In the lobby, there were two security guards holding batons.
As they saw Long Fei enter, they immediately came over to stop him and sized him up, saying, "What are you here for?"
Long Fei explained, "I'm here for a job interview as a security guard. The HR department asked me to come in for orientation today!"
The two security guards laughed upon hearing this, "Oh, a colleague then!"
"Go over to the front desk and register!"
One of the security guards pointed to the front desk in the middle, where two girls were sitting, each looking prettier than the other.
Long Fei finally understood what that college buddy had told him during the job application. Working here wasn't about the money; it was about the view.
After he approached, he explained his situation.
One girl was stealthily cracking sunflower seeds, her face cold, not bothering to deal with him.
The other was very enthusiastic, took out a booklet for Long Fei to register his details, made a phone call, and told Long Fei, "Go up to the second floor and look for the recruitment team in the HR department, they will take care of your onboarding process!"
Long Fei thanked her, his eyes briefly scanning her name tag.
Her name was Wang Xiaoya, which sounded very pleasant.
It was the prime work hour.
Not many people were around, and he was just about to head up to the second floor.
A girl ran over, panting slightly, and said to him, "Forget it, I'll take you up!"
This girl was none other than Wang Xiaoya.
She had tied her hair up in a ponytail, wore a black professional skirt suit, around 1.65 meters tall, with an oval face, not particularly large breasts or buttocks, the petite and delicate type of beauty.
"What's your name?"
She turned back and asked suddenly.
Long Fei promptly straightened his posture and hurriedly said, "Reporting to the leader, my name is Long Fei!"
Wang Xiaoya covered her mouth and chuckled, "Don't be nervous, my name is Wang Xiaoya, I'm just the receptionist here, hardly a leader!"
Long Fei scratched his head and gave a silly smile.
Wang Xiaoya explained to him, "This company is quite big, with twenty-one floors belonging to various departments, and a lot of leaders. You should only call those wearing suits and with a bit of a belly 'leader'. Otherwise, if you get it wrong, they'll laugh at you!"
"Got it!"
Long Fei nodded.
When the elevator arrived, Wang Xiaoya took him to the second floor.
She walked with a particular grace, like a model on the catwalk, a far cry from how village women walked where Long Fei was from.
Following her, his heart was full of gratitude.
On the second floor, the HR department was divided into several groups.
Each group had its own area.
Without Wang Xiaoya leading the way, he would have been lost all morning.
They reached a glass door, and Wang Xiaoya sweetly told him, "Okay, this is the recruitment and training group. A few other applicants for security positions just arrived. If you've got any questions, you can ask them!"
"Thank you so much!"
Long Fei didn't know what else to say as he looked at her.
Wang Xiaoya waved off his thanks gracefully, "No need for formalities, we're going to be colleagues after all!"
As she walked away, she gave Long Fei a wink and a smile.
Her ponytail swung, leaving behind a faint fragrance that made Long Fei's breath catch.
He straightened his clothes and opened the glass door to go inside.
In the hall, there were rows of seats, much like in a bank.
A few people were holding forms, chatting in small groups.
One of them eagerly waved at Long Fei.
Long Fei frowned slightly, recognizing the senior student who had been in line ahead of him the previous day.
He came over, threw his arm around Long Fei's neck, and asked in a whisper, "Dude, did they really hire you?"
Long Fei smiled and asked him, "Where do we complete the paperwork?"
```
The guy pointed at the glass door opposite and said to him, "There's a queue inside; just go in and follow them to handle the paperwork. Once you're done, let's have a drink to celebrate, brother!"
Long Fei nodded and went inside.
Inside was the clerical office, where five or six girls were sitting and clacking away at their computers.
When it was Long Fei's turn, the clerk registered his information on the computer and asked about his academic qualifications. Long Fei reported that he had finished high school.
The clerk frowned and teased Long Fei with a smirk, "That's not right. The minimum requirement for our employees is a college diploma. Did you get in through the back door?"
"No, I applied based on my abilities!"
Long Fei blushed and corrected the clerk.
The clerk curled her lip into a smile, "Just kidding, lighten up!"
She took a temporary badge and handed it to Long Fei, asking him to wait outside in the lobby.
After Long Fei left, a burst of laughter erupted from the people in the room.
A group of women mocked, "A mere security guard boasting about abilities, this guy is quite the character!"
"Well, he's big and bulky with lots of strength, of course he's got abilities, right?"
"How do you know he's strong, have you been held by him or something?"
"Get lost, what nonsense! How could my man possibly be a security guard, he's got to be at least a white-collar worker!"
Long Fei felt frustrated outside listening to this, really wanting to shout something back at them.
Such old hags, they truly lack the quality of Wang Xiaoya.
The senior brother saw him come out and quickly pulled him over to sit down in the lobby.
He patted Long Fei and consoled, "What's wrong, got a hard time in there?"
Long Fei nodded.
The guy joked with a playful grin, "Think nothing of it, we went through the same thing when we joined. Those are white-collar office workers, it's normal for them to look down on us security guards."
Long Fei asked him, "Doesn't it bother you?"
He laughed, "Why should it bother me, I'm here to look at the beauties, not to see their moods. If you're really angry, let's wait for them on the road when it gets dark, take them by surprise, and cop a feel!"
"Forget it!"
Long Fei shook his head; he didn't have the nerve for that.
The two chatted for a while and introduced themselves to each other.
This guy was named Chu Feng and insisted his ancestor was Chu Liuxiang. He aspired to emulate his ancestor and flirt with girls all over the world.
Long Fei admired him, at least he was a straightforward man with a clear goal.
Soon, the lobby was full of people, with about fifty young men gathered.
Long Fei clicked his tongue, wondering why the company needed so many security guards.
In the whole building, he had seen only two at the entrance.
A scholarly-looking man came over, wearing glasses, and greeted the group of young men, "Hello, everyone, I'm Fang Ming, the head of the training group. From today, I will be responsible for everyone's training.
Our company has a dedicated training base, please gather at the company entrance at eight o'clock tomorrow morning, and a vehicle will take you there.
You will not only learn the basic skills required for security but also the corporate culture of the company. Those who pass the exam will be officially hired by the company!"
Someone with the same confusion as Long Fei raised their hand and asked, "Excuse me, team leader, may I ask how many will be eliminated in the end?"
Fang Ming replied, "It could be no one, or it could be everyone. Hence, you need to study seriously for this week. My hope is that all of you will pass!"
Another person inquired, "Does our company really need so many security guards?"
Fang Ming smiled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. As long as the company pays your salary, that's all that matters. How they are used is the company's business."
Everyone laughed at this.
After the meeting dispersed, they all got up and left.
"Let's go, have a drink together!"
Chu Feng flicked his hair and led Long Fei down the stairs.
As they passed the front desk, he waved at Wang Xiaoya with a gesture.
Wang Xiaoya smiled sweetly, while the one beside her remained cold-faced, not even glancing their way.
