Chapter 98 Personal Interview

In-person interview

He knew that this kind of problem should not and could not occur to people of their level. This time Bu Qianli was just being tolerant and generous. If it were someone else, he would have deducted his bonus long ago.

On the way back to the office, Wang Yuanli had a stern face and a serious expression. He even ignored other people who greeted him and walked straight to his office. Everyone in the HR department looked at each other in bewilderment, thinking that something big had happened. They began to whisper to each other and try to find out the news.

As a result, less than a minute later, they saw Wang Yuanli walking out of the office with two documents in his hands and hurried towards the elevator.

As soon as he left, the office was like a boiling pot, with the sounds of discussion, typing, and gossip mixed together, and the tranquility of the past was gone.

21st Floor

"Knock knock knock"

Wang Yuanli did not dare to delay. He went upstairs immediately after getting the documents and knocked on the door. After getting the consent from the person inside, he pretended to be calm and walked in cautiously.

"Boss Bu, this is the list you requested. Please take a look."

Seeing Wang Yuanli coming in, Bu Qianli put down the half-read contract in his hand, took the two lists he handed over, first looked at the first interview list, and only found Chi Dong's name at the bottom when he turned to the last page.

Bu Qianli lowered her eyes to hide the slight ripples in her eyes, then opened the second list and read it carefully twice, but could not find Chi Dong's name on it.

Bu Qianli was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Yuanli who was standing not far away and trembling with fear.

There is a problem with the list.

Although Bu Qianli didn't know Chi Dong in depth, she didn't think he would fail in the application. When she talked about Chi Dong with her senior who taught at Z University, she mentioned that Chi Dong was always among the best in the class in terms of academic performance and other aspects. How could he not even qualify for the second round of interviews?

What surprised him even more was that when he compared the two lists, he found that more than 70% of the candidates for the second round of interviews were from Peking University, the remaining 30% were students from Ocean University, and there were no students from other universities.

He remembered that when the company submitted its internship recruitment plan to various universities, the names of more than a dozen universities were listed.

Bu Qianli raised his eyes and looked coldly at Wang Yuanli, his voice cold and hard, "Manager Wang, who decided on this list?"

"This, this is the list that the company's seven interviewers have drawn up based on a comprehensive evaluation of the candidates' on-site interview situations." Although Wang Yuanli didn't know what the situation was at the moment, his intuition told him that if he lied at this moment, he would be the next one to eat squid teppanyaki.

"...Give the order, I want to see the interview video of that day." Bu Qianli's voice deepened. He knew that someone must be playing tricks here. Otherwise, why would they reject students with suitable majors and instead choose students whose majors have nothing to do with their company?

"Yes, Mr. Bu, I will have someone copy the video and send it up now."

"No need." Bu Qianli stopped Wang Yuanli from making the call, stood up and walked straight out the door.

The bright light shone on his tall and slender body. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that his thin lips were slightly pursed, his expression was indifferent, and he was giving off an unpleasant aura.

Seeing Bu Qianli was about to leave the office, Wang Yuanli, who had been standing there in a daze, quickly followed him. He never expected that a mere internship recruitment would shock Bu Qianli so much that she would go to so much trouble to watch the interview video.

This is really a strange thing.

As soon as the two of them walked out of the office, Chen Lian noticed them and quickly stood up from his seat, "Mr. Bu."

Bu Qianli continued walking, and said indifferently, "Assistant Chen, you come with me too."

"Okay, Mr. Bu." Chen Lian noticed that his boss was in a strange mood, and his heart tightened slightly. Then he looked at Wang Yuanli behind him, and saw that he looked nervous but not panicked. He knew that the problem was not with them, and his tense heart immediately relaxed.

The scene of Bu Qianli and others appearing in the Human Resources Department on the fifth floor quickly attracted the attention of others.

Especially the HR department staff who were in the vortex. Several senior employees who were familiar to Wang Yuanli secretly winked at him, but Wang Yuanli ignored them and followed behind him nervously with his head down.

"What happened to Wang Baldhead?"

"Oh my god! This is my first time meeting the president. He's so handsome!"

"Yes, the president is the most handsome man in our company. To be honest, we are all his little fans!"

"I, I, I want to join the little fangirl team too! Sister Shuang, please let me in."

"Okay, okay, I'll take you in later, but I have to remind you in advance not to have any other thoughts about the president, otherwise the consequence will be the same as the girl in your previous position, and you will be fired by the company."

"Okay, I'll remember that."

"Well, that's good."

"Sister Shuang, what do you think the president is doing here? Is Manager Wang going to be fired?"

"Impossible. Manager Wang is already old and a veteran of the company. How can he be fired just like that? And I haven't heard that he has done anything wrong recently."

"I also think it's impossible. Baldy Wang is timid and cowardly. He didn't even dare to take the big offer when it was delivered to him. How could such a person be fired? If even he is fired, then there's no point staying in such a company."

"That's true. Hey, Old Ye, you're quite smart."

"Hehe, I'm just observing people's expressions. Didn't you see that although Baldy Wang ignored us just now, he didn't look depressed either? We all know him well. He gets very nervous when encountering a small matter. So I guess it's definitely not his fault. It's probably someone else who's going to get into trouble."

The discussion outside was heated, but inside it was freezing and snowing.

Observing that Bu Qianli was about to sit on the sofa, Wang Yuanli hurried forward, turned on the computer, found the interview videos from this morning, and clicked on them to play.

Chen Lian stood on the left side of the sofa, where the view was clear and convenient for him to record.

The video was quite long, and Bu Qianli roughly watched the interview results of all the students. He made comments on the list while watching. After the end, he compared the two lists and found that the interview results of some students did not match those on the list.

Bu Qianli did not lose his temper on the spot.

Because he knew that there were more than one or two people who were able to bribe the seven interviewers, and he was afraid that the previous incident in the branch was also related to them.

Bu Qianli nodded calmly to Chen Lian, motioning him to copy the video. He then modified the names of the people on the list on the spot, adding a group of students who had performed well in the interview. At the same time, he removed another group of people who had performed poorly and had a lazy attitude but were still on the list.

Afterwards, he instructed Wang Yuanli to issue a notice based on the new list and required that the students on the list must be notified within two days. After that, Bu Qianli took Chen Lian, who had successfully copied the video, and left the Human Resources Department.

The next second after he left, Wang Yuanli collapsed on the sofa. His legs suddenly became weak and he had no strength left.

After a long while, he finally came to his senses, and sat up with his hands on the sofa. Seeing the tissues on the table, he immediately took out a few and wiped the big drops of sweat on his head. After calming down, he picked up the list that Abu Chisato had just placed on the table and read it carefully several times.

He had noticed a long time ago that there was a very special name on the list. The special thing was not the name itself, but the fact that Bu Qianli had circled this name with a pen on both lists. Unlike the others, there was an extra smiley face symbol next to it.

Wang Yuanli guessed that this person must have a close relationship with President Bu, and they were most likely friends, otherwise they would not have specially called him up and suddenly became concerned about the internship recruitment.

Hence the earlier phone call to inform Chi Dong.

Soon it was the day for the second round of interviews, and just like before, he arrived at ET. Company early. This time he was fully prepared, and he kept cheering himself up in his heart.

When it was his turn to sign in, the middle-aged man who was originally standing next to the sign-in table, who was wearing a suit, was short and fat, and had Mediterranean hair, kept staring at him.

Chi Dong endured the strangeness and signed the letter, then raised his head to look back, but the man turned his gaze away and stopped looking at him.

Although he felt it was strange, Chi Dong did not think too much about it because they soon started drawing lots. Just like last time, this time they entered the interview room in order according to the draw, but the interview location was changed. It was not on the fifth floor, but in the multi-functional conference hall on the 20th floor.

There were not as many examiners in this round of interviews as in the last one, only two. However, judging from the respectful look of the staff outside, they were probably leaders inside, and their words would definitely carry more weight than last time.

The fewer the better. Chi Dong recalled the shadow cast by the seven interviewers during the first interview and couldn't help but shudder. He didn't really want to see them again.

The second round of interviews was different from the last one. This time, all interviewees could see the scene but could not hear the sound inside. The two interviewers sat in the center, with a huge glass wall behind them, making the whole venue spacious and bright.

Chi Dong pretended to casually look up and looked around, counting the number of people present. Including himself, there were 60 people in total, which made him a little astonished.

Although the recruitment information does not specify the exact number of positions to be filled, judging from today's interview, the competition is expected to be fierce.

As he was looking around, a boy with a baby face sitting next to him patted his shoulder gently and whispered, "Hi, how are you?"

Chi Dong turned around and looked over in confusion, "Hello?"

"My name is Lin An'an, and I'm from Ocean University, Department of Computer Science." The baby-faced boy grinned, forming a pair of cute little swirls.

Chi Dong was stunned for a moment and thought to himself: This person is quite sociable.

"Winter is coming late, students of Z University."

Lin An'an tilted his head and asked curiously, "What number did you draw? I was unlucky. I drew the last one. I guess it will end in the afternoon."

Chi Dong opened his mouth to answer, but he heard the staff calling his number.

"Number 7."

Chi Dong smiled awkwardly, "I'm called. I'll go in first."

He was luckier this time as he drew an earlier number, and the interview process was faster, so he didn't have to wait as long as last time.

Chi Dong followed the staff, pushed open the glass door and walked in.

"Hello, interviewers. I am candidate number seven, Chi Dong."

"Please take a seat."

The interviewers were a man and a woman, who looked quite different from what Chi Dong had imagined. They were unexpectedly younger than he had expected. The man was handsome and the woman was pretty, and they seemed to be a perfect match.

Jiang Ying was woken up early in the morning by the incessant ringing of his cell phone. Hearing the tone inside, he thought something big had happened in the company, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and rushed back to the company without even having breakfast. However, he was inexplicably asked to be a crappy interviewer.

He was so angry that he almost cursed the HR department in front of Bu Qianli. However, the next second he found out that it was Bu Qianli who arranged it. He was suddenly speechless, shrinking his neck like a quail, and swallowed back the curse that was about to come out of his mouth.

Jiang Ying fussily tugged at his hair which was a tangle of hair, and helplessly walked to the large sofa in Bu Qianli's office and lay down with his arms and legs spread out.

"Boss, have you forgotten that I just flew back from Hai City last night and had been in bed for less than five hours, and you called me to the company just for a small intern interview?"

"I am a vice president after all. Do I really need to come in person for such a small matter?"

"...I don't trust other people." Seeing him looking lazy and not getting enough sleep, Bu Qianli knew that he must have gone to play games again after flying back last night.

Jiang Ying did fly back from Hai City last night, but as far as he knew, the flight was at 7 o'clock last night, and the driver picked him up at the airport at 10 o'clock on time. In addition, the airport is only a 20-minute drive from the city, so there is no such thing as not getting enough sleep as he said.

Don't think he doesn't know. At one o'clock yesterday morning, he logged into Dongdong's account to do his daily routine, and saw this guy jumping up and down in the world, shouting at the top of his voice for people to form a team and go to the trial field.
