Chapter 57: Interview - I want to spend 1 billion, how would you arrange it?

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as Cheng Jiao got off the high-speed train, she dragged her suitcase straight to Bamboo Forest Residence.

"Ms. Cheng, I'm sorry, but the boss is taking a nap upstairs. You'll need to wait a while." It was Qu Shu who opened the door to greet her.

Cheng Jiao left her suitcase outside the courtyard and followed Qu Shu into the living room.

She stood there with a smile, her eyes not wandering around.

Qu Shu prepared some tea for her. Not wanting to leave her standing, she invited her to sit down. Qu Shu sat nearby as well, chatting with her idly.

Ling Yue usually napped for half an hour.

About twenty minutes later, a 'ding' sounded from the elevator lobby.

Ling Yue was yawning, preparing to go to the kitchen to get some water.

Passing through the living room, she saw a strange woman standing next to Qu Shu and didn't immediately realize who she was.

Seeing that her boss was still groggy from sleep, Qu Shu reminded her, "Boss, this Ms. Cheng is here to interview for the housekeeper position."

Ling Yue was indeed still not fully awake, her eyes slightly unfocused.

In Cheng Jiao's eyes, the girl before her looked like a cute little otter while sleepy, with dark, bright eyes, her rosy mouth slightly pouting in a daze, looking entirely innocent. Especially when she stared directly at you with unfocused eyes, she was simply adorable!

Cheng Jiao had met countless people, and the moment she saw Ling Yue, she felt she would be easy to get along with.

"Hello, Ms. Ling, I am Cheng Jiao." She bowed slightly at a 30-degree angle and greeted her with a smile.

Ling Yue finally came to her senses.

She led Cheng Jiao to the tea room.

After drinking a cup of warm water, her muddled brain finally cleared up.

Cheng Jiao sat upright opposite Ling Yue, presenting herself confidently, looking as if she were waiting to be questioned.

So, Ling Yue began the questioning.

"Looking at your resume, Ms. Cheng, your previous work environment was excellent. Why did you return to the country, and why do you want to jump ship to work for me?"

Cheng Jiao met Ling Yue's scrutinizing gaze with a calm expression. "My family is middle-class. My parents exhausted all their efforts to send me abroad for my studies. After graduation, I stayed in the UK for work. To be honest, the pressure was immense, but the salary was indeed several times that of my peers in China."

"At the time, I had more savings than 98% of my peers, but no amount of money could bring back my father's life."

"The tree desires stillness, but the wind will not cease; the child wishes to care for his parents, but they are gone. I didn't want the same thing to happen again, so I resolutely returned to China."

"Shanghai is indeed a great city with good career prospects, but after staying in a household with strict rules and rigid hierarchies for too long, one becomes dull and utilitarian."

"I want to live more brilliantly and vividly. When I learned you were a young woman without a complicated family background, I seized this opportunity immediately."

"I hope Ms. Ling will consider me!"

This heartfelt statement did indeed move Ling Yue.

But it wasn't enough to make her make an exception; she still needed to understand more deeply. "Then why didn't you return to Xinjiang, but instead came to Hangzhou to work?"

"Based on what you said, you should have preferred returning to your hometown."

Cheng Jiao smiled. "My mother's health is better suited for recuperation in Hangzhou; she has already been living here for three years."

"I have been commuting between Hangzhou and Shanghai all this time."

Ling Yue understood.

"What is the benefit to me in choosing you?"

Finally, she got to experience the joy of being an interviewer.

Cheng Jiao thought for a moment and said solemnly, "My rich work experience gives me great confidence that I am qualified for this housekeeper position."

"I will solve most of the problems you encounter in daily life and complete any work you assign with high efficiency."

"I can act as your personal assistant and also serve as an interpreter when needed, as I have knowledge of and exposure to the cultures and brands of various countries."

"I possess private connections, and if you wish to socialize in higher circles, I have the ability to provide support."

Sincere when necessary.

Showing off when necessary.

This indirectly showed that Cheng Jiao was extremely tactful.

Then it came to the question Ling Yue cared about most. "If I wanted to spend 1 billion right now, how would you arrange it?"

Cheng Jiao had seen too many scenes of wealthy people throwing money around.

Spending a fortune overnight was just a game played casually by the rich.

She pondered for a moment and said, "If you want to experience the joy of shopping, I will contact a private helicopter factory to build an exclusive helicopter for you."

"If you want to experience a life of debauchery and luxury, I will take you to the world's top ultra-luxurious private clubs, book the entire building, let you sit on a throne made of pure gold and diamonds that can be raised and lowered, and enjoy the worship of everyone in the building that night. Afterward, you could take a helicopter from the roof and scatter money while circling over the city."

"If you want to help others, I will contact domestic charity organizations to create a charity project named after you, and I will follow the project's progress throughout to ensure every cent you spend reaches the people who need to be helped."

Must say.

Every 'if' Cheng Jiao hypothesized was something Ling Yue wanted to do.

She steadied her inner excitement and continued to ask Cheng Jiao about work arrangements, testing her ability in eight languages.

Throughout the process, Cheng Jiao was well-mannered and articulate, with an independent personality and a strong sense of self. Precisely because of this, she appeared more authentic.

Moreover, during the interview, every word she said subtly revealed the little thought of 'Pick me, pick me, pick me!'

This made Ling Yue think that working with her wouldn't be boring.

"How many years of contract did you sign with Manager Tao Yu?"

Ling Yue asked this question hoping for a stable working relationship; she didn't want to change housekeepers every year.

Cheng Jiao said, "Five years. We signed for five years."

"Then you can stay. I am officially hiring you." Ling Yue leaned forward and extended her hand toward Cheng Jiao.

Soft palms clasped together, a gesture of affirmation and anticipation.

A bright smile appeared on Cheng Jiao's deep features. "Thank you for your trust, Ms. Ling! I will certainly not let you regret your choice today!"

"Prove it to me with your actions." Ling Yue let go of her hand and asked with a smile, "When can you start?"

Cheng Jiao clasped her hands in front of her, already entering her role. "Please give me three days to settle in; I need to go home to handle some trivial matters."

"OK." Ling Yue called Qu Shu in and introduced her to Cheng Jiao. "Her name is Qu Shu, my personal nutritionist. She has three other partners; you can meet them when you return."

Subsequently, she introduced her to Qu Shu. "You should know her name by now. From now on, she will join us and become my personal housekeeper, and you will all be under her management."

"Understood!" Qu Shu and Cheng Jiao smiled at each other.

Deep dimples appeared on her cheeks, showing that Qu Shu was genuinely happy.

Finally, a leader had arrived, and she would no longer have to blindly busy herself every day, not knowing what to do.

She was better suited for work with clear instructions.

Under Ling Yue's arrangement, Qu Shu first took Cheng Jiao to register her face for the main gate's facial recognition, and then went to the property management office to register her identity.

When they returned, Qu Shu also brought along a group of people.
