Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 981 - 980: Interview

The sisters, Tangtang and Guoguo, had a hint of a smile on their faces, but it was a particularly bitter one.

Xu Ke ignored this smile, knowing that what the sisters needed at that moment wasn’t his comfort, but time. They needed time to accept this reality.

Offering them comfort at this moment wouldn’t do them any good; it could backfire.

"Well, it’s getting late. We should get some rest first. We have to go job hunting tomorrow," Tangtang chuckled dryly and said.

Xu Ke didn’t expose Tangtang’s desire to escape. Instead, he naturally bid them goodnight and returned to his room.

After watching Xu Ke’s door close, the sisters simultaneously let out a deep sigh, as a wave of dejection tightly wrapped around them.

Strictly speaking, it was their first time liking someone, but they didn’t expect that this fondness was so short-lived. It ended before it even began, even shorter than the bloom of the shortest-lasting flower.

"What should we do? He simply can’t accept us. Are you still planning to persist, sister?" Guoguo, who had always been strong and stable, showed a confused expression in front of Tangtang for the first time.

Tangtang, feeling heartbroken for Guoguo, was also heartbroken over their love.

"What can we do if we don’t persist? We’ve already fallen for him. Can we just give up like that? Love doesn’t come so easily," Tangtang chuckled wryly.

"Forget it, stop overthinking. Let’s take it one step at a time. Let’s get through tomorrow’s interview first. We can’t keep freeloading at Brother Xu’s house forever," Guoguo said.

"You’re absolutely right." Tangtang took a deep breath and made a cheer-up gesture to herself.

"Let’s just take it one step at a time. Put this matter behind us. Our main task now is to find a job," Tangtang said.

The sisters ended their sorrow by changing the subject.

The sisters returned to their room together, browsing through job postings for a while before slipping into sweet dreams.

The next day, the sisters got up early. When Xu Ke came out of his room, he saw the already prepared food on the dining table, with a handwritten note beside it.

The handwriting was clean and neat, with two chibi characters drawn, which made Xu Ke smile involuntarily.

After breakfast, Xu Ke went to keep watch at the casino.

Perhaps due to Xu Ke’s iron-fisted suppression a few days ago, after his arrival at the casino, regardless of their true intentions, on the surface, everyone treated Xu Ke with much respect.

No one dared to make any moves that might displease Xu Ke.

Though the casino was huge, with many people coming and going, few dared to start trouble.

Xu Ke watched as today’s troublemakers at the casino were handled by his subordinates one by one, without raising an eyebrow.

Meanwhile, Tangtang and Guoguo’s job search journey was still not going smoothly. They interviewed with several companies, finding mismatched conditions or discrepancies from what was said on the phone.

Some were even deceptive. By the end of the day, the sisters were exhausted.

Yet, they persevered and stood in front of the last company of the day.

This was the last of all the interviews they had lined up from yesterday. If this one failed, it would be another fruitless day.

"It’s the last one. Let’s hang in there. There’s no way the goddess of fortune would neglect us and keep toying with us. I have a feeling this interview will be successful,"

Tangtang said, encouraging Guoguo. She knew her sister was very dejected after a day of job hunting. Not only was her love life not going well, but her career seemed insurmountably tough too.

If Tangtang weren’t naturally an optimist, she herself wouldn’t have been able to hold on.

But this time, it seemed like the goddess of fortune really was smiling upon them. Just walking into the company, they could completely feel the difference from the previous companies.

The company looked considerably more upscale, and the front desk staff behaved more professionally. Everyone moving around in the company appeared different, very confident, like refined urban professionals.

This atmosphere made the sisters involuntarily feel a shiver in their bones, not out of fear, but excitement.

Just thinking that they might also become like them—dressed in dazzling outfits, shuttling in tall buildings and living an enviable life—made the smiles on the sisters’ faces more genuine.

Upon seeing they were fresh graduates here for an interview, the front desk smiled more warmly and, while contacting HR for them, explained some things about the company quietly.

The language was concise and interesting, making it easy for them to remember what was said and giving them a preliminary understanding of the company.

The sisters sensed the front desk personnel’s goodwill, which made their smiles even brighter.

They have always been like this: treat others well as they are treated well. They don’t disappoint anyone’s goodwill and won’t spare anyone who wishes to harm them.

The front desk personnel currently showed them genuine goodwill, and though they had nothing tangible to offer in return, they could smile even brighter, letting the person feel their goodwill.

Fortunately, the receptionist didn’t mind these things. After confirming with the HR department, she led Tangtang and Guoguo upstairs.

"I’ll leave you here. I hope to see you in the company in the future. Good luck with the interview." The receptionist gave a kindly smile and showed a cheer-up gesture to the sisters.

Then she returned to her work station.

The sisters, a bit anxious, pushed open the door to the HR department. In their imagination, the HR manager of this company, whether male or female, should be a serious person.

It seemed only a stern-faced person matched with this company.

But when the sisters opened the HR department door, they were greeted by a beautiful woman, who also had a kind smile on her face.

Such a smile on her face didn’t weaken her brilliance, and it made her look much more harmless and approachable.

Seeing such a Human Resources Director, Tangtang and Guoguo instantly felt not nervous anymore.

"Come in, and close the door behind you," the HR Director said with a smile.
