Chapter 0821 The Examiner

Who in this world needs money the most?

There is only one answer: the poor.

So no matter what happens, the poor dare not miss a chance to earn money.

Not everyone has a wealthy family and can happily live off their parents after graduation. Therefore, among the many interviewees entering Future Advertising, many were there for a job to support their families.

So when Zhao Fusheng started cutting in line, many people's first reaction was to loudly rebuke this rule-breaker.

And when that Future Advertising employee nodded to him, everyone realized that he probably knew this person.

"What's going on?"

"Who is that?"

"That's not right, he was just sitting here."

"A connection hire?"

Whispers of discussion arose in the narrow corridor.

Zhou Jing was even more surprised. Could it be that she had guessed wrong? That peer surnamed Zhao wasn't here to apply for a job, but was someone from this company.

At that moment, Zhao Fusheng had already walked into the meeting room.

"Why are you here?"

Seeing Zhao Fusheng, not only Dong Chenxi but even Bai Jie, who was presiding over the interviews, was quite surprised and came over to greet him.

Zhao Fusheng smiled lightly and said, "After all, I am the nominal head of the Planning Department. With such an important event as the company recruiting, what's wrong with me coming to take a look?"

Bai Jie shot Zhao Fusheng a glare and said bluntly, "Oh, so you do know you're the head of the Planning Department. I thought you had completely forgotten about it."

"Ahem..." Zhao Fusheng coughed dryly, feeling a bit embarrassed himself. After all, as the head of the Planning Department, he rarely took charge most of the time and was quite adept at being a hands-off boss.

One cannot consider a matter from only one angle, especially when one has no position to stand on, because at such times, no matter what one says, it risks sounding like an outsider offering glib advice.

Just like Zhao Fusheng now, no matter what he said, it was actually somewhat inappropriate, after all, the company had always been managed by Bai Jie and the others.

"Alright, sit over there and don't talk nonsense." Bai Jie glared at Zhao Fusheng and said.

It wasn't that she disliked Zhao Fusheng meddling in the company's personnel matters; it was just that, in her view, company management had its own rules. Zhao Fusheng usually didn't participate, and suddenly showing up now was still not quite appropriate.

Zhao Fusheng knew this himself, so he obediently listened to Bai Jie, found a chair, and sat down to the side.

It must be said that interviews have been portrayed too many times in many movies and TV dramas. Many people have a special sense of anticipation about interviews, thinking they must be very interesting—like the confrontation between examiner and interviewee, or legends of a Bole recognizing a swift horse. But in fact, it's a very boring affair.

The interviewee enters, the examiner looks at the resume, asks a few professional questions, and then simply asks the interviewee to introduce themselves. That is the process for most interviews.

Come on, this isn't "A Story of Lala's Promotion"; where would there be so much infighting and scheming?

Soon, Zhou Jing walked in. The moment he saw Zhao Fusheng sitting behind the row of interviewers, he was slightly taken aback.

Zhao Fusheng remained silent, watching Zhou Jing introduce himself according to the procedure and then answer the questions posed by Dong Chenxi and Bai Jie.

After Zhou Jing stood up and left, he got up, walked over to Dong Chenxi, and said in a low voice, "I want this person."

"Huh?"

Dong Chenxi was startled and looked at Zhao Fusheng in surprise: "You want him?"

Zhao Fusheng smiled and nodded: "Yeah, that's right, I want him. I'll personally mentor him later."

He felt that Zhou Jing was a promising prospect. After all, for a fresh graduate to recognize the essence of advertising and discard the flashy and insubstantial was actually no easy feat.

"Alright, I'll make arrangements later." Dong Chenxi nodded, not taking it to heart. For her, Zhou Jing was just an interviewee. Without Zhao Fusheng's words, he might have made it to the second round, but whether he passed the third round would depend on his luck.

With Zhao Fusheng's say-so, he no longer needed to participate in the subsequent interviews.

"Is this over?"

Zhao Fusheng glanced around and said to Dong Chenxi.

Dong Chenxi shook her head: "This morning session is over; there's still the afternoon."

Then she looked at Zhao Fusheng: "What made you think of coming today?"

Like Bai Jie, she knew Zhao Fusheng's habits all too well. He was not the type to sit quietly in the office every day. If he actually came to work obediently, that would be the strange thing.

Zhao Fusheng touched his nose, looking embarrassed.

After all, knowing one's own shortcomings is one thing; having them pointed out to your face is another. It was only because the speakers were old acquaintances like Dong Chenxi and Bai Jie that he didn't walk away immediately. If it had been anyone else, Zhao Fusheng would have left in a flash.

"Nothing much, just came to see if there are any good projects lately that I can take on." Zhao Fusheng blinked, looking serious as he said to Dong Chenxi.

Hearing this, Dong Chenxi was first stunned, then exchanged a glance with Bai Jie, sharing a look.

Confirmed through eye contact, this should be the right person, right?

Helplessly, this was the impression Zhao Fusheng always gave them. Usually, when asked to come to the company to write plans, he would put it off as much as possible. Now he was volunteering.

Hmph, nothing comes for free.

But Dong Chenxi also knew that although Zhao Fusheng was somewhat lazy, he always meant what he said. Since he said he wanted to take on advertising planning, whatever she gave him, he would definitely complete.

With that in mind, Dong Chenxi nodded: "I'm not sure about that. I'll have the planning department pick some out later, and you can take a look."

Since the last incident with Xiuzheng Pharmaceuticals, Dong Chenxi, following Zhao Fusheng's instructions, had been particularly strict in screening advertisements for food and medicine. She agreed with Zhao Fusheng's reasoning that matters involving human life should indeed be handled with extreme caution. If something went wrong, not only would the manufacturer be in trouble, but the advertising agency would also be implicated.

Future Advertising was currently in a rising phase, on the verge of transforming from a single advertising company into a comprehensive enterprise spanning advertising design and planning, as well as film and television investment and production. If problems arose because of this, Dong Chenxi would never forgive herself.

Therefore, at this point, she would rather choose a safer approach and absolutely not take any risks.
