Madeline took a deep breath and said. “It’s okay, nca, Maurice, don’t worry about me. | will ept reality.”
“That morning for the job interview, it was indeed me who arrivedte.”
“It was all my own fault. If | hadn’t gone to buy youtiao, | wouldn’t have beente.
“Such a result was also a profound lesson for me.
“| won’t make the same mistake again.”
nca sneered, her eyes faintly flickering with a mocking gleam.
Madeline shook her head casually and smiled, “Alright, let''s not talk
about me.”
“nca, to celebrate your sessful entry into our Hallcester’srgestpany, the Huber Group, tonight, | invite you and
Maurice to have dinner.”Content is ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
“This time, no need for going Dutch, I''ll pay!”
nca smiled meaningfully.
“Hehe, Madeline, forget it. You haven’t found a job yet, so where would you get the money to treat us?”
“Besides, | didn’t have time to have a meal with someone like you who has nothing to do.”
“Tomorrow is the official start of work, and today | have to go back
and prepare a lot of things.”
Madeline paused for a moment, awkwardly sticking out her tongue. “Oh, sorry about that. | got carried away and forgot. I''ll make
it up to you when you''re not busy!”
nca paused for a moment and looked at Madeline before saying, “Madeline, you were not hired by the Huber Group. In the
future, if you find a job in a regrpany, the ie won''t be very high.”
even
“We used to rent a house together at Grace Apartments before, and the rent was very expensive. With your current situation, can
you afford to live there?”
Blushing, Madeline said, “I, | will find a job as soon as possible, the rent... the rent won''t put you in a difficult situation.”
nca sneered, “Madeline, what | mean is, even if you found a job, you wouldn’t have the same good sry as the Huber
Group.”
“Isn''t it a bit uneconomical to live in luxury apartments like Grace Apartments again?”
Madeline frowned, “I... I''ll find a job first and see how the sry is before deciding...”
nca shook her head and nced impatiently at the dull Madeline.
“Madeline, what | mean is, | will first put the house you are currently living in up for rent online, so that you don’t have to worry
about not. being able to afford the rent and having to borrow from meter.”
“Uh... | see.” Madeline looked a bit surprised and smiled. apologetically.
“Okay, nca, I’m sorry for inconveniencing you.”
“The rent at Grace Apartments was indeed quite expensive, unless you worked at the Huber Group like you, then it was worth
living there...”
While talking. nca looked up and saw Karsyn walking towards the HR Department, so she hurriedly went up to meet her.
“Hello, Ms. Croft! | have some good news to report. | was hired by thepany. From now on, we will be colleagues. Please
take care of
me.”
Karsyn paused for a moment, nodded and said, “Oh... alright, congrattions to you!”
Noticing Madeline behind nca, “Are you called Madeline?”
nca was immediately confused.
Without waiting for Madeline to speak, she interrupted and said, “Oh, Ms. Croft, Madeline has already been rejected for
employment by ourpany.”
Madeline nodded apologetically, “Hello, Ms. Croft.”
“Um, okay.” Karsyn ignored nca and walked up to Madeline. “Just wait a moment, don’t leave.”
“Huh?” Madeline was confused and casually agreed, “Okay...”
After saying that, he turned around and entered the office of the HR Department director.
nca watched Karsyn’s figure for a while.
Looking at Madeline again, she frowned and said, “Did you two know each other before?”
“| don’t know her! I’m just a recently graduated poor student. Ms.
Croft, on the other hand, is the assistant to the CEO of the Huber Group. How could | possibly know such an important person?”
Madeline shook her head and let out a bitterugh.
“How could she possibly call out your name?” nca stared into Madeline’s eyes, afraid that she might be lying
“nca, don’t you already know what kind of background |e from? | really don’t know Ms. Croft.”
nca thought for a while and muttered to herself, “Well, Madeline is an ugly duckling, how could she have any connection with
Karsyn?”
At this moment, suddenly thought of the words Robin had just told Madeline.
She chuckled and said. “Madeline, | said that Robin was aplete fraud, right?!”
“In front of me, in order to pretend to be very impressive, you dared to say that you would be hired. It’s trulyughable!”
“What''s the situation now? You were still rejected by the Huber Group!”
Madeline sighed, “nca, Robin was probably just trying to encourage me at the time, it wasn’t asplicated as you think...”
The conversation was not finished, and Karsyn walked out of the HR Department Director’s office.
Passing by Madeline, he handed her his business card and smiled, “Alright, | have something to do now. We can sit down and
talk. another time, here’s my business card.”
Madeline held Karsyn’s business card and stared at it for a while.
Why did Ms. Croft treat me like this?
nca walked up to her and snatched Karsyn’s business card, coldly snorting. “Don’t overthink it, she’s just trying tofort you
after being rejected by thepany.”
Madeline nodded and sighed. “I know, nca, | didn’t dare to think too much.”
“Ding ding...” Madeline’s phone rang.
“Hello,m Sherry Pena, the HR Department Director of the Huber Group.”
m officially informing you that you have been hired.”
Madeline eximed. “Ms. Pena, did you make a mistake? Prior to this, | had already received a rejection notice from your
company.”
Sherry on the other end of the phoneughed and said, “That was just an error in thepany’sputer system.”
“Your application materials have been reviewed by our CEO, and he has approved your hiring.”
“Provisionally appointed as the Assistant to the Director of the Business Strategy Department at the Eastern District
Development Corporation of the Huber Group. Pleasee immediately to receive the job offer andplete the onboarding
paperwork.”
After hanging up the phone, Madeline felt as if she had just had a dream, feeling confused and disoriented.
“Was | epted by the Huber Group? As the assistant to the Director of the Business Strategy Department?”
41. de aani Madeline someone must be ying a
Pr
prank! The executive assistant, that’s the sry of a vice president!” nca froze, snatched Madeline’s phone and checked the
iing call number.
The number is indeed the office phone of the HR Department Director, without a doubt
“What''s going on? You were clearly rejected for the job, how could you be hired as the Assistant Director of the Business
Strategy Department in thepany? And you''re starting immediately!”
She immediately pulled Madeline to the secretariat of the HR Department.
The secretary in charge of recruitment is organizing Madeline’s entry materials, including her employee file and ID card. Even
the employee number has been assigned!
nca angrily interrogated the recruitment secretary, “I want to know, Madeline was clearly rejected, why did you hire her again?
And not only that, you gave her such a high position, treating her as an associate director from the start!”
The recruitment secretary nced at nca, gave a faint smile, and said. “| am not sure about this either. The hiring of positions
above the level of deputy director is approved and signed by the president.”
“That is to say, this was the president’s chosen candidate, people like us at this level simply couldn’t possibly know why.”
nca was almost going crazy!
“They say the Huber Group is a fair and transparent work environment, but now | realize that there were also many hidden
agendas!”
The secretary frowned slightly and said, “Ms. Perry, if you have any questions or dissatisfaction, there are two ways to resolve it.
One is to,

choose to resign from the Huber Group, and I can process it for you immediately. The second is to choose to disobey the
company’s assignment and be dismissed by thepany.”
“Excuse me, which one do you choose?”
nca immediately closed her mouth.
“If you have no choice and there is no other necessary matter, please leave my office immediately!” the recruitment secretary
said coldly.
Then, a pile of documents, an ID card, and keys were handed over to Madeline. “Ms. Pearson, please stay. Once you have
completed filling out these documents, you can start working immediately. Here is your ID card and office room number.”
“Sorry, nca, | didn’t think about it either,” Madeline apologized to nca.
The secretary frowned slightly and said, “Actually, Ms. Pearson, it was only natural for you to be hired as the assistant to the
director of the Business Strategy Department.”
“On your resume, it is stated that during your time in school, you published multiple papers on market management strategies in
authoritative core journals, receiving unanimous praise from domestic and international experts.”
“Your talent perfectly suited the current position, and it was personally appointed by the CEO.”
“President?” Madeline and nca said simultaneously.
