After hanging up the phone, Shen Yuxuan started getting ready. After confirming her appearance was fine, she thought back to what the headhunter had said and rummaged through her closet, only to realize she didn't have any formal wear.
Gritting her teeth, she grabbed her bag and went out to a shopping mall not far from the university to buy a formal suit. After trying it on in the mall's fitting room, she was extremely satisfied.
She paid the bill, checked the time, and found that she was running a bit late. She hailed a taxi and went directly to the Beijing Hotel.
"This time I've gone all out. If the interview fails, I won't even have money for food," Shen Yuxuan thought worriedly in the taxi. Her monthly living expenses were only 600 yuan. She had just spent 200 yuan buying a suit, and taking a taxi from the university to the Beijing Hotel would also cost a lot.
In the reception room of the presidential suite, Yang Qian'er had hired someone who could speak South Korean and Japanese through the headhunter to help with the interview, arranging everything very thoughtfully.
Lin Hao had already interviewed the first two candidates, and both were acceptable; he could choose either one.
"Lin Shao, the last interviewee hasn't arrived yet, and is already late. Do you think we should still wait?" Yang Qian'er looked at the time and said to Lin Hao.
"Since she's late, we won't wait. Let's choose the second interviewee," Lin Hao had just finished speaking when a commotion sounded at the door.
"Excuse me, I'm here for the interview."
Shen Yuxuan wanted to enter, but was stopped by the bodyguard at the door. She quickly explained, but the bodyguard wouldn't listen and just wouldn't let her in. She saw that she was already late and hadn't even been interviewed yet. If she were eliminated like this, wouldn't she have lost both her money and her time? Shen Yuxuan became anxious and started arguing with the bodyguard.
"What's going on at the door?" Hearing the noise, Lin Hao asked.
"It seems like the last interviewee has arrived. I'll go take a look," Yang Qian'er said to Lin Hao.
"Just tell her to leave. Someone who doesn't even have the most basic concept of time has an attitude problem," Lin Hao said coldly.
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Yang Qian'er walked out of the reception room and went to the door.
Yang Qian'er: "Are you Miss Shen?"
Shen Yuxuan: "Yes, I am Shen Yuxuan."
Shen Yuxuan saw Yang Qian'er, who seemed to be in charge, and quickly spoke up.
"Miss Shen, because you are late, the interview has already ended. So, I'm sorry."
"Could I please have another chance? I really, really want this opportunity. I was late because I needed to wear formal attire for the interview, and I didn't have any, so I went to buy a suit and that's why I was late."
"I'm sorry, Miss Shen, late is late."
Hearing Yang Qian'er say this, Shen Yuxuan was very disappointed, even feeling like crying, but she held back and turned to leave.
"Wait a moment."
The interview had ended, and Lin Hao walked out of the reception room. When he reached the living room, he glanced at the door and saw Shen Yuxuan. A scene flashed through his mind; he seemed to know her, but didn't know where he had seen her before. It was like the first time he saw Dong Mengxue, there was a feeling of familiarity, but recalling his memories, he indeed didn't know Shen Yuxuan; this was the first time he had seen her.
Seeing Shen Yuxuan turn away in disappointment, he couldn't help but speak.
Shen Yuxuan heard the voice and turned around, only to see a very tall and handsome young man standing in the living room looking at her.
Lin Hao walked to the door, "Since there's a reason, we should still give her a chance. We can't let someone come all this way for nothing."
Listening to Lin Hao's words, Yang Qian'er was wildly complaining internally, 'That's not what you said just now! Could it be that you're giving her a chance because she's pretty?'
Shen Yuxuan heard Lin Hao's words and almost cried tears of joy. It truly was a case of finding hope after despair.
"Thank you, thank you very much!" Shen Yuxuan bowed in gratitude.
In the reception room, Lin Hao held Shen Yuxuan's resume and looked at her, while Shen Yuxuan felt a little uneasy under Lin Hao's gaze.
Today, Shen Yuxuan had specially put on makeup for the interview and was wearing professional attire for the first time. Being looked at by Lin Hao at this moment, she felt like everything about her was wrong.
Looking at Shen Yuxuan, with her shoulder-length hair, bright and beautiful teeth, red lips and white teeth, fair skin, delicate features, well-defined face, and elegant demeanor like an orchid, wearing a white professional shirt and a red short skirt, Lin Hao was momentarily lost in thought.
"Miss Shen, you are still a freshman at Beijing University of Science and Technology?" Lin Hao came back to his senses and spoke.
"Yes, I'll be a sophomore when school starts," Shen Yuxuan quickly replied when she heard Lin Hao's words. Several companies had asked this question before, and she had been eliminated by all of them in the end.
"I see your major is Journalism. How do you know South Korean and Japanese?"
"Although my major is Journalism, I took South Korean and Japanese as electives, and I have no problem with oral communication," Shen Yuxuan said confidently. She was very talented in languages, not only in South Korean and Japanese, but also spoke English fluently, and planned to learn several other languages during her four years of university.
Hearing this, Lin Hao asked the person he had invited to help with the interview to test Shen Yuxuan's South Korean and Japanese.
Watching the two of them converse fluently, first in Korean and then in Japanese, Lin Hao made a decision in his heart. In fact, when he saw Shen Yuxuan, Lin Hao had already made a decision, but the process still had to be followed, as there were many other people watching in the room.
"Miss Shen, your interview has passed. Congratulations," Lin Hao stood up and extended his hand to Shen Yuxuan.
"Thank you, thank you. I will definitely work hard," Shen Yuxuan was a little overwhelmed. She had passed just like that, and she had thought it would be very difficult, and he hadn't asked much at all.
"Take Miss Shen to handle the visa and passport, using the company's business channel," Lin Hao said to Yang Qian'er beside him.
"Okay, Lin Shao."
"Miss Shen, please come this way."
Shen Yuxuan was still immersed in the immense joy of passing the interview and only came back to her senses when she heard Yang Qian'er's words.
"Okay."
Shen Yuxuan followed Yang Qian'er out. Even now, she wasn't quite sure who Lin Hao was or what his name was, only that the Miss Yang in front of her called him Lin Shao. When she walked out of the room and reached the door, she looked at the bodyguard at the door again, becoming even more curious about Lin Hao.
She wanted to ask Yang Qian'er, but she had just successfully interviewed, and asking now might not be good, so in the end, she didn't ask and followed Yang Qian'er to handle the procedures.
In the evening, Lin Hao hosted a dinner in a private room at the Beijing Hotel. Including Shen Yuxuan, there were exactly 10 people.
"This trip abroad will be a lot of trouble for everyone. I'd like to propose a toast to all of you," Lin Hao raised his glass and said to everyone.
"Lin Shao, you are too kind," Seeing Lin Hao stand up, everyone also picked up their glasses and stood up to say.
Shen Yuxuan saw others stand up and also followed suit, raising her wine glass.
"Cheers."
After everyone had a drink together, Lin Hao didn't want the atmosphere to be so dull and took the initiative to chat about other topics. Before long, the atmosphere became lively, and since everyone was relatively young, they easily talked about topics they were interested in.
