"Han Baobao, can I really get through the interview?" Hearing the staff say the interview had started, Li Manman pulled on Han Mingliang’s arm. "Don’t worry, you have to believe in the power of the chief examiner!" Han Mingliang kissed Li Manman on the forehead, then headed toward the interview room. His father had already told him that he was the first one to be interviewed, and Li Manman was the second. This was special treatment for the two of them. "You sit down first, it’s not your turn yet." But to his surprise, a staff member stopped him. "Hello, you are the first interviewee. Please follow me." The staff member then turned to Zhou Wanshing, who had short hair, and invited her into the interview room. "Hello, examiners. My name is Zhou Wanshing, and this is my resume." As soon as she entered the room, Zhou Wanshing took out her resume and placed it in front of the chief examiner, Han Liang, and the other examiners. For origınal chapters go to 𝙣𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙡•𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙚⚫𝙣𝙚𝙩 Everyone looked over Zhou Wanshing’s resume and began to exchange comments. "Wow, this resume is so beautifully made!" "She’s won scholarships every year. She’s very outstanding!" "Yes, she’s young, talented, and beautiful. She’s sure to pass the interview." Zhou Wanshing’s eyes widened in surprise. What’s going on? They barely glanced at my resume and they’re already giving me such high praise, even saying outright that I’ll pass? Little did she know that the CEO of Meisi, Lu Hongliang, had already tipped off the chief examiner, Han Liang, who in turn had informed the other examiners. Even if she lay on the ground and slept, she would definitely pass this interview. Afterward, the chief examiner even handed her a bottle of water, leaving her feeling quite overwhelmed by the favor. Then, the chief examiner and the other examiners didn’t ask her any specific questions. Instead, they just made small talk with her for five minutes, even asking who she had come with and what their relationship was. "I came with my neighbor. We’ve known each other since we were children," she said truthfully. "Oh, so you’re childhood sweethearts. That’s a deep relationship!" all the examiners couldn’t help but exclaim in admiration. The interview ended after just two or three minutes. Zhou Wanshing left the interview room utterly confused. She didn’t leave with Su Xuan, because the results would be announced on the spot as soon as all the interviews were finished, and successful candidates could sign their trial agreements that very day. Then it was Han Mingliang’s turn. He also came out quickly, immediately adopting an arrogant and domineering air. He proclaimed that he had performed perfectly and was sure to have passed. "It’s so nice to have connections!" Full of confidence, Li Manman entered the interview room. Her interview, however, was somewhat more challenging. The examiners asked her many questions, some of which she didn’t know how to answer. Yet, she wasn’t too worried, thinking it was just the normal interview process and that she was certain to pass. "I will now announce the results of the interview!" Once everyone had finished, a staff member walked into the waiting area to announce the results. Everyone listened with bated breath. "Zhou Wanshing and Han Mingliang have passed the interview!" The room erupted into an uproar. Li Manman, in particular, immediately grabbed Han Mingliang’s wrist and demanded, "Didn’t you say I would definitely pass? How come even Zhou Wanshing passed, but I didn’t? Are you still trying to pursue her?" Han Mingliang was also completely bewildered. "That’s impossible," he muttered. "I’ll go ask what happened!" Just then, a man suddenly stood up. Pointing at Han Mingliang, he announced to the staff, "I want to expose someone! I suspect he pulled strings. This interview was unfair!" As soon as he spoke, everyone in the room focused their attention on him. It was the same man who had glared at Han Mingliang with disgust earlier. "Do you have evidence?" the staff member asked. "I have a recording!" The man took out his phone and played the recording on the spot. "There’s no justice to speak of in this society. Without strong connections, you can hardly move an inch!" "Don’t worry about it, you have to believe in the power of the chief examiner!" These were the very words Han Mingliang himself had spoken. "You’re too devious! To think you’d secretly record me!" Han Mingliang’s expression turned ugly. He instantly regretted showing off, but he wasn’t too scared. After all, he hadn’t said his father was the chief examiner. He had that much sense. "Your recording doesn’t carry enough weight," the staff member told the accuser. "You can’t just impulsively suspect a successful candidate because you were rejected." "I can accept being rejected. I know I performed poorly during the interview," the man stated firmly and composedly. "But the recording is enough to raise suspicion that he has a connection to the chief examiner. I request that you re-interview him, right here and now!" "Yes, interview him on the spot!" "And there must be a new chief examiner!" "If he performs well, we’ll accept the results!" "Otherwise, none of us are leaving today! You have to give us an explanation!" "We’ll also post about the interview scandal at Meisi online! Let’s see who dares to apply to Meisi after this!" The others also began to clamor. The staff member saw there was nothing else he could do and was about to consult his superior when he saw Lu Hongliang walk in, holding a water cup. The staff member immediately went to him. "President Lu, what should we do about this?" "Then let’s have a public interview," Lu Hongliang said. "Alright." The staff member quickly made the arrangements. This time, the chief examiner was not Han Mingliang’s father. As a result, under the new chief examiner’s questioning, Han Mingliang either knew nothing or gave irrelevant answers. This shocked everyone present and stirred even greater anger, and they began demanding the cancellation of his selection. "How could such a person be chosen?" Lu Hongliang was furious as well. He had no idea that Han Liang was Han Mingliang’s father; Han Liang had arranged everything behind his back. Lu Hongliang immediately addressed the crowd, "This brat has no right to work at Meisi. Furthermore, I will hold the chief examiner responsible and fire him!" Upon hearing this, Han Mingliang collapsed to the ground. It’s over! It’s all over! I overplayed my hand! Not only have I screwed myself, but I’ve screwed over my old man too! "This is the integrity a major company should have!" "With Meisi acting , we feel reassured. Our confidence in the company is restored!" Seeing Han Mingliang’s pitiful state made everyone happy. Just then, a man burst in and started punching and kicking Han Mingliang. "You beast! I told you again and again to keep a low profile, but you had to make everyone suspicious of you! Now you’ve dragged me down too! If I don’t beat you to death today, I’m not your father!" Punches and kicks rained down on Han Mingliang, who squealed like a pig being slaughtered. This brought even more satisfaction to the crowd, as it also confirmed that this man, the chief examiner, was indeed Han Mingliang’s father. After beating his son, Han Liang pleaded with Lu Hongliang, "President Lu, I only did what a father should do. Please don’t fire me from Meisi, okay?" "There’s no way around it. I’m just acting on everyone’s wishes," Lu Hongliang said indifferently. "Are you really so heartless, President Lu?" Han Liang asked desperately. Han Mingliang struggled back to his feet, took two steps back, and suddenly declared, "If you insist on firing me, then I’ll expose a scandal too!" Upon hearing this, everyone pricked up their ears. There’s another scandal? Han Mingliang then pointed at Su Xuan, who was dozing off to the side. "He is the boss of Meisi! He is the biggest scandal of this interview!" The crowd turned their eyes toward Su Xuan. But their reaction left Han Mingliang dumbfounded.
