Chapter 154: Chapter 154: 200 Yuan Each, Just Show Up!

“I want to ask, does the company require overtime work?”

“Yes! But our company pays overtime wages at the regular rate, and the cafeteria serves free gourmet food until midnight.”

Getting paid for overtime work is acceptable, and most importantly, if you work a lot of overtime, your monthly salary might exceed thirty thousand.

Wow, Wang Huihui was startled by her own thought. In an unknown small town, if not for Candy Technology being here, she would have never thought of coming to this unfamiliar little town.

Yet, because Candy Technology settled here, Wang Huihui felt a surge of motivation!

With the opportunity to earn more money, how could Wang Huihui possibly refuse?

After years of studying day and night, wasn’t it all to have a better life?

“Miss, are you not able to accept overtime work? Overtime is completely voluntary. If you don’t want to work overtime, you can leave work on time every day.”

That’s what HR told Wang Huihui, but in reality, when you see others getting double or even more wages than you because of overtime, you’ll be conflicted whether to work overtime or not.

Especially those guys in the tech development department, someone started the trend of developing software to calculate daily wages based on hours worked, and people kept checking it daily.

Not doing overtime made everyone feel uneasy.

“No, I can accept overtime.” Wang Huihui nodded affirmatively.

“Great, I’ll help you start your onboarding process now, and later remember to upload your bank card and other info through the company’s internal software.”

“It’s best to complete it before the 15th of this month, because as stated in the recruitment info, our company disburses salaries on the 15th of every month, with overtime pay included in the following month.”

“I understand that.”

Salaries are disbursed in advance, and since overtime pay is incurred only with extra work, paying it in the next month is just normal.

“Alright, here’s your employee card with your ID on it.”

“Instructions and necessary software downloads are printed on these papers.”

“If possible, the sooner you can start, the better. The tech development department is urgently in need of staff.”

“Okay.”

Among a row of interviewees, Wang Huihui was the quickest one.

Just as she prepared to leave and pack her things, HR called her back.

“Hey? Miss, wait a moment.”

“Take this money and sign on this form for me.”

Seeing the 200 RMB in HR’s hand left Wang Huihui stunned.

What does this mean?

“Take it quickly! This is a travel subsidy the company provides to all candidates who passed the initial round of interviews.”

“Travel subsidy???”

“Yes, how about it, our company’s benefits are good, right?”

Wang Huihui was already numb. More than good, this is practically the pinnacle for a private company.

Although 200 RMB isn’t much, it’s very heartwarming.

Moreover, for a fresh graduate like Wang Huihui, 200 RMB is quite significant.

At the very least, it covers the travel costs.

Feeling quite pleased, Wang Huihui happily signed her name on the form.

Very soon, Wang Huihui, who was leaving the building, followed the instructions to download the Candy app.

Looking at the assigned dormitory, she headed toward the apartment building to check out the dorm.

On the fifth floor, she located the correct door number, lightly swiped the employee card, and the door opened with a click.

Upon entering, she saw a built-in cabinet.

On the left was the bathroom, two beds were placed forward, and neither was occupied.

Continuing ahead, there was a small balcony.

Except for not seeing a washing machine, Wang Huihui was more than satisfied with this environment.

“Oh no~ I need to buy a lot of daily necessities, this is going to be expensive.”

A short while later, after purchasing a load of items at the supermarket below the apartment, she returned to the dorm with her hands full.

In that short span, over five hundred RMB was spent.

On the other hand, Candy Technology happily credited over five hundred RMB.

Despite Mo Jingchun generously giving 200 RMB to all interviewees who passed the initial round, he actually didn’t incur losses, he even profited quite a bit.

For those who stay, never mind everything else, won’t you need a four-piece bedding set for the bed?

Isn’t two towels a must? Toothpaste, toothbrush, slippers…

Whatever employees need, the basement supermarket stocks it.

Plus, the prices in the supermarket are just a tad higher than outside.

A week later, the number of new hires reached an astonishing 10,086 people, though as time went by, fewer and fewer people were showing up for interviews daily.

Nevertheless, twenty to thirty people were still coming in for interviews every day.

At the front desk lobby, Candy was happily playing with the ladies.

Meanwhile, as Candy’s guardian, Mo Jingchun was in the lab at the experimental building, crafting prescription glasses by hand.

“Hahaha~ It tickles~”

Giggling and squirming, Candy ran around in laughter.

Just then, someone entered the lobby and approached the front desk with a smile.

“Hello, I’m here for an interview for the algorithm engineer position.”

Upon hearing a stranger’s voice, Candy immediately ran to Zhou Yaling’s side, hugging her leg and peeking out carefully.

With a smile, Zhou Yaling mechanically said to the newcomer, “One moment, could you tell me which HR is handling your case? I’ll call them over for you.”

“Huang Xiaohui.”

“Alright, please take a seat on the sofa while you wait.”

Zhou Yaling picked up the phone and dialed Huang Xiaohui’s line.

“Hello, who is this?”

“Huang, this is Zhou at the front desk. Someone is here for an interview with you.”

“Got it, I’ll be right there. Let them wait a moment.”

After hanging up, Zhou Yaling smiled at the newcomer and said, “Huang will be here shortly.”

“Thank you.”

After the newcomer stepped aside to wait, Zhou Yaling picked up Candy and placed her on the chair.

“No, Guoguo doesn’t want to sit.”

The moment she was lifted, Candy wriggled around, refusing to sit.

“I want to find brother.”

Once she was let down, the little one dashed outside the lobby.

Watching her run off, Zhou Yaling picked up the intercom and announced, “Attention security personnel, attention security personnel.”

“Please ensure that Candy does not run out of the main entrance.”

“Please ensure that Candy does not run out of the main entrance.”

The veteran stationed at the entrance heard Zhou Yaling’s announcement over the intercom, his eyes turned sharp.

Candy’s importance is evident from the company’s and building’s naming.

“East gate security on standby.”

“South gate security on standby.”

However, the well-behaved Candy didn’t have any intention of leaving the complex.

She simply made her way, with little steps, to the experimental building.

The elevator to the top floor was only accessible by Mo Jingchun.

But this didn’t pose a problem for the clever Candy.

“Brother, Guoguo wants to come up.”

Candy spoke into her smartwatch to contact her brother.
