Big companies were efficient. That night, the interview results of the CF Group were out.

Kong Zhao sat cross-legged on the ground in the small living room and frowned at the interview results on the computer.

When Cheng Fang returned home and opened the door, he saw Kong Zhao’s scowl. He changed into his slippers and sat on the sofa. He asked curiously, “Your face is almost as wrinkled as a bun. If you encounter any big problems, tell me.”

Kong Zhao didn’t think that Cheng Fang could help her much, but it was good that someone could listen to her complaints.

Kong Zhao leaned her elbow on the coffee table and raised her palm to support her face. She turned to Cheng Fang and said gloomily, “The questions for the written test are quite difficult. If it wasn’t for my previous participation experience and the accumulation of a lot of relevant knowledge, ordinary freshmen wouldn’t have been able to pass. However, I’m sure that at least 95% are definitely correct. There’s still the second round, which is an interview. I wonder how many people will be eliminated in the first round?!”

“Sigh, I even swore that I could at least last until the second round. Now, I realize that I was too confident. As expected of a large corporation! The standards are so high…”

Cheng Fang pondered for a moment before taking out his phone and clicking on Yan Song’s WeChat profile.

Cheng Fang asked: Is the first round, the written test, very difficult?

Yan Song, who was hugging and kissing his F-list celebrity girlfriend, saw the message on his phone and got up to click on it. He was puzzled.

When did his boss start to care about the recruitment process? However, he replied without delay.

Yan Song replied: No, it’s just the first round. The written test for each position is only to test if the candidate’s basic knowledge is solid enough, unless it’s an executive or a high-level technical talent.

Cheng Fang: Check if there’s a problem with the written test for this round.

Yan Song looked at the message and frowned before immediately calling the human resources department.

The CF Group had always paid attention to the nurturing of talents, so Cheng Fang had emphasized this when the company was established.

Cheng Fang looked at Kong Zhao, who had already begun to look for other companies to submit her resume to, and comforted her softly, “Don’t be discouraged. Perhaps there will be good news tomorrow when you wake up!”

With that, Cheng Fang entered the room and took out a mint-flavored candy before handing it to Kong Zhao. He raised his eyebrows and smiled. “Here, I’ll give you a lucky candy! Something good will definitely happen after you eat it.”

Kong Zhao took it and took a look. It was a very ordinary brand. “Thank you for your kind words. If I really get lucky tomorrow, I’ll treat you to a big meal after I find a job!”

Kong Zhao tore open the wrapping paper and put the candy into her mouth. The cool and sweet taste filled her mouth, and a smile appeared on her face. “Sweets can indeed brighten one’s mood!”

Cheng Fang looked at his wife’s satisfied smile and suddenly felt a sense of serenity.

The next morning, the alarm clock rang at 8 AM. Kong Zhao got up and pushed open the bathroom door groggily. She suddenly saw a man standing by the toilet beside the sink.

With a cigarette in his mouth, the man looked at her in surprise. He placed his hands in an indescribable place as he peed.

Kong Zhao suddenly sobered up and shouted, “Ah!”

Kong Zhao, who had come back to her senses, immediately turned around and ran to the living room. When she recalled the scene she had just seen, her face turned red and her heart raced.

Although Kong Zhao and Lin Xu had been dating for more than a year, they had only held hands and kissed. Therefore, the scene just now was quite shocking for her. Kong Zhao placed her hand on her chest to press it against her beating heart.

After a while, Cheng Fang walked out of the living room with a cigarette between his fingers. Kong Zhao’s face, which had finally returned to normal, turned red again. She turned her head to look elsewhere and said angrily, “Why didn’t you close the door when you went to the bathroom?”

Cheng Fang walked to the sofa and sat down. As he smoked, he looked at the angry Kong Zhao in front of him and felt amused. He held back his mischevious smile and said, “You know that the bathroom door is broken. I haven’t had the time to fix it these two days. I’ll find time to fix it today.”

Only then did Kong Zhao remember this matter. Actually, it was her fault for not paying attention and checking if there was anyone in the bathroom. Thinking back to what she had said just now, she felt that she was being unreasonable, and she felt a little awkward.

Coincidentally, the phone in the room rang. Kong Zhao hurriedly ran back to the bedroom.

After she picked up the phone, a sweet female voice sounded. “Hello, Miss Kong. This is the human resources department of the CF Group. There was a small problem with the written test yesterday. The HR team gave the wrong paper. Do you have time to come to our company at 9: 30 this morning?”

Kong Zhao was stunned. Did she still have a chance? She hurriedly replied, “I’m free!”
