CHAPTER 614: CHAPTER 614 MANAGER

Qi Taiguo wasn’t home, and Cheng Su was at home by herself. At first, she felt a bit unused to being alone, but in her previous life, she had lived by herself as well. After a day or two, she got comfortable and managed her time effectively, settling into a regular routine.

Rising early in the morning, she would cook herself breakfast, memorize vocabulary, and spend some time reviewing exam prep materials, then she would go to the company. In the afternoon, she’d swing by a restaurant or a fast-food place at the train station before returning home to cook and look over materials.

Cheng Su had been wanting to hire a manager, but she wasn’t quite satisfied with any of the interviewees who came for the job interviews.

That day, as she returned, she heard Ying Xiaoya’s exuberant laughter. This girl, she wondered, what good news had she come across that she was laughing like this first thing in the morning?

Upon entering the office, Ying Xiaoya was speaking to a man. Quick to notice Cheng Su’s arrival, she stood up and announced, "President Cheng is back!"

The man also rose upon hearing this, turned around to face Cheng Su, smiled, and nodded in greeting, "Hello!"

Cheng Su was somewhat surprised and looked at Ying Xiaoya with a questioning look in her eyes.

"He’s here for a job interview," Ying Xiaoya said with a smile.

Realizing the situation, Cheng Su handed her purse to Mai Yanmei and turned to the man. He was about thirty-five, with a sharp outfit and handsome features, his slender eyes sparkling with intelligence.

He had already stepped forward a few paces and stretched out his hand, introducing himself, "President Cheng, hello, my name is Xiao Pinshan. I saw your company’s recruitment advertisement in the newspaper and I’ve come to interview for the manager position."

"Hello, please have a seat," Cheng Su said as they shook hands briefly before she gestured to the sofa.

Xiao Pinshan sat down and took out his academic credentials and resume from his briefcase, handing them to Cheng Su, "This is my resume."

On receiving it, Cheng Su first glanced at his academic qualifications and looked somewhat astonished before turning her gaze to Ying Xiaoya.

"It’s a coincidence, he’s my senior from the same alma mater," Ying Xiaoya said with a sly smile.

No wonder they had been chatting so happily—it was because he was a senior.

Cheng Su then examined the resume meticulously. He was a bona fide university graduate who had worked on assembly lines, served as a supervisor, and also been a sales representative. The last entry on his resume indicated that he was a manager at Golden Eagle Cannery.

After reading it, Cheng Su looked at Xiao Pinshan and said, "Golden Eagle is a renowned brand. Mr. Xiao, why did you leave? And from a manager’s position at that! Our Joy Soon Loy is just starting up, and I’m afraid our benefits and compensation might not compare with Golden Eagle’s."

Xiao Pinshan’s lips curved slightly as he replied, "I’m aware. I spent six years at Golden Eagle. I know the company quite well and was indeed one of its longstanding employees with good benefits. As for my resignation, it was due to personal reasons."

"Oh?" Cheng Su eyed him and continued, "I don’t mean to pry into your privacy, but we are hiring a manager to oversee a large team, so... If you really don’t want to talk about it, that’s fine. But could you share your thoughts on Golden Eagle?"

Xiao Pinshan pursed his lips and said, "It’s not anything I can’t discuss; it’s just that my ex-wife and I divorced, and it became an issue at the company, which negatively affected my image. To prevent causing further issues for the company, I resigned."

Divorced?

Cheng Su was taken aback and looked at his resume again. Under marital status, it stated ’married,’ and he hadn’t indicated that he was divorced.

"Golden Eagle is an established brand. Their mackerel cans have been top in sales among major brands for five consecutive years. The owner of Golden Eagle is adept at recognizing and utilizing talent..."

Cheng Su picked up her tea and sipped, listening intently, the admiration in her eyes hidden behind half-lowered eyelids.
