Lin Xia's big eyes widened, her mouth slightly open, as she was momentarily overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information.
Such a big company belongs to Lin An? That's amazing.
Lin Haoran has been detained?
And Xu Mo thinks she's here to cause trouble and ask for money? And he's afraid she'll want to make up?
She had indeed planned to reconcile with Xu Mo before, believing it to be a shortcut in life, but she no longer thought so.
Especially in the last few days, she has become very familiar with the aunt who makes chicken frames at the night market. The aunt told her that she can earn more than 300 a day, more than her husband earns, and she is very proud to be able to support her family.
Lin Xia envied the aunt's contented smile. This time, she wanted to try relying on herself, not a man.
She will no longer beg any man to support her, nor will she follow her parents' example and resort to moral blackmail.
Lin Xia was speechless for a moment, tears welling up in her eyes. She opened and closed her mouth a few times, unsure where to begin explaining. All she wanted was a job that could earn her money.
Seeing that her eyes were red and she was getting irritated, Xu Mo said angrily:
"I'm warning you, don't try that. Crying won't help; I won't soften my heart!"
Lin Xia remained silent, but tears welled up in her eyes, streaming down her small face.
Xu Mo was somewhat at a loss. He let out a heavy breath, as if he had made up his mind:
"I give up. Tell me, how much money do you want? As long as it's not too outrageous, I can give you some. After all, you're having a tough time right now. This is a one-time thing, understand? Don't try to extort me!"
Seeing Lin Xia crying with tears streaming down her face, Xu Mo just wanted to get rid of the trouble as soon as possible. He took out his phone and prepared to transfer money to Lin Xia.
Although they had blocked each other on WeChat, they still had Alipay. Moreover, because Xu Mo had frequently transferred money to Lin Xia in the past, Lin Xia's bank card information was still saved on various mobile banking apps. Whenever he clicked on the transfer option, Lin Xia's account information would pop up first for him to choose from.
That's how smartphones are; you might have forgotten someone, but the phone's keyboard and various apps have excellent memories and will remind you of that person's existence from time to time.
"Alright, alright, stop crying. Just tell me how much you want," Xu Mo urged impatiently.
Lin Xia wiped away her tears and said softly, her voice thick with emotion, "I'm sorry!"
"What!?" Xu Mo trembled upon hearing this.
Lin Xia raised her voice and said, word by word, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry to you, I apologize for the mistakes I made!"
"I am sorry for your past sincerity, I am sorry for what you have done for me. I took advantage of you and deceived you. I did so many wrong things, but I was still stubborn and did not apologize to you properly. I feel very guilty."
"I don't expect you to forgive me, and I don't hope to get back together with you. I just want to tell you that I was wrong about what happened in the past. Not all women are like me. I hope I haven't left you with any psychological trauma. I hope you take love seriously and find a suitable partner."
Xu Mo was completely stunned. Lin Xia had never apologized so sincerely before, even when she was so scared that she wet her pants. What was going on? Instead of bothering him, she was blessing him.
"You only came to see me to apologize?" Xu Mo asked defensively, his arms crossed over his chest.
Lin Xia rubbed her nose and looked at Xu Mo, saying, "No."
Upon hearing this, Xu Mo snorted coldly. He knew this woman wouldn't let him off so easily, and that she would cling to him like an octopus once she saw that he had become successful.
Lin Xia paused for a moment, then said seriously, "I'm here to look for a job."
"I've passed the initial interview. As long as you don't make things difficult for me, I can get this job."
As she spoke, she pushed the resume in her hand towards me.
Xu Mo's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected Lin Xia to actually be willing to work. He knew her previous job well; Lin Haoran had put her in a partner company where she basically did nothing and was always complaining about being tired.
Lin Xia added, "You said it yourself, we're even now. I hope you'll be fair and impartial, and handle things officially. Don't let personal grudges cost me my job."
Xu Mo wanted to refute it, but it was indeed his own words that they were even.
He steeled himself, picked up Lin Xia's resume, and laughed after reading it for less than two minutes.
Xu Mo joked, "Are you proficient in PowerPoint, Excel, Word, and all kinds of office software?"
As far as he knew, Lin Xia only knew how to copy and paste, and was almost completely clueless about software.
Lin Xia blushed and gave Xu Mo a silly smile, trying to brush it off.
Xu Mo wasn't going to let her off the hook, teasingly asking, "You even have management experience?"
Lin Xia touched her nose and whispered, "I used to be in charge of the company's plants."
"You even studied abroad?"
"Did you visit many Fortune 500 companies during your trip?"
"Oh, I understand. Can you specify which companies?" Xu Mo asked with a playful expression.
Lin Xia pursed her lips and answered with a forced smile, "LV, Gucci, Chanel, Prada..."
Her voice grew softer and softer until it disappeared.
Xu Mo smiled and said, "That's right, they're all luxury goods. Do you have any company training related to our business?"
Lin Xia forced out a smile that looked more like a grimace, her eyes practically screaming that she had already begged for mercy.
If she had known that the person she was interviewing with in the final round was Xu Mo, she would never have made up any nonsense on her resume.
The feeling of being exposed for trying to impress someone you know is unbearable. Lin Xia was so embarrassed that she could dig a three-bedroom apartment out of the ground with her toes.
Who would have thought she'd run into her old flame at the job interview? Everyone else's resumes were falsified, so why was she the only one so unlucky? Aside from her family, Xu Mo was the person who understood her best.
Xu Mo's smile faded, and he said seriously:
"I'm sorry, Ms. Lin, but given the significant discrepancy between your actual situation and the description on your resume, we cannot hire you."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xia became anxious; she really needed a job.
“But my job involves receiving and sending packages and maintaining office supplies, right? I don’t think I need those skills and training. I think I can handle it.”
Xu Mo thought what she said made a lot of sense. He even thought it was crazy to set the recruitment threshold for such jobs, which could be mastered with just a little teaching, as undergraduate students.
However, he really didn't want to hire Lin Xia. First of all, he couldn't get past Lin An's approval. Seeing Lin Xia at the company would easily affect Lin An's mood at work. Secondly, he didn't know what Lin Xia was up to, and he didn't want to dig a hole for himself.
Xu Mo looked at Lin Xia seriously and said, "I'm sorry, I have to be impartial. As the company's vice president, I cannot hire an interviewee who falsified their resume."
