Chapter 78
All the interns went out feeling a bit uneasy.
They are different in character and each of them behaves differently. Among the four, Jian Shiwu is a bit slow, Sun Liman is the most active, and Jin Zhe is the most educated and the most stable, although he has tried his best to act very humble, but he always carries a sense of contempt when he looks at people.
Jin Zhe said in a low voice: "I'm not sure I'll be accepted."
Sun Liman laughed out loud, "Hey, don't be ridiculous, I think you're the one person among us that the interviewers are most happy with, so if you're not going to get in, then we're all screwed."
A smile appeared on Jin Zhe's clean-cut face.
Then, for some reason, he turned his face to look at Jian Shiwu: "I think Shiwu did well too, surprisingly, and I think he'll be more popular with the interviewers."
Jian was named, and he looked over.
The others were drawn to look at him, smiling meaningfully and saying.
"Shiwu, you've got a lot to hide."
"Yes, you'll have to take care of me from now on."
"Great, great."
Of course Jian Shiwu wasn't stupid enough to think they were really complimenting him, he also maintained the plastic friendship: "That's all I’m smart about, in terms of ability you're all a lot better than me.”
The interns laughed.
The least talkative person within this group was Su Yuluo.
He was the same as Jian Shiwu, a boy who had just started out, with very detailed features, an inch haircut and a silent, rather hard-headed approach, and in the interview session just now, his words were just as few, but compared to the others who had all just graduated and had no work experience, this young man had a lot of experience, and studied finance, so he actually had a big competitive advantage.
Perhaps noticing his measuring look, Su Yuluo looked over sensitively.
Jian Shiwu peeked and was discovered, but it wasn't too embarrassing. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he nodded at him as a greeting. Su Yuluo seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then nodded in greeting.
The audience, after all this time of watching, also had a preliminary understanding of the four people.
"I don't like Sun Liman, she likes to steal the limelight."
"Jinzhe is quite versatile."
“He’s average.”
"Isn't Jian Shiwu too? He said his English is average."
"Oh my, but Jian’s English is really average, but with good pronunciation."
After the group of people briefly had a simple understanding, the results of the interview had not come out yet. Then the woman wearing professional clothes before came from the stairwell, she stood fixed in front of the crowd, face smiling and said, "I’m Li Li from HR here to welcome you four to Ji company. Now I will be responsible for showing you around our company. "
The four interns hastened to assume a proper posture to greet their senior.
Ji company had only in recent years shifted focus to China, and this is a subsidiary belonging to the city of A, the whole building was divided into four big operational departments: the channels, business, research and development, infrastructure, these four operational departments are abbreviated as: Lei, Li, Feng and Xi. Unlike traditional companies, Ji has its own set of core management systems, with a strong personal style of corporate culture that has been a source of great pleasure for many people.
And the four interviewers who gave them interviews today were naturally representatives of the four major departments.
Sun Liman was the most curious : "So the few interviewers who gave us interviews just now are the bosses of these four departments?"
"Of course not." Li Li gave them a too naive look, "The real leading bosses are busy with their days, they don't have time to participate in the interviews, when you are accepted to each floor, say you can't even have the chance to meet them."
Such mystery made people even more curious.
The interior of Ji's was understated and simple, but it definitely didn't give a sense of cheapness, on the contrary, it revealed a high-end luxury everywhere.
Jinzhe asked, "Sister Li, do we have the chance to meet the CEO?"
The words fell, and everyone pricked up their ears.
Li Li walked on her high heels and smiled at his words, "If it's a chance meeting, you guys can take your chances."
Sun Liman was a little girl after all, and her curiosity was heavy, she blushed and gossiped, "Sister Li, have you seen the president, what does he... look like?"
"I've seen him from afar, very handsome." Li Li was used to seeing these little girls being flowery, but she still added, "But don't judge people by their faces, oh, the president is very scary.”
A few of the other interns looked at each other.
They wouldn't belittle Ji's president, he was definitely a character if he could bring up such a company.
......
After a round of strolling down, several people's legs were a little weak.
This point in time, the job notice admission results have also been out. Li Li walked to the lounge, standing in front of a blackboard and said: "Our four interviewers were very satisfied with all of you, but your real ability is not yet understood, this blackboard has a total of four subjects, each of you can choose one subject, the end time is 8pm."
There were small tasks posted in black and white on the large blackboard.
Li Li smiled and said, "After eight o'clock, those who completed the task with quality will be given the post they deserve."
Sun Liman had good eyes and was quick to read the task cards on top of the blackboard.
A: Assist the channel project team to complete the customer questionnaire intention count.
B: Assist the business department in setting up the weekend launch site.
C: Assist the R&D department with the testing project.
B: Assist Big Operations with employee photo collection.
These four tasks, it seemed like none of them are difficult, but if you think about it carefully, especially if you know the company well, you will know the difficulty. Each department has a different temperament, if you anger any, they won’t care whether you are an intern or not. It doesn’t matter what you are there for.
Li Li added, "As well as, during your day of work, your colleagues, as well as the leaders of your department, will be marking you at the end of the day."
A staff member came over and gave each person a small placard to wear on their chest with the number in red: 0
Sun Liman inquired, "What is this for?"
"This is the score for each of you." Li Li smiled, "On our intranet, some of our colleagues have opened up access to score your performance at work in real time, and all of you initially have a score of 0."
The director at the back of the room interjected appropriately at this point, "This score is very useful to all of you, from today onwards, your internet banking and cash has been discontinued and the score is your company wide money, including today's lunch."
?
The four were dumbfounded.
Jian Shiwu, being a foodie, was the first to ask, "Director, if there are no scores, what will we eat for lunch?"
The director smiled, "Don't worry, I run a democratic variety show, even if you don't have scores, we won't really let everyone go hungry."
The crowd breathed a sigh of relief.
The director added with an expression on his face, "But there won't be anything but boiling water and buns."
"......"
A silence fell over the scene.
Li Li eased the atmosphere and said with a smile, "Don't worry about it, as long as everyone works hard, you can definitely get a lot of extra points opportunities, and according to our rules, our ordinary employees can add 0.5 points at a time, the extra points from the team leader level and above is 1 point, if it is a supervisor the authority is 2-5 points, and so on. "
Sun Liman was whimsical: "What about the president's authority to add points?"
How dare you think.
Li Li looked over with a smile, "If you can get the approval of my our president's office, then you should be able to eat and dress without worry."
Everyone was heartened to the core.
But there was no mercy when cold water was thrown, and Li Li said, "But the probability is almost equal to zero."
......
The next step was to choose a task.
Jian Shiwu chose C, the R&D department project test, but for some unknown reason, when he chose this task, Li Li actually cast a sympathetic look at him.
Jian Shiwu's heart suddenly got flustered.
There was a break after the selection, and several interns exchanged a few words of conversation.
"Then we can't offend anyone at the company, they can all rate us.”
"Yeah, and there's less than an hour and a half before dinner."
"We are now at 0 points."
"And I feel like these tasks are hard."
They finished their exchange and Li Li walked over, "Alright, everyone wait here and someone will come and lead you to your respective floors."
The interns nodded their heads.
Li Li waved at Jian Shiwu again, "You, come with me.”
The moment he was about to step into the lift, a group of people walked past in the corridor not far away. That side of the corridor was sunny, with warm yellow sunlight spilling down, the man at the head of the group was tall and strolled ahead, glancing sideways from time to time and saying something to someone, not a very assertive gesture, but absolutely no one would mistake him not to be the boss in the group of people.
The back ...... was so familiar.
"Ding."
The lift arrived.
Beside him Li Li reminded him, "You can go in now."
He was still lost in his thoughts when he heard Li Li beside him say, "Good luck."
What?
Jian looked at her curiously.
Li Li smiled, "That was our president in that group just now, I think he came out of a meeting with the operations group."
Jian Shiwu was inexplicably a little concerned: "The current CEO is ......"
"Just got back from headquarters." Li Li also seemed to carry some little girl admiration: "Although young, but very tactful, if you have any fantasies about novel and drama plots, stop thinking about it already."
Jian Shiwu was still unsure whether it was the one in his heart or not, and could only follow up by asking, "Why?"
Li Li covered her lips and smiled: "Our CEO seems to be a workaholic who doesn't eat and doesn't hear things out of the window."
"Is that so..."
"Well, how come there are so many domineering CEOs in the workplace but none will fall in love." Li Li smiled disapprovingly, and added, "There are not so many perfect heroines."
It was said in jest, but as soon as she turned around, she met Jian Shiwu's gaze, and under the lift's miserable white light, his fair, handsome face was indifferent, his long eyelashes blinking with movement, his eyes round and watery. And when gazed at by him, one would unconsciously soften, like they were being rubbed against a soft little animal.
If there were really any protagonist faces in this world, the one in front of her would count, but their president would be one who wasn't even interested in the celestial fairies.
"Ding."
The lift arrived.
Li Li returned to her senses and said to Jian Shiwu, "Let's go, I’ll take you to see the mission you'll be undertaking today."
Jian Shiwu nodded.
This was the 18th floor, and when he came in, he could see the workplace on the 18th floor. The large flat floor was open and spacious, the corridors and work were filled with the silhouettes of people going back and forth, they walked around clutching papers, unusually busy, and there was no need for small partitions between workstations, everyone had two curved screen computers on their work with various product drawings and dazzling looking data.
Such a highly efficient and rotating workplace environment makes people feel the pressure as soon as they enter, and this image is all conveyed to the viewers through the live mode:
"The sense of immersion is so strong that I’m suffocating."
"Mamma I’m out of breath, I’m joining Ji company!"
"Oh my, social fear has broken out."
Jian Shiwu looked at Li Li curiously, "That, do I need to pick up my computer from HR and...where is my workstation?"
Li Li pointed to an empty desk not far away.
Then she patted Jian Shiwu and told him to look at a glass-covered office not far away, "You don’t need a computer, your task today is to assist the R&D side to complete the project, and this assistance means that if the R&D department can submit the project on time today, you’ll be done with your work."
Jian Shiwu seemed to understand.
Li Li didn't seem to want to explain too much, she smiled: "Do you see the man in that office, he is the main person in charge of the project, whether it can be submitted today is up to him, your task is to make him submit it today, understand?"
......
Jian finally got it!
So the so-called "assistance" was not doing the project, but to assist the project manager?
It seemed easier to do that than to actually help with the project, but why did it always feel like it couldn't be that easy?
Li Li patted him on the shoulder: "Good luck, you have an hour to eat, try to earn some points!"
Jian felt the pressure.
When Li Li left, he was left alone on the entire floor, everyone else here was busy with their own business at hand, no one paid any attention to him. Jian Shiwu stood in place for a while and found that people who passed by him were curious, but except for the occasional extra glance, everyone else stepped quickly away.
Perhaps one could also choose to stand in place for a day.
……
Of course, Jian Shiwu was not one to sit still, he observed and found a woman in a blue dress walking out of an office not far away, her face was peaceful, she should have come out to get water, and smiled at Jian Shiwu as she passed.
Jian said politely, "Hello, I’m a trainee."
"Intern?"
The woman smiled politely and said, "I’ve heard about it, and I signed up for your rating system this morning."
Jian didn't know how to take that, so he had to continue to smile awkwardly and say, "Yes, actually I’ve been given my first job assignment to assist R&D with a project, but I don't know where I can help..."
It dawned on the woman.
Her gaze swept over Jian Shiwu's body before she said, "I see, so that's it, well, I probably know what your job description is, I think it's to be Master Duan's temporary assistant!"
Jian Shiwu blinked in confusion, "Hmm?"
"Master Duan's usual little assistant recently took a leave of absence with a fever." The woman held her glass of water: "Usually she's the one who takes care of Master Duan, and she's the one who does things like pushing for projects.”
As she said this, the woman laughed with a bit of gloating.
Jian’s scalp tingled and he inquired softly, "And I am now?"
The woman pointed to the office and said, "The person you are working with is there, go ahead!"
Jian answered.
Because he had always been fired in his previous life, in the end he retained a great deal of respect for the workplace, and now that he was about to be challenged with his first job, it made him very nervous, so he took a deep breath and stepped outside the glass door, and he gave himself a full mental build-up before knocking.
After a while, a voice came from inside: "Come in."
Jian Shiwu opened the door and saw a man sitting on the chair with red hair and wearing a jacket. He was buried in a painting, and when he saw someone coming in, impatience flashed between his eyebrows, but he kept his temper in check: "Something's wrong."
Jian Shiwu stood in the doorway, his voice clean and crisp: "Hello Mr. Gu, I’m a trainee, today...I think I'm your temporary assistant."
Gu Duan frowned, "How come I didn’t get a notice."
The woman at the back with the cup of water came back. She probed and said with a smile, "The email was sent to you, saying that an intern might come over today, it was you who didn't read the email again!"
Gu Duan seemed to let out a low curse.
The clearly ill-tempered man turned his head and glanced at the computer, not knowing what to click on, and after making sure there was really such a thing as an intern, he waved his hand, "I’ve got nothing for you to do, get out."
Jian Shiwu froze.
The woman shrugged at him, saying she couldn't help it either before turning to leave.
Now the situation was awkward, he had been given the task of helping the project team to complete their work, but when he arrived, there was no one to talk to, not to mention no work. It would have been awkward for anyone else, but Jian was good at dealing with strange people, and in the words of Lui Heng, “If you could take down Shen Cheng, what else are you afraid of?”
Sure enough Jian Shiwu didn't take the hit, a smart man knows to find work for himself.
His eyes glanced at Gu Duan's empty cup, Jian Shiwu stepped forward, unassuming: "Your glass of water is empty, I’ll go get you some water."
Gu Duan was just about to be immersed in his work: "No, I don’t want water."
This was blocking the way to death.
Jian Shiwu stood in front of the table, silent for a long time, and just after Gu Duan thought that this person finally knew how to give up, he heard another brittle word come from him, "Then let me sharpen your pencil!"
Because he was drawing and using a 2b pencil, the pencil lead of the pen Gu Duan was using was already gone.
The pencil tip of the person who was burying his head paused.
Just when Jian Shiwu thought he was going to agree, Gu Duan frowned and looked up with an unkind face, "I don’t like people to be around when I’m working, now get out immediately."
No mercy.
Before Jian Shiwu could react, he saw Gu Duan sidling up to the computer and pressing something, and the next thing he knew, the number on the intern's work badge had changed to -10 points.
......
There were still 50 minutes until lunch, he hadn't earned any points and he was up in debt.
At this time, there was suddenly more barrage on the live stream.
"Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha."
"Sorry,I wanted to laugh so much."
"Isn't it deserved, who let you be insensitive."
"...You can't say that, it's Jian’s task."
"Yes, sensibly, he was right not to go out, if he did, it would have been harder to come back in later, after all, the other side had given the eviction order, and Jian was smart and kept finding opportunities for himself, that was actually a plus."
A normal person would have been absolutely annoyed and angry at this.
If he was a thin-skinned intern, he might have cried if he had been publicly embarrassed like this.
But Jian still stood there openly and honestly, and while Gu Duan was trying to admire his wretched appearance, the big round eyes of the teenager in front of him remained clear and serene, and instead of frustration, a light smile appeared on his white face.
Jane Shiwu said, "I understand, then I'll take it out and help you peel it, is it okay if I don't disturb you in front of you?"
Under Gu Duan's dismayed gaze, Jian Shiwu took an unsharpened pencil from the table, came closer and he could smell a faint milk scent on the teenager. He was very disciplined not to look around. He even bowed politely, his voice soft: "Thank you for giving me the opportunity, I will work hard! "
Gu Duan: "Hey ......"
Who fucking gave you an opportunity.
Jian Shiwu bowed and then looked up, revealing that fair and beautiful face, he spread a smile, “Then I'm going out!”
Then, amidst the gossip of a whole group of people in the R&D department waiting, explicitly or implicitly, to see how the new intern would be kicked out by Grumpy Duan and admire his frustrated back, the door opened and the intern walked out with a spring in his eyes, openly greeting everyone's gaze.
Jian Shiwu even greeted the crowd in a friendly manner, "Hello."
The group of people were dumbfounded.
They stiffly smiled back, and some who were waiting to see what was going on finally had to admit, after taking a closer look and realizing that Jian Shiwu had actually gotten a job and had returned to his work station to start sharpening pencils: that this new intern was really something.
......
By the time noon rolled around, Jian Shiwu was still at -10.
He sent the pencil in and was kicked out, this time Gu Duan seemed to have experience and didn't give him a chance to mess around, taking the pencil and telling him to get out.
Meeting at the company's restaurant on the 2nd floor, after two hours, Jian Shiwu saw the other three interns again. Before meeting them, he thought he was perhaps the worst one, everyone else was involved in the project and he was the only one who had sharpened pencils for a whole hour and had been deducted negative points, but he was even more shocked when he saw the others.
Su Yu-Lu: -40 points.
Jin Zhe: -50
Sun Liman: -20
“......”
Several people looked at each other, and in comparison, only Jane Shiwu's -10 points was actually the least!
After a long time of silence, it was Sun Liman who spoke first, she had long lost her lively energy from the morning, and was now somewhat heavy saying, "Perhaps, I wonder if there are enough cold buns in the canteen today enough for us to share."
A few of the others laughed bitterly.
Ji's canteen was so big, and it was divided into two restaurant sections, one part was a buffet, what with its fine little pastries, ah, buffet seafood, grilled meats, and even a chef at the operating table making the latest Michelin meal.
The other section, not far away, is all sorts of fried and cooked dishes, even noodles in soup, marinated meats, everything, and the whole canteen is filled with the aroma of food, tempting people to get hungry.
And they’re left pitiably to collect their steamed buns from the operating table not far away.
The director’s team was dining not far away, a table full of good food, and Jian Shiwu swore he even saw a bowl of crispy roast pork!
Sun Liman grimaced bitterly, "It's too bad, isn't it?"
Jinzhe shook his head helplessly, "Think of it as a diet, I’d eat some steamed buns as a staple now and then when I used to be in M country."
The remaining two also took a few steamed buns in misery and found an out-of-the-way part of the restaurant to eat.
After sitting down the group started to eat, they were basically just talking about what happened at noon, and were exchanging words when they suddenly heard a little noise from not far away, like a strange noise caused by some big person descending. Jian Shiwu turned around with buns in his mouth and saw a group of people walking not far away.
Sun Liman exclaimed, "It's the management team coming to dine!"
He was still swallowing his steamed bun carelessly, but as the group approached, his whole body froze when he saw the face, that face was a face he could never mistake in his life, a face so profound that it seemed to be etched in his soul, in his bones, and even in his midnight dreams these past four years, his figure would occasionally appear in the dream world.
Shen Cheng.
Jian Shiwu's hand unconsciously squeezed the bun harder.
In his ears were Sun Liman's florid exclaims and murmurs of.
"Oh my, the young proprietor of Ji's?"
"He's so handsome."
"Wow shit, he's looking over, he's looking at me!”
Shen Cheng was wearing a black high-fashion suit, his slender legs took small steps, but the people behind him were all respectfully pulling a short distance away, the man's face was cold, a pair of deep, sharp eyes were deep, his white tie was meticulously and neatly tied, giving a full sense of seriousness. It was as if he sensed the gawking from this side, and from a distance, he looked over.
Jian Shiwu and his gaze met remotely, at that moment, all around seemed to be quiet, his heart seized up, as if only the sound of a heartbeat could be heard.
Shen Cheng
You returned to China, why didn't you tell me.
The first thing that happened to him was that he looked at Shen Cheng in a daze, forgetting to move, stiff as a statue, until Shen Cheng took the lead and withdrew his gaze, walking towards the dining hall in front of him.
Everywhere they passed, the staff would consciously move out of the way, as if they were giving way to a king, all in awe and fear, but their gazes were all with admiration and fervor.
"God!"
When Shen Cheng and their backs were drowned out by the crowd, Sun Liman was the first to express her feelings: "He’s so cool!"
Jin Zhe pushed up his glasses, "This guy, I seem to have seen on the school's top ten honor roll, where he won a slam award."
Sun Leman stressed, "The face! His face could have been in a TV show!"
The always quiet Su Yuluo actually spoke up, "Before coming here I’ve learned about the M headquarters of Ji. Shen Cheng’s very powerful, he joined the board two years ago, last year's most popular hand game mentee’s program was designed by him, not only that, although young, but he is very skilled, it is said that the biggest shareholder Donald has had quite a few losses at his hands."
Su Yu Lu has always been a man of few words, who knew that he actually had the most information.
Sun Liman was still rambling on, next to her sat Jian Shiwu. After noticing that no one was echoing her, she looked curiously at the person beside her, "Hey...why aren't you talking?"
Since just now, Jian Shiwu had been unusually silent.
Sun Liman blinked and looked at Jian Shiwu with some curiosity, inquiring him, "Why do you look a bit pale?"
Jinzhe, who had an unusual power of observation, took a bite of his steamed bun, "Since the management team appeared, Jian’s face has not been good."
"No way..."
Sun Liman lost her smile, "Jian, is it possible that you know Mr. Shen?"
Under the gaze of the crowd of people, Jian Shiwu was forced to withdraw from his thoughts. The sudden meeting left no time to react and digest, his heart was happy and torn. He remembered he had been asked a question.
Jian Shiwu gave a coy smile: "Huh?"
Sun Liman said with a smirk, "You know him, huh?"
The camera was still live on the sidelines, a group of people were gossiping, but he had to continue his internship at the company, plus Shen Cheng hadn’t contacted him, so it didn’t seem like a good time at all.
So swallowing the bun that didn't taste much in his mouth, Jian said softly, "No, I’m just too hungry."
Everyone else looked at him seriously.
With a light smile in his big round eyes, Jian Shiwu said, "How can I be familiar with him?"
After saying that, he noticed that the others were staring behind him.
Then, Jian Shiwu took a while to feel that there was more noise around him, and the burning sensation behind him became stronger.
At the straight stares of his friends, a bad feeling spread in Jian Shiwu's heart, and he twisted his head somewhat stiffly. In his parallel view, there were black straight suit trousers, slender legs, a glance at high-fashion expensive leather shoes, and further up, a strong and lean waist, and then... he crashed into those deep and sharp eyes.
The man they had just been discussing was standing at a table not far from them at some point, with the group of executives behind him.
Then an elegant smile surfaced on Shen Cheng’s cold face, gentle but creepy.
Under Jian Shiwu's gaze, he walked over to their table and sat down, impartially sitting on the side of Jian Shiwu. As he took his seat, the other executives also took their seats around the interns, such a vocal presence that several of the interns were flattered.
Sun Liman was the first to swallow her steamed bun, she had a lively nature, but in the face of such a powerful aura, also became a bit timid, and stiffly greeted with a smile, "Good day leaders!"
The other leaders all smiled back politely.
Such harmony emboldened the intern, and she saw Jian Shiwu's body stiffen before she bravely said, "The leaders are here for dinner too, hahaha, what a coincidence, I’ve heard Sister Li talk about it before and thought it’s hard to have this honor to see it."
The executive opposite Shen Cheng said with a smile, "I’m usually dining in my own office or on the third floor, but occasionally I come over to eat with the staff to get to know the practices and improve the relationship."
As he said that, he also looked at Shen Cheng’s face, trying to show himself.
Sure enough, the man sitting beside Jian Shiwu, Shen Cheng, gave a low response, his voice was low and magnetic, and he glanced at the person beside him, unknowingly or unknowingly, and said, "It is indeed time to improve the relationship."
Jian felt a little compelled by the sight above his head.
He was a bit flushed by the guilt of being caught, and before he could buffer himself, he heard Shen Cheng’s slow and deliberate voice coming from him: "Or else you'll end up an unacquainted.”
Jian Shiwu suddenly raised his head and met those teasing eyes, the man raised his eyebrows and asked him, "What do you think?"
