97: Chapter 97 Shut up! I forgive you!

3:00 PM.

A long table was set up in the conference room. Qin Xun sat in the middle, with Cheng Wan on his left and Xia Ning on his right.

There was a large open space in the middle.

A row of eight chairs was placed at the back.

Eight job applicants were sitting on them.

On one side of the conference room were the building's floor-to-ceiling windows, and the wall opposite was also made of transparent soundproof glass, with the curtains drawn to block the view from outsiders.

This was to prevent company colleagues from peeking at the interview.

Cheng Wan opened with a smile and made some polite remarks.

"Thank you all for choosing Oak Tree..."

Qin Xun looked at the eight job applicants sitting below, lowered his voice, and asked Xia Ning.

"Why are there still 3 men?"

Xia Ning kept a straight face, her voice cold.

"I told Sister Cheng to write 'gender unrestricted'."

Qin Xun: "..."

He knew that Xia Ning, that stingy person, must be holding a grudge for several years because she had accidentally exposed herself and then saw him do the same.

...

Without hearing clearly what Cheng Wan said, the 8 people below applauded with expectant looks on their faces.

Cheng Wan turned her head to look at Qin Xun.

"Next, I would like to invite our Oak Company Vice President, who is also a red-hot internet celebrity, President Qin Xun, to conduct the interviews for everyone."

Another round of applause erupted from below, lasting for a long time.

They had been browsing job sites casually and were surprised to see a recruitment advertisement for Oak Company.

It was the company whose promotional video, "I Speak for Myself," was still going viral online.

They immediately felt very lucky.

When they clicked on the details, they saw it was for an assistant to Qin Xun himself. Wouldn't that mean they could be by his side every day?

Being by an expert's side always leads to quick growth.

So, they all submitted their resumes and waited with nervous anticipation.

To their surprise, they received an interview invitation for the afternoon.

It was like a dream!

After the applause died down.

Qin Xun stood up with a smile and spoke in a clear, loud voice.

"Everyone, I am someone who is used to working alone, but ever since I had a thoughtful little assistant by my side..."

He pointed at Xia Ning, who was wearing professional attire.

"That is to say, after meeting the beautiful Xia Ning, I realized the truth of the saying, 'a hero needs three helpers'."

"The more capable the assistant, the more capable I can be."

Xia Ning looked up at Qin Xun, a bit confused about what he meant.

Seeing the 8 people below all looking at her, she felt a bit embarrassed.

Then she heard Qin Xun continue.

"In the future, whoever becomes my assistant, I hope you will keep one thing in mind."

Saying this, he paused on purpose.

Xia Ning looked up at him.

Cheng Wan also looked up.

The 8 job applicants below also looked at him eagerly.

Qin Xun's voice rose a little.

"You don't have to listen to me."

"But you must listen to Xia Ning."

"Your direct supervisor is her, not me."

Seeing the 8 job applicants below nodding repeatedly, he smiled with satisfaction.

Suddenly.

Qin Xun felt his pant leg being tugged. He looked down and saw it was Xia Ning.

She quietly spread a piece of paper on the table, which read:

["Shut up! I forgive you!"]

Cheng Wan glanced at it, and her eyes lit up.

Oh~!

Something's going on!

The 8 interviewees below looked at each other, the same thought popping into their minds.

Are they showing off their affection here?

Qin Xun smiled lightly, hiding his merit and fame.

This little Xia Ning looks cold, but she's actually just a shy girl with a soft heart and is very attentive.

She was able to buy clothes for me by 8:00 AM.

How early must she have gotten up?

She must have gotten up early in the morning to go to the big supermarket to buy them, and the size was actually correct.

Besides my mom, who could be this good to me?

Qin Xun was a bit moved and said loudly.

"Beautiful Xia Ning, I respect her like a mother!"

"I hope that after you become members of Oak Company in the future, you will also respect her like a mother!"

The job applicants below opened their mouths wide, looking at Qin Xun, then at Xia Ning.

Cheng Wan narrowed her eyes slightly, a half-smile on her face.

Oh!

President Qin has a mother complex!

Xia Ning crumpled the paper on the table into a ball, her breathing slightly chaotic, thinking, "I will definitely deal with him when we get home tonight."

Uh...

Why does that sound so familiar?

Oh, Mom often says that.

...

Qin Xun looked at the interviewees below and smiled.

"The reason I am hiring an assistant this time is because there is a 10 million big project to be done soon."

"A strategic brand upgrade and renovation for 2,000 Dudu Tea stores nationwide."

"I need help!"

Hearing this.

The job applicants were immediately fired up, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.

What?

Can we really handle such a big project just after joining?

He truly is the number one internet celebrity right now; he really plays for high stakes!

They all straightened their already straight postures even more, hoping to leave a good impression on Qin Xun.

Qin Xun looked at their reactions and was even more satisfied.

"And for me, I only look at one point when hiring an assistant."

"Whether their psychological quality is good, and whether their ability to withstand pressure is strong."

The job applicants nodded earnestly.

They understood; after all, a 10 million big project definitely requires frequent overnight overtime.

The ability to withstand pressure must be strong.

Qin Xun walked out from behind the table, went to the open space in the middle, and looked at them with a smile.

"So, now I am going to assess you. The interviewees who pass the assessment can enter the next round."

"But regardless of whether you can enter the next round, you will all receive a labor fee of 200 yuan."

Hearing this, the job applicants looked pleasantly surprised, some unable to believe it.

Can we get 200 yuan just by coming for an interview?

Some companies don't even pay wages if you get fired during the internship!

Is President Qin this generous?

Is this company's benefits this good?

Then I must get in!

Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun, frowning slightly, not knowing what tricks he wanted to play again.

Cheng Wan looked at Qin Xun's back, feeling a bit emotional.

Just a while ago, he was still an intern, always looking so obedient and well-behaved.

Now that he's a boss, his aura is much stronger, and he hands out 200 yuan just like that!

Qin Xun looked around, in a very good mood.

These days, the slacking-off value hasn't increased much. Today, I'll let go and play, see if I can get a bigger increase.

He looked at the job applicants sitting below and said with a smile.

"I will teach you a song that you need to learn. Whoever learns it well can advance to the next round."

"And have the opportunity to travel all over the country with me to build a national milk tea brand."

Hearing this, the expressions of some job applicants changed immediately.

Sing in public?

Ah... so embarrassing.

While others raised their eyebrows, looking full of confidence.

Suddenly.

Qin Xun started to sing.

"Looking for the sun in a windless place"

"Being the warm sun in the place where you are cold"

"People coming and going"

"You are always too naive"

As soon as he started singing.

His low, magnetic voice gave many people present goosebumps.

A girl among the job applicants couldn't help but scream, then quickly covered her mouth.

She had seen Qin Xun sing "For You" on Douyin; that was also an a cappella performance, but he had used a microphone and had the benefit of reverb.

Moreover, some people on the internet suspected it was lip-syncing.

Seeing it with her own eyes now, she couldn't help but be greatly shocked, her eyes filled with admiration.

Xia Ning looked at Qin Xun's back, somewhat shocked, her gaze softening.

Suddenly.

She saw Qin Xun turn around, looking at her, his eyes actually filled with tears, looking deeply affectionate.

"For the rest of my life"

"I only want you"

"For the rest of my life"

"The wind and snow are you"

"The plainness is you"

"The poverty is also you"

...

Xia Ning met Qin Xun's teary eyes and was instantly stunned, as if a feather were gently tickling the tip of her heart.

It was itchy.

And numb.

And also slightly stinging.

She subconsciously clenched her fists, lowered her eyes, feeling a bit conflicted.

Is he confessing in public?

Because... he was seen by me, and he wants me to take responsibility?

Or did he have crooked thoughts about me after seeing my...?

Reject him?

But... if he gets rejected in front of so many people, wouldn't it be too embarrassing for him?
