Chapter 727: Youth. Morning Meeting

e a brief explanation of the situation, omitting any mention of her argument with Lin Zhifan. Cheng Chen agreed with her, saying that such a man should be avoided. At the time, Cheng Chen's exact word...Lin Zhizhuo watched Shi Yan's car drive away before starting to contact Tinglan, planning to go to the company with her. Tinglan had stayed at the unfinished house with her mother last night and when she hurried over to meet up, there were faint dark circles under her eyes, but her eyes were still bright.

"Where's Auntie" Lin Zhiyao asked.

"I'm going to work." Tinglan replied. Her mother planned to resign after finishing this month and then focus on renovating the house.

Lin Zhixuan held her arm and said, "Shushu, I'm so envious of you. After hardship comes sweetness, everything is for the best."

"Yes." Tinglan nodded, feeling hopeful about the future too.

The two walked hand-in-hand to the company. As the elevator reached the 16th floor, they saw Shi Yan standing in the common area, discussing work with the company's COO from afar.

He looked serious, but his overall demeanor was elegant and refined, a truly pleasing sight. Lin Zhi's heart skipped a beat the moment she saw him.

Before work hours, a few colleagues carrying breakfast entered the company. Upon seeing Shi Yan standing in the common area, they hurriedly hid their breakfasts behind them and quickly walked towards their desks with their heads bowed.

Lin Zhiyao was tempted but also hid behind Tinglan, crouching as she walked towards the Human Resources office, afraid of being seen.

She found herself in a bit of a predicament. She had intended to surprise him, but then she remembered the company policy prohibiting office romances. She figured he'd probably be against dating at work.

After hiding behind Tinglan and leaving the public office area, Lin Zhi'ao finally straightened up and let out a long sigh of relief.

Tinglan asked, "Didn't you go to the airport to pick up Mr. Shi last night You didn't tell him that you're interning at his company"

"It's hard to explain!" I was dazed last night and forgot about it. Besides, wasn't I trying to surprise him Now I have to figure out a way to tell him the truth before he finds out.

After parting ways with Tinglan, she went straight into the HR department's office. She still held onto a sliver of hope that as long as she stayed inside the office and avoided appearing in front of him, the chances of being seen would be low, right

As a result, as soon as she entered the office, the HR manager stood up and said to her.

“Hi, you’re just in time, let's go out for a morning meeting. Our new employees who joined last week will be giving self-introductions today.”

"Morning meeting Self-introduction Is this an internal morning meeting for our HR department"

"No, it's the whole company, every Monday morning for our daily stand-up meeting."

Lin Zhi's legs went weak: "Can I not participate"

What's the difference between this and being paraded through the streets She could already picture Shi Yan's expression when he saw her.

Of course, her refusal was invalid.

This kind of corporate culture was initiated by the Human Resources department. The HR department is supposed to take the lead anyway. Besides, the HR manager seems cheerful and outgoing from her usual demeanor. Stage fright Impossible.

Lin Zhihao dawdled his way to the public office area, while walking he took out his WeChat and messaged Shi Yan, trying to figure out how to explain this situation.

"Hello, Teacher Shi."

"Have you arrived at the interview location" Shi Yan quickly replied.

"Well. What are you going to do in a bit" She wanted to say, couldn't he just stay in his own office and not go out into the common areas.

Will a few of you be attending... including that damn morning meeting

Lin Zhiyao was dawdling, the music for the morning meeting had already started playing in the shared office area. The HR manager beckoned her over to join the other new hires, including Tinglan, who were already standing at the front.

Lin Zhiyao blushed inexplicably and her heart skipped a beat. She stood beside Tinglan, her head bowed so low it could go no further, completely unlike her usual confident demeanor.

Lowering her head, she occasionally glanced at Shi Yan's office with the corner of her eye, feeling both nervous and embarrassed.

It was just a normal Monday morning meeting, nothing out of the ordinary, except for her strange behavior.

After several other new employees, including Tinglan, had introduced themselves, it was Lin Zhixuan's turn. She briefly and quickly said: "Hello everyone, I'm Lin Zhixuan, please take care of me in the future."

That's it, I just want to end this quickly.

But girls who are physically attractive have always been the center of attention, and there are a few male colleagues from other departments commenting below.

"The introduction is too simple, how old are you, are you single, which department"

Lin Zhiyao was actually very good at handling this sort of situation, but today was an exception. Today, she just wanted to hide and run away, not wanting to answer.

Luckily, the HR manager stepped forward, joking to defuse the situation: "What's this, checking someone's background This is our new recruit. Keep your distance."

Throughout the entire morning meeting, Shi Yan never came out of his office. Lin Zhifei only then breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his own position. It’s also true that for this kind of morning meeting, the big boss might not necessarily attend.

A false alarm!

There were several interviews to be scheduled in the morning. Because it was Monday, everyone in Human Resources was very busy. The HR Manager was working on performance reviews, and the Recruitment Manager had several positions to conduct initial interviews for. Therefore, the task of scheduling second-round interviews fell to Lin Zhifei.

She flipped through the resumes she needed to review for a second round of interviews and saw one for a sales director. An idea sparked in her mind.

"Was the Sales Director's second interview conducted by Mr. Shi personally"

"Yes, confirm his schedule with his secretary this morning and confirm the candidates' schedules as well."

Okay, I'll go now.

Shi Yan is in a meeting right now, so she boldly went to his secretary to confirm the time.

The secretary didn't even look up as she took the resume. "I got it, just leave it here," she said.

The secretary held a grudge against the new intern from the human resources department.

The HR department is becoming increasingly unreliable. They arranged for an intern to handle the general manager's interview!

So you should also just leave your resume and not set up an interview time with her.

But Lin Zhifan wasn't so easy to deal with either, although he didn't know where this secretary's temper came from.

Last week, I scheduled an 11 am interview with Mr. Shi. The candidate is also on their way. If Mr. Shi's schedule changes, please let me know.

She is very clever, she deftly shifted the responsibility onto her secretary. Anyway, I've already told you that the arrangement is at 11 o'clock. If the time changes, and you don't notify me in advance, then that's your responsibility.

And with that, she slipped away.

By 11 o'clock, the candidates for sales director had arrived. Lin Zhichen first asked the secretary to confirm the time again before taking the candidates there.

But the secretary was busy and just said:

"Mr. Shi is in the conference room, you can just take people there."

Lin Zhixuan didn't suspect anything, he took the candidate directly to the innermost conference room. In his heart, he was already prepared that when he saw him later, what expression would be the most natural and harmless

Knock knock!

After knocking three times, she pushed the door open: "Mr. Shi, the sales director for the second interview has arrived."

She was both nervous and a little smug, as if she had pulled off a prank. She intended to say that and then usher the candidate in before leaving immediately. Today is good for favoring >>>ose the notebook, she saw a solitary line of elegant handwriting on the last page:Some flowers bloom on tall trees.Tinglan recognized these words, they were a line from the poem "Bride" written by poe...
