The Man’s Decree Chapter 77
Zayne cast a look at Jared behind Maria, upon which a glimmer of disdain flashed across his eyes. Then, he took Maria’s hand and started striding forward. Jared could only trail behind them while Zayne and Maria whispered among themselves. “If you don’t want him to work here, I’ll just fail him during the interview later. Anyway, I’m doing the interview today,” Zayne murmured. “Don’t make it too obvious. Otherwise, my father is going to take me to task again if he complains to his father.” He had just gotten out of prison, so turn him down on that basis,” Maria instructed in hushed tones, leaning close to his ear. They were afraid that Jared would hear them, but unbeknownst to them, Jared caught the entirety of their conversation. After all, his hearing was far superior to the average person then. Behind them, the man chuckled coldly.
Jared could only trail behind Zayne and Maria while they whispered among themselves. Later, they reached the floor where the sales department was located, and Maria pointed at Zayne and said to Jared, “Go with him. And remember what I told you—don’t tell anyone here that you’re acquainted with me!” Jared nodded in acknowledgment before following Zayne to the office where the interview would be held. By then, a crowd was already waiting outside, all there for an interview.
As they entered the office, Zayne strode in and said, “Wait outside. Someone will call you later.” Jared plopped down onto a chair, and a bespectacled young man sitting beside him asked, “Are you here for an interview as well, bro?” Jared nodded. “Which university did you attend? I know many of the interviewees this time are graduates from renowned universities.” The young man jabbered with envy written all over his face.
Jared flashed him a faint smile and replied, “I attended Bay Coast Business School.” The young man exclaimed, “You’re a graduate from Bay Coast? I really laud your courage for coming here for an interview when you attended that institute! It’s even worse than me being from Blue Sky Vocational School!” The look in the young man’s eyes was smug when he gazed at Jared. Jared merely smiled without saying anything.
A young lady in professional attire walked over and said, “Please hand me your resumes. Later, I’ll call you for the interview according to order.” Everyone swiftly submitted their meticulously-prepared resumes, but Jared sat there motionlessly. “Excuse me, sir, but where’s your resume?” the young lady inquired when she noticed Jared’s inaction. “I didn’t prepare a resume,” Jared answered nonchalantly.
A flash of surprise flittered across the young lady’s eyes, but she then asked, “May I know your name, then? It’s so that I know how to address you later.” “My name is Jared Chance,” Jared replied. Nodding, the young lady spun around and walked into the office. Everyone eyed Jared as though he was an idiot. A young man who had been talking to him regarded him strangely and whispered, “Do you have connections here, thus going through the back door, bro? You must be going through the back door. Otherwise, why wouldn’t you have prepared a resume? Also, I could tell at a single glance that the person who brought you here earlier is a high-ranking executive in the office. No wonder you’re so calm!”
With an ingratiating smile on his face, the young man took out a box of chewing gum from his pocket and offered it to him. Jared accepted it without hesitation and threw a piece into his mouth.
