NOVEL WEB Chapter 65
Chapter 65: Turn off the Beauty Camera First!
Everyone turned their gaze towards Liu Rumei in unison.
Especially Xu Li’s eyes, carrying a hint of faint resentment.
Liu Rumei held back her laughter and said, “Sorry! Just now, I thought of a joke, so I couldn’t help but laugh. Don’t mind me, continue the interview!”
Then, she almost leaned entirely on Lin Beifan, struggling to contain her laughter.
Lin Beifan reminded her in a low voice, “Stop laughing, we are in the middle of an interview. Be serious!”
Liu Rumei couldn’t hold it in any longer and burst out laughing, “Hahaha…”
Everyone else followed suit, “Hahaha…”
Xu Li: “…”
You guys…
You are all terrible people!
Only Lin Beifan remained solemn without laughing, “Miss Xu, don’t mind them. Please answer my previous question, okay?”
“The reason I chose to come to the front desk is that I am tired of my previous job. I wanted to try a different way of working to relax a bit, but I didn’t want to completely leave my professional field. I heard that Mr. Lin, you value talents, and as long as someone is talented, you highly appreciate them, so I came here!”
The other party truly deserved to be a graduate of a prestigious university; their mind was indeed quick, and they immediately came up with a reason.
After asking two more questions, Lin Beifan looked down and said, “I’m sorry, you don’t meet our company’s hiring criteria!”
The other person was not convinced, “Why don’t I meet the criteria?”
“Because we are hiring for the front desk! The front desk represents the facade of our company. Education is not crucial; appearance is the most important factor! You are a bit older, and you don’t have the youthful and beautiful appearance that our front desk requires.”
Xu Li didn’t understand and took out her phone to take a look, “But I am indeed youthful and beautiful!”
Lin Beifan had no expression on his face, “Turn off the beauty camera first!”
Xu Li: “…”
Xu Li silently put down her phone.
“Alright, that’s the situation. I hope we can still have the possibility of cooperation in the future! This is your resume; please keep it!” Lin Beifan smiled and handed the resume over.
Xu Li took the resume but hesitated before handing it back.
Lin Beifan was puzzled, “What do you mean?”
Xu Li said with a tinge of resentment, “Didn’t you say I’m too old and not youthful and beautiful enough? Then I’ll try applying for the cleaning aunt position and see if there’s an opportunity!”
Lin Beifan: “…”
Then, Lin Beifan interviewed the next applicant.
“Hello, Mr. Lin! My name is Wang Yingtian, 28 years old, majoring in English at Fudan University! After graduating from university, I studied at Harvard University for two years and obtained a master’s degree! After graduation, I worked at Penguin Group for two years, engaged in translation and other related tasks…”
The other person kept talking, equally impressive.
Lin Beifan nodded and examined him, “But we are hiring for the front desk, and you’re a male, isn’t that not quite suitable for this job? Did you perhaps submit the wrong resume?”
“I didn’t submit the wrong resume. I believe I have significant advantages for the front desk!”
“I’m eager to hear the details!”
Wang Yingtian raised his head confidently.
“First, my major in college is English, and I furthered my studies at Harvard, so I can freely switch between bilingual communication. Our company seems to have great potential for international development, so my abilities perfectly match the company’s needs!”
“Second, I’m a male, and that’s a significant gender advantage! Because I won’t get pregnant and frequently take leave to take care of children, I can dedicate all my energy to work. I can do tasks that women can’t handle, and those they can, I can do as well. I won’t complain about being tired!”
“Third, many people are tired of the typical beautiful female receptionists! If you hire me, it will undoubtedly give others a refreshing feeling while still appearing professional!”
“Fourth, I have a good appearance and temperament! I’m 1.78 meters tall and weigh less than 140 pounds! I look slim when dressed and muscular when undressed! People on the street often call me handsome, making me almost lose myself…”
Lin Beifan: “…”
“So, all in all, the company should hire me for the front desk!”
Wang Yingtian surveyed the whole room with a haughty look.
Argue with me for the front desk position, and you guys can go to bed!
Lin Beifan applauded, “Well said!”
Wang Yingtian felt pleased.
“But you’re eliminated!”
Wang Yingtian’s composure shattered, “Why?”
Lin Beifan pointed to himself, “Am I a man or a woman?”
“Mr. Lin is, of course, a man!”
“And the leaders of our company, are they men or women?”
“Most of them are men!”
“That’s right!” Lin Beifan slapped his thigh, “Since we are all men, do you think we would choose a beautiful female receptionist to admire or a regular guy to disgust ourselves?”
Wang Yingtian: “…”
“You didn’t even understand our leaders’ thoughts; your emotional intelligence is obviously lacking!”
Wang Yingtian: “…”
“Still lacking self-awareness! You don’t really believe you’re handsome just because others call you that, do you? Think carefully, do they call you handsome when you’re paying the bill?”
Wang Yingtian: “…”
Lin Beifan shook his head in lament, “Your emotional intelligence is lacking, and you still lack self-awareness! That’s why we won’t assign such an essential job as the front desk to you. You may leave now!”
Wang Yingtian clutched his injured chest and silently took back his resume.
Then, he handed it back again.
Lin Beifan was bewildered, “What are you trying to do?”
“If I can’t be at the front desk, I want to apply for the cleaning position! For a cleaning job, emotional intelligence and self-awareness shouldn’t be necessary, right?”
Lin Beifan: “…”
After thinking for a moment, he added, “And there shouldn’t be any gender requirements either, right?”
Lin Beifan: “…”
