Chapter 421

Patrick, who seemed to have known that she was having a bad day, picked up the phone.

"Wait for me in Gordon Hotel.I'll be there in 30 minutes..."

Sure enough, they didn't find a job today.

What's worse, the two of them spent a lot of money on a meal.

Crystal was so embarrassed when she came across her former colleagues at IP&G.

All of them were in short black uniform skirts and came to talk to Crystal as soon as they saw her since
she had always been an easy-going person in the company.

They asked where she was working now in a little bit condescending tone.

"We've been transferred to the sales department recently.It's so busy there! We barely have the time to
buy takeout here.Crystal, where are you working now?"

Crystal smiled awkwardly.

"Actually, I'm still looking for a job...Capable people are always busy.You must be paid better in the
sales department."

"Our company is recruiting but, you know, big groups are usually very picky about applicants.Our
company prefers hiring talented graduates and then training them slowly.Besides them, only those who
are already successful in the field can be hired.As for those who tried to get a job here by connections,
they should give up now..."

"Yes, we have strict rules here.The personnel department held a meeting the day before yesterday to
emphasize that all the procedures of recruitment must meet the regulation..."



Ignoring Crystal's small talk with her former colleagues, Christina, who was in a bad mood, was busy
eating.

"Well, the attitudes of those who use their connections to get a job are different.I heard that the
Secretarial Office hired someone weeks ago, who simply used Lucy as her full name in her resume..."

"Be careful what you say.I heard that she was hired by Mr.Hopkins personally.We can't afford to offend
someone like that."

Crystal had been hoping that these women would leave soon, but what they just said jealously caught
her attention.

Lucy must have been a false name.

Christina suddenly looked up at them.

"Lucy?"

Only then did these women who were standing beside their table notice how beautiful Christina was.

They couldn't help but hold their breath for a second, surprised by Christina's noble and elegant
temperament.

After a closer look, they found her a little familiar.

"Christina, I heard you were having difficulty finding a job."

An excited voice came from behind.

It was Charles.



He had always been an idle, rich young man who didn't show much interest in other people's lives, but
he rushed here immediately when he heard that Christina had met with setbacks.

Christina turned around, ignoring him deliberately.

All the employees of IP&G knew that Charles was good friends with Mr.Hopkins.

Those women greeted him as soon as they recognized him, "Nice to see you here, Mr.Shepherd"

Charles replied with a smile.

Seeing that they were buying takeout, he said generously, "You must be working hard and don't have
the time for lunch until now.Anything else you want to eat? My treat.I'm friends with the owner here."

These women smiled demurely at Charles while they were actually shouting in excitement deep in their
hearts.

"Thank you, Mr.Shepherd."

Christina, on the other hand, rolled her eyes at Charles' gloating smile.

"You came to pay for me? Where's Patrick?"

"This is the first day you look for a job.How can your husband stay calm and relaxed? He sent me here
to take care of you..."

Charles smiled.

"Well, how about me get you a job? I think the work of the top management of IP&G is perfect for you."

Those women were all shocked to hear this, but none of them dared to ask about the identity of
Christina.



They were already crossing the line by not leaving immediately after Charles had bought them food.

They had just bragged about how strict the rules of IP&G were.

Charles’ words just now were like a slap in their faces.

What was this woman's background? She looked a little familiar.

These women left the hotel timidly.

Just as they intended to return for more gossip, they bumped into their boss at the entrance of the
hotel.

They stammered nervously in shock, "Mr.Hopkins."

Patrick came here in a hurry.

He nodded slightly at these employees of him and then strode into the restaurant directly.

The women looked at his back.

"Who is Mr.Hopkins in such a hurry to see?"

Seeing that Patrick taking the seat next to Christina naturally, one of them shouted in shock, "I...I know
who she is!"

"Mr.Hopkins got married last year without ceremony with, let me see, Miss Dickens from C City.She
must be Mrs.Hopkins!"

All of them widened their eyes to see Christina clearly.

"Crystal seems to be close to her."



"When did she know these people? I can’t believe she didn't tell us any of this! At least we treated her
as a friend."

"Yes! I didn't expect Crystal to lie to us...I won't help her if she needs me in the future."

They left indignantly with their takeout.

"Is Chandler okay with you looking for a job by yourself?"

Charles ordered a table of delicious food to comfort Christina.

When they were waiting for the food to be served, he chatted with Crystal, "Didn't he ask you to work in
his company?"

Christina, who had been irritated by his words, answered quickly in anger, "What do you mean? Do you
think we are abandoned by society and can't find a job by ourselves?"

"Well, weren't you just turned down by a small company? Christina, you have every right to use your
connections to get yourself a job.There's no need to feel embarrassed..."

Charles teased her.

Crystal agreed with Christina, "It's true we can't find a job as easily as graduates do, but I'm sure there
will be someone who sees our talents.We're like treasures waiting to be discovered"

Charles didn't think they were treasures at all.

They were more like trouble in his opinion, especially Christina.

Patrick didn't say much.He was busying feeding Christina with dishes he had specially chosen which
were easy to digest.He wasn't going to interfere with her job hunting for the time being.



For seven days in a row, Christina left home early and returned late.

She now had a deep understanding of what people with jobs were suffering every day.

Instead of looking for a job.

she was begging for it.

She felt an urge to slap the table and leave every time she faced those arrogant interviewers.

Unfortunately, she couldn't.

After these days’ experience, she became much calmer than before.

"What was your major in college?"

Even Senior Mr.Hopkins could see her tiredness.

"Clinical medicine."

The old man thought for a moment and said, "If you want to intern in the hospital, we can contact..."

"She's not going to work at the hospital."

Patrick was the first to object.

The working hours at the hospital were too long.He wasn't happy with that.

"Don't worry about me.I'll definitely find a suitable job..."

Christina was confident that she would find a job by herself and had emphasized that no one should
interfere with this.



However, Patrick still contacted Chandler secretly.

He wanted to start a company for Christina which would take over some projects from the head
company as its business.

"You're building a small vault for them"

Chandler smiled when he this.

This was actually a good idea.

If anything bad happened to Christina at the company that hired her, Patrick would definitely give the
company a hard time.

Patrick and Chandler were hoping to surprise their wives and, at the same time, gratify their vanity.

In their expectations, Christina and Crystal, who had been exhausted from job hunting, must be
overjoyed when they heard such good news.

However, things didn't go smoothly with Patrick's plan.

Christina called him excitedly the next day, telling him that she had been officially hired! "My boss is so
smart and handsome, and young! I heard that he started his business from scratch.

Amazing!"

Patrick's face darkened when Christina kept praising her boss.

He felt like his plan had been ruined.
