Lin Wan'er stood in front of the skyscraper, the sunlight piercing through the early morning mist and illuminating the glass curtain wall with crystal clarity. She tilted her head, her eyes climbing upwards along the silhouette of the building that towered into the clouds, until she reached the logo at the top that glittered with the four big words "Gu Group". This was not only the landmark of the financial center, but also the dream workplace of countless young people.
Her heartbeat accelerated with the ticking of the second hand, each beat seemed to be a reminder of the upcoming challenge. Lin Wan Er took a deep breath as the air was filled with the city's distinctive scent - a mixture of car exhaust, coffee aroma and the smell of fresh paint. She walked through the revolving door and stepped into the spacious and bright lobby, and the cold air that greeted her made her shiver involuntarily.
The marble floor of the hall reflected the light, mirroring her nervous, expectant figure. Her footsteps echoed crisply on the smooth floor, accompanied by her heartbeat, as she took a step towards the elevator. She pressed the button for the floor she was going to interview on and the elevator doors slowly opened, she stepped inside only to find a man already inside.
He had his back to her, his posture was straight, wearing a customized suit, even if it was just his back, he exuded an aura that couldn't be ignored. Lin Wan Er's gaze was involuntarily attracted to him, and she felt an inexplicable nervousness and curiosity. She asked softly, "Excuse me, are you going to the 30th floor for an interview as well?" There was a hint of trembling in his voice.
The man turned around, it was an extremely sculpted face with deep eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate the heart. He lightly glanced at Lin Wan'er and nodded slightly before turning back and continuing to immerse himself in his own world. It was as if his gaze could penetrate the walls of the elevator and see further afield.
The elevator slowly rose, but the atmosphere was unusually grave. Lin Wan Er's heart raced, she felt an unprecedented sense of oppression, as if even the air had become thin. She peeked at the man, trying to find some clues from his back, but she couldn't see anything.
The man's aura was so powerful that Lin Wan Er couldn't help but feel nervous. She remembered the interview materials she had prepared and silently reviewed the questions she might be asked in her mind. However, her thoughts always drifted involuntarily towards this mysterious man, curious about his identity and his intentions.
"Ding", the elevator arrived and the doors slowly opened. Lin Wan Er hurriedly stepped out, but because of her nervousness, she didn't notice another figure outside the elevator.
"Ouch!" She bumped into someone, spilling documents all over the place. Lin Wan Er scrambled to crouch down to pick up the documents, her heart beating like a drum. Her movements looked a little clumsy, and the documents seemed like they were deliberately against her, scattering everywhere.
"Sorry, sorry!" Lin Wan'er hurriedly apologized, a hint of trembling in her voice. She raised her head, only to find herself looking directly at the man from the elevator earlier.
"You... You're Gu Ting Shen?" Lin Wan Er covered her mouth in surprise. Her voice echoed in the quiet corridor, making it extraordinarily clear.
Gu Tingxuan frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes as he looked at the girl who had suddenly barged into his office. His brows were locked, and his gaze was sharp, as if he could see into people's hearts.
"Who are you? Why are you here?" His voice was low and strong, carrying an unquestionable majesty.
Lin Wan'er opened her mouth, but realized she couldn't say anything. Her mind went blank, all of her preparations and practicing had all gone up in smoke at this moment. Her heartbeat accelerated, and her cheeks couldn't help but color a blush.
Gu Ting Shen's gaze lingered on Lin Wan Er's face for a moment, seemingly searching for something. His eyes were deep, as if he could see through her soul. Lin Wan Er felt an unprecedented pressure, as if all her disguises had been seen through by him.
She took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. She knew she couldn't just give up, she couldn't let this accident ruin her dreams.
"My name is Lin Wan'er, I'm here for the interview." Lin Wan'er's voice was weak but carried a hint of determination. Her eyes were clear, revealing an unyielding light.
Gu Ting Shen's brows stretched slightly as he seemed satisfied with Lin Wan Er's answer. His gaze lingered on Lin Wan'er's face for a moment before slowly moving away.
"An interview? Then you should go to the human resources department, not my office." There was a hint of playfulness in his voice.
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lin Wan'er's face as she realized that she might have gone to the wrong place. She stood up and straightened her clothes before picking up the papers on the floor.
"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Gu." Lin Wan Er's voice carried a hint of gratitude. She knew she had made a mistake, but Gu Ting Shen's reminder gave her a chance to correct it.
Gu Ting Shen didn't say anything else as he turned around and walked into his office, closing the door behind him. Lin Wan'er stood in the corridor, looking at the closed door, a wave of complex emotions welling up in her heart.
She knew that this was just the beginning. What she needed to face was not just an interview, but a whole new challenge. She took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions before continuing forward.
Lin Wan Er arrived at the Human Resources Department and found that there were already many people waiting inside. She found a seat and began to observe her surroundings. The Human Resources Department was decorated in a simple and modern style, with the company's promotional posters hanging on the walls, displaying the company's development history and corporate culture.
She noticed that many people were whispering and discussing the interview topics and possible interviewers. Lin Wan Er's mind could not help but feel a little nervous, but she tried to keep herself calm and believe in her own preparation and ability.
Time passed by, and the interview process gradually advanced. Lin Wan Er watched as one by one the interviewees walked out from the human resources department with different expressions on their faces. Some looked relaxed, while others looked dejected. She knew that each person's performance could affect their fate.
Finally, it was Lin Wan Er's turn. She stood up, straightened her clothes, and then walked into the interview room. There were several interviewers sitting in the interview room, and their gazes were all focused on Lin Wan'er. Lin Wan Er felt an unprecedented pressure, but she tried to keep herself calm.
The interviewers began to ask questions, and Lin Wan Er answered them one by one. Her voice was clear and her thoughts were quick, showing her professionalism and enthusiasm for her work. She could feel the interviewers' eyes scanning back and forth across her face and resume, assessing her abilities and potential.
After the interview, Lin Wan Er walked out of the interview room with a mixture of anticipation and anxiety. She didn't know how she had performed, but she had tried her best. She knew that no matter what the outcome was, it was all part of her growth.
Lin Wan Er walked out of the company building, the sun shone on her face, warm and bright. She looked up at the sky, her heart filled with hope. She knew that this was just a small step in her life's journey, but she believed that as long as she kept working hard, she would be able to realize her dream one day.
This, then, was her first encounter with Gu Ting Shen. Although it was just an accidental beginning, the gears of fate had already begun to turn, connecting their destinies tightly.
