Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 688: Chapter 248: The Special Intern—Yan Qiuwen Applies to New Era

"Director Su, am I disturbing you?"

"Not at all, Supervisor Huang. What’s the matter?"

Su Zelin forced himself to be alert.

"Here’s the thing. At this morning’s intern recruitment meeting, an exceptional applicant showed up who is interested in joining the operations department. I thought it necessary to report to you and see how we can arrange her position!"

Huang Jinpeng stated his purpose.

This also piqued Su Zelin’s interest a bit.

New Era also offers internship opportunities to college students.

Many large companies do this.

Interns receive low pay, some even work without any pay at all, essentially as free labor.

Moreover, for college students who perform well during their internship, you can extend an olive branch to them. If they’re not suitable, you can let them go once the internship ends. This is a great way to recruit and select talent.

Generally, interns hold a position in the company even lower than the formal newbies, so there’s not much to discuss about their positions; they’re certainly at the bottom tier.

However, for the HR supervisor to personally come looking for Su Zelin to discuss how to arrange her position, that seemed quite odd to the slacker.

"How exceptional is this applicant?"

"Director Su, why don’t you take a look for yourself?"

Huang Jinpeng placed a thick stack of profile documents in front of him.

As Su Zelin flipped through them, he soon understood why Huang Jinpeng had viewed the applicant with such admiration.

Apart from the personal resume, there were also dozens of copies of award certificates attached!

When applying, every college student tries to submit certificates and such to add points for themselves; this is quite normal.

But dozens of certificate copies—that’s quite exaggerated!

Su Zelin couldn’t help but be amazed.

When he saw the name on the resume, he was even more surprised—Yan Qiuwen!

The school was Zhejiang University, likely Qin Shiqing’s roommate, not someone with the same name.

Moreover, that thick stack of certificates explained everything.

There may be many girls named Yan Qiuwen in the world, but you won’t find another genius with the same name.

Nonetheless, why did Qiuwen come to New Era to apply?

Su Zeli was puzzled.

It’s not that the slacker underestimated himself.

New Era is indeed a well-known enterprise in the province.

But compared to a genius like Yan Qiuwen, it seems a bit like a small temple unable to accommodate a great deity.

She could easily choose an internship at any of the top 500 companies nationwide; even getting into a giant company would be no problem.

With this pile of certificates, every domestic and international unit and company would be eager to hire her.

It’s like a great deity coming to a small temple.

Such an intern can’t be treated simply as a newbie.

Outstanding talent always receives special treatment, which is why Huang Jinpeng specifically brought it to Su Zelin for discussion.

"I know this girl!"

After a while, Su Zelin looked up.

"Director Su knows her?"

Huang Jinpeng was slightly surprised.

"Yes, you could say we’re friends."

The slacker said casually.

The HR supervisor was even more amazed upon hearing this.

It’s true that birds of a feather flock together.

To become the company’s operations director at such a young age, Su Zelin is undoubtedly a genius.

Huang Jinpeng had quite a few interactions with Su Zelin due to work relations.

At first, he was puzzled that the company’s operations director was so young, but soon realized that this young man reached this position not through connections. He actively participated in New Era’s development planning and many important affairs, handling them competently.

New Era’s success today owes greatly to him.

This female intern, clutching dozens of various certificates while applying, was also evidently a genius.

Was she perhaps coming for Director Su?

Huang Jinpeng wondered.

And it’s quite possible, you know.

Director Su is a remarkable individual, bound to have a great appeal with women.

Unless it was influenced by personal connections, how could New Era possibly attract such a talent?

Especially as her interest was in the operations department.

With so many departments in the company, it might not be just a coincidence.

But the HR supervisor only speculated inwardly without gossiping, for this was personal privacy and thus none of his business to pry into.

"Supervisor Huang, leave this matter to me. I’ll contact her soon!"

After thinking for a moment, Su Zelin said.

Yan Qiuwen wanting to intern at New Era was no problem at all.

But the slacker was curious to find out why she wanted to come to New Era.

Was it just a whim, or was there some other reason?

"Alright, Director Su, since she wants to join the operations department, it’s up to you to decide!"

Huang Jinpeng didn’t linger long and then left the office.

Su Zelin’s gaze returned to the personal resume, and he found Yan Qiuwen’s phone number.

He was fairly familiar with this young woman—they could talk freely and knew each other well.

Yet, strangely enough, he didn’t even have her phone number, as they usually communicated through QQ.

So, their relationship was in a strange spot.

He dialed the number, and after a few rings, someone picked up, and it was Yan Qiuwen’s voice.

"Hello?"

"It’s me, Su Zelin!"

"Curious why I’m applying to intern at New Era?"

"A bit."

Their communication was always succinct, a few words conveying the meaning, omitting parts that the other could still understand.

"I want to research an interesting topic, and your company has the materials I need!"

Yan Qiuwen explained briefly.

"An interesting topic?"

Su Zelin thought it over but couldn’t figure it out.

What catches Yan Qiuwen’s interest clearly isn’t how New Era has succeeded but something else.

But since she didn’t elaborate, the slacker didn’t intend to delve deeper.

After all, on account of their friendship, he ought to accommodate her.

Besides, despite her research, as an employee, Yan Qiuwen would certainly fulfill her duties.

Su Zelin had no doubts about her capabilities.

Paying that little intern salary, he gained a great helper.

Even if temporarily, it was still worth it.

It’s akin to getting something invaluable for free—totally worth it!

"OK, you’re officially hired. You can start your internship anytime!"
