YM778.TV Chapter 901 Hired!
She was very cautious as Christian\'s expression seemed to be unhappy. She had to be careful with her answer. Who knows they were just testing her and this is part of the screening test.
Christian was about to answer Myrene but Grandpa Lu held his shoulder thus stopping him from speaking up.
"Yes, that\'s part of the interview so give us an honest answer," Grandpa Lu said meaningfully, fighting a smile. He pretended to be serious.
Myrene didn\'t know what to say. She glanced at Zu Wan as if asking for confirmation. Zu Wan could only nod, playing along with Grandpa Lu\'s plan.
Seeing the go signal from both men, Myrene finally answered Grandpa Lu\'s first question.
"Ahm, The CEO is undeniably handsome. I am also certain that he is both boyfriend material and husband material," Myrene said with an awkward smile, her cheeks blushing red. She avoided looking in Christian\'s direction. She felt a little bit embarrassed.
Zu Wan smiled, trying to hold his laughter. He could see that Christian felt uncomfortable since he became the topic of the interview. But he couldn\'t stop his great-grandpa from talking.
"Will you fall for him?" Grandpa Lu followed up with a question.
"Cough! Cough!" Both Zu Wan and Myrene choke on their saliva after hearing that very direct question. Meanwhile, Christian could only glance at his great-grandpa with a questioning gaze. He wanted to dig a hole right now and hide! Grandpa Lu was making him more embarrassed.
"Gramps…" Christian called him out, his eyes asking him to stop.
Grandpa Lu just gave him a reassuring smile before tapping his back. He waited for Myrene\'s answer.
"So, what is your answer, Myrene?"
Myrene darted his gaze back and forth between Grandpa Lu and Christian. She wondered if Grandpa Lu was trying to test her honesty or if he wanted to know if she would act professionally, not letting herself fall in love with her future boss.
\'Is office romance prohibited in this company?\' Myrene asked herself, still trying to figure out what the safer answer to that question was. \'Will I not get accepted if I answer yes?\'
Her mind was telling her to answer the most professional one but her tongue slipped and answered "Yes." There was a light gleam in her eyes when she said that.
"Cough! Cough!" This time it was Christian who choked on his saliva. He didn\'t expect that Myrene would choose to answer that. If he was to decide, he would definitely reject her application because of this.
"You are hired!" Grandpa Lu suddenly stated, shocking the other three people in that hall.
Zu Wan: "..."
Christian: "Gramps???"
Myrene: \'Eh? What did I just hear? Maybe I just heard it wrong.\'
"Sir, I beg your pardon… but can you please repeat what you had just said?"
"Oh, I\'m sorry. I have to know something before we proceed with the hiring process. Myrene, are you single?"
"Gramps!!!" This time Christian could no longer stand it.
Zu Wan could only chuckle, looking at them.
"Yes, Sir. I\'m single," Myrene answered absentmindedly, blinking several times. She still couldn\'t believe that an interview process would be like this.
She studied last night, preparing for this interview. She did more research on how the Heavenly Star Enterprise operates. She wanted to ensure that she would give them a very impressive answer as if she had known almost everything about the company.
It was her goal to work in this company no matter what. She was so nervous as she knew that other applicants possessed a nice background. But who would have thought that she would be hired after answering three questions about her future boss?
"Alright! You are hired and this is final. You can start working tomorrow." Grandpa Lu declared to them with finality in his voice.
"Is that true?" Myrene asked Grandpa Lu just to make sure.
Grandpa Lu just nodded his head with a wide grin on his face.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you so much!" Myrene continued thanking Grandpa Lu while bowing her head numerous times. She was truly happy about the result of this interview.
"You can go now and prepare all the documents needed. You can go to the HR now to sign your contract." Zu Wan informed Myrene. He had no objections to Grandpa Lu\'s decision. He knew that this old man had a good reason for hiring Myrene. He might saw something in her.
Myrene thanked them once again before leaving the hall. When she left, Christian confronted his great-grandpa.
"Gramps, what is that all about… just now?"
"Hmm. Nothing. What\'s wrong? We agreed already that I would be the one to choose your secretary since you couldn\'t choose among them." Grandpa Lu justified his actions.
Christian couldn\'t refute that. He heaved a sigh of defeat. "What are we going to do with the other two applicants?"
Zu Wan just shrugged his shoulders. He would leave this decision to Grandpa Lu.
"Hmm, don\'t worry about them. The two guys and the rest of the applicants will be hired but in the different departments."
"Ok, Gramps," Christian said, reluctantly agreeing to everything.
"Don\'t worry, great-grandson. I am a good judge of character. I think Myrene will be a good secretary to you. So be a good boss to her as well."
"I understand gramps."

After signing her contract in the HR department, Myrene left immediately. Upon reaching the lobby, she called her Mom.
"Mom! I got it! The job. I will start working here in the Heavenly Star Enterprise starting tomorrow!" Myrene cheerfully informed her mother.
"Good job. This is one step away from our goal. Just keep it up, Myrene." Her mom said to her meaningfully.
In fact, it was her mother who encouraged her to work in the Heavenly Star Enterprise. Not wanting to disappoint and disobey her mother, Myrene worked so hard just to get this opportunity.
"Okay, Mom! I will drop by the supermarket and buy some ingredients. We will have to celebrate tonight!"
