Patrick, who seemed to have known that she was having a bad day, picked up the phone.
"Wait for me in Gordon Hotel.I'll be there in 30 minutes..."
Sure enough, they didn't find a job today.
What's worse, the two of them spent a lot of money on a meal.
Crystal was so embarrassed when she came across her former colleagues at IP&G.
All of them were in short black uniform skirts and came to talk to Crystal as soon as they saw her since she had always been an easy-going person in the company.
They asked where she was working now in a little bit condescending tone.
"We've been transferred to the sales department recently.It's so busy there! We barely have the time to buy takeout here.Crystal, where are you working now?"
Crystal smiled awkwardly.
"Actually, I'm still looking for a job...Capable people are always busy.You must be paid better in the sales department."
"Our company is recruiting but, you know, big groups are usually very picky about applicants.Our company prefers hiring talented graduates and then training them slowly.Besides them, only those who are already successful in the field can be hired.As for those who tried to get a job here by connections, they should give up now..."
"Yes, we have strict rules here.The personnel department held a meeting the day before yesterday to emphasize that all the procedures of recruitment must meet the regulation..."
Ignoring Crystal's small talk with her former colleagues, Christina, who was in a bad mood, was busy eating.
"Well, the attitudes of those who use their connections to get a job are different.I heard that the Secretarial Office hired someone weeks ago, who simply used Lucy as her full name in her resume..."
"Be careful what you say.I heard that she was hired by Mr.Hopkins personally.We can't afford to offend someone like that."
Crystal had been hoping that these women would leave soon, but what they just said jealously caught her attention.
Lucy must have been a false name.
Christina suddenly looked up at them.
"Lucy?"
Only then did these women who were standing beside their table notice how beautiful Christina was.
They couldn't help but hold their breath for a second, surprised by Christina's noble and elegant temperament.
After a closer look, they found her a little familiar.
"Christina, I heard you were having difficulty finding a job."
An excited voice came from behind.
It was Charles.
He had always been an idle, rich young man who didn't show much interest in other people's lives, but he rushed here immediately when he heard that Christina had met with setbacks.
Christina turned around, ignoring him deliberately.
All the employees of IP&G knew that Charles was good friends with Mr.Hopkins.
Those women greeted him as soon as they recognized him, "Nice to see you here, Mr.Shepherd"
Charles replied with a smile.
Seeing that they were buying takeout, he said generously, "You must be working hard and don't have the time for lunch until now.Anything else you want to eat? My treat.I'm friends with the owner here."
These women smiled demurely at Charles while they were actually shouting in excitement deep in their hearts.
"Thank you, Mr.Shepherd."
Christina, on the other hand, rolled her eyes at Charles' gloating smile.
"You came to pay for me? Where's Patrick?"
"This is the first day you look for a job.How can your husband stay calm and relaxed? He sent me here to take care of you..."
Charles smiled.
"Well, how about me get you a job? I think the work of the top management of IP&G is perfect for you."
Those women were all shocked to hear this, but none of them dared to ask about the identity of Christina.
They were already crossing the line by not leaving immediately after Charles had bought them food.
They had just bragged about how strict the rules of IP&G were.
Charles’ words just now were like a slap in their faces.
What was this woman's background? She looked a little familiar.
These women left the hotel timidly.
Just as they intended to return for more gossip, they bumped into their boss at the entrance of the hotel.
They stammered nervously in shock, "Mr.Hopkins."
Patrick came here in a hurry.
He nodded slightly at these employees of him and then strode into the restaurant directly.
