Chapter 158 Assigned to the Project Department
Mo Ze took Shen Nian to the hot pot restaurant near the apartment that they had visited before.
The hot pot restaurant wasn't very big, but it was clean and quiet because it only had private rooms, not dine-in service.
The two of them were lucky; when they arrived, there was a private room available for two, so they didn't have to wait.
A new sour soup base was available, and Shen Nian said she wanted to try it. Luckily, it wasn't spicy, so the uncle gave in and let her have hot pot. She couldn't go too far, so she ordered a spicy base instead.
After ordering the food and waiting for it to be served, Mo Ze asked her for a glass of warm water first, saying, "You can't drink anything cold tonight."
"Okay," Shen Nian replied with a flattering smile.
Mo Ze sighed helplessly, reached out and tapped the tip of her nose, his expression full of affection.
The hot pot broth and vegetables were served together, and the rich, sour aroma made my stomach rumble.
The waiter suggested that Shen Nian could have a bowl of soup first. She ordered one, took a sip, found it very appetizing, and then drank half a bowl in one go.
Moze raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is it good?"
Shen Nian nodded repeatedly, "Mmm, it tastes good."
"Let me try it." Mo Ze said, picking up the half-bowl of soup that Shen Nian had left and drinking it.
Shen Nian wanted to stop him, but Mo Ze had already brought the food to his lips.
"Hmm, not bad~"
He even gave a review after finishing the drink.
Shen Nian pointed to the bowl in Mo Ze's hand, "...Uncle, that's the one I drank from."
Moze glanced at the small bowl in his hand. "Hmm, that's why it tastes good."
Shen Nian, “…”
Uncle, is it appropriate for you to keep flirting with people like this?
The weather is still a bit chilly, so eating a steaming hot pot is really refreshing.
While eating, Shen Nian shared what had happened at the company over the past two days.
Mo Ze listened patiently, occasionally putting some vegetables in her bowl.
Shen Nian ate a lot, probably because the sour taste was really appetizing. She ate more than usual. Mo Ze was still very disciplined and didn't eat too much at night.
After finishing her meal, she was already thinking about the next one, saying, "I'll order this sour soup base again next time I come, it's so delicious."
"Okay," Moze replied with a smile.
Shen Nian sometimes even wondered if the uncle would agree to say "okay" if she asked for the stars in the sky.
Sometimes she doubts and fears that the happiness before her is a fragile bubble that might disappear with the slightest touch.
But the older man was truly there in front of her.
She can see it and touch it.
This is not a bubble.

The next day was still training.
Shen Nian entered the conference room at roughly the same time as before.
People arrived a little early today; when she arrived, half the people were already there.
After a while, the others also came in one after another.
Fang Wenwen came with Han Jun again. The two were chatting and laughing. I don't know what Han Jun said, but Fang Wenwen shyly raised her hand and punched him. The two of them were openly flirting, and they even changed their seats to sit next to each other.
The morning session was the last training session for the project team, but it wasn't Moze who came personally; it was the project manager who gave the lecture.
After the training, the HR department informed us that there would be a training test in the afternoon. Then, based on the test results and everyone's resume information, we would determine the internship departments, and finally, someone would be arranged to lead everyone to their respective departments to report for duty.
Upon hearing that there would be a training test, everyone immediately became a little nervous and began to look through their training notes from the past two days.
Li Luxi sighed and exclaimed, "It's over, it's over! What's the point of the test? I only wrote down a little bit of the content in my notes. I was so sleepy yesterday that I didn't listen carefully to anything they said."
Then, grabbing Shen Nian, she said in a coquettish tone, "My little cutie Nian Nian, you have to save me."
Shen Nian handed her her notebook, saying, "I don't know what the test will be about, but you can borrow my notebook to look at it."
Li Luxi opened Shen Nian's notebook; the neat and beautiful handwriting contained several pages of notes.
She silently gave Shen Nian a thumbs up, "Amazing!"
Then she started cramming, skipping lunch and only having Shen Nian bring her a bread and a cup of coffee from the cafeteria.
The afternoon tests started promptly at 1:30.
The test content did include some of the training material, but it focused more on the ideas and approaches to solution design and planning. These open-ended questions had no standard answers; it depended on each person's thinking and abilities.
Shen Nian lowered her head and diligently wrote on the test paper, while Li Luxi next to her occasionally let out a sigh.
Chen Ran was the first to hand in her paper, followed by Xia Yao, the girl who didn't chat much with everyone, then Han Jun, the rich second-generation. Shen Nian was the fourth to hand in her paper, and she checked it again before taking it up.
Li Luxi finally finished writing after procrastinating for a while.
The HR department graded the exam papers and announced the time when everyone would be assigned to their respective departments. Everyone sat in the meeting room waiting.
About an hour later, the HR director came in with his team.
She was holding a list, which should be the confirmed list.
The HR director smiled and glanced at everyone, then asked, "Is everyone eager to know what's on this piece of paper I'm holding?"
Everyone smiled and nodded.
The HR director didn't beat around the bush and directly announced the internship departments that everyone had finally been assigned.
A man and a woman went to the investment department; these two, both finance majors, were a good match.
Another boy went to the marketing department, and another boy went to the design department.
Han Jun was assigned to the External Relations Department, Li Luxi was assigned to the Entertainment Department, and in the end, Shen Nian, Chen Ran, Xia Yao, and Fang Wenwen were left.
The HR director first mentioned Xia Yao's internship department, which was in the administration department, while the remaining three, including Shen Nian, were in the project department.
Xia Yao was the first to stand up and offer her opinion.
"Mr. Zhang, why was I assigned to the administration department? My major was marketing, and I wanted to work in the marketing department."
The HR director smiled and looked at her, "The administration department has the most layoffs in the entire company. It's similar to the marketing department in that it can help you develop your interpersonal skills. I think you can give it a try first."
At this moment, Fang Wenwen raised her hand and stood up, "President Zhang, I can go to the administration department..."
The HR director put the list on the table and said, "There may be some misunderstandings about the internship department arrangements. This is a notification, not a negotiation. Of course, if you are not satisfied with the internship department, you can refuse this internship opportunity."
After all, he is the department director. When he gets serious, his aura is there, he is authoritative and confident.
Everyone fell silent.
Regardless of which department you intern in, having an internship certificate from JK Group gives you a significant advantage when looking for a job, and no one would be foolish enough to give up this opportunity.
After the assignments were completed, the HR colleagues took them to their respective departments to report for duty.
Li Luxi is very satisfied with her internship department. She went to the entertainment department and can see her idols every day. She is very much looking forward to it.
Shen Nian, Chen Ran, and Fang Wenwen were personally led to the project department by the HR director.
Those in the project team who had met Shen Nian before were all quite happy to see her come for her internship and greeted her warmly.
Fang Wenwen rolled her eyes at Shen Nian with disdain and muttered, "Hmph, she really got in through connections."
