Even those from prestigious universities failed to secure the job. Seeing this, the young man beside Jared grew increasingly apprehensive. His hands clenched, his palms sweating. "Next, Jared Chance" Jared's turn arrived quickly. As he stood, the young man beside him grabbed him. "You have to put in a good word for me, bro. I'm counting on you," he pleaded anxiously. Jared nodded before entering the office.

Inside, he saw three people seated behind a table, with the receptionist who had collected resumes standing to the side. Zayne, seated in the middle, clearly led the interview. Zayne's word was decisive in determining the outcome. With a calm gaze, he said, "Please introduce yourself."

Before Jared could respond, one interviewer interjected, "Since you don't have a resume, tell us about your post-graduation work experience." Jared briefly described his experience, including his time in prison. He wasn't surprised by their lack of astonishment; Zayne had informed them beforehand.

After listening, Zayne leaned back, arms crossed, silent. The receptionist quickly stepped forward and gently massaged his shoulders. Then, one interviewer sneered, "Do you know what company this is? Who the owner is? You're an ex-convict, and you dare apply here?"

"Is there a company policy against hiring ex-convicts?" Jared countered calmly. "What's the big deal? Are ex-convicts inherently evil?"

"There's no such policy, but your past will damage our image," the interviewer retorted. "Other companies wouldn't hire you either. If I were you, I'd be too ashamed to even leave the house!"

The interviewer's loud, derisive tone was audible to the other candidates. They were shocked, particularly the young man who'd spoken to Jared earlier.

"Damn it! He's an ex-convict! What a waste of my time!" He rushed to the restroom.

Jared remained calm, replying, "If I were you, and impotent, I'd be too ashamed to sit here. You have dark circles under your eyes. Sleepless night because you couldn't perform, even with your wife next to you?"

The interviewer stared, horrified. "How how did he know?"
