Don't be nervous, the interviewer is nervous too.
Jiang Chuan finally had no choice but to agree to the Earl's request to enter the probationary period.
Otherwise, I would be completely harassed by this shameless cat and have no personal space at all.
His willingness to agree clearly rekindled the HR man's confidence, and he began to talk at length about the benefits offered by his management bureau through the glass sliding door of the restroom.
"You humans are always trapped in not being able to find your own talents. Some unfortunate people don't even realize what they are truly good at and love until they are old and frail."
"If you become one of us, you won't have these worries at all. We'll give you a free magic talent test..."
"...Putting everything else aside, Mr. Jiang Chuan, you are truly suited for this industry; I can see it in your genes. You will be the most powerful magical girl our Bureau has seen in decades, without a doubt..."
While speaking eloquently, it didn't forget to praise Yi and Erchuan without regard for the facts. Since when have magical creatures been able to... observe human genes with the naked eye?
All I can say is that they are very adept at understanding human relationships and social dynamics.
"Don't be too intimidated by the tasks during your probation period. It's actually just like playing a game; the process is fun and exciting..."
Jiang Chuan emerged from the bathroom expressionlessly, having finished his shower amidst the chattering of the talkative cat.
"Well then, human, let's see your magical talent now!" The count excitedly followed Jiang Chuan back to the bedroom, where he was then locked out of the bedroom.
Jiang Chuan was changing clothes when he heard this sound through the door. He calmly refused, "No, let's talk about it at 7:15 pm. I have to go to work now."
Today marks his first official day at work for the second time in his nearly thirty years of life... serving as the president of his own company.
When Jiang Chuan came out of the bedroom again, he was dressed in a suit and tie.
It's clear that this outfit is at least high-end custom-made; the three-piece suit—shirt, vest, and blazer—covers her up very well, and every inch fits perfectly to accentuate her figure.
Broad shoulders, narrow waist, tall and slender figure – this would be the standard male inverted triangle physique in figure sketches.
It's clearly just a common black suit with a white shirt underneath, a look that's hard to go wrong with, but it doesn't give off any impression of being a real estate agent or insurance salesperson.
Already possessing a composed demeanor, her skin further enhances this...
He has a very mature male...attractiveness.
Ignoring the scenery before him, the count casually said, "Then I'll go with you." He then got into the car with Jiang Chuan.
Jiang Chuan ignored him, after all, he might not be able to stop him anyway—and then he regretted it.
Even the richest person can't experience the feeling of free driving during the morning rush hour in a bustling city, so Jiang Chuan successfully got stuck in traffic for 23 minutes.
Keep in mind that his normal commute time is only 20 minutes. But on days when the traffic jams combined with his normal commute time totaled 44 minutes, the Earl's long-winded monologues from the passenger seat made the days even more unbearable.
Jiang Chuan silently put on his Bluetooth headset...
His office space was rented on the 16th floor of Chuangzhi Yunjing, a chain of high-end office buildings. As soon as he arrived on the 16th floor, the company's only employee came to greet him.
Song Zhiming is the president's special assistant that Jiang Chuan recruited through a headhunter.
Generally speaking, there are more specific branches to such president's assistants, such as... whether they are more like administrative secretaries or young talent development assistants.
The former are mostly young and outstanding women with comprehensive abilities, but they are mainly responsible for some administrative and life matters, and their job content is somewhat similar to that of a celebrity agent.
The latter are often cultivated as key personnel of the company, and if things go smoothly in the future, they can become the company's vice president or directly become the successor of the president.
Song Zhiming belongs to the latter category.
As for why Jiang Chuan is already... well... training a successor when there are only two people in the company, no one knows the reason at present. Maybe he just thinks the latter's ability sounds stronger?
"Good morning, Mr. Jiang. Regarding the recruitment matters you previously instructed me to handle, I have already screened out the resumes that meet the requirements, and the candidates who can be interviewed will arrive at 10:30."
The assistant, who appeared to be a bit younger than Jiang Chuan, reported on the work situation very efficiently.
Jiang Chuan walked side by side with Song Zhiming, but it had been a long time since he had been so close to a woman—or more accurately, perhaps "the same kind" would be a fitting description.
He seemed somewhat uncomfortable, remaining silent and only nodding to indicate that he understood, his facial expression remaining tense throughout.
Fortunately, Song Zhiming was first-rate at reading people's expressions and quickly noticed the chairman's discomfort, so he consciously distanced himself.
Today, the only task for Zhixing Game Design Studio is to conduct interviews.
As the main interviewer... Jiang Chuan had both good news and bad news.
The bad news is that he has severe social anxiety.
It depends on his condition. When he's in a bad mood, he becomes a complete autistic mute.
When he's in a good mood, he can manage to have a normal conversation, albeit with some difficulty. Today he's feeling good, and Jiang Chuan plans to take advantage of this to break out of his comfort zone.
The only solution at present is that he can imagine the other party as a magical creature. Jiang Chuan can communicate normally with magical creatures, but not with people.
The good news is that he is both the main interviewer and the boss, and he sets the interview process, which allows him to avoid some procedures that he doesn't want to do or can't do.
As for why someone with severe social anxiety would be so desperate as to start a company...
This is a long story, so let's leave it at that for now.
At this very moment, just as nervous as Jiang Chuan, a young man dressed in ordinary clothes and with a slightly dejected expression was pacing back and forth outside the gate of Chuangzhi Yunjing.
He is one of the people who are coming to Zhixing Games for an interview today.
As an ordinary college graduate with no academic background, not a local, and with very little work experience, I am just a typical office worker.
Zhuang Xu never imagined that the small startup he randomly picked on a job search app would actually be located in Chuangzhi Cloud View.
The high-end, stylish building made him feel somewhat out of place, and he felt unconsciously much smaller.
I'm not even sure if I should go in.
It seems like even if you get in, you're just destined to be rejected; you're just doing the job to boost the HR department's performance.
But... we've already come this far.
Zhuang Xu made a tough decision. He remembered that he had signed a contract for a variety show, so he decided to go no matter what.
He has been in S City for two months now, and after two months he has not found a job, his savings are on the verge of running out.
I happened to see an online advertisement for the observational variety show "The Survival Diary of Contemporary Workers," which was recruiting ordinary people. Successful applicants would receive a grant for their participation.
Zhuang Xu applied with a "let's give it a try" attitude, and unexpectedly, he was actually hired after two months of unemployed wandering. Could this be considered a different kind of...blessing in disguise?
This observational variety show is exactly as the name suggests: selecting ordinary people, recording footage, and editing it into a final product.
Some are unemployed youths, some are relatively "older" professional women in the workplace, and some are middle-aged corporate slaves, etc.
The production team will not reveal the names of the ordinary participants or their companies; their privacy is absolutely guaranteed, and confidentiality agreements will be signed in this regard.
In addition, a portion of the observation funding will be given to the ordinary people and companies being filmed, so from this perspective, the program is feasible.
But for it to actually be implemented...
It's likely that besides being financially powerful, the production team also has some unspeakable driving forces behind it.
Before the interview, Zhuang Xu had already communicated with the HR of Zhixing Games about the recording.
Fortunately, the other party didn't mind being recorded on the show.
After mentally preparing himself once again, Zhuang Xu finally stepped into the gate of Chuangzhi Yunjing.
We made our way up to the 16th floor.
The staff here all exuded the aura of business elites, causing Zhuang Xu's hard-earned self-image to crumble little by little.
He even had the unsettling feeling that... the cleaning lady over there was several heights taller than him.
In the elevator filled with a group of high-end white-collar workers, Zhuang Xu trembled slightly.
Arriving on the 16th floor, this entire floor was completely different from the other floors, incredibly spacious.
It's also quite quiet.
Although there was a high-end, classy reception desk, there was no one there.
Zhuang Xu checked the company name to make sure he hadn't gone to the wrong place before sending a text message to the HR who had hired him.
[Zhuang Xu: Hello, I've arrived, but it seems like no one's here?]
[Zhi Xing Games: Wait a moment, I'll be right there.]
Zhuang Xu took a deep breath, then quickly checked his appearance in the glass reflection, trying to make a good first impression on the interviewer.
Song Zhiming came out quickly. She smiled at Zhuang Xu and said, "Mr. Zhuang, please come with me."
Zhuang Xu followed nervously.
Upon entering the office area, just like Zhuang Xu's first impression from outside, there was indeed no one there. He was a little worried that he might have encountered a scammer, but then he thought, what scammer would use such a high-cost venue?
Even pyramid schemes don't operate like this, otherwise they would all go bankrupt.
"This is it. I've already sent your resume to President Jiang. He will be interviewing you next." Song Zhiming gave a brief explanation and then left; she had other things to do.
Jiang Chuan is interviewing staff for the R&D team, and she is also responsible for recruiting other staff members responsible for basic administration.
Is it a high-level interview right off the bat?
Zhuang Xu was so nervous that his hands were trembling. After finally calming down, he tentatively pushed the door open and went in.
The room wasn't what I had imagined. It was just a table, two chairs, and the typical interrogation setup with the interviewer and interviewee sitting opposite each other.
Instead... a wall?
And then there's an empty chair?
"Hello, Zhuang Xu, please sit down, don't be shy." While Zhuang Xu was still in a daze, the unseen interviewer spoke calmly.
