Chapter 426: Encountering an Old Friend in a Foreign Land

In Room 420, Chen Jianhai's words were like a loud bell, instantly reverberating in the minds of the male and female interviewers and the young man, leaving their heads buzzing.

Chen Jianhai stared straight at the two people opposite him, determined and unwavering in his stance.

You must be joking. 

How could your Binfen Holiday Resort Hotel be so stingy? 

You're offering this little to recruit a P9+ level candidate???

Not even 5 million, and you still have the nerve to poach someone? 

Although Chen Jianhai usually didn't pay Wen Zifan and Ruikeyan that much either, 

but who doesn't have a little double standard in their heart?

You can criticize my friends, 

but if you criticize me, that's not acceptable!!

"But this is the highest offer we can give," the male interviewer said with a hard face, looking troubled.

This amount is definitely enough to hire others, but clearly not enough for you.

But the next moment, the male interviewer's expression suddenly brightened! 

It's easy to invite Buddha, but hard to send Buddha away.

He was worrying about how to handle the situation with Chen Jianhai, but the other party unexpectedly gave him the perfect excuse.

Thinking of this, 

the male interviewer immediately put on a gentle and encouraging face, and spoke in a soft, comforting tone:

"Mr. Chen, this is the highest salary we can offer."

"If you have higher salary expectations," 

"just work hard, and your salary will increase in the future."

Looking at the male interviewer's sincere expression, Chen Jianhai sneered inwardly:

"You shameless liar, trying to string me along!"

After the salary discussion, the enthusiasm in the conversation between the two sides visibly declined.

The female interviewer did, however, ask Chen Jianhai a few more questions, 

such as:

"If you were a manager, how would you improve employee job satisfaction?"

"What is your view on overtime?"

"What do you think the future trend for female employees' promotion environments will be?" and so on.

Chen Jianhai cooperated and seriously answered each question.

"Alright, Mr. Chen, thank you for coming to our hotel for the interview."

"Someone will inform you of the interview results within 3-7 working days."

"Thank you for your choice," the male interviewer said, relieved.

"Alright, you guys worked hard too," Chen Jianhai, having fully enjoyed the experience of being an interviewee, stood up and prepared to leave.

But just as he stood up, the female interviewer called out to him,

"Mr. Chen! May I take a photo with you?"

Chen Jianhai was taken aback, "Is that appropriate?"

I've never heard of an interviewer wanting to take a photo with a candidate after an interview!

The female interviewer nodded without hesitation, smiling, "It's appropriate!"

After a pause, the female interviewer tentatively asked, "Is it okay?"

Chen Jianhai generously said, "Sure, of course."

"Click."

"Click."

"Click!!"

The shutter sounds came from the phone.

Seeing Chen Jianhai agree to take a photo, the male interviewer and the young man also seized the opportunity to take photos with Chen Jianhai.

"Is there anything else? If not, I'll be leaving now," Chen Jianhai asked.

The male interviewer quickly said, "I'll walk you out."

Chen Jianhai waved his hand, "You guys are busy, I can find my way out."

As he left Room 408, 

Chen Jianhai walked while muttering to himself, 

"The interview went quite well, the atmosphere was relaxed, not as tough as people say online."

"It's just the waiting that was a bit annoying,"

"And the salary offered was too low...."

By now, it was already noon, 

and the people who were originally waiting at the door of Room 420 had all left, making it much quieter.

It seemed the recruitment had ended.

But as Chen Jianhai passed by Room 420, he could still vaguely hear some noise coming from inside.

"Why does this voice sound more and more like that dog Xu Yong?"

Driven by curiosity, 

Chen Jianhai sneakily walked to the door of Room 420 and peeked through the crack.

But before he could see anything, 

the door was opened from the inside, and a young man walked out dejectedly.

"Is there anyone else outside?"

A voice came from inside the room, and Chen Jianhai turned slightly, peering into the room.

He saw three people sitting at the interviewers' table, 

the one in the middle was engrossed in the documents in front of him, occasionally circling and marking something with a pen.

The person on the left looked tired, rubbing his eyes while taking off his glasses and yawning.

These two were none other than Xu Yong and his assistant!!

The person on the right noticed and urged, "If there's anyone left, bring them in quickly."

A mischievous grin flashed across Chen Jianhai's face as he strode into the room.

"Quickly introduce yourself," the person on the right said, following procedure.

"My name is Chen Jianhai, and I currently work in comprehensive management at a five-star hotel in Nanjiang City."

Hearing this, 

the person in the middle suddenly looked up, 

and the person on the left choked back the yawn and hurriedly put on his glasses, staring at Chen Jianhai in astonishment.

"There are many hotels in Nanjiang City. Which one do you work at?" 

The person on the right, not recognizing Chen Jianhai, became interested upon hearing about his work experience.

"Lang Ai Hotel."

Chen Jianhai spoke while secretly enjoying Xu Yong's expression, which looked as if he had seen a ghost, barely holding back his laughter.

"And what are your salary expectations?" the person on the right asked.

Chen Jianhai crossed his legs and said, 

"The hotel next door, Binfen Holiday Resort, offered me 6 million to poach me, but I didn't agree."

"I'm not bragging, but with my qualifications, I can't accept a standard offer."

"You decide."

Saying this, Chen Jianhai shook his leg, smugly flaunting himself.

"6 million to poach you?" Xu Yong sneered, "I think you'd be lucky to be worth 600 yuan."

Chen Jianhai tutted, shaking his head, "They say a dog can't change its habit of eating excrement. Even in a new place, you're still as short-sighted as ever."

...

Meeting an old friend in a foreign land is usually a beautiful thing.

But when that old friend turns out to be "Xu Yong meeting Chen Jianhai," it's nothing short of a disaster.

Xu Yong looked at Chen Jianhai in exasperation. 

He really had crossed paths with this person again!

Even an ordinary recruitment process led to this encounter.

But Chen Jianhai, on the other hand, was overjoyed, 

He was starving and finally saw someone he could exploit for a meal—there's no way he was letting this opportunity slip by.

"Stop looking. There's no one else outside. I'm the last one," Chen Jianhai said, shaking his leg.

"Are you done with your recruitment? If so, let's go grab a meal."

"You promised to treat me to sweet and sour pork last time, but you haven't done it yet!"

Seeing Chen Jianhai's smug face, Xu Yong really wanted to ask, 

"Do I owe you something??"

But then he thought about it, and he realized he actually did owe him.

And it was a pretty big debt at that.

"Sigh!"

With a resigned sigh, 

Xu Yong instructed his assistant, then threw on his coat, flicked his head, and said to Chen Jianhai with flair: 

"Follow me, bro!"
