Besides, Lin Yao had already rushed all the way to the Yueyang Building. But as she passed the typing shop, she suddenly remembered something.
Lin Yao stopped in her tracks, then proceeded to first print out the resume that she had just finished perfecting last night.
A minute later, with her newly printed resume in her hands, Lin Yao walked into the building and checked the time.
She ignored the weird looks the guards gave her, headed directly towards the elevator, then quickly pressed the button.
The Yueyang Building had a total of 26 floors, and she was headed to the top floor!
It was 16:15, and the elevator was completely empty.
Lin Yao seized the chance to tidy up her appearance using her reflection on the elevator door.
Through the reflection on the walls of the elevator, she saw a pale face. Her somewhat too youthful face was full of anxiety and confusion. Apart from these aspects, there was nothing wrong about her appearance.
With the sound of a chime, the elevator steadily stopped at the 26th floor.
A moment later, the elevator doors slowly opened.
Lin Yao walked out of the elevator and stepped onto the fluffy sky blue carpet.
There wasn’t anyone else in the hallway of the 26th floor. It was silent, so silent she felt as if she could hear her own heart beating.
“Ba-dum, ba-dum…”
On the snow white walls in front of her, there was an eye-catching sign: Lingyun Industry.
Lin Yao knew that besides bravely moving forward, she had no better choice!
“Hoo—” Lin Yao took in a deep breath, then using the somewhat hazy reflection on the glass door, she rearranged her hair and her clothes again. Only after confirming that nothing was wrong did she reach out to press the doorbell.
The sound, “Ding—Dong—” chimed.
A moment later, an attractive woman in a Burberry trench coat walked out. She was tall, and her makeup was perfectly done. She opened the glass door from the inside, then flashed a smile towards Lin Yao and asked, “You’re the one that just called, right?”
Lin Yao immediately felt a little flattered. “Yes, that was me!”
“Please come in!”
The attractive woman turned around, and Lin Yao immediately saw her waist-length chestnut-colored hair.
She indeed was an attractive woman. Every strand of her hair appeared to be carefully treated.
Lin Yao also discovered that the attractive woman had a pleasant scent, a scent she had never smelled before.
After passing through a bright and spacious large bay, the attractive woman led Lin Yao into an office approximately 50-60 square meters, and it had a floor-to-ceiling glass window that overlooked the entire Hucheng River in Hangzhou.
Furthermore, this office had its own restroom and lounge.
When Lin Yao snapped back to reality, she discovered that the other person had already sat down on a brand new beige leather couch, and she motioned for Lin Yao to sit down beside her.
Lin Yao sat down somewhat cautiously, and she respectfully handed over the resume that she just printed out. Since she was in a rush, she carried her resume in her hands after printing it, so the thin piece of paper was a bit crumpled.
At the moment, the overly simple resume was being held by a pale and slender, beautiful pair of hands.
The attractive woman’s hands were too beautiful. Each finger looked like carved porcelain-jade, and each fingernail was so perfect they looked like pieces of art.
Lin Yao stared somewhat dazedly, and then the other person suddenly asked her, “Do you smoke?”
“Huh? I don’t smoke.” Was this one of the interview questions?
“Do you mind if I smoke?”
“Um, feel free to do as you please!”
The attractive woman pursed her lips into a smile, then stood up to walk to her large office desk. She picked up a somewhat heavy crystal ashtray and placed it on the table in front of her.
The attractive woman appeared to be over 170 cm tall and was wearing a long beige cashmere sweater beneath her trench coat, while a long pair of model-like legs stuck out from underneath.
She wore a pair of long knee-length boots with heels that were at least 10 cm, which further accentuated how tall, alluring, and breathtaking she appeared.
The attractive woman crossed her long, beautiful legs, then pulled out a slim cigarette. She lit it skillfully and forcefully inhaled. A moment later, she slowly breathed out a puff of smoke.
Through the misty haze of smoke, Lin Yao saw that the attractive woman had furrowed her brows slightly.
The attractive woman held Lin Yao’s resume in her hand, so as soon as she frowned, Lin Yao felt her heart leap to her throat.
But the woman didn’t say anything, and after a brief glance, she placed the resume on the table.
The attractive woman lounged on the sofa lazily, and she slowly smoked her cigarette.
Lin Yao reassessed herself inside. Her highest level of education was an associate’s degree, and she had an IV Level Certificate in College English—her qualifications were rather unimpressive.
Her height didn’t even reach 160 cm—this would be considered a flaw in many workplaces.
Therefore, in the eyes of this attractive woman, with her white T-shirt and washed-out jeans, she probably lacked the air of sophistication to appear in formal settings, right?
No wonder she didn’t even bother asking common interviews questions such as what level her English was at or how good her oral English was…
After the attractive woman slowly finished smoking the cigarette in her hands, she finally opened her mouth to speak.
“Your name is Lin Yao?”
“Yes!” Lin Yao quickly sat more upright, and she prepared for the interview to start.
“Are you satisfied with this place so far?”
“Yes, I’m satisfied!” Lin Yao didn’t hesitate at all.
Speaking of this, there really wasn’t much nitpicking to be done in terms of Lingyun industry’s workplace environment.
Lin Yao remembered that from the moment she stepped out of the elevator, thick carpet covered the floor wherever she walked.
This carpet was especially fluffy and was no doubt extremely high quality. Even though the attractive woman was wearing thin heels, there was no sound as she walked.
The office of Lingyun Industry was quiet and spacious, lavish and sophisticated. It was a workplace from one’s dreams!
“When can you come to work?”
“Huh?” Lin Yao was once again caught off guard. Did these words truly mean what she thought they meant?”
“Have you finished the leaving procedures at your last company?”
“Yes.”
“Then come to work as soon as you can.”
Even though Lin Yao was doubting her ears a little, she still replied with extreme certainty.
“Okay!”
Until she walked out of Yueyang Building, Lin Yao still felt as if everything that happened had been a dream.
She still couldn’t believe that she landed a new job this easily!
Not that long ago, she felt as if her world was filled with dark, gloomy clouds, and her future prospects were dim. But in the blink of an eye, she passed through those dark clouds, and she discovered that the sky above her head was already radiating with brightness, and there was a brilliant rainbow beaming at her from not that far away.
“Bus Route No. 55, driving towards Wulin Square…”
An electronic sound interrupted Lin Yao from her daydreaming, and she realized that the bus she wanted to ride was right in front of her.
Lin Yao quickly grabbed her little handbag and rushed towards the bus stop, but she was still a step too late. She had just reached the bus stop when Bus Route No. 55 started to drive away.
Perhaps the occurrences in life were like this as well. You never know what will happen next.
But Lin Yao’s good mood wasn’t affected, and she giggled as she walked down Stadium Road merrily.
If she could, she would tell everyone on the streets in a loud voice, “I got a new job! Haha, I have a job again!”
