Chapter 162: Chapter 160 Don’t Be So Overbearing and Unreasonable

Given Mu Shuoqian’s way of doing things, Gu Qili would undoubtedly be aware that he had a vacancy for a French translator, and on this trip to France, he even took her along for an early internship—the position seemed tailor-made for her.

Xiao Ran felt that there must be a problem somewhere, but the problem wasn’t with him or Jiang Jingda, and certainly not with Mu Shuoqian; thus, there was only one explanation—the problem had to lie with Gu Qili.

Could it be that she hadn’t submitted a resume at all?

No matter where the problem originated, the fact that this issue had arisen meant he bore an inescapable responsibility, and punishment was inevitable. The key was how to resolve it.

Xiao Ran said solemnly: "Manager Jiang, let’s hold off on this matter for now. We cannot hire this person."

Jiang Jingda, discerning the gravity of the situation from his expression, nodded immediately: "I understand what to do."

Xiao Ran stood up and, suddenly recalling something, turned back and instructed: "If a student named Gu Qili comes to you asking about the interview, remember to notify me right away."

Although he thought the likelihood of that happening was very slim.

Jiang Jingda quickly acknowledged him.

Xiao Ran encountered Hu Jiaojiao as he walked out; she had just finished a tour of the premises and knew that Xiao Ran was an associate of Mu Shuoqian’s. She could well be his colleague in the future, but she had caught the name ’Gu Qili’ in their conversation.

"Hello," Hu Jiaojiao immediately greeted him with a radiant smile, "I am..."

Xiao Ran did not respond to her and simply walked away, leaving Hu Jiaojiao stamping her foot in anger. How dismissive these people were.

As soon as Hu Jiaojiao entered, the enthusiasm that Jiang Jingda had shown earlier completely disappeared. He coldly tossed her resume into a pile of books: "Miss Hu, you can leave now."

"Manager Jiang, when can I start working?"

"Did you not understand me? I said you can leave, and don’t come back in the future," Jiang Jingda said irritably, shooing her away as if driving off a fly.

He had felt that this woman’s disposition didn’t match the president’s requirements, and he was one hundred percent confident in the president’s judgment. It turned out he had indeed made a mistake in hiring her; the person the president really wanted hadn’t appeared in any of these resumes.

Upon hearing this, Hu Jiaojiao was stunned, as if she was cast down from the heavens to hell, she asked in disbelief, "How could this be? It shouldn’t be like this. Are you sure?"

Jiang Jingda disliked her questioning tone very much— who did she think she was? Just a student about to graduate, acting so entitled without any real substance.

"I don’t want to repeat myself a second time. If you don’t leave now, I’ll have to call security," Jiang Jingda said, his tone dropping colder.

Suddenly, Hu Jiaojiao seemed to realize something and, in an urgent tone, blurted out, "You’re looking to hire Gu Qili, aren’t you? Let me tell you, she has a terrible reputation. She used to be a social butterfly and has slept with countless men. Hiring her would tarnish Grand Lisboa’s reputation. How could she be worthy of entering such a high-class office building?"

Jiang Jingda didn’t listen to her, simply picking up the phone: "Security, come up here, please."

Soon, two security guards rushed in and, without a word, escorted a still disbelieving Hu Jiaojiao away.

"Let go of me, let go of me!" Her struggles didn’t change her fate of being thrown into the elevator.

Hu Jiaojiao, trembling with rage, pounded on the elevator doors and yelled out, "I want to see Mu Hewen, I want to see Mu Hewen!"

Unfortunately, no one paid her any attention.

"How can this happen? How can this be?" Hu Jiaojiao was thrown out of the building by the security guards; she squatted on the steps in front of the building, shivering non-stop. She had, after all, made arrangements with Mu Hewen, who had agreed to her terms. They had even been intimate, and now it had all come to nothing. This couldn’t be the end; she had to demand an explanation; she must enter the 24th floor openly and rightfully.

"She must be crazy," passersby glanced sidelong at her, whispering and pointing.

Only then did Hu Jiaojiao realize how disheveled she looked, indeed, like a madwoman.

She hurriedly got up and left in a flurry, not forgetting to cover her face.

After Hu Jiaojiao left, Jiang Jingda called Xiao Ran, who was in the middle of a progress report in the meeting room.

In the hallway, several workers were replacing the carpet, and the door to the president’s office was being dismantled and reinstalled. Because of Hu Jiaojiao’s sudden intrusion, many had been inconvenienced.

Xiao Ran was one of them.

Mu Shuoqian flipped through the resumes that Xiao Ran had brought from Jiang Jingda. Since the position of French translator had such high requirements, many were deterred from applying, and not many dared to send their resumes. Consequently, Mu Shuoqian quickly finished browsing them and tossed them aside indifferently, appearing to be in a rather bad mood.
