Interview

  "I happen to be free today, Daisy. They are all in London, right. Let's make arrangements to see if we can have an interview in the afternoon?" "

  Okay, I'll contact them."

  Wait until Daisy calls to contact them. , Barron flipped through the resume information she handed him. When he turned to the second page, he was stunned for a moment. It was not because the photo above looked very beautiful, but because of the other person's appearance. He was obviously Chinese or Asian. Origin.

  Barron saw the other party's name - Laura.Wong, Laura Wang? It seems like it really is a Chinese name.

  With some interest, Barron looked at the other person's resume. He indeed came to England from China to study. He had a very good academic qualification and graduated from Cambridge University. Speaking of which, Barron almost went to Cambridge to study at that time.

  After all, no matter what his grades are, the relationship between the Cavendish family and Cambridge is still very deep - Barron's ancestor, the ninth Duke of Devonshire, once served as the president of Cambridge University.

  The Lucy Cavendish College in Cambridge, where Laura Wong graduated, is named after the daughter-in-law of the ninth generation Devon Hill, a family member who was committed to female education.

  Well, Lucy Cavendish College is one of three women's colleges in Cambridge and admits only female students.

  ...

  "Thank you for your visit. If you pass the interview, we will notify you within three working days."

  Watching Daisy send the second interviewer away, the rather enchanting lady did not say anything before leaving. Forgetting to secretly glance at Barron...

  Barron stretched and couldn't help complaining to Daisy who returned to him:

  "Daisy, these people you chose... can't be real Do you think you are looking for a lover for me? 'I can do anything for my job'..."

  Hearing Barron imitating the tone of the interviewer just now, Daisy rolled her eyes at him:

  "Maybe this is the damn man. What we like, you know, these two ladies are both senior secretaries..."

  "F**K, what I want is an assistant who can handle complicated things, not that kind of toy."

  Haha, if I don't know you, I have It's been two or three years. You used to know all the virtues, but you really believed in you.

  Although she thinks so in her heart, Daisy will definitely not say this out loud. She still needs this job.

  "How about I ask the last lady to come over?"

  "Is that Asian? Inform her to come over."

  ...

  When Laura Wong came in, Barron's eyes lit up.

  It's not that she is more beautiful than the women interviewed before, but she has an elegant and virtuous temperament with oriental characteristics that is rare in British women.

  "Hello, Your Highness the Duke."

  Laura.Wong speaks English very fluently, with a standard London accent.

  "Hello, Ms. Wang, I see on the information that you are from China, right?"

  However, to the surprise of the Chinese interviewer, the young and handsome British aristocrat sitting in front of her said, Very fluent in Chinese.

  This scene also made Daisy sitting next to her look confused - she couldn't understand what Barron just said at all, but with her intelligence, from the identity of Laura Wong and the "strange" pronunciation , guessed it might be Chinese.

  The key is, when did Barron learn Chinese?

  "Yes, I was born in China and grew up there. After college, I came to London and have stayed there until now. In addition, your Chinese is so good, Your Highness the Duke."

  Laura.Wong sincerely praised Barron's Chinese. She felt that if she hadn't seen the words spoken just now by the blond and blue-eyed authentic British aristocrat in front of her, she would have thought they were spoken by a native Chinese.   

  "I have some Chinese artworks at home, and I have been attracted to the culture behind them since I was a child. In addition, I once dated a Chinese girlfriend, so I learned Chinese at that time. Maybe I have some language talent. "

  After all, it is impossible for the other party to know that there is a soul from China in Barron's body. Barron also gave a more reasonable introduction to the fact that he can speak fluent Chinese.

  In fact, among the many girls that Barron had dated in his previous life, there were indeed Chinese Americans. It was just that the guy at that time had no intention of communicating verbally except for some kind of communication.

  During the conversation, Barron also learned that Laura Wong's Chinese name was Wang Wanting, and she was born on the bank of the West Lake in China.

  It was also because this was the first time Barron met a Chinese after coming to this time and space - Wang Wanting has now become a British citizen - so he couldn't help but chat with her.

  Next came the formal interview process, and Barron also began to resume talking to Wang Wanting in English.

  "Ms. Wang, I saw on your resume that you have a double degree in business administration and finance from Cambridge University. After graduation, you also worked at Deloitte. This part of your resume is very good. It can be said that your career prospects are very good. What makes you How about applying for the position of personal assistant? You must know that this job is not easy, and in terms of salary, there is no advantage compared to senior positions in Deloitte, one of the four major firms." "To be honest,

  before this I had I have participated in interviews for other positions, including some big companies, but it is not easy to find a job recently, and I have been idle for three years without a job... Even a job like Deloitte's before, based on my experience My age is a bit embarrassing now, especially my identity."

  Wang Wanting's answer was very frank, and there was no specific implication in it. Barron could also understand that companies like Deloitte could enter the field when Wang Wanting was younger. Basic work, slowly getting promoted.

  But she has been out of work for three years, and now that she is nearly thirty years old, she will be interviewing for this kind of company...

  Basic positions have no advantage over young people, but for senior positions, because she has the opportunity to do so during the critical three years of her rise. If it is missing, there will be a lack of qualifications.

  If she were a man, it would be better, but if she were a woman and of Chinese descent, then the chances would be even less - the reality is like this, all kinds of discrimination will not appear on the surface, but those with weak voices will become obstacle.

  "This is also what I want to ask, why did you have a three-year career gap?" "

  Because I got married at that time, Your Highness the Duke. At that time, because my... ex-husband had better career prospects, I decided to take care of the family with all my strength. It's just that later... after the final divorce, I need to start working again."

  "Do you have children? Please forgive me for needing to know this, because you know that as a personal assistant, you need to be on call at any time, so you don't have much private time. So if you have a family or children to take care of..."

  "I understand, Your Highness the Duke, I am alone now, without children or a family, and I think I can have more time at work."

  ...

  It can be said that through Through these conversations, Barron has gained a general understanding of Wang Wanting's situation. Although she is already 28 years old and has no advantage over the other two applicants in terms of age, Barron feels that age is not that important - at least there is a gap of two or three years. , is not yet decisive.

  He was quite satisfied with other aspects of her situation.

  "Last question, Ms. Wang, when can you start working?"

  "Ah?"

  Wang Wanting was stunned for a moment before she realized what Barron meant. She had passed the interview and was hired...

  "I You can do it now, Your Highness the Duke."

  "There is no need to be in such a hurry. I will have an appointment tomorrow. I will give you the address of my apartment. Just go there to meet up in the morning. I hope you can get into the mood as soon as possible."
