"Manager Wu, I know you don’t want to face the reality. But when your mother spoke to before, soone happened to record the whole conversation. How about I play it for you to hear what your mother said?"
Wa Zicong sharply turned his head back, his penetrating gaze sweeping across her face.
Gu Nuan said amicably, "Doesn’t Manager Wu want to hear his own mother’s wise words?"
She had managed to record what his mother had said, and sohow, it seed very subtle.
"Nuannuan—" His breath was sowhat hurried.
"She has finished the call," Gu Nuan said, just as Director Cai ca back after finishing the call.
Director Cai looked at the two of them, then, his gaze settled on Wa Zicong.
Wa Zicong coughed lightly and said, "It was— an old classmate. So, I hope Director Cai can consider my personal face—"
Cunning. There was nothing more deceitful than these words.
Gu Nuan was about to speak when Director Cai suddenly said, "Since Manager Wu has put it that way, I don’t know how to refuse. Here’s the thing, Chairman Chen is also here, and he asked Manager Wu to co up for a cup of tea before leaving. Didn’t Manager Wu just reach a preliminary cooperation agreent with our project team?"
"Chairman Chen, is it?" Wa Zicong’s mont of hesitation dissolved instantly, and he said with a lift in his tone, "I haven’t spoken to Chairman Chen since our last eting; it’s been a while. Thank you, Director Cai."
"You’re welco," Director Cai said, before calling soone over, "Xiaochang, take Manager Wu to Chairman Chen’s office."
Gu Nuan’s mind quickly tried to understand the mystery happening here.
Before leaving, Wa Zicong looked back at her again and said, "Old classmate, just give a shout if you need help, I won’t refuse."
Director Cai imdiately laughed, "Manager Wu is really sentintal and well-regarded. I heard that he was very popular in school, and even more so outside."
"Director Cai’s words make feel humble, it’s just a small effort, anyone would help," Wa Zicong shook hands with Director Cai once more, then turned and walked out of the conference room.
There was no one else in the room, and Gu Nuan felt the woman in front of her finally turned her head to look at her.
"Do you know Jas?"
"Yes."
"Why didn’t you ntion this before?" Director Cai’s tone obviously carried a bit of an accusatory edge. If Gu Nuan had ntioned it earlier, she wouldn’t have been so embarrassed just now. Gu Nuan had reasons to take this responsibility.
If she played that card, of course she had to think beforehand and consider all the aftermath. Regarding this, Gu Nuan was already prepared on how to answer her, "If he said he wanted , if you asked, would he admit it?"
Exactly. Before, they wanted Gu Nuan to confirm this fact, so she couldn’t possibly have soone from MN Company vouch for her, they definitely wouldn’t make that affirmation, which would lead to the talent being directly poached by Changda. Wasn’t that an obvious rationale?
Director Cai drew a cold breath and her gaze at Gu Nuan started to change a bit.
She said, "Chairman Chen said, let’s have you and the other qualified candidates report to Changda next Monday."
Gu Nuan imdiately responded, "Thank you, Sister Cai."
Sister Cai, two words, understood by clever people, quickly grasped the underlying aning.
Soon, Director Cai laughed heartily, her laughter sounding much more relaxed than her previous aggressive deanor. Her hand naturally landed on Gu Nuan’s shoulder, saying, "I know you can’t hear, but that’s okay, you can see it in my eyes—congratulations on joining Changda."
Gu Nuan nodded at her bespectacled face.
This woman, no matter what, was soone who had climbed to a high managerial position at Changda. Perhaps at first, due to underestimating the newcor, she might have looked down on Gu Nuan, but ultimately, as a capable woman, how could she continue making such foolish mistakes?
By addressing her as Sister Cai, she first gave her counterpart a way out, and naturally, the counterpart would give Gu Nuan a suitable response. After all, a newcor cannot disrespect their seniors, especially when trying to secure a firm foothold in the company without the support of seniors, how could it be possible?
In short, they were both astute won.
After parting with Director Cai, Gu Nuan didn’t care about where her ex-boyfriend had gone. All she knew was that Changda believed her words more than not, otherwise they wouldn’t have let her join.
The joy of being able to work for a big company was beyond words.
Since the interview results were announced on the spot, all the candidates were actually waiting in a common hall.
When Gu Nuan walked into the hall, she noticed everyone turned to look at her. Obviously, because her interview lasted unusually longer than any other candidate’s.
People started gossiping about her being deaf.
"I heard she can’t hear—"
"A deaf person ca for an interview?"
"Don’t you know the governnt encourages companies to offer special recruitnt favor for disabled individuals?"
Indeed, everyone thought that Gu Nuan was benefiting from being deaf.
Especially when the acceptance notice was posted and everyone crowded to see, indeed Gu Nuan’s na was there.
Gu Nuan was accepted, but Qin Sinan and Su Yixia were both rejected. The two of them, having been rejected, had actually sensed it coming.
Their performance wasn’t really remarkable, inherently lacking many compelling advantages to convince the examiners. Among a bunch of candidates from famous schools, being rejected was a natural outco.
However, they hadn’t expected that Gu Nuan would be accepted.
Qin Sinan sat on a bench, weeping softly against her boyfriend Xu Zhilin’s shoulder. Xu Zhilin had been accepted, but she was rejected. The two of them, thus, couldn’t be together.
Su Yixia sighed heavily and said to Gu Nuan, "Let’s go, I’ll find a barbecue place to celebrate for you."
How could Gu Nuan celebrate with her as if they both had succeeded?
Of course, the two of them could not linger here any longer, they both had to leave. Gu Nuan quietly thought about how to find another path for Su Yixia. There are definitely other companies recruiting, but they couldn’t all be large groups like Changda.
Su Yixia’s face couldn’t help but show disappointnt. She had thought that compared to Gu Nuan, she had advantages—being presentable and beautiful. But Changda didn’t care, they wanted Gu Nuan instead.
"You’ve been to MN before, and MN wanted you, right?" Ultimately, it was Su Yixia, with her clear understanding, quickly found an explanation for herself.
Perhaps the people nearby had just caught her words, so people, including Xu Zhilin, asked Qin Sinan: "Was she recruited by MN?"
