Yin Jie sat in a corner on the second floor of the Zoo Café. Behind him is a natural partition formed by the connection of several large broad-leaved plant bonsai, and on the small table in front of him is the freshly ordered Americano. She was waiting for a phone interview with Erdmann, the head of LS.

Yin Jie came out of the company early under the pretext of visiting customers today, and came here to wait after completing the customer visit early. It is very close to the company, so you can quickly return to the company to deal with urgent matters without being affected by traffic conditions. At the same time, it also avoids the embarrassment of accidentally being bumped into by a colleague. If someone happens to be here at this time, they usually won't notice the corner of the second floor, which is shaded by tall greenery.

In addition to the advantage of distance, Yin Jie chose Zoo Coffee mainly because he likes the style here, the animal-style murals, the tall green plants, and the seductive but particularly designed green plants... In the midst of the urban forest, a pleasant natural environment is depicted. This kind of petty bourgeois but slightly reserved sense of distance, she likes it very much. Choose here to complete this important interview. She thinks she'll feel more at ease.

Most of the coffee drinkers here prefer to be quiet and rarely noisy. Everywhere you can see coffee customers reading books/magazines while drinking coffee, or surfing the Internet with the strong aroma of coffee, even if they talk on the phone, they cover their whispers with their hands, so as not to disturb others.

Yin Jie sipped his coffee while casting his gaze aimlessly out of the window.

Through the dim tea-green glass, the hot and domineering sunlight seemed to soften. There was no one on the street, and occasionally a car sped by, rolling up a few fallen leaves. Under the scorching summer sun, the lush trees on the roadside have become lazy, as if they are taking a nap. Only occasionally when the wind blows, the branches and leaves between the trees casually slap twice with the wind, and then calm down instantly.

She was thinking about her thoughts. I don't know what kind of person Erdmann is? In addition to the regular questions, will he ask any tricky questions that are difficult to answer? Ning always said that Erdmann is from S, but he can speak English very fluently, I don't know if his accent is heavy? Can he understand it? Yin Jie has been prepared for the question involving LS, but he still can't help but worry about what will go wrong.

At 2:30 a.m., Erdmann's call came in on time.

"Hello, is that Evita? I'm Erdmann, the head of LS. "English with a strong German accent.

"I'm Evita. Hello, it was a pleasure to talk to you on the phone. Yin Jie was very happy, although he had an accent, he spoke slowly, and he was able to capture his words.

After a few words of greeting to each other, the two officially entered the interview process.

"Dear Evita, why do you want to leave your current company?" Yin Jie briefly introduced the current situation of North Mingtai and his own thoughts.

"What position do you hold in the company now, and what are you responsible for?"

"If it's convenient, could you please tell us about your achievements in your current position?"

Faced with this series of routine questions, Yin Jie answered calmly and smartly, and he was at ease.

"Evita, can you tell me why you wanted to work at LS? and what do you know about LS?"

Yin Jie focused on his experience of government work and his understanding of LS work, and politely but firmly said that he was fully qualified for LS work.

"Can you give yourself a qualitative, objective assessment, and what do you think you are best at?"

This question is also to be expected. Yin Jie replied seriously:

"I love working with people, I am good at empathy, and my former and current clients have commented that I am very professional and service-oriented. Based on my years of experience working in the business system, I have a good understanding of the internal workings of the system and the thinking patterns of Chinese companies. Therefore, I think I am very suitable to do the promotion service work for Chinese companies and governments. ”

"Very good, can you tell me a few examples? Please share two cases that you can be proud of. ”

Yin Jie introduced the Sinar Mas Group project and the South China Fair project to him. The former can reflect Yin Jie's professionalism, enthusiasm, patience and principle in facing the enterprise, while the latter focuses on his hard-working work, thoughtful project management, and good at team organization, motivation, empowerment and follow-up evaluation.

"Thank you for your warm introduction. Evita, I feel as if I've been able to see you and be in touch with you. However, LS places great importance on the integrity record of new employees when recruiting new employees. As a result, we may need to have a phone call with your current boss. When do you think it's more convenient?"

=mouth=!what's going on?!

Yin Jie was stunned for a moment. She shook her head.

"Sorry, this may not be a particularly good time. ”

"Why? We just need to verify what you just said, don't worry. ”

"I do care a little bit about it. Because I still haven't found the right opportunity to talk to my current boss about leaving. In this case, it may be a problem for you or your colleague to call her directly. My current boss is nice to me and I hope you understand my concerns. Of course, if LS has already decided to hire me, I will find an opportunity to explain it to her as soon as possible. ”

"Dear Evita, I totally understand your feelings. Trust me, if you don't agree, we won't be in touch with your current boss. But like I said earlier, the first condition to join the LS team is integrity, and we will only be able to decide to hire you after verifying your integrity record. ”

"Can I understand it this way: the only obstacle that hinders LS from hiring me now is the test of integrity, that is, as long as it is verified that what I have presented is true, then LS will definitely hire me?"

"Hmm...... In a way, you can understand it this way. ”

"Well, if the program has to, you can contact my boss. But I ask you to be more considerate of her emotions when communicating, and I hope she feels a little lighter. ”

"No problem, I promise you, I'll call her personally. Rest assured. ”

I'm not at ease at all!

Putting down the phone, Yin Jie felt an inexplicable panic. She didn't know if it was right or wrong to agree with Erdmann to call Xu Wenli. Obviously, she didn't have any other choice if she still wanted to join LS.

After more than two years of close cooperation, she already knows Xu Wenli quite well, but she is not so confident in Erdmann.

She thought to herself that the crux of the matter now was that LS had a few candidates in its hands.

If there are multiple candidates currently undergoing a background check at the same time, Erdmann may choose to abandon her after a comprehensive evaluation. This possibility exists objectively, because Yin Jie has a hard flaw in applying for this important position———— she has never lived in Europe and the United States, so there is a great possibility of cognitive differences, and the cost of communication may be relatively high in the future.

Of course, it is also very likely that Yin Jie will be selected among multiple candidates, after all, her years of industry experience are real and not mixed with a little water. Actually, she doesn't think it's possible for LS to find another person who has the same experience at the same time. Moreover, from Yin Jie's work experience, it can be seen that her stability and reliability are extremely high.

There was only one candidate, and she didn't dare to expect such good fortune.

What is certain is that after receiving Erdmann's call, Xu Wenli will be very unhappy, and of course she will truthfully introduce Yin Jie's work performance and achievements. But what about after the phone call? The respected Wen Li will always find a way to make Yin Jie doubly unhappy. This is her character, she is reckless and never looks ahead. At that time, who will talk to Yin Jie about leaving? Maybe Xu Wenli will come forward in person?

It's the best thing to get into LS, but what if you can't?

She sipped her coffee, and the fragrant and slightly bitter liquid filled her mouth, cold and silky, and slid down her throat to her stomach. She thought bitterly: what if LS and Xu Wenli were given up at the same time, and how should I find a new job opportunity?

... ...

After some struggle, Yin Jie decided to let go of this matter. Since it has been decided to leave North Mingtai, of course, it should bear the corresponding risks caused by it. At present, she has tried her best to do what she can do, "the people are the people, and the success is the sky", and she can only put the responsibility on the destiny of heaven. All that can be done now is to wait for LS's choice. Even if it is still a tragedy in the end, you can only try to see the trick as much as possible after the matter becomes clear.

It's useless to think too much!

Yin Jie drank coffee in a few sips, and deliberately went to the counter to buy a chocolate lava cake, intending to comfort his frightened little heart.

As a natural fat-prone star, in order to maintain his weight, Yin Jie pays special attention to the calorie control of each meal. On weekdays, I don't touch sweets and fried foods. Of course, there are exceptions when the mood swings are relatively large.

Well, the mood fluctuates a lot today.

... ...

For a few days, Yin Jie was a little worried. Whenever she saw Xu Wenli, she stepped forward to say hello on the doglegs, shh On this day, Xu Wenli couldn't help but ask her very suspiciously: "What good things have you encountered recently??"

"Huh, good thing, why do you say that?" Yin Jie raised his eyebrows and said a little cutely.

"Do you remember your previous tune?'To avoid unnecessary time consumption','Don't interfere with Wen Li's judgment, you should be allowed to see the original information', every time you come back from a meeting, you will directly hand me the original meeting materials, and only use markers to scribble the key points on them. What's the matter today? Are you willing to take the time to summarize and summarize? Are you not afraid of interfering with my judgment? Or is there too little work now and you don't need to save time and energy?" Xu Wenli joked.

Yin Jie smiled awkwardly. She finally realized that she was behaving abnormally under the weakness of her heart.

Thinking about it, Xu Wenli is really a good boss who is very tolerant. With her previous words and deeds, even a boss can't bear it. Even if the work performance is good, it will definitely be treated well in other companies. But Wen Li always tolerated her deviance...

She was moved in her heart, secretly thinking about what a tragic consequence would be if this kind of behavior was committed at the hands of her husband.

That's right, Yin Jie's husband, classmate He Yuxin, is an absolutely strict "big devil" in the company where he works. Yin Jie once happened to observe He Yuxin's video work meeting, and when facing the sales manager with poor performance, she was almost shocked to doubt her life when she watched her husband, who had always been gentle and gentle, say those harsh and even mean words.

Yin Jie, who was inadvertently frightened, later thought about it himself. In modern society, competition is too harsh, everyone has one or several "social masks" either actively or passively, and people are accustomed to hiding behind the masks when working and socializing, both keeping a distance and maintaining safety. There are no exceptions to this situation, those who are transparent and true from beginning to end, and who are the same from the outside to the outside, only exist in fairy tales, and there is no way to exist in the soil of real life.

Yin Jie and He Yuxin's requirements for each other are very simple - no matter how many social masks there are, they must be removed when they go home, and the couple must be honest with each other. "Family" in the hearts of two people who love each other, represents real emotions and unguarded rest, and also represents heart-to-heart contact. The two high-fived and agreed that if one day, even if they have to wear a mask even when they go home, it means that the relationship will be over at that time, and they will be together and dispersed.

This is off-topic.

After the phone interview, Yin Jie's life quickly returned to calm. One day, at noon, she and a few colleagues met for lunch at a small restaurant near the company, and were arguing whether the dried beans were better or the lentil noodles were more fragrant, when the phone suddenly rang. When she saw that number, her heart struck, and she quickly regained her composure. She casually said to her noisy colleagues around her: "You go first, just help me order a dry fried small yellow croaker, and the rest is whatever." I'll answer a phone call, home. Then he walked away from the crowd and walked into the Bank of Communications on the side of the road.

There are very few people who go to the bank at noon to do business. She walked to the last row of the waiting area, sat down, and answered the phone. A slightly familiar unfamiliar female voice spoke.

"Evita? I'm Bella from LS China. ”

Yin Jie applauded himself in his heart.

"I am pleased to inform you that you have passed the examinations of Mr. Erdmann and Mr. Ning and have been officially admitted. Do you think it's convenient to come to work next Monday?"

"Thank you, it's great to hear that. But I need to hand over to the company, and it may take a while. ”

"How long will it take? LS plans to hold a larger event in Nanjing in early November. You will organize and carry out the work as the China leader of the LS team, which will also be your first appearance in the industry. The preparation time for the event was already tight...... How long do you have to complete the handover?"

"According to the signed work contract, 3 months' notice is required for voluntary resignation. I went back and talked to my boss to see if I could shorten this time... I'll try to get there as quickly as possible so that it doesn't interfere with the preparations for the November event. So... Do I know if I'm going to notify you directly after I leave the job, or is it some other colleague?"

"Please notify me as soon as your onboarding time is confirmed, and my mobile phone number will be sent to you directly in a moment. Also, if it's convenient, I hope you come over and sign a work contract as soon as possible. I recommend that you also take the materials related to the November meeting so that you can start preparing as early as possible. ”

"Okay, thank you for calling today. I'll come over on Friday afternoon to sign up and pick up the relevant documents. ”

As expected.

Did Erdmann contact Xu Wenli? Judging by Wenli's general attitude, it should be that there is no contact yet.

But why is there no connection? Is his question itself a test?

In addition, this Bella seems to be very simple, and it looks like a big housekeeper.

Yin Jie happily called her husband to report the good news.
