These people all had expressions of excitement on their faces, clearly thrilled about this job interview. Looking at these young faces, Liu Hun shook his head and couldn’t help but sigh, “In this world, nothing is fair. Whether you can stay or not depends on your luck.”
Han Bing’er came downstairs, glanced at the many classmates in the room, hesitated for a moment, and then instructed the chefs in the kitchen, “Please prepare some food.”
“Han, what’s the result? Did Director Liu say anything?” The classmates who came for the interview weren’t thinking about meals. Seeing Han Bing’er come down so quickly, they couldn’t help but anxiously ask her.
“Um…my sister…cough, cough, Director Liu only kept thirty people, and the rest…” Han Bing’er said to them awkwardly. Hearing this, the group paused slightly, all wondering if they were among those who were cut.
“Alright, everyone, let’s finish eating first and then talk. After all, it’s quite late now, and you’ve all come a long way; having a meal is the least you should do.” Seeing some were disheartened and some excited, Han Bing’er smiled slightly and spoke slowly.
“Han, why don’t you announce the list first? It would ease our minds a bit, and we can talk about eating later, since no one is really hungry,” one anxious female classmate asked Han Bing’er.
Following the female classmate’s words, the others also looked at Han Bing’er with anticipation.
Seeing everyone’s eager expressions, Han Bing’er hesitated for a moment before nodding and taking out the thirty resumes Liu Hun had previously selected, announcing some names.
After Han Bing’er finished announcing the names, some were excited, some were frustrated, and the girl who spoke earlier frowned slightly and instinctively asked Han Bing’er, “Han Bing’er, there are so many resumes. It’s unlikely Director Liu could have reviewed them all in such a short time. I admit we’ve had some disagreements in the past, but if you want to use this opportunity to target me, just say it outright. I can’t say anything if you have such a great brother-in-law.”
Hearing the girl’s words, Han Bing’er frowned, and as her words fell, the other classmates who were cut also looked at Han Bing’er, filled with doubt.
With so many resumes, Liu Hun certainly couldn’t review them so quickly, and Han Bing’er, being a classmate from their school, would naturally know them better. It was hard for them to believe she hadn’t made the selections herself.
“These resumes were indeed personally selected by Director Liu. It’s up to you to believe it or not, but if you don’t believe it, just pretend I said nothing. And this meal was also arranged by Director Liu for you all, so if you don’t want to eat, you can leave now.” Han Bing’er furrowed her brows tightly, clearly somewhat displeased.
These people blamed her entirely for being cut, which was somewhat frustrating.
“Since I’ve been cut, there’s no point in staying here. Han, I’ll take my leave first.” One male classmate smiled slightly at Han Bing’er and nodded.
With the first person leaving, a second soon followed, and soon nearly a third of the crowd had left. The remaining ones, even those who were cut, thought since they were already here, they might as well enjoy a free meal even if they were rejected.
When the food was served, those who didn’t make it started eating voraciously.
Halfway through the meal, a few classmates asked Han Bing’er, “Han, I’ve never dined at your Tianhe Restaurant before. Today was quite an experience. Even though I got cut, I want to apply for an ordinary membership card, so could you see if…”
Once this classmate finished speaking, Han Bing’er immediately understood his meaning and hesitated a bit, then said awkwardly, “We’ve already tasked the manufacturers with producing VIP cards today, but all the VIP cards were sold out in just one afternoon. We don’t have any left in the store, and it’s something you’ll have to queue for…”
“In that case, I’ll leave it for now. I’ll come in person to queue when I have time in a few days,” the classmate nodded and said, unconcerned.
At this point, a few other classmates approached Han Bing’er and said, “Han, aren’t we still classmates? Now that we’ve been cut, we’re not even given the chance to purchase a membership card to save face.”
“Yeah, Han, are you just playing with us for fun tonight?”
Seeing these classmates who were cut down, filled with resentment towards Han Bing’er, some of those who were selected also came to her defense.
“If any of you are genuinely interested in our Tianhe Restaurant, here is some detailed information about it. You can take it back and read it carefully. Perhaps you’ll be better prepared for the next recruitment.” After saying this, Han Bing’er handed them a stack of materials.
These materials were prepared by Han Xin’er when she left and placed at the entrance of the hall for any interested guests to take. Irritated by the remarks, Han Bing’er handed them out to keep them quiet.
After receiving the materials, some glanced briefly, while others focused on reading them. Even though many merely skimmed, at least their attitude was commendable.
“Han Bing’er, do you really think handing us some lousy materials will shut us up? Do you think of us as too naive?” the female classmate who spoke earlier sneered once more at Han Bing’er.
This time, Han Bing’er said nothing, as that was exactly what she had intended.
Upstairs, Liu Hun watched the group continuously corner Han Bing’er, rendering her speechless. The corners of his mouth curved slightly, knowing Han Bing’er was unable to handle it anymore.
Then, Liu Hun made his way downstairs.
When Liu Hun appeared in the hall, those who had been deriding him paused in disbelief.
They hadn’t expected Liu Hun to actually come down.
“Director Liu…” Upon seeing Liu Hun, everyone’s face froze.
“Don’t blame Bing’er; those resumes were indeed selected by me personally. But this was only the first round of interviews. I had Bing’er inform you of the second round; dining is the third round. Unfortunately, many of you disappointed me,” Liu Hun said, shaking his head with a somewhat regretful expression.
“Interviews?” Upon hearing Liu Hun’s words, the crowd widened their eyes, filled with disbelief.
“Yes, indeed interviews. Those who passed or didn’t at the first stage are essentially still in the same position; I haven’t made a final choice yet. The second stage was dining, and for the company’s decision, you should not have any doubts. Even if you didn’t succeed in the recruitment, you should not mock your classmates or colleagues. It’s a basic principle. Third, when Bing’er asked you to read, only some of you did so. Even a brief skim is better than talking without action. I value proving one’s ability through actions, not words,” Liu Hun calmly explained to everyone.
When Liu Hun finished, everyone was dumbfounded. They hadn’t expected that everything arranged by Liu Hun from the beginning had been a test for them.
“If someone wants to achieve something, it requires opportunities and a bit of luck. But more importantly, it depends on one’s attitude towards people and things. So, congratulations to those who were reading just now; you passed the interview. Your abilities are all similar, so naturally, I choose those with good character and a solid work ethic. Do any of you have questions now?” Liu Hun looked at everyone and spoke slowly.
“Director Liu, are you saying I also passed the interview? Then what will our salary be?” A young man asked Liu Hun, looking dazed.
Upon hearing this, those who passed the interview sighed inwardly. Does Director Liu seem like a petty person? Asking about salary right away isn’t something most employers appreciate.
“During the internship, it’s ten thousand a month, and after that, it starts at thirty thousand. Whether you pass the internship depends on your performance during this period.” Liu Hun spoke calmly, without a hint of displeasure.
Yet just as he finished, the restaurant’s door was suddenly kicked open.
“Who was it that rejected my sister’s interview? I’d like to see just how high and mighty they are to reject my sister’s interview!” Following the door kick, a loud and arrogant voice echoed through the hall.
Since 7 PM, Tianhe Restaurant had been closed for the day due to the overwhelming VIP sales, requiring all restaurants to tally and plan for tomorrow’s sales that night.
Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw a big-bellied middle-aged man in a suit, followed by a group of hooligans, swaggering into Tianhe Restaurant.
Beside the big-bodied man was a girl, whom Liu Hun recognized as one of those who were among the first to leave earlier.
