Chapter 24
Sharon didn't have time to go home and got changed. She rushed to the Jones Group and went to the front desk, gave her name, and said she was here for an interview. The secretary at the front desk politely showed her the way, but she was looking at Sharon in a rather strange way.
Sharon was so happy that she couldn't be bothered about her gaze. When she arrived at the human resource department and saw the other interviewees in their suits and dresses, she realized why the secretary stared at her that way.
She wore a T-shirt, shorts, and a pair of sneakers. She didn't look like an interviewee, but more like a deliveryman!
Her excitement slowly fell rock bottom. Needless to think, she would definitely be the first one to be eliminated.
She was in a bad mood at once.
The other interviewees also looked at her with disdain.
Sharon could only sigh.
Ten minutes later, she saw Troy who called her earlier. The manager looked at her from head to toe several times. Even when Sharon was embarrassed, Troy had not taken his eyes off her.
"Ahem."
Sharon cleared her throat and explained in a low voice, "Uh, I was in a hurry, so I didn't manage to spruce up my attire."
"It's okay, Miss Cruz. Please have a seat."
Troy waved his hand and muttered in his heart, "What's the relationship between this woman and the president? The president himself ordered me to make an exception and hire her."
In the morning, Troy was summoned to the president's office and was asked if he had received a job application from a junior year student by the name of Sharon Cruz. Troy checked on his computer and indeed, he found her application.
After that, the president did not say anything more than a simple order, "Hire her, but don't let her know that it's me who offers her the job."
Troy looked at the woman in front of him but found nothing remarkable about her. She was not even close in comparison to the other interviewees. He wondered what kind of relationship did she have with the president.
"Miss Cruz, are you from Big Valley University?"
Troy began the interview by asking a few simple questions. After that, Troy said with a smile, "Congratulations, Miss Cruz. You're officially hired and you will start your first day at the Jones Group tomorrow." Sharon couldn't believe it. "1-1 made it?"
Troy smiled and nodded. "Yes."
Sharon blurted, "Uh, did someone ask you to cut me some slacks?"
It was not her fault that she would think so. She wanted to talk to Stanley about it yesterday, but before she could say anything, she was subdued several times... Today, she suddenly received a call from the company. There was no way she could not overthink this.
However, Troy said calmly, "Miss Cruz, please don't doubt our company's ability to see the talent in our applicants. I think you will have a bright prospect in the future, and we are also lacking qualified employees like you, so we accept you."
Sharon exited the Jones Group in a daze. She patted herself on the cheek, and still couldn't believe that she was actually accepted.
"That's a lot of luck, isn't it?"
She actually beat those elites who came to the same interview as she did. It was unbelievable!
Did Stanley meddle in this? No, it was impossible. The interviewer had stated sternly that no one was giving her slack, so she got into the Jones Group on her own merit.
Well, she didn't even need to ask Stanley for a favor to realize her dream.
When she was indulged in her own happy thoughts, she failed to notice that a sneaky man was following her. The man suddenly exerted a force at her that she threw herself forward and almost fell over. Fortunately, someone helped her, and a male voice sounded, "Are you okay?"
Sharon came to her senses and shouted, "Thief!"
After that, she started to chase after the thief.
The thieves nowadays were so bold that they dared to rob a person on the street in broad daylight!
There were a mobile phone and purse in her bag. Inside her purse was her hard-earned money as well as her ID card. If the thief managed to get away with her bag, it would not only be troublesome, but she would also lose a sum of money.
"What the f**k! How dare you rob me! No way!"
"Hey, you b*stard, stop right there!"
She was a woman with limited physical strength after all. After chasing for a while, she couldn't catch up with the thief, and she bent over on the spot, panting and gasping for breath.
"Wait for me here. I'll get your purse back."
Someone said this and strode over to chase the thief.
Sharon stood where she was, stunned for a moment, and then she somehow recognized the voice... It was the man who had helped her earlier, and now he was chasing the thief for her. Did she meet a good Samaritan?
She didn't dare to rest, so she took a few breaths and immediately followed him.
