Chapter: 5276
Liu Manqiong hurriedly said, "Thank you very much! You're going out of your way..."
Chen Xue smiled and said, "Not at all, not at all. You are someone we're instructed to pay special attention to by our department head. She has been praising your resume highly."
As she spoke, she looked at the time and said, "There's still half an hour left. How about we go in? I'll take you on a tour!"
Liu Manqiong was slightly taken aback and opened her mouth to say, "I'm taking you up on that..."
"Don't be silly!"
As Chen Xue opened the school's sightseeing electric car, she brought Liu Manqiong along and took a lap around the entire school.
Liu Manqiong didn't even need to wait for the whole school tour to finish; as soon as they entered the school gate, she immediately fell in love with this place.
Perhaps it was because of Yang Chen's filter lens that she felt everything at Jining University was so charming and attractive. The vast campus looked very open, and the buildings were quite impressive. Even the trees and flowers seemed exceptionally lush.
In general, everything was just great here.
As for Jining University's attitude towards her, it was exactly as Aunt Shang said - absolutely seeking talents like precious gems.
For two years, Jining University had been placing great emphasis on recruiting talent from Hong Kong and overseas professors, expending a lot of thought in the process but with little to show for it.
Many high-achieving graduates from top universities in Hong Kong or abroad, if they were interested in teaching, could usually apply directly to this school. On one hand, they would be familiar with the environment; on the other hand, they would have already established a solid network foundation during their studies and leave with further development.
Moreover, Jining University's international ranking was indeed significantly lower than that of Hong Kong University and other world-renowned universities. For example, HKU ranked 21st globally according to QS rankings, while Jining University ranked 133rd globally - the gap was not small at all.
So, for Jining University, recruiting Ph.D. students was good, but it was not easy to recruit top-notch Ph.D. students from Asian top five or global top thirty universities.
Furthermore, Liu Manqiong's performance in HKU was extremely outstanding, with almost all her academic achievements being exceptional. This view was shared by several interviewers at Jining University, who thought they had struck gold.
During the interview, three interviewers were extremely satisfied with Liu Manqiong's resume background and actual performance during the interview. The person in charge of human resources was so impressed that they had already started drafting a press release announcing her appointment - this could be said to be the most outstanding highlight in this year's youth talent introduction program.
Moreover, Liu Manqiong's appearance, figure, and demeanor are one-of-a-kind, making her a stunning beauty who would definitely generate buzz on social media. Those artificially enhanced "beautiful teachers" who post heavily edited photos can attract countless fans, but Liu Manqiong's natural and unadorned beauty is sure to spark discussions and admiration.
Because everyone was extremely satisfied with Liu Manqiong, the head of the human resources department at Jining University wrote down a sentence on a piece of paper during the interview: "Too outstanding! There are many schools paying attention; recommend skipping the re-examination and confirming it quickly!"
Although this person is only responsible for human resources, the decision-making authority to hire or not belongs to one vice-chancellor.
The vice-chancellor looked at the paper without comment and wrote two characters below: "Agree."
Then, he pushed the paper in front of another interviewer, who quickly added a "+1" after "Agree".
As a result, the three interviewers transmitted information through the paper, making an unprecedented decision.
After the interview, a woman around 40 years old stood up and smiled at Liu Manqiong: "Miss Liu, considering your background and conditions are very consistent with our requirements for young talent, we have made a unanimous decision among the three of us. As it is, you can be confirmed as an appointee right now."
Liu Manqiong was amazed and asked, "Do I not need to take part in re-examination or written tests?"
The woman smiled: "No need! Although our normal recruitment process involves one-on-one interviews, written tests, and other stages, here we only have one face-to-face interview that is absolutely necessary. The other two stages can be adjusted according to the actual situation. We all feel that you meet all our requirements, and since you are currently residing in Hong Kong Island, there's no need for you to go back and forth. If you're also willing to stay at our school as a teacher, please adjust your schedule and spend another day with us. Today, we will complete the appointment process and prepare the contract documents; tomorrow morning, we can formally sign the contract." JrNovels.com
