On what grounds?

  Arriving at the entrance of the company, Chen Chen took out his mobile phone to check the time. There were still five minutes before four o'clock, and he was definitely not going to be late this time. He couldn't help but calm down and walked into the gate with a steady mind.

  "Hello, I'm Chen Chen. You notified me to come for an interview at 4 o'clock."

  "Please wait a moment." The receptionist nodded and dialed an internal phone call, saying a few words.

  Before long, another middle-aged woman came out from inside and walked straight to Chen Chen: "You are Chen Chen, I am the HR manager here, my surname is Zhang, it was me who called you."

  "Hello, Manager Zhang." Chen Chen quickly stood up and nodded in greeting.

  "Let's go inside and talk." Manager Zhang scowled, without a hint of a smile, simply beckoning with his hand as he walked towards the interior.

  Chen Chen stiffened slightly, but still quickly followed behind her.

  Two people, one in front of the other, came into the reception room and sat down. Chen Chen handed over his academic certificate and graduation thesis: "Manager Zhang, these are things from my school days, take a few minutes to look at them, I'm sure you'll have a deeper understanding of me."

  "All these are meaningless, we value actual ability." Manager Zhang snorted and casually pushed the things back.

  "As for actual ability, it should not disappoint you." Chen Chen was slightly stunned and quickly spoke up: "Although I just graduated a few months ago, during my school days, I actively participated in various social practices and am not the kind of person who only reads books."

  Anyone can say nice words, but it's another story when it comes to action. Manager Zhang looked at Chen Chen with a cold gaze: "We have high demands for our employees here, and we're usually very busy. Overtime is a common occurrence, so I hope you're mentally prepared."

  Overtime?

  Chen Chen let out a soft sigh. With his current experience, he shouldn't ask for too much, might as well just be busy. As long as he could get some training, that was good enough.

  At this moment, a smile returned to his face: "Overtime is also a kind of exercise, I can accept it."

  "Probation period is three months, probationary salary is one thousand." The aunt still had a straight face, as if she had lost the function of smiling: "After becoming regular, sign a formal contract, salary is one thousand eight hundred, with five insurances and one fund."

  The salary is not high, but Chen Chen knew he had no other choice, so he nodded: "I accept."

  "There's nothing else from me, but we'll have to wait for our boss to return and decide whether to hire you." Hearing that Chen Chen had no objection, the middle-aged woman stood up: "You just wait here, and our boss will come back to talk to you personally."

  Saying so, he didn't wait for Chen Chen's reaction and left on his own.

  The reception room was left with only Chen Chen sitting alone, at this time, he also found it inconvenient to say more, at least there had been a great opportunity, just wait for the boss to come back and talk about it again, should be almost done.

  The journey is long, overtime is required, and the salary is low. If someone else were in this position, they probably wouldn't be interested in this job either.

  But Chen Chen really reached the end of his rope, he had been looking for a job but it didn't go smoothly, and he was too proud to ask his parents for money again. He really needed a job so badly that even if it wasn't ideal, he could only start with it first.

  He sat there for an hour, like a forgotten corner, with no one coming to ask about him, not even a cup of water, just waiting dryly, and the time had already reached five thirty.

  Chen Chen couldn't sit still anymore, got up and walked out of the reception room, carefully looking around to find the location of the personnel department.

  At this time, Manager Zhang happened to be passing by and saw him coming out. He immediately shouted in dissatisfaction: "Hey, what are you doing running around everywhere? Weren't you told to wait quietly inside? Don't disturb our work!"

  "No way." Chen Chen hastily explained with a smile: "Manager Zhang, I'm not running around everywhere, it's just that we've been waiting for so long, look at the time now, it's already 5:30. Is your boss forgetting? Or would you mind giving him a call?"

  "Alright, alright, I know. You go inside and wait patiently." Manager Zhang waved his hand impatiently: "Stop running around everywhere. Young people these days have no patience at all?"

  Chen Chen helplessly sighed and returned to the reception room to sit down.

  Forget it, having waited for so long, waiting a little longer doesn't matter. Anyway, it's almost six o'clock and the boss should be back before work ends. The job is almost in hand, just bear with it a bit more.

  It took about an hour back and forth like this.

  When Chen Chen anxiously looked at the time again, it was already 6:20.

  He was about to get up, but Manager Zhang had already pushed the door and walked in, expressionless, saying: "It's like this, the boss just called back and said he has to have dinner with a client tonight, so you can come again tomorrow."

  "Tomorrow?" Chen Chen's heart sank, and he got a bit angry: "Since your boss has something to do, you should have told me earlier. Coming tomorrow is nothing, but why did you let me wait here for two hours in vain?"

  "Who knows? The boss is so busy, something might come up at any moment. What's the harm in waiting a bit? Why are you so impatient?" Hearing Chen Chen dare to question him, Zhang Manager's face fell: "Do you think jobs are that easy to find? All bosses are lining up to wait for you?"

  "It's not easy to find a job, but that doesn't mean you can just play with people!" The other person's words completely ignited Chen Chen's anger: "The boss is busy, does that mean my time isn't time? If I came late, you would say I have no sense of time and don't keep promises. Your boss has been keeping me waiting here for two hours, so can't I also think he has no sense of time and doesn't keep promises?"

  "How dare you speak like that?" Manager Zhang scolded with his hands on his hips and a frown: "You also dare to compare yourself with the boss? What is their status, what is your status? They make hundreds of millions in two hours, what do you make in two hours, nothing!"

  "Isn't it just that you think big shots are precious and small roles like me can be dismissed at will?" Chen Chen sneered, grabbing her handbag: "It's only natural for big shots to ignore small people like me, but if a small person dares to delay a big shot by one second, that's a heinous crime. Isn't this just the case of status determining everything? But..."

  Chen Chen's face turned cold: "What makes you think so?"

  "What right do you have?" Manager Zhang didn't expect Chen Chen to dare ask this and was momentarily unable to respond.

  "I'm not serving this kind of company anymore, it's fine if I don't come!" Chen Chen slung his bag over his shoulder and walked out the door with ease: "What I want is a company that respects people, not one that doesn't treat people as humans."

  He dropped this sentence and strode away.

  Behind him, Zhang's voice came faintly: "Nerves..."

  Chen Chen couldn't help but burst out laughing at this.

  Yes, in their eyes, one's own behavior is simply inexplicable. Shouldn't a small person just swallow their anger and humiliation? Shouldn't they be content with being dominated by the big shots? Shouldn't they just bow down and obey?

  But why?
