324 Successful Interview
After Gu Qingming returned, she chatted with Zhou Fangfang for a while before taking out her computer and asking her to work on a few simple documents.
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “Welcome to our company!”
Zhou Fangfang was stunned at first, but right on the heels of that, she said excitedly, “Miss Gu, you mean that I’ve been accepted, right?”
Gu Qingming smiled and nodded. “Yes!”
However, Zhou Fangfang asked in confusion, “But what about my educational background?”
Gu Qingming shook her head and said, “I said that I prefer to look at character and ability. I heard from Sister-in-law that there’s no problem with your character. You’re a good girl. I’ve tested your ability just now. There’s no problem.”
Zhou Fangfang quickly calmed down and asked the most important question, “What about my salary?”
The salary of an office clerk was at the bottom of any company.
However, every company and every company had different positions for clerical staff.
Gu Qingming smiled and said, “The base salary for the first three months is 2,500 during the probation period. There’s also a full-time bonus and commission and other benefits. Don’t worry, it won’t be less than 3,000 dollars a month. How is it? Are you satisfied with this salary?”
Zhou Fangfang was stunned for a moment before nodding. “I’m satisfied, I’m satisfied!”
The office clerk position sounded nice and comfortable, but the salary was usually low. The monthly salary was between 1,800 to 3,000 yuan.
After studying computer science, Zhou Fangfang worked as an office clerk. Her highest salary was only 2,800 yuan.
Therefore, she was really satisfied with Gu Qingming’s salary now.
“What happens after it becomes official?” Zhou Fangfang asked again.
“The base salary is 2,800 yuan!” Zhou Qingming said seriously, “My company is a small company at the moment, but it has strict rules and regulations. Don’t come to work casually and perfunctorily.”
Zhou Fangfang nodded and said, “Alright, I understand. I’ll definitely work hard!”
After walking out of Gu Qingming’s room, Zhou Fangfang looked very excited.
Zhou Xiaoyu, who was waiting at the door, immediately asked, “Fangfang, how was the interview?”
Zhou Fangfang smiled excitedly and replied, “Sister Xiaoyu, Miss Gu asked me to come to work tomorrow!”
“Huh? You’re coming to work tomorrow?” Eldest Sister-in-law clearly did not expect that she would get someone to work so quickly. She thought that she would have to wait at least until the office building was completed.
Zhou Fangfang nodded and said, “Yes, I’ll come to work tomorrow!”
Eldest Sister-in-law smiled and said, “That’s good. Work hard!”
“Okay, I’ll do my best. Thank you, Sister Xiaoyu!” Zhou Fangfang said gratefully.
Eldest sister-in-law waved her hand and said, “There’s no need to thank me. I just made an appointment for you. Whether you can succeed or not depends on you.”
“No matter what, I still have to thank you!” Zhou Fangfang thanked her sincerely.
“Alright, there’s no need to thank me. Hurry up and go back!” Eldest sister-in-law said in amusement, “Go back and pack up. Adjust your mentality and come to work. If you come to work here, it’s close to home. You can take care of your parents!”
Zhou Fangfang’s parents had only given birth to Zhou Fangfang and they were already quite old by then.
Zhou Fangfang smiled and said, “That’s right. When I first saw this company, I thought it was a scam. So, I thought of you marrying into a family Stoneback Village, Sister Xiaoyu, and asked Xiaoqing for your number. I just didn’t expect that it would be such a coincidence that this company was actually run by your sister-in-law.”
Zhou Xiaoyu said, “Yes. Mingming has strict requirements for recruitment. Since you passed, it means that she really likes your ability. Best of luck!”
“Okay, I’ll do my best!” Zhou Fangfang nodded. “Sister Xiaoyu, I’ll go back first. Talk to you later!”
After Zhou Fangfang left, Zhou Xiaoyu went to look for Gu Qingming.
At this moment, Gu Qingming was typing on the computer. Her sister-in-law asked, “Mingming, can Fangfang really do this job? Don’t tell me you hired her on my account?”
Gu Qingming shook her head and smiled. “Sister-in-law, don’t worry. Zhou Fangfang is a very motivated person. Her ability is alright, but she still lacks experience. However, this gap can be addressed in the future. There’s no problem with anything else.”
Zhou Xiaoyu immediately relaxed and nodded. “Yes, that’s good! Although Fangfang is only in her early twenties, her parents are already in their seventies. She’s always wanted to find a job at home so that she can take care of her parents. I just heard from her that she was worried that her salary would be too low if she works as an office clerk in her hometown. The entire family depends on her now. If her parents have any illnesses, she will…”
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Yes, she’s a filial person!”
With her parents around, she would not travel far!
Zhou Xiaoyu looked at her computer and said with concern, “Mingming, don’t be too busy. You still have to rest well for the next four months! These four months are equivalent to confinement.”
Gu Qingming nodded and said, “Yes, I know, Sister-in-law!”
…
Before they reached home, Zhou Fangfang’s parents were waiting anxiously at the door.
The old woman, whose temples had already turned white, kept poking her head towards the village entrance and said worriedly, “I wonder how the child’s interview went? What if they dont want Fangfang to work there? What should we do?”
The old man with gray hair next to her said impatiently, “What do you mean by that? Our Fangfang is such a capable girl. Which company doesn’t want her? That’s the company’s loss!”
To parents, their children were the best and most outstanding.
Old Madam Zhou rolled her eyes at him and said angrily, “Alright, when Fangfang comes back, don’t say that again!”
Old Zhou straightened his neck and said, “So be it! Anyway, our child is the best. Although she didn’t graduate from junior high school, she got into university by herself! There are a few university students in the village. Our Fangfang is one of them”
“My daughter is a college student. Aren’t you proud?”
Old Madam Zhou also nodded and said, “Fangfang works too hard! She works and goes to school at the same time. She paid her tuition fees herself!”
They felt that they were too useless as parents and had implicated their child.
Back then, Zhou Fangfang didn’t want to go to school because they were old and it cost money for her to go to school. Therefore, she dropped out of school and secretly followed the villagers to work outside of the village.
When they heard the news, they were both angry and worried.
Fortunately, the child was safe and sound. Otherwise, how could they survive?
As they were talking, Zhou Fangfang appeared at the village entrance on an electric scooter.
The moment she saw her parents, she stopped the scooter. “Dad, Mom, why are you at the village entrance?”
...
Old Zhou said, “Your Mom was worried about your interview, so she wanted to wait at the village entrance.”
Old Madam Zhou asked with concern, “Child, how was the interview? Did you pass?”
Zhou Fangfang nodded and said happily, “I passed!”
“Haha, that’s great! Come, let’s hurry home. Old woman, make a few good dishes later to celebrate.”
“Okay!”
