Chapter 464: Chapter 463 Chapter 464: Chapter 463 The security guard steadied Matias’s arm and then pointed inside the gate, saying to him, “Please come in quickly!”

Matias: !!

He looked at Nara with a puzzled expression, then turned back to the security guard: “Huh?”

The security guard had a smile on his face, as if it were springtime and the flowers were blooming, “You all come in, do you know how to get to the HR department? Hold on a second, I’ll lock the gate and take you inside!”

The content of that text response was unclear to Matias and Nara, but he could make it out!

It was Nora Researcher!

Nora Researcher had always been the legend of their research institute; everyone had been working on projects remotely controlled by her.

Nora Researcher had never shown up but had managed to keep the company in great order, and whenever there was a technical problem, they just had to hand it over to Nora Researcher, and she always had an excellent response!

The security guard had never seen Nora Researcher, but he had seen her text message responses from the director!

So he recognized at a glance that the person who had sent the message to Nara was Nora Researcher herself.

As the security guard escorted Nara and Matias on the way to the institute, he couldn’t help but scrutinize her, wondering to himself, “What’s the story with this person? To have Nora Researcher personally send a message!”

Not far from the gate.

The person who had been trailing the two was dumbfounded.

On the phone, Jackson Gill was still smugly asking, “How is it? Were they kicked out?”

“They… they…” The trailing person stuttered, “They were enthusiastically… welcomed inside.”

Jackson Gill: ??

Jackson Gill couldn’t help but ask, “What did you say?”

The person following the two continued, “It’s true, they were enthusiastically welcomed inside.”

Jackson Gill: “You must be blind! The Nora Research Institute is the dream of all pharmaceutical engineering personnel. How could Nara, just a university student, get in?”

…

Nara was pondering the same question.

She quietly observed the surrounding environment.

This research academy, located in the prime real estate of Clance, consisted of single-story buildings, which was enough to illustrate the economic strength of the institute.

Here, there was architecture with ancient charm.

Pavilions and pagodas, rockeries and flowing water.

There was even a small park; working here, one wouldn’t feel like they were at work at all, but rather as if they were enjoying themselves.

And the places where the researchers actually worked were far from the street, so it was very quiet here; she couldn’t hear any car noise.

As Nara surveyed her surroundings, she marveled inwardly.

What a stroke of luck it would be to work here!

While thinking this, she was taken to the HR department by the security guard.

Opening the door, the security guard invited the two of them in. Nara clutched the corner of her clothing nervously, then coyly sat down opposite the HR staff.

Matias was even more at a loss.

The Freeman Sect had a similar environment, but it was full of rough men who practiced martial arts every day; where had he ever seen such academically talented people?

Matias had always thought they were just martial practitioners while this group of Scholars were the most formidable.

He even felt that his own appearance was too rough and burly; standing in this room, he felt rather out of place.

The HR staff was reviewing Nara’s resume, and after looking at it, they smiled, “Nara Gill, right? A university student still in school, I see you’re doing well in applied chemistry and biomedical research isn’t bad either. Which department would you like to intern in?”

Nara: ??

Was it always this direct?

She hesitated, then gesticulated with her fingers, and Matias translated for her: “She’s asking if she can choose either? …No, Nara doesn’t understand these things, sorry, leader, you tell us where you need people, and we’ll go there, we’ll be obedient.”

HR then smiled and said, “How about biomedical research? There might be less interaction, which could suit her better.”

Nara immediately nodded her head like crazy!

That was also her favorite direction.

She stood up, ready to leave when HR called out to her again, “Where are you going? We haven’t discussed salary yet!”

Nara: “…”

HR then pondered for a moment before saying, “We haven’t hired an intern before, so how about you call out a figure, and as long as it isn’t too outrageous, it’ll be fine.”

Nara thought for a moment, then slowly extended an eight.

Interns’ wages were naturally low; a little extra was just a subsidy for living expenses. Like her classmates interning at hospitals, they were making about a thousand.

Eight hundred… that shouldn’t be asking for too much, right?

Thinking this, she saw HR frown, and Nara immediately hesitated, changing the eight to a six.

Six hundred should be alright, right?

But HR was puzzled: “Are you asking for an annual salary of 600,000? Or a monthly salary of 60,000? I’m a bit confused.”

Nara: ?????

Were they even talking about the same magnitude?

She quickly gestured with her hands for “hundred.”

Matias was also stunned and spoke up for her: “She meant six hundred.”

HR looked surprised: “An annual salary of six hundred? It’s not impossible, it’s just that I would need to apply to the leadership for such an annual salary.”

Nara: ??

Annual salary of six hundred? What the hell? And they need to apply? Was it too low?

While she was pondering, Matias had a sudden realization, completely taken aback: “The unit you mentioned for six hundred, what is it?”

HR was also blank: “Isn’t it ten thousand? An annual salary of six million is quite common in our institute, though usually, that’s for long-term employees. We haven’t seen interns with that much before, and new hires start at two million.”

Matias: !!

He quickly gestured with his hands: “Our unit isn’t ‘ten thousand’! It’s six hundred, six hundred yuan! Six hundred yuan per month!”

HR: ?????

A look of conflict appeared on her face, and finally, she said, “We haven’t had anyone this low before, how about a monthly salary of 60,000?”

Nara urgently gestured with her hands.

HR sighed, “Fine, how about 8,000 per month? Is that okay?”

Nara was still gesturing, and HR spoke up, “Any lower, it won’t work, and we can’t hire you.”

Nara: …

She walked out of HR with a perplexed look, and as soon as she stepped outside, her phone started vibrating like mad.

All the messages were from her classmates:
[Nara Gill, did you really go to the Nora Research Institute?]
[How did the interview go?]
