C16 The Final Interview Director Mo Came Personally

When Gao Yi opened the door, he saw three people sitting on the couch: one adult and two children. The usually commanding Second Young Master seemed to have shed all his armor, sitting gently between the two kids, creating a particularly heartwarming scene. As an observer, Gao Yi couldn't help but notice how much the children's features resembled the Second Young Master's, especially the little boy, who looked like a miniature version of him.

"Second Young Master," Gao Yi greeted.

Mo Kai looked up.

"The interview on the 16th floor went well. She passed the initial round and will proceed to the final interview with Young Director Wang."

"Oh?" Mo Kai didn't take his eyes off the children. "Have her come up and wait in the conference room."

"Are you going to conduct the final interview yourself?"

"I'm giving her the opportunity. Whether she can seize it depends on her abilities."

"Understood, I'll notify her right away."

Mo Kai stood up. "I need to step out for a bit. Will you two be okay here?"

"Uncle, we need to head back too. Mom will be worried if she can't find us," Zhan said, shouldering his little backpack.

Xinyi stood up as well. "Goodbye, Uncle. We'll visit you again soon."

"Wait a moment, Zhan," Mo Kai called out to the boy holding Xinyi's hand.

Mo Kai retrieved a small item from his desk drawer. "This is for you."

Zhan's eyes lit up at the sight of a four-layer Rubik's Cube, but he replied, "Thank you, Uncle, but I can't accept it. Mom says we shouldn't take things we haven't earned."

Mo Kai's lips curled slightly, showing he was a well-mannered young man.

"Let's make a trade. I'll swap my four-layer Rubik's Cube for your three-layer one. Every time you solve one, you can come back and trade for another. If you manage to solve up to ten layers, you can ask me for any wish. Do you dare?"

Men, whether young or old, often find it hard to resist a challenge.

Zhan pulled a three-layer Rubik's Cube from his bag and handed it to Mo Kai, accepting the four-layer one from his large hand.

"I dare!"

"Then it's a deal. See you next time," Mo Kai said, not realizing the warmth in his eyes.

In the conference room on the 66th floor, Qiao Ann glanced around.

The interview today went smoother than expected, with mostly routine questions. She felt she answered without any major slip-ups, but the final interview seemed much more intense... not just a little bit.

The conference room itself was far more upscale than the previous one.

Qiao Ann, who had felt quite at ease before, suddenly began to feel nervous.

The automatic doors made a soft sound as they opened, and Qiao Ann instinctively turned her head, meeting a pair of deep, ocean-like eyes.

Mo Kai entered, tall and impeccably dressed, exuding an aura of authority like a king who held the power of life and death.

Qiao Ann's heart skipped a beat. Wasn't this the man she had dreamed about not long ago? Her face flushed red.

Mo Kai walked over to the desk opposite Qiao Ann and sat down, giving her a calm look. Qiao Ann's heart was pounding.

"Miss Qiao, shall we get straight to the point?" Mo Kai opened Qiao Ann's resume, adopting a businesslike demeanor.

Under the table, Qiao Ann pinched her thigh hard to remind herself, "Stay sharp, Qiao Ann! You can't falter here!"

"Miss Qiao, you have a degree from a self-study program?"

"Yes," Qiao Ann replied, maintaining her composure.

Mo Kai's voice was deep and smooth, "Our company doesn't usually consider candidates from schools outside the top tier."

"In the business world, Bill Gates, in politics, the 16th President of the United States, Lincoln, and in science, Edison—none of them had impressive degrees, yet they achieved great success. There are plenty of people who excel without a high-level education," Qiao Ann paused, then asked, "Is Mosheng Group only about academic credentials?"

Mo Kai's expression remained unchanged, a slight smile at the corner of his mouth, as he replied unhurriedly, "Miss Qiao, you're quite articulate, but I'm not interested in hearing about famous people. Let's talk about your competitive edge."

Qiao Ann pondered for a moment, then took out a revised proposal from her bag and handed it to Mo Kai.

"Director Mo, this is the updated version of my previous proposal. I've made sixteen detailed improvements. I may not have an elite school on my resume, but my work ethic is all about diligence and perseverance. This proposal might be outdated now, but it demonstrates my attitude. I hope you'll give me a chance."

Unlike her usual playful and cunning demeanor, this time she was exceptionally serious, her voice soft and obedient.

Mo Kai's long, distinct fingers flipped through the proposal. Every revision was marked with colored pens and accompanied by explanations.

If the previous proposal had satisfied him, this one was truly a textbook example of perfection.

Yet, Mo Kai's face remained impassive as he leisurely reviewed the pages.

Qiao Ann watched his poker-faced expression, feeling uncertain inside.

Finally, he closed the proposal.
