Chapter 52 Interview
The on-site work was basically coming to an end. Xu Mo took a day off and flew back to Guangzhou to go to Xu Shiying's wedding.
The wedding banquet was held in a local luxury hotel. A photo of the newlyweds was placed at the door. It was one of the wedding photos that Xu Mo personally selected for her.
In the photo, the groom has an elegant face and warm eyes. He holds her hand and looks down at Xu Shiying beside him. Xu Shiying looks away with a shining look in her eyes.
The background is a bustling urban river view.
Xu Mo stopped at the door for a while. The man's mother was sitting at the next table. She was wearing a cheongsam and sitting at the door collecting money.
For each copy received, record one entry in the roster.
The man greeted everyone with a smile, and his features looked very capable.
Xu Mo clenched the red envelope in her hand and asked at the door, "Where is the bride?"
The waiter pointed to the door in the corner: "Changing clothes."
Just as Xu Mo was about to knock on the door, it opened and Xu Shiying came out, wearing the dress she wore for her wedding photos.
Xu Mo smiled at her and stuffed the red envelope into her palm: "Happy wedding."
Xu Shiying waved her hand: "You don't have to give it to me."
Xu Mo said, "Just take it. I was on a business trip yesterday and rushed back overnight. I went to two ATMs to withdraw the money. It wasn't easy."
Xu Shiying smiled and said, "Okay."
There were several people surrounding Xu Shiying. She told Xu Mo that they were from the man's family. They were discussing the procedures of the wedding banquet later, so Xu Mo went to the wedding scene by herself.
Xu Shiying's wedding was scheduled on a weekday after being calculated by the older generation. Not many people came, and most of them were old friends of both sets of parents. Xu Mo hardly knew any of them. When Xu Shiying's parents saw her, they pulled her to the table of relatives and friends, and smiled and said that Momo was still so beautiful.
Xu Mo held the hands of the two elders and said congratulations to Shiying for finding her own happiness.
The old couple asked again, when will you have your wedding?
Xu Mo said, no rush.
There were many guests coming and going, and many greetings to be exchanged, so the old couple did not ask any more questions.
The parents of the bride and groom, as well as the bride and groom, gave speeches respectively. Their speeches were very sincere. Xu Mo sat in the audience and listened, clapping from time to time.
After Xu Shiying finished her toast, she came to Xu Mo's table to eat and asked, "Isn't Lin Jingchuan here?"
Xu Mo said, "He has a meeting today."
Xu Shiying: "Well, are things okay between you two?"
Xu Mo: "I've been on business trips for the past six months since the Chinese New Year, so we haven't been together much."
"Did he come to see you when you were on a business trip?"
Xu Mo nodded: "Yes, I come back once every one or two weeks." But she was basically working overtime, and he watched her work overtime in the hotel.
Xu Shiying said, "That's not bad. In this respect, I'm better than Zhao Tingyu."
"Um."
Xu Shiying asked, "What are your plans for later? We're planning a party, are you coming?"
Xu Mo shook her head: "I have some personal matters to attend to later."
The conference room of this internet upstart, which just opened an office in Guangzhou, has a faint decorative feel. Even so, the unobstructed river view from the floor-to-ceiling glass windows is delightful.
Xu Mo chatted with the department leader for a full hour. The other party was a man in his thirties. He spoke with rigorous logic and had a steady expression.
He asked Xu Mo why she chose to change jobs. Xu Mo replied that during her years working in consulting for the second-party, she had learned many cutting-edge business models and honed her logical thinking, stress tolerance, and problem-solving skills. However, her exposure was broad but lacked depth. Joining the first-party was something she had planned long ago, not on a whim but rather the result of careful consideration. She chose to apply to your company because she was optimistic about the prospects.
The other party asked again in a suggestive manner, what do you think the prospects of our company are?
Xu Mo spoke eloquently, analyzing the company's industry, industrial chain, policies and business model, and the other party nodded frequently.
After an hour, Xu Mo felt that the conversation went well. She could even hear that the other party wanted to give her an offer, but the interviewer's last words dampened her excitement.
"There are a lot of applicants for this position, and I'll probably have intensive interviews in the next two weeks, so HR will try to notify you of the result within two weeks."
Xu Mo tried her best to remain calm on the surface. She smiled, packed up her things and left the meeting room.
As soon as I got on the train, Alex, the headhunter who recommended me for this job, sent me a message asking: [How do you feel?]
Xu Mo: [It's okay, but what he finally said was that the competition is fierce and he needs to wait and see.]
Alex: [The current economic environment is not good, and companies are laying off employees. There are many people looking for jobs, but few good job opportunities. Finding a job sometimes depends on luck.]
Xu Mo: [I know. Thank you for your interview coaching yesterday.]
Alex: [I should do it, and I hope you can get the interview. Also, I want to ask you what questions the interviewer just asked you?]
Xu Mo sent him a few general messages, and he replied with a thank you, saying that he would contact her when he had any news.
After the chat, Xu Mo just returned home. She threw her bag at the entrance, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then went to the bedroom to sleep.
When she woke up, it was already dark outside. Xu Mo found that the bedroom door was ajar. She got out of bed barefoot, opened the door and found that the lights in the living room were on.
A faint aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, and she walked to the transparent sliding door of the kitchen.
Lin Jingchuan lowered his eyes and was adding salt to the soup. He was wearing a black Ralph Lauren polo shirt today, and he looked very steady.
Xu Mo asked, "Why are you back?"
Lin Jingchuan said: "I came back after the meeting."
Xu Mo glanced at the casserole: "What's in it?"
"Olive and abalone soup," Lin Jingchuan said, "It'll help you cool down."
Xu Mo smiled and said, "Am I very angry recently?"
Lin Jingchuan pursed his lips, his voice gentle: "No, I just saw that you were in a bad mood recently, so I wanted to take care of your health."
Xu Mo looked at his handsome profile and was stunned for a moment.
She was indeed in a bad mood during this period. The pressure of the project and the self-doubt after being denied made her often in an anxious mood. She could not take care of herself, so she could not take care of his emotions and was often indifferent and impatient towards him.
Although he didn't say anything, she knew he might be hurt by her attitude.
Lin Jingchuan scooped some soup for her and asked, "Was the wedding banquet fun? What did you have for lunch today?"
Xu Mo said: "I don't have much impression, it's pretty average."
Lin Jingchuan handed the soup to her: "How is the environment? Do you like it?"
Xu Mo said: "The environment is quite good. It's a big place with beautiful decoration. There are at least twenty tables set up."
Lin Jingchuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked, "How about we set up there too?"
Xu Mo paused while drinking the soup.
Lin Jingchuan's eyes fell on her slightly stunned face. Xu Mo said, "Are we still going to set up?"
"Why not?"
Xu Mo: "We've been married for half a year. There's no need to show off. I don't care about that."
Lin Jingchuan stopped talking, tightened his hand holding the chopsticks, and his finger bones bulged.
Xu Mo asked, "How's your work going lately? Why haven't I seen you during these reports?"
Lin Jingchuan said: "I'm busy with other things."
"Oh." Xu Mo nodded. "Have you withdrawn from this project?"
"Almost." Lin Jingchuan said, "Don't worry. It seems that the top management is quite satisfied with your results. Is the research basically finished?"
Xu Mo: "Well, the project is basically finished. I can stay at home for a while."
Lin Jingchuan raised his eyes: "Okay, are you free this weekend?"
Xu Mo nodded: "I'm free, what's the matter?"
Lin Jingchuan exhaled softly: "Grandma asked us to go back to the old house. She said she had something important to tell us."
