Chapter 96 Elevator Accident
Interview failed
For example, "What do you think of office romance?", "The ideas in these works are too advanced. If you were asked to make changes, would you accept it?", "If the internship is too stressful, can you accept it?", "Why do you come when the internship salary is so low?", "Your academic qualifications are worse than others. Do you think you can beat them?" and other sharp questions came one after another, leaving Chidong with no time to think, so that he stuttered when answering the next few questions.
The smile on his face gradually became stiff, and his hands under the table were clenched into fists. The nails that had been trimmed not long ago were deeply embedded in his palms, and his thoughts became a little confused for a moment.
After answering the last question, Chi Dong was taken out by the staff. He was awakened from his trance when he heard someone talking. He looked up and found that he had gotten on the elevator and arrived at the 21st floor without knowing when.
Seeing that the elevator would continue to rise, Chi Dong hurriedly followed the people in front of him and walked out.
However, what he didn't know was that the person he was following happened to be Bu Qianli's assistant, Chen Lian.
When Chen Lian was in the elevator, he noticed this boy who was dressed in a rather childish manner. Judging from his appearance, he must have accidentally taken the wrong elevator.
Chen Lian didn't take him seriously, thinking that Chi Dong would follow the elevator down to the first floor, but he didn't expect that Chi Dong would follow him out stupidly.
Although the 21st floor is not the highest floor, it is the floor that all employees are reluctant to go to, because this floor not only has the secretary's office, but also the office of their top boss, President Bu.
As for why Bu Qianli did not choose the highest building as his office, it was said that he did not like working in high-rise buildings, so he chose a middle floor as his office. As for the top floors, they were where the vice president and other departments had their offices.
Chen Lian rarely competes with ordinary employees for the elevator. He usually takes the dedicated elevator next door to go up and down the floors.
But this time the document was urgent, and the ordinary elevator happened to be open and empty, so he walked in without thinking.
When the elevator reached the second and third floors, several employees who entered the elevator looked at Chen Lian in dumbfounded. They thought they had pressed the wrong elevator button and did not dare to go in.
After Chen Lian smiled and let them in, they looked at each other silently for a few seconds, and finally they dared to go in after a lot of hesitation.
Then the elevator reached the fifth floor, and someone just pressed the elevator button to go out. At that moment, Chi Dong lowered his head with a dazed look on his face. When he saw the elevator door open, he thought it was an elevator going down without even looking, so he walked in.
Therefore, the scene just now happened.
Chen Lian stopped and turned to look at Chi Dong who was following him. He smiled politely but distantly, "Hello, sir. Outsiders are not allowed to enter here. Please leave as soon as possible."
Chi Dong had no intention of following them. He just followed the elevator because it continued to go up, so he wanted to take another elevator to go down to the first floor.
"I, I didn't mean any harm. I just went to the wrong place. Sorry." Hearing Chen Lian's warning, he hurried to explain. After hearing his words, Chen Lian just nodded slightly, his eyes still sharp and somewhat vigilant.
Without an elevator pass, you can't press the button on the 21st floor. Although this person looks like a student, the company's secrets are complicated and cumbersome, especially their floor is the core. If a strange face suddenly appears here, anyone who sees him will be wary.
Chen Lian indifferently called out in the direction of the secretary's office: "Xiao Yan."
"Assistant Chen, I'm here." Lu Xiaoyan, who was called by him, stood up from her seat in a hurry and trotted all the way to Chen Lian. The five-centimeter-long high heels on her feet did not affect her running speed at all.
"Help this gentleman swipe the elevator card. If the elevator arrives and he doesn't leave as he said, you will detain him and wait for me to come out and deal with him." Chen Lian frowned and looked at his wrist. He had been delayed for 2 minutes. President Bu was going to be angry.
"I went in to report on my work and called everyone to a meeting ten minutes later."
Lu Xiaoyan nodded seriously: "Yes, Special Assistant Chen."
"..." At this time, Chi Dong, who was standing aside and dared not say a word, also realized that he was regarded as a spy sent by another company to investigate. Now he couldn't explain himself. Who made him so stupid as to enter the elevator with his eyes closed without even looking?
Chi Dong looked around carefully, fearing that he would be caught if he moved. "Hello, can I press the elevator to leave?"
Lu Xiaoyan has been working for the company for such a long time, and finally Secretary Chen entrusted her with an important task. Of course, she would not miss this opportunity to show her face in front of Secretary Chen.
Her body leaned forward slightly, and her clear eyes stared at Chi Dong as if she was looking at a piece of fat.
Chi Dong saw that she was silent and looked at people with such a strange look, so he dared not move under her gaze. The two of them were in a stalemate for a long time.
Until a "ding" sound was heard, and the elevator slowly went up, and at the same time, the sound of the office door at the back opened.
Two completely different footsteps gradually got closer and closer to them.
At this moment, Chi Dong recalled what the man named Special Assistant Chen had just said, and his heart beat faster for no reason. He was a little worried that they really mistook him for a thief and were going to arrest him.
So he pressed the elevator button in panic, and the next second the elevator door slowly opened. Chi Dong strode forward and tried to hide in the elevator.
As a result, he had just taken a few steps when Lu Xiaoyan caught the hem of his clothes. Chi Dong turned around in surprise and looked over. However, he was attracted by two pairs of leather shoes of different styles that appeared at the corner. He vaguely remembered that one of the pairs was the shoes of Special Assistant Chen who had just left.
As for the other pair, he had never seen it before, so he didn't know who it belonged to, but no matter who it was, he couldn't be mistaken for a thief. Chi Dong hurriedly pulled away the hand that was tightly grasping his clothes, while pressing the elevator button frantically.
He didn't expect that this girl, who looked petite and delicate, was actually stronger than him, a boy. It took him some time to finally break free. Taking advantage of this gap, Chidong quickly ran in and pressed the door hard to close it.
Chi Dong stared at the two blurry tall figures not far away. With a "bang", the stair door closed. He breathed a sigh of relief. When Chi Dong came to his senses, a look of regret appeared on his fair face. He leaned against the stair wall, lowered his head, and looked a little lost.
As the elevators slowly merged, he saw two figures through the gap in the door. One of them looked familiar to him. However, the door closed too quickly and he only had time to see the hem of a black suit and nothing else.
At this time, outside the staircase, Chen Lian was following behind Bu Qianli, silently looking at Lu Xiaoyan who was lying on the ground. He was speechless. He knew that the task assigned to this guy would definitely be messed up.
Bu Qianli's eyes had been fixed on the elevator entrance since just now, without moving a step. Especially at the moment the door closed, he seemed to see the junior fellow student who had been sent to the hospital before - Chi Dong.
Why is he here?
"Assistant Chen, what's going on?" Bu Qianli retracted his gaze and asked in a calm voice as he watched the elevator go down to the first floor.
Chen Lian took two steps forward and helped Lu Xiaoyan up, then explained in detail what had happened before. He knew Bu Qianli, and if he was really angry, his tone would not be as calm and peaceful as it was now.
Hearing this, Bu Qianli thought for a moment, and his mind flashed back to what the HR manager had mentioned to him a few days ago about recruiting interns from major universities this year.
It seems that his junior is here for an interview.
"Mr. Bu, how should we deal with this man? He came up to the 21st floor without permission. Should we..." Chen Lian was interrupted by Bu Qianli's cold voice before he could finish his words.
"Don't pursue this matter any further. I have to go out for something." He paused, and Bu Qianli's mind flashed back to Chi Dong's dejected look when he escaped just now. "Notify the HR manager to come to my office at 3 pm. Remember to ask him to bring the interview list and information."
Chen Lian said respectfully, "Yes, President Bu."
After that, Bu Qianli took the elevator directly to the underground parking lot, leaving Chen Lian and Lu Xiaoyan standing there in a daze. To be more precise, only Lu Xiaoyan was standing there in a daze.
Chen Lian glanced at the lady who was still holding his hand and said unhappily, "Are you addicted to it? Why don't you let go of me?"
Only then did Lu Xiaoyan realize that she had dared to hold Special Assistant Chen's hand. She was so scared that she took two steps back and let go of her hand.
"I'm sorry, Special Assistant Chen, I didn't mean to do that. That guy sneaked away when I wasn't paying attention." She lowered her head in shame and explained in a soft voice, fearing that Chen Lian would fire her if he was unhappy. She had worked so hard to get this job and couldn't lose it just like that.
Chen Lian looked at her speechlessly. He knew she was stupid, but he didn't expect her to be so stupid that she couldn't even keep an eye on a person. Not only that, but she also fell to the ground. He really didn't know how she grew up safely.
"Well, since President Bu doesn't care anymore, just go back to work." Chen Lian reminded him, "By the way, I asked you to notify the people in the secretary's office to hold a meeting. Did you do that?"
Lu Xiaoyan opened her mouth slightly and screamed in surprise, "Ahhhh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot about this. I'll go and notify them now." After saying that, without waiting for Chen Lian's reaction, she returned to the secretariat in her ridiculously high heels.
Chen Lian silently watched her running back and shook his head helplessly. What he didn't know was that if there was a mirror in front of him at this moment, it would definitely reflect the slightly upturned corners of his mouth.
On the other side, Chi Dong ran downstairs in a panic. His palms were sweating slightly as he tightly grasped the straps of his backpack. With a pale face, he lowered his head and silently leaned into the crowd to avoid being noticed that he had something to hide.
Chi Dong walked out of the door and the subway entrance was not far away. When he entered the subway, he stopped and looked back to take a last look at the densely packed buildings on both sides behind him. The densely packed windows were like diamond facets, revealing the coldness of modernity.
This interview was undoubtedly a failure.
Thinking back to what happened in the past two hours, Chi Dong said to himself in frustration: "What an idiot! How come I can't even pass an interview?"
I wasted an opportunity to meet that person.
