Looking at the stars

Chapter 4 Getting a job is not easy

Gu Nianbei took the employment documents and went to the Human Resources Department himself.

After entering, no one paid any attention to him. Gu Nianbei found a female colleague who was closer to the entrance and glanced at the name on her desk: Andy.

Gu Nianbei walked over and stated his purpose.

Hello, I am here to report.

Andy, a female colleague from the HR department, heard the voice, adjusted the frame of her glasses on her nose, raised her eyes and glanced at Gu Nianbei. It would have been better if she hadn't looked at him, but her eyes were fixed on him once she did.

As the saying goes, like repels like.

Seeing a beautiful girl standing in front of him, Andy subconsciously straightened his back.

Her eyes fell on Gu Nianbei and lingered for a few times before she asked calmly: What position are you joining? Did you bring your documents?

Special Assistant to the President. Gu Nianbei responded and handed over the information in his hand.

What?! The CEO’s special assistant? Did she hear that correctly?

Andy from the Human Resources Department was stunned for a moment. She abruptly took the information handed to her by Gu Nianbei, flipped through it briefly, and became even more confused.

Gu Nianbei? Andy asked, frowning and muttering to himself: Why didn't I receive any news that the president's special assistant would come to join the company today?

After saying that, Andy stood up with the documents in his hand and told Gu Nianbei: You wait here for a moment.

Then Andy turned and went to the Human Resources Director's office.

Director, a woman named Gu Nianbei just came and said she is here to join as the president's special assistant. Andy handed Gu Nianbei's information to the director.

Special assistant to the president?

The director put down the work at hand, took the document and started reading it with a puzzled look on his face.

Has anyone interviewed this person? The director asked after flipping through a few pages of information.

Andy shook his head and said: I have no impression. I have never seen this person's resume before.

Maybe it was someone recruited by the higher-ups themselves. The director picked up the landline phone on the table, pressed a few buttons, and got through to the president's office.

After a while, the call was connected and the director said with a smile: Gary, a person named Gu Nianbei just came here and said he is reporting for the position of special assistant to the president. Is that true?

Yes, let her go through the process, the person on the other end of the phone said.

OK. The director smiled and answered. Just as he was about to hang up the phone, he heard the other end say:

Oh, by the way, don’t make things too easy for her, make it a little difficult for her.

Huh? This... The director was sweating coldly, thinking: Let him embarrass a special assistant to the president, does he not want his future life to be better? What is this Gary doing?

When the HR director was in a dilemma, Gary on the other end said: This is what Mr. Li meant.

Ok, got it.

After hanging up the phone, the HR director stared at the employment information in his hand and sighed.

Andy was confused. She asked quietly: What's going on? Is Gu Nianbei really going to work as the president's special assistant?

She was going to join the company, but her superiors meant that she had to be given some difficult tasks.

The HR director rubbed his brow, stood up and left his office, and Andy quickly followed.

Gu Nianbei had been standing there for quite a while. At this moment, she saw a man and a woman walking out of the HR director's office in the distance, and a slight smile gradually rose between her lips.

The HR director walked up to her like the wind. Seeing her up close, he was stunned for a moment. Then he lowered his head to glance at the information in his hand, raised his eyebrows and called her name: Gu Nianbei?

Yes, is there any problem? Gu Nianbei asked calmly.

Andy said you are coming to work as the president's special assistant.

The HR Director spoke in a higher voice this time, drawing curious glances from other HR colleagues in the office.

That's right, is there any problem? Gu Nianbei still repeated this sentence.

We have not received any notice that you will join the company, and we have not seen your resume before. Not everyone can join the position of special assistant to the president. Are you sure you are not mistaken?

the HR director asked aggressively.

Gu Nianbei just came to go through the onboarding process, but the HR director looked at her like this. Gu Nianbei now knew what was going on.

Shouldn't I be the one to confirm this? Gu Nianbei chuckled and asked slowly: Aren't you the ones who should do the confirmation?

The HR director coughed dryly. He didn't expect that Gu Nianbei was not someone so easy to deal with.

When a qualified human resources director encounters such a thing, shouldn't he first confirm the authenticity of the matter with the people in the president's office?

Gu Nianbei put his hands behind his back, took a step towards the HR director, and his expression turned cold.

If you haven't confirmed with your superiors yet and you're still coming here to question me, then it's a dereliction of duty on your part. Please go back and confirm before communicating with me.

Gu Nianbei's brows were cold as he stared into the eyes of the HR director and continued: If you have already confirmed it and still have this attitude towards me, then I should understand that you are deliberately making things difficult for me, right?

Gu Nianbei raised his eyebrows, approached him and asked: I would like to ask, will it be good for you in the future if I deliberately make things difficult for the new special assistant to the president?

Looking at Gu Nianbei, who was emitting a fierce aura, the HR director's Adam's apple moved up and down involuntarily, and he secretly broke into a cold sweat in his heart.

As expected, none of the CEO's special assistants are easy to mess with...

After being asked three questions in such an aggressive manner by Gu Nianbei, the HR director didn't know how to back down for a moment.

Oh! It's all Gary's fault. Why did he make things difficult for Gu Nianbei for no reason... Now things are really out of control...

The human resources director didn't give any response for a while.

Gu Nianbei straightened up, raised the hand holding the phone, waved it in front of the HR director, and asked with a smile: Or do you need me to call you personally to confirm it?

When the HR director heard this, he felt something was wrong and said with a smile: "No need! No need! It's my fault."

Then, the HR director said to Andy with a sullen face: Andy! What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and get Assistant Gu on the job! In the future, open your eyes and don't be blind. Don't question everyone you see. If you delay the important things that the president is doing, you will see if you can bear the consequences!

Andy, who was standing next to her, was mad at the director for no reason. She felt really aggrieved, but there was nothing she could do. The director was obviously trying to save face, so she could only swallow her anger silently. Trembling, she quickly took Gu Nianbei's information and started to process her entry procedures.

Gu Nianbei looked at the two of them from the side, and naturally understood what was going on here.

Seeing that Gu Nianbei had been standing by and waiting, the HR director nodded and said with a smile: "Assistant Gu, it will take some time to complete the entry procedures. Why don't you go back to the president's office first? Once the procedures are completed, I will ask Andy to send it to you."

Gu Nianbei raised his eyebrows, smiled and said: Okay.

After saying that, she turned around and walked out of the Human Resources Department in her high heels.

Seeing that everyone had left, the HR director sighed heavily and muttered: Sure enough, everyone in the president's office is an ancestor...

Andy, who was standing beside him, glanced at the HR director and asked curiously in a low voice: "Why do the higher-ups want us to give Miss Gu a difficult problem? Isn't this a trap for us?"

Don't try to guess what your boss is thinking, just do as he says. But you also have to be careful and keep some things in reserve, or you'll get yourself into trouble sooner or later. The HR director said with emotion.

But it’s strange. Mr. Li never recruits female assistants. Why did he make an exception this time?

The HR director muttered and went back to his office.
