Suburbs of S City.

One day at the end of August, the weather was hot and stuffy, and it was about to rain.

Yu Miao hugged the resume folder and portfolio in her arms, and shook the phone with her other hand, this damn map APP hurt Yu Miao. She'd been walking around for half an hour, and she hadn't found where she was going.

"How can the design company be located in such a remote place? Yu Miao looked at the little white shoes stained with a lot of loess on her feet, glanced at the time on her mobile phone, and talked to herself anxiously.

August is not a good month for fresh graduates to find a job. The school recruitment has long been over, the recruitment period in March and April has passed, and even the job leaks in May and June are gone. Some unscrupulous companies were discussing the list of layoffs in the winter in July and August.

Even if Yu Miao can survive until the golden nine and silver ten and then find a job, the rent will not be able to stand it. To survive in S City, you can't do without money for anything you eat, drink, wear, and wear. The company where Yu Miao interned suddenly announced its closure, and she desperately submitted her resume, only the company called "Mingle" notified her to go for an interview.

The interview time was set for half past nine in the morning, and Yu Miao finally found a courtyard with a "Mingle" sign at nine :25. At this time, she was already drenched, and her long hair was dripping with water, and she had no image at all. The white shirt and black skirt were all attached to her body, and Yu Miao trembled a little.

It's not like a design company, it's more like a factory. The smell of rust wafted through the air, and the corners of the yard were full of cut metal scraps. In the middle of the courtyard lay a strangely shaped iron shelf, like a teddy bear without ears, and the raindrops hit it and bounced off, and there was a puddle of water under the iron shelf. There is a small high-rise building on the right-hand side, and the staircase is still an old-fashioned iron frame structure. A tall girl walked down with an umbrella, the heels of her feet stepping on the metal pedals without a cover, making a muffled "click" sound. I don't know where a woman's screams came from any corner, and Yu Miao's heart twitched.

Yu Miao was a little hesitant, she was not sure about the nature of this company, she didn't want to go in for an interview, and one foot unconsciously moved back half a step.

There were several middle-aged men in blue overalls in the courtyard, squatting with umbrellas and smoking not far from the door, and the screams had no effect on them. Seeing a girl standing in front of the gate, the man in overalls greeted him warmly: "Girl, is there something wrong?"

Yu Miao has a problem, she always can't refuse enthusiastic people. Yu Miao, who was thinking about leaving, saw the kindness of the people's questions, and sold herself when she opened her mouth: "I~ I'm here to apply for a landscape designer." ”

"I saw the stairs over there, go up to the fourth floor and look for the personnel department. The man in overalls smiled, and his hand did not forget to point to the iron staircase.

Seeing that this man was clear, Yu Miao calmed down a little. She remembered that her classmates were discussing the location of the interview, some of them went to the office for interviews, some went to the residential buildings for interviews, and some went to the vegetable market for interviews. The most exaggerated one was directly invited to the hotel room, and the classmate was so frightened that he took off his high heels and smashed the interviewer.

"There is also a personnel department in this place, maybe the appearance is more confusing, it's safer than going to the hotel for an interview, it's better to go up and have a look, and then run." Yu Miao thought so, and did so, the time was not early, being late was not Yu Miao's style, she clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and ran up the stairs with a smoke.

Going up to the fourth floor, Yu Miao turned into an iron door, and a well-decorated corridor appeared in front of her. The white wall tiles with brown decorative strips look plain and elegant, quite in the style of an old-school design company. Yu Miao was sure that this was not a transit point for human trafficking, so she raised her feet and went to the third room, knocked on the door and walked in.

The HR director is a very thin long-haired eldest sister, and her smile is quite sweet. She saw that Yu Miao had become a soup chicken, so she specially handed Yu Miao a box of tissues and asked Yu Miao to tidy it up. The interview process is not difficult, just fill out the form, introduce yourself, and ask a simple professional question. Yu Miao was a little nervous, but she had done a lot of homework before, which didn't bother her. Looking at the reaction of the interviewer on the other side, I am quite satisfied. Yu Miao felt so lucky for the first interview, and she felt a little more confident.

The HR director said, "I don't have any problems here, you still have to meet our boss." Yu Miao saw that the matter was going to be done, and happily followed out.

In a small conference room, an uncle in his mid-fifties sat behind a conference table, holding a Caricature of Garfield in his hand, and was wearing glasses to read. Seeing Yu Miao coming in, the uncle pointed to the seat in front of him and motioned for Yu Miao to sit down. The personnel director handed over the copy work that Yu Miao had just finished painting to the uncle, and the uncle nodded with satisfaction after reading it.

Uncle and Yu Miao were soon left in the conference room.

"My surname is Wang, and I am the owner of this company. Yu Miao, right? Not bad, Master of N University, good at drawing. But to come and work here, you have to be able to answer my questions. The uncle said with a smile.

Yu Miao sat down, took a breath, and nodded at the uncle. She thought to herself that her uncle should have been quite handsome when he was young, and the corners of his mouth were crooked, and he was not so nervous.

Next, Boss Wang asked two questions that had nothing to do with landscape design, the legend of Atlantis and the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean". Yu Miao felt more and more that something was wrong with this company. Fortunately, the third question is about Southeast Asian plants, and it has a bit of a design company.

"Okay, welcome to Mingle Company, go to the personnel department to go through the entry procedures. By the way, find Sister Wang to get you an umbrella. Uncle Wang was very happy, instructed Yu Miao a few words, and continued to put on his glasses to look at Garfield.

Onboarding is also easy. Yu Miao took the umbrella to the toilet, and in the cubicle she heard the voices of two women.

"Hey, Li Xian, have you heard? Sister Wang has recruited a new person today. I heard that it was a master's degree. How do you think she can take a fancy to a small place like ours?"

A voice came from the other compartment: "Who knows. The current master's degree has no gold content, three years mixed with a diploma, we are just a painter, what's the use of studying so many books? Doesn't this still have to work with us? Hmph, the salary is not as much as ours, and the master's degree is in vain. It's better for us to have experience, so we don't have to be afraid of her. ”

"Yes, yes, yes. Do you think the boss has to make some new moves to keep recruiting?"

There was a sound of flushing water in the compartment next to him: "What's the new action, we've been idle for half a month, how can you eat, sleep, and play games, have you had enough?" Let's bet that this newcomer can stay for a few days." As far as our job is concerned, ordinary people can do it, and the probationary period may not be able to get by. ”

Both of them laughed when they finished speaking, and then the sound of washing their hands came. Yu Miao deliberately waited until they were far away before going out of the toilet, and left with a puzzled face.

After Yu Miao came back, the more she thought about it, the more wrong it became. Although she had only participated in this interview, in order to find a job, Yu Miao had read a lot of strategies, how could she ask those strange questions when interviewing landscape architects?

"What do you think, the interview didn't go well?" Yu Miao's roommate Li Sisi leaned over, she had just taken a shower, and she still had a good jasmine fragrance on her body.

Yu Miao glanced at her: "Sisi, do you say that the companies on Qichacha are reliable? I feel that today's company has a problem, not like a design company." I heard a woman's scream in the yard and their employees didn't react at all. I'm scared. Yu Miao hugged Sisi with her backhand.

Li Sisi pushed Yu Miao away and gave her a roll of his eyes: "What are you doing? You don't think the weather is hot enough? The information of this company that we read together yesterday has been established for more than ten years, what are you afraid of? This company is not mainly engaged in real estate design, and people clearly write that it is for playground design." Can't a top student of landscape design make a playground?"

"yes. Yu Miao muttered in a low voice.

"Think about next month's rent. Don't always be reluctant to condescend, what's wrong with a small company? It's true that they can make money, you see their family's salary is higher than that of your classmates, right? Hurry up and go to work tomorrow, my mother doesn't want to support you anymore. Li Sisi slapped Yu Miao with his elbow, leaving Yu Miao alone in the room to think about life.

Early the next morning, Yu Miao squeezed into the subway early. The thin sister Wang took Yu Miao to the fifth floor of the small building, and after stumbling to introduce herself, Sister Wang led Yu Miao to a tall girl: "This is Si Ruomi, if you don't understand anything, ask her." Other colleagues slowly got acquainted with each other, and there were not many people, and they all got to know each other soon. ”

Yu Miao was just about to open her mouth to call someone, but Si Ruomi glared at her, and threw Yu Miao a very thick booklet: "The company's products are all here, go over there and sit and read it yourself." After three days, you have to remember all the data in it. Yu Miao didn't want to say more, and followed the direction she pointed to and saw a fairly clean table. After a brief pack, I began to look through the booklet.

Yu Miao thought that this booklet should be some playground projects that the company had done, but after opening it, she realized that only the first ten pages in it were playgrounds, and the back were all strange amusement equipment.

There are common small wooden horses, small trains and the like, and there are some things with strange shapes and special names, such as interstellar crossing, extreme drifting or something. Turning to the back pages, Yu Miao suddenly threw down the booklet, covered her mouth and ran out.

"Yo, is our company's brochure poisonous? Or is Master Yu pregnant? Now the little girl, one by one unmarried and pregnant, no wonder you can't get into a big company, this is a place to raise our baby?"

"Are you still satisfied with your new apprentice? The curly-haired woman put her hand on Silomi shoulder.

"Li Da Beauty, the little girl has just graduated, you can accumulate some virtue by yourself, and go back to your seat to stinky beauty. Haha, what kind of perfume is this? Smoke me to death. Si Ruomi smiled and pushed Li Yan away, got up and walked to Yu Miao's desk.

Before the booklet on the table could be closed, the pages were impressively printed with the words "Dream Horror", and the picture below was a bloody model of a hanged ghost, with his tongue pulled to the ground and a pair of green eyes sticking out.

Si Ruomi frowned: "This little girl can't be scared and vomit, right?"
