My Wild Wife in Shanghai

Chen Ye ranked ninth in the first round of interviews.

Chen Ye hadn't made any mistakes, yet he was unfairly penalized a lot of points, which made him very angry.

He felt that the interviewer was deliberately nitpicking and trying to lower his score.

Another young store manager also scored at the bottom.

The store manager's name was Sun Tao. Although he was young, he had been working in society since he graduated from junior high school, so he had a lot of social experience.

"Ugh, this interview process is so unfair!" Sun Tao said indignantly. "I think it's just for show, a formality. The list of those who advance has probably already been decided beforehand, hasn't it?"

"It's already decided?" Chen Ye leaned closer and asked, "How did you know?"

Sun Tao frowned: "Isn't this how all big corporations operate?"

Immediately realizing his words were inappropriate, Sun Tao quickly tried to justify himself, "Hehe, well, I was just saying it casually, don't take it seriously!"

After all, if his remarks were used against him, he wouldn't even be able to stay as store manager.

But Chen Ye wasn't stupid; he was enlightened by Sun Tao's words.

No wonder!

These examiners actually found some unfounded charges to deduct points from themselves, just to kick them out and make room for other candidates!

Damn! That's so sneaky!

The more you try to do this, the less I'll let you guys succeed.

He took out his phone, intending to call Bai Xueyan to report the matter.

However, he thought that he had no evidence at all, and that telling Bai Xueyan these things would only make him seem pretentious.

It seems I can only rely on myself for this.

During his break, Chen Ye sat down in a corner and began to think of a solution.

The interview consisted of three rounds.

The first round is the preliminary test, the second round is the retest, and the third round is the final test.

The first round of interviews is for junior managers, the second round is for middle and senior managers, and the third round is for senior managers and top managers at the president level.

Bai Xueyan will participate in the third round of interviews.

However, given Chen Ye's current situation, he probably won't be able to see Bai Xueyan.

Because the first and second rounds of interviews already determine one's fate.

The third round of interviews was just a formality, a way to let the senior leaders see the demeanor of this year's finalists.

Therefore, this second round of interviews is especially important; it's a do-or-die situation.

Chen Ye closed his eyes slightly, his mind racing, trying to find a way to break the deadlock...

... ...

Soon, the break was over, and the second round of interviews began.

This round of interviews will eliminate five people.

Those who are eliminated will be kicked out immediately.

The remaining five people who advanced will all pass the third round unless they make any fundamental mistakes.

Chen Ye was the third person to go in for the interview.

This time, the interviewers were much larger than the last time.

There were five interviewers in total, three women and two men.

One of them was the main interviewer in the first round, and the other four were newly added interviewers, all of whom were middle and senior managers of the group.

The interviewers first asked Chen Ye to introduce himself, and then took turns asking him a series of questions.

Then, based on Chen Ye's performance, each person gave Chen Ye a score.

Each interview lasts approximately fifteen minutes.

There was clearly not enough time in the morning.

By the time we interviewed the sixth person, it was lunchtime.

The second half of the second round and the third round of interviews will both be held in the afternoon.

"Everyone, enjoy your meal and rest well, and strive to perform well this afternoon."

The department staff who organized the interviews gave meal tickets to the interviewees.

But Chen Ye's meal ticket was not used.

Because Zhou Jinyu treated him to lunch at noon.

"What would you like to eat? It's on me!"

Zhou Jinyu, unconcerned about the stares of others, stepped forward and took Chen Ye's arm, appearing very happy.

She looked beautiful today, wearing a beige fitted knit sleeveless top and a red suspender skirt.

The knitted fabric provides excellent coverage, perfectly highlighting her full upper body. The red halter-neck fitted dress accentuates her waist and hip curves, exuding sexiness without being ostentatious.

Especially when she walks, the silk skirt sways with her steps, revealing her long, white, and beautiful legs, making it impossible for anyone to look away.

"Jinyu, you look so beautiful today!" Chen Ye couldn't help but exclaim.

"When am I not beautiful?" Zhou Jinyu said.

In fact, her current radiance is largely due to Chen Ye's help.

Chen Ye cured her insomnia and excessive dreaming. She can now sleep soundly for seven or eight hours every day and wake up feeling refreshed and energetic.

She was already a beauty when she had insomnia, but now she is even more radiant, captivating the hearts of countless young men in the company.

"What do you want to eat? You haven't said yet!" Zhou Jinyu asked.

"I can do anything!" Chen Ye said.

"You're really not a picky eater, so easy to feed!" Zhou Jin teased. "In that case, you'll eat whatever I eat!"

"Can!"

The two went to a sushi restaurant across the street, and Zhou Jinyu ordered a table full of delicious food.

Seeing that Chen Ye wasn't very interested, he asked:

"Why are you unhappy? Did your interview this morning go badly?"

"Hmm!" Chen Ye nodded. "The situation isn't very optimistic."

As they were talking, several more people walked into the store. One of them was a female store manager named Li Qian, who had come for the interview with her.

Li Qian is in her thirties. She is of average appearance but has a good figure and can be considered feminine.

She was very arrogant and never looked Chen Ye in the eye. If others didn't know better, they would think she was the boss.

"Why isn't the situation optimistic?"

Zhou Jinyu's words drew Chen Ye's attention back to him.

Chen Ye frowned and said, "I ranked last in the first round. My score will be weighted at 20% in the second round of interviews. In other words, I failed at the very first step!"

Zhou Jinyu frowned: "How could this be? Didn't you say you were fully prepared? Besides, you had the best performance among the ten store managers this time, so the interviewers would have been more lenient."

Chen Ye sneered: "I thought so too at the time, but on the contrary, the interviewer deliberately found fault with me and deducted points from my score by nitpicking."

"Did you offend them?" Zhou Jinyu frowned slightly.

"No!" Chen Ye shook his head.

"Why is that?" Zhou Jinyu asked, puzzled.

"I don't know either!" Chen Ye said, "But I heard from a store manager that the list of those who will advance has already been decided."

"Uh!" Zhou Jinyu shook her head helplessly: "Indeed, the waters here run deep. I've only been here for a month, but I've already felt it strongly. Many people will stop at nothing to climb the ladder."

However, at that moment, a discordant voice came from the side: "Are you kidding me?"

The speaker was Li Qian from the next table. She deliberately spoke loudly, "Shanghai Group has always been fair and impartial. The interviewers are all very professional and strict, but some people just have a penchant for conspiracy theories. Sigh, they just won't admit they're incompetent!"

Although Li Qian wasn't speaking directly to Chen Ye, she deliberately raised her voice, clearly trying to provoke him.

In reality, she was a female store manager who had no bottom line in order to advance in the interview.

She used both her mouths last night and struggled for half the night before finally getting a pre-selected spot for advancement.

Chen Ye's conversation with Zhou Jinyu struck a chord with her.
