Quick Transmigration: Don't Let That Cannon Fodder Go

Chapter 213 Song Lala's Job Hunting Diary 3

Song Xianyin's hostel is located in a luxurious residential building, and the entire floor is used for hostels.

When Song Xianyin went out, she unexpectedly saw the boy from the high-speed train yesterday.

His face was grim, and there was a fresh wound on his face.

When the door opened, the sounds of boys playfully fighting came from inside.

Song Xianyin thinks that hostels for girls are actually pretty good.

Today is her first job interview.

The interview location was far away, requiring three transfers and a 15-minute walk. Song Xianyin had never experienced such a painful subway ride before.

She had only ridden for two stops when she started to feel carsick.

To put it in simpler terms, she felt like throwing up.

The subway was very shaky, and the men around me always had a strange smell—the smell of smoke, alcohol, and some other indescribable, murky odor.

Song Xianyin covered the lower half of her face with her hands, trying her best to suppress the urge to vomit.

Why is City A like this? She thought City A was like the one shown on TV.

But when she arrived in City A, she found that the people she met seemed to be similar to those in her hometown.

Just then, a well-dressed girl entered. As soon as she came in, Song Xianyin began to feel despair.

She can't stand not only bad smells, but also good smells.

A classmate once said that she gets dizzy when she smells perfume because she had only smelled cheap perfumes before. High-end perfumes don't make her dizzy.

But she just saw the perfume in that girl's bag, wasn't that the legendary Shinao?

Although she had never used it, she knew the brand.

After overcoming numerous difficulties, Song Xianyin finally arrived at the company she was to interview at.

The company looked very large, and there were many people around her age sitting in the lobby, about forty of them, typing away on their keyboards with expressionless faces.

Apart from the sound of typing, there was no other sound in the lobby, and the atmosphere seemed extremely eerie.

"Here for an interview?" A girl noticed Song Xianyin standing at the door.

Song Xianyin nodded awkwardly and handed her the resume.

This is her first job interview, so she really needs to do her best!

The girl led Song Xianyin to a room that looked very high-end, like a meeting room in an idol drama.

Song Xianyin sat for a while, and then a man came in with a stern face.

His face was somewhat protruding, and his face shape was a bit like that of an ape who had not yet fully evolved. He didn't look at Song Xianyin, but looked at the decoration inside the conference room with great displeasure.

Song Xianyin frowned and stared at his face. Was this the person who was going to interview her? He seemed to have some mental issues.

He sat opposite Song Xianyin, frowning as he looked at her resume.

"You haven't graduated yet, have you?"

Song Xianyin breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out he was a normal person.

She gave a polite smile: "Yes, I'll be graduating this June. I only need to go back for my thesis defense for one day, so it won't interfere with my work."

These were the standard interview answers she had researched in advance.

The man nodded with a slight smirk, then rested his chin on his hand on the table: "Let me introduce myself."

Song Xianyin recited her prepared self-introduction perfectly.

She memorized this self-introduction a week in advance.

"You're not from City A. Tell me about your family situation."

Song Xianyin was taken aback. Did they have to ask about her family situation during the interview?

But she still told the truth.

The interviewer suddenly became interested: "Your family owns a shop. Do you know how much they earn in a year? How big is the shop?"

Song Xianyin's lips twitched: "I wonder how much they make. The store must be bigger than the company."

The interviewer nodded: "Oh, so you live alone in City A now?"

Song Xianyin immediately became alert; she had seen this question while researching.

This kind of question usually depends on how eager the employee is to join the company. If they say they live in a hotel or hostel, the interviewer will try to lower the salary offer.

"Um... I live with my sister."

Why didn't you mention that you have an older sister?

"My cousin, I didn't tell her."

The interviewer tapped the resume in his hand with boredom and continued, "Where is your sister from, and what does she do for a living?"

Song Xianyin had no idea what her non-existent older sister did for a living.

She said vaguely, "About this."

The interviewer's eyes lit up: "Have you talked to her about your job search? Have you considered turning her into a future client?"

Song Xianyin remained silent.

The interviewer smiled and continued asking some standard questions.

"You're basically a novice, so we definitely won't let you start working right away. For now, you can only be an assistant."

Song Xianyin nodded. It's okay, she's a novice anyway.

What is your expected salary?

Song Xianyin was overjoyed; she had finally gotten to this question.

"My expected salary is 6k. What is your company's salary during the probationary period?"

This time, the interviewer fell silent.

He raised an eyebrow at Song Xianyin, his lips twitching slightly: "6k?"

She really dared to ask for it.

The interviewer crossed his arms and said slowly, "6k is not enough for an intern. The four months of internship on your resume don't really count as experience. There aren't many fresh graduates in City A who can get that much, unless you graduated from a prestigious university and are a science major."

He continued to explain to Song Xianyin: "Our working hours are from 9 am to 6 pm, a 5.5-day work week."

Song Xianyin looked at him, puzzled: "What is a 5.5-day work week?"

The interviewer remained unfazed: "It means you work half a day every Saturday. After finishing your work in the morning, you can go home and rest in the afternoon."

Song Xianyin: ?

How did the world develop into this state? Do these capitalists not care about working half a day on Saturday?

The interviewer smiled and said, "Our company offers very good benefits; you can apply for a two-day weekend once a month."

Song Xianyin was speechless. Did she have to thank their company for having this policy?

What kind of benefit is this?

"The salary structure is a base salary plus performance-based pay, with the base salary ranging from 4.5k to 5k."

“Then I’ll take 5,” Song Xianyin said quickly.

Who cares, let's get this offer first.

The interviewer pointed to her resume: "You're a newbie, your base salary is only 4.5k."

This is far from the 6k that Song Xianyin wanted.

"By the way, what's your MBTI?"

“enfj”.

The interviewer nodded in satisfaction: "This position is a good fit for E-person, and I'm quite satisfied with you."

"Your logical thinking and the way we communicate are both very smooth. Come in tomorrow to complete the onboarding process."

"Tomorrow?" Song Xianyin asked in surprise.

Was she really that hasty? Could she have run into a scam company?

"Could you give me a week? I want to find a place to live here first."

I'll also go and interview at other companies.

The interviewer thought for a moment and said, "Okay, give me your answer tomorrow."

"You know, there are a lot of recent graduates looking for jobs right now, and I have several candidates here."

Song Xianyin nodded.

I wanted to make her feel a sense of crisis, but she simply didn't want to come to this company.

Just consider it as gaining interview experience.
