"What did you say?"
Chen Tao thought he had misheard.
Chen Ning gritted his teeth and said, "I said, I came in first place in the written test, this spot was originally mine!"
"It was originally yours? Haha?"
Chen Tao laughed, suddenly feeling that this girl was so naive.
It seems this girl isn't planning on taking the 500,000; she's just here to cause trouble.
Upon thinking of this, Chen Tao's expression gradually turned cold. "I'm sorry, Chen Ning, after our senior management's evaluation, you do not meet the hiring standards, so you have been rejected!"
Chen Ning jumped to his feet, excitedly saying, "Why? I got first place in the written test! Why did you pass me?!"
Chen Ning knew that Chen Tao was only saying this because he knew Chen Ning didn't want to take the money!
Chen Tao said nonchalantly, "So what if you got first place in the written exam? Our admission criteria aren't just based on the written exam; there's also an interview! Even though you got first place in the written exam, you didn't pass the interview, so we won't admit you!"
Chen Ning gritted his teeth and said, "You didn't even post the admission results, so how can you say I'm unqualified? I don't accept this!"
"It's no use if you disagree. We are an independent department and don't need to make a public announcement. As long as we, the leaders, decide internally, that's enough! Girl, you're an adult now. You should face reality!" Chen Tao said with a cold and disdainful expression.
Actually, the 500,000 he wanted wasn't for him alone; it was agreed upon by several high-level executives so that everyone would get a share.
Chen Ning, unaware of these facts, felt indignant and said, "What you're doing is against the rules. As a candidate, I have the right to request to see the admission process and whether it's fair and just!"
"Insolence!" Chen Tao said coldly, "What right do you, a mere commoner, have to make so many demands? This is the decision from above, and you have no right to question it!"
"Yes, I am just an ordinary citizen, but the health system is a government machine. Our government has a system of supervision and a system for handling complaints. Prosperity, democracy, and civilization are not just slogans!" Chen Ning shouted, clenching his fist. It was as if he wanted to vent all the emotions that had been suppressed for many days.
However, Chen Tao was unimpressed, instead revealing a contemptuous expression, "You can recite the books quite well, but what's the use? Do you know how many people are eyeing a position within the system?"
"Let me put it this way: among my relatives alone, there's someone who spent a million to get in, and they still have to wait their turn!"
"Do you think this is a place anyone can just walk in?"
"Let's not talk about others, take my secretary Xiao Zhang, he's from the countryside too. There were two people hired, and he came in third in the written test. Do you know how much it cost him to get in?"
"Eight hundred thousand!"
"His parents sold dozens of their cows for him! His father borrowed 300,000 yuan from relatives before they were able to get out of poverty!"
"You know how we did it. To ensure that he, the third-place candidate, got the job, we eliminated the one who came in first place in the written exam!"
Chen Tao snorted coldly, "I've said enough, you should understand now, right?"
Chen Ning's delicate body trembled. She wasn't stupid; how could she not understand what was meant?
It means that no matter what place you are in, you will still get paid in the end.
Even if you get the highest score in the written exam, you'll still be eliminated if you don't take the money.
It's so dark!
It's so dark!!
At that moment, she felt a deep sense of fear and helplessness.
Having lived for over twenty years, I only realized today that many things contradict what is written in books.
Is the saying "Though poor, one should remain steadfast and not lose one's lofty aspirations" all just a lie?
In the end, all the effort couldn't compare to the taste of money.
None of that compares to the tiny bit of profit that these people are after.
"You've manipulated the machinery of the Guo family so easily. Haha, I suddenly realize how ridiculous and meaningless my years of hard study have been!"
Chen Ning smiled sadly through her tears.
He staggered and turned around.
She originally intended to show the token given to her by Lin Yu today in order to gain access to the health system.
But at this moment, she felt disheartened and somewhat listless.
Chen Tao chuckled, picked up the scalding hot teacup from the table, took a sip, thought for a moment, then put the teacup down again. "Wait a minute!"
Chen Ning paused for a moment, then stopped.
Chen Tao's lips curled up slightly as he said, "How about this, I see your family isn't wealthy, so how about I arrange a personal assistant job for you? It's not a permanent position, but it's a contract job. And you know, if you work for me, even a small favor can make you rich. Why don't you consider it!"
Personal assistant?
Chen Ning frowned slightly, and then her delicate body trembled violently.
She was a naive girl, but she still understood Chen Tao's blatant meaning.
She took a deep breath, then turned around and returned to Chen Tao's desk.
Chen Tao's lips curled slightly. "So? Have you thought it through? Let me tell you, if you work with me for three years, I guarantee you..."
Wow!
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ning suddenly grabbed a cup from the table and splashed it on Chen Tao's face.
"Ah! Ah—Holy shit!!"
"You bitch, how dare you splash me?!" Chen Tao stood up angrily, wincing in pain, unsure of what to do with his hands.
Bang!
Several security guards rushed in from outside.
"Director Chen, what happened to you? Are you alright?"
"Damn it! Are you guys blind? I'm fine?? This woman splashed me with boiling water, that's intentional assault! Tie her up and take her to the police station right now!!" Chen Tao roared desperately.
Several security guards' expressions changed, and they immediately surrounded Chen Ning with menacing expressions.
