Duan Shu Tong went into work on Monday and was preparing to study Yalan's new skincare products, when Zhai Jun pulled him into the conference room. Zhai Jun said that there would be a candidate coming in for an interview and that Duan Shu Tong should be one of the interviewers.

Naturally, Duan Shu Tong was not about to refuse. It was definitely better to work with a team that he liked than to struggle on as one person.

After Spring Flower No. 2 made waves in the industry, some practitioners now knew that the Spring and Autumn Hall was actually a pharmaceutical company, and they sent their resumes when they saw that the Spring and Autumn Hall was recruiting relevant technical personnel.

The success of the Spring Flower series is enough for them to see the great potential of the Spring and Autumn Hall.

At 9:30 in the morning, the interviewing process officially started. The interviewers included Duan Shu Tong, Zhai Jun, and the director of the personnel department.

Although Zhai Jun was sitting in the main seat, he was actually there to accompany Duan Shu Tong. The final say was in Duan Shu Tong's hands.

A total of twelve people came to participate in the interviews. They each had unique personalities. Duan Shu Tong mainly asked technical questions, while Zhai Jun and the director of the personnel department asked some non-technical questions.

They interviewed eight people in a row, but they weren't particularly satisfied with any of the interviewees.

Come to think of it, the Spring and Autumn Hall might be popular, but the public's impression of them was that they were still a company focused on skin care products. The highly professional technicians would have already gone to those famous pharmaceutical companies. Who would jump ship to here?

Those who came to the Spring and Autumn Hall to apply for the job were probably those who did not get chosen by those big pharmaceutical companies.

Duan Shu Tong was not discouraged. He continued on to the ninth interviewee.

The door of the conference room was pushed open from the outside. Duan Shu Tong was looking down at the resume. He had yet to look up when he heard the director of the personnel department sucking in a breath.

Then he saw the official ID photo attached to the resume and he instantly understood why the lady beside him was so surprised.

[T/N: In some countries, it is required that you attach an official looking ID photo to your resume.]

Without a doubt, this person was a handsome one.

Duan Shu Tong raised his head and looked at the man who just came in.

Compared with the previous flirtatious temperament, when dressed in formal clothes, the man looked more serious and proper.

The man was obviously surprised when he saw Duan Shu Tong, and then he smiled, as if greeting someone he knew.

After being seated, he first introduced himself: "My name is Han Ling. I have been in the pharmaceutical chemistry industry for seven years, and I have abundant experience. I have published three papers in JMC."

The director of the personnel department did not speak. Zhai Jun was like a mascot, waiting for Duan Shu Tong to ask the questions.

Duan Shu Tong said: "Your resume is quite good. After graduation, you worked in Laikang Pharmaceutical for two years. After that, you went around working for many different companies, but none of them lasted long. I want to know why."

A technician that kept changing jobs would naturally not be the first choice.

Han Ling's eyebrow arched. He locked his eyes on Duan Shu Tong, and smiled calmly: "Because I am gay, ah."

Director of Personnel: !!!

Zhai Jun: ?!

Duan Shu Tong: "...So?"

Han Ling replied casually, "So I was fired."

He has never concealed his sexual orientation before, but this kind of sexual orientation was considered abnormal in the eyes of the public and something that could not be tolerated.

Worried about affecting the corporate image, those big companies fired him upon finding out his sexual orientation. He could understand that.

The three interviewers did not speak.

The corner of Han Ling's mouth twitched, perhaps in self-deprecation, perhaps in something else. Then he said directly, "If you mind, then just pretend that I never came."

The director of the personnel department and Zhai Jun both looked at Duan Shu Tong.

Han Ling was handsome, skilled, and had lots of work experience. These were all in line with the recruitment requirements. It was unfortunate that he was gay. Young Master Duan was most likely going to refuse him.

Who didn't know that Young Master Duan used to change girlfriends frequently?

Straight men want to stay away from gay guys, which was excusable.

Unexpectedly, Duan Shu Tong said: "The internship period is one month. If you agree, then sign the contract."

Han Ling suddenly smiled, "Thank you, Director Duan."

In addition to Han Ling, they hired two more people for the technical department. They were not as experienced as Han Ling, but they were honest and obedient and could be used as assistants.

As for Han Ling, he wasn't someone that could be treated as just an assistant.

After the interviews, it was time for lunch.

Han Ling approached Duan Shu Tong and said, "I don't start work until tomorrow, but can I freeload a meal from the dining hall today?"

Duan Shu Tong glanced at him, "It's up to you." He took a few steps, then looked back and reminded kindly, "The reason that you guys are starting work tomorrow is to give you guys some time to prepare. Don't you need to go back and make some arrangements?"

On Saturday, this man was still strolling around Hai City. On Monday, he was already in Shan Quan County. Who knew if he even found a place to stay yet?

Han Ling's foxy eyes curved. "Are you concerned for me?"
