Meng Ning also turned to look.
The person approaching was Fu Tingxiu's chief secretary, Luo Cheng.
Meng Ning didn't know him, but Luo Cheng knew her.
However, this was also Luo Cheng's first time meeting Meng Ning, who was his boss's wife.
The male interviewer who had just humiliated Meng Ning gave a flattering smile, "Secretary Luo, why are you here? Did President Fu give any instructions?"
In Shengyu Group, Luo Cheng was like the emperor's trusted eunuch; who wouldn't show him respect?
"Just came to take a look." Luo Cheng didn't say it was on the president's orders. He deliberately walked to the interview table and glanced at Meng Ning's design drafts.
As a man, Luo Cheng wasn't interested in jewelry, but seeing Meng Ning's design drafts gave him an urge to see the finished product.
Seeing Luo Cheng looking at Meng Ning's design drafts, the male interviewer said with a smile, "Secretary Luo, this is a mistake by the HR department. I was just about to ask this interviewee to leave. How could Shengyu Group hire someone with just a high school diploma?"
Hearing this, Luo Cheng was glad he arrived in time; otherwise, the boss's wife would have been dismissed by this group of idiots.
Refusing to endure this humiliation, Meng Ning said, "If your company doesn't hire high school graduates, please don't post such information. Please return my design drafts."
Luo Cheng noticed the resume crumpled in the trash can and immediately understood the injustice Meng Ning had suffered.
"Miss Meng, on behalf of the company, I apologize for the disrespect shown to you. Since Shengyu Group posted such a recruitment notice, no one can disregard it. I've looked at your design drafts; they are very impressive. Our company values diplomas, but we value ability even more." Luo Cheng respectfully handed back the design drafts and asked symbolically, "Miss Meng, what is your original intention in designing jewelry?"
The chief secretary of Shengyu Group apologizing to an interviewee?
This shocked everyone present, making them secretly speculate if Meng Ning had some powerful connections.
Luo Cheng's humble attitude left a good impression on Meng Ning.
"I want everyone to wear jewelry designed by me. Some feelings that cannot be expressed in words can be embodied in the design, conveying mutual love and recording each other's most precious moments, allowing lovers to be together forever."
"Very good." Luo Cheng nodded and said, "Miss Meng, please go home and wait for our call."
Meng Ning was a bit puzzled. Was she being dismissed?
In her previous interviews, she was also asked to wait for a notification, which never came.
"Wait for our call" was the most polite way to say no.
Meng Ning didn't argue further, tucked away her design drafts and resume, and left.
As soon as she walked out, Luo Cheng told the male interviewer who had humiliated Meng Ning, "Go to the HR department to settle your salary. You don't need to come to work tomorrow."
Hearing this, the male interviewer's face changed dramatically. "Secretary Luo, why?"
Just because of that high school graduate, Meng Ning?
Could Meng Ning really have some significant background?
"You are responsible for recruiting talent for the company, yet you judge people with prejudice. How can you recruit talent this way?" Luo Cheng said, "If you're not suited for this position, then step aside for someone who is."
Luo Cheng didn't have the authority to fire company employees, but he knew Fu Tingxiu's temperament. Humiliating the wife of Shengyu Group's boss and still staying at the company?
The male interviewer never understood what kind of background Meng Ning had or what kind of person he had offended until he was fired.
After her interview, Meng Ning left, unaware of what happened afterward.
She didn't have much hope of being hired.
When she got home, it was almost 4 p.m. Meng Ning went to the market to buy groceries and then returned home.
As she stepped out of the elevator, she saw Fang Qiong directing a group of movers to move furniture into the apartment next door.
"Auntie," Meng Ning asked curiously, "Auntie, what's going on?"
"Xiao Ning, you're back." Fang Qiong smiled when she saw Meng Ning. "I bought the apartment next door. Starting today, I'll be moving in and we'll be neighbors. Xiao Ning, aren't you happy?"
Meng Ning was speechless.
A single apartment here costs at least tens of millions, and she just bought it?
Just to be her neighbor?
"Auntie, are you serious?" Meng Ning was stunned by the news. "You bought the apartment next door?"
"Yes," Fang Qiong said with a smile. "Now, when I'm bored, I can come over and chat with you. Oh, and I can cook too. If you ever crave something, just let me know and I'll make it. You won't have to work so hard."
The main reason Fang Qiong moved in was to personally matchmake Meng Ning and Fu Tingxiu. She wanted to become a grandmother as soon as possible, and she believed she had to step in as the mother-in-law to make it happen.
