Chapter 515 - 515 280 A Future Without Limits
?Chapter 515: Chapter 280: A Future Without Limits Chapter 515: Chapter 280: A Future Without Limits Star Cloud International Group, headquarters building.
Wen Ruan stood at the bottom of the building, looking up.
The glass curtain wall glinted under the sunlight, like a massive mirror, reflecting the city’s prosperity and vitality.
The exterior design of the building was simple but impressive, featuring a clever combination of streamline shapes and geometric figures.
The building was just as magnificent as when she had left; it appeared to have undergone no changes.
She walked into the building through the main entrance.
The spacious and bright space, the towering ceilings, the massive art sculptures, the modern and minimalist decoration…
On one side of the lobby, a large electronic display continuously scrolled with the latest news from the group, market trends, and the company’s cultural philosophies…
The all-too-familiar scene instantly transported Wen Ruan’s thoughts back to eight years ago.
Back then, she had just graduated, stepping into this place full of expectations, dreaming of an extraordinary future.
Time flies; returning to the starting point, a nameless tremor suddenly surged in her heart, overwhelming her with emotion.
Tears began to accumulate in her eyes.
Wen Ruan let out a breath, quickly calming herself down.
After registering at the reception, she took the high-speed elevator directly to the 11th floor.
This was also the core office space for the entire Media Operations Division.
Her return to the group was through an internal referral by Zhao Mingying for the resume to the Deputy General Manager of Media Operations, Ji Qiuyu.
Therefore, her interview was arranged here.
Today was just about chatting with HR and communicating her own needs.
If there were no issues, Ji Qiuyu would personally discuss her compensation and position afterwards.
She called HR, and in a short while, a somewhat familiar figure appeared.
It must have been more than three years since she had last seen the person at the group.
“Good afternoon, Wen Ruan!” HR greeted her with a smile, “I’ll take you to the conference room.”
“Thank you,” Wen Ruan tightened the strap of her bag, following her into the office area.
The familiar decor made her feel a little uneasy.
After all, her departure had been less than gracious.
“Wen Ruan!?” a voice of surprise rang out, “What are you…”
Wen Ruan turned her head and saw a familiar old colleague, Li Mingshuai.
Then came one astonished call after another.
“It’s her!” “Who? She’s so pretty!”
“That’s Wen Ruan from the Marketing and Promotion Division! Ah, I forgot, you joined later and never met her!”
“She used to be the famously beautiful lady in our company!”
“Wow, haven’t seen her in 3 years, she’s even more charming now!”
Although she had left more than three years ago, she had worked here for five years. Thanks to her striking appearance, optimistic and cheerful personality, and outstanding abilities, she knew a great many colleagues.
Wen Ruan pinched the strap of her bag, a faint smile on her face.
As she walked by, she could faintly hear more intense whispers behind her.
She even heard the name “Zhang Zihang.”
This former Director of Digital Marketing, rather than fading into obscurity after that incident, had advanced in his career.
With a father who was a director of the group, and his overseas Fortune 500 work experience,
he had now been promoted to General Manager of the International Cooperation Department.
He was responsible for the company’s collaboration with foreign art institutions and media organizations, promoting the development of international cultural projects.
Combined with his mature and handsome appearance, at the age of 35, and a strong background,
he was considered one of the recognized successors in the group, highly regarded by the staff.
All this was told to her by Sun Simin.
At first, this best friend also advised her to stay.
Given Zhang Zihang’s background and character, he would surely compensate her in the future.
But Wen Ruan, nearly on the verge of a breakdown at the time, had no such thoughts and wished only to escape the city immediately.
“Bang!” The conference room door closed.
Wen Ruan took out her resume from her bag and placed it on the table.
HR glanced at it, chuckled, and said, “You don’t need it. Just state your demands directly next. President Ji just specifically called me, saying she has taken a liking to you, insisting on no one but you!”
Hearing this, Wen Ruan’s eyes fluttered with disbelief, “What do you mean? I don’t need to interview?”
Although confident in herself, the thought of joining the company without an interview had never crossed her mind.
The recruitment process at Star Cloud International Group was very complicated and formal.
Even with an internal recommendation, one had to go through a complete set of three interview rounds.
If it involved recruiting for management at a branch, even President Li Mohai would need to review.
“That’s exactly what I mean.” HR opened the blue folder she carried and continued, “President Ji is currently in a meeting upstairs, discussing major decisions for the Yan City branch with our president and directors; she really can’t break away just now.
President Ji’s intention is to place your personnel relationship in Imperial City, and your compensation will be in full accordance with our standards here.
Of course, your office will definitely be in Yan City.
By doing so, you will also receive an additional travel allowance and reimbursement quota every month…”
HR flipped through the documents, quietly reiterating the arrangements made by Ji Qiuyu.
Wen Ruan listened, growing increasingly shocked.
She never imagined she could be so important in the eyes of this group’s vice president.
After HR finished introducing, Wen Ruan asked some more questions about her job responsibilities and the business of the branch company.
HR answered briefly and finally added, “The specific position isn’t set yet, but after the matters in Yan City are settled, President Ji will personally discuss with you. Everything will be up to your preference.”
Hearing this, Wen Ruan’s heart skipped a beat, realizing something was amiss.
If it were just out of appreciation for her past work performance and abilities, Ji Qiuyu wouldn’t go to such lengths; this was a bit too much.
