Chapter 1008 Li Xiaoyue: Did I get lucky?
Early the next morning, Li Xiaoyue got up and started packing. Although she was not very career-oriented, many of her business hobbies required money. After resigning and resting for almost a month, her savings were almost gone. It was time to start making money.
I took the subway and bus all the way to the subway entrance near Kerry Center.
Li Xiaoyue adjusted her clothes in front of the mirror in the lobby before coming to the elevator shaft door.
While waiting for the elevator, a tall and handsome man walked towards her. Li Xiaoyue's eyes lit up. It was not that she was infatuated with him, but she felt that this handsome guy would look very handsome if he put on Hanfu. This was her instinct as a Hanfu lover and had formed a subconscious reaction.
Li Xiaoyue smiled at the "handsome guy", but unexpectedly the "handsome guy" also gave her a polite smile.
Just when Li Xiaoyue was hesitating whether to add the contact information of the "handsome guy" and develop into a Hanfu partner, the elevator arrived.
The "handsome guy" entered the elevator first, and Li Xiaoyue had to give up the idea and followed him in.
What Li Xiaoyue didn't expect was that the "handsome guy" actually pressed the button for the 22nd floor.
"Can I be a colleague of this handsome guy in the future?"
For a moment, Li Xiaoyue became more looking forward to this job.
With a "ding" sound, the elevator arrived at the 22nd floor. Li Xiaoyue looked at the "handsome guy" entering the Creative Engine Advertising Company where she was going to have an interview, and she was secretly happy.
"Hello, my name is Li Xiaoyue and I'm here for an interview."
After verifying her identity, the lady at the front desk took Li Xiaoyue to the meeting room.
When passing by the office area, Li Xiaoyue discovered that this company seemed to have been established not long ago, and the desks and chairs were all new. She couldn't help but frown. Although she was not very ambitious and did not pursue promotion or salary increase, joining a new company was still risky. After all, there had to be one reliable party between the employee and the company, right?
"Ms. Li, please wait a moment."
"Ok."
About a quarter of an hour later, just when Li Xiaoyue was bored, a man and a woman walked in.
What Li Xiaoyue didn't expect was that the man who came in was the handsome guy she met in the elevator.
HR looked at Qin Hao who was sitting next to him, and became more convinced that Li Xiaoyue was special, because she was the one who interviewed all the other people in the company, and the boss had never shown up, but Li Xiaoyue was not only "personally selected" by the boss, but also attended the interview in person.
"Hello, Ms. Li, would you please introduce yourself?"
Li Xiaoyue cleared her throat and began to introduce herself.
HR observed Qin Hao's facial expression calmly. Li Xiaoyue's academic qualifications and experience were average. If she were to lead the interview, Li Xiaoyue would be game over. Now that the boss was here, it was natural that the boss had the final say.
Unfortunately, HR did not see any biased expression on Qin Hao's face and could only continue the process.
"Okay, Miss Li, I've read your resume. Can I ask you a few questions?"
"Of course, just ask." Li Xiaoyue was a little confused. Was the tone of this HR too polite, or was it just her habit to speak like that?
So, the HR asked some common questions about the advertising planning position.
Li Xiaoyue also answered questions fluently. Although she did not have a high level of education and only graduated from a second-tier university, she was still quite capable.
After Li Xiaoyue finished answering, HR did not say anything, but subconsciously looked at Qin Hao.
Qin Hao, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up: "If I were a client and needed you to help me make a plan for this pen and sell it, what would you do?"
Li Xiaoyue initially thought that Qin Hao was just a mascot, but when she saw HR was always looking at Qin Hao's expression, she roughly guessed that Qin Hao must be HR's superior.
"First of all, I need to know your positioning for this pen. Do you want to sell it in large quantities or go for the high-end market to earn a high premium? If you want to sell it in large quantities, you need to target two markets, one is the student market and the other is the office market. If you want to go for the high-end market, you need to tell a story and package this pen as a high-end business conference product..."
After listening to Li Xiaoyue, the HR nodded secretly. It seemed that this pretty girl hired by the boss was actually quite capable.
"Okay, I'm fine." Qin Hao gave the HR a look and prepared to get up and leave. As long as Li Xiaoyue joined the company, there would be plenty of opportunities to get close to her in the future. Today was enough to leave an impression on the other party, and there was no need to continue to show his presence. A man must maintain a little mystery to be attractive to women.
The HR nodded and said to Li Xiaoyue, "Ms. Li is qualified for this position. I am also optimistic about you. When do you think you can start work?"
Li Xiaoyue said, "I have two questions."
The HR's expression froze, but he still showed a kind smile: "Ms. Li, do you have any questions about salary and benefits?"
Because Qin Hao, who had just stood up, actually sat down again.
Li Xiaoyue asked seriously: "The first question is, does the company work a lot of overtime? Do you give overtime pay?"
Just when HR was about to show off his ability to make promises in front of the boss, he heard Qin Hao slowly say.
"The company was established not long ago and the business has not yet developed, so theoretically there won't be much overtime in the near future. If the business gets busy later, overtime pay will be given in accordance with the labor law."
Li Xiaoyue's eyes lit up and she couldn't help but give a thumbs up to the boss of this company.
"The second question is, if I encounter unreasonable requests from clients when I am working with them, will the company punish me if I refuse?"
HR almost subconsciously wanted to give this little girl a real-life workplace lesson to let her know what it means that the customer is God.
However, Qin Hao replied seriously: "Your job is to help customers publicize and promote products. As for other requests that are not related to work, of course you can refuse them. Why should the company punish you?"
HR was dumbfounded on the spot. Are you serious if he says he is not the boss?
Isn't it agreed that the customer is God? Are you agreeing that your employees should offend God? HR suddenly feels that this company seems to have no future. Should I prepare to change jobs and run away in advance?
Li Xiaoyue was very satisfied, but she still looked at the HR. After all, this "handsome guy" looked too young and his words might not count.
Seeing this, HR had no choice but to introduce Li Xiaoyue: "Mr. Qin is our boss, and whatever he says is what counts."
Li Xiaoyue's first reaction was not shock, but regret. Such a good Hanfu pair was gone just like that. The boss was busy making money, thinking about how to make money. How could he have the time to play with Hanfu with an idle person like herself?
"Do you have any other questions?"
Facing Qin Hao's inquiry, Li Xiaoyue waved her hand quickly: "No more, thank you, Mr. Qin, I can start work tomorrow."
Qin Hao nodded, turned and left the meeting room.
After coming out of the creative engine, Li Xiaoyue posted the information in the "Food, Drink and Fun Group" as soon as possible.
"Let's get together tonight. I'll treat you."
The next second the group became lively.
"Wow, you've been unemployed for so long and still have some savings. It looks like you've saved up a lot of private money."
"What good thing happened to you? You're so generous? Did you get back together with your boyfriend?"
Li Xiaoyue tapped the screen of her phone quickly with her fingers: "Huh, in your eyes, is this all I can do? Let me tell you, I have found a job."
"Hey, I thought it was some good news. What's there to celebrate? You won't be doing this for long anyway. Let's just save the money for the meal and split the bill."
"Yeah, with the frequency of your job search, if you treat everyone every time, can your little pocket money afford it?"
Li Xiaoyue said unhappily at the booing of her besties.
"Don't look down on me. The job I found today pays 20,000 yuan a month, and I don't have to work overtime. I will be rich in the future, and I can support any of you."
The group was completely blown up.
"No way? There are still such magical jobs these days?"
"Li Xiaoyue, you were not deceived into doing pyramid selling, were you?"
"I don't believe it. Unless you put me in there, I won't believe it even if you kill me."
"Please support me, Miss Li. From now on, I will go wherever you point me. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."
Li Xiaoyue was very satisfied with the reactions of her girlfriends.
"Let's talk about this when we meet tonight. I'm afraid you'll get too excited and lose your jobs. I can't afford to support so many people."
After saying that, Li Xiaoyue stopped checking WeChat and found a pottery shop through Meituan to do handicrafts. Anyway, she would not start work until tomorrow, so she could play for one more day.
An hour later, Li Xiaoyue was concentrating on shaping her clay model when she heard a rapid phone call.
Li Xiaoyue washed her hands, took out her cell phone, and when she saw the caller ID showed "Na Jun", her face immediately fell.
"Is there anything wrong? If nothing, I'm hanging up now."
Na Jun said humbly, "No, Xiaoyue, I was wrong. I promise that I will never interfere with your life again and force you to make progress. Please add me back from the blacklist."
Li Xiaoyue snorted: "Don't try that. It's hard to change a person's nature. You've said this so many times."
"I mean well then..." Na Jun muttered.
Facing Na Jun's defense, Li Xiaoyue said angrily: "Well-intentioned, you are interfering in my life under the banner of doing good for me. Let me tell you, Na Jun, the most terrible thing in this world is to manipulate other people's lives under the banner of 'for your own good'. Even parents are not qualified to do this, not to mention that you are just my ex-boyfriend!"
After saying that, Li Xiaoyue hung up the phone.
Na Jun on the other end of the phone was also a little angry. His father passed away early, and his mother had to raise the two children alone by setting up a street stall. So he was very motivated since he was a child and focused on studying. He firmly believed in a truth since he was a child: for children from poor families, studying is the only way to change their destiny.
He is also very competitive. He has always been at the top of his class since he was young. He was first admitted to a prestigious university and then sent to graduate school. After graduation, he joined an Internet technology company and worked his way up from an intern to a team leader who is highly regarded by department leaders and has an annual salary of one million.
Na Jun always felt that the path he was taking was the right one.
But he encountered obstacles everywhere with Li Xiaoyue. The two often quarreled over this issue. This was already the fifth time they had broken up. You should know that it had only been two years since they confirmed their relationship, and Li Xiaoyue had broken up once every four months on average.
If it were someone else, Na Jun would have said goodbye to someone better and more obedient, but he couldn't let go of Li Xiaoyue. On the one hand, Li Xiaoyue was young and beautiful, which was in line with his aesthetic taste, and he could also gain face by taking her out. On the other hand, he envied Li Xiaoyue's unrestrained vigor and her straightforward and free-spirited attitude.
Many times, the more you can't get something, the harder it is to give it up, and Na Jun is no exception.
There was no other way, Na Jun could only continue to call Li Xiaoyue.
"Najun, if you call me again to harass me, I will block your number too!"
After saying that, Li Xiaoyue hung up the phone.
Na Jun: ...
Seven o'clock in the evening, in the hot pot restaurant.
Li Xiaoyue and some of her girlfriends had just ordered the soup base and side dishes when someone couldn't wait to ask about it.
"Xiaoyue, you said today that you found a great job. Is that true?"
Li Xiaoyue said proudly: "Didn't you say during the day that I was deceived into doing pyramid selling?"
"Xiaoyue, I was wrong. I sincerely regret it. Please let me go."
Faced with her best friend's coquettishness, Li Xiaoyue couldn't resist and told her about the salary and benefits of Creative Engine.
A close friend expressed doubt: "Xiaoyue, this company has such good recruitment conditions, don't they have any requirements for academic qualifications?"
"Ahem, I don't mean to look down on you. I'm just wondering, aren't jobs like this usually very strict about academic qualifications?"
Li Xiaoyue thought about it and it seemed to make sense: "I'm not too sure. Anyway, I received a call from HR yesterday and went for an interview today. The boss seemed quite satisfied with me and asked me to start work tomorrow. There shouldn't be any pitfalls, right?"
"That's not necessarily true. I see that many scammers now post high-salary information on recruitment websites, and then all kinds of tricks come out, such as high-priced training fees. There are so many tricks, so be careful."
After hearing what her best friend said, Li Xiaoyue became a little hesitant.
"Anyway, if the situation is not right, I will run away immediately. As long as I am not greedy, no one can cheat me of my money!"
When her girlfriends heard this, they thought it made sense. It would be difficult to cheat someone as clear-headed as Li Xiaoyue out of her money.
"Xiaoyue, you should try this company first. If there are no tricks and the salary and benefits are really that good, remember me if there are any vacancies."
"Of course I can forget you."
After eating hot pot, Li Xiaoyue and his group went to sing KTV and played until twelve o'clock before going home.
Early the next morning, Li Xiaoyue had to get up and rush to the company.
"This company is good in every way, except that it's too far from where I live. If it doesn't work out, I'll move to a shared apartment closer after I get paid."
After two hours of commuting, Li Xiaoyue finally arrived at the company before work.
HR quickly completed the entry procedures for her and arranged a workstation and all necessary office supplies for Li Xiaoyue.
At first, Li Xiaoyue was worried that there might be some tricks behind the office supplies given by HR, but she found out that she was overthinking.
"Your planning group currently has no leader, and these people have just joined the company not long ago, so you should communicate more."
Li Xiaoyue greeted everyone one by one.
Since there was nothing to do at the moment, Li Xiaoyue and a few others started chatting.
After some understanding, Li Xiaoyue discovered that several other colleagues in the planning group were graduates of prestigious universities and their resumes were much better than hers.
"It doesn't look like a scam company. Did I get lucky?"
