Chapter 122: Isn’t it inappropriate?

“Is it true!?”

Liu Jianhua quickly asked, “Is it our classmate, Xiao Churan?”

Tang Juan replied, “It’s probably her. Let me check her resume.”

As she spoke, she opened Xiao Churan’s resume and became even more excited, exclaiming, “That’s right! It’s her! This resume shows her work experience at the Xiao Group! Who else could it be?”

Li Zixiang immediately perked up and laughed, “Xiao Churan is coming to Zhongxin for an interview? That’s really something.”

Liu Jianhua said unhappily, “Why is she here for an interview?”

Tang Juan explained, “I heard Xiao Churan say yesterday that she and that useless Ye Chen have been kicked out of the Xiao family. She definitely needs to find a job now.”

Liu Jianhua snorted coldly, “Xiang Ge, that useless guy was acting all high and mighty yesterday, causing me and Tang Juan to get beaten up. You have to help us get back at him!”

Li Zixiang disdainfully said, “I’ve never liked that useless Ye Chen. Now his wife wants to come to Zhongxin for an interview? It’s simply a dream!”

As he spoke, he straightened his clothes and said casually, “You all wait here. I’m going to reject Xiao Churan right now and make her leave!”

Hearing this, Tang Juan and Liu Jianhua exchanged gleeful smiles, thinking, let’s see how Xiao Churan and Ye Chen will act now!

Li Zixiang walked out of the office and headed straight to the interview room.

At that moment, there were three interviewers in the meeting room, and Xiao Churan was next in line, waiting in the lobby for her name to be called.

As a senior executive of Zhongxin Group, Li Zixiang’s presence immediately made the three interviewers stand up respectfully and bow, saying in unison, “Hello, Mr. Li!”

Li Zixiang nodded and asked, “Is there a Xiao Churan here for an interview?”

The three interviewers had already been informed by the HR manager to pay special attention to Xiao Churan and let her pass the interview directly. Seeing that Li Zixiang had arrived and was asking about Xiao Churan, they immediately assumed that he was there to give her special treatment.

Thus, the lead interviewer eagerly said, “Mr. Li, the next candidate is indeed Xiao Churan.”

Li Zixiang nodded and directly told the three interviewers, “Alright, you can leave now. I’ll handle the interview here.”

Upon hearing this, the lead interviewer became even more convinced of his assumption and immediately replied, “Okay, Mr. Li. Please let Supervisor Chen know later.”

Li Zixiang didn’t understand why he needed to inform the supervisor and thought it was just part of the HR department’s process. He nodded and said, “Alright, I got it. You all can go out now and call Xiao Churan in.”

“Understood, Mr. Li!”

The three interviewers quickly left the meeting room.

At that moment, Ye Chen was waiting with Xiao Churan and soon a female interviewer approached and said, “Ms. Xiao Churan, you can go in now.”

Xiao Churan stood up and said to Ye Chen, “Honey, I’m going for the interview.”

Ye Chen nodded and smiled, “Good luck, dear!”

Xiao Churan entered the interview office and found that there was only one interviewer, and it was her old classmate, Li Zixiang!

Seeing Xiao Churan come in, Li Zixiang deliberately exclaimed, “Oh! It’s Churan! What are you doing here?”

Xiao Churan was also surprised and said, “Long time no see, Li Zixiang. I’m here for an interview.”

Li Zixiang casually glanced at Xiao Churan and smiled, “It’s been a while. I didn’t expect you to come for an interview at Zhongxin Group. What a coincidence.”

Xiao Churan nodded and replied, “It really is a coincidence. I knew you worked here, but I didn’t expect you to be in charge of the designer interviews.”

Li Zixiang smiled and said, “I’m an executive in the group and will soon join the board of directors. I happened to come down today to inspect the work and decided to personally conduct some interviews. I didn’t expect to run into you.”

As Li Zixiang spoke, he shamelessly sized up Xiao Churan, thinking to himself, “She really is the campus beauty from back then! Full of charm! A rare find! It’s a pity she married that useless Ye Chen!”

Xiao Churan, unaware of Li Zixiang’s ill intentions, politely said, “Mr. Li, shall we start the interview?”

“Sure.” Li Zixiang feigned a friendly smile and asked, “Did you bring your resume?”

“I did!” Xiao Churan nodded and handed her resume to him.

Li Zixiang took Xiao Churan’s resume, pretended to flip through it, and then said, “I’m sorry, Churan, but the interview is over.”

Xiao Churan was taken aback and instinctively asked, “This… is it over? You haven’t asked me any questions yet…”

Li Zixiang nodded and said, “I looked at your resume, and you’re not really suitable for Zhongxin, both in terms of ability and qualifications. So there’s no need to ask you any more questions. We’re all old classmates, and I don’t want to waste your feelings and time.”

As he spoke, Li Zixiang sighed and said, “I’m sorry, Churan, but you didn’t pass the interview. Your qualifications really aren’t enough. I suggest you try looking for a smaller company instead!”

Xiao Churan was stunned and quickly said, “But I’ve been in management at the Xiao Group. I’m only here to interview for a designer position. My education, qualifications, and professional abilities are absolutely suitable for this position!”

Li Zixiang shook his head seriously and said, “No, no, no. Your so-called qualifications and abilities are all because you are from the Xiao family. The cases you worked on at the Xiao Group were entirely due to nepotism in the family business. Without the Xiao family, you are actually nothing!”

“Fine.” Xiao Churan’s expression darkened; it was clear that Li Zixiang was targeting her.

Thinking of this, Xiao Churan felt very angry.

However, she wasn’t the type to make a fuss. Knowing that since Li Zixiang was targeting her, it was impossible for her to work at Zhongxin Group, she didn’t argue further. She simply stood up and said to Li Zixiang, “Please return my resume!”

Li Zixiang threw the resume on the floor and disdainfully said, “Churan, this resume is as worthless as you are. You should go back and practice more!”

Xiao Churan’s eyes turned red with anger, but she didn’t continue to argue. She picked up her resume and turned to leave.

Li Zixiang watched her back and sneered, “As long as I’m at Zhongxin, you’ll never get in!”

At that moment, Ye Chen was waiting in the lounge. After a while, he saw Xiao Churan walk out with a face full of grievance.

He hurried over and asked in confusion, “What’s wrong, dear? Was the interview not going well?”

Xiao Churan’s eyes turned red, and she directly recounted what had happened during the interview.

After hearing this, Ye Chen was filled with rage.

He had clearly told Wang Zhenggang to help give her a heads-up, yet this Li Zixiang dared to make things difficult for his wife and even belittled her. This was absolutely intolerable!

Thinking of this, he didn’t bother confronting Li Zixiang directly and simply sent a message to Wang Zhenggang: “Mr. Wang, you clearly promised to help my wife pass the interview. Why did you deliberately arrange for an interviewer who rejected her without a word? This isn’t right!”
