"What did you say?" Yuan Shanshan asked with furrowed brows.
"Ah, nothing, I said students at Tsinghua University have such a good life...."
Hao Jian replied, then began asking questions, "Name?"
"Didn't you already know it just now?" Yuan Shanshan said, her face expressing disbelief, thinking how odd this manager was.
Hao Jian's face suddenly darkened, "Listen, I'm your immediate superior now, so whatever I ask, you answer. No need for any nonsense, OK?"
"Oh." Seeing Hao Jian's serious expression, she could only nod and said earnestly:
"My name is Yuan Shanshan."
"Position you're applying for?"
"Hmm, give me your ID for registration," Hao Jian said.
Yuan Shanshan obediently handed over her ID.
Hao Jian glanced at the ID and was shocked. On it was clearly written "Yuan Facai."
Hao Jian gave Yuan Shanshan a strange look, her name is Yuan Facai? Then why would she use a fake name to deceive me?
She could have been honest, what exactly is she trying to accomplish by doing this? Could she be a corporate spy from another company? Otherwise, why all this secrecy?
"Is there something wrong?" Yuan Shanshan asked, sensing something off as well.
"Nothing, let's continue."
Hao Jian quickly composed himself, thinking he mustn't let Yuan Shanshan see he was suspicious of her, "Do you have any special skills or something you're particularly proud of?
"Oh yes, that would be my eyes," Yuan Shanshan blinked her large eyes:
"People always say the eyes are the windows to the soul. My eyes are big and bright, my mom and friends say they sparkle like diamonds."
"Really? I also have something particularly big, want to take a look?" Hao Jian chuckled mischievously.
Something particularly big?
Yuan Shanshan's pretty face immediately darkened, and recalling the previous incident with Xiao Qiang, she stood up warily, grabbed her handbag, and prepared to leave.
At the same time, Yuan Shanshan looked at Hao Jian with disdain:
"Shameless scoundrel!"
Then Yuan Shanshan slammed the door on her way out.
"Scoundrel? Who's the scoundrel? Have you ever seen a scoundrel as handsome as this?" Hao Jian shouted toward the door, then angrily flexed his arm, squeezing out a bicep:
"Really, I just wanted to show you my particularly big biceps, and you're not even grateful. I don't usually show it to just anyone."
Before long, Xiao Qiang came back!
Seeing Hao Jian posing various fitness postures in her office, Xiao Qiang's face instantly turned green:
"What are you doing?"
"Ah, nothing. By the way, there was someone named Yuan Shanshan who came for an interview, I feel like something's off about her."
Hao Jian said seriously, the mere fact that she hid her real name gave him sufficient reason to suspect that Yuan Shanshan had impure motives.
"What's off about her?"
Xiao Qiang collapsed weakly onto the sofa, her head in a whirl. As the HR manager, having been caught kissing someone by a newcomer, how was she supposed to face that newcomer again?
"I suspect she's a corporate spy!" Hao Jian lowered his voice, saying earnestly.
"Ah? Why would you say that?"
Xiao Qiang immediately sat up, if that was true, it would be serious, since their company couldn't afford to bring in a business spy.
"She told me her name was Yuan Shanshan, but actually her ID says Yuan Facai. She's definitely up to something since she intentionally concealed her real name!" Hao Jian stated decisively.
Xiao Qiang clasped his forehead, his face full of speechlessness.
"Why the sigh? Aren't you planning to deal with such an important matter? Or report it to the president?"
Seeing Xiao Qiang's indifferent attitude, Hao Jian immediately became anxious, as this was related to the company's interests.
"Hao Jian, if my ID said Xiao Facai, I wouldn't tell others my real name either, and I would change it," Xiao Qiang said with a tone of exasperation.
"Shanshan, how did the interview go today?"
"Don't ask, I met a perverted manager who harassed me right from the start, really bad luck."
Yuan Shanshan pulled out a chair in the restaurant and sat in front of a girl, but still looked utterly dejected.
"Ah, really? That unlucky?" the girl exclaimed in shock.
If Hao Jian were here, he would recognize instantly that this girl was the previously mentioned Little Gangster Girl—Che Xiaoxiao.
"Yeah, I actually liked this company because the president is about my age, but I didn't expect such a bad environment. It seems I'll have to submit my resume elsewhere."
Yuan Shanshan expressed her disappointment. With such a perverted boss, how could she possibly continue working there?
"That severe? What exactly did that manager do to you?" Che Xiaoxiao was also curious about what had happened that made Yuan Shanshan so upset she'd give up such a rare opportunity.
"That pervert started by asking me to look at 'that' of his, can you believe how disgusting that is?"
Mentioning Hao Jian only fueled Yuan Shanshan's anger, as there should be no such person.
"Wow, that is really perverted," Che Xiaoxiao exclaimed in shock:
"Do you want me to find some thugs to teach him a lesson? I won't let him off easily for making my good sister lose her job!"
Che Xiaoxiao gestured with her small fist, looking playful and cute.
But she was not joking; she was actually planning to seek revenge on Hao Jian. Although this girl was a bit odd, she was very loyal.
"Forget it, it's just a bunch of ****. Just ignore him; why even bother stepping on him?" Yuan Shanshan didn't have the mood, as it was just a job, and she could continue to look for another one.
"Well, then, he's lucky," Che Xiaoxiao snorted and then said:
"Let's order something; I'm starving to death."
Yuan Shanshan glanced at Che Xiaoxiao with annoyance but laughed helplessly.
She knew Che Xiaoxiao was quirky and funny, besides being a food lover. In her life, only three things mattered: money, traffic, and food.
Also, playing the fool a bit!
Soon, the food was served.
Che Xiaoxiao ate heartily, her mouth stuffed full, and mumbled unclearly:
"So what are you going to do next, finding a job is not easy nowadays, especially those big companies, all require work experience. Companies one that don't require experience are rare!"
"After all, you still have a sick mother and a disabled brother at home, you need a lot of medical expenses, if you can't find a high-paying job, your mom might just have to move out of the hospital," Che Xiaoxiao said.
With those words, Yuan Shanshan's smile instantly vanished, replaced by a heavy gloom.
Yes, she also had a disabled brother to support, and her mom was currently in the hospital. It was almost time to pay the hospital bills, but they had no savings left!
If she didn't figure something out soon, her mom would be evicted from the hospital.
