Chapter 75: Chapter 75 The Difference Between a Mule and a Thousand-mile Horse

In this society, no one can tolerate such an unforgiving manner of speaking, no matter who is right or wrong. In public, it’s necessary to leave some face for others; otherwise, one might truly be hated.

To deal with such people, one simply cannot resort to such overtly bright strategies.

Gu Nuan quickly pulled on Su Yixia’s sleeve.

Wa Zicong saw Gu Nuan’s action and gently smiled, lifting one corner of his mouth, "Miss Su, could it be that you were rejected? Truly a fine student, the affection among students is touching. If Miss Su is looking for a job, MN is not much inferior to Changda. May I introduce you there, how about it?"

Su Yixia’s face turned alternately green and white, almost wanting to spit directly in his face, "I—"

At that moment, Gu Nuan interjected, "Thank you, Manager Wa. If she wants to go to MN, I can ask James."

"James, that man, works with the straightforwardness of some old man, you think, after being rejected by Changda, James would want her?"

It must be said, although this scumbag’s words were venomous, he was speaking the truth.

Why did Gu Nuan, unlike Su Yixia who rushed into the Changda recruitment excitedly, first consider carefully? Because she, unlike Su Yixia, bore an additional layer of concern, having to face the consequences if she were to be rejected by Changda. Just as Wa Zicong now said—

"Those rejected by Changda, at the very least, big companies like Changda or those slightly inferior, would greatly diminish their impression of these individuals. They could only go to second-tier companies." Seeing Su Yixia’s shocked and pale face, the cold smile on Wa Zicong’s lips did not lessen, "What, don’t tell me you haven’t considered even this much, and yet dared to apply at Changda?"

A person’s capabilities are far from being limited to just an interview; it not only lies in whether one was rejected by the interviewing entity or not.

Look around, those present today, like Qin Sinan and others, are almost like Su Yixia, they hadn’t considered these points at all and were stunned on the spot.

Thinking that if one company doesn’t hire you, just try hard in interviews with other companies—that’s all they think, always believing that there’s always a discerning eye to recognize a great talent. But how many in the world are truly hidden gems?

More often, they are merely ordinary, plain mules.

People in big companies and conglomerates are all elites; could they be unaware of this logic and reasoning?

Recruiting is truly such a matter, preferring to wrongly reject a thousand than to hire one time-waster. Big companies value efficiency most, not like selecting horses with fine discrimination as Bo Le did, much less undertaking vast and exhaustive searches.

Moreover, the business circle seems large, but it is actually quite small. And in terms of company rankings, everyone wants to save face. If others have rejected someone and you hire them, you inevitably must bear the risk.

This risk lies in, if you hire someone others didn’t want, but fail to uncover the potential others didn’t see, it’s like lowering your own standards right in front of your competitors.

And the resources, both financial and labor, required to nurture a talent are unpredictable.

Only truly exceptional individuals are likely to be desired. Thus, Gu Nuan played the Wa Zicong card because, if Changda didn’t want her and she interviewed with other companies, there would always be interest in such matters, considering her a good move against MN.

This is also why, later on, Sister Cai changed her attitude; no need to think too much, Sister Cai knew Gu Nuan’s strategy as soon as she heard her mention James. And perhaps CEO Chen had understood Gu Nuan’s strategy from the very beginning.

"He’s a frightening newcomer." Sister Cai, standing in the room labeled ’Executive Director’s Office,’ finally let out a sigh of relief, "CEO Chen must have seen it coming, and me—"

A man pulled aside the luxurious golden-brown curtains in the office, looking out from his office window, he could see the open space directly in front of the main entrance. Originally, groups of candidates would have been exiting continuously, but their absence was quite telling.

"Do you hate her?"

Suddenly faced with this question, Sister Cai was taken aback and then rallied her spirits, "Matters concerning work must absolutely not involve personal emotions."

"Glad you understand that. I noticed you were a bit off with her today, which isn’t usual for you."

Seeing that meaningful glance from the corner of the other party’s eye, Sister Cai didn’t dare to neglect, saying, "I realize my mistake, Director Chen, I was off today."

"Feeling threatened is a good thing. In the company, if there aren’t newcomers who can threaten their seniors occasionally, how can we motivate those who have been working here for a long time? You’re in charge of recruitment, you should know this the best."

"Yes—"

"Go out."

Sister Cai turned and walked out of the executive director’s office. After a few steps, a girl approached her, the same female employee who had escorted Gu Nuan to the interview hall.

"Sister Cai."

"What’s up, Xiaoliu?"

"Is Director Chen planning to hire that girl into the company?"

"Why are you so nosy about the decisions of the company’s management?"

"No, I was just wondering, I don’t know where she’ll be placed?"

Seeing the somewhat panicked expression on the other person’s face, Sister Cai immediately understood and, smiling, pinched her cheek, "Don’t worry, I won’t keep her in the HR department. She isn’t suitable for our HR department. A formidable person like her should obviously be thrown into the Crocodile Pond to fend for herself."

The girl nodded happily, following Sister Cai and saying as they walked, "But I really didn’t expect that she’s the famous Wa Zicong’s ex-girlfriend."

"Yes—" Sister Cai snapped back to reality and asked, "How did you guys find out?"

"It’s all over downstairs. All the interview candidates know."

Down in the lobby, Su Yixia remained silent because of Wa Zicong’s words. It was clear that although she was straightforward by nature, she also knew that Wa Zicong was not wrong.

She knew it was over for her, that she could only go to a second-rate company now. Thinking about this, who could be in a good mood?

Wa Zicong looked down at his watch, his eyes slightly lifted, yet he was looking at Gu Nuan’s face.

It was apparent that she wasn’t like Su Yixia, having come fully prepared to Changda. Was this why Changda had accepted her?

Suddenly, a novel, unprecedented anxiousness surfaced in his heart. Because she was not at all like the girl he used to know.

Had something unknown to him happened?

"Manager Wa—" Assistant Xiaoliu received a phone call and came over, whispering a few words in his ear.

After hearing Xiaoliu’s words, Wa Zicong lowered his hand from checking his watch and said to Su Yixia, "You should totally consider it. If you think about MN, give me a call."
