Quick Transmigration: Leisure

Chapter 445 Heartless in a CEO Novel (25)

A vibrant summer day, Monday, Shenta.

The spacious lobby was filled with newly arrived employees, who looked around. Those who were able to enter the Shenta Group headquarters had already undergone several rounds of screening.

The initial impression interview with Shenta was even earlier than the written test, and a lot of effort was put into it.

But it's unclear who came up with this unspoken rule: people whose image doesn't fit the requirements won't be hired.

It's not just about being handsome or beautiful, but about a person's temperament—whether it's clean or passionate. According to Assistant Lin, this is the wise choice to emulate the ancients. Only by avoiding those whose birth charts clash with Shen's (申) can one avoid major misfortune.

It is said that

The first round of interviews even involved a professional fortune teller.

Those newcomers with real talent but strange luck will be pushed to their peers.

Those in the know will recommend it to other good friends, while those who don't will just consider it a bargain.

Thus, the initial fortunes of selected employees won't be too bad. However, in a complex environment, it's uncertain who will corrupt or infect whom. Masters have seen it all: some people who should have been prosperous for eight generations suddenly end up with their families ruined and their lives destroyed.

Whether or not the "master" was exaggerating is a matter of opinion.

at least,

Given the current fortunes of the female lead and the male supporting character, they are more than qualified to be selected.

They're sitting in the corner of the line right now, whispering about something.

Wow, that's impressive!

"Yes, Miss Shopkeeper!"

"Yangyang, do you know her?"

"Yes! This is the owner of the 'Year After Year Foundation,' the kind person who helped us save Xiaohua and Xiaohuang."

"Wow, she's so beautiful! It seems like Shenta's employees are quite prestigious; everyone's bowing!" Qiu Ling looked at Xia Youmi, who exuded confidence, and briefly expressed her envy. "I wish I could be friends with her. Yangyang, are you friends?"

"I...I only met her once. After that, it was her assistant who contacted me," Xi Yangxi said shyly.

At first, he thought the shop owner was just a lazy rich kid who opened a shop for her pet. But he didn't expect that in addition to a foundation with no major activities, she also held a position in the emerging pyramid of the city's business world—Shenta Group.

and,

The fact that the supervisor leading this group of new recruits had to greet them speaks volumes.

However, Xi Yangxi shouldn't approach Xia Youmi at this time, lest she incur resentment during subsequent interviews. Unaware of the interpersonal relationships involved, caution was always wise.

But he still took the initiative to greet her; whether Xia Youmi would accept was not the most important thing.

Only after the person wearing flat shoes but with an aura of 1.8 meters tall entered the elevator did someone in the intern team begin to explain the relevant internal information.

Every year, many second-generation graduates from various institutions are selected. Shenta is a place that hones talent, stimulating potential more effectively than many long-established and cumbersome institutions. Therefore, it has inexplicably become a popular destination for second-generation graduates.

Even if you want to inherit your family business in the future, you still have to come here to build your resume.

Therefore, many people prepare from the very beginning to poach talent from Shenta. They don't mind sharing their experiences or treating others to meals to build rapport.

"The one who just went in is Secretary Xia, the most capable person in President Shenta's office." A second-generation rich kid spoke up not far from Xi Yangxi, with a hint of regret on his face.

“Young Master Liu, tell me more. I heard from Uncle that Secretary Xia is particularly difficult to get along with,” another second-generation rich kid chimed in.

"She's more than just difficult to get along with; she's practically friendless. Even the CEO is afraid of her."

"So fierce!"

Xi Yangxi also showed a surprised expression. He tugged at Qiu Ling's sleeve to indicate that he knew some inside information that outsiders did not know.

But this was clearly not the time for a conversation, and the surroundings quieted down as everyone prepared to listen to the two second-generation interns supplement the information.

"As you know, last year was the first time the Secretariat recruited people, and only three were hired in total."

"Yes, yes!" Many people nodded in agreement; most of them had come specifically for this post.

“Everyone who can get in is extraordinary, especially the other two who both have their own resources. In comparison, Secretary Xia’s family is just an ordinary family with a completely unrelated background. But…” Liu Shao paused, “But Secretary Xia is a genius! She can not only perfectly perform her duties as a secretary, but also negotiate with major resource providers and handle troublesome low-level clients on her own.”

"Then?"

"And then there's the revenue from copyrights! The patents Xia alone applied for are equivalent to an entire department at Shenta! She's basically a key player. And that's not all; apparently, some of her programs are so good that they've been requisitioned and promoted by higher-ups. Although they're not credited, everyone knows they're Shenta's work, and it's obvious who gets the bonuses within Shenta!"

"Wow, that's amazing!" a girl exclaimed excitedly. "Will the new members who join the secretariat this year have the chance to be personally mentored by Secretary Xia?"

"Yes?"

This statement resonated with some of the interns.

Who wouldn't want to be assigned to work under a pragmatist, where they could learn invaluable lessons?

However, Liu Shao shook his head slightly and sighed, "Difficult."

"Huh? I heard that the secretarial office is one-on-one, so normally Secretary Xia would be assigned to at least one mentor." The second-generation rich kid who had spoken earlier questioned.

"I'm not saying Secretary Xia doesn't mentor newcomers, it's just that it's difficult to achieve what you want." Young Master Liu clicked his tongue, thinking that since his own company couldn't poach talent, they were actually trying to get him to take the job, which is why he had so many high-level internal documents.

However, the more I looked at the materials, the clearer the difficulty became.

"I'm not kidding you, but for the first six months, Secretary Xia was fine, gentle and easy to talk to. But I heard that after her breakup with her boyfriend, who was very much in love with her, went abroad and never came back, Secretary Xia started to develop into a ruthless shrew. She has a cold face, and no one can do anything to her. Apart from serious work-related matters, you can't talk to her about anything else."

"There's another story behind this?"

"So, either you're capable enough to get your supervisor to assign you directly to Xia Youmi, but you might have to accept being completely ignored and figuring things out on your own during your internship. She relied entirely on herself back then, without much guidance from others." Liu Shao shook his head again. "Something like that is worse than choosing a more meaningful senior to work under, at least there's a mentor-student relationship, and you can socialize with them."

"If you don't go, then I won't go either."

"Then, is there anyone else suitable?" "I don't know." "Aren't there two secretaries?" "How about we just find their former supervisors? Maybe they'll become equals in the future."

"I'm timid and cowardly, and I'm afraid of bosses with such a cold and hard style." As the discussion began, Liu Shao suppressed his emotions. How could he let the competition increase? Naturally, he would scare away as many as possible.

in the corner,

Xi Yangxi quietly shared his impressions of Xia Youmi with Qiu Ling, and judging from the timeline, Secretary Xia already had a cold and hard style at the company at that time. Since his perception was correct, it could only prove that Secretary Xia was actually a warm, loving, and affectionate person who was especially good to those she approved of.

Xi Yangxi only shared this view with Qiu Ling.

As Qiu Ling listened, her thoughts gradually became clearer. She said to Xi Yangxi, "I'm thinking of joining her ranks..."

"Yes, I'll help you, Qiu," the boy nodded in agreement.

The rigorous selection process was underway downstairs, but it didn't disrupt the daily operations of the secretariat for the time being. The supervisor in charge was someone Jin Shunmei had promoted from logistics earlier this year; she was obedient and capable.

The three members of the previous secretariat all seemed to be career-oriented, and after a brief clash, they devoted themselves wholeheartedly to their grand ambitions.

Their excellence was almost impossible to conceal. It was manageable with just one, but with all three, Kim Soon-mi gradually couldn't withstand the pressure of keeping it a secret.

She had to transfer new, more capable people from below to take over.

Entrusting such an important task as recruitment to Manager Feng, bypassing Xia Youmi and the other two, was a risky move. Jin Shunmei appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, she had to keep a close eye on the progress and help Manager Feng with the selection process even late at night.

Among these steps, background research on the newcomers and their social class were steps that Shao Yunshen had implicitly requested.

If she eliminates people who shouldn't be screened, it would be considered a dereliction of duty on her part.

The other three were happy to have some peace and quiet.

As Shenta expanded its operations, their workload became terrifying, creating an urgent need for new recruits. While it's true that preparation is key, helping with the selection process was for future convenience.

However, it's obvious that someone wants to seize power, and if they get involved, it will only delay their own work.

It's better to contact the chosen one last time and easily take the fruit.

Xia Youmi usually slacks off while drinking coffee. Her efficiency is not very scientific, so she has to learn to adjust. She also doesn't have any extra hands to do regarding the newcomers.

It was simply to let Xi Yangxi in.
