Yuncheng, Ling'an Cafe.
The glass windows revealed the shadows of the trees on the street, and also reflected a dejected silhouette.
"Nian Nian, when will this month's living expenses be paid? Your brother's medicine is almost gone."
The screen on Gu Nian's mobile phone was on, and the WeChat message just sent by her aunt was like a thorn in Gu Nian's heart.
"Aunt, I'm too tight this month. Can you lend me a temporary loan to pay for my brother's medicine... But I have an interview soon. If successful, a sum of money will arrive in my account. I will immediately Return it to you."
But just after typing this string of words, Gu Nian quickly deleted it again.
She naturally understands the situation at her aunt's family. Her children are all still in school, and her uncle is the only one working in the family. They are a poor and lowly couple, and they have two troublemakers, Gu Nian and her younger brother.
If her aunt hadn't thought about the deep sisterly bond and was able to help take care of her sick nephew, Gu Nian wouldn't have known what she would have done.
Everyone's life is so difficult, and if we continue to borrow money, we really can't afford this.
"Bell~"
A clear doorbell rings.
The door of the cafe was pushed open, and the hustle and bustle of the street outside rushed in.
Gu Nian looked towards the door with a little nervousness, always worried that the person he wanted to see had appeared.
However, half an hour had passed, and it was clear that the other party had no intention of coming.
Gu Nian had no choice but to continue waiting in the booth alone...
Otherwise, why don't you wait until the interview results and then reply to your aunt?
If it really fails, then shamelessly ask your aunt to borrow money.
But what if it succeeds? That's a huge sum of two hundred thousand, which can solve the embarrassment at hand in one go.
I can still make money from my brother's medicine expenses.
Gu Nian took a deep breath and let out a long breath. Obviously, this didn't help. Her hands and feet continued to rub her, and her heartbeat kept accelerating.
Can the interviewer be late at will?
Gu Nian opened the phone screen and took a look. Another five minutes had passed.
Could it be that you were deceived?
In fact, instead of calling him an interviewer, he might as well be called her "blind date".
The original time was nine o'clock in the morning, but out of politeness, Gu Nian arrived half an hour earlier than the agreed time.
However, half an hour later, the other party still had no intention of advancing.
***
Midsummer, graduation season.
Gu Nian is a fresh graduate student majoring in financial management at Yunnan University. Three days ago, she submitted several resumes on the recruitment website and applied for financial assistant positions in some companies.
In recent years, the economy has been declining, and in the historical torrent of expansion of universities across the country, graduate degrees do not hold much value. Many graduates are facing the dilemma of "unemployment upon graduation," and Gu Nian is one of them.
But just yesterday.
She unexpectedly received a dialog box message from a recruitment website:
[Ms. Gu Nian: Hello! Our company has received your resume, and our Human Resources Department will contact you by phone later to make an appointment for a specific interview time. 】
The name of the company signed by this news turned out to be the billionaire company in Yuncheng - Baichen Group.
After Gu Nian received the message, she hugged her phone and screamed excitedly.
It is said that the recruitment of Baichen Group is extremely strict, and most people cannot even pass the preliminary review of resumes, but Gu Nian actually got an interview opportunity with Baichen Group after submitting hundreds of resumes.
Five minutes later, Gu Nian's cell phone rang. She glanced at the incoming call alert, which showed that it was the official number of Baichen Group.
"Hello, are you Ms. Gu Nian?"
"Hello, I am."
"I am the HR Director of Baichen Group. We have reviewed your resume, but sorry, our company's financial positions are full."
"However, our company now has an urgent position. Once you pass the interview, you will be given a subsidy of 200,000 yuan immediately. If you are interested, can you discuss it with our company in detail tomorrow?"
Gu Nian was stunned for a second when she heard the conditions issued by the other party. She opened her text message notification.
[Repayment reminder: Ms. Gu Nian, the XX loan you applied for has reached the repayment date, and the current principal and interest balance is 189,500 yuan unpaid. Late repayment will affect your credit report. 】
Before Gu Nian found a formal job, she was already in huge debts and was going crazy due to lack of money.
Still, she was a little suspicious of the voice on the other end of the phone.
Baichen Group is the richest and most powerful conglomerate, but it spent 200,000 yuan to exchange for her, a novice in the workplace, and the HR director personally called to invite her. This sounds fake no matter how you hear it.
Growing up, Gu Nian's greatest skill was to live soberly. She never believed that there would be good things falling from the sky in this world, let alone that it would fall on her head.
Gu Nian held the phone in his hands, his eyes wandering and questioning: "You can't be a fraud, right?"
...(On the other end of the phone, the other party was speechless for a moment)
"Well, Ms. Gu, your anti-fraud awareness is indeed good. If you are worried, you are welcome to come to our company for verification at any time. Our group is located at No. 1, Ning'an Road, and my office is in Room 2102, Baichen Building. My job number is..."
"If you think about it, we can make an appointment at a specific place and time."
The tone on the other end of the phone was firm, and he sounded open and honest, just asking for his ID number.
But even so, it is still not enough to dispel Gu Nian's suspicion. After all, Internet fraud is very rampant now, and no matter how urgent your illness is, you cannot seek medical treatment indiscriminately.
Gu Nian still questioned: "Can you please tell me in detail what positions your company is urgently recruiting for?"
"Our president's blind date."
Gu Nian took a sip of water and almost spit it out.
"Wha... what? Blind date? No, I'm here to apply for a job, not a blind date. Are you mistaken?"
The other end of the phone said calmly: "Ms. Gu Nian, don't get excited. Our company has indeed set up a special recruitment blind date position, and under the instructions of the superiors, we hope to also select the best through the resume audition method. We unexpectedly found a match for you. Recruitment requirements for this position.”
"In addition, according to the credit report attached to your resume, we know that you are currently in arrears. As a fresh graduate, once your credit report is affected, it will not be conducive to your continued job hunting. In this regard, I I think you know better than me, so the conditions issued by our company should be relatively superior to you."
Can't you?
Two hundred thousand can solve his urgent needs at once, and the extra money can be transferred to his aunt for medical treatment for his brother.
Gu Nian sighed deeply after hearing what was said on the other end of the phone.
Although the other party's words were polite, there was a hidden needle inside, and every word pierced her heart.
In addition to repaying loans in her life, she also has a younger brother suffering from type 1 diabetes who is waiting to be fed in her hometown.
Gu Nian's mother died in a car accident a few years ago, and his father was a gambler. He owed a lot of debt and could not protect himself. He was unable to take care of his young brother. Therefore, his living expenses and medical expenses all fell on Gu Nian's shoulders.
Over the years, Gu Nian has been studying hard and working various odd jobs throughout the year. She had no time to take care of her younger brother, so she entrusted her younger brother to her aunt's family in her hometown to raise her. She had to send money to her aunt every month.
But some time ago, her father's creditor came to the school and found Gu Nian, forcing her to pay off her father's debt.
After all, Gu Nian was a girl, and she was quite pretty. When she met these vicious debt collectors, she was inevitably frightened. She had to borrow 200,000 yuan online to repay them, and then dismissed them.
But she was not already wealthy, and this huge loan undoubtedly made her situation worse. Her brother's medical expenses could not be cut off at all.
Gu Nian, who was holding the phone in her hand, was shaken. She muttered in a mysterious way: "Excuse me, where is the interview...oh no, where is the blind date?"
"Tomorrow at nine o'clock in the morning, Zero Shore Cafe."
For the sake of money, Gu Nian gritted his teeth and agreed.
After all, besides this, is there any other choice for her?
