Chapter 3273 - 3265: Go Look in the Mirror
Chapter 3273: Chapter 3265: Go Look in the Mirror
The group remained silent, submitting their test papers quietly.
Zhou Ping didn’t hesitate and quickly graded them.
A dozen or so papers were finished in just a few minutes.
"There were 14 participants in the written test, and eight have passed. I’ll read out the names."
Everyone felt a bit nervous, except for Lin Yi, who rested his head on one hand, thinking to himself:
"Why does that old woman keep looking at me?"
Just then, Zhou Ping’s voice rang out.
"Liu Zhigang, Ma Hong, Zhao Fuchun, Sun Juan, Liu Ping, Zhang Shuang, Lin Yi, Li Dalong."
"Those whose names I called, please stay. The others can leave, thank you for your cooperation."
Those who passed the test secretly rejoiced, while those who didn’t silently exited.
In today’s society, finding a job is not an easy task, even if it’s just an ordinary sales job.
After the ones who didn’t pass the test left, Zhou Ping said:
"I’ll give everyone ten minutes to get ready in the lounge for the next interview. I’ll have someone notify you soon."
Everyone left quietly, found seats in the lounge, and sat down.
Lin Yi glanced at the others. No one was whispering, seemingly preparing for the upcoming interview.
He sighed quietly to himself.
You could tell how eager others were for this job.
The disparity between each other might be bigger than imagined.
Thinking of this, Lin Yi felt that even if he didn’t get selected, it wouldn’t be so bad.
They were only hiring three people in total; he could let them have the spots.
After all, the benefits here were already considered high in the industry, and he could work anywhere.
Soon, the ten minutes passed.
The first person called was Ma Hong.
The others’ expressions became even more tense.
Ring ring ring—
At this time, Lin Yi’s phone rang; it was an unfamiliar number.
"Is this Lin Yi?"
Hearing the voice on the phone, Lin Yi found it familiar, but couldn’t remember who it was.
"Who is this?"
"I’m Zhou Ping, also the examiner for the written test."
Knowing who it was, Lin Yi was a bit confused.
The first person in the interview just went in, it shouldn’t be so fast for them to call him in, right?
And there wasn’t any need to give a call for that, was there?
"Is there something you need?"
"Can you come to room 201?"
Lin Yi found it puzzling and didn’t quite understand the move.
He got up and headed toward room 201.
Knock knock knock—
"Come in."
Opening the door, Lin Yi entered.
He found himself in an office, and inside was the examiner from earlier.
It seemed to be Wu Xue Mei.
"Is the interview moved here?"
"The interviews are still being conducted in the meeting room. I called you over because I have something to discuss with you."
"What is it?"
"You might not know this, but your written test score wasn’t ideal. It was after I had a word with Zhou Ping that you were marked as passing."
As someone experienced and well-versed in social interactions, this approach appeared quite basic to Lin Yi.
"Thank you, President Wu."
"No need to thank me, it was just a small effort." Wu Xue Mei seriously said:
"I’ve looked at your academic background; it’s in marketing, which doesn’t quite align with our work."
"Alignment? Isn’t it just about selling cars? What’s it got to do with alignment?"
Lin Yi said:
"In today’s universities, what major teaches car selling?"
Hmm?
Lin Yi’s retort left Wu Xue Mei momentarily speechless.
"The issue now isn’t about the major; it’s how you view this job."
"I don’t view it in any special way, it’s just work, selling cars, is there anything more?"
"Of course."
Wu Xue Mei leaned back in her chair, seemingly regaining a bit of presence.
"If you want to excel at a job, you can’t just look at what’s right in front of you, you need a broader perspective." Wu Xue Mei said:
"In simple terms, you have to keep your eyes open."
"And then?"
Lin Yi responded indifferently:
"What do you want to say, President Wu?"
"I’ll be honest with you; I think you have good physical presence and seem smart. Are you interested in being my assistant?"
"Not interested."
Wu Xue Mei’s expression changed.
"Are you sure? Being my assistant would be much easier than selling cars."
"Still not interested."
"Heh..."
But instead of getting mad, Wu Xue Mei just laughed.
"You’re new to this industry, it’s normal if you can’t see the intricacies. Honestly speaking, what I can offer you is more than you might imagine, so don’t be too hasty in refusing. At the very least, I could save you ten years of effort."
"I’m not some workplace novice. If I didn’t understand all this, I’d have wasted my time working." Lin Yi said:
"There’s no need for these meaningless talks. With your looks, I just can’t be persuaded. If you plan to use me, do it; if not, I’ll leave."
Wu Xue Mei was taken aback.
Lin Yi’s sudden straightforwardness caught her off guard.
Indeed, sincerity is the ultimate weapon.
"Say that again!"
"Saying it again is pointless. Go look in the mirror."
With that, Lin Yi said nothing further, stood up, and left.
Meanwhile, an inner voice spoke up.
"Who the hell gave her the courage to say something like that to me?"
Upon returning to the lounge, the other applicants focused their gaze on Lin Yi.
"How did it go, buddy? What did they ask you?" someone asked curiously.
"I didn’t go to the interview; the boss called me in for a talk."
"Huh? A talk?"
Everyone was puzzled, "You haven’t even started, why would they talk to you?"
Lin Yi gave a mysterious smile, "Guess?"
Seeing Lin Yi’s expression, a few of the guys understood immediately.
"No way, did she want that?"
"Clever."
"And then? Did you agree?"
The group eagerly gathered around.
"I told her to look in the mirror first."
"Whoa, dude, that’s bold, but you definitely won’t get the job."
"Eh, doesn’t matter." Lin Yi said:
"There are eight of us, and only three get hired. If I step aside, your chances increase a bit. Best of luck."
"Thanks, man."
"You’re welcome."
After exchanging goodbyes, Lin Yi left.
He was preparing to submit resumes to other dealerships.
"Oh, out so soon?"
Just as he reached his car, he saw the middle-aged man still smoking where he was before.
"Old man, you sure smoke a lot, huh?" Lin Yi chuckled and said.
"Lunch break is about to start, just getting some fresh air, and I wanted to have a look at your car."
"Ah, looking through the fence is no fun, come out and see."
"Then I won’t be polite, I want to see how it’s modified." The middle-aged man said:
"After thinking about it, if I were to modify it myself, I wouldn’t reach this level."
"You’ll see."
Lin Yi laughed and drove the car out.
The middle-aged man stubbed out his cigarette and followed.
By the roadside, Lin Yi opened the hood, and the middle-aged man was amazed.
"Holy crap! Who the hell modified this?!?"
