Chapter 65 Interview 2
Bai Renxiang was dressed in a nude colour office pants, white shirt and a nude three inch heels. She had her hair ties into a high bun, light lipgloss and face powder. She walked into the company and stopped at the reception desk
"Good morning, I am here for the interview scheduled at 9:00am toady," she said with a polite s d respectful smile. The lady at the reception desk looked up from what she was doing to the person in front of her.
"Good morning. Please what is your name?" The woman replied in the same manner as Bai Renxiang. "My name is Bai Renxiang."
"Go to the third floor though the elevator there. The interview will start in five minutes, goodluck," the lady directed her towards the elevator.
"Thank you very much," Bai Renxiang appreciated the help and walked towards the elevator. She entered the elevator and pressed the three indicating the third floor and up it went.
The third floor was filled with people ranging from different shapes, height, complexion and choice of job. Bai Renxiang sat on an empty seat with a lady and a man. They should be around the age of twenty-two to twenty-five from her estimation.
"Excuse me, has any number or any sort been given out?" She quietly asked the man sitting in between her and the other lady. "Yes. You can asked that woman over there for your number. She has the list," he answered politely.
"Thank you," she greeted and met the woman for her number. She was lucky to fall under the first thirty people to be interviewed. Her number was twenty-three. She went back to the seat she had occupied and sat there patiently.
"What department are you interviewing for?" She heard the man ask.
"The finance department," she answered.
"Oh, that is great. Me and my best friend are also interviewing for that department," he said. "I am sorry. I forgot my manners. The name is Wen Shaoming and she is Bei Susan. It is nice meeting you," he stretched his hands for a shake.
"Bai Renxiang. The pleasure is mine. I hope we do well." Smooth, polite and brief. Bei Susan also shaked her. "Just call me Suzy."
"Applicant number twenty-three go in for your interview," the intercom buzzed after about an an hour forty minutes later. Bai Renxiang took in deep breaths as she stood up to go.
"That would be me. I will see you guys later," she smiled to the duo. "Goodluck," Wen Shaoming wished.
"Go in there and ace that interview. Goodluck," Bei Suzy, the happy-go-lucky girl cheered Bai Renxiang as sh walked away.

Inside the interview room.
"Good morning sirs, good morning ma'ams," she bowed as she stepped into the room. All nervousness completely replaced by confidence. There were a total of five people in the room, of which three were men and the other two were women. She would give her all to get this job and for that, she needed to work hard to meet the expectation of these people and impress them.
"Good morning Miss Bai. Please have a seat," the man seated at the middle spoke up. He seemed to be the head if the interview. They asked her questions as they schemed through her resume. She graduated from City X University with a BSc of Business Management and had a master's degree in Finance. She has a working experience of three years.
They were quiet impressed in her capability but they masked it away in a stern front. After the five if them threw different questions at her, the man that offered her a seat asked her a question.
"Why did you choose Emperor's Enterprise? There are other companies out there with job vacancies but you chose us. Why?" He asked in a stern face enough to make anybody loose their confidence. But Bai Renxiang's composure and confidence still remained the same.
Bai Renxiang knew this question very well and she knew how to go about the answer.
"I believe that I can not only bring value to this organization with the skills and experience I possess but I can also gain more experience and horn my skills amidst the professional work culture of Emperor's Enterprise," she tried to make her answer brief, not too much reasons.
"Okay. So Miss Bai tell us why we should hire you as an employee in the finance department?" The woman seated at last sit by her left spoke.
"You should hire me because I can do this job and bring exceptional results to this organization. I can fit in beautifully And be a great addition to the team. Also, I have the combination of experience and skills," she delivered her reply. For a moment the room was quiet.
"Alright, thank you for your time Miss Bai. We will send you a message if you are hired. Have a good day," the man in the middle spoke.
"Bai Renxiang stood, thanked them and bowed once again before exiting the room. She let out the breath she did not know she had been holding in for the past thirty minutes. She walked towards the chair she sat before to calm her nerves down a little.
"Hey, you are back. Are you okay?" Bei Suzy asked. "Here, have a drink. I got it a few minutes back. I thought you would be needing it," she kindly offered.
Bai Renxiang thanked her and opened the new bottle of water and took few gulps. She really needed that. "Thanks again. Have you guys gone in already?" She asked them. There were three rooms for the interview since the number of job applicants were much.
"Yeah. Shaoming will be out soon. He went in five minutes after you were called. I had been interviewed already and I did well."
"That is great to hear. I did well myself. I hope I get the job," Bai Renxiang said. Just then, Wen Shaoming walked out of the second room with a light smile on his face.
