Everyone looked at Liu Rumei in unison.
Especially Xu Li's eyes, with a faint trace of resentment.
Liu Rumei held back her smile and said, "I'm sorry! I just thought of a funny joke, so I couldn't help laughing. Please ignore me and continue the interview!"
Then, she almost leaned onto Lin Beifan's body, exerting great effort to contain herself.
Lin Beifan reminded her in a low voice, "Stop laughing, I'm conducting an interview here, take it seriously!"
Liu Rumei instantly broke and laughed: "Hahahaha..."
Everyone else also broke into laughter: "Hahahaha..."
Xu Li just stared in disbelief.
You...
You are all bad people!
Only Lin Beifan did not smile: "Miss Xu, don't worry about them, please answer my previous question?"
"The reason I chose to apply here for the front desk position is because I'm tired of my previous job, so I want to change my work style and relax a bit, but I don't want to leave my profession completely! I heard that you value talent very highly Mr. Lin, so I'm here!"
The other party deserved to be a graduate of a famous school, her brain was flexible, and she immediately came up with a reason.
After asking two more questions, Lin Beifan shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, you don't meet our company's hiring standards!"
The other party refused to accept it: "Why not?"
"Because we are recruiting for the front desk! The front desk represents the face of our company. Education is not the key factor, but physical appearance is most important! You are a little old, and not young and beautiful enough to meet the standards for our front desk!"
Xu Li took out her mobile phone and took a selfie in confusion: "But I'm obviously very young and beautiful!"
Lin Beifan was expressionless: "Turn off the beauty filter first!"
Xu Li: "..."
Xu Li silently put down the phone.
"Okay, that's the situation. I look forward to the possibility of our future cooperation! Here is your resume back." Lin Beifan smiled and handed it over.
Xu Li took the resume, thought about it, and handed it back.
Lin Beifan looked puzzled: "What do you mean?"
Xu Li said resentfully, "Didn't you just say that I'm too old and not young and beautiful enough? Then I'll try applying for the cleaning lady position and see if I have a chance!"
Lin Beifan: "..."
Next, Lin Beifan interviewed the next candidate.
"Hello Mr. Lin! My name is Wang Yingtian, I'm 28 years old, and I majored in English at Fudan University! After college, I went to Harvard University for two years and obtained a master's degree! After graduation, I worked for Penguin Group for two years, engaged in foreign affairs translation work..."
The other party rattled off his qualifications confidently.
Lin Beifan nodded and scrutinized him: "But we're recruiting for the front desk. You're a man. Isn't that unsuitable for this job? Did you submit the wrong resume?"
"I didn't submit the wrong one, I think I have a great advantage for the front desk role!"
"Please elaborate!"
Wang Yingtian raised his head confidently.
"First, I majored in English at university, and then went to Harvard for further study. My bilingual skills can be switched freely, and communication is very smooth! Your company looks to have great development potential and will sooner or later go international, so my ability is very suitable for the company's needs!"
"Second, being a man is actually an advantage! Because I can't get pregnant, I won't often need leave to care for a baby, so I can devote all my energy to work! I can do things women can't, as well as what women can do, without getting fatigued!"
"Third, many people are tired of the stereotypical beauty at the front desk! If you recruit me, it will definitely give others a refreshing feeling, while also making the company seem professional!"
"Fourth, I have a good image and temperament! My height is 1.78 meters, but my weight is less than 140 pounds! Dressed up I look slim, undressed I have a toned physique! On the street, people often call me handsome, so I almost lost my sense of self..."
Lin Beifan just stared at him silently.
"So considering all that, it's perfect for the company to recruit me as the front desk!"
Wang Yingtian looked over the audience from all directions smugly!
Try competing with me for the front desk, you all should just go wash up and sleep!
Lin Beifan clapped his hands and applauded: "Well said!"
Wang Yingtian was overjoyed.
"But you're eliminated!"
Wang Yingtian's mentality collapsed: "Why?"
Lin Beifan pointed to himself: "Am I male or female?"
"Mr. Lin is of course a man!"
"Are the leaders of our company mostly male or female?"
"Mostly men!"
"That's right!" Lin Beifan slapped his thighs: "Since they are all men, do you think we will choose an attractive front desk lady to admire, or will we choose a popular man that disgusts us?"
Wang Yingtian: "..."
"You haven't even figured out the mindset of our leaders. Your emotional intelligence is obviously lacking!"
Wang Yingtian: "..."
"You don't even know yourself! You don't really think people are calling you handsome, do you? Think carefully, when people call you handsome, is it when you're paying them?"
Wang Yingtian: "..."
Lin Beifan shook his head and sighed: "You lack emotional intelligence, and self-awareness! So we won't give you such an important job as the front desk, please leave!"
Wang Yingtian clutched his wounded heart and silently took back his resume.
Then, he handed it back again.
Lin Beifan was stunned: "What do you want to do?"
"If I can't be the front desk, I want to apply for a job as a cleaner! As a cleaner, I don't need emotional intelligence and self-knowledge, right?"
Lin Beifan: "..."
After thinking it over, he said: "In terms of gender, there should be no requirements for that role, right?"
Lin Beifan just stared at him silently.
