Chapter 598 Choosing a Concubine?!
Chapter 598 Choosing a Concubine?!
As expected, Bai Yuan will soon officially join the Bai family and begin to take over family affairs.
Having a reliable secretary and special assistant is especially important.
Such trusted confidants cannot be just anyone; they must be carefully selected and someone you can handle with ease.
Therefore, Jiang Zhi made preparations in advance, gathering a group of young people who graduated from prestigious universities, had strong professional skills, good execution ability, and were outstanding in all aspects. She gave their information and resumes to Bai Yuan so that she could choose for herself.
There were about twenty people in total, and the paper documents placed on the table still carried some weight.
Before Pei Jin arrived, Bai Yuan had already reviewed their resumes and selected a few that were acceptable. She was preparing to conduct a final screening of their appearances one by one.
Yes, in the workplace, sometimes outstanding ability is not enough. It may sound cliché, but having a good-looking face can give you more opportunities than the average person.
The same applies to Bai Yuan.
It's a very simple logic: given similar abilities, why wouldn't she choose to become a warrior with maxed-out six stats?
Even she would want the person by her side every day to be pleasing to the eye and more presentable to take out, wouldn't she?
An interview, to a large extent, is a screening process based on appearance.
Observe whether the person's appearance is acceptable, their speech and behavior, and whether they have any unbearable physical defects such as sexual positions.
After all, nobody wants a suffocating colleague sitting next to them under the same roof, right?
There's really no way to stick to or overcome this!
However, a company as large as Bai's naturally has positions for special groups of people. For those talents who are truly outstanding, hardworking, ambitious, and can bring substantial benefits to the company, even if they have various physical defects, the company will handle the case on a case-by-case basis and retain them.
They just won't be placed as assistants to direct superiors like Jiang Zhi and Bai Yuan; they still have plenty of room to showcase their talents and make a difference.
Closer to home.
The stack of photos in Bai Yuan's hand were naturally the reserve candidates who had been screened and then carefully considered.
As luck would have it, the picture at the very top was of a tall, handsome young man with a sunny disposition, full of youthful energy and boundless enthusiasm. He was pulling two suitcases and carrying a thick stack of documents, yet he could still walk briskly.
As for his appearance, it goes without saying that he could make Pei Jin instantly furious and feel threatened.
The man's photo immediately served as a wake-up call for Pei Jin.
The words I used to say to my friends when we joked around still echo in my ears.
What? His company hired a beautiful girl, his office got a handsome guy, who's having an affair with whom, what unspeakable things happened between them.
This shows that, in the eyes of these good-for-nothing rich kids, the job of "secretary" is something ambiguous, improper, and fodder for gossip.
At this moment, Pei Jin could only see two words—
Choosing a concubine!
Bai Yuan isn't choosing a secretary at all.
She's clearly choosing her own concubines!
The evidence is that other people's job applications are all filled with tiny, unrecognizable photos—just small headshots that even their own mothers wouldn't recognize—while the stack of photos in Bai Yuan's hand are clearly high-definition full-body portraits!
Can this be tolerated?
Young Master Pei is furious!
Back in high school, Bai Yuan had some foreign or other weirdo around him who was always getting in his way, which was enough to annoy him.
Here we go again?
Even if we really had to choose secretaries, couldn't we at least pick a few women to lead female-dominated jobs?!
Thinking of this, Pei Jin didn't try to snatch the photo from Bai Yuan's hand. Instead, he rested one hand on the table and said coldly:
"When choosing a secretary, you can't just look at appearance; pragmatism is the key."
Bai Yuan, pointing to the handsome young man's arm in the photo, agreed, saying:
"He looks very powerful."
Then, moving his finger down to the person's legs in the photo, he said, "Looks like he could carry 20 pounds of documents up to the 12th floor in one go after the elevator lost power."
As for why the elevator stopped, that's none of your business.
Pei Jin scoffed, "What's the use of being all brawn and no brains? Compared to girls, they're more meticulous and serious about their work... Hey!!! What's with that 'How could you say something like that?!' expression?!"
So you think he's all talk and no action, that he only knows how to indiscriminately attack everyone and can't say anything nice?!
Bai Yuan nodded in agreement, flipped to the next photo, and pointed out the woman in the photo—a woman dressed provocatively, sexy and alluring yet shrewd and intelligent—to Pei Jin:
"At 26, she excelled at a top-tier university, pursued a combined master's and doctoral degree, studied abroad for three years, and participated in numerous high-precision projects... I've read her graduation thesis, and it's very good."
Despite his stunningly beautiful face in the photo, Pei Jin remained unconvinced and stubbornly nitpicked:
"Such a capable person would be more promising to lead a team and work on projects independently, and would create more value. Wouldn't it be a waste for him to be a secretary?"
A woman? Hmph! He took back what he just said! The woman doesn't look like she's behaving herself either!
