On Monday, the employees of Sheng Heng Corp lined up in an orderly manner in front of the time clock in the hall.
Some were chewing on their breakfast, and some were reading on their phone. They went about their business without disturbing each other.
Lin Jiao, who was at the end of the line, became nervous because of the tense atmosphere.
Today was her first day at the company. In order to leave a good impression on her new colleagues, she woke up two hours early to put on makeup and do her hair. She even practiced smiling in front of the mirror several times.
While no one was looking at her, she took out a cosmetic mirror. After confirming that her makeup was perfectly done, she took the elevator to the second floor and went to the human resources department to settle the procedures.
"Lin Jiao, right?" The HR officer in her early thirties glanced at her and called out her name.
