Chapter 41

Anastasia walked into the interview waiting area with her resume, but got a rude shock by what was in

front of her.

The waiting area was packed with people, all holding resumes, all there for interviews.

The competition was fierce.

It took Anastasia some time to find a seat. The girl next to her struck up a conversation.

“You’re here for the jewelry designer interview too?”

Anastasia smiled and nodded, “Yes.”

The girl continued, “My name is Lauren Mill. I just came back from studying in France. I love jewelry

design and have won many awards. What about you?” Upon hearing such credentials, Anastasia felt a

little bashful and subconsciously covered her resume, “I’m Anastasia.”

As for the resume, she felt too embarrassed to elaborate.

Lauren was very outgoing and asked, “I heard they’re only hiring three people. Are you confident?”

Anastasia replied with a smile, “I was quite confident before I saw the crowd. Now, not so much.”

Lauren laughed, “I asked around. There are a lot of talents here today. It’s not going to be easy to

stand out. Oh, do you have a boyfriend? Are you

married?”

Lauren asked such personal questions directly. Anastasia was taken aback, but answered, “I’m

married.”

“That’s good, Lauren seemed relieved, “You are so pretty. If you get hired, that’s one more competitor

for me.”

Anastasia was speechless. What kind of logic was that?

They were here for a designer interview, not a beauty pageant.

Anastasia asked, “Ms. Lauren, just to make sure, this is the interview for Elysian Technologies‘ jewelry

designer, right?”

“Yes,” Lauren corrected. To be precise, it’s for an assistant designer.”

Anastasia breathed a sigh of relief, “Then, there’s no problem.”

She thought she might have come to the wrong place.

Then, Anastasia asked, “Ms. Lauren, with your high qualifications and many awards, why are you

applying for an assistant designer position?”

With Lauren’s credentials, many big companies would want her.

“I’m not after the position, I want to get into Elysian Technologies, Lauren said bluntly. “As long as I get

in the design department, one day, I can make it to the CEO’s office and see the man of my dreams.”

Anastasia said, “My husband told me that even if you get hired, you’d work in a subsidiary company,

not in the Elysian Tower.”

Upon hearing this, Lauren’s face changed, but she quickly recovered, “It doesn’t matter. As long as

we’re in the same company, I’ll have a chance to see

him.”

Elysian Technologies has thousands of employees. For designers in subsidiaries like them, the chance

of seeing the CEO is almost zero.

Anastasia didn’t want to burst Lauren’s bubble anymore. Lauren asked, “Anastasia, how does your

husband know so much? Is he with Elysian Technologies?*

It’s generally discouraged for office employees to date each other. Thinking of Herman’s future,

Anastasia denied it, “No.”

She just met Lauren and didn’t want to reveal too much.

Anastasia also worried that Lauren was testing her. The workplace is like a battlefield. It’s always good

to stay vigilant.

“I need to go to the restroom,” Anastasia excused herself.

“Go ahead,” Lauren said, “I’ll save your seat.”

In the restroom, Anastasia stayed for a while, nervous about the upcoming interview.

As she was about to leave, she heard someone come in, followed by a woman’s voice, “Why should I

be nervous? I’ve already fixed things on the interviewer’s side, I definitely get hired. Who can resist

money these days? Once I get into Elysian Technologies, I’ll find ways to attract the CEO”

Anastasia was shocked in the bathroom. Even in such a large company as Elysian Technologies,

people were getting in through personal connections?

There were only three spots, and one was already taken. Only two left.

Anastasia had to admit, the CEO of Elysian Technologies was such hot stock. These women were here

for the position of the CEO’s wife, not the designer position.
