The interview lasted about twenty minutes. Out of the five candidates, three would be selected. Li Xuan would choose one as his secretary, and the other two would join the administrative department as assistants.
Li Xuan listened to the performances of the job candidates with a somewhat absent-minded air. Zhuang Erjing's performance was not outstanding; she hardly managed to say a few words throughout the process. On the contrary, another woman with black-rimmed glasses and a slightly large face was quite aggressive, forcing the other three men to be speechless.
Unfortunately, Li Xuan was a senior member of the "looks club." Why would he choose someone unattractive to annoy himself when he could have a beautiful woman to add fragrance to his life? Selecting a secretary was not the same as selecting a CEO; ability was secondary. What mattered most was that he found her pleasing to the eye and easy to work with.
So, the world was indeed unfair. Everyone thought the exam hadn't ended and was desperately showcasing their abilities. In reality, Li Xuan, the chief examiner, had already made his decision before entering the examination room. One could only say that he was not a qualified company leader. If everyone selected people based on appearance like him, the future of Oriental Electronics would be bleak.
Fortunately, Li Xuan had some self-awareness and was willing to be a hands-off boss. He only oversaw the company's major development directions, leaving the specific execution to executives like Han Peng, He Guoyuan, and Wang Ying.
After the interview, Li Xuan found Zhuang Erjing's name on the list, circled it with a pen, and silently handed it to the HR director, Wei Wei, who nodded to indicate she understood.
"Hey, Li Xuan, you work here too!"
Li Xuan didn't wear a name tag and had chosen a corner seat in the meeting room, so he hadn't caught the attention of the other candidates, except for Zhuang Erjing.
Zhuang Erjing ran to catch up with Li Xuan, called out to him, and greeted him, but then didn't know what to say. After their last meeting, she thought he would definitely contact her, but Li Xuan treated her like a stranger, seemingly forgetting her and never contacting her again.
This made Zhuang Erjing feel a bit disappointed. Today, they met again by chance, and he didn't seem prepared to greet her, so she had to take the initiative.
Li Xuan stared at her beautiful red lips, recalling the kiss from before, which tasted quite good. Zhuang Erjing's appearance today was completely different from the last time he saw her. She wore a black suit with a white blouse, her long, slender legs encased in flesh-colored stockings, presenting a fresh and elegant look of a modern woman. Her beautiful, delicate face exuded a professional charm.
Zhuang Erjing also noticed his invasive gaze, feeling a mix of shyness and anger. That was her first kiss, and it was taken by this scoundrel.
In school, Zhuang Erjing was a famous beauty, with countless boys from her school and others secretly admiring her. Her backpack often contained love letters and chocolates slipped in secretly. She enjoyed the feeling of being pampered and surrounded by boys.
Zhuang Erjing considered herself a love expert, understanding the minds of these young boys. She had dated many boyfriends in school but was very protective of herself, allowing boys to hold her hand at most. Men were easily manipulated by her with her outstanding appearance and cunning mind.
However, with Li Xuan, she found that her usual charm didn't work. His deep, penetrating eyes and his slightly wicked, carefree smile made her feel as if she was being seen through. This sense of constraint was like standing naked in front of him.
Li Xuan, on the other hand, gave Zhuang Erjing a very mysterious impression. That night, he solved her problem with just a few words. She had heard of the Hele Hall, and the man who insisted she accompany him for drinks, Xi Weng Jun, was said to be a powerful figure in the Hele Hall. Li Xuan didn't even need to meet him to resolve the issue.
During the interview, Zhuang Erjing had been observing Li Xuan's actions. The other interviewers were very serious, but Li Xuan seemed distracted. However, everyone, including the HR director Wei, seemed to ignore this.
When Li Xuan whispered to the person next to him, the others treated him with great respect. Based on the information Zhuang Erjing had gathered, Oriental Electronics had a very standardized management system. She had felt the company's rigorous attitude during her previous interviews.
But Li Xuan was the only employee she had encountered who didn't wear a name tag. All these details made Li Xuan's image in her mind seem shrouded in a mist.
"Come on, beautiful Zhuang, what are you daydreaming about?" Li Xuan reached out and gently tapped her nose, bringing Zhuang Erjing back to her senses.
Before she could express her dissatisfaction with his frivolous action, Li Xuan had already walked away. She gritted her teeth and followed him angrily.
Li Xuan directly entered the chairman's office. Oriental Electronics was actually Li Xuan's personal sole proprietorship, with no board of directors. However, to distinguish himself from the executive president, Han Peng, the company had hung a chairman's sign on Li Xuan's office.
Seeing Li Xuan walk into the chairman's office without stopping, Zhuang Erjing's eyes sparkled. She didn't even notice the scrutinizing gaze of Cao Jingya, who was sitting at the secretary's desk outside the office, and followed Li Xuan in.
Li Xuan was already leaning back in his chair, smiling at her, and then called out to Cao Jingya, "Aya, come in for a moment!"
Cao Jingya, hearing Li Xuan's call, reluctantly stood up and entered the office.
"This is my new secretary, Miss Zhuang Erjing. From now on, you are responsible for helping her get familiar with the daily work," Li Xuan instructed directly.
Zhuang Erjing stood there, stunned. She had applied for an administrative assistant position, so how did she end up as the secretary to the big boss of Oriental Electronics? This was a well-known and well-paid company in Hong Kong!
Could it be that the true boss behind the Oriental Electronics, which was called a new giant in Hong Kong's electronics industry by the *Sing Tao Daily*, was this young man of her age?
"Miss Zhuang! Miss Zhuang!" Cao Jingya called out twice before Zhuang Erjing came to her senses.
Seeing Cao Jingya's displeased expression, she quickly apologized and followed Cao Jingya out of the office, starting her first day at Oriental Electronics.
Li Xuan sat comfortably in his office, feeling very relaxed. As the saying goes, when there's work, the secretary does it; when there's no work, they do... That sounded too perverted. Li Xuan considered himself a decent man. At most, he might hold the secretary's hand, joke around, and flirt a bit, but he wouldn't lose control in inappropriate situations! But having a beautiful woman as a secretary was certainly a delightful thing!
