Chapter 1601 A Perfect Arrangement
Melanie glanced over and chided Wynter in a haughty tone, "I've called you twice. Please pay attention next time. You can't behave like this during the interview. Otherwise, you might face issues in completing the formalities." As the other students listened in, their trust in the company grew, and their wariness began to fade.
Wynter noted their reaction as she approached Melanie, who silently sized her up before glancing at the red icon on the documents. Striding in her heels, Melanie led Wynter into the deepest room.
Wynter was aware that she had been targeted. There had been other students before her, yet Melanie called her out as soon as she arrived.
Inside the room was a middle-aged man, who gestured to Wynter to sit. He studied her and casually inquired, "Ms. Linden, are you able to adjust to foreign cuisines? What are your expectations for the institution or your plans as an exchange student?"
After posing those questions, the interviewer took a sip of his coffee.
With eagerness shining on her face, Wynter replied, "I believe I can adjust well to foreign cuisines. I'm also willing to work hard. Ideally, I hope to be admitted to the top institution to boost my grades. That way, I can secure better job opportunities and afford my grandpa's treatment fee."
Despite Wynter's enthusiastic response, the interviewer regarded her with a hint of disdain. He had heard similar answers from previous candidates, which only deepened his contempt for what he considered peasants.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
But since the higher-ups had specifically named "Eliana Linden", the interviewer had to tactfully retain her.
He continued asking, "You're the only one who can realize those dreams you mentioned. Here's my last question how much do you long for life abroad? Do you think you will return?"
Drawing from the praises she had read online about life overseas, Wynter swiftly replied, "I'm truly fascinated by life abroad. Setting aside everything else, the fresh air and beautiful people are reason enough! How I wish I could stay there forever!"
The interviewer flashed a smile and stated, "Very well. Congratulations on passing the interview, Ms. Linden. You can take a rest in the lounge to your left while you wait for the upcoming retest."
Wynter thanked him and timidly exited the room. As the interviewer observed her apparent ignorance, he felt more assured. Once the door closed behind Wynter, he nodded toward the surveillance camera above, signaling to proceed to the next phase.
From the outside, Nexus Corporation appeared completely ordinary. No one would have foreseen the malicious scheme taking place right under their nose.
To the public, shady companies often set up shop in unmanaged locations. In truth, companies that were involved in online scams, insurance fraud, or counterfeit medications were typically established in urban areas, where they could easily ensnare their victims.
On top of that, Wynter had discovered detection devices as soon as she arrived in Valen Village. Though she once visited the village before, her previous focus had been primarily on the western land. As she was unaware of the other areas, she failed to discover the detection devices.
If she hadn't quickly thrown her GPS out of the window just as the men opened it to smoke, she wouldn't have had the chance to cross the border.
