Chapter 96 The Unexpected Interviewee
Chapter 96 The Unexpected Interviewee
The morning sunlight streamed through the towering glass curtain walls of the office building, refracting a dazzling light. In the city's commercial center, traffic flowed busily, people came and went, all striving for their lives and dreams. And on the top floor of this office building was Li Yuan's company. She, a decisive and intelligent female chairman, was striding confidently into the company's doors.
"Good morning, Chairman!" The two receptionists greeted her in unison, their professional smiles revealing their respect for Li Yuan.
Li Yuan nodded slightly and replied, "Good morning." She wore an elegant black business suit, simple yet sophisticated, her short hair curled over her shoulders, making her look even more capable. The rhythmic sound of her high heels on the marble floor was like the war drums of her business battles, each step carrying a powerful aura.
She stepped into the elevator, where several employees were already inside. Upon seeing her, they all greeted her respectfully, "Good morning, Chairman." Li Yuan gave a soft hum, her eyes calm yet possessing an imposing authority that made people hesitant to look directly at her.
Upon arriving at the office, Secretary Xiao Wu immediately greeted him and handed him a steaming cup of coffee: "Chairman, here's your coffee. Today's meeting is scheduled for nine o'clock in the morning, mainly to discuss the company's recruitment plan."
Li Yuan took the coffee, took a sip, and nodded in satisfaction: "Okay, prepare the relevant materials."
At 9:00 AM sharp, the conference room was filled with the company's senior management.
Li Yuan sat at one end of the conference table, her gaze sweeping across the room before she slowly began to speak: "Recently, the company's business has expanded rapidly, and various departments have reported a shortage of manpower. Therefore, today we need to finalize recruitment information. Let's all share our department's needs and recruitment criteria."
The marketing manager spoke first: "Chairman, our marketing department needs some creative and energetic young people, preferably with experience in new media operations, who can quickly adapt to market changes and seize hot topics for brand promotion."
The head of the R&D department continued, "Our R&D department has high requirements for professional skills. We require a master's degree or above in a relevant field, and those with independent R&D project experience will be given priority. After all, we need to continuously launch competitive new products."
Everyone shared their opinions, and the meeting proceeded in a lively discussion. After some deliberation, the recruitment information was finalized, covering multiple positions, from entry-level employees to middle management, with a planned recruitment of dozens of people.
After the job posting was released, the company's recruitment email address quickly received a large number of resumes. After initial screening, qualified applicants were notified to come for an interview.
The job interview was bustling with people. The applicants were well-dressed, their expressions a mixture of nervousness and anticipation. Among them, one person stood out: Li Yuan's ex-husband, Wang Qiang. He wore a slightly wrinkled shirt, his hair was a little disheveled, and his eyes held a hint of disdain and arrogance.
When it was Wang Qiang's turn for the interview, he swaggered into the interview room, plopped down in a chair, and crossed his legs. The interviewers frowned at his behavior.
Li Yuan happened to be in the interview room as well. When she saw Wang Qiang, she was slightly startled, but quickly regained her composure.
Wang Qiang glanced at the people around him and said sarcastically, "Wow, this interview is quite a big deal. But with a small company like yours, what kind of great development can you expect?"
One of the interviewers, the HR manager, said seriously, "Sir, please respect our company and the interview process."
Wang Qiang, however, disagreed and continued, "I don't think your job requirements are very good. It's a waste of my talents to be here."
Li Yuan finally couldn't help but speak up: "Wang Qiang, no matter what your opinion of the company is, since you're here for an interview, please observe basic manners and rules."
When Wang Qiang heard Li Yuan's voice, he was first taken aback, then burst into laughter: "Haha, it's you! I was wondering why this company's name sounded so familiar. You, as the chairman, haven't managed to make the company anything special."
Li Yuan took a deep breath, trying to suppress her anger: "Wang Qiang, we are conducting a formal recruitment interview. If you are just here to cause trouble, please leave."
Wang Qiang, however, became even more aggressive: "What, are you afraid I'll reveal your secrets? You think you can act like a strong woman in front of me? You're just lucky."
At this moment, the head of human resources said, "Sir, you may not know this, but sitting in front of you is Ms. Li Yuan, the chairman of our company."
Wang Qiang's eyes widened instantly, his smile froze, and he stammered, "You...you're the chairman? How is that possible?"
Li Yuan looked at him coldly: "Wang Qiang, I don't want to waste my time here with you. Your attitude and quality are not suitable for our company at all."
Wang Qiang's face turned pale, then flushed. He stood up and said慌张地, "I...I didn't mean to. I haven't been doing well lately, so..."
Li Yuan waved her hand: "Go away, I don't want to see you again."
Wang Qiang slunk out of the interview room, drawing strange looks from the other applicants.
The interviews continued, but the brief incident had left a deep impression on everyone. Li Yuan composed herself and said to the interviewers, "Don't let what happened affect you. We need to select the talent that is truly suitable for the company."
After a full day of interviews, a list of candidates to be hired was finally finalized. Looking at the list, Li Yuan secretly resolved to lead these new employees to greater success for the company, to prove herself with her abilities, and to silence those who, like Wang Qiang, looked down on her.
After get off work, Li Yuan sat alone in her office, reflecting on the day's events, and was filled with emotion. She knew that she would encounter all sorts of challenges and difficulties on this entrepreneurial path, but she would not back down. Just like when she first took over the company, she would forge ahead and strive towards higher goals.
As the days passed and new employees joined the company one after another, the company returned to its former busyness and vitality. Li Yuan continued to work hard, actively expanding business and strengthening internal management. Under her leadership, the company gradually embarked on a path of rapid development.
One day, the company successfully secured an important project, and all employees were immersed in joy. Li Yuan stood by the office window, gazing at the bustling city outside, a confident smile on her face. She knew this was just a new beginning, and many more glories awaited her in the future.
