Chapter 152 Welcome Dinner
Shen Nian was the last one to go on stage.
She didn't say much, only mentioning her name, school, and major, asking for everyone's guidance, and then she ended the conversation.
It seems they didn't intend to use this opportunity to showcase themselves.
Compared to the more than twenty minutes it took for others to introduce themselves, her two-minute self-introduction left many people speechless, and the meeting room suddenly became somewhat quiet.
Shen Nian was a little embarrassed and was about to step off the stage.
The HR director suddenly spoke up, "You must be the girl who participated in the development of the company's Peach Blossom Lake Resort project! Very good."
All eyes turned to the HR director, including Shen Nian, who wondered why the director would suddenly bring up her project at JK Group.
Even if she were naive, she would know that the other person was helping her, because everyone's eyes were now on her.
Shen Nian cast a grateful glance at the HR director, who smiled and nodded slightly.
Shen Nian stepped off the stage and returned to her seat. The girl next to her asked, "So you participated in the company's project development before? Were you with the project department? I heard that the project department and the entertainment department are the most profitable departments in the company. In addition to the internship salary, there are a lot of extra bonuses. I really hope to be assigned to one of these two departments."
The girl looked at Shen Nian and asked, "What about you? Which department would you most like to join?"
Shen Nian hadn't planned to respond, but she hadn't expected the other person to ask her first. She smiled and said, "Well... I guess I can't choose. It depends on what the company decides..."
"You have to have some hope, right? Look at everyone introducing themselves just now. So many people were aiming for those two departments, and they all emphasized their relevant experience in their introductions. What do you think they were doing?!"
Shen Nian really didn't expect that everyone's self-introductions contained this meaning!
Just in time for the notification that there would be a dinner party that evening, organized by the HR department, the first meal for new employees, and a welcome ceremony.
After a full day of training, everyone cheered with joy and relaxed when they heard there would be food.
The restaurant was a nearby hotel, with two tables reserved: one for the interns and one for the company staff.
Shen Nian lowered her head and packed her things, then took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Mo Ze.
【Uncle, I have a dinner party tonight, you don't need to wait for me.】 During their lunch break, the two chatted on WeChat for a while. Shen Nian had originally planned to go home together after get off work and meet at the intersection where she got off the bus in the morning.
The first day's activities were unexpectedly plentiful, including a welcome dinner. So, the uncle could only go home first, and she would take a taxi after the event.
Moze quickly replied with a single word: "Okay."
Reassured, Shen Nian put away her phone, and the girl sitting next to her warmly invited her to walk together.
"Do you know where the hotel address posted in the group is? I just returned to China and I'm not very familiar with it yet," the other person asked with a bright smile.
This group of interns has a work group, and the HR staff just posted the address for tonight's dinner party in the group.
It's a hotel right next to the company; you can just walk there.
"It's not far from the company. Just turn left when you go out and walk straight for about fifteen minutes," Shen Nian replied with a smile.
The other person took her hand and said, "Let's go together."
Before Shen Nian could say anything, she was pulled away.
After spending a day together, the others had also become familiar with each other and headed to the dining area in groups of three or five. There were ten people in total, five boys and five girls. I don't know if they were specially selected, but the ratio was quite balanced.
Shen Nian overheard the two girls walking ahead of them discussing something.
"I wonder if the president of JK Group will come over tonight. I'm so looking forward to it~" one of the girls whispered, her tone excited.
"It's just a welcome dinner for interns; such a big shot definitely won't come," another girl said.
"I've already found out that every year at the welcome dinner, the president of JK Group will definitely be there to have the first meal with everyone. Last year it was President Qin, but I don't know who it will be this year. I hope it's President Ji. I've seen him on variety shows, he's so handsome~" The girl shared the inside scoop she had found out with another person.
Hearing their conversation, the girl holding Shen Nian's hand pulled Shen Nian closer, asking, "Really? Really? A big CEO is coming over tonight?"
The girl who had just spoken replied confidently, "Absolutely true. I found this information online by lurking around; it was leaked by a previous intern."
"Then I hope it's President Tang. The charm of a mature man is truly irresistible. ┭┮﹏┭┮~" the girl holding Shen Nian said with a lovesick look on her face.
Another person also expressed a desire to see President Ji join forces with the previous one.
The three people looked at Shen Nian and asked her who she wanted to be.
Shen Nian smiled faintly, "Anything is fine with me~"
Just make sure it's not an older man!
I didn't hear the uncle mention anything about the welcome dinner, so it definitely wasn't him!
Shen Nian thought to herself.
We arrived at the hotel quickly, where the company's HR department staff were already there and ready.
The cold dishes have all been placed on the table.
Shen Nian and the others sat at the table inside, while the other JK Group employees sat at a table near the door.
The HR director was present in person and said that a senior leader would be coming later to welcome everyone to the company.
As soon as he finished speaking, the others began to whisper and discuss among themselves.
The girl just said confidently, "See? I told you a big shot would come."
People started whispering about who might be coming.
As Shen Nian listened, it seemed that everyone didn't know much about the uncle, because no one had mentioned him yet.
Five minutes after they were seated, the door to the private room slowly opened, and a handsome figure came into everyone's view. His iron-gray suit was impeccable, and his sharply defined face revealed flawless, exquisite features. His tie clip emitted a faint gold hue, exuding an air of nobility. His composed demeanor abruptly silenced the whispers in the room.
Shen Nian stared blankly at the person who appeared at the door of the private room for a while, then her eyes widened.
How could it be an older man...?
He hadn't just replied with "okay," so she assumed he must have already gone home.
Mo Ze glanced at everyone indifferently, finally lingering on Shen Nian for a few minutes before his cold expression softened slightly.
Shen Nianxin raised her hand, afraid that he would call her at this moment.
Fortunately, the uncle's gaze only lingered on her for a few seconds before he looked away, without calling out to her in front of everyone.
Shen Nian breathed a sigh of relief, quietly took out her phone, and sent a WeChat message to Mo Ze.
Uncle, please pretend you don't know me, and don't call me that in front of everyone!
After sending the WeChat message, she felt much more at ease. She pretended to be calm and sat down properly with everyone else, waiting for the meal to be served.
