Chapter 1316: Chapter 583: Hanging Yourself More Skillfully Feels Comfortable

"Shout loudly to your brother~ say Daddy loves you~ even if you escape with the alcohol and lighter, Daddy will still love you~ whether you’re silly or crazy~ drool all over your shoes~ I’ll still tolerate you like a father~"

It’s already the next day, Wednesday, and Lin Li is driving Wu Min’s car to work at the auto repair shop.

Today they do need to go to Chen Yu Ying’s house with everyone, but that’s an afternoon thing, so he can still come here in the morning for his part-time job and complete his task progress.

It’s the eighth day of the Chinese New Year, and most working folks have already left the holidays behind, returning to their posts. The traffic this morning is noticeably higher than the past few days.

Looking at everyone’s Sima-faces on the road, Lin Li feels quite relieved.

People should be glad this year isn’t the year of the horse.

Because if it were the year of the horse, then all vacations would become "horse vacations," immediately turning everyone more indulgent and nostalgic, leading to even more reluctance and sadness today.

Arriving at the auto repair shop.

Still relatively early, the shop is in a state of both open and not open—the shutter door is halfway up.

Someone seems to be pasting small advertisements on the shutter door.

"Dude, did you manage to become an apprentice and start working today?" A few steps closer, you can see from the side that the person is actually tearing off the ads—a familiar face from the other day’s interview, the dropout guy.

"It’s Brother Lin Li, yes, I got the position." The dropout guy nodded when he saw it was Lin Li, "I came to work yesterday afternoon, but Brother, you weren’t here then. I’m basically following Master Liu now; he’s responsible for guiding me."

This auto repair shop is quite spacious, and there are more people than just Sister Li and Liu Men. Ideally, Lin Li should also be under Liu Men’s guidance, and the dropout guy should be assigned to other masters.

But compared to Liu Men, the other repair masters are older, more reserved, and not quite suitable. Furthermore, Lin Li doesn’t actually need Liu Men to be too distracted, so Sister Li simply assigned the dropout guy to him.

"Sounds good," Lin Li nodded with a smile as he walked into the shop. While changing into his vest, he glanced around and, not seeing more familiar faces, curiously asked, "Was it just you who got hired?"

"Yeah, apparently they hired one in the morning too, but for our afternoon session, it was really just me. Probably because I’m younger.

Brother, do you remember that senior guy from the big company? When he got rejected yesterday, he specifically came to ask about my result. Man, it was so awkward, I didn’t even know what to say."

The dropout guy sighed.

"That just means you all don’t quite understand the tricks of interviewing. Actually, there’s a way for all of you to get hired." Lin Li casually responded while walking to the front desk and opening the computer to check the appointment list for the day.

From the notes on the appointment list, Lin Li learned that the dropout guy’s name is Wei Shuyun, quite a nice name.

"Oh? Brother, what tricks? Can you share them?" Wei Shuyun immediately leaned in with curiosity.

Even though he has found a job now, who can be sure he will do this forever? The fastest way to get promoted and get a raise is never to wait until you’re a senior needing others’ respect, but to change jobs.

Moreover, being a car repair apprentice wasn’t his original dream; Wei Shuyun actually once dreamed of becoming an actor.

But after a few days as an extra, he couldn’t take it.

In fact, the treatment for extras was quite good, 160 a day, with bonuses for good performance, plus they were provided with meals and housing. It wasn’t hard to get chosen, as they hired 100 people at a time, no gender limitations.

The script was called "My Wonderful Life at the Electronics Factory."

The story was about young men and women dedicated to working in an electronics factory and how they trained hard, overcame numerous challenges, earned their first substantial income, and found love on the assembly line.

But after three days as an extra, Wei Shuyun was too exhausted to continue.

The screws never stopped, the director never called cut, preaching some nonsense about how, as a mentor named Lü said, life has no rehearsals, every day is live.

"Brother, tell me please."

Seeing his keen question, Lin Li chose not to keep it under wraps and decided to share freely:

"This is an experience I’ve gathered from history and TV shows."

"If you want to jump ship in the future, you don’t need to view your interview peers as competitors; instead, you can work together."

"You just need to invite a few of them to take the interviewer into a little black room, and then treat him well with a tiger chair, chili water, and a water-soaked whip. If all goes well, the interviewer will shout the words you’ve been waiting to hear, ’Hired, hired, I hire them all.’"

Wei Shuyun: "..."

"Brother... isn’t this torture for a forced confession? Seems like you’re not hiring employees, huh?" Wei Shuyun’s cheeks twitched a bit.

"It’s the same, the result is good."

"What’s good about that! And what if the HR has a backbone and refuses to hire no matter what?"

"According to the principle of ’silence is golden,’ if HR refuses to confess in the black room, it can be seen as bribery behavior. You can report him to his company, and then the company will replace HR... keep replacing and replacing, you’ll eventually get one without a backbone, won’t you?"

"Damn, Brother, can you actually link your story back together?!"

"Wei, enough chit-chat, go to the car wash area, adjust the car wash machine with Brother Wang, and organize the towel and sponge. Did you memorize the safety protocol I told you to? I’ll quiz you on it later."
