Chapter 154 Interview with the B&B Manager
"Xiao Jiang, are you the boss here?"
Yang Jianjun widened his eyes and asked in great surprise.
He thought Jiang Duoduo was just a girl from a well-off family, but he didn't expect that she would be the general manager of such a large B&B.
Having just ridden in Jiang Duoduo's car all the way here, Yang Jianjun already had a rough idea of where this place was.
Anyone who can open a B&B near Kenmore Lake Forest Park is definitely not an ordinary person.
It seems that I have really met a noble person this time!
"Uncle Yang, calling me boss sounds old, but I do own this B&B. Let me introduce you, this is our B&B's security guard, Wang Yuncheng. I'll have him show you the security room and other areas of the B&B. I have something else to do inside, so I'll come see you later."
After Jiang Duoduo finished speaking, she whispered a few words to Wang Yuncheng, asking him to take Uncle Yang and the others around to have a look.
"Okay, Mr. Jiang!"
Wang Yuncheng didn't know where this uncle surnamed Yang came from. But Jiang Duoduo brought them here personally, so they must be related. Sigh...
Wang Yuncheng sighed secretly in his heart, thinking that this should also be a family-managed B&B.
After Jiang Duoduo handed Uncle Yang and the other man over to Wang Yuncheng, she carried the insulated box to the annex building.
When she passed the conference room on the second floor, she saw a woman in her thirties, wearing a black business suit and holding a resume in her hand, waiting anxiously at the door of the conference room.
Jiang Duoduo first took the thermal box in her hand to her office, and then came to the conference room.
"Are you here for an interview too?"
The woman in professional attire who was waiting at the door saw Jiang Duoduo coming over again, and thought she was also here for an interview, so she asked.
"I do not……"
Before Jiang Duoduo could finish her words, the door of the conference room suddenly opened.
Zheng Jingsi and a boy in his twenties wearing black-framed glasses walked out.
"Mr. Jiang, you've arrived just in time. This person is Dai Yu, the homestay operations planner I just interviewed. Would you like to talk to him in more detail?"
Zheng Jingsi looked at Jiang Duoduo and said.
"No need. It's the same for Mr. Zheng's interview. Hello! Welcome to Sunset Villa. Is it okay for you to come to work tomorrow?"
When Jiang Duoduo meets a suitable employee, what she cares most about is whether the person can start work immediately, because time is really tight.
"no problem!"
Dai Yu adjusted his black-framed glasses and said with a gentle smile.
"So she's the general manager of this B&B!"
The woman in professional attire standing nearby suddenly looked embarrassed because she had just mistaken the man for someone who was here for an interview.
"You are Fang Xinyue, who is here to apply for the position of B&B housekeeper, right?"
After Dai Yu left, Zheng Jingsi asked Fang Xinyue who was standing aside.
Following Zheng Jingsi's question, Jiang Duoduo turned her gaze again to the woman in the professional suit.
"Yes, I am Fang Xinyue."
Fang Xinyue felt a little nervous when her name was suddenly called.
However, her years of work experience allowed her to adjust herself instantly. She raised her head and answered Zheng Jingsi calmly.
"Okay, let's go into the conference room and talk!"
"Ok!"
After a brief conversation, the two entered the conference room. Jiang Duoduo did not say anything and followed them into the office calmly.
She found a seat not far from Zheng Jingsi and sat down, then raised her hand to Zheng Jingsi, meaning that she would just take a look and he would still be in charge of the interview.
Jiang Duoduo was a complete novice when it came to interviews, and she had to go through with her own teeth when interviewing Zheng Jingsi.
Now that the B&B has hired such a talented manager, she won’t show off her skills in front of Zheng Jingsi, an expert!
Zheng Jingsi was not pretentious. When Jiang Duoduo asked him to come for the interview, he got straight to the point.
"Hello, Miss Fang! I've taken a quick look at your resume. Could you please introduce yourself to us?"
Jiang Duoduo sat aside, staring at the laptop she had just opened with a puzzled look on her face. Wasn't Fang Xinyue's specific information already filled out on her application resume?
Why did Zheng Jingsi ask her to introduce herself?
But despite her doubts, Jiang Duoduo didn't interrupt to ask questions, but sat aside and watched quietly. She just thought she was here to learn interview experience.
"Okay! My name is Fang Xinyue. I'm 37 years old, married with children, and graduated from J University with a degree in Hotel Management. I've worked at the Blue Hotel in J City for six years, rising through the ranks from front desk receptionist to lobby manager."
Fang Xinyue repeated the self-introduction that she had memorized so well in the past few days to Zheng Jingsi and Jiang Duoduo.
That’s right, Jiang Duoduo’s Sunset Villa was not Fang Xinyue’s first employment target.
Before this, she had sent her resume to famous hotels in J City such as Leica International, Royal Capital, Civic, and even her former employer, Wei Lan.
She interviewed at several places, but was rejected because she was over 35 and had been a housewife at home for eight years.
Especially Chen Liming, the HR manager of the former employer, the Blue Hotel, whose words during the interview were a bit sarcastic.
I asked Fang Xinyue if it was because her family couldn't make ends meet that she had to go out to work after being a housewife for eight years?
He also said that there are many young people with high education and strong abilities nowadays, so why does their hotel want to hire a housewife in her thirties or forties to be the lobby manager?
Fang Xinyue was extremely angry at that time. She didn't expect that her former boss would be so ruthless and speak so harshly!
Therefore, after that interview, Fang Xinyue set her sights on a B&B with lower requirements.
But after choosing and choosing, she still couldn't find any B&B that made her want to interview. That is until she saw the job posting for Jiang Duoduo's Sunset Villa.
Fang Xinyue felt that this Sunset Villa not only had a superior environment, but also had its own mysterious aura and popularity. If it was managed well in the future, its prospects would be no worse than those hotels.
So I submitted my resume overnight.
Her original intention was to apply for the position of B&B manager, but there was no manager listed in the recruitment positions, so she must have already found a B&B manager.
Therefore, Fang Xinyue had to settle for the second best and chose to apply for the position of B&B housekeeper.
"Can you tell me why you quit your job and went back to work after being a housewife for eight years? Was it because of some family change? Like financial pressure or something?"
Seeing that Fang Xinyue's answer was relatively calm, Zheng Jingsi asked her a more serious question.
"I chose to be a housewife because I got married and had children. At that time, there was no other way because the children were young and there was no one to take care of them."
"Now that my child is in primary school, I have some free time of my own. So I want to start over and give it another try to fulfill the flame in my heart that hasn't been completely extinguished yet!"
When Jiang Duoduo saw Fang Xinyue say that she wanted to fight again for the fire in her heart, that extremely determined look in her eyes was exactly the motivation she needed.
Putting aside other things, just for this point, Jiang Duoduo voted for Fang Xinyue in her heart!
