Job Interview

Fu Xing checked on the documents in his hands for the umpteenth time before he was finally satisfied. As he gave a last look at the documents, he couldn't help but wonder what was his boss up to.

Usually, it was the Human Resources Department who was supposed to deal with recruitment. However, this time President Long Fei wanted him to manage this personally.

Two days ago, he was instructed to put up a recruitment advertisement on the company's webpage and closed the application after the advertisement has been there for half a day.

It was too strange.

Fu Xing was puzzled. But as President Long Fei's assistant, he could only follow his boss's instructions and do his best until that man was satisfied.

Taking a deep breath, Fu Xing finally knocked on the door and waited for his boss to let him enter. Once he heard President Long Fei's voice, Fu Xing pushed the door and walked up straight until he was close enough to the desk.

Seeing that his boss was still typing something on his computer, Fu Xing decided to wait.

The click-clacking sound of the keyboard finally stopped.

"What's the matter?" Long Fei finally raised his head to look at his assistant. Then, he grabbed the drinking water bottle on his table and drank a lot of water.

"President Long, the matter you asked me to do is completed," Fu Xing said. He took the documents in his hand and placed them on the desk.

Long Fei grabbed the documents and realized that Su Ruan's resume was among the documents that Fu Xing had handed to him.

His heart skipped a beat as he read her name again and again. However, the look on his face remained cool. It was as if he was not affected at all.

He could still remember the last time he saw Su Ruan was a couple of days ago. That day, Su Ruan was discharged from the hospital and watched as she leave with her friend. He could only be at ease once he had checked with the doctor to know that she was well enough.

His heartbeat grew erratic at the thought of seeing her face again. He wanted to be closer to her. He needed to be closer to her.

"These were all the candidates who will be coming to the interview today?" Long Fei raised his brow.

"Yes, President Long." Fu Xing continued to observe his boss's face and still could not understand what was he planning to do.

He flipped through the documents and finally pulled out Su Ruan's resume. "Just let her pass."

A look of surprise flashed on his face. Fu Xing picked up the resume and tried to remember the name and face. Then, he looked up again. "And the rest of them?"

Long Fei rapped his fingers into a thin line pursed his lips into a thin line. "We only going to employ this woman."

Fu Xing quickly understood what his boss wanted to do. "I understand."

It seemed that his boss had set his eyes to employ only Su Ruan. The others who attended this interview will only act as the supporting actor.

He suddenly wondered if his boss had made him post the recruitment advertisement for this woman.

He gathered his thought and was about to turn around when his boss called his name again.

"Yes, President Long?"

"Tell me when that person arrives."

Fu Xing nodded again. "Yes, President Long."

At this time, Fu Xing was convinced that this woman called Su Ruan was special. His boss had never shown interest in a woman. This was the first time.

Fu Xing decided that once this woman showed up, he should do his best to win her heart.

However… Fu Xing couldn't understand why his boss would want to hire Miss Su as a senior journalist in their company. If he liked this woman, shouldn't he give her a higher position? Perhaps to a place where he could watch her closely?

After thinking about it for a while, Fu Xing decided not to think too much and do his job as he was instructed.

…

"Su Ruan," Lin Qing's voice could be heard on the other line. "Are you sure you're healthy enough to attend this interview? It has been two days since you are discharged from the hospital. Perhaps it would be better if you stay home and recuperate."

"I'm fine." Su Ruan chuckled. She touched the back of her head with her hand and spoke, "It was just a bump in my head and the swelling has disappeared. I'm healthy enough to attend this interview."

Lin Qing sighed. Clearly, she was still very worried about her friend's condition.

"Besides," Su Ruan continued. "It was a rare chance for me to attend an interview at Blue Media Group. You know how hard it is to be shortlisted."

Lin Qing could not deny that Su Ruan was right. She still thought that it was a miracle for Su Ruan to be shortlisted.

Su Ruan saw the recruitment advertisement in her email on the day she was discharged from the hospital and decided to try her luck. They did not think that they would succeed.

Blue Media Group only gave a few days to prepare for the interview before Su Ruan was called to attend the interview.

"Lin Qing, you should wish me luck." Her lips curled into a bright smile.

Lin Qing laughed. "Alright. Su Ruan, good luck with your interview. Remember to treat me to a good meal when you succeed."

"Un, I know. Lin Qing, you are my biggest supporter. How can I not treat you to a good meal? I'll buy you a box of pastries from the Orchid Hotel to celebrate."

Lin Qing muttered a cursing word. She knew well that the pastries from Orchid Hotel were expensive, but the taste was amazing. She had used her first salary to try a slice of tiramisu in the past and later, she had to skip a few meals because she was too broke.

"So generous?"

"Heh. If I get a job with Blue Media, of course, my salary would double," Su Ruan said "Buying a box of pastries for once should not be a problem."

The two friends continued to chat until Su Ruan arrived in front of the building. She raised her head and stared at the signboard for a long time.

With a deep breath, Su Ruan entered the building.
