Chapter 167: Chapter 163 Do you know who my second uncle is?

"Hewen, how much longer do I have to wait for my matter to be resolved?"

He had clearly agreed so readily before, assuring that she could get that French translation position, but in the end, she not only got nothing but was also thrown out by the security.

Hu Jiaojiao looked at him with obvious suspicion, as if questioning his ability and status in Aus City, such a look made Mu Hewen particularly uncomfortable, he took out a cigarette,

He wouldn’t admit that he was snubbed in front of Mu Shuoqian, Aus City would never hire her; the Mu Shuoqian he knew always kept his word.

"Why do you have to work at Aus City? If you want to be a translator, I know so many CEOs, I could easily find you a job somewhere else, and the treatment would certainly be good."

Hu Jiaojiao naturally wouldn’t say it was for Mu Shuoqian that she wanted to go to Aus City,

"Hewen, the reason I want to go to Aus City is because of you, I want to see you every day."

Apart from Mu Shuoqian, she didn’t care about anyone else, and Chen Yishu had long been a thing of the past; she even regretted that she once liked such an immature guy like Chen Yishu.

"Hewen, who is doing that French translation position now? Is it Gu Qili?" She clearly heard Gu Qili’s name in the conversation between Xiao Ran and Jiang Jingda, and besides Gu Qili, she couldn’t think of anyone else who could have pushed her out.

"How do you know Gu Qili?" Mu Hewen looked at her in surprise.

"She’s my classmate."

"So you’re classmates."

"Do you know her as well?" Hu Jiaojiao felt something was off, but Mu Hewen didn’t continue speaking. Instead, he got straight to the point, and Hu Jiaojiao flirtatiously exclaimed, "You’re naughty."

After the passion, Hu Jiaojiao still couldn’t help saying, "Ask your people to check if Gu Qili really got accepted for the position."

"Are you that concerned about her?"

"Just check it out." Hu Jiaojiao started acting all coquettish again, and unable to withstand her pestering, Mu Hewen picked up his phone and made a call, and soon got a call back.

After putting down the phone, he said: "She didn’t apply for the French translator; however, I saw her name on the waiter list at the French Restaurant."

"Waitress?" Hu Jiaojiao gasped in disbelief, but soon sneered in her heart, thinking that this is the place she held in Mu Shuoqian’s heart; otherwise, why would Mu Shuoqian have let her become a waitress? That French translation position must still be meant for her; was it a test perhaps?

Thinking this, Hu Jiaojiao became even more excited, grinding her teeth inwardly, Gu Qili, you poor thing, Mu Shuoqian doesn’t really love you.

Gu Qili was sitting outside in the corridor waiting for her number to be called; she hadn’t expected that even applying for a waitress position at a restaurant would have such a long queue, because aside from Australian University, it was also the first time Aus City was recruiting online, it seemed they signed some agreement with a third party.

"The requirements from Aus City are so high this time; you need to have passed level four in French." Next to her, two women were whispering.

"Exactly, only at Aus City right, they have such high requirements even for a waitress, but I’ve heard the treatment is unbelievably good, almost like the managerial level at an ordinary hotel."

"That’s why so many people are desperately trying to get in. Ah, I wonder if my qualifications are enough."

Listening to their conversation, Gu Qili felt it was overly exaggerated, was this really just a recruitment for waitresses?

However, she had also heard some rumors that Aus City’s French restaurant was renowned throughout Aus City, with expensive prices, top-notch service, and fresh food quality, not something everyone could afford. The main highlight was the vineyards, which were famously the signature attraction of this place.

Aus City’s tourism industry was highly developed, attracting countless tourists each year, which was why there were specific requirements for French language skills for applicants.

Since the competition was so fierce, Gu Qili didn’t dare to take it lightly; as she was meticulously reading the development history of the French restaurant, she suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Yi, just wait here, I have arranged everything else."

Gu Qili looked up, and right there, Qi Meihui and a long-haired beauty were walking towards her. Initially, she wanted to pretend not to see them, but Qi Meihui, with sharp eyes, spotted her, glanced at her resume in her hand, and instantly understood, a scornful smile appeared on her face, it seemed like Mu Shuoqian didn’t care much for his darling wife, to let her apply for a waitress at the restaurant among so many positions in Aus City.

"Aunt, did you see someone you know?" The girl next to her also noticed Gu Qili, among so many girls applying, she was the only one who was significantly more beautiful.

Accustomed to being flattered and praised from a young age, Luan Yi felt a strange jealousy when encountering a woman more beautiful than herself.

"It’s nothing." Qi Meihui withdrew her gaze, patted Luan Yi’s hand, "I’m going to work now, you can find me in my office after your interview is done."

"Okay, aunt."

At this moment, someone came looking for Qi Meihui, shouting from afar "Manager Qi", and Qi Meihui left with that person.

The candidates around were all curiously looking at Luan Yi, who came with Qi Meihui. And since Qi Meihui was the manager here, she probably had a strong backing, and getting her hired seemed like no issue at all.

However, they were all puzzled, since Luan Yi was so well-acquainted with Qi Meihui, why would she come to interview for a mere waitress position.

Gu Qili withdrew her gaze and started looking at the brochure again, only to be interrupted by a haughty voice: "I want this seat, get up."

Because the corridor was crowded and chairs were limited, those without seats had to stand. Gu Qili arrived early and had secured a seat. Each person’s interview time was uncertain, and waiting all afternoon was a possibility, so those without seats had to simply accept their bad luck.

Gu Qili looked up and saw Luan Yi with a proud face. Her features were delicate, but she exuded an air of arrogance that Gu Qili disliked.

Gu Qili pointed to her seat and said, "I only give up my seat for the elderly, the weak, the sick, and the disabled. Which one are you?"

Luan Yi did not expect her to talk back, and glared at her angrily.

"Oh, right, if it’s for a pregnant woman, I would also accommodate. You don’t seem to be elderly, weak, sick, or disabled. Are you pregnant? How many months?"

Having said that, she even stared at her stomach, and so did everyone else.

"What are you babbling about, she’s not even married, she doesn’t even have a boyfriend," Luan Yi said with a flushed face, pointing at Gu Qili.

"Isn’t it just Qi Meihui?" Gu Qili said disdainfully, as if the name did not matter to her in the least.

Luan Yi was stunned, she actually knew Qi Meihui, and even appeared indifferent towards her.

Gu Qili countered her argument: "Do you know who my second uncle is?"

Luan Yi paused: "You... who is your second uncle?"

"My second uncle is Mu Shuoqian."

Others might not know of Mu Shuoqian, but Luan Yi does, her face turned pale and she looked at Gu Qili seriously.

At this moment, everyone around was watching the two of them as a source of entertainment, on the other side, a few people gathered around a tall figure rapidly walking through the corridor.

The words that Gu Qili spoke weren’t loud, but given the small corridor, they still carried.

Xiao Ran glanced at Mu Shuoqian whose face had suddenly turned dark, barely holding back his laughter, and soon, this group of people disappeared behind the doors.

"You’re spouting nonsense again," Luan Yi obviously didn’t believe it.

"If you don’t believe me, go ask my second uncle." Just as Gu Qili finished speaking, someone inside called her name, it seemed it was her turn.

The interview in the conference room was going smoothly until the president himself came, saying he wanted to join the interview.

The interview was managed by the HR department’s vice-manager Li Xiangtian and the manager of the French Restaurant, Qi Meihui. Seeing Mu Shuoqian enter, Li Xiangtian hurriedly moved next to Qi Meihui, freeing the seat next to him, knowing the president disliked sitting beside women, Qi Meihui being his sister-in-law was no exception.

Qi Meihui did not expect that Mu Shuoqian would personally come down for Gu Qili, hence she looked at him more intently, while he, looking straight ahead, sat down and picked up a resume from the table.

"Mr. President, may I call the candidates in now?"

Mu Shuoqian nodded, his eyes fixed on the photo of Gu Qili on the resume, which was taken two years ago. In the photo, she had her hair tied in a ponytail, showing her smooth forehead, smiling with the corners of her mouth curved like a crescent moon, looking four or five years younger than in person, emitting a vibrant, youthful aura.

Suddenly, Mu Shuoqian held the resume and tilted his head back, seemingly wanting to speak to Xiao Ran, who moved with fluid steps unnoticed by others.

Xiao Ran was puzzled.

Soon, Gu Qili knocked on the door and entered, politely greeting the interviewers, and as she raised her head, she froze upon seeing the stern man sitting behind the desk, her facial expression unnaturally twisted.

What’s going on, is she seeing things? Why would "her second uncle" appear here?
