Chapter 1026 Qin Feng: I'm being targeted again
Qin Hao felt helpless about Li Xiaoyue's spoiling behavior and had to send a message to Shen Lin.
"The interview will be at ten tomorrow morning. Don't be late."
On the other side, Na Wei was sleeping in a daze. He was suddenly awakened by Shen Lin and opened his eyes in confusion.
"What's wrong, honey? Is Zixuan crying?"
Shen Lin excitedly held the phone in front of Na Wei, causing his eyes, which had just opened, to narrow again, and he quickly used his hand to block it.
"Mr. Qin has replied to my message and asked me to go for an interview tomorrow."
When Na Wei heard this, he wiped his eyes and took a closer look, and it was true. He immediately regretted sending Qin Hao's WeChat to Shen Lin.
"You scared me. I thought it was something wrong. It's late. Go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow."
After saying that, he lay down directly, leaving his back to Shen Lin. He felt that Shen Lin's chances of being successful in the application were very low. After all, she was about to turn 40, her educational background was average, and she had been a housewife at home for so many years. How could she compete with those energetic college graduates?
Shen Lin was a little unhappy with her husband's spoiling behavior. She hit him on the back, put down her phone to charge it, covered herself with a quilt and went to sleep. She wanted to face tomorrow's interview with full energy, which was also her first step back into the workplace.
When Shen Lin woke up again, it was already 7:30 in the morning. After turning off the alarm clock, she pushed her husband and said, "Hubby, hurry up. We'll be late for sending Yueyue to school."
"It's still early. I'll sleep for another ten minutes." Na Wei picked up his phone in a daze and looked at the time.
Shen Lin shook her head and went to her daughter Yueyue's room to wake her up.
"Mom, I still have time to sleep for another ten minutes."
Shen Lin couldn't help but complain: "This father and daughter are really exactly the same."
After Shen Lin prepared breakfast, the father and daughter quickly washed up.
When the family was about to finish their meal, the nanny came. Shen Lin quickly handed Zixuan to the nanny: "Auntie, Zixuan is a problem for you. Call me if you have anything."
"It's okay, go ahead and do your work, I'll take good care of him."
Na Wei paused and said, "Wife, you are determined to go out to work."
"Of course. Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. Even if I don't get the job at your company today, I will still look for another job. I absolutely cannot continue to spend more than I earn."
Seeing Shen Lin's firm attitude, Na Wei had no choice but to agree.
The family went out.
First, he sent Yueyue to school, and then Na Wei drove Shen Lin to the company.
On the way, Shen Lin was inexplicably nervous: "Husband, tell me what tasks your company's human resources specialists are generally responsible for."
Na Wei answered casually: "A human resources specialist is responsible for corporate recruitment, training, performance management, etc. It's actually similar to your previous job."
"So what questions does your CEO Qin usually ask more during recruitment?"
Na Wei thought about it and shook his head, "It's hard to say."
Shen Lin glared at him and said unhappily, "Don't you really want me to go to your company?"
"It's unfair, honey. It's not that I don't want to tell you, but Mr. Qin's ideas are different from those of ordinary people, and the questions he asks are quite casual. Last time, our marketing department wanted to recruit a graphic designer, and all the resumes were very good. But Mr. Qin asked a question: What are the dimensions of the tables and chairs in the conference room? There were so many 985 graduates, but no one could answer it, and they were all eliminated."
After hearing what Na Wei said, Shen Lin felt even more unsure: "Isn't his question too far-fetched?"
"I felt the same way at first, but after listening to what Xiao Liu from our department said, I thought it made sense."
"How did he say?"
"Graphic design is a profession that requires strong observation skills. If a graphic designer cannot even notice the size of tables and chairs, it means that he does not have the habit of careful observation, and the things he designs are bound to be floating."
Shen Lin thought thoughtfully: "So, Mr. Qin should be a more pragmatic person."
"That's right. Look, our company used to conduct strict attendance checks from time to time, and performance was linked to overtime hours. Since Mr. Qin became the general manager, this rule has been completely abolished."
Na Wei turned the steering wheel and said, "Take Jiang Shan's sales department for example. Mr. Qin is only responsible for setting the monthly performance targets, and the rest is left to Jiang Shan. However, if the targets are not met, everyone in the sales department will have their performance bonuses deducted."
"Ah, in that case, if someone slacks off and deliberately fails to complete the task, will other salesmen help him to achieve the desired performance in order to get performance bonuses? Wouldn't that mean everyone is eating from the same pot? Will the salesmen still work hard to do business?" Shen Lin asked doubtfully.
Na Wei smiled and said, "You're overthinking it. The sales department is full of veterans. How can they let others take advantage of them? Moreover, the performance targets set by Mr. Qin are subject to change according to the actual situation of each month. For example, this month is the off-season, so the performance may be lower, but it is definitely achieved through hard work. When it comes to the peak season, we have to work at full capacity."
"It's just that Mr. Qin doesn't enforce attendance very strictly. As long as you are able to meet the performance targets, it doesn't matter if you don't come to the company to punch in for a month. However, if you fail to meet the performance targets for three consecutive months, you will be fired."
Shen Lin nodded thoughtfully: "This seems to be quite good. Not only can we complete the sales performance, but the salesperson will not feel too depressed and have more free time."
"Yes, so you see, our marketing department rarely works overtime now. Performance is no longer linked to overtime hours, so naturally everyone will not slack off like before. They will leave work early after finishing their get off work, which is a waste of their own time."
As we were talking, we had already arrived at the company's underground parking lot.
Shen Lin originally wanted to ask some more questions, but Na Wei was going to be late for work, so she had no choice but to follow him into the elevator.
"That's always early."
"Morning, Boss."
Na Wei greeted his colleagues in the elevator one by one.
When he arrived at the front desk, Na Wei said to the receptionist, "This is Shen Lin who came for the interview today. Please make some arrangements for her."
The receptionist looked through the interview list and found Shen Lin's name was not on it. She felt a little embarrassed, but still said to Shen Lin.
"I'm sorry, Miss Shen, your name is not on the interview list here. I'll check if the information has not been updated. Please wait."
Shen Lin nodded awkwardly and smiled, "Thank you for your help."
Na Wei wanted to say something, but Shen Lin urged him, "It's almost time, you should clock in for work, I can do this myself."
"Okay then, remember to call me if you have anything."
"Well, go ahead, go ahead."
Shen Lin stood beside the front desk somewhat awkwardly. The receptionist noticed that she had a special relationship with Na Wei, so she politely moved a chair for her.
Starting from 9:15, people came to apply for the job one after another. After the receptionist checked their identity information, she arranged Shen Lin to go to the reception room with them.
By half past nine, the reception room was already packed with people, but the most dazzling person was Shen Lin. It was not because of her charming looks, but because she seemed a little out of place among this group of young applicants in their twenties.
"Sister, which department are you applying for?"
A little girl next to her asked Shen Lin curiously.
Shen Lin pretended to be calm and said, "Administrative Department."
Na Wei told her in the morning that there was no dedicated personnel department, but the administrative department was in charge of both administrative and personnel matters.
The girl immediately became alert: "Sister, are you applying for the position of HR director?"
Shen Lin was a little embarrassed for a moment, so she asked back: "What about you?"
The girl thought Shen Lin had agreed, and her attitude suddenly became particularly enthusiastic: "Sister, I'm here to apply for the position of HR specialist. Maybe we will be colleagues in the future. Please take care of me."
Shen Lin was now even more embarrassed, but luckily the receptionist came in at this time.
"Everyone, get ready. The interview will start soon. Follow me when your name is called."
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the reception room became tense.
The receptionist walked up to Shen Lin and said, "Ms. Shen, we have verified your application information. Please prepare yourself."
"Okay, thank you." Shen Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
About five minutes later, the interview process began and applicants were taken to the meeting room one after another.
Shen Lin also became inexplicably nervous. The casual chat she had just had with several other applicants made her feel more stressed. These applicants, who were a dozen years younger than her, not only had solid academic qualifications, but many of them also had experience working in large companies.
This also made Shen Lin intuitively feel how cruel the current workplace competition is.
"Liu Wan, Zhang Jing, Shen Lin, it's your turn."
When Shen Lin heard her name, her heart tightened and she could only cheer herself up. She built up her spirits for a while before following the two people in front of her into the meeting room.
In the conference room, Qin Feng was stunned when he saw Shen Lin, and then he tried to flip through the pile of resumes in front of him, but naturally found nothing.
"This boss is too outrageous. He stuffed his wife in without even saying hello. What does he think of our company?"
Qin Feng said indignantly.
"Ahem, you greeted me last night."
This made Qin Feng very unhappy. He was originally dissatisfied with Qin Hao being the general manager, but with Qin Lingling backing Qin Hao up, he had no choice. Recruitment should have been within his scope of responsibility, but Qin Hao intervened, making him, the deputy general manager of administration, look like a decoration.
Qin Hao naturally noticed Qin Feng's dissatisfaction, but he ignored it. He originally had no intention of interfering in the recruitment matter, after all, he was also very busy.
The key point is that Qin Feng doesn't care about the actual needs of each department when recruiting. He only recruits those with good resumes and high academic qualifications. As a result, a lot of unqualified people are recruited. The managers of various departments dare not offend him, so Qin Hao has to do it himself.
Seeing Qin Hao's gaze resting on her, Shen Lin quickly sat up straight.
"Liu Wan, Zhang Jing, Shen Lin, you are all applying for the position of human resources specialists. Tell us what your respective advantages are." Qin Feng cleared his throat and spoke first.
Liu Wan, who was sitting next to Shen Lin, glared at Shen Lin unhappily. She originally thought that the other party might be her immediate superior, but unexpectedly he turned out to be a competitor.
"I can accept 996 overtime work, and I can also reply to work messages at any time 24 hours a day outside of work hours." Zhang Jing, who was sitting on the far left, spoke first.
Seeing this, Liu Wan quickly agreed: "I can, too."
Shen Lin blinked and thought: I’m just a human resources specialist, do I have to work so hard?
Qin Feng was very satisfied with Liu Wan and Zhang Jing's answers. Seeing that Shen Lin didn't say anything, he said unhappily, "Shen Lin, right? You can't accept overtime?"
Shen Lin was speechless for a moment. She definitely didn't want to work overtime frequently. After all, she had two children, one big and one small, at home who needed her to take care of. But if she was told that she couldn't work overtime, wouldn't the interview opportunity that she had worked so hard to get be ruined?
Just when Shen Lin was in a dilemma, Qin Hao coughed lightly.
"Whether you can work overtime is not a measure of your work ability. If you are capable, you don't need to drag an eight-hour work schedule into overtime. If you are not capable, you will be eliminated by the company no matter how much overtime you work."
Shen Lin breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, while Liu Wan and Zhang Jing could only agree with an awkward smile.
Qin Feng looked very unhappy. His younger brother had been causing trouble for him since he returned to China, contradicting him everywhere and not giving him any face at all.
Qin Hao was too lazy to care about Qin Feng and asked casually.
"You all have work experience. Write down what you think is the most important responsibility of a human resources specialist. I'll give you ten minutes."
Upon hearing this, Liu Wan and Zhang Jing quickly took out paper and pen and began to write. However, Shen Lin was dumbfounded because she didn't prepare any paper or pen at all.
"Give."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin."
Qin Hao nodded slightly as a greeting, then sat back in his seat.
Qin Feng on the side said unhappily: "Humph, you didn't even bring paper and pen to apply for the job, and you are so careless in your work, you should be eliminated directly."
Shen Lin paused for a moment, but pretended not to hear and continued writing. She had finally gotten this opportunity, and whether she could get the job or not, she was going to give it a try.
In about eight minutes, Liu Wan and Zhang Jing had both finished writing on a full A4 paper.
Qin Feng took it first.
Qin Hao was too lazy to argue with him.
Another two minutes passed before Shen Lin finally stopped writing, but he only wrote a few lines and didn't even finish half a page.
Qin Feng sneered and just glanced at her a few times before stopping. He had already eliminated Shen Lin in his heart.
However, after reading the answers to the written test, Qin Hao slowly said, "Shen Lin, stay for a while, you guys go back and wait for news."
Liu Wan and Zhang Jing left the meeting room with frustrated looks on their faces.
Qin Feng refused to give in: "Haozi, what do you mean? They are both better than her in terms of education and ability, right?"
Shen Lin was so embarrassed that she could only pretend not to hear it.
"Education is better, but ability is better? How do you know that? Just because they filled a piece of paper with writing?"
Qin Feng said righteously: "Is there anything wrong with what they wrote? I think it's very good."
"It seems like there is no problem, but in fact, you haven't grasped the key point at all. The thing can be made clear in a few sentences, but you insist on rambling like writing an essay." Qin Hao said, pointing at Shen Lin's answer sheet.
"Shen Lin's statement is concise and to the point, without the bad habits of those big companies, and her understanding of the responsibilities of human resources specialists also meets the company's employment needs."
Qin Feng slammed the door and left angrily. He didn't think Qin Hao was doing this for the good of the company, but felt that he was being targeted again.
