Chapter 13: He did it on purpose

The next day, Hazel got up early because she had to report to Global.

Regardless of whether Jack was happy or not, since he wanted her to go and it was Grandpa’s wish, she couldn’t refuse. Although Jack had promised to help Brook, the matter of Brook had not yet been resolved.

In recent years, Global business empire had expanded several times in size. Since taking over Global, Jack had been on the list of the richest people every year on the global list.

Global had a newly built office building that Jack had taken over. It was located in the busiest downtown area of A city, with a total of three buildings . The middle one was the tallest, and from a distance, it looked like an indestructible pyramid.

When Hazel arrived at the personnel department of Global, she was received by a woman who was about forty years old. She had her hair tied up in a simple bun and wore a pair of black-framed glasses on her nose. She looked shrewd and capable, but a little harsh. There was a sign on her desk that read “Personnel manager Gloria”.

“You’re Hazel right?” Gloria stared at Hazel and spoke coldly, “I already know that you’re here to come to Global.”

Hazel nodded and greeted her politely, “Hello.” She picked up her resume next to her and said, “This is..”

Before she could finish her sentence, Gloria interrupted her and said directly, “You’re going to the cleaning department, and they will arrange work for you.”

Hazel was surprised and couldn’t help but ask, “The cleaning department?”

“What’s wrong?” Gloria was a little unhappy, “Do you look down on the cleaning department?”

“I didn’t mean that,” Hazel shook her head , “It’s just that my major....”

“You’re a person with no work experience, and it’s already good enough for you to come to Global. What else do you want? Gloria glanced at her with disdain, “Global has always been a place where the capable ones are on top. Don’t think that you can get what you want just because you have connections. Let me make it clear , Global never plays the game of connections, and it was also Assistant Peter who personally told me to tell that you should start from the lowest level. I’m just following his instructions.”

Assistant Peter?

Hazel was stunned for a moment, and then she understood.

Assistant Peter was Jack’s special assistant. He could say such things, who else could it be if not instructed by Jack? Otherwise, how would he know that she would come to Global today?

It seemed that Jack really hated her.

“Of course, if you don’t accept it, the door is over there.”

Hazel took a deep breath and the raised a polite smile. “I understand, I will go.”

After leaving the personnel department, Hazel took some time to find the location of the cleaning department.

The cleaning department was not large, looking somewhat simple.

When Hazel entered, the supervisor Donald was slowly walking around the open space with a teapot in his hand. There was also a pretty woman holding a phone and browsing.

When Donald saw Hazel, his eyes lit up. He cleared his throat and asked, “New here?”

“Yes,” Hazel nodded.

The young woman glanced at Hazel, sneered, and continued to look at her phone.

“What’s your name?” Donald’s attitude was still decent.

“Hazel.”

The woman snorted lightly, glared at Hazel with displeasure, and continued to look at her phone.

Hazel noticed it, but pretended not to see it.

Donald thought for a while, couldn’t help but ask. “You’re so young, why did you come to the cleaning department?”

“..” Hazel fell silent.

If she could, she didn’t want to come here. It’s not that she looked down on this department, but she had never done this kind of work since she was born. This was Jack’s intention to embarrass her.

Seeing that she hadn’t answered for a long time, Donald laughed awkwardly, “hehe, young people should experience life more. Maybe you’ll like it later. Although Global is big, the workload is not that much. As long as you do your job well, everything will be fine.”

“I understand.”

“Well, today is your first day at work, and they’re all out doing their jobs,” Donald handed her a list, “this is the daily cleaning project you’re responsible for. You can familiarize yourself with it today, and tomorrow you’ll officially start working with them. Oh, and there’s at three month probation period, and you’ll have all the benefits you’re entitled to after you become a regular employee.”

“Okay”

Hazel spent the whole morning in the cleaning department, looking at the list given by Donald. Actually, she had a good memory and already memorized everything on it. As a newcomer, she didn’t dare to wander around, especially since a woman named Favor seemed to have a somewhat arrogant attitude towards her, so she could only stay here obediently.

It was almost noon, and the cleaning staff who had gone out to work earlier had all returned.

Next to Hazel was a young and lovely girl who was very enthusiastic. During lunch time, she pulled Hazel to the company cafeteria and talked about some legendary events that had happened in Global over the past few years.

“Hazel, the food in Global’s cafeteria is pretty good, isn’t it. Martha pointed to the food on her plate. “I came here because of the good treatment and the great food. Although I only do cleaning work, I’m really satisfied.”

Hazel looked at the girl next to her and couldn’t help feeling envious of her. She was warm, and very simple. Such people lived easily.

“well, you should eat more,” Hazel said with a smile.

“You should eat too”

Just as Hazel picked up her chopsticks, the cafeteria, which had been lively, suddenly became quiet.

Martha struggled and choked to swallow the food in her mouth, then nudged Hazel and whispered, “the CEO is here.”

Hazel was taken aback and looked towards the entrance of the cafeteria. Sure enough, she saw Jack walking towards them with Peter and several other men behind him.

“Let me tell you,” Martha whispered to Hazel, “The one in front is the CEO of Global, Jack. He’s very capable, and also very cool and handsome, isn’t he? The younger one behind him is his assistant, and the others are in charge of the cafeteria finance, and logistic department.”

Hazel hung her head and tightly gripped her chopstick in her hand, feeling a bitter smile forming in her heart. It was only her first day at the company, and they had already “bumped into” the CEO

“The CEO is not only capable but wealthy, but also handsome. Just one glance at him and I feel like I’ve hit the jackpot. But I’ve been at Global for two years and only seen the CEO twice. Hazel, you’re so lucky too have seen him on your first day at work.
