“Young Master, after multiple rounds of selection by the HR department, ten candidates have passed the interviews. This is the list.”
As Zuo Shishi spoke, she handed the information of the ten candidates to Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan nodded in satisfaction.
Zuo Shishi’s efficiency was indeed high. With her around, he could relax a lot.
People always said, when there’s work, let the secretary handle it; when there’s no work…
In his previous life, Chu Yuan had been a poor nobody with neither money nor power. Naturally, he had envied those big bosses who changed beautiful female secretaries every day.
Now the tide had turned. It was their turn to envy him.
Picking up the resumes, Chu Yuan quickly scanned through them.
It had to be said, those who passed the multiple rounds of selection by the Tianlong Group’s HR department were naturally not lacking in figure, appearance, or education.
Female college graduates, and from prestigious universities at that.
The previous HR manager had long been sent by Chu Yuan to Dongshan to “have a free lunch.”
The newly appointed HR manager understood Chu Yuan’s preferences very well.
As for the position of secretary, putting aside everything else, even if he had no ulterior motives, the person standing by his side at least had to be pleasing to the eye.
If it were someone who made people feel like throwing up at first glance, wouldn’t that just be disgusting?
Of course, even if he did have certain thoughts, what Chu Yuan wanted was not a mere vase, but someone with real ability.
Otherwise, if he truly fancied a particular woman, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
“Shishi, these candidates all have pretty good qualifications.”
“Let the HR department notify them to come for the final interview this afternoon.”
“Alright.”
Zuo Shishi did not say anything more, nor did she probe into Chu Yuan’s real intentions.
That was precisely what Chu Yuan liked most about Zuo Shishi. She did her job well and did not overstep.
After enduring a rather tedious morning, Chu Yuan went straight to the HR department.
The newly appointed HR manager, Cao Zheng, came forward enthusiastically to greet him.
“For the specific details of this interview, please give your instructions, Chairman.”
“There are no issues, right?”
“Please rest assured, Chairman. I have carefully observed all ten candidates who passed the interview. I even conducted background checks on their families.”
“Assistant Zuo has the detailed investigation reports.”
After receiving Zuo Shishi’s nod, Chu Yuan smiled in satisfaction.
This Cao Zheng did have some capability. He was not limited to flattering his superiors.
“Chairman, how should these candidates be cultivated?” Cao Zheng asked. Visit g.com for the full chapter.
Chu Yuan’s attitude would determine Cao Zheng’s approach and direction during the interviews.
If Chu Yuan merely wanted to find a few women to amuse himself, then naturally, the prettier and more attractive their figures, the better.
If he wanted someone outstanding in work ability while also possessing good looks, then the selection would be far more complicated.
Moreover, these women might very well become the Young Master’s women in the future. Cao Zheng had to be cautious in how he treated them.
After all, the most terrifying wind in this world was pillow talk.
“Myself and Shishi will not be in the company often, so for the time being, many matters will require someone to help manage them.”
“And as my secretary, her image represents me and the group.”
After saying so much, it could be summarized in four words: talent and beauty combined.
“I understand, Chairman. I completely understand.”
Cao Zheng narrowed his eyes into a thin line. With things already stated so plainly, how could he not understand?
If he handled this well, he could definitely soar to great heights.
Having grasped Chu Yuan’s meaning, Cao Zheng asked again, “Chairman, shall I notify them to begin the interviews now?”
“Yes, let’s start.”
“You will take the lead this time. I’ll assist you.”
After saying that, Chu Yuan moved a small stool over and sat to the side as if taking it seriously.
Cao Zheng finally breathed a sigh of relief. With the boss present, it was naturally for the best.
If there were any requirements, they would be stated directly.
Soon, the interviews officially began.
The first girl who walked in made Chu Yuan’s eyes light up.
She was about 1.75 meters tall, with an extremely slender figure.
Unfortunately, the overly obvious flat chest was her biggest flaw.
After asking a few questions, although the girl answered fluently, first impressions determined everything. Chu Yuan ultimately shook his head.
Cao Zheng had been watching Chu Yuan’s expression the entire time. When he saw him shake his head, he immediately understood that the girl had been rejected.
After asking a few perfunctory questions, he said routinely, “You may go back and wait for our notification.”
The girl walked out somewhat disappointed.
Soon, another girl was called in.
She was dressed in a JK outfit, with a rather pure appearance. Her image was unmistakably that of a student girl.
Chu Yuan shook his head helplessly. Was she trying to tempt him with a uniform?
The following girls each had their own merits. Cao Zheng was dazzled by the sight, yet always felt something was missing.
The fifth girl who entered made Chu Yuan’s eyes light up again.
She had a slender figure and a pair of enviable long legs. Especially that 34C figure, with everything in the right place.
Wearing blue-framed glasses, she exuded a blend of maturity and scholarly elegance.
She was practically the ideal secretary.
Seeing Chu Yuan stare at the girl with satisfaction, Cao Zheng finally relaxed inwardly.
This girl had been carefully selected by him.
Although he could not completely grasp the Young Master’s thoughts, as a man, especially one who frequented various social venues, he knew what kind of women the Young Master preferred.
Cao Zheng asked a few routine questions.
The girl maintained a faint smile and said, “My name is Pan Yaqin. My undergraduate major was in secretarial studies. I’m hoping to find a job related to my field.”
After asking a few more questions, Cao Zheng turned his gaze toward Chu Yuan.
Chu Yuan smiled and asked, “From what you’re saying, your academic performance must have been excellent. Why didn’t you continue pursuing graduate studies?”
Pan Yaqin smiled, revealing a row of white teeth. “There’s no end to knowledge in books. I believe practical experience is more important.”
Chu Yuan was momentarily speechless.
Everyone had their own thoughts. He did not wish to ask further.
He nodded to Cao Zheng, indicating approval.
Cao Zheng stood up with a smile and said, “Pan Yaqin, congratulations. You have passed this interview and are officially hired. Someone will discuss the specific arrangements with you shortly.”
“Thank you!”
Pan Yaqin let out a long breath.
She had already prepared herself for the worst. This sudden stroke of good luck left her dizzy even as she walked out.
Once Pan Yaqin had completely disappeared from sight, Cao Zheng eagerly asked, “Young Master, you’re satisfied with her, right? I picked her carefully.”
Chu Yuan nodded with satisfaction. “The girl is indeed quite good. I will personally cultivate her.”
Seeing the faintly wicked smile at the corner of his Young Master’s mouth, Cao Zheng quickly lowered his head.
There were some matters he dared not pry into.
“Young Master, since the secretary has been selected, should we conclude the interviews?”
“Conclude? There are still five more. I want to interview them all.”
Who said one secretary was enough?
As the Young Master of the Chu Family and Chairman of the Tianlong Group, hiring two or three secretaries was hardly excessive.
