"You can't do anything to me, because I will be so drunk that I would sleep on our way back home." Jia Li said with a smirk. She was sure that he wouldn't do anything to her if she was too drunk, hence, her high level of confidence.
"I can't say if you are smart or lucky. Alright, don't drink too much. You have tomorrow to rest, and the day after it, you have to start making preparations for your first day at work." Fu Hua said to her.
"What about the contract?." Jia Li asked. This is because they haven't signed it yet.
"You all will sign the contract on your first day at work. The 20 of you will be on probation for 2 months. At the end of the 2 months, you will all be graded according to your input. Those with 70 fewer points will go another probation and not get to partake in major events in FJ."
What Fu Hua was saying, in summary, is this… The 5 years contract they were to sign will only be effective if they passed from 70 points and above when graded individually, so those that didn't have up to 70 points at the end of 2 months (March) will repeat the probation period, and the 5 years contract, automatically canceled.
FJ sure was complicated, or maybe, their Boss was the one who had a complicated mindset.
After dinner, Fu Hua drove Jia Li back home to get some rest, while he checked on their daughter before going back to join Jia Li in the room.
Bai Jun was so excited about making it into FJ that she couldn't keep her mouth shut. She was so happy that she let one of her close friends know about it.
It was after she said it that she realized she had made a huge mistake.
"Ah lam, don't let anyone know about this yet until I inform them myself, okay?." Bai Jun said to her friend.
"What's the use of hiding it from everyone? But it's okay, I will let you announce the news yourself. Don't forget my birthday is in 3 days, come with a big gift." Ah lam said with a happy voice.
"I know, I will definitely get you a big gift. Alright, I have to go now, bye…" Bai Jun said before ending their conversation.
3 days, was Saturday, it wasn't far, but Bai Jun hoped that Ah lam wouldn't tell anyone about her getting into FJ.
At this point, Bai Jun was scared of consulting her mother for fear of getting scolded, so she remained calm about it.
Two days to the birthday party, the recruits of FJ were addressed about the condition to be reached for the 5 years contract to stand even after they had signed it.
It felt like a never-ending task for them to properly work for FJ, but given how big FJ was in the fashion industry, they didn't think too much about the effort they have to put in, in other to be recognized.
After signing their contracts, they were all assigned to their desks, which had their names on them.
Everyone one of them was happy to have their work desks, and some couldn't help taking pictures of themselves on their new work desk.
After settling the newbies, Sunny, and the deputy creative directors, went for a meeting, which concerned the newbies.
Fu Hua had another meeting with an important foreign investor, so he didn't join them for the meeting.
The two newbies were to be split into 3 groups, and each group would be headed by one leader from the creative department.
Sunny, Chyou, and the second deputy chief designer, were to head a group, each.
(FJ has 2 deputies from the creative arts department, Chyou was the first, and there was a male, named mike)
The groups were not shared, as each director had to pick the people they wanted under them, one after the order.
Everyone had their eyes on the Top 3 recruits, as no one would want to ignore them, but it wasn't possible for one director to have all 3 of them, or 2, they could only have one.
Sunny was the first to pick since she was the Chief Creative Arts director. Sunny glanced at the pictures of the Top 3 recruits, with Jia Li being the 3rd one.
Without wasting time, she picked Jia Li to be under her after staring at her picture for 3 seconds. Sunny's pick was surprising to the others because they thought she would pick the No. 1 on the chart.
Since Sunny had made her first choice, Chyou went on to pick the first person on the chart who was French, while Mike went on to pick the 2nd person on the chart who was a guy.
With this method, the creative art directors picked their students. At the end of the day, Sunny picked 6 people under her, while Chyou and Mike picked 7 people each.
During the picking, Bai Jun was the last to be considered. Chyou didn't want Bai Jun to work under her, so she picked the other person, and left her to be under Mike.
Only if Bai Jun knew how she ended up being under her current teacher, she would have gone crazy a long time ago.
Now that their teachers were announced, the newbies knew who they should report to directly.
Jia Li was surprised to learn that she was under Sunny. She had no idea how everything was arranged, but she liked it since her wish to receive lessons under Sunny, worked out.
On the first day at work, Sunny assigned some of the older Fashion designers to show the newbies around their floor, so they could get familiar with their new working environment.
Bai Jun was hoping that she would get to run into Fu Hua, but her wishes didn't come through. She could only sigh in regret as they walked back to their desks.
Bai Jun was not thinking that Fu Hua would send her away, as she thought that it was the old man of the Fu family who would do that since he was the one that asked her grandmother to stay away from their family, so she wasn't bothered about Fu Hua seeing her.
