Chapter 695 Annie Chalender
Chang Jing started, "A candidate has come for an interview, let's go take a look."
The three people entered the reception room, where a blonde beauty sat. She was described as a beauty because she looked very young, probably around twenty years old.
Upon seeing Qin Hao and the others enter, she stood up, smiled, and said in Xuan Country language, "Mr. Qin, hello, my name is Annie Chalender, from Xiyu Country."
Qin Hao and the others sat down and observed Annie Chalender.
He uncertainly asked, "Miss Annie, are you sure you are here for the interview?"
Annie nodded slightly, "Yes, I saw your company's recruitment requirements online. Are you still hiring?"
Qin Hao replied, "There is one open position. But, Miss Annie, have you graduated? Or are you still studying?"
Annie took out her resume, "Mr. Qin, here is my resume; you can have a look."
After speaking, she handed over the resume. Qin Hao took it and glanced through. His expression faltered, reading that she had completed her PhD at Yingqiao University of Xiyu Country at sixteen, received a postdoctoral degree from the North Federation's Provincial Polytechnic University at seventeen, and served as the Vice President at BC Investment Bank of Xiyu Country at eighteen.
During this period, she had invested in hundreds of companies, directly earning BC Bank profits amounting to several hundred billion Federation currency, and to this day, none of the companies and industries she invested in had recorded a loss.
This resume was extremely impressive. Qin Hao was deeply impressed upon seeing it.
He smiled and said, "Miss Annie, are you sure there is no mistake in this resume?"
Annie replied, "Doesn't your company have a verification system? If it's fake, it would naturally be detected."
Qin Hao spoke to an advanced wireless AI monitoring probe in the corner, "Xiaoxing, check this resume information."
Annie, curious, looked towards the corner at the intelligent monitoring probe. Could this be the Artificial Intelligence technology from Xinghai High-tech Company?
About seven or eight seconds later, Xiaoxing's voice rang out, "Master, the information is accurate. Annie was born in the Chancellor Duke aristocracy of Xiyu Country, naturally intelligent, and extraordinary. In Xiyu Country, she is hailed as a prodigious young lady."
Qin Hao was astounded, it was indeed true. It seemed her intelligence might not be much inferior to that of Chang Jing.
Annie, somewhat curious, asked, "Is this an Artificial Intelligence system?"
Qin Hao did not answer but instead asked, "Miss Annie, what is your purpose in joining Xinghai Company?"
Annie spoke directly, "For benefits, of course. I believe with my capabilities, I can relieve you of worries, Mr. Qin, and in return, you can provide what I desire."
Qin Hao then asked, "Now that Xinghai Company is globally blocked by the North Federation, why would you still choose to join Xinghai High-tech Company?"
Annie replied, "The trend towards an intelligent and advanced human society is the tendency of the times. Whoever resists this tide will ultimately be submerged in the long river of history, whether they are strong or weak. I am not optimistic about the North Federation's blockade, and the final outcome is likely to backfire."
Du Wanrou and Chang Jing nodded. They agreed with Annie's view, finding it insightful and unique.
Qin Hao continued asking, "If it were up to you to control Xinghai Company, what do you think should be the next step in its development?"
Annie thought for a moment and replied, "Using the Star Domain Network to penetrate the global market, controlling the global network, and then developing ourselves. The global blockade is also a chance for development for Xinghai Company, as we have more time to strengthen ourselves.
Once we boost our various production capacities, we can eventually supply the global market. For now, Mr. Qin, it's only necessary for you to consolidate Xinghai Company's position in the countries near Xuan Country."
While the North Federation had blocked Xinghai High-tech Company, it had not blocked Xingyu Network Communication Company.
Because the Star Domain Network was extensive, it had already spread through North and South Mizhou, the Western Continent, and most areas of the Eastern Continent.
Qin Hao declared, "Miss Annie, you have successfully passed the interview and can start work at any time. Welcome to Xinghai High-tech Company."
"Welcome, Miss Annie," Chang Jing and Du Wanrou also expressed their welcome.
Annie had a smile on her face, "Thank you, Mr. Qin, for giving me this opportunity. I will definitely not disappoint you. May I take a detailed look at the company this afternoon?"
Qin Hao replied, "Of course, that's a good idea. Mr. Chang will give you a tour."
Chang Jing, together with Du Wanrou and Annie, started touring around the company, while Qin Hao returned to his office and carefully reviewed the files of the Charlende family.
The Charlende family was an aristocratic ducal family from Xiyu Country with a very high status, second only to the royal nobility of Xiyu Country.
BC Investment Bank was an enterprise owned by the Charlende family and was undeniably a business giant in the Western Continent.
Because of the relationship between the Innsil family and Xinghai Company, old-established families like the Charlende had been greatly shaken. If they did not take countermeasures soon, they would be completely edged out by the Innsil and You Tai families.
Annie was likely representing those old-established aristocratic families.
Moreover, Qin Hao did not want to see the You Tai family monopolizing the Western Continent. That would not be good for him.
Currently, the Northern Federation had imposed a global blockade on Xuan Country. Many powers were still observing, especially in the Western Continent, where they had yet to react.
At around five in the afternoon, Qin Hao and Du Wanrou returned to Haoting Sea View Villa District.
As they entered the home, Zhao Yuying, Fan Ruobing, Han Meng, and Qiao'er were all present.
"Aunt Wan Rou, you're back!" Qiao'er saw Du Wanrou and hurried over.
With a smile on her face, Du Wanrou asked, "Did you miss Aunt Wan Rou?"
"I did," Qiao'er giggled in response.
Zhao Yuying also greeted her, "Wan Rou's back, come have a seat."
The group settled on the sofa, and Qin Hao introduced them to each other, "This is Ruobing."
Fan Ruobing, who was not very good at verbal communication, nodded slightly towards Du Wanrou as a greeting.
After dinner, they watched TV for a while before Qin Hao and Du Wanrou retired to the master bedroom on the second floor.
...
In the Northern Federation, after Du Wanrou was rescued, those who had quickly reported to their superiors recounted the details of the incident.
After an afternoon of analysis, the Northern Federation confirmed that Xuan Country possessed a mysterious aircraft capable of evading radar detection and moving at high speeds.
The mysterious aircraft from Lvcao Country that rescued Du Wanrou was instigated by Qin Hao.
Was this mysterious aircraft developed by Qin Hao?
It must have been him; Xuan Country's technology could not have developed such a formidable device otherwise.
If such a device were applied to military purposes, it would be truly terrifying. Did Xuan Country already possess this mysterious warplane?
Considering these implications, the upper echelon of the Northern Federation furrowed their brows, realizing they needed to properly verify this situation.
...
In the bedroom, Du Wanrou's cheek flushed pink as she wrapped her arms around Qin Hao's neck...
[I will go shopping in the afternoon, hurry up and write something light this morning, just a light scolding]
