The first impression she gives when she stands there is one of purity. The clean, innocent charm unique to female college students who haven't yet graduated.

However, her figure was completely at odds with her innocent appearance. The white shirt was stretched slightly tight on her body, revealing her full and high breasts, while her waist was extremely thin.

After entering, he clasped his hands together in front of him, bowed slightly to greet them, sat down in a chair with his back straight, his knees together and slightly turned to one side, and his hands placed neatly on his knees, as upright as a primary school student.

Lin Feng noticed that her fingers, which were resting on her knees, were trembling slightly, and her Adam's apple bobbed slightly, but she still tried to lift her eyes and look in the direction of the interviewer.

Li Juan stood up at the opportune moment and said that she and Minister Lu would go out to organize the evaluation forms for the first few candidates, and that General Manager Lin would conduct the last interview alone.

The two people, each carrying a water glass, left the meeting room one after the other, and the door closed gently behind them.

Only Lin Feng and Ma Qingqing remained in the conference room. Looking at the young boss before her, Lin Feng's palms were already damp with sweat.

She repeatedly told herself that no matter what tricky questions he asked, she had to answer them properly and not make the same mistake she did in the last interview.

But to her surprise, Lin Feng's first words were much gentler than she had expected.

Lin Feng flipped through her resume, his face relaxed and unhurried like the previous interviewers. Instead, he spoke casually, "Ma Qingqing, Economics major from the School of Business at Hohai University? Your grades on this resume are excellent; you received the university-level scholarship for several consecutive years. Vice President of the Student Union, what were your main responsibilities back then?"

The tone wasn't like an interrogation, but more like chatting casually with a fellow alumnus. Ma Qingqing paused for a moment, her previously tense shoulders relaxing slightly.

"Hello, Mr. Lin. Yes, I am mainly in charge of the Academic Affairs Department and have organized several school-level debate competitions and academic lectures. However, those are all school-related matters and may be quite different from actual work. I put these on my resume mainly to let the interviewer think that I was proactive and ambitious during my time at school and did not waste my time."

Towards the end, she became embarrassed, pursed her lips, and unconsciously rubbed her fingers together on her knees.

Lin Feng looked at her serious and somewhat earnest expression and smiled slightly. "You're quite honest. Many people exaggerate their student council experience during interviews, but you're actively undermining your own. Actually, you don't need to be too nervous. Today is just a casual chat. I also graduated from Hohai University, one year below you, majoring in Business Administration in the School of Business. So, I should call you senior."

Ma Qingqing's eyes widened slightly, and a hint of surprise flashed in her pupils behind her glasses.

She never expected that the other party was a junior from the same school, and she was even more surprised that he would bring up this relationship so casually. "President Lin, you're also from Hohai University?" she blurted out, her tone filled with undisguised surprise. The previous tension was largely dispelled by this sudden information.

"Yes. I'm from the business school."

Ma Qingqing relaxed considerably after hearing this and chatted with Lin Feng about school for a bit. Lin Feng, noticing the fleeting smile on her face, didn't press further about her studies and instead changed the subject to her work experience. "You interned at a trading company for a few months before, why didn't you stay?"

Ma Qingqing's smile faded.

She stared at her fingertips, head down, hesitating for a long while, her ears slowly turning red. Lin Feng didn't urge her, but simply leaned back in his chair and waited quietly.

He noticed that she would gently pinch her palm with her fingernails when she was nervous. This subtle action reminded him of when Wang Yue pinched the back of her hand in the same way when she first accompanied him to a dinner party.

"My direct supervisor at that company, during my third month of internship, kept me behind one night after I finished working overtime and said he wanted to talk to me about becoming a full-time employee. He said... he said that if I wanted to become a full-time employee, I would need to accept some 'additional conditions.' I was terrified at the time, and the next day I handed in my resignation letter and left without even taking that month's salary. It wasn't that I couldn't handle hardship or that I was overly ambitious; I just didn't want to do that. After that, I looked for a job for a long time, and every time I reached the final interview, the interviewer would ask me why I only stayed at my previous company for three months. If I told the truth, they thought I was spreading rumors. If I didn't tell the truth, I couldn't explain the gap period during that time."

After speaking, she raised her eyes to look at Lin Feng, then quickly lowered them again, rubbing her hands back and forth on her knees.

Lin Feng remained silent for a moment.

Unlike the previous interviewers, they didn't press for details or show any judgment. They simply changed the subject naturally.

"When you were in school, besides student council activities, did you learn any job-related skills?"

"I've learned Excel and PowerPoint, and I've also taught myself some basic accounting knowledge and obtained an accounting qualification certificate. Although it's not up to the standards you require, I can learn. I learn very quickly, and I'm very resilient under pressure."

After speaking, he looked up at Lin Feng again, this time his gaze lingered for a few seconds longer than before.

She noticed that the junior interviewer had very steady eyes; he looked at people without flinching or pressuring them, which made her feel inexplicably at ease.

Lin Feng nodded, flipped to the last page of her resume, looked at it, then closed it and placed it on his right, next to He Rui's. "Have you heard of the Centralized Procurement Department? It's a newly established department that mainly handles the acquisition, processing, and sales of Chinese medicinal herbs. The work is more varied than the business assistant position you're applying for, but you'll get to be involved in core business areas like supply chain management, warehousing and logistics, and customer relations. The department is just starting out, so there are few people and a lot of work; overtime is the norm, but there's also a lot of room for growth. Can you adapt?"

Ma Qingqing nodded vigorously almost without hesitation, her voice filled with undisguised gratitude. "I'm willing! I'll work in any department at Shuke as long as I can get in. Mr. Lin, I'm not afraid of overtime or a lot of work. I used to work until 10 p.m. when I was at the trading company. I just want to find a place where I can work steadily."

"Then it's settled. Go to the HR department tomorrow to complete the onboarding procedures. Wang Yue will guide you through the specific work."

Ma Qingqing stood up, bowed, said thank you, President Lin, then took two steps back before turning and walking towards the door.

The moment she opened the door, she glanced back at Lin Feng, her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end she said nothing, gently closed the door, and left.

After leaving the meeting room, I stood in the hallway and let out a long sigh of relief. The intense interview that had made me nervous for days had ended so peacefully.

She looked down at her still slightly trembling fingers, and a smile involuntarily curved her lips. It turned out her boss was her junior from university.

When she said, "If I think about it, I should call you senior," she seemed a little dazed.

I stood in the corridor for a moment, straightened my shirt collar, and then walked towards the elevator in my canvas shoes, my steps much lighter than when I came.
