179: Chapter 180 Questioning Results
To his surprise, the ghostwriter hired to take the test didn't show up; instead, the ghostwriter had prepared answers for the boss.
The answers were very official and perfect.
An Xin tried changing the question format, which left the cheating candidate stunned, causing him to stumble over his answers.
He kept pressing the remote control, waiting for the answer to come through his Bluetooth earpiece, but after waiting for two minutes with no response, the candidate began to panic. In order to successfully secure the job at Mingyue Pavilion, the cheating candidate picked out the data from the ghostwriter's prepared answers that slightly fit the question and recited it, though he stuttered, and his eyes darted around shiftily.
An Xin noticed all these details.
"That's enough. Next."
The cheating candidate breathed a sigh of relief after answering the question, thinking he had managed to muddle through.
The entire afternoon was spent on interviews, and An Xin selected three candidates from the twelve.
These three individuals had strong overall qualifications, each with their own merits, and An Xin wanted to keep them all.
Although there was only one store manager position available, An Xin's current business portfolio included more than just Mingyue Pavilion.
When encountering promising talent, he naturally wanted to cherish them.
An Xin passed all three interviewees directly, assigned each a suitable position, and offered the same starting salary.
"Welcome to my team. I have provided the platform, but your future success depends on your own abilities. Your overall strengths are evenly matched, so don't be curious about each other's salaries; the starting salary I've offered is the same for all of you."
Zhang San, Li Siyu, and Wang Mazi.
Each had their own position, and Zhang San was the most outstanding of the three.
Although she was a woman, her professional competence was not inferior to any man's.
Her management ability was superior to that of Chu Xinxin.
This young woman was not only capable, but her life story was also quite dramatic.
She was originally the only daughter of a real estate developer, Mr. Li. Due to a construction accident, Mr. Li's project became an unfinished building, and burdened with massive debt, he couldn't bear the pressure and jumped into a river, leaving Li Siyu alone in this world to inherit his debts.
Overnight, Li Siyu went from being a "rich second generation" to a "debt second generation."
The young woman was resilient and was not crushed by the massive debt; she had been working hard all these years and was only five million short of paying it all off.
Starting with a debt of one hundred million and fighting until she was only five million away from being debt-free, she was truly a tough person.
An Xin's monthly salary here was two million, excluding commissions and bonuses.
If this young woman truly had the skills, she could pay off her five million debt in less than a month.
An Xin chose her to work at Mingyue Pavilion because he wanted to give them both a chance.
An Xin gave Li Siyu a chance to get back on her feet, and Li Siyu gave Mingyue Pavilion a chance to surpass Sakura Group.
It was mutually beneficial.
All three were steady individuals; they didn't rush to sign the contracts. They carefully read the contracts three times to ensure there were no tricks in the commercial employment agreements before signing them.
An Xin liked employees with such steady temperaments.
With these people at Mingyue Pavilion, there was no need to worry about its future.
An Xin walked the three of them out of the interview room. The cheating candidate walked over with his rejection slip and questioned An Xin about why he hadn't passed the interview.
"What was wrong with the answers I gave? Why didn't you pass me in the interview?"
"Did you write the answers on your test paper yourself?"
An Xin couldn't be bothered to waste time with someone of such questionable character and directly pointed out the truth.
The man's pupils constricted sharply.
"I didn't cheat. Mr. Examiner, there must be some misunderstanding here. Can we go back inside and talk?"
The cheating man was unwilling to give up; he had come this far, and he was just one step away from landing the job at Mingyue Pavilion.
He had already spent two hundred thousand to hire a ghostwriter and had passed the written test; he was not willing to let his future stop here because of one interview.
He was very agitated and grabbed An Xin's sleeve.
"I'm innocent, Mr. Interviewer. Please give me a fair chance to compete."
"A fair chance to compete? How can someone like you, who uses a proxy test-taker, have the nerve to say those four words?"
An Xin's eyes were filled with disgust as he looked at the cheating man.
He hated this kind of man the most.
"You say I cheated, but what evidence do you have? If you can't provide evidence, I will report you for unfair examination practices! Let's see who will dare to come here to compete for a position."
The cheating man looked at Li Siyu with malice.
An Xin must have given the store manager position to Li Siyu because he was interested in her figure.
Li Siyu had a very hot figure, and her face was a traditional Oriental oval shape, with willow-leaf eyebrows that gave her the elegance of a classical beauty.
Li Siyu's father was the fourth largest real estate developer in Jinghai. Three years ago, due to the collapse of the property market, he was burdened with a debt of 150 million and, unable to bear the pressure, jumped off a building.
For the past three years, Li Siyu had lived every day in the nightmare of being hounded by debt collectors.
Her entire world was dedicated to making money.
In just three short years, she had paid off one hundred million in debt, and now only five million remained.
The cheating man didn't believe Li Siyu had the ability to earn that much money, as even Mr. Li couldn't bear the pressure.
Upon learning that Li Siyu was about to finish paying off the debt, the cheating man's first reaction was that she had paid it off by relying on sleeping with others in illicit transactions.
The cheating man was convinced that An Xin and Li Siyu had an illicit transaction.
If the two of them didn't have an illicit transaction, why didn't he choose someone else to be the store manager of Mingyue Pavilion?
How popular was Mingyue Pavilion right now, and how strong was its future commercial potential?
Giving such a good position to a woman.
The cheating man simply refused to accept it.
The proxy test-taker he had found was a high-end, elite talent from a top management school.
The answers provided by such a talent were definitely more perfect than Li Siyu's.
"You are just deliberately slandering me for cheating. I understand; you're afraid I'll spread the word about your unspoken rules. You're afraid that Mingyue Pavilion's reputation will be ruined."
The cheating man gave a mysterious smile, a smile that made one feel nauseous.
"You want evidence, right? You want to make a scene, right?"
An Xin's cold voice echoed in the hallway as he stared into the cheating man's eyes.
The cheating man's real name was Li Guan, the second son of the Li family, and his status in the family was not very high.
In order to regain the family's recognition, Li Guan had painfully spent a huge sum of money to hire a ghostwriter to take the test. His only goal was to become the store manager of Mingyue Pavilion, return to the family business with head held high, and regain the respect of the elders.
He didn't want to become an outcast of the family.
Facing An Xin's suddenly serious face, Li Guan hurriedly pulled An Xin aside.
"Mr. An, I didn't mean to cause trouble. I'm just an ordinary person looking for a job. Please make an exception and give me a chance."
Li Guan took a red envelope from his pocket and stuffed it into An Xin's hand.
"There is fifty thousand in cash inside. Please do me a favor."
"Do you think I'm short of this fifty thousand?"
"The value I can bring you is definitely worth more than this fifty thousand. I have the support of my family. This is information about our family; you can take a look."
Businessmen do business for money.
Li Guan took the family information out of his bag and handed it to An Xin.
An Xin opened the document and began to read it carefully.
"Do the people in your family know you're doing this?"
