B
Denson worked as a mechanic (机械师), but he lost his job a few months ago.
One day, he decided to attend a job interview. While waiting for a bus to the company where he was asked to be interviewed, he saw an elderly man checking the tyre (轮胎) of his car. Clearly, there was something wrong with the tyre. Denson went up to give him a hand at once. When Denson finished working on the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay for the service. Denson said there was no need to pay and he just helped someone in need, and he had to rush for an interview. Then the old man said, “Well, I could take you to the office for your interview. It's the least I could do, please. ” Denson agreed.
On arrival, Denson found a long line of people waiting to be interviewed. Denson still had some grease (润滑油) on his shirt, but he did not have much time to wash it off or change a new shirt. One by one, the people left the interviewer's office with unhappy looks on their faces. Finally, his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Denson's heart sank. “How could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself.
Then the interviewer turned the chair. To Denson's surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. He was the general manager of the company.
“Sorry that I had to keep you waiting, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as a member of the company before you even stepped into the office. I know you must be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!”
