Suddenly, Gao Jianfei seemed to understand something... Was it because he felt superior to the four beautiful women in the office and the only man? And now that I've joined the department, there are two men in the office, so he's unhappy and subconsciously dislikes me?
As the saying goes, "Two tigers cannot share one mountain," so using this office is quite appropriate!
Having roughly grasped the key points, Gao Jianfei felt confident and didn't say much more.
"Alright, Gao Jianfei, you've gotten to know everyone now. From now on, you can get to know your colleagues' personalities at work. Today, you'll work with Le Shi; she'll assign you tasks." Huang Cuiyun said directly to Gao Jianfei, "Today is just a trial period. If you don't know how to do your job, or if your attitude isn't serious, I'll send you back to head office before the end of the workday this afternoon."
Huang Cuiyun spoke meticulously and with a very serious attitude. After finishing her speech, she turned and went directly into her office.
When he heard that Gao Jianfei was only on trial today, his bright eyes lit up immediately.
He walked towards Gao Jianfei, and just as he was about to say something, Qin Leshi smiled and said to Gao Jianfei, "Gao Jianfei, come with me."
Gao Jianfei caught a glimpse of Zhang Liang walking towards him out of the corner of his eye. He seemed about to speak, but Gao Jianfei deliberately ignored him and followed Qin Leshi straight to her desk.
Leave Zhang Liang standing there!
"Hmph!" A shadow crossed Zhang Liang's otherwise handsome and refined face. He glared at Gao Jianfei's retreating figure and muttered under his breath, "Country bumpkin! Let's see what you're capable of. Stay in this planning department!"
Chapter Thirty-Three: Passing the Interview
Chapter Thirty-Three: Passing the Interview
Gao Jianfei followed Qin Leshi to her desk.
The small cubicle was simply and elegantly furnished. On the computer desk, besides a 19-inch LCD computer, there was a wooden pen holder and some documents. There were no other small ornaments or snacks that girls would like.
Simple, clean, and appropriate.
“Then, Gao Jianfei, could you print out a document for me first?” Qin Leshi sat down in front of her computer and pulled out something that looked like a contract from a neat stack of documents. “This contract needs to be printed in three copies. Go to the printer over there.”
Gao Jianfei smelled the luxurious fragrance emanating from Qin Leshi's body, but inwardly he thought, "Oh no... Print the document?"
Gao Jianfei has absolutely no idea how to use a printer!
Seeing Gao Jianfei hesitate and not take the contract, Qin Leshi seemed to understand something. She smiled and stood up. "Don't know how? Then I'll teach you this time. Actually, printers are very easy to operate. Come with me."
Fortunately, Qin Leshi was a really nice girl. She took the initiative to lead Gao Jianfei to the printer and then taught him step by step.
Using a printer is actually very simple. Gao Jianfei just hadn't had the chance to use these things before, but after watching Qin Leshi demonstrate it once, Gao Jianfei understood and could do it himself.
"Thank you, Miss Qin," Gao Jianfei said sincerely.
"It's alright." Qin Leshi smiled gently. "Sister Huang entrusted you to me, so it's my duty to teach you."
Just then, a deliberately amplified voice rang in Gao Jianfei's ears, "No way? Xiao Gao, you don't even know how to use a printer?"
Zhang Liang, holding a cup of coffee, walked to the printer and then raised his voice again, "That won't do!"
Gao Jianfei really wanted to rush up and give Zhang Liang a resounding slap, because he saw Huang Cuiyun looking towards the printer through the glass window of her office, her brows slightly furrowed and her eyes thoughtful.
"Damn it! Today's my probation day, I can't mess this up!" Gao Jianfei prayed inwardly. Actually, it wasn't that Gao Jianfei cared so much about the job; the key issue was, if he couldn't even handle this job, what could he do in the future?
If you can mess up something this simple, what kind of achievements can you expect in the future?
To be frank, Gao Jianfei had already come to see this job as a form of training and a test.
"I already know how to do it." Although he was annoyed with Zhang Liang, Gao Jianfei controlled his emotions well, showing no sign of distress on his face. He picked up a discarded document next to the printer and tried printing it himself. He ignored Zhang Liang completely, treating him like air.
"Okay, Gao Jianfei, practice on your own. I have some things to take care of. Come find me later!" Qin Leshi smiled and nodded to Gao Jianfei before going back to her work.
Gao Jianfei originally thought that if he ignored Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang would leave knowingly. Unexpectedly, not only did the guy not leave, but he also took a sip of coffee and observed Gao Jianfei with great interest.
With no one else around, Gao Jianfei no longer hesitated and looked up to meet Zhang Liang's gaze.
"Xiao Gao, what connections did you use to get into Alice?" Zhang Liang smiled knowingly.
"I don't understand what you're saying." Gao Jianfei's tone was no longer polite.
Zhang Liang's smile vanished instantly. His back was against Huang Cuiyun's office wall, preventing her from seeing his expression. His expression had become filled with contempt, disdain, and disgust, instantly transforming his once handsome and refined features into that of an extremely mercenary and narrow-minded petty bourgeois.
Zhang Liang is unable to be magnanimous and tolerant!
How can he tolerate a country bumpkin like him who dares to disobey him?
Originally, Zhang Liang was an arrogant and proud person. He got into Alice Cosmetics Company through connections. He was born into a good family; his parents had some influence, and he himself was adept at interpersonal relationships, knowing people in both the legitimate and underworld circles of the flower market. Therefore, subconsciously, he believed that someone like Gao Jianfei, a country bumpkin, should actively fawn over him, flatter him, and fawn over him once he entered the planning department.
But Gao Jianfei did not do that.
Of course, Zhang Liang couldn't directly suppress Gao Jianfei. What he needed to do now was to thoroughly investigate Gao Jianfei's background. He believed that someone like Gao Jianfei would have absolutely no chance of getting into Alice without connections. "Stop pretending. You can't even use a printer. What makes you think you can get into Alice, you country bumpkin? Let's be frank, who introduced you? Just say it! I, Zhang Liang, have connections in the head office. If your introducer is someone I know, then I, Brother Liang, can take care of you in every way in the planning department. Understand?"
That condescending tone!
"First, I'm not from the countryside. Although I come from a small city, I have an urban resident's household registration, just like you! Second, I don't have any connections. If I really had a strong background, would I need to be here for a trial period?" Gao Jianfei smiled faintly. "Perhaps you're someone who loves to show off, but... please don't try to show off in front of me. I've never been one for that!"
"You! Damn it! You don't know what's good for you!" Zhang Liang's face twisted completely. At this moment, Xiao Yanzi (Zou Yan) walked over. Zhang Liang seemed to be able to change his expression instantly, regaining his refined and handsome demeanor. He turned back to Zou Yan and smiled, "Xiao Yanzi, how about I take you to the movies tonight? We'll have Western food first, then watch a movie. Isn't that a good arrangement?"
Zou Yan held a large stack of documents in her hand. "No need, you should treat Sister Huang to Western food and a movie instead. However, I don't know if Sister Huang will refuse you like she did the previous nine times. Hehe."
Zhang Liang's expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his smile. "Alright, I won't disturb your work any longer." He turned and walked away.
Zou Yan put the document down and prepared to print it.
Gao Jianfei had just learned how to use a printer and was itching to try it out. "Little Swallow, let me help you."
"Okay!" Zou Yan smiled and then explained, "Print three copies of each document, understand?"
"Okay, I understand." Gao Jianfei began organizing the documents and setting up the printer, getting to work.
Zou Yan magically produced a small apple, munching on it while keeping Gao Jianfei company. Suddenly, she lowered her voice and said, "Hey, don't pay attention to Zhang Liang, that guy is disgusting."
"Oh?" Gao Jianfei, still working, glanced up and quickly looked at Zou Yan. "Disgusting?"
"Well, I can't say anything else, but..." Zou Yan cautiously glanced back at Huang Cuiyun's office, then said in a low voice, "Zhang Liang is pursuing our Sister Huang. He's used so many methods to woo her! Luckily, Sister Huang has never accepted his invitations. Pshaw, with his character, how could he be worthy of our Sister Huang?"
"Hehe." Gao Jianfei was new here and didn't know what to say, so he just smiled casually.
However, Gao Jianfei had gained a general understanding of two of the women in the office, Qin Leshi and Zou Yan.
Qin Leshi is generous, understanding, and has a gentle personality; she is very kind to people.
Zou Yan has the typical personality of a young girl: straightforward and outspoken.
The morning passed just like that. Gao Jianfei's performance wasn't very good; he only printed some documents and contracts for a few female employees.
From this perspective, Gao Jianfei was not qualified to pass Huang Cuiyun's interview and keep Alice.
Lunchtime.
Alice Company has a dedicated canteen and chefs. At lunchtime, all the employees line up to get their food.
Use a meal card.
Gao Jianfei had just arrived and didn't have a meal card, so Qin Leshi used her own meal card to make him a meal.
"Gao Jianfei, you're a boy, so I gave you a generous portion. If it's not enough, just tell me and I'll add some more." Qin Leshi smiled and placed the food she had gotten for Gao Jianfei on the small dining table before going to queue up for her own food.
Qin Leshi served Gao Jianfei a full half-pound of rice, along with three meat dishes, two vegetable dishes, and a bowl of pork rib soup. There was also a glass of freshly squeezed apple juice.
The meal included three meat dishes and two vegetable dishes, encompassing Sichuan, Hunan, and Cantonese cuisines. Clearly, Qin Leshi was catering to Gao Jianfei's tastes.
"What a thoughtful girl," Gao Jianfei thought to himself.
I glanced at the staff in the canteen; there were only a few dozen people, mostly young people, and many of them were beautiful women.
"This really is a company full of beautiful women!" Gao Jianfei thought to himself. However, he didn't know if he could keep Alice, so he had no interest in appreciating the beauty around him and just focused on eating.
After dinner, Gao Jianfei and Qin Leshi returned to the planning department together.
At this moment, Huang Cuiyun, Chen Xian, Zou Yan, and Zhang Liang were all standing at the door of the planning department office. The office door was locked, and they stood outside looking anxious.
Zou Yan blushed deeply. "Sister Huang, I... I just put the key in the computer desk drawer... I forgot, forgot to bring it with me... Sister Huang..."
"This young lady is so unreliable! She's so forgetful!" Huang Cuiyun said urgently. "I need to send a fax to a company in mainland China before 1:30, and now the documents are back on my desk. Ugh... what am I supposed to say to you?"
Zou Yan's eyes immediately reddened. "Sister Huang, I was wrong, I...I was wrong." Tears were about to spill from her eyes!
In fact, Huang Cuiyun and her colleagues each had a key to the planning department office door, but they probably found it troublesome to carry around a key that wasn't used much every day. After all, they all worked together, and only one person needed to carry the key each day. So, they decided to choose someone to be responsible for carrying the key and opening the door every day. Initially, Zou Yan volunteered to take on the task of carrying the key and opening the door. This morning, she used the nail clippers on the keychain to trim her nails, and then casually put the keychain in the drawer, forgetting to take it out!
The planning department office contains many confidential company documents, so the guardhouse and other departments would not have a key to the planning department office.
Huang Cuiyun was so anxious she was pacing around in circles!
If that fax hadn't been sent to the company in mainland China on time, it would have meant that an order would have fallen through!
"Sister Huang, why don't we let Sister Le Shi go home and get the keys?" Finally, Zou Yan burst into tears, feeling wronged.
Huang Cuiyun glanced at her watch. "It's too late. It'll be 1:30 in 7 minutes."
"Should I call a locksmith?" Zhang Liang was also anxious. He knew that if he could solve the door opening problem before 1:30, he would leave a very good impression on Huang Cuiyun! But he had no other choice! As soon as he said the words "call a locksmith," he regretted it... There were still a few minutes left before the deadline. Why call a locksmith? Would it be enough time?
"There's no other way! Let me kick the door open!" Zhang Liang pushed through the crowd, took a few steps back, and then rushed over quickly, kicking the door open.
The door didn't open; instead, he bounced back, landing hard on his backside and wincing in pain.
Gao Jianfei was somewhat shocked! Was Zhang Liang out of his mind? Or was he deliberately showing off his almost nonexistent intelligence?
He wanted to kick open the security gate?
Yes, the door to the planning department office isn't a wooden door; it's a security door.
"We're doomed! Only 5 minutes left." Huang Cuiyun's tone was filled with helplessness and... a hint of despair.
“Then, Manager Huang, let me do it.” Gao Jianfei stepped forward.
All eyes turned to Gao Jianfei.
"You want to kick this security door down too?" Huang Cuiyun shook her head. "Forget it!"
Gao Jianfei didn't say anything, walked straight to the door, and took out the toothpick he had used to pick his teeth after eating.
Gao Jianfei inserted a toothpick into the keyhole, touched the lock cylinder, and got a feel for it. Then... he turned it!
The movements were extremely skillful!
Gao Jianfei was very lucky this time. As soon as he turned the lock cylinder, the security door lock clicked open.
It took 3 seconds.
Gao Jianfei pushed the door open. "Manager Huang, you'd better hurry!"
Huang Cuiyun paused for a moment, then nodded at Gao Jianfei with a strong sense of approval in her eyes before rushing into the office.
"That's amazing!" Zou Yan burst into laughter through her tears, ran over and grabbed Gao Jianfei's hand. "Thank you! Thank you for opening the door!"
"Oh, it's nothing." Gao Jianfei felt a little embarrassed as Zou Yan held his hand, but he didn't dare to pull his hand away, as that would turn Zou Yan's gratitude into awkwardness.
"I didn't expect you could pick locks?" Qin Leshi walked over and nodded at Gao Jianfei with a smile.
