Red Glasses lowered her head again, her voice hushed and mysterious: "What kind of questions did HR ask during your interview?"
Xia Tian made a thoughtful expression: "Uh... they asked about my past experiences, the cases I've handled, and then there was a simulation of a layoff..."
"Yes, that's it."
Red Glasses said quietly, "Your main job moving forward will be 'employee optimization,' and it's quite urgent."
Implied in her words, she habitually corrected Xia Tian's phrasing, turning "layoff" into "optimization."
After a pause, Red Glasses continued, "I'll explain the specifics to you in a bit, but just keep it in mind. Also, handling this kind of thing... hmm, might be a bit stressful, so be prepared."
In the eyes of Red Glasses, a professional woman with almost two years of work experience, Xia Tian, a member of the Ivory Tower still in school, might need some time to adapt to what was coming next.
