Wipe Clean After Eating

Chapter 2: Falling into Enemy's Hands

I am sitting uneasily in the waiting area and watching the candidates being called in one by one into the interview room. When I see each one of them come out with a dejected look on their face, I am of two minds. On one hand, I am glad that they didn't get hired so the position is still available. On the other hand, I realize since even they failed to get hired, I am afraid there is even less hope for someone like me who had just offended an interviewer!

When a woman in the interview room, calls my name, suddenly my level of nervousness rises to the highest point. I take a few continuous deep breaths before finally feeling a little more at ease. Then I notice everyone around me are staring at me and the woman who just called my name is becoming a little impatient. Hence, I quickly take my bag and run into the interview room.

I see seven interviewers sitting inside the room. The one sitting in the middle is the main interviewer, whereas the others sit evenly on the left and right sides of him. The moment I step into the room, I immediately feel that I've time traveled back to ancient times. It feels like I am being put on trial, without the noisy shouting only. I look in front of me and right away I see that distinctly handsome, refined and extremely elegant man sitting in the middle as the main interviewer. On the tabletop in front of him, there is a card with his name on it: Lu Jun.

He has changed into a light blue shirt, appearing even more sexy, refined and handsome. When I am coming into the room, he is typing on the keyboard of his computer. However, when I am approaching the table, he immediately stops typing on the keyboard and leans casually on his rotating leather chair. Then, he picks up a pen, fiddles with it lightly and taps it gently on the tabletop. He calmly looks at my ill at ease face and seemingly gives me an enigmatic smile.

I am starting to have pins and needles in my feet, so I quickly hand him my resume with both of my hands and sit down on a small chair across from him. He lowers his eyes, quickly glances at my resume, immediately looks up, raises his eyebrows and asks: "Miss Xia, are you ready?"

I straighten my back to sit upright and nods my head earnestly. "Very good, then we'll start asking questions now." He nods his head slightly, looks at me without even blinking his eyes and uses a very formal tone to ask: "Miss Xia, please truthfully and in detail, tell us about your experience before coming to the company."

"Huh, experience ...... truthful and in detail ...... " I try to think about my own experience and immediately reply very earnestly: "Before I came to your company for the interview, I finished eating my breakfast at eight o'clock. Then I took a taxi from home but there was a traffic jam on my way here so I was delayed for about ten minutes. I took about thirty minutes to reach your company. In addition, I fell down on the stairs when ......"

"Okay." His calm, collected, graceful and handsome face becomes dark and he firmly interrupts me. Then, he also very firmly lifts up a pen to record down: "Completely lack of work experience and behave carelessly."

I: "...... = ="

In the midst of silent, I can see that the other interviewers are having difficulty, containing their laughter ......

I'm angry! Where got people like you, so sloppy in making judgement!? This is not fair! (Anger is useless ...... what people wrote is true.)

After finished writing, Lu Jun looks up again, ignores my protest, smiles gracefully at me and says: "Now, we proceed to the next question."

I take a deep breath and nod my head. I have learnt my lesson just now, so I am determined that this time, I must not expose my shortcomings again. Instead I must try to show my strengths la!

This time, he looks at the content of my resume fairly carefully, then slowly starts to talk: "Miss Xia, tell us which part of your resume do you feel most proud of? "
