Chapter 62: It was her?

Zheng Qian and Manager Li Tao looked at each other; neither of them had expected that Qin Xueli would come to interview for Zhengxin Shipyard.

"Manager Li, did you know beforehand that this person would be coming to the interview?"

"No, I didn't. She didn't tell me she was coming."

Xia Xixi was a bit confused about what the two of them were talking about.

"President Zheng, Manager Li, Qin Xueli graduated from a 211 university and has relevant work experience. She meets the standards for our interview session. Is there a problem?"

"No problem, call her in," Manager Li Tao said to Xia Xixi. "She came here based on her own merits; we have no reason to refuse her."

Xia Xixi didn't know that Qin Xueli used to be Manager Li Tao's subordinate and was also a colleague of Zheng Qian at their previous company, where their desks were right next to each other.

Qin Xueli was dressed quite elegantly today. Her hair was tied up according to the rules, and she was wearing a professional OL outfit. Compared to her usual disheveled hair and trendy, fashionable attire, she had changed quite a bit.

"Ms. Qin, this is Manager Peng from our Human Resources Department. If you succeed in your interview today, you can go directly to him to process your internship paperwork."

"Manager Peng, h-hello." Qin Xueli was extremely surprised when she saw Zheng Qian and Manager Li Tao.

After making inquiries everywhere, she finally learned that Manager Li Tao had taken Zheng Qian and jumped ship to a maritime transport company called Zhengxin Shipyard.

She had come to the interview today specifically for Zheng Qian.

As a senior in the industry, it was normal for Manager Li Tao to get a promotion and a raise after changing jobs. Before coming, she already knew that Manager Li Tao was the manager of the business department at Zhengxin Shipyard.

But she hadn't expected that Zheng Qian would actually be one of the interviewers today, and he was even sitting in the main seat.

It looked like his position was even higher than Manager Li Tao's!

What was going on?

Zheng Qian had always been Manager Li Tao's trusted subordinate. When the big brother rises to success, the little brother naturally benefits as well.

But to be an interviewer as well was a bit too exaggerated.

"Ms. Qin, this is our company's General Manager of the Business Department, Manager Li Tao."

"Hello, Manager Li Tao."

"And finally, this is our company's Vice President, Zheng Qian."

Vice President??!!!

Qin Xueli's eyes widened. How could Zheng Qian's position be higher than Manager Li Tao's?!

This didn't make any sense!

"Pr-President Zheng, hello."

"Xueli, don't be nervous. We're all old colleagues. You did a good job when you were under me before, and I recognize your abilities. Don't worry that I'll reject you because of that."

Manager Li Tao's words had a hidden meaning.

In other words, Manager Li Tao meant that since they all knew each other's history, there was no need to play any tricks.

The rules of the interview session weren't for hiring for a single specific position; they could choose from these eight people for Manager Li Tao's secretary or Zheng Qian's Public Relations Department.

If chosen by Manager Li Tao, one could learn a lot of experience under the guidance of this senior, and the salary wouldn't be low either.

If chosen by Zheng Qian, one could enter Zheng Qian's Public Relations Department and be led directly by the company's Vice President. One's status in the company would only go up, and promotions and raises would be just a word from Zheng Qian. The main thing was that the Public Relations Department had less work, though the salary would be slightly lower than that of Manager Li Tao's assistant.

Regardless, whoever one was chosen by, it was a good thing; after deductions for social security and housing fund, there was still a salary of ten thousand yuan.

Zhengxin was an emerging maritime transport company with fixed assets, so it wouldn't go bankrupt for the next eight or ten years. Moreover, this company had many opportunities. Entering Zhengxin was undoubtedly like stepping one foot into the middle class.

But Manager Li Tao's implication just now was: You can't get into my department, so ask President Zheng if he's willing to take you.

Manager Li Tao recognized Qin Xueli's ability, but he also knew that Qin Xueli was a typical serial heartbreaker.

He needed an assistant who could devote themselves wholeheartedly to work, regardless of gender, but a serial heartbreaker was out of the question.

The position of an assistant had no set hours; as long as you were needed, it was work time.

And a heartbreaker had to spend a lot of time feeding and raising their 'fish.' Perhaps Qin Xueli was a master of time management, but in the long run, it would definitely interfere with work on several occasions.

To avoid such work errors, Manager Li Tao rejected Qin Xueli in advance.

The two positions available today, Business Director and Manager Li Tao's assistant, had a value far higher than Zheng Qian's Public Relations Department.

Xia Xixi frowned slightly. If Manager Li Tao hadn't brought it up himself, she really wouldn't have known that Qin Xueli was originally his subordinate.

Zheng Qian also seemed to be a colleague of Manager Li Tao, so he should also have some kind of relationship with Qin Xueli.

Regardless of the reason why Manager Li Tao rejected Qin Xueli, his approach was very wise.

Manager Li Tao was personally headhunted by the company's CEO, Chen Weiqiang, and parachuted in as the Business Director and Department Manager.

With this relationship between Qin Xueli and him, Manager Li Tao probably didn't want to give anyone ammunition to use against him, or let someone catch him in a scandal and run to Chen Weiqiang to complain that Manager Li Tao was abusing his power by giving special treatment to people from his former company.

In fact, Manager Li Tao did have this consideration.

He rejected Qin Xueli, so she only had Zheng Qian as an option left.

Qin Xueli's ability was very strong, but it was her personal romantic life that made Zheng Qian somewhat disgusted.

"I only have one question."

"Please go ahead, President Zheng."

"Why do you want to change jobs?"

This was a question that many interviewers would ask.

For Zheng Qian, he needed to know.

Qin Xueli certainly couldn't say, "I came here specifically for you. Last time you left me alone at the hotel without even checking on me," as she felt extremely insulted.

This insult ignited a desire for conquest in Qin Xueli's heart.

You have to know, she used to be a serial heartbreaker, with so many simps lining up to chase after her.

How come it didn't work when it came to Zheng Qian?

Was she not even better than some bar or nightclub girl?

The desire for conquest, combined with her competitive spirit, drove Qin Xueli to attend the Zhengxin Shipyard interview session today.

Qin Xueli couldn't possibly say her true thoughts. After a little thought, she blurted out: "The work atmosphere at my previous company was quite low, and I am a girl who is not content with the status quo. I have things I want to pursue. Zhengxin Shipyard, as an emerging startup company, is the place where I belong. I believe Zhengxin also needs me to join."

These words made all four of them brighten up.

That poised and confident demeanor, and her psychological resilience in not being intimidated, made Qin Xueli stand out immediately from the previous seven interviewees.

Just based on this self-confidence, it already determined that Qin Xueli's subsequent performance in the company would definitely be superior to others.

She also truly amazed Manager Li Tao.

He believed that even if he signed Qin Xueli, no one would say anything, nor would anyone use her as ammunition against him.

If what Qin Xueli said was true, then the position of Manager Li Tao's assistant was more suitable for her.

As long as she maintained this ambition, Manager Li Tao would guide Qin Xueli without reservation.

But before Manager Li Tao could change his mind, Zheng Qian had already stood up:

Whether she wanted to hit on Zheng Qian or was truly not content with the status quo and wanted to improve herself, Zheng Qian had no reason to refuse such an excellent employee.

"Welcome to my team."
