CHAPTER 1643: CHAPTER 1362: HIRING YOU FOR 1 HOUR_2

In the end, Jonas received a large sum of compensation and was released.

It should be said that he was not someone who lacked money; even if he was drawn to the job market, he shouldn’t be in such dire straits.

"Mr. Jonas, I’ve actually heard about you," Bai Xiaosheng said sincerely, "I deeply sympathize with your situation."

Jonas was momentarily taken aback by Bai Xiaosheng’s words, then smiled wryly, "Is that so."

"However, you should have received substantial compensation. With your capabilities, you could easily start a small business from scratch; there’s no need to be like this..." Bai Xiaosheng feigned curiosity but then smiled apologetically, "Of course, if it involves privacy, please forgive my intrusion."

This Jonas did indeed pique Bai Xiaosheng’s interest, but he needed to ascertain whether this man was truly worth his attention.

Was he a stubborn idealist, or a hidden gem waiting to be discovered!

If Jonas had lost the money he originally had upon release due to blind investments or being swindled, that would disappoint Bai Xiaosheng.

Jonas hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly, "It’s my wife; she’s sick."

"I’m sorry!" Bai Xiaosheng immediately said apologetically.

This truly counted as genuine privacy.

"It’s alright; fortunately, through God’s grace, the money I received was enough to cure her. There’s even a surplus, enough for us to pay this year’s property taxes." Old Jonas looked content, with not a trace of sorrow, instead showing a smile.

This kind of positive attitude towards life is rare, even among young people.

"I am also job hunting, young sir," Jonas said with a smile to Bai Xiaosheng, "Although you’ve seen, headhunters aren’t interested in an old guy like me. Actually, my wife and I could live on welfare; honestly, in such high welfare conditions here, the welfare for two is enough for us to live well. Even better than those middle-aged people who have to pay lots of taxes."

Bai Xiaosheng believed this.

Even many young people here don’t work, living on welfare.

"You might wonder why I still want to enter the job market when I have better options?" Jonas looked at Bai Xiaosheng and laughed as he posed the question.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and nodded slightly, acknowledging it.

"I’m already old, aging," Jonas’s answer seemed somewhat irrelevant.

However, Bai Xiaosheng did not interrupt him.

"Precisely because of that, I want to choose a lifestyle for my later years. To be busy living, or busy dying, isn’t that right, young sir," Jonas seriously smiled.

"I just don’t want to be like others, showing a cowardly side to life, appearing decrepit, relying on welfare, eating three meals and sleeping twice a day until death!"

"I want to live more true to myself! And I, I love the business world, that is where I should strive for throughout my life!"

Jonas’s eyes became passionate.

Many young people don’t have such fervent eyes.

"Understood." Bai Xiaosheng gazed into Jonas’s eyes, finally smiled, and nodded.

"Let’s get back to discussing your job application, I want to assist you with any advice I can, considering one hundred euros is not a small sum for me at present, and I need it too." Jonas smiled.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded and smiled, "Here’s the thing; the company I’m applying for is quite large, and the position is technically not managerial, it’s an assistant to the General Manager. But our company has four investors, and the General Manager is appointed by the largest shareholder. However, that shareholder doesn’t handle any affairs, and the other three shareholders are quite influential in the industry, the General Manager has to navigate between them. I am applying as the General Manager Assistant, experienced several rounds of interviews, and competed to the final stages, having to handle many situational tests, even having to answer in the role of the General Manager. I got insider information about some failed candidates’ questions, so I wanted to consult you about them..."

Bai Xiaosheng simulated a scenario applying the current state of the "Encounter" Winery Group.

With Bai Xiaosheng’s intellect and logic, he flawlessly projected potential frictions between the Feng Family, the White Family, and the Hawk Family, possibly creating "troubles," and explained them differently to Jonas.

Jonas listened intently, contemplating seriously, sometimes frowning, sometimes pondering deeply.

However, every problem Bai Xiaosheng posed, even when putting him in the position of the General Manager, Jonas had organized opinions to offer.

The conversation went on for over an hour, and both became genuinely interested.

Finally, Bai Xiaosheng was satisfied.

Jonas checked the time, apologized with a smile to Bai Xiaosheng, "I need to go; today is actually my wife’s birthday. Since I didn’t impress the headhunter, I won’t continue my job search today and will return home to spend time with her. I was pondering what to buy her as a gift, it was your one hundred euros that solved my dilemma."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled, stood up, took out a one hundred euro note from his pocket, gently placed it on the table, and pushed it towards Jonas.

"This is what you deserve. Convey my regards to your wife."

Jonas looked up at Bai Xiaosheng, sincerely smiled and said, "Thank you."

This man, with neatly groomed white hair and a fine beard, was genuinely happy at this moment, as getting the money to buy a gift for his wife pleased him more than a successful job application would have today.

Bai Xiaosheng took a deep look at Jonas, then smiled and waved to Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying as he left.
