"Amazing. I knew it, my sister actually has a lot of strength."
Hearing her precious son say this, the mother finally felt a little happier.
"The Zhan Group is that powerful? Then you must seize this opportunity well and stay to work hard. Did they say? How much is the salary? Since the company is so good, the benefits must not be bad, right?"
Tong An'an belatedly realized that they hadn't mentioned the salary and benefits, and she had forgotten to ask.
But as her mother said, if the Zhan Group was so good, how could the salary and benefits be bad?
Her brother answered for her first.
"Don't get happy too soon. Big companies have long internships and many assessment standards. Getting in for an internship doesn't mean you'll be made permanent. Besides, intern salaries are generally low. Don't put too much pressure on her."
Tong An'an thanked her brother profusely, went to pack her luggage, stayed at home for the last night, and the next day went to Nancheng to find a place to live in preparation for her new job.
Finding a place wasn't difficult. Tong An'an had a good classmate who started her own business and rented a place outside. She could just drag her luggage to share the rent with her.
On Monday, she arrived at the Zhan Group on time and signed contracts with several other lucky individuals.
In front of them was a thick stack of contracts, estimated to be thirty to forty pages.
Everyone was quiet, each person carefully reading the contract terms. Only she flipped directly to the last page and signed without hesitation.
As long as the Zhan Group didn't give up on her, she would absolutely not give up on the Zhan Group. It was already great to get in, what else could she be picky about?
Since others were signing slowly, the whole process took over half an hour.
Only she finished in less than half a minute and sat upright, waiting, which attracted the attention of the HR manager.
She couldn't help but smile inwardly, this child had quite high loyalty to the company.
Because they couldn't figure out the areas of expertise of the new recruits, they hadn't yet assigned specific responsibilities for domestic or international marketing.
The six people were divided into two groups for rotation in domestic and international marketing.
After one month, their superiors and colleagues would evaluate them to determine where they were best suited.
Tong An'an was assigned to international marketing, and the senior employee she was paired with was named Anna.
Anna was a native of Nancheng, with a confident and spirited personality, and was very easy to talk to.
Tong An'an looked honest and humble, which aroused Anna's protective instincts, and she pulled her over.
"Girl, we mostly deal with foreigners, so we need to have foreign names. Have you thought of one?"
Tong An'an's mind instantly recalled a foreign film, "Atonement," and the beautiful Keira Knightley.
She blurted out, "Celia."
"Not bad. Where are you from? Where do you live now?"
Tong An'an told her her address, and she exclaimed.
"So far away? Well, on your first day, don't be too nervous. I'll take you on a tour."
Tong An'an followed Anna around, and the Zhan Group was even more luxurious than she had imagined.
The office environment of the international marketing department was very artistic, with the office area set up like a high-end coffee shop.
Not only were there a reading area, a lounge area, a gym, and a pantry, but there was also hand-ground coffee.
No wonder everyone was trying so hard to get in here. This high-end office environment alone was something many companies could only dream of.
Tong An'an was already very satisfied with this job, and now she was even more so.
Seeing her satisfied expression, Anna dampened her spirits.
"We say our working hours are flexible, but in reality, it means we're dead bored when it's slow and swamped when it's busy. We might have to come back for impromptu overtime at any time, working overtime on holidays, and business trips are all common."
"Do you have a boyfriend? Prepare yourself in advance, don't end up fighting over this."
Tong An'an quickly said that she didn't have a boyfriend and could completely accept this work system.
Anna patted her shoulder: "I'm not your boss, you don't need to be so reserved with me. Say whatever you want."
"Why are you so honest? How old are you this year?"
"25."
"You're already 25? I thought you were at most twenty-one or twenty-two. I won't assign you anything else on the first day, just relax. The crying days are ahead."
With no specific tasks, Tong An'an, under Anna's guidance, went to the engineering department to get a computer, assembled it, tidied her desk, and then read company materials to pass the time.
Time flew by until the afternoon. Because of a problem with the details of a foreign company contract, Zhang Yang came to the international marketing department and saw Tong An'an looking very serious.
After all, they had only met once, and Jiang Jingyu disliked nepotism. Although he had a good impression of Tong An'an and was happy to see her join the Zhan Group, he didn't dare to greet her.
What if she was not as she seemed and later used this connection to climb up? That would be troublesome.
However, he couldn't suppress his good feelings and couldn't help but share with Jiang Jingyu when he returned to the CEO's office.
"Mr. Jiang, do you remember the restaurant waitress from Shuangqiao Town? The one who cursed at you so fiercely."
Isn't that Tong An'an? Jiang Jingyu certainly remembered.
Knowing that Zhang Yang had good news to share with him, he suppressed his emotions.
"Just say what you have to say."
"She's in the international marketing department! She got selected! I just ran into her when I was looking for documents!"
Zhang Yang seemed very happy, and for some reason, he felt a sense of vindication for her.
His mother probably wouldn't have anything to say now.
To be honest, Jiang Jingyu also felt the same way.
Apart from her resembling Lu Jiaying, perhaps he also wanted her to gain respect in front of her mother, which was why he had helped a little during the interview.
However, Zhang Yang never brought up gossip in front of him normally. Recently, he seemed very interested in this Tong An'an.
"Why do you care so much about her? Do you like her?"
Zhang Yang actually didn't deny it, smiling shyly and scratching his head.
"She just joined the company, and I didn't even say hello to her. She probably already forgot me."
Jiang Jingyu said nothing and waved him out.
Soon, Jiang Jingyu called Zhang Yang back in.
There was a value he remembered differently, so he asked him to confirm again if there had been any international changes in the past two years.
Although it was a matter that could be resolved with a phone call, Zhang Yang happily thought, "I can go to the international marketing department again!"
He took the documents and went down under the guise of official business, found Anna, first resolved the issue with the value, and then asked her.
"Has your department's welcome party been decided? Where is it? Is it happening tonight?"
Three highly educated girls had been assigned to the team, all of whom were very attractive and had amazing figures. Could it be that Assistant Zhang had taken a liking to someone?
Anna smiled at him, "What? You've got your eye on someone from our department? Want me to pull some strings for you?"
"It's rare that I'm relatively free lately, you know I don't have many friends, I just love hanging out with you."
"A man's mouth is a lying ghost."
"Oh, Sister Anna~"
"Alright, alright, I get it. It hasn't been decided yet. I'm still looking at restaurants. You go back first, and I'll send you a message when I've booked it."
