Chapter 152: Dog Eyes Look Down on People
The two of them sorted themselves out and walked to the front desk to ask. Lin Jiahao asked politely, "Hello, we are here to apply for a job. Where should we go?"
The front desk lady smiled professionally and said in a soft and sweet voice: "Hello, please register here first, then take the elevator to the third floor, turn right after exiting the elevator and you will see the Human Resources Department."
Lin Jiahao and Chen Xiaohui registered as instructed and walked into the elevator. In the small space, there were only the two of them, and the tense atmosphere seemed to be infinitely magnified.
Chen Xiaohui looked at the rising numbers and whispered, "I heard that the interview for this company is very difficult and the requirements are very high. I don't think I can do it." If it weren't for his relationship with Lin Jiahao, he wouldn't even dare to think about working here.
Good news never travels far, but bad news travels far and wide. After that day, somehow the news about him and Lin Jiahao got out, and everyone in the school knew about it. The classmates in the school looked at them with tinted glasses.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was about to graduate and if something happened it would affect his graduation, he wouldn't have tolerated this.
As soon as he graduated, his parents packed his luggage overnight and rushed him out, almost telling others that their son was going to work at Qin Wu's company.
Ever since they knew that Lin Jiahao was Lin Jianyan's younger brother, Chen's father and mother straightened their backs a lot. They no longer cared whether it was a man or a woman. Whoever could protect their son was a good person.
Lin Jiahao also thought of the rumors in school and patted him on the shoulder gently: "Don't scare yourself. We have real abilities, so what are we afraid of?" Even so, his palms were slightly sweaty.
The two of them took the elevator to the third floor, straightened their clothes, and nervously knocked on the door of the Human Resources Department.
"Come in." A deep voice came from inside the room. Chen Xiaohui and Lin Jiahao slowly opened the door and saw a spacious and simply decorated office. Three interviewers sat behind a long table. They had calm expressions, but their eyes were sharp and scrutinizing, as if they could see through people's hearts.
The interviewer in the middle was a middle-aged man with neatly combed hair and wearing a pair of black-framed glasses. He spoke first, "Applying for a job, right? Come in."
After saying that, he shook his head at the man in front of him, "I'm sorry, sir, you don't quite meet our recruitment criteria, you can go back."
A trace of disappointment and frustration flashed across the rejected man's face, but he still silently picked up his resume and materials on the table, stood up, and walked towards the door with slightly heavy steps.
When passing by Chen Xiaohui and Lin Jiahao, that lonely figure seemed to weigh down their hearts, making the already tense atmosphere even more depressing.
Chen Xiaohui and Lin Jiahao walked into the office and closed the door gently. They sat down and handed their resumes to the interviewer.
The three interviewers just took a casual look at me, and when they saw that I was not a graduate of a prestigious university or a returnee, their attitude became cold.
"Are you guys together? You're not from here, are you? Do you have any work experience? What do your parents do?"
Both of them stood up straight with serious attitudes.
Lin Jiahao said: "We have no work experience. We just graduated this year. My parents opened a small restaurant and the profit is pretty good."
Chen Xiaohui frowned in dissatisfaction when he heard their questions. "We are here to apply for a job. It has nothing to do with whether we are local or what our parents do, right?"
The serious interviewer in the middle glanced at him impatiently and said, "Just answer whatever I ask."
Lin Jiahao quickly pulled Chen Xiaohui's clothes, signaling him not to be impulsive. Chen Xiaohui gritted his teeth and swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
At this time, the female interviewer next to me coughed lightly and said, "Although our company attaches great importance to education and experience, they are not the only criteria. The reason why we ask about your family situation is that if you have a good family, you will have more capital to cultivate your own vision, way of thinking and some interpersonal skills."
Chen Xiaohui rolled his eyes in his heart: Why don't I believe it? Why do I always meet people who look down on others?
Although I still felt a little resistant, I also knew that this was not the time to be willful, so I suppressed my dissatisfaction and replied, "My family owns a company with two factories. It's not that big, but it's OK."
After he said this, the interviewers looked at him with a much softer look and asked some more questions. After the two of them answered while suppressing their anger, the three interviewers whispered to each other for a while.
Then the man in the middle cleared his throat and said righteously: "We have read your resumes, and they are just average. However, Mr. Chen's resume is better, so we can only recruit Mr. Chen."
Chen Xiaohui was furious when he heard this. He stood up and glared at them, "What do you mean my resume is better? We both graduated from the same university, and Ah Hao was even an outstanding graduate with top grades. Isn't he better than me?!"
"Your recruitment criteria only focus on people's family background?"
Lin Jiahao's face was not very good either. "Although I didn't graduate from a famous school and I have never been abroad, I think my ability is no worse than that of students from famous schools."
"I have participated in many competitions and won many trophies, big and small. If you only look at a person's family background to determine his or her ability, I can only say that it is a shame to work with you."
The faces of several interviewers suddenly turned gloomy. These experienced people in the workplace were scolded by two young boys, and they were naturally very angry.
The interviewer named Wang in the middle slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his face unchanged, "You two young people, do you understand the basic etiquette of the workplace? This is an interview, not a place for you to act wildly! We have our own evaluation process and standards, how can you make groundless accusations and reckless remarks here..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door. He frowned, "Who is it? Wait a minute, can't you see that I'm being interviewed?"
Qin Wu, who was standing outside the door, raised his eyebrows, pushed the door open and went in. "Old Wang, why are you so angry? Who made you angry?"
When the interviewers in the room saw the newcomer, they were all startled and stood up nervously. The interviewer in the middle, who was called Lao Wang, quickly brought a chair, put on a smile, and spoke in an especially polite tone: "Boss, why are you here? Please take a seat."
Qin Wu waved his hand and said, "I won't sit down anymore. I'm here to see how your recruitment is going. By the way, Ah Hao, your brother is waiting for you in my office. After you finish your application, remember to come to my office later."
Lin Jiahao blinked, looked at the confused interviewer, and smiled cheerfully, "I know, brother. I'll go up in a moment."
