Chapter 120: Chapter 120: The Interview
To avoid affecting her interview performance, Xu Lin took a nap.
She woke up at noon, got dressed, and arrived early at Blue Ocean Tianrun.
As she looked up at the grand and luxurious office building, Xu Lin felt a surge of excitement.
This is what a modern workplace should be like!
Compared to Mei Tai, which felt rustic and outdated, she was embarrassed to tell anyone where she worked.
Taking a few deep breaths to calm herself, Xu Lin walked into a nearby McDonald's.
She ordered some fries and a coke, found a seat by the window, and began to contemplate how she would handle the interview.
Suddenly, she saw a familiar figure outside the window—it was Chen Wei!
Xu Lin was stunned. What was he doing here?
Interviewing?
Impossible. A big shot like him, earning millions a month, wouldn't be interviewing here!
Looking for someone?
Maybe.
Xu Lin didn't connect Chen Wei with Tianrun Investments at all. In her mind, Tianrun was a subsidiary of Jinshengda, and there was no way Chen Wei could be involved with Jinshengda.
Seeing Chen Wei here was just a surprise, nothing more. She quickly returned to focusing on her interview preparations.
When Chen Wei arrived at the office, Lian Yingying, Zheng Junpeng, Ma Hongrui, and Zhou Yi were already there.
"Why are you so late? We've been here for half a day!"
Lian Yingying greeted him with a smile.
Zheng Junpeng was sitting in a chair, eating a burger while reviewing resumes on his laptop. Ma Hongrui was chatting with Lian Yingying, and Zhou Yi was playing a game on another computer, also munching on a burger.
"You guys are early. The interviews don't start until two."
Chen Wei laughed, grabbed a burger from the bag next to Zhou Yi, who handed him a Coke.
Knowing everyone hadn't eaten, Zhou Yi had bought a bag of burgers, fried chicken, and Cokes.
"Chen, what's your plan? Are you really bringing Xu Lin in for an interview?"
Zheng Junpeng asked, puzzled.
He had just learned about Xu Lin's resume and was surprised that Chen Wei had scheduled an interview with her.
Chen Wei took a bite of his burger, took a sip of Coke, and sat down next to Zheng Junpeng, glancing at the resumes on the laptop.
They were new resumes received that morning.
"Xu Lin has some abilities. Despite our past conflicts, given her current situation with Luo Chen and Yuan Tong, she might be more inclined to join us if we handle it right. If not, it's still a chance to clear the air."
Chen Wei didn't elaborate further. Some things were better kept to himself.
"Chen, you're so magnanimous. That's the attitude of someone destined for great things, unlike these two."
Ma Hongrui complimented Chen Wei, but her words were directed at Zhou Yi and Zheng Junpeng.
Zheng Junpeng smiled wryly. He felt that Chen Wei had a deeper plan but didn't press for details.
"Stop flattering him. I think he's just charmed by her looks!"
Lian Yingying teased, causing her and Ma Hongrui to chat and laugh.
Chen Wei shook his head with a smile and casually asked Zheng Junpeng, "Any suitable candidates?"
Zheng Junpeng pondered for a moment. "This Zhao Fang and Wang Qian seem promising. The others are just so-so. But we need to meet them to know for sure."
"Let's schedule Zhao Fang and Ye Qingyun for this afternoon. Call the others to come tomorrow. We should finalize this quickly."
Chen Wei suggested.
Zheng Junpeng nodded and began calling the remaining candidates.
Chen Wei chatted with Ma Hongrui and Lian Yingying for a bit.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
Ma Hongrui quickly went to open it.
A woman asked, "Is this Tianrun Investments?"
"Yes, yes. Are you here for the interview? Please come in."
Ma Hongrui replied, leading a young woman inside.
Chen Wei recognized her as Zhao Fang.
"This is Mr. Chen."
Ma Hongrui introduced Chen Wei to Zhao Fang.
Zhao Fang respectfully greeted Chen Wei.
Feeling slightly uncomfortable being addressed so formally for the first time, Chen Wei quickly composed himself and smiled. "You must be Zhao Fang. Let's move to the meeting room. Zheng, join us."
Zheng Junpeng nodded and followed Chen Wei, leading Zhao Fang to the meeting room, with Zhou Yi tagging along.
Lian Yingying and Ma Hongrui stayed behind.
In the meeting room, the three of them sat down with Zhao Fang.
Without much experience in interviewing, Chen Wei finally said, "Please introduce yourself."
Zhao Fang began her self-introduction, clearly well-prepared.
She spoke concisely and confidently, displaying a sense of professionalism.
Chen Wei nodded in approval.
Zheng Junpeng gave Chen Wei an approving look as well.
After her introduction, Chen Wei asked a few questions, which Zhao Fang answered adeptly.
Chen Wei was nearly convinced but asked, "Do you have any questions about our company?"
"I'd like to know more about what Tianrun Investments specifically does."
Zhao Fang inquired.
"We primarily engage in intraday trading of US stocks, with plans to expand into other markets in the future."
Zheng Junpeng explained.
Zhao Fang nodded, seemingly understanding, then hesitated before asking, "What's the relationship between this company and Jinshengda?"
Chen Wei shook his head. "There's no relationship between Tianrun Investments and Jinshengda."
"Really? I thought it was a subsidiary of Jinshengda."
Zhao Fang seemed surprised.
"Who told you that?"
Chen Wei laughed.
"Isn't it? I thought it was a Jinshengda subsidiary! Oh!"
Zhao Fang looked disappointed.
Chen Wei sighed internally. He had been quite satisfied with Zhao Fang, but now it was clear she was only interested because she thought Tianrun was linked to Jinshengda.
