Rory noticed that Han Muzi was being cold and distant to her before this, so when Han Muzi extended her arm to her, Rory thought, she finally accepted me.
“Eh? Is it because we aren’t competitors that you’re acknowledging me now?”
Han Muzi thought about this question as well when she heard it. They were competitors before this, but that wasn’t the reason she refused to admit that she knew her. It was just that she was afraid of Rory’s enthusiasm. After the incident that she had with Xueyou, she found that it was difficult for her to know or trust a stranger. Especially during this crucial moment. Will anyone find out that I’m abroad? What if… her identity was arranged by someone?
Seeing that she didn’t reply to her question, Rory didn’t press on and gladly said, “It’s alright. I won’t be upset even if that’s the reason. You have no idea; I’ve been working overseas for quite some time, but not many people actually bother to talk to me. Maybe it’s because I am not good enough when compared to other people. But when I talked to you that day, you didn’t ignore me, so I think that you are a nice person.”
Han Muzi was confused. Just because I didn’t ignore her, she thinks that I’m a good person? This girl is too naïve!
“Anyway, thank you! The elevator is here; let’s go in.”
Both of them entered the elevator. When they went in, the buzzer in the elevator rang. They were stunned at first and looked at each other, but after two seconds, they burst out laughing together. They continued laughing as they exited the elevator, ignoring the fact that the people around them stared as though they were insane. They continued to laugh even more.
After a while, they finally stopped cackling, but at this moment, they felt that they became closer to each other. However, this time, the two girls didn’t board another elevator. Instead, they waited for the same elevator to come back down and boarded it. This round, there weren’t many people in the elevator. Rory pressed the button to the floor she wished to go and asked, “Are you going straight to work later?”
Han Muzi nodded. “Most probably. “
Rory looked at her enviously. “That’s nice. You were in the interview room for some time, so I was quite certain that you would get the position.”
If she had not stayed in the room for ten minutes, Rory might not have given up on the position and looked for other jobs instead. After all, to her, being a secretary’s assistant would be a better job than being a regular staff since the salary would be higher too. Plus, the thing she needed most now was money. But she wasn’t as capable as other people, so she had to admit defeat.
Han Muzi smiled without replying to her. Soon, Rory reached her destination. She said goodbye and left while Han Muzi went to report her attendance. “Nice to meet you. I’m here to report my attendance as an assistant secretary.”
The person in front of her looked at her lazily and pointed to a direction. “The secretary’s office is over there.”
Upon hearing that, Han Muzi looked in the direction she pointed and saw the secretary’s office, then she thanked the person before walking there. That person gazed and appraised her from behind before sitting down on her seat.
When Han Muzi reached the secretary’s office, she knocked on the door and heard the voice of a middle-aged woman from inside the office. “Come in.”
Upon hearing that, Han Muzi pushed open the door and entered the office. The person sitting in front of the office desk was one of the interviewers she met during the interview. She was an elderly woman with a slightly plump figure and was dressed appropriately while wearing a pair of spectacles. It was obvious that she was a mother herself.
Han Muzi walked up to her to greet her, “Hello.”
The woman looked at her and smiled. “You’re here. Come over and have a seat.”
Han Muzi walked over to the couch opposite her and sat down while the woman handed her a contract. “Please read through this contract. You will start with a three-month probation period and if you are unable to perform well during your probation, your salary will be the same as a normal employee’s. However, if you are able to perform well and be promoted to official employee after three months, your salary during your probation period will be the same as the salary of an official employee.”
Having no question with the arrangements, Han Muzi nodded.
Then, the woman smiled and looked at her. “Do you have any other questions?”
Han Muzi shook her head, but just when she was about to reply ‘no’ to her, she suddenly realized that it would seem weird if she didn’t ask any questions. She was here to work, so she couldn’t let other people know that she was here because of Ye Moxuan. Otherwise, she would need to leave even before the probation period ended and all her efforts would be in vain.
Though she was prepared to face a long battle, she still felt worried when she heard that her probation would be three months long. She was now pregnant for two months and she wondered if her baby bump would show three months later. By that time… Upon thinking about this, Han Muzi furrowed her brows.
Looking at her frowning, the woman sitting opposite her asked, “Looks like you have some questions to ask me.”
Having heard her voice, Han Muzi came back to her senses and nodded. “Yes. I would like to ask about the salary. Is the salary paid monthly during my probation period?” After saying that, she smiled shyly. “I’m renting a place, so…”
“Ah, I expected that you would ask this question. Don’t worry. Your salary will be paid as usual. And if you are promoted as an official employee, we will pay you the balance in your first month as an official employee. Isn’t this surprising?”
Han Muzi had no choice but to act surprised and responded, “Your company gives great benefits. It’s no wonder there are so many applicants who want to work for your company.”
Hearing her words, the woman seemed surprised, but she shook her head and said, “Do you think that they came for the company’s benefits?”
Han Muzi knew that wasn’t the case; they were here for her Ye Moxuan. However, she couldn’t say so for now, so she nodded.
“Then, you are wrong. Yuchi Group does provide good benefits, but not to the extent of attracting a large crowd of people. No, our company doesn’t have this kind of terrifying ability. After all, job seekers have different goals but it is more or less the same. But the young girls who came for interviews recently? They all have another common goal.
“Common goal?”
The woman smiled mysteriously and didn’t answer her question directly. Instead, she got on her feet and said, “You will find out eventually. If you don’t have any questions, please sign this contract and give your best performance in these three months. You can call me Miss Lin.”
After reading the contract seriously and made sure that there wasn’t any problem with it, she signed her name on it and handed the contract over to Miss Lin. “Thank you, Miss Lin. I’ll be in your care from now on.”
