Spoiled by the CEO after amnesia!-Chapter 366 - 364 Old Fox!

"Someone pulled strings to get her into the second round of interviews, what can I do about it? But don’t worry, even if she makes it to the second round, it’s useless, she definitely won’t get into Yundu."

"What do you mean?"

"That person let her into the second round, but didn’t say she’d definitely get into Yundu."

"...Manager Yang, who pulled strings? Why arrange it this way?" The HR manager was somewhat baffled, to let Chu Jiayi into the second round but then not hire her for Yundu?

"You don’t need to ask about that."

Since it was a case of nepotism, it surely involved someone important in the company, probably the upper management. After all, Yundu was such a large company with quite a number of bosses, big and small, so the HR manager didn’t inquire further.

...

Outside the office, Jiayi clenched her fists, instantly understanding what had happened.

That Mr. Huo—he was just stringing her along!

That day, she had taken a photo and used the car accident to threaten him; he had had no choice but to placate her temporarily!

She felt an urge to lash out, all the excitement and anticipation she’d had, along with the encouragement and hope from Mommy and Zaizai, had all turned into bubbles that burst.

But a few seconds later, she ultimately swallowed her anger.

What could she do?

Was she supposed to drag that man out now, accuse him of breaking his promise, of not keeping his word, of playing dirty with her?

She felt unsettled, silently walking towards the elevator.

She didn’t even bother to say goodbye to the HR manager; after all, Yundu was never going to take her.

Meanwhile, Zaizai in the lobby on the first floor of the building had quickly captured the hearts of a group of security guards and receptionists.

A crowd was gathered around Zaizai, playing with the chubby little fellow.

Several receptionists were even more exaggerated, bringing out all the snacks they had brought to work, just to win the affection of the little chubby one.

"Baby, how can you be so cute?" cooed one receptionist.

Zaizai, sucking on a lollipop, replied, "Because my mommy is very beautiful, and my grandma is pretty too."

Someone asked curiously with a laugh, "Then your daddy must be very handsome too, right?"

"What’s a daddy, can you eat it?"

The maternal instincts of the receptionists were all stirred up as they vied to pinch the cheeks of Xiaobao.

Zaizai solemnly pushed away the hand of the receptionist, "Boys and girls shouldn’t touch."

This caused a round of hearty laughter and chatter among everyone.

...

Jiayi exited the elevator, and seeing her son so happy only made her feel more downcast; she really didn’t know what to tell him.

If her son knew she had failed the job interview and couldn’t get into Yundu at all, he would be so disappointed.

This was the first time she had made a promise to her son, assuring him she would definitely get into Yundu, but now...

And then there was the tuition fee for her son’s bilingual kindergarten...

She exhaled deeply, trying her best to suppress the gloom in her heart, forcing a warm smile as she approached, "Zaizai, Mommy is here, say goodbye to the uncles and aunties, we’re leaving."

"Mummy!" Zaizai threw himself forward and grabbed Jiayi’s hand.

Jiayi thanked the security guard and the receptionist with a smile, but her smile was even more painful than crying. She took her son’s hand and walked towards the exit of the building.

As they reached the door, she crouched down. Before he could ask about the job interview, she said, "Zaizai, how about Mommy takes you to the hospital now?"

But Zaizai hadn’t forgotten the most important thing, and his expression was serious, "How did the follow-up interview go?"

She hadn’t expected to escape the little tyke’s questioning. Really...

Jiayi, feeling helpless and after considering her words, didn’t plan to lie to her son. She said gently, "Would you be very disappointed if Mommy failed and couldn’t join this company?"

Zaizai frowned, "That’s impossible. Didn’t Mommy do well in the interview? You’ve been drawing lots of pictures on the computer at home in the past few days. You prepared well, how could you not get in?"

Jiayi forced a bitter smile, about to explain further when she heard the sound of a car stopping at the gate, followed by the hurried footsteps heading towards the door.

She looked up, and there, a familiar figure in black strode up the steps, heading straight into the building, with Ade following beside him.

The man had a handsome face without a single flaw, with eyebrows dark as ink, and lips slightly pursed, exuding an air of nobility and aloofness as he walked towards the elevator.

It was him, that Mr. Huo!

The frustration surged up again! Was he coming to work at Yundu?

Good, she finally caught him!

Without another thought, Jiayi took Zaizai back to the security guard, "Big brother security guard, could you please look after my child for a few minutes? I’ll be right back."

"Sure, sure, no problem." The security guards really liked the little bundle of joy. They wouldn’t mind being a nanny all day; they had just watched Jiayi take Zaizai away and were quite reluctant to let him go.

Jiayi followed behind the man, turning the corner to see him stopped at the elevator, she gathered her courage, "Wait! Don’t go, I need to talk to you!"

The woman’s voice, neither loud nor soft, was crisp, slender, but very persistent, echoing in the quiet hallway.

Ade turned around, surprised—it was Miss Chu.

Huo Zhenyang also noticed the woman who dared to stop him in public, his gaze darkened, it was her again?

Oh right, she was supposed to be here for a second interview today.

This was the first time he’d heard someone speak to him in that tone.

His face grew dark, "What is it?"

What is it? He was asking her what it was? Jiayi, fuming with anger, walked over, "What about the promise you made?"

Huo Zhenyang’s brows furrowed into icy ridges. Did this little woman have a death wish, with such gall to question him in that tone?

"You came for a second interview today," the man said, restraining the anger broiling within him.

Still trying to play games, the sly old fox!

In an instant, Jiayi forgot her nervousness towards this man, almost grinding her teeth to pieces, "I know, you never intended to let me work at Yundu, did you? You must have spoken to the people at Yundu to have me eliminated in the second interview! You wanted me to go through the motions just to string me along, right?"

Huo Zhenyang did not expect that she would have found out, yet his expression twisted, not showing the slightest guilt, rather coldly:

"Do you really think you’re qualified to work at a big corporation like Yundu? Take a good look at yourself! Every applicant to Yundu has extensive experience in their field. What about you? A greenhorn in the workplace, even small companies wouldn’t want you! Go gain some more experience and come back in a few years, you naive woman!"

Every word was dripping with sarcasm, clearly meant to shame Jiayi and get her to back down.

Yet, after months of job hunting, Jiayi had tempered her heart to be as tough as diamonds. What was a bit of mockery to her? Was being young, a recent graduate with no experience a sin?

Moreover, thinking of Zaizai’s expectant face, she grew even less afraid of the man’s scorn, tilting up her delicate white face, her gaze firm, "It was you who promised to let me in. All I know now is that you’re not a man of your word, and you’re deliberately toying with me!"
