Tong Le couldn't help but ponder the purpose behind Jin Zi Meng's application to Tongshan Real Estate. It was certainly not a coincidence; it must have been suggested by her family.
As Tong Le carefully reviewed Jin Zi Meng's profile, she found it rather unremarkable, lacking any standout qualities. However, as she had anticipated, the slender and delicate figure was well-suited for dancing, and she had participated in numerous events with her university's dance club.
Lost in thought, Tong Le considered that Jin Zi Meng might either be acting on Ke Wenjie's instructions to infiltrate Tongshan Real Estate or simply seeking a stable job through family connections at a critical time just after graduation.
Initially, Tong Le thought about dismissing Jin Zi Meng's resume entirely, but after further reflection, she decided to keep it. She connected the sudden arrival of Ke Wei Qiang and Jin Feng to this sensitive time, finding it suspicious. She didn't believe that Ke Wei Qiang had come to the city for tourism; after all, the Tong Family was in disarray, and Ke Wenjie was overwhelmed with his own troubles, making it unlikely he would take Ke Wei Qiang on a sightseeing trip.
Naturally, Ke Wei Qiang and Jin Feng were in the city to assist Ke Wenjie.
Having reached this conclusion, Tong Le resolved to allow Jin Zi Meng to interview with Tongshan Real Estate Company. Although this decision carried risks, she felt that it was better to engage proactively rather than remain isolated and uninformed about the outside world. Knowing both herself and her adversaries would lead to victory; mere avoidance would only embolden her opponents and invite further attacks.
She could not afford to be ignorant of her enemies; she needed to understand their movements for adequate preparation. Perhaps this freshly graduated Jin Zi Meng could serve as a breakthrough against the Ke Family.
People are inherently changeable; there are no permanent enemies or friends.
At that moment, Wu Youyou nudged Tong Le's arm and whispered that Zhou Ting was likely going to be eliminated. "You heard her interview just now, right? I feel like it didn't go well."
Tong Le looked up and realized that Zhou Ting's interview had ended. She had been so engrossed in her own thoughts that she had forgotten to observe Zhou Ting's performance.
Wu Youyou stood up to glance at the leaders' comments on Zhou Ting's paper and then quietly remarked that it was hopeless since several had marked her down.
Twenty minutes later, Wu Youyou and Tong Le left the interview room. They hadn't walked far when someone called out Tong Le's name from behind.
It was Zhou Ting.
Zhou Ting hurried over in a sleek black women's suit, her hair neatly tied back into a high ponytail without a single stray strand in sight.
Tong Le exclaimed in surprise, "Zhou Ting! What are you still doing here?"
Zhou Ting politely replied, "Tong Le Jie, I saw you during my interview earlier and thought I’d wait for you to come out so I could say hello."
Tong Le felt a bit guilty. "I was busy with other matters during your interview and didn’t get to see how it went."
Zhou Ting tentatively asked, "So does that mean I got accepted? The leaders inside said they would give feedback in three days."
Wu Youyou interjected clearly, "You should hurry up and apply elsewhere. I took a look at your interview performance; it's not looking good."
Zhou Ting shot Wu Youyou an annoyed glance; she felt unconvinced.
"What did I do wrong?" Zhou Ting asked defensively. "I think I answered those questions quite well."
Just as Tong Le was about to speak up, Wu Youyou jumped in again. "I listened to your entire set of answers. There wasn't anything majorly wrong, but it felt very rigid. You probably don’t have much work experience? It seems like you just studied theory in college. The questions posed by the leaders were too idealistic in your responses."
Zhou Ting was indignant. Back in her university days, she had been both the class representative and the vice president of her college, helping to organize numerous events. How could she possibly be rejected?
Just as she was about to speak up, Tong Le changed the subject. "I remember Dao Wen mentioned you were preparing for a civil service exam. What made you suddenly decide to apply to Zong Shi Yan Tuan? Did something happen?"
Zhou Ting smiled and shook her head. "No, Tong Le Jie. I just wanted to give Zong Shi Yan Tuan a try. It's the best company in the area, and I've heard that working here can really develop one's skills. I'm still preparing for my exams; the two things won't interfere with each other."
Wu Youyou interjected, "If you work at Zong Shi Yan Tuan, you probably won't have time to study."
Zhou Ting retorted, "You’re not me! How would you know my study schedule? Back in university, I managed to obtain several certificates all at once. Learning is easy for me."
Wu Youyou chuckled awkwardly. "Just hitting the books isn’t enough."
Frowning, Zhou Ting wanted to argue back, but Tong Le, worried that the two might start bickering, quickly interjected to redirect the conversation. "Does Dao Wen know you're applying?"
Zhou Ting shook her head. "My sister doesn’t know yet, and neither does Zhou Zishuo."
Zhou Ting then took hold of Tong Le's arm with a hint of pleading in her eyes. "Tong Le Jie, could you please ask those interviewers what their feedback was? Why did they reject me? I really want to work here, even if it’s just a less desirable position. Can you help me?"
Tong Le was puzzled by Zhou Ting's strong desire to work at Zong Shi Yan Tuan. It was clear that Zhou Ting was hoping she could pull some strings.
Tong Le glanced at Wu Youyou, who quickly waved her hands. "I can’t help! I’m currently in a cold war with Zong Jin; I can't even stand to see him! Why don’t you ask Zong Zeyu? If there’s a suitable position, he could arrange something for you; it shouldn’t be too difficult since the Zong family is quite influential."
Wu Youyou’s suggestion sounded simple but gave Zhou Ting a glimmer of hope.
Feeling more reliant on Tong Le now, Zhou Ting pressed on, "Tong Le Jie, can you help me? Even if it’s just for learning at Zong Shi Yan Tuan, any position will do. I want to gain some experience here."
Tong Le was confused about why Zhou Ting insisted on joining the Zong family company. "The pressure here is really intense; I'm not trying to scare you."
Zhou Ting straightened her back confidently. "Pressure leads to progress! I can handle it!"
Tong Le found it hard to refuse; after all, she owed much to Dao Wen and felt she should help his family.
"Alright," Tong Le finally said. "I’ll ask Zong Zeyu later if there are any suitable positions available. But this needs to be kept under wraps; if word gets out later and it becomes gossip, that wouldn't be good."
Zhou Ting nodded eagerly. "Don't worry, Tong Le Jie!"
After Zhou Ting left, Tong Le and Wu Youyou remained where they were.
Wu Youyou casually remarked, "You could just ask Zong Zeyu for an easy position directly; he would definitely help out. But honestly, I find everyone around Dao Wen quite annoying, including Zhou Ting's personality—I don’t like her."
