Chapter 82 Fiercepetition


    CL Group was one of the few internationalpanies that couldpete with the Walter Group in the


    city. When Joey worked in the Walter Group, she had dealt with CL Group on several asions. It had


    struck her as a goodpany with impressive work atmosphere. She remembered that the chief


    secretary of the president of thepany was a man, which was very rare in business.


    Joey decided to give it a try and sent her resume. She received a response within half an hour. She


    was told to go to an interview at thepany tomorrow.


    She was so thrilled that she threw herself onto thefortable king-sized bed andughed. It was too


    bad that Allen had gone to work. She wished he was here to share her joy.


    The next day, she put on a professional suit and a light makeup to make her look more refreshing and


    vigorous.


    However, she became less confident when she arrived at thepany. There were many interviewees


    waiting in the hall, a hundred at least.


    Men were all suits and ties, and women seemed capable and smart. They all seemed very experienced


    candidates.


    Thepetition was fierce today.


    Joey had waited for two hours nervously before it was her turn.


    She opened the door of the interviewer''s office and found a young woman in her early thirties sitting


    alone behind the desk.


    The young woman wore a ck suit with jaw-length short hair. She wasn''t very beautiful, but her


    temperament was very unique. No doubt, she was a charismatic officedy. She just sat there, a little


    indifferent but overwhelming.


    “How are you? I’m Joey Linderman. I’d like to apply for the position of administrative director in your


    Joey had seen the world, thus she wasn’t intimidated by the interviewer. Joey just handed her resume


    to the woman with a calm smile on her face.


    “Great. Please take a seat.”


    The woman greeted her and took her resume. She raised a question after several nces, “Did you


    work at the Walter group?”


    “Yes.”


    Joey sat straight up and answered honestly.


    “And you were the chief secretary of the president?”


    The woman looked at her from head to toe with sharp eyes


    “Yes.”


    Joey was a littlefortable with her skeptical look. She was fully aware that many people thought a


    president’s secretary was merely a glorified mistress, let alone the chief secretary. Maybe a mistress of


    a higher level, she assumed.


    “Why did you quit your job?”


    The woman started at Joey as if saying, I bet you were dumped by your boss.


    Joey felt offended for no reason. She couldn''t even exin it, because she wasn’t asked the question


    explicitly. So she calmed down and said honestly, “I thought the Walter Group wasn’t the right ce for


    me, so I quit.”


    The woman was still indifferent and unrevealing. She asked again, “You worked as a secretary, then


    why are you interviewing for the administrative director? I believe ourpany is recruiting the general


    manager''s secretary now.”


    She was implying that Joey might have made a mistake.


    Joey immediately answered with a serious look, “Please take a second look at my resume. I majored in


    administrative management in college. I took a job at the Walter Group as a personnel clerk in the


    administration department and worked my way up to the chief secretary of the president. So I think I’m


    fully qualified for the position of administrative director in CL Group.”


    Indeed, after she came to the Walter Group, she had started as a personnel clerk in the administration


    department and was promoted to be the administrative director with her outstanding performance.


    However, one day, John Walter personally appointed her as his chief secretary in the President’s


    Office. She hadn''t no idea how it had happened till this day.

    Everyone thought she was extremely lucky and congratted her. But she didn’t want the job at all.


    She liked her old job in the administration department. A secretary tended to be reprimanded and taken


    advantage of by her boss, thus she wasn’t happy about the promotion.


    The woman detected Joey’s confidence in her voice, and she finally smiled. She stood up and reached


    out her right hand, saying, “Congrattions, the job is yours. You cane to work tomorrow. I’m


    Amanda, the administration manager of CL Group. Everyone calls me Mandy.”
