Continuing the interviews, Alex Lin questioned one candidate after another, eliminating them one by one. However, every single elite applicant who was rejected immediately went over to apply again for the cleaning staff position.
In the end, when hiring one cleaner, the applicant pool consisted of:
10 Ph.D. holders
13 master's degree holders
56 graduates from prestigious universities
Alex Lin couldn't help but sigh."The competition for cleaning staff is way too intense!"
Meanwhile, at Dragon Fang Capital Headquarters.
Dragon King Zhao Tian lounged comfortably on the sofa, slowly swirling a glass of 1982 Lafite in his hand.
"Which position are they interviewing for right now?" he asked calmly.
The man in black replied loudly, "Reporting to the Dragon King, they are currently interviewing for the front desk position."
Zhao Tian smiled faintly.
The front desk required almost no technical expertise. Even a high school graduate could do the job. His people were all top-tier elites—how could they possibly fail at something this simple?
He took another sip of wine and asked, "How many people are needed for this position? How many applicants are there? And how many are ours?"
The man in black answered precisely,"Two people are needed in total. There are currently 48 applicants, and 42 of them are ours—accounting for 87.5%!"
Hearing this, Zhao Tian chuckled softly.
With forty-two of the forty-eight applicants under his control, victory was practically guaranteed. Could the remaining six possibly compete?
Relaxed and confident, Zhao Tian savored the wine, as though he were tasting the blood of his enemies.
"So," he asked leisurely, eyes half-closed, "how many people have been selected?"
The man in black replied loudly,"Reporting to the Dragon King—all of them were eliminated."
Zhao Tian burst into laughter and accidentally sprayed wine all over the man in black.
"Cough—!"
He sprang to his feet, furious."What did you say? You mean all of our people were eliminated?"
The man in black trembled."Yes, Dragon King."
Zhao Tian slammed the table."How is that possible? Our people are outstanding elites! How could they lose competition for two simple front desk positions?"
The man in black hurriedly explained,"Reporting to the Dragon King, it's not their fault. Lin Beifan's selection criteria for front desk staff require them to be young and beautiful. Our candidates became outstanding by sacrificing their youth, and their age and appearance didn't meet the requirements. So they were all eliminated."
"I see…" Zhao Tian slowly sat back down, finally understanding.
If he were choosing front desk staff, he would also pick young and beautiful ones.
Unfortunately, this was a common weakness among men.
He raised his glass again and said calmly,"If those two positions are lost, so be it. They're not important. But for the remaining eighteen positions, make sure we secure at least sixteen of them!"
"Yes, Dragon King!"
Back at Lin Investment Company, the front desk recruitment officially ended.
Alex Lin selected two young and beautiful girls from all the applicants to take the front desk positions.
The two girls were ecstatic.
They could hardly believe they had actually been selected.
After all, they had beaten dozens of Ph.D. holders, master's degree holders, and graduates from top universities.
The competition had been fiercer than the civil service exams.
This was an achievement they could brag about for the rest of their lives.
Under the envious and resentful gazes of the elite applicants, the two girls said excitedly,"Boss Lin, don't worry! We'll work hard and definitely won't let you down!"
Alex Lin smiled slightly."That's good. From now on, you represent the company's image. Dress well and look presentable when you come to work. Don't worry—the company will cover these expenses."
"Thank you, Boss Lin!" the two girls said in unison.
Alex Lin felt very satisfied.
Just then, a dissatisfied voice came from the side."Hmph! Men are all the same—not a single good one among them!"
Alex Lin:…
He glanced at the group of elite applicants nearby and revealed a mischievous smile.
"Next, we'll be interviewing candidates for the office clerk position. Are you all ready?"
"We're ready!"Everyone answered in unison, trembling with excitement.
