Chapter 1104 - Hella Weird

After chatting with the Hong Kong socialite on Snappygram, two more replies arrived from other clients. They also confirmed the legitimacy of White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services.

"What iftheir Snappygram accounts got hacked?" Jasper Leung was still a bit skeptical. Perhaps it was because he felt a little traumatized by the company's job ad bombardment on him.

His friend rolled his eyes at Jasper's continued skepticism. "Bro, just try applying for this job. If it was really a scam, I know that you're smart enough to quit before it's too late, just like how you quit after discovering how much the Jin Corporation branch here is so corrupt. But if it's really a legitimate company and all the rave reviews of these clients are true, then you'll just regret it if you don't grab this opportunity when it's knocking on your door so many times."

Jasper thought that his friend had a point. He was already beginning to open up to the idea that maybe the universe was telling him somethingthat maybe, just maybe, this job at White Tigress company might be the one destined for him.

He finally made up his mind after a careful consideration while listening to his friend's encouragements. "Alright, I'll apply. I don't know if they'll hire me but it doesn't hurt to try, right?"

"Right! Go for it, bro! I'm cheering for you!"

Later that afternoon, Jasper returned to his apartment and uploaded a copy of his rsum with the online application form for the position of communications coordinator at White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services. He felt relieved after clicking the final "Submit" button. All he could do now was wait.

He looked at the clock. Although he wasn't expecting anything too much, he still hoped that the company would respond to his application today. His savings were dwindling fast. If he didn't find proper work soon, he might have to return to his parents' house and live there again with his tail tucked between his legs. His mother would surely nag at him again.

His savings could more or less last him for another two weeks at most. If he still failed to find a job appropriate for his education level, then he might have to force himself to work as a waiter or dishwasher at a fast food restaurant again like what he did to finance his student expenses in university.

Sighing, he once again searched for other jobs outside of Singapore. He had to cast his net wider and not just wait for White Tigress' response to his application before applying for other jobs. Simultaneous applications would increase his chances of being hired.

He sent out a few more applications to various companies, many of them he had never heard of before but verified their legitimacy through a quick web search. They weren't on Jin Corporation's level but beggars couldn't be choosers. He couldn't afford to be picky at this point. As long as he was sure that the company wasn't a scam, he would apply.

Ding!

A new mail arrived in his inbox. His heart skipped a beat upon seeing that the sender was Kitty Jin.

He immediately clicked on it.

"Dear Mr. Jasper Leung,

"Thank you for applying for the position of Communications Coordinator at White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services. We are a new company based in China but operate worldwide on an around-the-clock schedule.

"We would like to invite you for a video call interview for the position today at 5:45 PM.

"Please reply to this e-mail if you have any questions or need to reschedule the interview.

"Sincerely,

"Kitty Jin"

Jasper read the entire e-mail one more time. His heart was pounding in excitement. He got an interview. Finally! Yes!

"Today at 5:45 PM. Todayhuh? TODAY?!!"

He glanced at the clock again and almost fainted when he saw that it was already 5:30 PM. He immediately ran to his disorganized closet and rummaged for an appropriate outfit for the interview.

"No, not a full business suit. Too formal. Something more casualyes!"

He finally found a suitable outfit and changed quickly, almost ripping the shirt in the process. He didn't have time to iron some of the wrinkles. Hopefully, the interviewer wouldn't notice the not-so-perfect condition of his attire.

Then he ran to the bathroom to make his face and hair look more presentable. There was no time to take a shower. When he returned in front of his computer, it was already 5:43 PM.

He practiced his smile and his introduction. Although he already went through this process before and briefly got hired for his dream job, he still couldn't help but feel nervous even though this White Tigress company shouldn't be more impressive than Jin Corporation. It was still a new company after all, regardless of its already impressive clientele.

5:45 PM.

The video call request appeared on his computer screen. He took a couple of deep breaths before clicking the answer icon.

He could see his bright, business smile on the screen but Kitty Jin didn't have her camera turned on. She was only showing her profile photo which was a cartoon clip-art of a cat's paw.

"Hello, Jasper Leung! My name is Kitty Jin and White Tigress International Virtual Assistant Services is my super-duper to the highest level awesome company! The cute and mighty me is your potential bos
