I told them to wait in the reception room by 9 AM, and they're all there now. I'll call them in one by one right away."
Norman stepped forward and opened a document.
"These are their profiles, please take a look."
After Norman left, Aaron glanced at the first file.
Gender: Felicia?
Gender: Female
Age: 21
Marital Status: Single (no dating history, medical report attached)
... Aaron raised an eyebrow. Interesting.
He flipped through a few more pages.
Good heavens, this medical examination was even more detailed and comprehensive than a premarital checkup!
Woman, you have successfully caught my attention!
After looking at the profile picture a few more times, Aaron realized why she looked somewhat familiar. This woman was Harry Osborn's secretary in The Amazing Spider-Man 2.
And she had a unique charm.
The first profile already surprised him.
Aaron subconsciously opened the second one.
He glanced at it, and his expression changed.
Damn it, there's an insider, stop the transaction!
PS: The protagonist's golden finger, the Primordial Furnace, has no self-awareness. It is the protagonist, and the protagonist is it. The two are one. The protagonist is still the protagonist and can ask and answer questions from the protagonist's perspective!!!
I'm an experienced author, I've been around the forums, so I have this awareness of avoiding pitfalls. So feel free to read with confidence.

Chapter 12: Stepping into the door with the left foot first, you're fired!
Knock knock knock—
"The door's not closed, come in!"
Aaron lay on a chair worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, looking straight ahead.
A woman in a standard black suit, with long black hair, expressive big eyes, and sensuous lips, gracefully approached.
She said nothing, but first proactively poured Aaron a glass of plain water. This was something Aaron had specifically asked Norman to arrange, as he didn't really drink coffee.
However, Felicia deduced Aaron's preference from the residue in the cup.
She then tidied Aaron's desk before sitting directly in front of him.
Seemingly sensing Aaron's gaze, she didn't sit primly like other interviewees, but rather crossed her legs, making her black stockings more prominent.
At the same time, a gentle smile played on her face.
Although it looked fluid, Aaron still noticed a certain unfamiliarity and stiffness in her movements, clearly the result of recent emergency training.
Her height was fine, definitely 178 cm, and in heels, she was almost as tall as Aaron.
Her measurements were also fine, what should be prominent was prominent, what should be slender was slender. Not bad!
After careful sensing, her pheromones also gave him plenty of information.
Felicia wasn't wearing heavy makeup, just a very light touch, very faint.
So, she was practically barefaced.
If she were to dress up a bit more, her score would be even higher.
Aaron was confident in his judgment.
My eyes are like a ruler; one glance and one sniff, and I can tell if it's all-natural or a complete reconstruction.
Felicia boldly presented herself, allowing Aaron to scrutinize her.
"You haven't been in a relationship? Why not?"
Aaron didn't ask about work-related matters. They were all adults; there was no need for games.
You prepared like this, I asked like this, no problem!
Felicia said nervously, "I live in a Christian family, and premarital sex is not allowed."
"And I'm not interested in those little brats. I just want to study, make something of myself! Find someone taller than me, stronger than me, and if he has the same hair color as me, even better."
Oh, woman, you're quite clever. You're practically saying it's me!
Aaron smiled, "Christian? Do you believe?"
"I can choose not to!" Felicia pursed her lips.
So you don't believe, huh? Turns out she's a rebellious woman, but she clearly understands her strengths and goals.
A smart woman.
Aaron didn't mind a woman being smart, because no matter how smart she was, she would never be able to manipulate him!
On the contrary, sometimes cleverness backfires.
"You're still a student at Empire State University? A female college student?"
Aaron then added, "Your work will be very busy. I have a lot of things to do."
Felicia said earnestly, "No problem! Becoming your secretary and working at Oscorp Industries, the school will consider it and give me enough internship time."
"Then I just need to go back and complete my exams, and if I pass them all, I can graduate smoothly. It definitely won't affect my work here!"
"In fact, I've already completed my studies ahead of schedule and can apply for early graduation at any time!"
Felicia said confidently, not at all worried about not having time to study.
Hearing this, Aaron said nothing more.
"I've read your resume, you're excellent!"
"All your grades are excellent, and you're enthusiastic and proactive, participating in activities including but not limited to yoga, dance, music, and playing the flute."
"And you've also studied management, finance, and other courses, which perfectly meet the requirements of this recruitment."
Aaron stood up and extended his hand, "I hope we have a pleasant cooperation in the future!"
Felicia covered her mouth in surprise, then quickly stood up to shake his hand.
"If there's an opportunity, I hope to see you play the flute sometime. I also have some understanding of this instrument."
Aaron's meaning was profound.
Felicia nodded emphatically, "Of course, my boss!"
"Are we going to continue interviewing the remaining candidates?"
Felicia quickly settled into her role.
She was somewhat anxious, seizing every opportunity to demonstrate her abilities and usefulness.
In fact, she wasn't confident that she would get this opportunity.
As a current university student, she had no advantage compared to the other interviewees.
And this was the only secretary position for the CEO of Oscorp Industries!
This was an unmissable opportunity!
Even if she was successfully hired now, she dared not be careless.
Because among the applicants, there was another formidable rival.
That woman was no less capable than her, perhaps even more outstanding.
Fortunately, she was the first interviewee, otherwise, she really wouldn't have been confident in standing out among the applicants.
If it had been that woman, perhaps it wouldn't be her by Aaron's side right now.
"No need, you alone are enough."
"Let's go."
Aaron shook his head, no longer spending time dealing with the remaining applicants.
The rest were also excellent, but most were not as good as Felicia.
The only one who could rival her was an insider.
Since that was the case, it was better to send them all back.
He could slowly look for other secretaries later.
Felicia nodded, holding a document, and quickly followed behind Aaron.
The two left the CEO's office, entered the elevator, and arrived at the floor of the reception room.
A woman with long red hair, wearing a seductive black dress, walked towards them.
When she saw Aaron, she subtly glanced at Felicia, then said enthusiastically and sweetly, "Hello, Boss, I..."
Aaron ignored her, walked straight out of the elevator, and at the same time said to the anxious Felicia beside him,
"Remember that woman just now. She stepped into the company with her left foot first. Fire her immediately!"
"Ah?!"
The people walking around paused, and one person even stumbled, almost falling.
Those in the distance who were pretending to work, with their ears perked up, all looked over.
The red-haired woman, as the person involved, was stunned on the spot, her mouth slightly agape.
Even with her strong psychological fortitude, her mind was blank at this moment.
At this point, Norman Osborn, who had rushed over after receiving the notification, also glanced sideways repeatedly, looking at Felicia strangely, then at Natalie Rushman.
Then he waved his hand, "Miss Natalie, you can leave."
After speaking, he quickly followed Aaron out.
Natalie stared blankly at Aaron and the others, feeling the gazes of the surrounding crowd, and silently looked down at herself.
Then she turned to look at the bright reflective glass. Wasn't it perfect?
"Sir, do you think I'm beautiful..."
"I'm sorry! I have things to do!"
Before Natalie could finish, the man she had stopped withdrew his gaze without a hint of reluctance, and hurried away with a pale face, as if he had encountered a plague.
As he entered his office, he paused, forcefully twisted his steps, and crossed the doorway with his right foot first.
He then looked back in the direction of the boss, and only then did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Natalie stopped another person, but they also forcefully walked around her and left.
Natalie was furious. What was with this look of having seen a plague?
Am I not beautiful?
Fuck!
Natalie gave the crowd the middle finger, tossed her hair, and left directly.
However, as she crossed the company's main entrance, she hesitated for a moment.
Which foot did she step with first when she entered?
The same question also arose in the minds of others.
Was it that Aaron simply disliked Natalie and casually dismissed her, or did she truly step with her left foot, and he used it to assert his authority?
Someone curious went to the surveillance department.
