Mr Grant, Please Be Gentle

Blanca, with a large brown envelope in her hand, stopped the elevator at 18th floor, where the personnel department was located. She needed to register here before starting her new work. When she got out of the elevator, she saw a young woman coming toward her. “Excuse me, which office is the personnel department?” Blanca asked with a smile.

The young woman examined her up and down. When she noticed Blanca’s suits and shoes, she was too surprised to speak. She had seen the suit in the latest magazine. If she remembered correctly, the suit was worth 40 grand. When she looked from the suits to the shoes, her eyes were wider than ever. The shoes were first appeared in a fashion show the other day and were worth an astronomical price!

“Are…Are you here to interview?” the young woman asked in surprise.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Blanca shook her head and answered, “No, I’m not. I work here from today.” She was unaware of the young woman’s envious look. She was shocked at the price at the beginning, but she was calmer now. After all, these crazy expensive clothes were nothing more than an outfit.

In contrast to Blanca’s composure, the young woman was more excited. She pointed in the direction of the personnel department, trembling. Blanca walked towards the office after saying thanks. The office door was open. She knocked on the door and said, “Excuse me, I work here from today.”

A middle-aged woman replied, “Come in. What’s your name? Have you got all your documents ready?

“Yes.” Blanca said and took out documents from her brown envelope.

The woman glanced at her resume. Then she shrugged her shoulders contemptuously. “It’s ridiculous. You didn’t even complete high school. I have seen so many guys like you. You people preferred to look for a shortcut. I guess you have some connection with someone up above. Am I right?” The woman said. She did not recognize Blanca at all.

At these words, Blanca blushed as red as a rose with shame. The woman raised her eyebrow in disdain and sat cross-legged on a chair. She continued, “Have I upset you? That is completely the wrong attitude. You know what? I hate girls like you. I know, with your pretty face, you hooked up with someone, and then you get a chance to work here. But I just want to get one thing straight here. If you are unqualified for the job, I can fire you! By then, it will be frightfully embarrassing!”

Blanca didn’t say anything. She hung down her head and her hands were closed into tight fists, her blush deepening. The woman was correct. She was ineligible to work here. In fact, Blanca had checked out the recruitment programs of the company. Generally, the Empire Group liked to choose employees with a master’s degree and bilingual ability. Strictly speaking, Blanca didn’t not even close to the standards of recruitment.

“Sorry. Can I finish the procedures now?” Blanca asked in a low voice, biting her lip. What the woman said was true, but Blanca could not pass on an opportunity like this.

The woman shot her a look and threw her an employee ID card. “It’s all done. And remember to give me your bankcard number in these days.”

Blanca nodded. When she rubbed the employee ID card gently, her face broke into a radiant smile. “Thank you!” she said earnestly. From this point forward, she was officially part of the Creative Department in Empire Group. But as she looked her employee ID card closer, she found that there painted a word: intern, but for Blanca, it didn’t matter at all.
