The interview process was surprisingly simple. The interviewer sitting in the middle only asked her name, date of birth, and school she graduated from, and then asked her to go back and wait for the notification.
This was completely different from what she thought. Shouldn’t she be asked what her specialties were, what her expectations were for the future, what she thought of pharmaceutical companies, etc.? She had prepared a lot of answers but all of them were in vain.
She went out with a smile on her face but full of doubts in her heart. She had to be calm to the people outside and not show it.
“How was it? Can you tell me which position was assigned to you?” Wang Bin was the one who was most concerned about the results of Ye Ning’s interview.
“I don’t know the result yet. They asked me to go back and wait for notification.” Little did she know that the leader inside didn’t reveal anything. She kept smiling and couldn’t guess.
Ye Ning looked around at the people waiting for the interview. Most of them were the children of cadres. They probably wouldn’t be able to get good positions. She just hoped that Wang Yao’s uncle could give her a more relaxed position for Wang Yao’s sake.
Now that the interview was over, Ye Ning wanted to go out and look for a house. In this era, there was no Internet and no intermediary, so it was not easy to find a house that you liked.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw a girl running in. “I want to see the factory director. I’m not late. Why should I be disqualified from the exam?”
“I’ve already told you that it was cancelled because you were late for the exam.” He chased after her. It was the woman named that day.
It went without saying who this girl was. She must be Zhang Yunyun, the daughter of the unlucky Team Leader Zhang.
During the written test that day, Ye Ning vaguely heard a girl crying outside in the examination room. Soon there was no movement. The test was about to start, so she didn’t pay much attention. Anyway, she didn’t see Zhang Yunyun after the test.
It took almost a week from the written test to the interview, and it would have been solved as soon as possible. But seeing that the factory followed Director Yan’s instructions, there were only two possibilities. One was that the Factory Director Liu who Team Leader Zhang was following was incompetent and there was no way to fight with the person behind Director Yan. The other was that Factory Director Liu pulled Team Leader Zhang’s daughter out to block the hatred. Wang Bin also said that Director Liu vetoed an important proposal from Director Wu, which showed that Director Liu still had the ability, then it could only be the second possibility.
Ye Ning looked at the completely unaware Zhang Yunyun making trouble and shook her head in her heart. She had never been out of society and didn’t understand anything. Could it be that her father didn’t know either? The result of making trouble at this time was to trample Director Liu’s face to the ground. Originally, Director Liu might find a chance to make amends because of this incident, but now she was afraid it would be difficult.
“I arrived at nine-fifty, how was I late?” Zhang Yunyun said this, turning her head to look at a girl with resentful eyes, “Wu Xiuzhu, we are such good friends, you actually lied to me?”
“When did I lie to you, don’t talk nonsense.” Wu Xiuzhu looked like a mouse whose tail had been stepped on.
“You said that our family building is close to the examination room. You asked me to come with you at 8:30. I went to your house to find you at 8:30, but you left first, causing me to be disqualified from the examination. If you hadn’t been guilty, why have you been avoiding me these past few days? Also, I was not late at all.” Zhang Yunyun looked aggrieved. Her father told her to forget it and said she could take the exam next time, but she was unwilling to do so. For this exam, she had been preparing for so long, the person named Yan disqualified her with just one sentence. Why? She was clearly not late.
“What’s the fuss about?” A commotion was heard inside, and a man came out. He was one of the three examiners interviewing them this time.
“Director Liu, I was clearly not late, but Director Yan cancelled my qualification. I refuse to accept it, and I wanted to ask you to give me another chance to take the exam.” Zhang Yunyun’s eyes suddenly lit up when she saw Director Liu coming out, and she said loudly.
Factory Director Liu’s expression did not change, but he was a little angry. That old Zhang had promised him to forget about this matter for now. Then he would definitely have found a way to let his daughter enter the factory later. Why did she end up in the examination room then?
“I already know about this. Others have arrived early, so why are you the only one who was late? You are not progressive in your thinking. As workers, we must always be ready to contribute to the country, the people, and our factory. So when Director Yan mentioned it to me, I personally thought it was right.” Factory Manager Liu saw Zhang Yunyun’s aggrieved look and wanted to say something else, so he raised his hand and said, “If you are wrong, you should correct it. If you know it is wrong, don’t change and disrupt other people’s interviews, then not only this time, but the next time also you will be disqualified.”
Zhang Yunyun was in tears and dared not speak. She didn’t understand why Uncle Liu, who had been so kind to her in the past, would say these things, and she was disqualified from this exam by Director Yan, all because of him.
At this time, a man with a look of slight vicissitude of life came in breathing heavily. Seeing his daughter with a wronged face, he felt uncomfortable in his heart. He scolded angrily, “I told you to let it go and think about it at home. Why did you come here?” Then he looked at Factory Manager Liu with an apologetic look, “Director, my daughter has been spoiled by my family and is a little ignorant. I will take her home and teach her well.”
Factory Manager Liu nodded, “Lao Zhang has always been dedicated to his work, which is good, but he can’t just focus on his work and ignore his children. Children must be taught well, right?”
“Yes, I will teach her well, and Yunyun, you still haven’t apologized to the factory director.” Team leader Zhang pressed Zhang Yunyun to apologize, and then dragged her back.
“Okay, let’s continue the interview. Next, Wang Bin.” Director Liu glanced at everyone majestically, as if nothing happened just now.
Ye Ning glanced at the few people who had not returned after the interview, and sat silently in the corner. Okay, just wait, work was still necessary.
It was already noon when everyone’s interviews got over. The leaders came out to see everyone but didn’t go back. They didn’t know whether they were satisfied or dissatisfied. They said in a reproachful tone: “Why are you still here? Everyone go back quickly.”
“Wait a minute.” The leader sitting in the middle said, “I see that everyone hasn’t eaten yet. Let’s go to the cafeteria for lunch.”
“Why are you still standing there? Why don’t you thank the factory manager quickly.” Factory Manager Liu looked at a group of ignorant children.
The ignorant children thanked them in unison, and then followed the leaders to the canteen.
Ye Ning followed behind. She had never been in the system and was a little uncomfortable with it. Now she was doubting whether this choice was the right one.
Everbright was a pillar industry in Huanshan County. What was a pillar industry? The economy of the entire county was supported by this enterprise, and the treatment of workers in the factory was naturally the best in the county. Whether it was good or bad in this era could be seen from the canteen. Ye Ning took the dinner plate and followed everyone to prepare a meal, one meat and two vegetables. There was also a soup, which was definitely a rare treat these days.
“We are lucky. We are served pig’s feet today.” Wang Bin came to Ye Ning with a dinner plate. “The cafeteria has meat dishes three days a week. Usually there are two vegetarian dishes. If you want to eat meat dishes, you have to pay extra.”
It turned out that it was not the same every day that there were all meat dishes. Ye Ning nodded to show that she understood. She originally planned to sit alone, and she felt like the only person that seemed out of place, but these people were obviously divided into several factions. She didn’t know who was who except for their names, and she didn’t dare to make mistakes, but it turned out that Wang Bin came to her side first, and now it seemed more embarrassing for her to avoid him. As a result, she ended up with Wang Bin and the others unknowingly. In the eyes of others, she had become Wang Bin’s group member.
Four people sat at a table. As soon as Ye Ning sat down, the leader who had invited them for the meal passed by their table and asked kindly: “How is it? Are you still used to eating?” The four people quickly put down their chopsticks, stood up and said: “The food is very good, leader.”
Wang Bin and others had been eating here since they were young, so there was nothing they were not used to. Only Ye Ning is eating here for the first time. She smiled shyly, “It’s delicious.”
“If it’s delicious, eat more. Only when you’re full can you work.” The leader glanced at Ye Ning, said nothing more, and turned to his seat to eat.
