Chapter 466
The security guard held Matias’s arm and then pointed inside the gate, saying, “Please come in!”
Matias was surprised. He looked at Nara in confusion, then turned back to the security guard, looking puzzled. “Huh?”
The security guard had a warm smile on his face. “Please come in. Do you know the way to the HR department? Wait a moment. I’ll lock the door and take you there!”
Neither Matias nor Nara could understand the meaning of that text message, but the security guard could! It was from Nora herself!
Nora had always been the legend of the research institute, and everyone was working on projects remotely controlled by Nora. Nora had never appeared in person but was able to manage the company in perfect order, and whenever there were technical issues, handing them to Nora always resulted in great solutions!
The security guard had never seen Nora, but from the dean, he had seen her text message replies! Therefore, he recognized at a glance that the person who had sent the message to Nara was none other than Nora herself.
As the security guard walked Matias and Nara toward the research institute, he couldn’t help but observe Nara closely, wondering to himself, “Who exactly is this person? Nora personally sent her a message!”
Not far from the gate, the person who had been following the siblings was dumbfounded.
Over the phone, Jackson was proudly asking, “How did it go? Were they kicked out?”
“…They, they…” the person stammered. “They were warmly… welcomed inside.”
Jackson was dumbfounded. He couldn’t help but ask, “What did you say?”
The lackey continued, “It’s true. They were warmly welcomed inside.”
Jackson said, “You must be blind! Nora Research Institute is the dream of all pharmaceutical engineers. Nara is just a university student. How could she get inside?”
Nara was also contemplating this question. She quietly observed her surroundings. The institute was a series of bungalows on prime real estate in Clance, indicating the institute’s financial strength. The architecture was all of a traditional style. There were pavilions, pagodas, artificial hills, and flowing water. There was even a small park. Working here would be so enjoyable. The place where the researchers actually worked was far from the street, so it was very quiet. There was no traffic noise.
As Nara surveyed her surroundings, she marveled at what she saw. What a fortunate thing it would be to work here!
While thinking of this, she was led by the security guard into the HR department. Pushing open the door, the security guard invited the two inside. Nara nervously clutched the corner of her clothes and then sat down awkwardly opposite the HR staff. Matias was even more at a loss.
Although the Freeman Sect had a similar environment, it was full of rough men practicing martial arts every day. They had never seen such brilliant scholars. Matias had always thought of themselves as martial practitioners, and these scholars seemed the most impressive. He even felt he was too burly and out of place standing in this room.
The HR staff was looking through Nara’s resume and chuckled after reading it. “Nara, is it? As a university student, I see you’re pretty good with applied chemistry, and you’ve done well in biomedicine as well. Which of these two departments would you like to intern in?”
Nara was perplexed. What, just like that, straight to the point?
She hesitated, then gestured with her hands while Matias translated for her. “She says, can she choose either one?… I’m sorry, Nara doesn’t know what she’s doing. She’ll go wherever you need her to go.”
The HR personnel then smiled and said, “How about biomedicine? That might involve less interaction, which is more suitable for her.”
Nara nodded frantically! That was her favorite field.
She immediately stood up, ready to leave, but the staff stopped her. “Going somewhere? We haven’t discussed your salary yet!”
Nara was perplexed.
The HR staff pondered for a moment. “We’ve never hired an intern before, so how about this? Tell me your expectations. As long as it’s not too outrageous, we’ll accept it.”
Nara thought for a moment and slowly raised two fingers. Interns usually had low wages, just a little subsidy for living expenses. Her classmates interning at hospitals made about three hundred a month. She was asking for two hundred… that shouldn’t be too much, right?
She saw the HR staff frown, and she hesitated, raising one finger instead. A hundred should be alright.
The HR staff, however, seemed confused. “Are you asking for an annual salary of a million or a monthly wage? I’m not quite sure what you mean.”
Nara was dumbfounded. They weren’t talking in the same order of magnitude. She quickly gestured with her hands, shaking her head.
Matias was dumbfounded as he spoke for her. “She means a hundred.”
The HR staff paused for a moment. “An annual salary of a hundred? It’s not impossible, but I would need to get approval from the management for that salary.”
Nara was confused. Did they need approval for an annual salary of a hundred dollars? What the hell was that? Was it too low?
While she was thinking, Matias had come to a realization, and he was completely dumbfounded. “When you said a hundred, what’s the exact figure?”
The HR staff was equally perplexed. “Aren’t we talking in millions? Many staff here have an annual salary of six million, although usually they are long-term employees. We’ve never seen that much for an intern; newcomers usually start at two million.”
Matias was shocked. He immediately gestured, “We’re not talking about millions! She meant a hundred dollars a month!”
The HR staff was dumbfounded. She seemed troubled and finally said, “We’ve never had such a low figure; how about a monthly salary of sixty thousand?”
Nara quickly gestured with her hands.
The HR staff sighed, “Alright then, eight thousand a month! Can you accept that?”
Nara wanted to gesture again, but the HR staff said, “Any lower won’t work. We won’t be able to hire you then!”
Nara was speechless.
She walked out of the HR department with a look of complete bewilderment, and as soon as she stepped out, her phone began to vibrate wildly. It was all messages from her classmates.
“Nara, did you really go to Nora Research Institute?”
“How was the interview?”
