Reborn in 78, I made my fortune by working in the mountains, supporting three families on my own.

"Some results may have surprised everyone, but you should not dismiss the assessment results based solely on your subjective impressions."

"Some comrades are introverted and not good at speaking, and they may not perform well in the interview, but they have solid professional skills and can perform steadily in the written test. This is exactly the kind of talent the position needs."

"Those who failed the exam should not be discouraged, as there is still one last admission spot that has not yet been announced."

Section Chief Zheng's words temporarily quelled the unrest at the scene and calmed everyone's emotions.

However, dissatisfaction and resentment have already quietly begun to grow among the unsuccessful candidates.

Everyone still clung to the last shred of hope, staring intently at Section Chief Zheng, hoping that the last spot would fall to them.

Sixteen candidates participated in the assessment, but only three were ultimately admitted.

Now only one spot remains, with fourteen people competing on the same stage, creating an extremely tense atmosphere.

Section Chief Zheng paused for a moment, then solemnly announced, word by word, "The third admitted candidate is Jiang Xinyue."

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone in the room turned their heads in unison, their eyes all fixed on Jiang Xinyue at the back of the crowd.

Jiang Xinyue was slightly taken aback at first, and then she finally realized that she had been successfully admitted.

The huge weight that had been hanging over my heart finally lifted, and all the tension and pressure of the past few days vanished.

She was overjoyed, but dared not show it at all.

Countless gazes converged from all around, many of them filled with jealousy and resentment. If she were to recklessly express her joy, it would only create trouble and invite criticism.

After all, many people had previously criticized her for her background.

The next second, a cacophony of voices rose and fell once again.

"Jiang Xinyue? She was accepted too! She truly deserves it!"

"I've said it before, Jiang Xinyue is truly capable. She consistently ranked in the top three in both assessments; her strength is undeniable!"

"But didn't someone say before that she came from a capitalist family? How could someone with that background get a job in a state-owned textile factory?"

"Besides, those are all old stories from the past. The one who was wrong was her father, what does it have to do with her? She lived a down-to-earth life in our Heping Brigade for five or six years, doing her job honestly and without any moral compass. How could she be considered a capitalist!"

Many insightful and rational women in the crowd had already been impressed by Jiang Xinyue's composure, humility, and outstanding abilities.

Faced with unwarranted criticism from others, they all took the initiative to speak up and defend Jiang Xinyue.

Hearing the voices of support around her, Jiang Xinyue felt a deep sense of satisfaction.

With her genuine talent and skills, she eventually won the recognition and respect of everyone.

She bowed slightly and gave a deep bow to everyone present.

This bow was both a polite apology to all the unsuccessful candidates, expressing a reluctance to show off and embarrass others, and a sincere thank you to those who spoke up for him.

His humble and polite behavior instantly won over most of the people present.

Many people who harbored resentment and secret jealousy also shut their mouths.

Everyone knew in their hearts that Jiang Xinyue was truly talented, humble and low-key, and of superior appearance and character.

Even if one feels resentful, there is no way to criticize or argue.

The three openings were decided on the spot, and all thirteen remaining candidates failed.

Among them was a female comrade named Huang Yourong who passed the initial test smoothly.

The biggest change in the two assessment lists was that she was replaced by Sun Xiaolian.

A strong sense of resentment welled up in Huang Yourong's heart, and her gaze toward Sun Xiaolian was filled with venom and indignation.

Overwhelmed by a wave of grievances, tears welled up in my eyes without my realizing it.

Section Chief Zheng addressed the crowd again, saying, "Alright, everyone, you all know the list of candidates hired for the finance positions. The official announcement will be posted tomorrow."

Those who didn't get accepted shouldn't be discouraged. Our Jinxiu Textile Factory will be making some big moves at the end of this year or early next year, and we'll likely be expanding our recruitment for various positions. Please keep an eye out for updates; we can still work together if fate allows.

"Alright, that's all for today. Everyone can go home now. Also, the three who passed the assessment, remember to report to the factory at 9:00 AM tomorrow. You can find them then..."

As Section Chief Zheng spoke, he looked up and glanced around the crowd, as if searching for someone.

At this moment, Liu Fang quickly waved her hand from behind the crowd.

Section Chief Zheng pointed at her and said, "By the way, when you come to report for duty tomorrow, first go to the Personnel Department to find Liu Fang, the Deputy Section Chief Liu. After completing the personnel registration, go to the Finance Department to find me."

Alright, that's all for now. Everyone go home.

After saying that, Section Chief Zheng turned and left.

Everyone stared at his departing figure, speechless for a long time, especially Huang Yourong.

For the other unsuccessful candidates, the re-examination is an extra opportunity. Even if they fail, they have more or less anticipated it.

Huang Yourong was different. Of the three people who were admitted in the preliminary round, she was the only one who was replaced by Sun Xiaolian, who was unknown and dressed fashionably, in the retest.

She was filled with resentment.

She didn't come to her senses until her friend, who had come to take the exam with her, gently touched her shoulder.

"Rong, don't be upset or angry. Maybe it's like what Section Chief Zheng said: some people aren't good at talking during interviews, but they're very good at written tests. Let's go back first."

Filled with resentment, Huang Yourong glanced at Sun Xiaolian, then pulled her friend and turned to leave.

As she left, she muttered, "I always felt she wasn't someone with real skills. No way! I have to investigate her thoroughly."

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Most people would stop to congratulate Zhao Qiuju and Jiang Xinyue when they passed by, as their strength was obvious to everyone and they won by sheer ability.

In this era, people are simple and honest. Even if cultured young people feel resentful when faced with someone who is truly superior to them, they have no choice but to admit defeat.

Sun Xiaolian, on the other hand, was met with a different reception; most people looked at her with cold eyes and full of doubt.

Sun Xiaolian didn't care at all. Now that she had been accepted, she didn't need to deal with these people anymore.

The others left one after another, leaving only three new employees who would become colleagues in the same department starting tomorrow.

Zhao Qiuju raised her hand to smooth her short hair behind her ear and extended her hand to Jiang Xinyue. "Hello, Jiang Xinyue, my name is Zhao Qiuju."

Jiang Xinyue politely extended her hand and shook hands with her: "Hello, I am Jiang Xinyue."

Zhao Qiuju smiled and said, "You're really impressive. I noticed you during the last interview. Although some people are unpleasant to talk to, I've always been very interested in international trade. My hometown is Dongguang, which is booming, and you can meet a lot of foreigners there. Have you ever met any foreigners?"

Zhao Qiuju talked more and more.

Jiang Xinyue answered calmly. She was far more knowledgeable than Zhao Qiuju, and was slightly surprised to hear that Zhao Qiuju was from Dongguang.

"Hello, I'm from Beijing."
