A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 1423 Mufan Group's Hiring Exercise

"The office?" muttered Ye Fan to himself.

Ye Fan did not waste time with the guard and headed to the office instead.

It made sense. Everyone should be at work right now.

His mother would have arrived at the office early in the morning and thrown herself right into the middle of work.

"Fine, I'll look for her at the office."

In the end, Ye Fan did not step into the house at all.

Regardless how grand the house was, the only thing that Ye Fan missed about it was his mother.

Compared to seeing the rest of the family, Ye Fan was more eager to see his own mother.

He soon arrived at the Fenghai branch of the Mufan Group.

Something seemed to be going on at the

Mufan Group today.

Ye Fan was greeted by the sight of a crowd waiting outside the building when he arrived.

They were young men and women who looked as if they had just graduated from college.

The men were dressed in suits, their shoes polished and shining and their hair styled neatly. They looked as if they were dressed for a matchmaking session. The women were dressed in similar attire meant for the office. In pencil skirts, white shirts and their ties, they looked sharp and competent.

Because of the way they were dressed and the way Ye Fan was dressed, the latter immediately caught everyone's eye when he appeared.

"Is he still dreaming? Is this what he's wearing to his interview? He's not even in a suit! He looks like he's here to interview for the position of the delivery boy."

The looks that many of them directed at Ye Fan were filled with scorn and mockery.

It made sense that his casual attire would attract the attention of others, considering that they were standing in the lobby of a grand office building.

While everyone was secretly sneering at Ye Fan, a young woman stepped forward and headed towards Ye Fan.

"Are you here for the hiring exercise too?" The young woman was pretty. You could see her dimples when she smiled. It was a dazzling smile filled with warmth and friendliness. "Well, actually..."

Ye Fan smiled. He wanted to tell her that he wasn't here for the hiring exercise. He didn't need to be hired, because the company belonged to him. He was just here to see his mother. The words got stuck in his throat and never left his lips.

They were barely acquaintances. There wasn't any point in trying to explain why he was here.

After all, she probably wouldn't believe him.

The young woman seemed to have mistaken the look on his face though.

She gave him a comforting smile.

"Don't worry about what the others think about you. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. So what if you're not in a suit? It's not a big deal. You know what? We can wait for my friend to be done with his interview and get him to lend you his clothes. It must be your first interview. People aren't always well prepared for their first interview, after all. I have a classmate who had his pants on the wrong way during his first interview. Everyone in our dormitory laughed at him so hard when we found out. Oh, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Lin Yu-Han. I graduated from Jiangdong University. How about you?"

Lin Yu-Han was clearly the chatty sort. She had struck up an easy conversation with Ye Fan even though they had been strangers a moment ago.

But her friendliness wasn't the trait that had earned his admiration. It was her kindness and warmth.

During their brief conversation, Ye Fan had sensed the goodness and kindness that had emanated from the young woman. She had been a stark contrast to the mocking and condescending crowd. It was rare to find such a purehearted and kind lady in this fiercely materialistic and capitalistic world today.

"I'm Ye Fan," he replied easily to her question.

"Ye Fan?" Lin Yu-Han repeated his name once, then smiled. "Your last name is Ye too. What a coincidence! Did you know? I heard that the boss of the Mufan Group shares that last name too. You might not even have to pass the interview. They may make you an exception and hire you on the spot when they find out that you share his last name."

She laughed softly.

"Alright, I'm not going to tease you anymore. We should rely on our own abilities when it comes to finding work. We should do our homework, observe how our seniors perform during their interviews and learn the techniques and strategies that they use. That's how we improve our chances of getting hired. I'm assuming from the way you're dressed that you didn't do any homework before you came for the hiring exercise, did you?"

Lin Yu-Han gave him a look.

Ye Fan smiled and, as Lin Yu-Han had expected, shook his head.

Lin Yu-Han slapped her palm against her forehead in exasperation. "You're really something. You're just wasting your time coming for the interview without doing your homework. Alright, I'm going to help you out here. Listen, I'm going to teach you a few easy tricks that you can use for the interview. First impressions count for a great deal during an interview. You have to pay attention to how you dress. You don't have to look rich. You simply have to look sharp and clean. Another thing..."

Lin Yu-Han went on tirelessly as she shared with Ye Fan the lessons that she had learned from multiple rounds of interviews.

Ye Fan couldn't bear to interrupt her. So, he simply listened quietly to everything that she had to say.

"Yu-Han, I've been looking for you all day. Why are you here? Why are you giving this punk lessons? Look at his shabby clothes. He probably thinks he's not going to pass the interview anyway. Why are you wasting your time on him? You can talk to me if you want someone to talk to."

A young man approached them suddenly. He was dressed in a white suit and had on a pair of fashionable, square-rimmed glasses. His hair was permed and lightly curled. He looked like extremely well- dressed scum.

He was Yang Xiao, Lin Yu-Han's university classmate.

Hints of desire and adoration flashed across his eyes as he stared at Lin Yu-Han.

She ignored him completely and seemed oblivious to what he had said though. Instead, Lin Yu-Han continued sharing her interview tips with Ye Fan patiently.

Lin Yu-Han's complete disregard for Yang Xiao both embarrassed and angered him.

But he wasn't mad at Lin Yu-Han. He was mad at Ye Fan.

"Look at that poor bastard, believing that he's got a chance to land a job at Mufan Group. He must be dreaming! I'm going to let him know the cruel realities of life." Yang Xiao's eyes turned cold while his fists hidden in his sleeves tightened.

"Yang Xiao, you're next." The person in charge of the hiring exercise called Yang Xiao's name then.

Yang Xiao straightened his tie, then looked

at Lin Yu-Han and smiled confidently. "Yu-Han, I'm up next. I'll be outside waiting for you when it's your turn."

He winked at Lin Yu-Han, then strode into the room confidently.

"What a narcissist. Ye Fan, ignore him." Lin Yu-Han said frostily before continuing her lesson with Ye Fan. She didn't seem to like Yang Xiao at all.
