Who goes to work if they're a decent person?

Chapter 2 Don't be discouraged, every man's first time is like this.

The elevator ascended smoothly without stopping and quickly arrived at the 16th floor.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, Su Ming stepped out and saw the "Starlight Shining Culture Media" logo pasted on the frosted glass wall behind the reception desk.

A cute young girl was sitting at the front desk, looking down at her computer.

Su Ming stepped forward: "Hello, I'm looking for General Manager Zhang. I have an interview scheduled."

The girl looked up, glanced at Su Ming from head to toe, and handed him a form.

"Let's fill out a form first!"

Su Ming quickly finished writing and handed it to the little girl, who took it and looked at it carefully.

"Su...Ming?"

"Oh! You have an appointment, right? Just go in and wait in the waiting area over there."

The little girl pointed ahead, and Su Ming looked in that direction. It was a sofa area by the window, where two people were sitting.

One male and one female.

The woman's profile looks familiar.

Su Ming walked over, and the girl turned around at the same time. Their eyes met, and both of them were stunned for a moment.

"Su Ming?"

"Forest......"

"What was it again?"

"It's Lin Yiyi."

"Oh, oh, oh, Lin something?"

"Grandpa, you should bury yourself now."

The girl frowned slightly. It was one thing for him not to remember his own name, but he was also using such a tired joke.

Back in high school, I even wrote him a love letter.

snort!

Although that love letter ultimately disappeared without a trace, without even a reply.

Thinking of this, the girl suddenly blushed and said, "It really is you! Long time no see."

"Oh right, but we just met a second ago."

At this moment, the boy next to the girl also stood up: "Hey! Ming-ge, do you remember me? Chen Hao, the one who sat behind you in the second year of high school."

"Oh... Haozi." Su Ming nodded; of course he remembered Chen Hao.

Back then, he was a notorious simp for Lin Yiyi in our class. He would bring her breakfast every morning during self-study, rain or shine, and he persisted for two whole years.

"That's right, that's right." Chen Hao leaned forward, his tone warm. "Brother, you're here for an interview too?"

"Yes, I came to take a look."

"That's such a coincidence! I was just telling Yiyi that this company is growing very fast, so its requirements are quite high."

It seems like the minimum education requirement is a bachelor's degree or higher. Bro, what's your current education level...?

He didn't finish his sentence, but his meaning was clear.

After graduating from high school, Su Ming went to a junior college, which was common knowledge in the class, while Lin Yiyi and Chen Hao both got into undergraduate programs.

As Chen Hao spoke, he looked at Su Ming expectantly, waiting to see his embarrassed expression.

"Oh, I see..." Su Ming patted Chen Hao on the shoulder, trying to comfort him. "It's okay, getting into a university is already pretty good."

You have to believe that a good bachelor's degree is no worse than a junior college degree...

"ah?"

Chen Hao was stunned by Su Ming's slap and words of comfort, and didn't react for a moment.

Lin Yiyi, who was next to her, burst out laughing, but then realized it wasn't appropriate and quickly coughed twice to suppress it.

"No, Ming-ge, I mean..." Chen Hao tried to steer the conversation back on track.

"I understand, I understand." Su Ming had an understanding look on his face that said, "Don't feel inferior."

He sat down on the single sofa next to him. "A degree is just a stepping stone. The key is your future abilities and development."

Haozi, the fact that you came for an interview means the company recognizes your potential. You should have confidence in yourself.

Chen Hao stared wide-eyed and opened his mouth, feeling a tightness in his chest, as if something was wrong.

This script is wrong! He was supposed to be "concerned" about Su Ming's lack of education, so how did it turn into Su Ming encouraging him?

Lin Yiyi interrupted at this moment: "Su Ming, how have you been all these years? What have you been doing?"

Su Ming looked up at the ceiling at a 45-degree angle and said with a faint smile, "Sigh, I'll do some research projects after graduation."

He spoke with a straight face, saying, "My main research is 'A Guide to Harmonizing Employment Mentality and Family Relationships among Contemporary Youth'."

The curriculum also includes two main topics: "How to gracefully refuse a friendly competition arranged by parents."

"Wow! That sounds amazing! Have you made any research findings?"

"The preliminary research conclusion is..." Su Ming looked at Lin Yiyi and said in a deep voice, "The best solution is to find a job."

Lin Yiyi was amused again, while Chen Hao thought to himself, "Crazy."

But he had to keep smiling, since Lin Yiyi was smiling and he couldn't show it.

Just then, a human resources specialist in a business suit walked over and said, "Lin Yiyi, it's your turn for the interview."

"It's my turn!" Lin Yiyi stood up, gave the two a thumbs-up, and then followed them.

Only Su Ming and Chen Hao remained in the waiting area.

Chen Hao glanced at Su Ming's ordinary T-shirt and jeans, which probably cost less than two hundred yuan in total.

Looking at her carefully chosen shirt and trousers, she seemed to regain some confidence.

He cleared his throat and lowered his voice: "Ming-ge, honestly, have you still kept in touch with Yi-yi all these years?"

Su Ming turned his head, his face completely at ease: "Yes."

Chen Hao's heart skipped a beat, as if he had fallen into an ice cave: "Do...do you contact each other frequently?"

"Yes!" Su Ming nodded, his expression extremely serious. "We often organize some in-depth and frequent mutual aid activities together."

"Depth? High...high frequency activity?" Chen Hao was shocked, countless possible scenarios flashing through his mind.

Su Ming pushed up his non-existent glasses with his index finger, his tone calm and professional: "Get a discount on Pinduoduo!"

"She posts links very frequently. I'm a key member of her 'click for me' list, having contributed at least three times."

He paused, then concluded, "This connection is quite close and is based on shared economic goals and mutual benefit."

Chen Hao opened his mouth, but couldn't close it for a long time.

"...Ming-ge." Chen Hao finally managed to squeeze out a sentence after holding it in for a long time, "You're still as humorous as ever."

Su Ming waved his hand, leaned closer to Chen Hao, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously, "So, your way of pursuing girls is completely wrong."

"Let me give you a heads-up, the person who will actually make the final decision during the interview is a female manager."

Chen Hao nodded; he had found out about that.

She's supposedly a successful businesswoman in her thirties with very high standards; the previous few interviewees were all rejected.

Su Ming held up five fingers in front of Chen Hao and waved them, saying casually, "Just wait and see, I'll show you what I'm capable of, I can handle the female boss in five minutes."

"Five minutes?" Chen Hao was taken aback. "Brother, you're not going to...?"

"Yes, watch carefully and learn well."

Chen Hao glanced at the closed door of the interview room, seemingly unsure whether to comment.

Then, somewhat frankly, he said to Su Ming, "Brother, although your... style of humor might..."

It's quite amusing for girls, but using it in a serious job interview is really unreliable.

Su Ming feigned profundity, remaining silent as if he had everything under control.

That look left Chen Hao speechless.

Keep pretending!

"Next, Chen Hao." The HR specialist came over to call him.

Chen Hao stood up abruptly, straightened his clothes, and walked in with his back straight.

Once inside, it took more than twenty minutes.

Lin Yiyi chatted casually with Su Ming, while Su Ming looked up business leasing tips on his phone until the interview room door opened again.

Chen Hao came out, looking somewhat unnatural, indicating that he hadn't performed very well in the interview.

Su Ming stood up, patted Chen Hao on the shoulder, and said, "It's okay, all men are like this the first time, don't be discouraged."

"Next, Su Ming," the HR specialist called out.

Su Ming smiled, walked into the interview room, and closed the door behind him.

Lin Yiyi had left outside the door because she had something to do, leaving only Chen Hao, who insisted on watching the excitement.

He was now somewhat skeptical and determined to confirm whether what Su Ming said was true.

Sure enough, the door opened five minutes later.
