NOVEL WEB Chapter 14 - Excellent Administrative Assistant
“Name?”
“Joe Britney”
“age?”
“twenty two.”
“gender?”
“…”
A blond and blue-eyed white girl ruffled her hair, and then pushed her chest hard:
“Boss, do you think I’m not old enough?”
“Okay okay, my fault. Please introduce yourself.”
Bai Niu was not at all stage frightened, and boasted in front of Nolan:
“I’ve been working since I was eighteen. I’ve been a waiter in a restaurant, a bartender, etc. I’ve done a good job…”
Nolan sighed: “Miss, I’m hiring an assistant here, not a waiter…”
“Is there any difference?” Bai Niu licked her lips and winked at him:
“It’s just that the waiter serves many people, and the assistant only serves one person; I believe I can serve you well. I’m very professional in this regard…”
“Sorry, because I’m usually busy, so I need an assistant who is professional in business. The next one!”
……
In order to quickly set up a team, the salary he posted on the job advertisement was obviously more than 10% or 20% higher than other similar recruits.
The consequence is that many people, whether they are professional or not, have work experience or not, all want to give it a try. What if they succeed?
Especially in New York, there is no shortage of people.
In just half a day, Nolan has interviewed more than 30 people. After reading a lot of information, he even felt a little scalp tingling.
None of the more than 30 people are even graduates of business administration.
Most of them want to find a decent job after graduating from high school, especially women who consider themselves to be pretty good looking.
He couldn’t help rubbing his eyes, closing them, and at the same time shouting, “Next!”
Soon, a voice mixed with surprise and joy came:
“You’re… the little brother with Parker?!”
“Mary Jane?”
Nolan saw the person coming and couldn’t help but blurt out, “Why did you apply for the job?”
Mary pursed her lips, and a cloud of haze crept up on her face:
“After graduating high school, I moved out of the house. Now I just need a job to support myself, and that’s it.”
After thinking about it, Nolan still felt that he had to ask first:
“Well, how are you and Peter Parker?”
“No, we haven’t been in touch for a while.” Mary Jane’s expression remained unchanged: “He seems to like me, but he never did anything, even if he knew I broke up, he didn’t say a word to me.”
“alright, I got it.”
What is this all about? Nolan felt his head hurt again.
In the movie, Mary Jane gives the impression of being ‘full of tea’.
During the period after Peter went to college, she dated Spider-Man’s friend Harry Osborn on the one hand; on the other hand, she wanted to get Spider-Man’s love and had an affair with him.
Her upside-down kiss in the rain with Spider-Man is also one of the classics.
Nolan’s attitude towards her is very complicated, not only pity her growing environment, but also feel resentful and worthless for Peter Parker’s dog-licking form;
The most important thing is that his plan reserved a place for the little spider;
What would the little spider think if she recruited Mary Jane?
Ok? He found blind spots;
“Hey, what will the little spider think?”
Does that even need to be said? He will definitely take the initiative to come and work for me!
“Okay! You’ve been hired! It’s just that the assistant job is definitely not suitable. You come to work first, and you will always find a suitable job for you!”
Nolan made a decisive decision: “In terms of salary, I’ll give you $5,000 for a month, and then adjust it later.”
In the United States in 2005, the per capita income was only about 3,000.
To offer such a salary to a high school graduate is definitely far beyond the standard.
But Nolan didn’t care. To put it bluntly, Mary Jane was just a bait for the little spider.
“Thank you, BOSS!”
Mary’s expression finally took on a radiance. This was the first happy thing she encountered after moving out:
“I will definitely work hard!”
Mary Jane left, but the assistant was still not recruited. Recruitment has to continue.
In the past two days, the assistant was recruited; when the assistant was recruited, he had to continue interviewing for other positions: programmer, finance, editor, front desk…
He couldn’t help feeling bald.
“Next person!”
The door of the office was opened, and a slender lady walked in.
When the two met each other, Nolan was taken aback:
“Lilith Chen?”
……
“I have to say, there are quite a few acquaintances today.”
Nolan got up and poured her a cup of tea, Chen Wan took it, said thank you with a smile, and then took a sip.
“Really? It can only be said that the world is so small that we would meet in this way.”
“I didn’t expect it either.”
“Last time you left in a hurry, I don’t even know what you did?”
“Something happened temporarily. A buddy was beaten, and I’ll go help him.”
Explaining half-truths, Nolan asked, “Why did you think of applying for the job of administrative assistant?”
Chen Wan put the teacup back on the table, and sat up straight: “Introduce yourself, Columbia University Business School 05 graduate, Chen Wan.”
“Graduated from Columbia University?” Nolan was taken aback.
Although he also has a master’s degree from Columbia University, it was obtained by the way when he was applying for his identity, and it was a gift; real Columbia University graduates are quite expensive.
“Why would a graduate of an Ivy League school be an assistant in a small company that just started?”
“Do you think you’re running a small company?” Chen Wan laughed with a ‘puchi’, and winked playfully:
“Those who start a business in their parents’ garage can be called ‘small companies’. Where are you small?”
“Okay! Maybe when I lived in Huaxia, I got the virtue of modesty.”
Realizing that what he thought was wrong, Nolan picked up the teacup and drank it, covering up his embarrassment.
Just after putting down the teacup, Chen Wan took the initiative to pick up the pot and pour it for him.
“Cough cough!” Fake cough, Nolan covered his mouth with his hand: “Well, that’s fine. How did you come here? I’ll send you off?”
“It came by subway. So, I passed the test?”
“Of course, of course. Let’s not mention the graduates of Columbia University, what is my relationship with Lao Chen… I will drive you?”
Unexpectedly, she refused very politely: “No, there is no assistant sent by the boss before going to work. Others will think crooked. I will go back by myself.”
“Okay, then you pay attention to safety on the road.” He pressed a button on the table: “Tom, a suitable assistant has been found, let the other interviewers go back.”
“I got it, BOSS.” Tom’s voice came clearly from the walkie-talkie.
