The disciple of Yue Lao

Chapter 144: Does it count if I’m good-looking?

Back in the mortal world at this time, Yan Lan was satisfied with Xia Yu's face and continued to look for a job on the street.

When the bosses first saw that she was pretty, they welcomed her to join the company very enthusiastically. But when she talked about salary, they basically ignored her.

In an ordinary small shop, who can afford to pay a salary of “600,000 yuan a month”?

"Eh? Look, isn't that the mysterious spokesperson who's been so popular recently?"

"A mysterious spokesperson?"

"Are you stupid? That's the unsigned spokesperson?"

"Ah...it's really her! Oh my god! She's so beautiful!"

"Hurry, hurry, take pictures and post them on WeChat Moments!"

The two girls walked past Yan Lan arm in arm, whispering to each other. Yan Lan continued on her way, not even bothering to look at them.

After being rejected again and again, Yan Lan came to another big company.

She saw a job advertisement online that this "prominent company" was recruiting a secretary for the general manager.

As soon as she saw the word "Recruitment", she rushed over and didn't even read the requirements for "educational qualifications" and "work experience".

After entering the company's building, Yan Lan was taken by a woman to the so-called "general manager's office."

Originally, a small matter like "recruitment" would be assessed by a dedicated person. However, the general manager of this company, Mr. Han Taihuan, had stipulated that all applicants who were good-looking would need to be personally reviewed by him.

Han Taihuan was sitting lazily at his desk. When he heard someone coming in, he was about to blame the other person for not "knocking on the door" with a cold face, but when he looked up and saw Yan Lan, he was stunned for a moment!

After swallowing the words that were on the tip of his tongue, Han Taihuan quickly stood up, extended his hand to Yan Lan, and said with a smile: "Hello!"

"Hello."

Yan Lan sat down casually in front of Han Taihuan. She knew that "shaking hands" was the etiquette for mortals to greet each other, but she just didn't want to "shake hands" with him.

Except for Lan Tian's hands, she felt that everyone else's hands were dirty.

Han Taihuan saw at a glance that Yan Lan was a person with a cold personality, so he naturally withdrew his hand, sat down, and said to Yan Lan very politely: "Please introduce yourself!"

"Yan..." Yan Lan was about to blurt out her name, but suddenly remembered that she was now facing Xia Yu's face, so she immediately changed her words and said, "Xia Yu."

"Yan Xiayu?" Han Taihuan asked.

"No, Xia Yu." Yan Lan replied.

"Oh, okay." Han Taihuan smiled and didn't ask any more questions, indicating that Yan Lan could continue.

"..."

Han Taihuan waited patiently for a while, only to find that Yan Lan had no intention of "continue introducing herself". He wondered: Does she think that "introducing herself" is just saying her name?
Never mind, she is pretty, let her be!

Han Taihuan adjusted his expression and said with a smile: "Yan... Miss Xia, please show me your resume. Or, if you have an electronic version on your phone, you can also send it to me via WeChat."

CV?
Yan Lan thought back and remembered that when Lan Yue was looking for a job before, he prepared a lot of documents, one of which had the word "resume" written on it.

Where does she have that kind of thing?

"I didn't prepare that thing." Yan Lan said frankly.

Han Taihuan was stunned: No? The applicant didn't prepare a resume? Are you here to make fun of me?
Although he felt very speechless, Han Taihuan still held back because of Yan Lan's beauty and continued to ask with a smile: "Then...if I don't know Miss Xia, how do I know if Miss Xia is suitable for this job?"

After hearing this, Yan Lan replied, "If you want to know something, just ask!"

"That's fine..." Han Taihuan nodded, and suddenly sat up straight, ready to ask Yan Lan questions. "Excuse me, Miss Xia, which university did you graduate from? What is your current academic record?"

“I don’t have any education.”

"Wha...what? No academic qualifications? Poor grades during college and failed the assessment?"

“I never went to school.”

"......" Are you kidding, young lady? Twelve-year compulsory education has been popularized for so long, and you tell me you have never been to school?
She had already said that she had never been to school, so he couldn't ask her "what major did you study?" Han Taihuan had no choice but to change the second question.

"Then... what is Miss Xia good at?"

"Good at it?"

Yan Lan thought about it and realized that if she could still cast spells, she would be good at everything. But now that she couldn't cast spells, she... didn't seem to be good at anything...

Han Taihuan expected answers like "computer expert", "financial management" and "negotiation expert". He thought, even the worst... should have some strengths like "photographic memory", right?
Unexpectedly, he heard an answer that made him drop his jaw.

"Does being good-looking count?" Yan Lan asked seriously.

After all, Xia Yu is good at matchmaking for mortals, but she is not!

If you think about it carefully, she really can't do anything without her magic.

I learned how to cook from Wang Guihua in the villa. After two days of learning, I tried to cook by myself. As a result, I burned seven rice cookers and eight cooking pots...

If she hadn't secretly bought a new pot and ingredients and replaced them, Wang Guihua would have discovered it long ago.

She didn't care whether others laughed at her or not, but she was mainly afraid that if Lan Tian knew about it, he would think that she couldn't do anything well and would dislike her...

"Miss Xia..." Han Taihuan couldn't help laughing, paused, and said: "Although you are very beautiful, that's a fact. But you can't regard it as a skill you are good at, right?"

This doesn't work, and that doesn't work. Yan Lan was a little impatient. She glanced at Han Taihuan and asked, "If you don't have good skills, you can't hire me, right?"

Under normal circumstances, when encountering such an applicant, Han Tae-hwan's normal reaction is to ask the other party to leave directly. A less civilized one is to "get out, get as far away as possible"!
but……

The Miss Xia in front of me is beautiful, so she is special!
"Not entirely..." Han Taihuan smiled, and saw some subtle changes in Yan Lan's eyes, and then asked: "Next question, I want to know, why does Miss Xia want to come to our company?"

Yan Lan didn't beat around the bush and replied directly: "I need money."

Direct enough!
After hearing this, Han Taihuan asked again, "I wonder what salary requirements Miss Xia has?"

The bosses before her fell silent when they heard about the salary, and some even fired her out directly.

Yan Lan hesitated for a moment, but still did not intend to reduce the salary, and said, "Six hundred thousand a month."

"Six hundred thousand?" Han Tae-hwan was shocked.

Of course, he was scared, not because their company couldn't afford the salary.

"Fengyun Group" is a large listed company after all. If they insist on paying 600,000 yuan a month, they can afford it.

What surprised him was that a person who "has nothing good except being pretty" actually asked for six hundred thousand. Where did she get the courage?
The key is... he actually wants to agree!
"Just tell me whether it's okay or not." Yan Lan urged.

Han Taihuan didn't answer for a long time, as if he was calculating this expense.

Yan Lan thought he refused, so she stood up and prepared to leave.

Seeing this, Han Taihuan hurriedly shouted to Yan Lan: "I agree!"
