The Si Group is located in the heart of Kyoto’s most bustling CBD in the Minami Ward, and is also the tallest building in the area, with a total of 88 floors.
Su Niannian stood downstairs, looking up at the tallest building. It seemed to stretch endlessly into the clouds, and was incredibly majestic.
This is where the man she loves most works, and it's also the property her son will inherit in the future.
In order for her son Xi Bao to be able to control the fate of everyone in this building twenty years from now, as Xi Bao's mother, she feels it is necessary to do her part for her son's future assets.
Even if it's only for a short year, she will do her job to the best of her ability and dedicate her efforts to this building.
After mentally preparing herself, Su Niannian stepped directly into the door of the tallest office building.
She approached the front desk with a professional smile and politely asked the receptionist, "Hello, miss, which floor do we interview on?"
The receptionist looked Su Niannian up and down, her gaze traveling from her delicate face to her high heels. She noticed that Su Niannian was dressed in haute couture from well-known brands, exuding luxury and taste.
She assumed Su Niannian was a wealthy heiress from a powerful family, a rising star in the entertainment industry, or a popular online influencer who had come to their company looking for a "golden husband."
Little did they expect that she had come to the company for a job interview.
She thought to herself, "Is finding a job this difficult and competitive these days? People dressed in haute couture still don't have job opportunities."
It seems I need to cherish my current job and absolutely cannot lose my livelihood.
Otherwise, her height alone would be something she could never hope to achieve in her lifetime.
She paused for a few seconds, then asked uncertainly, "Excuse me, are you here for an interview today...? Did you submit your resume beforehand?"
"Yes! But I haven't submitted any resumes," Su Niannian said truthfully.
"Oh? Did you make an appointment in advance?" the receptionist asked again.
"No, not at all!" Su Niannian answered shyly.
Yesterday, Si Lijue only told her that the Si family does not support idlers. If she wanted to stay with Xibao, she would have to come to the company for an interview based on her own abilities. Only after being hired would she be considered qualified.
He didn't tell her about the interview process, or that she needed to submit her resume and make an appointment in advance.
The receptionist smiled apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, people who come to our company for interviews usually submit their resumes in advance. Our HR department sees the resumes and thinks they are suitable before notifying them to come for an interview."
Alternatively, only those who have made an appointment directly with senior management of the company can go directly for an interview.
If you haven't submitted your resume on our company website or made an appointment with one of our executives, it might not be possible!
Su Niannian frowned in thought, considering whether she should leave immediately or try to negotiate with the receptionist and get her help.
However, if she turned to leave immediately, she would feel reluctant to do so, just thinking of Xi Bao's expectant eyes.
After weighing her options, she decided to try communicating with the receptionist again, hoping that she would have a change of heart and give her a chance to interview at the company.
"Can't you make an exception? Look, I'm already here. If I just leave like this, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?"
"I'm sorry, I'm just a receptionist, I really can't make that decision, you really can't come into the company." The receptionist remained unmoved.
"Then you can call the administrative supervisor to ask for instructions, right?" Su Niannian suggested as a second-best option.
“No, if every visitor were like you, we wouldn’t be able to do our job,” the receptionist said, still refusing.
Su Niannian knew that the receptionist was just doing her job and truthfully relaying their company's articles of association, so she wasn't angry.
Seeing that she had no hope of getting in, she hesitated whether to call Si Lijue and ask him to make an exception for her.
Or call Lin Fei and ask him to secretly help you out.
While she was hesitating, a cheerful male voice sounded from behind: "Miss, do you want to go up?"
Su Niannian turned around and looked toward the source of the sound. She saw a man standing in the center of the hall, dressed in a bespoke suit, who was about 1.8 meters tall. He wore gold-rimmed glasses, and his obsidian-like eyes were staring at her.
His expression was indifferent, with a barely perceptible upturn at the corners of his mouth, giving him a gentle and refined air, unlike a bad person.
Su Niannian nodded, "Yes, I want to come to the company for an interview, but I don't know your company's articles of association, and I didn't submit my resume or make an appointment in advance."
"Sir, could you please take me to the administration department?"
She felt that since the man had asked, he must have the authority to let her go up. Otherwise, he wouldn't have bothered with her.
