Chapter 659: Chapter 659: Don’t Believe He Can Cover the Sky with One Hand
Cao Xiaobo raised an eyebrow at Gu Caiwei, “Gu Caiwei, did you hear that? You know now my uncle can decide whether you get into Hotpot City or not. If you agree to be my girlfriend right now, I’ll have my uncle take back his words, and I guarantee you’ll pass the preliminary test. With your ability, the retest definitely won’t be a problem. Plus, my uncle has a say in the retest as well, so getting a job at Hotpot City won’t be an issue.”
Gu Caiwei was both shocked and furious, “Cao Xiaobo, you’re utterly shameless!”
Cao Xiaobo was unfazed, simply smiling, “I’m just making you see the harshness of society, that’s all. You can make your decision now.”
Gu Caiwei gritted her teeth, “Even if I don’t want this job, I won’t become your girlfriend. Get that through your head.”
Having said that, she walked out of the elevator.
Cao Xiaobo snorted coldly, “You’ll regret this.”
...
Gu Caiwei retorted, “Never will I regret it.”
Cao Xiaobo just smirked coldly and said no more but turned to Shao Dazhi, “Uncle, come on up. We’re one person short, it’d be a waste of space not to come.”
Shao Dazhi nodded and boarded the elevator.
The others made way for him.
They had a profound sense of the authority of Shao Dazhi, the HR manager.
This was the interviewer for the preliminary test; he was not to be offended.
If they offended him, they would have no chance of getting into Hotpot City.
The fates of Xu Yang and Gu Caiwei were clear for all to see.
Regarding the two of them, they could only sympathize in their hearts.
Shao Dazhi entered the elevator, and the doors quickly closed.
In the moment before they closed, Cao Xiaobo shot a cold sneer at Xu Yang and Gu Caiwei, who were standing outside.
Xu Yang glanced at the girl named Gu Caiwei, “You’re not leaving?”
Gu Caiwei shook her head, “I don’t believe Cao Xiaobo’s uncle can do whatever he pleases. He’s just a manager, and he dares to do this. If everyone at Hotpot City were like him, the company wouldn’t have developed so quickly and so well. Regardless, I want to give it a try.”
Xu Yang nodded, “You’re pretty good, seeing the issue so clearly.”
If this girl had walked away and spoken ill of Hotpot City, then his impression of her wouldn’t have been very good either.
To deny an entire group over the issue of one person, such a person who doesn’t come to work for the company is no loss at all.
Gu Caiwei said, “Aren’t you also still here? You probably have the same idea as me, right?”
Xu Yang smiled, “You could say that.”
The two of them chatted for a bit, and Xu Yang found that this girl’s manner of speaking was quite admirable.
Moreover, she had her own principles when it came to work.
Wasn’t this the kind of person that the supervisory team needed?
Soon, another elevator arrived.
The two of them entered the elevator.
Before long, they reached the twentieth floor.
They stepped out of the elevator.
The receptionist was a long-standing employee who had seen Xu Yang before. Upon spotting Xu Yang, she immediately stood to greet him.
However, Xu Yang gestured for her to be quiet.
Xu Yang laughed, “We’re here for an interview.”
Although the receptionist didn’t understand what the boss was up to, she gathered from his hint that he wished to keep his identity hidden. She cast a glance at Gu Caiwei before saying, “Alright, I’ll take you two over.”
The receptionist led them to one of the meeting rooms.
Candidates for the interview were all waiting inside this meeting room.
Xu Yang and Gu Caiwei entered the meeting room.@@novelbin@@
The people who had taken the elevator up earlier saw them and their expressions changed slightly.
Why had these two come?
The manager had already said they were dismissed; what were they still doing here?
Cao Xiaobo frowned, “What are you two still doing here?”
Xu Yang smiled and said, “You’re here for the interview, and we’re also here to interview you. The company isn’t yours, what does it have to do with you?”
Those who had taken the elevator up with Cao Xiaobo knew what was going on.
However, those who had arrived early had no idea and looked at Cao Xiaobo curiously, wondering why he would ask such a question.
Indeed, you’re here to apply for a job, and others are here for the same reason. The company isn’t yours, what does their coming or going have to do with you?
Cao Xiaobo said, “Didn’t my uncle tell you guys?”
Before Xu Yang could respond, Gu Caiwei cut in, “Your uncle is just the head of human resources, I don’t believe he can do whatever he wants. You don’t need to bring up your connection all the time, being a manager is just a middle management position, it’s nothing to be so proud of.”
Gu Caiwei was ready to burn bridges.
The relationship was already like this, it wasn’t going to get any better.
And for someone like Cao Xiaobo, they would never become friends or anything of the sort.
If they became colleagues, they would just interact as colleagues.
It was no big deal, things would be as they should.
“You…” Cao Xiaobo was so angry that his face turned an iron blue.
But he couldn’t come up with a retort right away.
Those who were unaware of the situation now had an idea of what was going on.
It turned out Cao Xiaobo was so arrogant because he had an uncle who was head of human resources.
In the end, Cao Xiaobo snorted coldly, “Then just wait and see. I heard that the initial interview is conducted by my uncle alone, with no one else, which means, he has the final say.”
That was the source of his confidence.
Gu Caiwei’s expression changed slightly, but she didn’t say anything.
“I’m going to the restroom.”
Xu Yang looked at the time, informed Gu Caiwei, and then left the meeting room.
He then went to the general manager’s office.
On the way, the old employees greeted Xu Yang one after another.
Xu Yang responded with a smile and a nod.
“It’s been a long time since Mr. Xu’s last visit.”
“Yeah, it’s been a while since we last saw Mr. Xu.”
“Why is Mr. Xu here today? Is there something we’ve done wrong?”
“I don’t think so, we haven’t done anything wrong.”
“Stop guessing; I heard that Mr. Zhao is not coming to work today, and Xu Yang is here to take a look.”
“So that’s the case. I heard today they’re recruiting a leader for the supervision team, and it’s supposed to be Mr. Zhao’s call, so it must be Mr. Xu who’s going to make the decision.”
“That should be it.”
“A while back, Mr. Xu made such a big splash in Harbor City, he’s really impressive.”
“Of course, Mr. Xu, with his own strength, intimidated the whole Harbor City.”
“Our Mr. Xu is destined to stand atop the world’s pinnacle. We have to work hard; we can’t get laid off, that would be tragic.”
…
Xu Yang entered the general manager’s office and called the manager of the human resources department to come over.
Soon, the manager of the human resources department knocked and entered.
“Manager Lu, please take a seat,” Xu Yang gestured for the human resources manager to sit down, then said, “I’ve called you here to understand some situations.”
Lu Yangping sat down and asked, “Mr. Xu, what would you like to know?”
Xu Yang asked, “The new head of the human resources department is new, right?”
Lu Yangping nodded and said, “Yes, our previous head of human resources left due to personal reasons, so we recruited a new head, named Shao Dazhi, who transferred from another company.”
Xu Yang frowned and said, “If there was a vacancy for the manager position, why wasn’t there a promotion from within the department? I remember our company’s rules and regulations stating that there’s a priority to promote our employees. Is there really no one in your department who is capable of taking on the manager position?”
“This…” Lu Yangping looked distressed and hesitated to speak.
What do you think?
