Flower County was just a county town, which naturally couldn’t compare to the prosperity of some larger cities, but since the economic reform and opening up, every place had been striving for economic development. In recent years, Flower County had also tasted some sweetness, becoming somewhat more prosperous than before.
Although the economy was gradually picking up, there weren’t many investors coming to the county yet, and what the county had in abundance were guesthouses and hotels. As for more upscale hotels, there were hardly any.
Cheng Su was a person of high spirit, and in her previous life, she was a senior manager at a star-rated hotel, so the small guesthouses and hostels were hardly a match for her eyes. Thus, she spent half the day running around the county and asked quite a few people before she found a relatively well-known hotel.
She approached the front desk confidently to ask if they were hiring, and the young girl at the desk, dressed in a skirt, sized her up and disdainfully said, "We’re not hiring!"
Cheng Su furrowed her brow and said, "But I saw that your hotel had a ’hiring’ sign posted."
The front desk girl got flustered by her question and turned red as she said, "We’ve hired enough. Besides, we’re looking for experienced hands. Do you have any experience?"
Cheng Su laughed angrily and said, "How do you know I’m not experienced if I haven’t even had an interview yet?"
"Anyway, you’re not suitable!" the young girl replied arrogantly. "We also require cultural and educational qualifications."
Cheng Su was taken aback. She looked down at herself, dressed in a decent Liang shirt and a gray skirt. Although it wasn’t particularly flashy, her attire was presentable. Was this considered not beautiful enough?
"Are you in charge of hiring?" Cheng Su asked, looking at her.
The young girl became somewhat annoyed: "What are you implying?"
Cheng Su replied with a half-smile, "What I mean is, if you’re in charge of hiring, then I’ll leave. If you’re not, it would be better to call the person responsible. Otherwise, you’re overstepping your authority!"
The young girl caught on to her meaning, and her pointed face instantly stiffened: "No need for the manager. With that attitude of yours, you’re just not suitable for our hotel."
Just by the way he was looking at her, she wouldn’t accept a job here if he was the one in charge. Otherwise, it would be like walking straight into a lion’s den.
"Oh, you’re here for an interview? Come on, let’s talk in my office!" The manager beckoned warmly.
The front desk girl was the first to dissent, stamping her foot and whining, "Manager..." She knew that once the manager saw this woman, he would become lustful, so she was unwilling to serve her.
The manager glanced at her indifferently and then turned his attention to Cheng Su, his enthusiasm unabated.
Cheng Su saw it all clearly and scoffed internally. She said, "No need, I’m no longer interested!"
Without waiting for a reaction from either of them, she turned and left. With such a manager and front desk, filthy to the core, she disdained to work in such a hotel.
