I have to say, Chen Yutong was indeed very beautiful. She had fair, well-maintained skin and was even the department beauty back in the day.
Moreover, her family's background was quite decent, running some small businesses.
But precisely because of this, Qin Ning hadn't dared to accept her pursuit.
At that time, Qin Ning knew his own situation well. Having grown up in an orphanage, he knew he wasn't good enough for her.
It was a sense of inferiority.
After her confession was rejected, Chen Yutong never appeared in front of Qin Ning again.
He never expected that after graduation, their next meeting would be here of all places.
"Didn't you graduate from the finance department? Why are you working at the front desk?" Qin Ning asked curiously.
Logically speaking, with Chen Yutong's educational background, she shouldn't be here.
"Sigh..."
Hearing this, Chen Yutong sighed and couldn't help but complain to Qin Ning.
After listening to her story, Qin Ning finally understood.
Chen Yutong had seen the recruitment information online last month. After communicating over the phone, she specially traveled from Xi Province for the interview.
Who would have thought that upon arriving, she was told the position was already filled.
She was too embarrassed to just go back. After all, before leaving home, she had confidently told her parents that the job was absolutely guaranteed.
Left with no other choice, she decided to take a job at the front desk first. At least she could earn a salary to support herself.
"Didn't you already agree on this over the phone? Why did they suddenly say it was full?" Qin Ning frowned slightly. Such a recruitment attitude clearly indicated a problem with the higher-ups in this branch company.
As the saying goes, if the upper beam is not straight, the lower ones will go aslant.
If he hadn't known, it would be one thing, but since he did, he naturally couldn't pretend it hadn't happened.
"I was wondering the same thing. We agreed on an afternoon interview, but when I came, they said it was full. Later, I heard from a colleague at the front desk and finally found out..."
At this point, Chen Yutong looked around. After confirming no one was listening, she lowered her voice and whispered in Qin Ning's ear, "Before I arrived, the general manager temporarily arranged for two people to join. I think they are his relatives."
Saying this, she sized up Qin Ning and continued, "You're not here for an interview today, are you? I haven't heard that the company is hiring. Could it be that the online recruitment info hasn't been updated, and you were 'tricked' into coming here too?"
At this moment, a young woman walked in from outside, wearing professional attire and high heels.
Looking arrogant, she walked over to the front desk, glanced at Qin Ning, then at Chen Yutong, and placed a car key on the desk. She said to Chen Yutong, "My car is outside. Go park it for me later. Also..."
As she spoke, she took out some documents from her bag—a thick stack—and placed them in front of Chen Yutong. "I need these materials tomorrow. Organize them for me before tomorrow morning. I have to head out in a bit and probably won't be back to the company today. You can just use the computer in my office to do it."
"Okay, Sister Song," Chen Yutong replied helplessly.
Song Ling was a director of a certain department in the company. The position Chen Yutong came to apply for last month was exactly hers.
In terms of education and other aspects, Song Ling was far inferior to Chen Yutong.
But there was nothing she could do.
Who asked the other party's uncle to be the general manager of the company?
"Wait."
Just as Song Ling was about to turn around and head toward the elevator, Qin Ning's voice rang out.
"Who are you? What do you want?"
Song Ling frowned slightly, her gaze sizing up Qin Ning.
Beside them, Chen Yutong was also startled, not understanding why Qin Ning suddenly stopped her. Just as she was about to explain, Qin Ning spoke first, "You're asking the company's receptionist to do your work?"
"So what?"
Song Ling chuckled. "She knows how to do it, so I let her do it. Besides, I'm so busy, and the front desk is so free. Is there a problem with having her help out?"
"Who are you anyway? Does this have anything to do with you?"
"Handing your own work over to the front desk? Leaving aside whether a receptionist is qualified to access these documents, if any content gets leaked, are you planning to make her take the blame?" Qin Ning narrowed his eyes.
"Why would it leak? Only she and I know about these documents. They are only reported upward after being organized. If they leak, it can only be her fault."
Saying this, Song Ling frowned. "Who exactly are you? You don't seem to be an employee of our company, are you?"
"Indeed, I am not," Qin Ning looked at her.
"Then why are you sticking your nose into other people's business?"
Song Ling snorted coldly, then looked at Chen Yutong again. "Is this your friend? Hurry up and kick him out. Don't just let anyone into the company. If there's a next time..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the elevator stopped on the first floor.
Then, several figures walked out of it.
Leading them were two young women, none other than Qin Fei and Cheng Weiyang.
Behind them followed several of the company's senior executives.
Among them was Song Ling's uncle, the general manager of the company, Tian Jinglong.
"Uncle."
Seeing Tian Jinglong, Song Ling immediately went up to greet him, squeezing right between Qin Fei and Cheng Weiyang with a flattering smile on her face.
Tian Jinglong and the other senior executives all changed their expressions. Obviously, the scene of Song Ling pushing aside Cheng Weiyang and Qin Fei just now almost scared them to death on the spot.
"What are you doing?!"
After reacting, Tian Jinglong immediately scolded her, his face looking extremely ugly.
Being yelled at like this, Song Ling was frightened, not understanding what she had suddenly done wrong.
However, Tian Jinglong ignored what Song Ling was thinking and quickly walked up to Qin Fei and Cheng Weiyang. "President Qin, President Cheng, I'm sorry, this is my niece..."
"It's fine. Just tell her to be more careful in the future."
Qin Fei frowned slightly. Although she was inexplicably pushed just now, she wasn't injured or anything, so she didn't plan to pursue the matter.
At this time, Song Ling also reacted, realizing that these two young women, who were about her age, were not ordinary employees.
She quickly walked up as well. "I'm sorry, President Qin, President Cheng, I..."
"You're fired."
However, before she could finish speaking, Qin Ning was seen walking over slowly from not far away.
As soon as these words were spoken, not only Song Ling but also Tian Jinglong frowned instantly, their gazes turning toward Qin Ning.
Clearly, they didn't know this young man.
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
After Song Ling reacted, she looked at Chen Yutong angrily. "Didn't I tell you to kick him out? What are you still standing there for?"
"Brother, what's going on?" Qin Fei suddenly spoke up.
