Chapter 383 - Life is a Roller Coaster (2/2)

Shen Qingyan returned her seat. There were no emotions on her face, and Xiao Luo couldn’t tell how she felt.

Xiao Luo was worried about Guan Tong, for, if something similar to this were to happen at Luo Workshop, he would surely not take it easy on that person.

“Guan Tong, come in!”

The tall woman shouted for Guan Tong through the open door, making no effort to conceal her displeasure toward him for daring to play such tricks with the Huayao Corporation.

Guan Tong had been waiting anxiously outside the office. Hearing his name being called, he meekly stepped through the door with a sheepish smile.

“Good day, Miss Shen. My name is Guan Tong, ‘Guan’ as in ‘person in charge,’ and ‘Wu’ as in ‘Phoenix Tree,’ oh, wait… it’s ‘Tong’ as in ‘Phoenix Tree,’ hehe…”

Guan Tong introduced himself pompously, as he had practiced many times before the interview, but this time, his nervousness was betrayed by a Freudian slip, and he ended his introduction with an awkward smile.

“My day isn’t good at all!”

Shen Qingyan responded with a sardonic smile and said, “You drove off all the other candidates by playing your petty tricks right here in my company’s premises. I’m in a terrible mood right now!”

Gulp…!

Guan Tong froze. When he glanced at the tall lady, he found her glaring at him, too, in the most hostile way. Guan Tong began to feel an immense pressure building up inside and started breaking out in cold sweat. “Miss Shen, I-I, err…” he stuttered.

Shen Qingyan waved her hand impatiently and asked him, “Tell me, how did you drive them away? The more detailed, the better!” Then turning to her assistant, she said, “Miss He, get me a glass of water.”

“Yes, Miss Shen.”

The tall woman responded and immediately walked to the water dispenser at the corner of the office.

Guan Tong wiped off the sweat running down his forehead and did not dare not utter a word until the tall lady had returned with the glass of water. By, then he had organized his thoughts, and only after Shen Qingyan had taken the glass of water from her assistant and began sipping on it did Guan Tong recount everything that happened in the lounge.

When Shen Qingyan heard about how Guan Tong had impersonated the interviewer and how he rejected the candidates with the most ridiculous reasons she had ever heard, she couldn’t contain her laughter. Then, she stood up, looked at Guan Tong with a sparkle in her eyes, and said, “What a true talent you are! You’ve eliminated all your competitors with this little trick of yours… very suited for our sales consultant position.”

Upon hearing that, Guan Tong was elated and cried, “Huh, Miss Shen, do you mean that I’ve passed the interview and can now work for Huayao?”

Shen Qingyan smiled and shook her head. “No,” she replied, then turning to the tall lady, she said, “Miss He, notify the Legal Department at once. Sue him for interrupting the company’s business activities and damaging our reputation for 5 million dollars.”

Huh?!

Guan Tong’s eyes nearly popped out, and in that very instant, he finally understood the quote, ‘life is a roller coaster.’ Feeling like he was about to lose control of his bladder, he pleaded with Shen Qingyan, stammering, “M-miss Shen, w-why… you’re mistaken. I’m…”

BAM!

Shen Qingyan slammed her desk as she looked sternly at him and said, “A jobseeker like you resorting to such shameless trickery, pretending to be an interviewer and driving off the other candidates, your actions are despicable and indefensible. This cannot be forgiven; you have treated my company with disrespect!”

The tall lady was delighted to hear that as she couldn’t stand the sight of Guan Tong, whom she found revolting and felt he had to be punished.

“Miss Shen, don’t do this, please! It… it’s only because I want to join Huayao so badly, please…”

Guan Tong knew he had gone overboard, and he now found himself in a quagmire of his own making. He never thought that he’d get slapped with a lawsuit, and even worse, sued by a company as large as the Huayao Corporation. He felt that the sky falling, and to him, it was the end of days.
