Chapter Twenty-Two: The Chosen One
Chen Yuhua couldn't shake off the feeling that she would have to spend the rest of her life with this dead girl, a feeling like an unfeeling knife constantly stabbing at her chest. And following closely behind was her resentment towards Yin's father, making it so that the Yin family could no longer have any peaceful days.
So she also had to think of a way to get Tong Mai out of the Yin house as soon as possible, so that out of sight, out of mind...
Mr. Yin's proposal sounds like the best way so far, to find a man for her and marry her off, so she won't bother them again! As for Mr. Yin's "good man", Chen Yuhua's eyes showed a hint of disdain.
Good man, is she worthy of him? Seeing Tong Mai's happiness, she would feel doubly resentful. Only if she were miserable and impoverished could she slightly alleviate the hatred in her heart.
Chen Yuhua began to actively introduce men to Tong Mai, while Tong Mai was busy looking for a job and kept failing...
It's strange, isn't she good enough? Not a single decent company has accepted her!
But true gold is not afraid of fire refining, however... there is still a company willing to hire her!
"Miss Tong, you can come to work tomorrow." The HR manager was quite satisfied with Tong Mai's performance, so she finalized the decision on the spot.
It is said that Tong Mai's heart was suddenly blooming, this was the best words she had heard in a long time, and she was full of gratitude, "Thank you... thank you manager, I will definitely..." Work hard, the four words were not yet spoken, when the phone rang loudly from the human resources manager.
"Excuse me, Miss Tong, I have a call." The HR manager stared at the caller ID on his phone, which was the general manager's number. "Hello, General Manager..." He said in a low voice with puzzlement and unease.
The arrival of this phone call made Tong Mai look at the change in the face of the human resources manager, and she also became nervous, was there still a variable in the job that had been settled?
The child swallowed hard, at this moment, it was extremely tense, and the heart was eagerly awaiting the end of the human resources manager's phone call. This waiting feeling is no different from waiting for a death sentence...
Finally, he finished listening to the phone call and indeed, just as Tong Mai had guessed, something had changed!
"Miss Tong, I'm sorry. Just now was a call from our general manager about the secretary position... He said it's already been decided who will get the job, so... Sorry, Miss Tong, you don't have to come to work tomorrow." The HR manager's face also showed apology, and his words were particularly hesitant.
For this result, Tong Mai is both a bolt from the blue and expected. If it were her state of mind in the previous days, she would definitely argue hard. Since the candidate has already been decided, why not withdraw the recruitment information?
However, after these few days of turmoil, she seems to have gotten used to this kind of blow...
It's been a long time, and I've also gotten used to being rejected.
Once again, she fell from being full of hope to hitting rock bottom...
As she walked out of the interview, the warm sunshine was shining brightly on the earth, but it couldn't penetrate into Tong Mai's cool heart. The consecutive failures in her interviews undoubtedly gave her a heavy blow.
It seems... she doesn't match with the eight characters here, but no matter how mismatched it is, in short, she has to stay here and never wants to go back to London again.
Although, for her, both places were desolate and lonely, a solitary life, however, the most important thing here is that her mother was here, even though she's no longer in this world, but they were on the same land...
