The cannon fodder female supporting role in the misplaced life

She lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on the screen of the phone she held tightly in her hand. Her slender fingers gently swiped through the address book, finally stopping on a number. Then, without hesitation, she pressed the dial button and put the phone to her ear, quietly waiting for the other party to answer.

The call was quickly connected, and a slightly mature female voice came from the inside: "Hello? Who is this?"

"Hello, Ms. Chen, I'm Xu Yingying, a headhunting consultant from Chengguang. I wonder if it's convenient for you to answer my call now?" Xu Yingying's voice was soft and gentle, with a hint of professional politeness and kindness.

"Oh~ It's Miss Xu. Are you calling because you have a suitable candidate to recommend to me?" Sister Chen's tone rose, revealing a hint of expectation.

"That's right, Sister Chen. So I'll contact you right away to communicate with you!" Xu Yingying replied with a smile.

Then she continued, "The person I'd like to recommend to you this time is Zhu Zheng. I believe you've heard of him. I'll send his detailed information to your email right away. If you confirm that there are no problems, I'd like to ask how long it will take for your company to arrange an interview?"

Sister Chen did not ask further about how the other party knew about this matter. After all, in the headhunting industry, the circulation of various intelligence information has long been a common phenomenon.

As expected, that's what happened!

Xu Yingying gently stroked her chin and asked thoughtfully, "Have you already agreed on a specific interview time?"

"Not yet, but it will probably be scheduled for the day after tomorrow. Because our boss is quite optimistic about Lin Ya." The respondent continued after a brief pause.

Hearing this, Xu Yingying nodded in understanding, and then asked, "If that's the case, should Zhu Zheng just reject it directly?"

"Don't be anxious. Although Lin Ya is really good, there are too many uncertainties on her side. And more importantly, the salary she asked for is as high as 80, which is a bit beyond our company's budget." The person who spoke waved his hand, signaling to stay calm.

Xu Yingying nodded in understanding and said, "Okay, I understand." Then she smiled slightly and said softly, "Then please help arrange an interview for Zhu Zheng."

However, just as the original owner was about to close the deal, something unexpected happened. After careful consideration, San finally decided to choose Lin Ya for the key position. As a result, the original owner missed out on the generous commission.

With only one day left until the final results were revealed, the situation was extremely urgent. However, having reached this point, the original owner could only grit his teeth and try every possible means to seize the opportunity to turn the tide, hoping to turn the tide at this final critical moment...

As she spoke, Xu Yingying's eyes narrowed slightly, as if she were pondering something important. She then continued chatting animatedly with the person she called Sister Chen for a while, seemingly having many topics to discuss. Finally, after some conversation, Xu Yingying gently pressed the red button on her phone screen, ending the call.

After a brief pause to let her thoughts settle, Xu Yingying took a deep breath, then skillfully opened her address book, found Zhu Zheng's number, and dialed without hesitation. Zhu Zheng's familiar voice soon came from the other end of the line: "Hello, who is this?" Xu Yingying's lips curled up slightly as she responded, "It's me, Xu Yingying. I've scheduled an interview for you. It's tomorrow morning at nine o'clock. I've made some special preparations in advance. Would you like to listen to me now?"

Zhu Zheng on the other end of the phone quickly replied, "It's convenient, it's convenient, just tell me!" Xu Yingying nodded and continued, "The situation is like this, San is very optimistic about Lin Jing, but don't worry, because you will go to the interview before her, so we still have a certain advantage."

Xu Yingying parted her red lips and spoke calmly, "I've taken the trouble to find out the general process of this interview for you. First of all, the first round of interviews will be with HR. With your abilities, passing that level shouldn't be a problem. However, she'll mainly be responsible for confirming your chances of being hired, and also getting to know your general work experience at your previous company."

Xu Yingying paused for a moment, then said seriously, "But be careful not to let her trap you! Especially don't mention any dissatisfaction with your previous company, and don't discuss the various problems within the company. Otherwise, you will most likely be eliminated."

At this moment, Zhu Zheng, who had not yet returned from the car, nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, yes, okay, I have an idea about that. So, how many rounds of interviews do we need to go through in total?"

Xu Yingying smiled slightly and continued patiently explaining, "There are three rounds of interviews in total. The second round will be with our Marketing Director, Ho Tung. He has a somewhat peculiar personality—proactive might be a better word. So, if he asks you about your career development plans, don't be overly conservative or give generic, standard answers. You must demonstrate your ambition and innovative thinking!"

Xu Yingying emphasized with a serious expression, "This recruitment is very important. He specifically needs someone with keen insight, a proactive attitude, boundless imagination, and strong innovative ability to lead the company's marketing. You have to pay close attention, especially to the brands that have been frequently trending on the search list recently. Be sure to research them carefully, as he is very likely to bring up these topics during the interview."

After listening to this, Zhu Zheng couldn't help but frown slightly, slowly exhaled a breath, and muttered to himself, "It sounds like this interviewer is not easy to deal with. He seems to be a rather difficult person."

Xu Yingying nodded, agreeing with Zhu Zheng's opinion, and continued, "Yes, this first stage is indeed the most difficult part of the entire interview process. However, compared to the marketing director, the three subsequent interviews with the CEO will be easier."
