The cliché story of a domineering president and his secretary

An Yi sat quietly in a small meeting room.

She was dressed neatly today. Although she was not wearing formal clothes, she was wearing a light-colored outfit that was elegant and decent, which further highlighted her tall and slim figure.

Yes, she is thin. During this period, she has successfully retired from the slightly fat world. She used to always say that she wanted to lose weight, but now she has exceeded her goal.

I haven't worked for many years. Although I have a lot of clothes, as a full-time housewife, I don't have so much money that I can buy professional suits that I don't need at all. And recently I really don't have the mood to buy new clothes for the interview. Anyway, An Yi didn't take this interview too seriously.

This is a company engaged in the research and development, production, and partial import and sales of intelligent small robots. After receiving the interview call, An Yi learned about it online. It sounds very advanced, and the quality of the staff should be relatively good. On the way to being led by the front desk, she quickly glanced at the company environment with her peripheral vision. It was similar to what she imagined, with white-collar and gold-collar workers, and the office environment was designed with technological elements and bright colors.

But it was precisely because of these factors that she had no hope for this interview. Given her qualifications, it was already a bit strange that she was invited to the interview. Could it be that the recruiter was dazzled? She smiled self-deprecatingly.

The elegant receptionist said that the colleague in charge of the interview was busy and asked her to wait a moment. An Yi smiled and agreed. She was also a free person anyway, and she knew that this was probably a small pressure tactic of the interviewer to make the applicant calm down.

She stared at the water cup on the table and began to daydream. She remembered her mother's words of encouragement before she left: "I wanted you to stay at home and take good care of yourself. Why are you in such a hurry to find a job? It's better if you don't succeed. You don't have to feel burdened. Go early and come back early!" Thinking of this, she smiled. Only parents are the most selfless to their children and are the strongest support.

Just like she did with Youyou, An Yi also gradually disclosed the matter between her and Meng Siqian to her parents in stages and steps. Although her parents were still extremely shocked.

In the eyes of his parents, An Yi has been well-behaved since childhood. Although he was not among the top students in his studies, he has always maintained an above-average score, which has satisfied them. His subsequent work and marriage were ordinary but smooth. After the birth of their baby granddaughter, they took care of her together with their daughter and got along well with their son-in-law. Later, the young couple felt sorry for them, and in order to take better care of Youyou, their daughter chose to stay at home full-time, allowing them to enjoy their old age more comfortably.

The old couple were very proud and relieved to have such a worry-free and filial daughter, and thought that their life would always be peaceful.

Although I was shocked and heartbroken, I could only slowly accept the fact.

They were very angry with their son-in-law. When Meng Siqian came to their house to apologize, the old couple showed no mercy and severely criticized this unfaithful man. An Yi did not stop them. Venting out their anger in this way might be better for the health of the two old people, and it also helped her get rid of her anger.

Meng Siqian knew that he deserved the punishment and dared not refute a word.

Regarding the half-year take-up plan, An Yi's parents were very opposed at first. How could they let their baby Youyou fall into the hands of the hateful ex-son-in-law and that shameless woman! An Yi understood them, and she was also relieved and willing! But she still tried hard to persuade and explain, and Meng Siqian also swore to the heavens that the contract did stipulate that if Meng Siqian's new home was not conducive to Youyou's growth, the agreement of taking turns to take care of her could be withdrawn at any time. Anyway, the custody was in An Yi's hands. The decision-making power was in Youyou's hands. Everything was based on Youyou's feelings. Even if her feelings were wrong, she would be respected unconditionally.

After several rounds of communication, An Yi's parents reluctantly agreed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

As for the former mother-in-law and father-in-law, they scolded Meng Siqian with great grief and anger, and could only feel deep regret and helplessness towards An Yi. Although she did not get along very closely with her parents-in-law before, An Yi also considered herself a filial and qualified good daughter-in-law.

That day, she said almost nothing, except asking the two old people to take good care of themselves when she said goodbye. This relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law ended there.

After two light knocks, a gentle girl in a dark suit pushed the door open and walked in. Although it was her own company, the knock before entering expressed respect and courtesy to the person waiting.

"Excuse me, is this Anyi? Hello! I am Li Qing, a recruitment specialist in human resources. I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long, but I have an urgent matter to deal with." These straight-to-the-point words showed how busy and capable this person is.

"Hello, I'm An Yi. It's okay, I understand." An Yi smiled and shook hands with Li Qing. Before she became a full-time employee, she had been working for a Fortune 500 company. Although that was a thing of the past, her professionalism was quickly awakened. Coupled with her current age and experience, although it was a disadvantage, she was more mature and calm.

"Thank you for your understanding! Please take a seat. We will not waste your valuable time and let us talk about your situation." Li Qing had a good first impression of An Yi. People who have worked in large companies are indeed very attractive. It seems that this resume about the Fortune 500 is true.

An Yi handed over his resume, ID card and relevant academic qualifications, and began to briefly introduce his expertise and previous work experience.

The position she was interviewing for this time was a data information management specialist, who was mainly responsible for the company's various data statistics and inventory management. It was a job that didn't require much brainpower and practice made perfect. It was very suitable for her current state of mind. An Yi really didn't have the energy to engage in work with complex interpersonal relationships. Her previous job as a manager's assistant also included similar data statistics.

Li Qing looked at the resume in her hand carefully, raised her head to look at An Yi, whose face was not gorgeous but delicate and gentle, with the corners of her mouth always slightly raised, and asked inquiringly: "From your resume, it seems that you have a good previous work experience, but you have been a full-time worker for many years. What is the reason for you to return to the workplace?"

This question was within An Yi's expectations: "I worked full-time before to take care of my child, but now she has grown up and doesn't need my care that much. So I decided to continue working. Although I am over 30, I have accumulated so many years of experience, and I am confident in my ability and quality to work."

An Yi answered calmly with a determined look in her eyes. This was also her truth. Although her ex-husband and family did not think highly of her going out to work, An Yi felt good about it. Her previous boss was very strict and a workaholic, and many people were eliminated or quit on their own, but she not only worked for him for many years but also gained his trust.

An Yi's answer also matched Li Qing's guess about the answer.

She actually saw this resume online and decided to give it an interview opportunity. This disadvantage of An Yi's age is actually an advantage for this recruitment. She remembered the helpless look on the face of Sales Manager Lu when he came to her a few days ago: "If you want to recruit for this position again, you should find an older employee. Young girls in their 20s think this job is boring, has no future, and is not reliable. I don't want to worry about this position anymore!"

Li Qing came back to her senses and took another look at the resume, then asked curiously, "Among the positions we are recruiting for this time, there is a manager assistant position. Would you consider this job that you are more familiar with?" She was testing whether An Yi was determined enough for the data analysis position.

An Yi thought to herself, "Manager's assistant? That's reserved for young women who can better reflect the company's image. How can a middle-aged woman like her get the job? Besides, she's really not interested." She organized her words a little and said, "Thank you for your trust and reminder. After thinking about it again, I haven't worked for many years. I feel more confident about the position of data statistics."

Li Qing nodded. Yes, he is confident but does not overestimate his abilities. His appearance and manners also give people a down-to-earth feeling. She passed this test. Without showing any emotion, she continued to ask some questions related to abilities and workplace adaptability. After knowing that An Yi had done his homework in advance and had some preliminary understanding of their company, she felt more satisfied. He was a thoughtful person. Both parties had no other questions.

Afterwards, she asked An Yi to wait for a moment, and after leaving the meeting room, she reported the interview to her supervisor. According to the recruitment process, An Yi should go back and wait for the notification of the second round of interviews, but the previous incumbent of the position suddenly resigned, and the sales manager was in a hurry. In addition, it was an insignificant clerical position, and the head of the human resources department was too lazy to spend time thinking about it, so he asked Li Qing to go directly to Manager Lu for an interview, and it would be ok if he agreed.

Manager Lu, the company's sales manager, was tall and strong, handsome, with excellent business skills and a gleam in his eyes. He was a man who knew many people well. After listening to Li Qing's brief introduction, he was led in and rushed in.

He is a man of swift action. An Yi thought that this was quite in line with the temperament of a sales department boss.

Huh? Already 34 years old? Not really. Manager Lu's first impression of An Yi. After both parties introduced themselves, they sat down and looked at the resume in their hands, gazing at the woman in front of them. She was dignified and beautiful, with a well-proportioned figure and generous manners. She always had a smile on her face and looked a few years younger than her actual age. Thinking about it, it made sense. She had been working full-time at home, so she had less worries and took good care of herself. I was worried about hiring an old lady, but now I feel a little relieved. Although I want to be safe, I also have to consider the company's image.

In addition to asking some questions that had been asked just now, Manager Lu also focused on examining An Yi's specific business capabilities. After feeling basically satisfied, he hurried away. Before leaving, he asked Li Qing to introduce the salary, social security benefits, working hours and other related systems of this job.

An Yi understood that he had also passed the test of department head smoothly.

The salary is normal for the same position, working from 9 to 5, with weekends and statutory holidays off, nothing special. Li Qing finally said that they would study it further, and asked An Yi to go home and think about it carefully, and the final interview result would be notified by phone.

An Yi walked out of the building, and was suddenly dazzled by the bright light. Instead of being annoyed, she felt relieved as if she had seen the light of day again. She slowly breathed a sigh of relief: I am so tired. I haven't had an interview for a long time. I am really not used to it. Looking back, she had a premonition: this is where she will work from now on.
