Chapter 42

Anastasia waited for the lady outside to leave before she came out of the toilet stall.

As she washed her hands, sell–doubt crept in

She wondered, if others could get a shot by bribing, did she still stand a chance?

Just then, Monica called to ask about the interview.

Anastasia told Monica about what had happened, “Monica, do you think I’m overconfident? Everyone

who came for the interview was incredibly brilliant, some even got a chance through bribery, do I still

have a shot?”

Monica didn’t think it was a problem, “Ana, chill, you’re gonna be just fine.”

Who could compete with Anastasia’s background?

After all, she had the backing of the CEO of Elysian Technologies.

Monica was stoked when she learned that Anastasia was going to interview at Elysian Technologies.

Even though she couldn’t figure out what Herman was up to, at least he hadn’t let Anastasia down so

far.

Getting Anastasia into Elysian Technologies was an endorsement in itself.

Anastasia took it as a comfort, “By the way, I guess most of the women here today are here for the

CEO of Elysian Technologies, not the interview” Those women are chasing rainbows, the CEO of

Elysian Technologies is out of their league.” Monica teased, “Maybe the CEO already has someone

special, the world just doesn’t know yet.”

Anastasia didn’t care about the CEO of Elysian Technologies‘ private life. Even if she passed the

interview, it was unlikely she would ever meet the CEO.

Anastasia checked the time, “I gotta go, no matter the outcome, I’m gonna give it a shot. I’ll catch up

with you later.”

After hanging up, Anastasia headed to the waiting area. She hadn’t gotten a good look at the woman

who had bribed the interviewer in the stall.

In front of Anastasia was Lauren Mill. Lauren emerged from her interview in just a few minutes.

Anastasia asked, “That was quick! How’d it go?”

Lauren shrugged, “Not sure.”

“Darn it, if you with your amazing credentials are not sure, then I’m screwed.”

Anastasia immediately became nervous as a voice came from the room. “Next!”

It was Anastasia’s turn.

Lauren said, “Anastasia, good luck.”

Anastasia grabbed her resume and hurried in.

She wasn’t very confident outside the door, but once she stepped in, she had completely adjusted her

attitude and appeared very confident.

Success or not, the key was to have the guts.

Anastasia greeted the four interviewers modestly, “Hi, I’m Anastasia, here’s my resume.”

Anastasia handed over her resume. The interviewers had already interviewed many people and were a

bit worn out, but when they saw Anastasia’s resume, they perked up

The HR’s requirement was at least a high school degree, but all the candidates were top–notch

graduates.

A high school graduate applying for the job, was she asking for trouble?

Anastasia was the only one with just a high school degree among the candidates.

One of the female interviewers asked uncertainly, “Anastasia? 25 years old, with only a high school

degree? Is there a printing mistake?”

That was a polite way of putting it.

Anastasia nodded seriously, “No, there’s no mistake. I only have a high school degree”

The interviewers were a bit puzzled. A high school graduate applying for the job, was she wasting their

time?

One of the male interviewers didn’t even look at Anastasia, he crumpled her resume and threw it in the

trash, scolding. What the hell is HR department doing, even inviting high school graduates to interview!

Next!”

This act was a slap in the face to Anastasia’s self esteem.

Anastasia’s face turned sour, she lifted her head and said firmly but respectfully. “Based on your

company’s hiring requirements, a high school degree is enough for the interview. I understand that a

degree is important, but it’s not everything You haven’t seen my design sketches, how do you know I’m

not capable?”

That was Anastasia’s character. She could back down normally, but if someone doubted her abilities,

she would be driven to prove them wrong.

The male interviewer scoffed, “You, a high school graduate, what do you know about jewelry design? I

bet you can’t even tell the difference between a gem and glass”

Anastasia was furious and was about to retort when the door behind her was suddenly pushed open.

All four interviewers stood up, their faces showing

respect.
