488: What have we done wrong?

After about ten minutes in the observation room, it meant that these people had been waiting in the waiting area for a full ten minutes.

"Why hasn't it started yet?"

"Exactly, didn't they say it would start promptly at ten AM?"

"If I had known it wouldn't start at ten, I would have eaten breakfast at the noodle shop downstairs."

"I took two bites too, then threw it away."

A few people began to discuss.

Just as they were about to complain further, a rich second-generation heir in an expensive suit stopped them.

Although a few of them were displeased, seeing his refined attire, they still silently rolled their eyes and gave up.

"Except for the last person who spoke, all the others are to be eliminated," Qin Feixu continued.

Ten minutes later, Qin Feixu screened out several more people.

When the time was almost up, she slowly walked out of the observation room and headed towards the reception lounge.

Accompanying her was the staff member who had been taking notes at her side earlier.

Click, click, click!

The ten-centimeter heels on Qin Feixu's feet tapped on the gleaming tiles, a rhythmic sound like wind chimes.

Everyone looked up towards the doorway.

Qin Feixu, dressed in a white suit, walked into view.

Her aura was so outstanding that no one even noticed the assistant behind her.

"Before the interview officially begins, I'd like to make an announcement."

The assistant spoke at the opportune moment, breaking the silence in the hall.

"Those whose names I call next will be disqualified from this interview!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire room immediately fell silent.

They had thought the interview was just a formality, but who could have expected that before even entering the door, Ouyou World Company had already begun to eliminate people on the spot!

And they had to endure it!

After the list was read, the assistant added, "For those whose names I just called, please leave the company as soon as possible."

The group of people whose names were called were stunned on the spot.

They had just boasted to their friends and family about being shortlisted for the interview, and now they were being directly sent away without even seeing the official interviewer; their emotions were naturally difficult to balance.

"Why?"

"What did we do wrong?"

"If you weren't going to let us participate in the interview, why did you have us come to report? Isn't this just playing games with people?"

"Is this how Ouyou World recruits? Is there any point for you all to stay here?"

These people were originally impatient, and after learning they were disqualified, they actually began to incite others to boycott the interview.

Since we can't be interviewed anyway, let's just make sure no one else gets interviewed!

Qin Feixu had long seen through their little tricks.

Applicants who throw a tantrum without even understanding why they were rejected, who would just walk out if they encountered problems at work in the future—how could such people meet Aoyou Company's hiring standards!

Among the dozen people, a rich second-generation heir's face turned ashen upon hearing his disqualification, feeling particularly humiliated.

He stopped arguing and led the way out of the waiting room.

The other interviewees, seeing him leave, looked at each other and also got up and left one after another.

After more than ten people left, the once crowded waiting room suddenly became much quieter.

Seats emptied one by one, and the remaining people on site involuntarily grew nervous.

It hadn't been long since the official start, and a large number of people had already been eliminated; the requirements were surprisingly strict! It was estimated that after this round, perhaps fewer than ten would remain!

Will there be a new batch of interviewees coming next?

All sorts of speculations began to surface in everyone's minds.

But no matter what they thought, Qin Feixu never explained anything from beginning to end.

This cold and aloof goddess, Qin Feixu, who commanded respect, had already become synonymous with "Iceberg CEO" in the mouths of these job seekers!

"Number 1, you may enter."

After saying this, Qin Feixu walked towards the office without looking back.

The recipient of the number one token was a recently graduated girl, barely in her early twenties.

Upon hearing her name called, the girl was visibly nervous.

"Hoo—"

She took a gentle breath, silently encouraged herself, and only after making an effort to calm down did she stand up and walk towards the office.

Three minutes of interview time per person, for over eighty people, added up to nearly four hours or more.

Of course, some were cut short due to poor performance, while others completed the entire process in just one minute due to outstanding performance.

Various interviews followed one after another, with almost no pause.

While Qin Feixu was focused on scoring candidates, Xu Lian and Lin Xiaoxiao arrived at the Alpha Hotel.

As the car stopped, Lin Xiaoxiao unconsciously bit her lip.

This Alpha was a famous six-star hotel in F City, located in the city's golden circle, with a subway entrance and bus stop right at its doorstep, surrounded by all kinds of snack bars and restaurants, and a large urban park behind it as a Supporting facilities. Its geographical location could be said to be incredibly superior.

It was estimated to cover no less than two thousand square meters, and from its exterior, it looked like a castle or palace, inspiring awe even before one stepped inside.

It must be very expensive to stay here!

Lin Xiaoxiao muttered to herself.

How much would this cost? She would have to work for several months just to afford one night's stay!

Even if she became a big boss in the future, she might not consider staying in a hotel of this caliber, let alone now, as a new executive!

And to be honest, the salary she earned last month when she first started had not even arrived yet!

Strictly speaking, the small amount of savings Lin Xiaoxiao had in her pocket were all accumulated bit by bit from her past work as a grassroots employee!

Working hard every month, she could only save two to three thousand yuan, so how could she accept a room starting at one thousand yuan a night?

That would be burning through an entire month's savings in one night!

Just thinking about it made her heart ache terribly!

Xu Lian walked a few steps forward before realizing no one was following him, and he couldn't help but turn around to look at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was still standing in place.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Lin Xiaoxiao's expression constantly changing, he asked proactively.

"Um... I..."

Lin Xiaoxiao was speechless for a moment.

She couldn't just blurt out that it was too expensive, wouldn't that be slapping him in the face?

Besides, he was the one who brought her here, and her suddenly saying she wouldn't stay here seemed a bit unreasonable.

After much hesitation, a sudden flash of inspiration gave her an idea!

"Ahem! I just remembered, I actually booked a hotel next door before I came!"

As she said this, she deliberately pretended to cough to cover her inner nervousness and guilt.

Xu Lian raised an eyebrow after hearing her.

But he remembered there were no similar facilities next door.

The nearest hotel would require at least a five-kilometer taxi ride to find.

Moreover, Alpha was only a ten-minute walk from her class location, making transportation incredibly convenient.

If she stayed that far away, not only would the training efficiency be affected, but daily commuting to and from class would also be much more troublesome.

For Lin Xiaoxiao's upcoming important study period, Xu Lian hoped she could avoid unnecessary hassles as much as possible.

He wanted to prepare every detail that could help her in advance.

Seeing that Xu Lian did not leave immediately, Lin Xiaoxiao became even more flustered!
