chapter 23 to attract attention

In the conference room, the atmosphere was almost frozen. The only person standing was a tall woman in overalls. Hearing the knock on the door, everyone turned to look at William. "What's the matter?" The woman in work clothes frowned slightly. At this time, William had no chance to carefully look at the appearance of the woman in work clothes. He responded with a smile, "I'm sorry to disturb you from the meeting. I'm here to recruit. How long do I have to wait?" The tall woman in overalls frowned, "How is the manpower arranged? Let's do the interview now!" "Yes, yes!" A middle-aged man walked out of the conference room solemnly and gave William a deep look. "Haha, are you in a hurry?" At this moment, the applicant at the top of the queue mocked William. William smiled faintly, "I don't know your situation, but my time is very valuable anyway!" The mocker's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. Just as he was about to say a few more words, his name was called, and he walked into the office that was temporarily used as an interview venue. Tyler came over and gave a thumbs up, "Brother, good job!" William smiled faintly. "Aren't you afraid that he won't deal with you after he joins the job?" Tyler stretched his neck and looked forward. William said, "Who doesn't want to deal with me? The one just now?" "Yes!" "If I were a human resource, I wouldn't choose him." William disagreed. In the workplace, the president certainly had authority. However, it was a rule in the workplace to do the things agreed upon at the agreed time. If the interviewer was late, the recruitment would basically be ruined. If the recruiting party delays, it only means that the person specifically responsible for the work is not competent enough. Faithview Group was such a giant, it was not like they didn't understand this. That guy, ranked first, didn't even dare to knock on the door or even ask a question. What else can you expect from him? Sure enough, the first interviewer, the one who sneered at William, stayed for less than a minute and came out. His expression was extremely unhappy. When he passed by William, he snorted coldly. Obviously, there was basically no chance. William didn't squint. He had seen too many people who wanted to get there just by flattering. This one minute was just a courtesy from the recruiter. This change made the next few people waiting for the interview nervous. At this time, a woman in overalls, who was most likely CEO Zoey, led a group of senior executives into the interview room. Soon, the human resources member stuck his head out and said loudly, "Who is Mr. Watson?" William blinked and raised his hand. "You are here to interview for a vice president-level position. Mrs. Gadsby, want to interview you in person. Please come in first." The rest of the people who came for the interview held their breath and watched William with their eyes. There was some schadenfreude hidden in their eyes. Haha, in front of everyone, he interrupted Mrs. Gadsby's meeting; now Mrs. Gadsby was thinking about him. William didn't care. Of course, there were situations where interviewees made things difficult for the interviewer. However, for a large company like Faithview Group, this idea would never occur when interviewing people at the vice president level of a branch. In particular, the president, who was in charge of the direction of the group, would not act out of emotion on such matters. This was William's little experience that he had worked hard in the workplace for many years and was not worth mentioning. Follow the staff and enter the interview room. There was an oval conference table indoors. There were a dozen people on the next side. The one in the middle was a tall woman in work clothes. Only then did William have the opportunity to look at the other party head-on and calmly. If that woman was really Zoey, then the reason why Jayden cheated may really be Zoey's infertility. The woman in work clothes in front of her had almost no flaws just in terms of appearance and figure. His first impression was with a certain actress named Grace. There were seven or eight similarities. Her whole body exuded a mature smell. Her eyebrows and eyes were clear. Dignified and beautiful. She had the temperament of a CEO. But upon closer inspection, there was still a hint of feminine beauty beneath the cold appearance. William immediately labeled her. Most likely, she was a woman who was strong on the outside but soft on the inside. She should be meticulous in her work. It was not that William intended to spy on the other party. It was just a habit formed over a long period of working. Even in prison, William would still be like this. This habit often helped him gain the friendship of others more easily. Who didn't like people who understand themselves? William smiled and nodded to all the interviewers as a greeting. Pull out the chair and sit calmly. He didn't bow and introduce himself loudly like a newbie. His eyes were always locked on the woman in work clothes in the center. "Mrs. Gadsby, he is William!" A word from human resources confirmed William. Alas, if he were Jayden, even if Zoey couldn't give birth to a child, he wouldn't cheat on her. This kind of woman should be held in the palm of hand and taken care of every day. It was simply God's work. "William." Zoey frowned slightly, "I have seen your resume, and I am very surprised!" "Thanks!" William responded calmly, neither humble nor arrogant. Although he still couldn't figure out the true meaning of Zoey's words. "Don't thank me in a hurry!" Zoey stretched out his hand to interrupt him, "I mean, you are a person who has been in jail. How much money have you paid to let them push your information to our vice president level?" Zoey spoke softly and locked her eyes tightly on William. William felt it was funny. This kind of recruitment trick was not worth mentioning. He wrote the matter of being in prison on his resume, so he didn't be afraid of cross-examination. And Zoey was obviously deceiving him. If he was a little flustered or not confident. Then, the interview was likely to fail. William changed his sitting posture, leaned forward slightly, crossed his fingers, and placed them on the table. Make a serious statement. "I was originally going to be in prison for a year and a half, but I behaved well and was released three months early." William smiled, "Contrary to what you think, not only did I not send money to my boss, but they took the initiative to help me push over." "Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and their flaws cannot be concealed," William said calmly. The corners of Zoey's mouth turned up slightly, seeming to be a little disdainful. "I tentatively admit your statement, but we are recruiting executives at the branch vice president level. As a released prisoner, what qualifications do you have to lead the employees of the branch?" William nodded, "That's a good question. I think that only through our communication can you find the answer." "Being released from prison does not negate my abilities." "Really?" Zoey's mouth became even more sarcastic, "When I was in a meeting with senior executives, you interrupted me at will, which shows that you don't understand the rules!" William frowned slightly. Finally back to this matter? When entering the interview phase, just talk about the matter directly. If she worried about knocking on the door, she would be looking for trouble. Although William really wanted to join Faithview Group. In order to have a chance to find out Jayden's situation. However, this did not mean that he would be condescending to Zoey. In this way, not only would he not be favored by the other party, but he would be looked down upon. "Mrs. Gadsby, you and I have different opinions." William sat up straight and looked directly into Zoey's eyes. "First of all, I arrived fifteen minutes early as agreed. There is no problem with etiquette and attitude." "Secondly, I clearly wrote about my time in prison on my resume. I am very calm and have no ulterior secrets." "Again, I respect your control over the entire company, but I took the initiative to knock on the door and ask. From the perspective of the applicant, there is no problem." "Finally, sometimes we know how to be flexible. If we don't have the courage to knock on the door, we will probably be timid in starting the work." William was not talking nonsense. You know, it was not easy to be neither humble nor arrogant. If you act according to the real rules, you must act with integrity. After these words came out, the air in the whole room suddenly solidified. The senior officials looked at each other. Unexpectedly, someone dared to compare with Zoey face to face. Especially, the other person was just an interviewer. But William was calm. If Zoey met his estimate, there would be no problem with his words, and it would leave a deep impression on Zoey. If he didn't meet the requirements, he would have no chance of entering Faithview Group, and he would have no choice but to find another opportunity to investigate Jayden. Therefore, this step must be taken. William must make himself different.
