Chapter 8 Buying a Job



After watching Huo Qiqi walk out of the examination room calmly and confidently.

The three examiners behind him had a brief conversation. The chief examiner had a good impression of Huo Qiqi, so he gave her a high score. Seeing Deputy Director Xu's indignant expression, he couldn't help but frowned.

"Deputy Director Xu, this factory recruitment for a personnel officer is a major event, and we absolutely cannot afford to be careless. Huo Qiqi did very well on the written test, and the factory director is paying close attention to her."

"Director Chen, don't worry, I know the priorities and it won't affect the factory's recruitment exam." Although Deputy Director Xu said this, he still felt uncomfortable in his heart.

He had originally wanted to give Huo Qiqi a low score and fail her exam, after all, he felt that this woman was too arrogant. But when he heard that the factory director was also paying attention to Huo Qiqi, even though he felt uncomfortable, he had to swallow his anger.

So he picked up his pen and gave Huo Qiqi a fairly fair score based on her interview performance. It wasn't a high score, but it didn't give the impression of being overtly biased. Director Chen looked at the three interview scores Huo Qiqi had received and nodded in satisfaction.

After Tang Lili's interview was over, the two little sisters chatted non-stop.

"Lily, how was it? Did the interview go well? How did you perform?" Huo Qiqi kept asking questions like a curious baby.

"I don't know either. I feel it's okay. Fortunately, you gave me some advice in advance, otherwise I would be so nervous. I feel that the male examiner's questions are very tricky, and I feel like he is targeting me again. I don't know how I offended this guy. Besides, there are so many people interviewing this time, and no one can predict the final result. The competition is too fierce." Tang Lili spread her hands and shrugged.

"It's okay, just try your best! If this doesn't work out, there will be other opportunities." Although Huo Qiqi sensed Deputy Director Xu's hostility towards her, she was still confident in this interview. It didn't matter whether she had a job or not. If Tang Lili didn't get the job, she would sell it to her.

They both had the surname Xu, and both herself and Tang Lili were targeted during the interview. Huo Qiqi had a vague feeling in her heart, and it was interesting to hear them say this.

"Yeah, that's what I think too. Let's just leave it to fate and let nature take its course." Tang Lili said with a smile.

The two smiled at each other and continued chatting about other topics, as if the tense atmosphere just now had never existed.

At 5:30 pm, the interview results were posted.

Seeing the expectant eyes of the 50 candidates in front of him, Director Chen cleared his throat.

"Comrades, thank you very much for participating in our food factory's recruitment this time. We originally planned to recruit five personnel officers, but before the interview this afternoon, we received a temporary notice from the factory leaders that due to increased production tasks, the materials department also needs to recruit five people. So this time our factory will recruit a total of 10 people. Based on the results of the two interviews and your performance in the interviews, we will assign the 10 of you to two different departments.

One more thing: those who have passed this time will be given two days to report to the factory the day after tomorrow morning."

Huo Qiqi successfully passed the food factory's recruitment assessment with the first place in the total score. With Director Chen's insistence, the materials department failed to recruit her, and Huo Qiqi was assigned to the personnel department as a clerk.

Although Tang Lili's written test score was not very good, she performed well in the interview and ranked 9th in the overall score. She was assigned to the Materials Department. Although the two entered different departments, it was a gratifying thing to be admitted to the food factory at the same time.

"Qiqi, that's great! I finally found a job and don't have to go to the countryside anymore. I'm going to tell my mom the good news. I'm going to invite you to a state-owned restaurant and we'll have a big meal and celebrate properly."

Huo Qiqi was also very happy to see her good sister find a job.

"Comrade Huo Qiqi, can we chat for a moment?" She looked up when she heard the voice and saw Deputy Director Xu waving at her. Seeing this, Huo Qiqi probably guessed something.

"Huo Qiqi, I've gotten to know you briefly. You come from a well-off family, the child of a martyr, so you don't have to go to the countryside. I can see that you're not very enthusiastic about this job. I'd like to ask, is your job transferable?"

"Deputy Director Xu, what is your relationship with Xu Mei?"

"Xu Mei is my niece. After the interview this afternoon, I did some research. I want to apologize for what happened in the exam room this morning, and for what happened to you and Tang Lili during the interview this afternoon.

I've been working for almost 10 years and considered myself fairly impartial. I didn't expect to be so careless about my niece's exam and thus violate my professional ethics. Of course, if you want to sell this job, my niece's family is willing to pay 1,000 yuan and the corresponding receipts."

1,000 yuan, plus some bills, is really not much for Huo Qiqi.

"Deputy Director Xu, I'll think about it. I'll also need to discuss this with Tang Lili. After all, this isn't a small matter."

After Deputy Director Xu walked away, Tang Lili walked up and took Huo Qiqi out of the food factory.

"Qiqi, what's wrong? Is this Deputy Director Xu giving you trouble?"

"Lily, Deputy Director Xu is quite sincere and has done his best for his niece. He wants to buy my job, but I told him I need to think it over carefully."

"Why, Qiqi, I really want to work with you. Even though we are not in the same department, we are in the same factory, which is a very happy thing."

Seeing Tang Lili's nervous look, Huo Qiqi leaned her head on Tang Lili's shoulder.

"Lily, that's so nice of you. I'll think about it. Let's go meet up with everyone and see how they're doing."

When we arrived at the place we had agreed on, we found that people’s joys and sorrows were indeed different.

Except for Huo Qiqi and Tang Lili, who found jobs in the food factory, the other seven or eight people, two of whom found temporary jobs, and the others still have to continue looking.
