Back to 1984: Earning Money, Raising Kids, and Keeping the Household Busy

After finishing their meal, Yu Anhe went to pay the bill, but Chen Xinyue quickly made up an excuse and paid the bill first.

Upon learning this, Yu Anhe couldn't help but scold him a couple of times before asking, "Where are you living now?"

"I just arrived in the capital and am currently staying in a hotel. I'll decide where to stay after I've researched the location of the SY multinational group," Chen Xinyue said, outlining her plans.

Seeing that she was calm and methodical, Yu Anhe was no longer worried. "Okay, I'll submit your application materials first and wait for the interview notification. You have the teacher's phone number, so you can contact her later if you have any questions."

After the two separated.

Chen Xinyue took a taxi back to her hotel room and began studying the information about the SY multinational group.

It wasn't until after 10 p.m. that I finally figured it out.

I have to say that the job that Yu Anhe introduced was really good.

Firstly, SY multinational group has a wide range of businesses, with industries both domestically and internationally. To put it bluntly, the job requirement for a secretary is to represent the president in social interactions. As long as one has high emotional intelligence, knows how to handle things, and doesn't have any ulterior motives, the career prospects are quite promising.

More importantly, she will gain a lot of knowledge, which will be very helpful for her career planning.

Finally, the group is located within the Third Ring Road, not far from the house her parents bought for her. If she goes to work there, she can just live in her own house without having to go through all that trouble.

at the same time.

Inside the president's office of the SY multinational group building.

Assistant Tang Ming walked in with a document. "President, Professor Yu Anhe just sent over a resume. I've already looked at it, and the qualifications are good, meeting our requirements. Should we arrange an interview?"

Xiao Jinlin looked up, and a face with sharp, chiseled features came into Tang Ming's view, with a hint of weariness and impatience between his deep brows and eyes.

"Your secretariat can handle this kind of thing. Same old rules, three-month probation period. If you can't even pass your test, then don't bother talking to me."

Tang Ming nodded respectfully. "I understand, President. It's almost eleven o'clock. The driver should be arriving soon. Shall we leave?"

He had a tough time, too. His boss was a workaholic, which meant that even he, as a lowly assistant, had to work until the wee hours of the morning. If it weren't for the high pay, who would be willing to work like a slave?

However, he could only keep these thoughts to himself and dared not utter a word of them. He secretly prayed that his boss would fall in love soon. As long as the boss was in love, he wouldn't focus on his work, and then he wouldn't have to work overtime!

Xiao Jinlin had no idea how much pressure his hard work put on his assistant. He glanced at his watch, then expressionlessly picked up his things and left.

Tang Ming hurriedly followed.

The next day, the secretariat received Chen Xinyue's resume.

Secretary-General Li Dehua immediately convened a meeting with his colleagues. His meticulous face was grave. "Comrades, another arduous task has arrived. Who will be in charge this time?"

The seasoned older sister, Lin Fei, tucked a stray hair behind her ear, raised the corners of her mouth, and parted her red lips slightly, "Boss, these conditions are quite good! It seems that Professor An wants to redeem himself! I just wonder what kind of trouble he will cause this time."

A mocking glint flashed in her eyes; she clearly wanted to see a good show.

Li Dehua had a headache. "I've interviewed so many people in the past few months, and it's been a complete mess. I've given up hope. Why is the CEO still insisting on hiring?"

Sitting at the other end, Cao Hui smiled and comforted him, "Boss, don't worry. Anyway, it's the president's order. As long as we do our job well, whether the other party can stay or not is not our concern."

The others nodded in agreement.

Li Dehua sighed helplessly, "Alright, Lin Fei, you tell them to come for the interview. We'll go together, and we'll also invite Assistant Tang."

"Received! I'll get on it right away!" Lin Fei left the meeting room excitedly in her high heels. Around 9:30, Chen Xinyue received the interview notification.

She was about to leave at that time, so she had to change her plans.

Since she was interviewing for a secretary position, her attire had to be formal. She didn't know anything about the other party yet, so to be on the safe side, she pulled out a suit she had prepared in advance.

This formal attire isn't a strictly black pencil skirt suit, but rather a beige shirt suit. Although it's also a pencil skirt, it's calf-length, paired with beige high heels, making it look elegant and dignified.

My hair is a perm I had when I went back to Anshi. I just need to style it, put on some light makeup, grab my bag, and I'm ready to go.

It was not even 11 o'clock when she arrived at the SY Multinational Group building by taxi.

After learning why she had come, the receptionist took a second look at her and personally led her upstairs.

In the conference room.

Lin Fei was still quietly betting with Tang Ming.

"The secretariat just suppressed the protests, do you want to participate?"

"How are you going to play this time?"

Lin Fei gave a wicked laugh and lowered her voice, "Three options: leave within a week, leave within a month, or fail the interview. Which one do you choose?"

Tang Ming stroked his chin, looking thoughtful. "Surely not! None of you think it's going to work?"

Lin Fei scoffed, "Several groups of people have already come. The single women with good conditions have high standards. If they really meet our CEO, would they still be interested in other men? It's only because I'm older and more experienced that I can keep my heart in check. Not everyone is like me!"

Tang Ming looked suspicious. "Are you sure it's not because of the age?"

Lin Fei glared at Tang Ming, "How annoying! I'm still young!"

Li Dehua coughed lightly twice.

The two turned around at the same time and saw Chen Xinyue standing at the door of the conference room.

Lin Fei looked Chen Xinyue up and down, and smiled, "Not bad, not bad, the young lady is quite composed! Come in!"

Chen Xinyue obediently sat down opposite the three people. From pulling out the chair to sitting down, her movements were swift and perfectly executed.

The three of them raised their eyebrows in unison.

Tang Ming was the first to ask in English, "Your name is Chen Xinyue, right? A graduate student who returned from studying in the UK?"

Chen Xinyue also answered in English: "Yes."

Why did you choose the secretarial position at SY Multinational Group?

Chen Xinyue explained very sincerely, "Because I just returned to the capital, this is the first job my teacher introduced me to. I think the benefits and compensation are quite good, so I agreed."

Tang Ming was surprised for a moment, then laughed, "You're quite honest!"

He had heard the same question from all the previous interviewees, and their answers were all the same – formulaic and based on formal evidence. He was tired of hearing it, so he was glad he came.

He continued with great interest, "Do you know what this job entails? It's very demanding. Not only do you need to be fluent in English, knowledgeable about wine, familiar with social etiquette, but you also need a certain aesthetic sense, crisis management skills, to accompany the president to cocktail parties, and to shield him from all sorts of trouble. Can you do that?" (End of Chapter)
