Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 365 - 363: Taking Zaizai to the Company

Xia Tingxuan was somewhat worried, "Going to a job interview with a child? Isn’t that a bit inappropriate? Will the management be unhappy if they see it?"

It would definitely have some impact, but now there was no other way. She certainly couldn’t feel at ease leaving her sick child, Zaizai, alone at home. If that was the case, she would rather give up the second round of interviews with Yundu.

Jiayi comforted her, "Mommy, it’s okay. Yundu is a large company. They already knew I have a son when they checked my family background for the interview. If they couldn’t accept that, they wouldn’t have let me go to the second interview."

There was also something she didn’t dare to say to Xia Tingxuan, which was that since Derek Fok had already agreed to let her join Yundu, it should be no problem to bring Zaizai to the interview under special circumstances, right?

After hearing her daughter’s words, Xia Tingxuan felt a bit more reassured and could only squat down and pat the little meatball’s head. "Then Zaizai, remember to be good when you’re with Mommy in the company, okay?"

Zaizai nodded, "I know, Grandma."

Jiayi told her mommy and took Zaizai out the door to Yundu.

Once out of the car, Jiayi picked up her son and walked into the building.

The security guard at Yundu’s entrance, upon learning Jiayi was there for a second interview and seeing her holding a baby who looked like a little meatball, couldn’t help but be surprised, "Miss, this is...?"

Jiayi apologetically said, "I’m sorry, Security Brother. This is my son. He is a bit sick today and there’s no one at home. I felt uneasy leaving him alone, so I had to bring him along to the company."

The security brother was in a bit of a dilemma, "This isn’t right, miss. This is a company, and you’re here for a second interview. Bringing a child isn’t appropriate. If our superiors see this, it’s going to be difficult for you to get the job, and I might get blamed by them too."

Jiayi was torn and continued to plead, "But my son is too young, and I really had no choice but to bring him. Please, show me some leniency."

Zaizai, in Jiayi’s arms, also cleverly tried to charm the security uncle, "Handsome Uncle, I won’t disturb anyone."

The security was amused by Xiaobao and took an immediate liking to this fair and chubby little meatball, finally compromising, "Alright, but the office area is upstairs. If you take the child up there, you will definitely get talked about. How about this, if you’re comfortable with it, leave the child here in the lobby. Go do your interview with peace of mind, and then come back downstairs to pick him up afterward."

Jiayi was overjoyed, "Thank you so much, Security Brother." She then placed her son on a sofa chair behind the front desk, "Don’t run around. Wait here for mommy to come down, okay?"

Zaizai, fed up with his mommy’s nagging, showed a helpless face and waved her away, "I know, you go ahead. Don’t be late."

Seeing that time was not on her side, Jiayi hurried into the elevator and went to the floor where the second interview was held.

This morning, she was delayed by caring for Zaizai at home, and Jiayi arrived a bit late. Coupled with the fact that she hadn’t slept all night, there were circles under her eyes.

A human resources manager in charge of organizing the second interview came over. Seeing that Jiayi was a few minutes late, he frowned and, upon seeing her bags under the eyes and her plain appearance, his expression changed dramatically.

Yundu Company’s recruitment was very strict. Just being late for a second interview could have sent her straight back home, not to mention appearing so lackluster. It was completely disrespectful to Yundu.

Jiayi saw the rage on the HR manager’s face and felt her heart sink, "It’s over, I’m doomed this time."

The HR manager folded his arms and was about to send Jiayi away when a middle-aged man approached. It was Manager Yang, who had spoken with Huo Zhenyang at the elevator entrance that day.

Manager Yang, seeing Jiayi had arrived, specifically came over and whispered a few words to the HR manager.

The HR manager’s brows furrowed, but in the end, he didn’t say anything. He glanced at Jiayi inexplicably, and his tone became slightly milder, "Alright, go to your second interview! Don’t delay any further!"

Jiayi’s heart, which had been hanging in her throat, finally settled down, and she felt immensely grateful, "Thank you, Manager!" she said, hurrying inside.

The work content of a design assistant is to assist the designer in completing design drafts, such as modifications and embellishments in the later stages, mainly testing the applicant’s computer drawing abilities.

The content of today’s retest was to draw a rough sketch on the spot after drawing a topic.

The topic Jiayi drew was—high-end evening gown for formal occasions.

The moment the young girl participating in the retest next to her saw Jiayi’s topic, a slight change flickered across her face.

Tong Xiaomian was also a candidate attending the retest today.

Like Jiayi, she also just graduated from a major in fashion design this year and was applying for the same position of design assistant.

Being able to enter the second round of retests at Yundu obviously meant the candidates were quite skilled, so it wasn’t at all improper for Tong Xiaomian to take extra notice of Jiayi.

An evening gown for high-end occasions?

Tong Xiaomian looked Jiayi up and down and couldn’t see any connection between her and the topic.

Judging by her attire, she seemed to be just another person from the grassroots class, and she might not have even attended a high-end occasion before, let alone be able to design a gown for one.

Over the past few years, Jiayi had been raising Xiaobao in clothes that prioritized comfort and cotton, mainly T-shirts + jeans + sneakers, which made taking care of her child much easier.

For the interview and retest, she had dressed a bit more formal, but even then, it was only a very ordinary professional pencil skirt + high heels.

Tong Xiaomian watched her hesitate for a long time in front of the computer, not making a move for ages, which only confirmed her guess. Without turning her head, however, she saw Jiayi grasp the mouse and begin to open the drawing software, then started to compose the image.

After pondering for a while, having a rough idea in mind, Jiayi clicked the mouse while lightly biting her index finger, staring intently at the computer screen.

In a short while, she had completed the sketch, done a simple embellishment, and made some minor changes. Feeling quite satisfied, she clicked save.

Tong Xiaomian snapped out of her slight shock, inhaling sharply.

With a sidelong glance, she noticed Jiayi’s solid foundation in fine arts. What was more surprising was her familiarity with the concept of luxurious evening gowns, as if she was—very acquainted with that circle.

It turned out she had underestimated Jiayi’s abilities.

Jiayi had finished the content of the retest, and according to the rules, she should wait for the HR manager to notify her before leaving.

However, she was worried about Zaizai downstairs and couldn’t help feeling uneasy; Zaizai was sick, and she needed to take him to the doctor quickly.

She wanted to say goodbye to the HR manager first, but she couldn’t find anyone after looking around for a while. She could only ask the receptionist, found the HR manager’s office, and wanted to inform them.

Before she could knock, she heard voices coming from inside the office, one of them belonged to the HR manager and the other to Manager Yang.

"Manager Yang, I really don’t understand why Chu Jiayi, who clearly doesn’t meet Yundu’s standards, lacking in depth, experience, and a single mother raising a child on her own, was allowed to participate in the second round of retests. That’s not all; she was also late today. Look at the way she presents herself, she just doesn’t seem committed." This was the HR manager’s dissatisfied voice.
