I just want to take photos of them.

After parking the car in the underground parking lot, I took the elevator to the floor where the company was located. There were young girls gathered in groups of three or four at the door, and the front desk was receiving them one by one.

Xu Mo walked straight into the door with doubts in his mind. But suddenly, a girl with short hair embraced Xu Mo.

“You have to queue up~”

The girl uttered these three incomprehensible words without any emotion, her tone as dull as if she were reading a poem.

"what?"

Xu Mo was confused. When did he have to queue to enter his company? Suddenly, Xu Mo glanced at a sign above the front desk, which read:

"Guests applying for funding for the Rising Star Program, please get in line."

Xu Mo suddenly realized that he was being treated as an investment solicitation. It was estimated that this girl was also here to solicit investment and regarded him as a competitor who wanted to take advantage of the situation.

"You misunderstood. I'm not here to apply for this grant."

Xu Mo first made his position clear, saying that he was not her competitor, so that the other party would let down their guard.

"Is that so?"

I don’t know if it was Xu Mo’s illusion, but this girl not only had nothing, but also seemed to speak abnormally briefly, as if she would be exhausted to death if she said one more word.

After saying that, the girl stepped aside and made way.

"..."

To be honest, if this girl wasn't so pretty, Xu Mo would definitely not have such a high tolerance.

After walking through the office area, he came directly to the manager's office. He saw Manager Liu still busy at the desk. Xu Mo had no choice but to knock on the door frame and remind the other party.

"Boss Xu, it's you who's here."

As a veteran who has worked in the workplace for many years, Ms. Liu will naturally not be like some fairy babies who have just entered the workplace and can only say "Ahhh, you are a baby~"

After Xu Mo sat on the sofa, Manager Liu brought him the brewed tea. Xu Mo took a sip and then asked:

"What's going on with that rising star project outside?"

"Ah, you mean this project. This is an angel investment project launched to select some better talents for our company. Participants can provide some materials related to their own literature and art to strive for a certain amount of investment. If the foundation is good, they can get a higher contract."

"Well, this is a good idea, but why don't I know about this project?"

The project is a good one, but the subordinates started it directly without his consent, so Xu Mo felt it necessary to torture them.

"Um...this..."

Manager Liu wiped the non-existent sweat from his forehead with his palm.

"In fact, when I was proposing the proposal, I sent you a message to ask you, but you just replied with ok..."

Xu Mo suddenly remembered that Manager Liu did send him something, but he was busy with work at the time, so he agreed without thinking.

"That's it, then it's okay."

"By the way, please bring me a copy of the applicant's information. I want to take a look at it first."

"Okay, wait a moment."

Xu Mo sat on the sofa in the office, sipping tea slowly and looking at the river view outside the window.

"To be honest, it's still not as good as my office."

Xu Mo shook his head and concentrated on tasting the tea.

"Boss Xu, the information is here, please take your time to look through it."

"Thanks a lot."

Xu Mo nodded to show that he understood.

After spending about ten minutes, Xu Mo finally found the one he wanted from the thick documents. That's right, it was the girl who stopped him from entering the company just now.

“Is he from our school too?”

Xu Mo looked at the information on the application form and saw:

"Lu Miao."

"twenty one years old."

"Jinling University."

"Application materials, underground live, best band award."

Xu Mo's eyes lit up. He was worried about the lack of people in the band, and here was a veteran band member. If he could poach him, his Xingyue band would undoubtedly be more stable.

"Has this girl been interviewed yet?"

Xu Mo handed the information to Manager Liu, who took a look and shook his head:

"Not yet. There are two people in front of this girl."

"Okay, notify the interviewer and ask him to get out. From now on, I am the interviewer."

"what?"

After Xu Mo finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving Manager Liu alone, puzzled.

Chapter 163: Teasing the Third-No Senior

Taking advantage of the break in the interview, Xu Mo pushed open the door of the interview room and walked in. Coincidentally, the interviewer's voice came from inside the room:

"Next person."

The three interviewers who were looking at the information heard the footsteps and looked up at Xu Mo. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief, then raised the information with the photo attached and placed it to the right of Xu Mo's face.

"Is this photo of you?"

"Yes, I was still very thin at that time."

"This is not you at all, is it? This applicant is a woman. If you cut in line out of order, we will consider passing you."

The female interviewer sitting on the far left said this with a complaint.

"I said this isn't me, this isn't me at all!"

Xu Mo sat directly beside the table of the three interviewers, looking down at them.

"Sir, please stop yelling."

The male interviewer in the middle tried to keep his tone calm, but the female interviewer on the far left just yelled:

"Why are you yelling so loudly? You have no manners! You are dead. I will hang you in the Big Blue Book."

"Family members, who knows? I met a low-class man during the interview today."

The female interviewer took out her cell phone and started editing the copy.

"It's okay. From now on you are fired. I will be the interviewer."

"?"

The remaining two interviewers, one male and one female, were full of questions, not knowing what Xu Mo was up to.

"Why can you..."

Just when the female interviewer wanted to say something else, Manager Liu arrived late.

"I'm sorry, Boss Xu. This person is a new intern, so I asked an old employee to take care of her. If you are not satisfied, you can immediately process her resignation."

The girl was stunned for a moment, and then was pulled out of the door by Manager Liu. The remaining two interviewers seemed a little panicked, because they did not see Xu Mo clearly because their workstations were far from the entrance. As a result, they did not recognize their boss.

"Clap~"

Soon, the interviewer in the middle stood up and respectfully gave his seat to Xu Mo.

"Okay, you two, go out for a while. I will interview the next girl individually. You can come back after the interview."

Naturally, the two did not dare to say anything and left the interview room immediately.

"By the way, remember to call this girl in for me."

"Good boss!"

The two of them spoke in unison, which made Xu Mo wonder if they could drive the mecha in Pacific Rim.

"dong dong dong~"

There were three rhythmic knocks on the door, and Xu Mo couldn't help but feel a little approving.

"As expected, you are in a band. You even need a little rhythm. Is this how you use absolute pitch?"

After muttering, Xu Mo said loudly:

"Please come in."

With the sound of a door being pushed open, Xu Mo saw again the short-haired girl who stopped him when he just started the company.

The girl turned around and closed the door. She then lowered her head slightly, placed her hands in front of her body a little stiffly, and slowly walked to a distance of about two meters from the interview table.

"Hello, I'm..."

Seeing the familiar face of the interviewer in front of her, the girl's originally expressionless face couldn't help but show a look of surprise.

"Your name is Lu Miao, right? There's no need to introduce yourself, you can see it in the information here. Let's get straight to the point. Your application materials say that your band once won the third place in the provincial underground live competition. Is this true?"

"Yes."

Even during the qualification interview, the girl was still very frugal with her words, showing no emotion at all, and said unusually little.

"Since your grades are so good, you should not be short of funding. Why did you apply for our funding program?"

The girl didn't seem to notice Xu Mo's aggressiveness, and she continued to answer the questions with a normal expression.

"For some...special reasons."

It seemed that they were talking about something sad, and a trace of barely perceptible sadness flashed across the girl's eyes.

"Since it's inconvenient to say, what other advantages do you have? It would be unfair to others to give you funding based on this award alone. Moreover, our funding targets tend to be completely newcomers..."

Xu Mo just took a quick look at the project plan and understood that the project would be held for multiple sessions, aiming to cast a wide net and eventually make someone famous. For newcomers, your investment will be much less, but once successful, the returns will be very high.

"sorry."

The girl suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Mo.

"What did you say?"

Xu Mo couldn't understand what his senior sister was saying.

"If it's because of what just happened."

"sorry."

The girl repeated it again, and Xu Mo finally understood. It turned out that his senior sister thought that he was holding a grudge against her because of what happened just now, and was deliberately making things difficult for her.

"Hahaha~"

Xu Mo smiled with relief. Although he did want to tease her a little, he was not so petty as to deliberately block her application. Seeing how he looked in the eyes of this senior, his image was not very good.

"I didn't mean to embarrass you on purpose."

“Will you support us?”

"?"

Xu Mo was once again confused by the girl's jumping thoughts.

"If it's not difficult, I'll agree to fund it."

“Just because we won’t block you doesn’t mean we will definitely support you.”

"Then you're still careful."
