Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Interview Opportunity

"Mr. Fu?" Seeing Fu Yihan unresponsive, Su Qingnuan couldn’t help but remind him, "Are you tired?"

Snapping back to reality, Fu Yihan glared at her, his brow slightly furrowed. "What nonsense are you talking about? I was just thinking about something else."

"Oh... I see." Su Qingnuan leaned forward, getting closer. "Mr. Fu, have you made up your mind? About your preferences, and..."

"No." Fu Yihan decisively interrupted her, frowning. "Why do you spend every day thinking about irrelevant things? Rather than that, you should read more. Are you confident about our company’s interview?"

"Huh?" The abrupt change in topic caught Su Qingnuan off guard.

"If you’re not prepared, why aren’t you hurrying to get ready? Do you think you have plenty of time left?"

"... Got it."

She initially approached out of curiosity, but now there was no need for further probing, as she’d been directly sent away.

Sighing helplessly, Su Qingnuan went upstairs.

...

That day, who knows what the old man said to Fu Yixing. Anyway, Fu Yixing stopped mentioning the matter of marriage, but the way he looked at Fu Yihan grew increasingly hostile.

Yet Fu Yihan ignored his looks every day, acting as if he hadn’t noticed a thing.

Even someone as easygoing as Su Qingnuan couldn’t help but admire Fu Yihan.

The interview date was drawing closer, but oddly, Su Qingnuan’s nervousness seemed to gradually subside.

On the day of the interview, she and Gu Xiaoxiao carpooled to the company.

Adjusting her clothes, Gu Xiaoxiao glanced at the person beside her and said curiously, "Why don’t you look nervous at all?"

"Nervous?" Su Qingnuan tugged at the hem of her shirt and forced a smile. "I am nervous."

"Really nervous?" Carefully studying Su Qingnuan’s expression, Gu Xiaoxiao shook her head. "You don’t look it."

"So, just because I don’t seem nervous to you, I’m not?" Su Qingnuan wiped her forehead and then held her hand out to Gu Xiaoxiao. "Look, it’s sweaty."

"..."

Confirming Su Qingnuan’s nervousness only made Gu Xiaoxiao increasingly anxious. Like someone with ADHD, she twisted and turned, making Su Qingnuan feel a little irritable.

Finally, the car stopped, and Gu Xiaoxiao got out, waving cheerfully at A Qi. "Thank you, A Qi!"

"Young madam, I’ll pick you up later at school."

"Alright."

After bidding farewell to A Qi, the two looked up at the towering building. Gu Xiaoxiao exclaimed, "No wonder it’s one of the top ten companies."

Gently nudging Gu Xiaoxiao’s back, Su Qingnuan whispered, "Hurry up—stop marveling. We’ll lose our spot otherwise."

Today’s interview had a limit—only the first twenty participants were allowed in, which meant aside from ability and luck, you also had to be fast.

Because of this, Su Qingnuan had specifically asked A Qi to drive them here.

Even though they had arrived half an hour early, they found a long line already formed at the company gate.

"Are you all here for the interview?" Gu Xiaoxiao grabbed someone and tentatively asked.

The person rolled their eyes at her and pulled away. "Of course I’m here for the interview. Why else would I wait so long out here?"

"..."

Looking at the seemingly endless line ahead, Gu Xiaoxiao sighed in frustration. "This line is way too long!"

"...Yes, it is." Su Qingnuan frowned, tiptoeing to peer ahead. "Even though we arrived half an hour early, why are there so many people...?"

"You only came half an hour early? Some folks got here two hours ago—they’re already inside waiting."

"Two...two hours?" Su Qingnuan was stunned. "Don’t they need to eat lunch? The interview doesn’t start until 2 PM!"

"What’s more important, work or lunch? Of course, it’s securing an interview spot!"

"..."

Clearly, Su Qingnuan and her group hadn’t put in enough effort.

Leaning against the door frame in defeat, Su Qingnuan sighed, "Looks like we don’t stand a chance today."

"Don’t worry!" Gu Xiaoxiao patted Su Qingnuan’s shoulder with an optimistic smile. "We still have tomorrow! Tomorrow, we’ll definitely make it!"

"What do you mean tomorrow?" Nearby, someone who couldn’t stand idle chimed in, "They already announced the new rule—it’s just today."

"What?" Gu Xiaoxiao’s eyes widened, staring at the person. "When did it change?"

"Just yesterday—you can check for yourself."

Quickly pulling out her phone, Gu Xiaoxiao visited the official website. Sure enough, a notice about the change of date was posted.

Both of them had focused entirely on preparing their interview materials and forgot to check for updates regularly.

Gu Xiaoxiao looked at Su Qingnuan miserably. "Qingnuan, what do we do now?"

With just one interview day, it made sense so many people had shown up...

"We wait." Su Qingnuan pressed down on Gu Xiaoxiao, squatting. "Since the date was changed, the number of people will inevitably increase. We might still have a chance."

Looking at the seemingly endless line ahead, Gu Xiaoxiao asked reluctantly, "Do you really think we still have a chance? It doesn’t look promising..."

Su Qingnuan’s heart was pounding too, but having come this far, she didn’t want to leave empty-handed.

Resolving herself, Su Qingnuan squatted down and waited quietly.

As more people arrived, the line grew longer and longer.

When 2 o’clock struck, the alarm went off, and finally, the staff appeared.

At 2:15, quite a few people began walking out from inside.

"That fast?" Gu Xiaoxiao stood up, curiously peering inside.

A group of people soon exited, their faces looking grim.

"Did they fail?" Gu Xiaoxiao whispered to Su Qingnuan.

Su Qingnuan slightly shook her head and pressed down on Gu Xiaoxiao’s head. "Don’t talk."

As more people exited, they began moving forward.

After over a hundred people left, suddenly the line stopped ahead.

"Who is Su Qingnuan?" A loud voice suddenly echoed through the hall.

Su Qingnuan froze. Everyone turned their heads, searching around.

Hunching her shoulders, Su Qingnuan slowly raised her hand and called out, "That’s me."

The staff in a black suit walked up to Su Qingnuan, glancing behind her.

"Starting from here, count forty people backward. All of you have secured interview spots."

"..."

The atmosphere froze for a moment, quickly followed by cheers erupting.

"What? I didn’t mishear, right? I made it in!"

"Holy crap! This is so lucky!"

"Oh my God! I’d lost all hope, but somehow, I got in for the interview!"

"Qingnuan, Qingnuan! We’re in for the interview!"

Shen Zhiliu pushed away the wildly shaking Gu Xiaoxiao and pinched her own cheeks in disbelief. "Am I dreaming?"

"No! You’re not dreaming, and neither am I!" Grasping Su Qingnuan’s hand, she whispered, "I don’t know why, but we all made it in for the interview!"

"We made it in!" Clutching her documents tightly, Su Qingnuan’s eyelashes trembled. "We didn’t miss it!"
