C3 How Can I Chase away a Woman for My Boss?

If she couldn't pass the interview, she wouldn't be able to get into the company. And if she couldn't get into the company, how could she keep an eye on her brother's secret lover? Rumor had it that the person was quite the flirt. What if he started fooling around and ended up breaking her brother's heart? Her brother had always been so good to her, spoiling her since they were kids and always taking the blame when things went wrong. If she couldn't even handle this, how could she ever repay her brother, who had already been through so much?

With a change of expression, Su Xiaoyu put on a sweet smile and said, "Sir, could you please let go of me? I promise I won't hit you again!"

So fickle, yet so adorably fickle, Shen Juchuan's eyes twinkled with amusement, though it quickly disappeared. "Not just hitting, you actually kicked me earlier!" Shen Juchuan huffed.

What a grump... Su Xiaoyu muttered under her breath but kept her ingratiating smile. "You're the bigger person here, don't hold it against a little lady like me! I promise, absolutely no more hitting or kicking."

Shen Juchuan watched Su Xiaoyu warily, fearing this was just a ploy. But Su Xiaoyu stood there, shamelessly grinning. "I'm Su Xiaoyu, here for my third interview today. HR told me to come directly to this floor. Are you the one interviewing me?"

"Su Xiaoyu..." Shen Juchuan raised an eyebrow, repeating the name silently, then said, "You've already been hired. Go home and get ready; you can start work tomorrow."

"What, what?" Su Xiaoyu was completely baffled, thrown off by Shen Juchuan's unexpected response. First, she messed up the interview questions, then she managed to offend what seemed to be the interviewer, and now... she was hired just like that? Wasn't Shen's Group known for its strict hiring process? Was this guy messing with her?

Seeing Su Xiaoyu's bewildered expression, Shen Juchuan's eyes were practically brimming with laughter.

Before Su Xiaoyu could respond, Shen Juchuan's expression turned serious again. "Today's interview question was indeed 'How to handle women for your boss,' and you did quite well."

Raising an eyebrow, Shen Juchuan added with a hint of admiration, "If you still don't believe me, I can notify HR right now to start your onboarding process."

Su Xiaoyu nodded blankly, then shook her head, unsure of what to believe.

With a mischievous smile, Shen Juchuan thought that having such a charming companion around might make his time at the company quite enjoyable.

"Is this the HR manager?"

"The candidate from the third interview today, Su Xiaoyu, has been accepted."

"Yes, you can send someone up now to take her for the onboarding process."

Su Xiaoyu felt dazed, as if her brain was on overload. Despite being at the top of her class at Yale's Business School, she found her logical thinking challenged at Shen's Group.

Even when the HR manager, who had briefly met her before, arrived at the office and concluded discussions with Shen Juchuan about her details, Su Xiaoyu still hadn't fully processed what was happening.

In the HR department, the manager personally brewed coffee and brought it to Su Xiaoyu. The usually stern old man managed to squeeze a few friendly smiles from his wrinkles. "Had I known you knew the CEO, Miss Su, there would have been no need for all this..."

The fresh coffee was steaming, and when Su Xiaoyu touched the cup, she instinctively pulled back from the heat.

Finally snapping back to reality, Su Xiaoyu interrupted the HR manager, blinking as she asked, "Is Shen's Group always this... well, unconventional with their interviews?"

The HR manager's forehead veins bulged, feeling that the question was almost a provocation.

The company's hiring policies are naturally set by the HR department. If an applicant thinks Shen's Group is capricious, then what does that say about the HR manager's role?

Moreover, this particular candidate clearly has an unusual connection with the CEO.

Trying to keep his composure, the HR manager forced a smile, though his expression was somewhat strained. "Ha, haha... Miss Su, you're quite the joker. If you have any suggestions about our interview process, feel free to share them with me."

Su Xiaoyu looked up and noticed the HR manager's less-than-friendly demeanor, which startled her. She quickly waved her hands and replied, "No, of course not... everything's just fine..."

Even though the question about "how to get rid of women for your boss" was a bit odd, the HR department must have had their reasons for asking it, right?

Besides, she got the job, didn't she? That must mean she handled it well.

Well, at least she hoped so.

"That's great. Miss Su, you can start tomorrow as the new assistant in the CEO's office," the HR manager said, wiping the sweat from his forehead and smiling as he reminded her.

"Ah...?"
