"Are you Liu Lan?" Wang Shiyi's eyes softened, and so did his voice.

"Yes, Liu Lan is my Chinese name, and my English name is Anthony. Liu Lan nodded and added.

"Forty years old this year?" Wang Shiyi asked a non-marginal word, he knew that with an interview conversation, he wanted to understand the candidate's experience and strength, and decide whether a candidate would stay or not, it was really more difficult than a fortune teller, so he found a headhunter, and had done an in-depth investigation of the candidate's background in advance, and he had already made a clear judgment before this interview, so this interview was not the most important, and it could even be said to be a formality.

He starts with homely activities, and this kind of atmosphere will make the interviewee feel relaxed.

"Yes, I'm forty years old. Liu Lan replied lightly, in front of the young boss, he seemed to mind his age.

R&D personnel and beautiful women have something in common, they are both a group of people who rely on eating youth to make a living.

In fact, for a R&D person, after the age of 40, his thinking has been solidified, his knowledge structure has become outdated, and his ability to innovate will be greatly reduced.

This phenomenon is especially evident in the ever-changing high-tech industry.

It's an embarrassing question, and asking about his age is no less than picking up a painful scar on him.

Just like a beautiful woman in the twilight, she cares about age very much, when you ask her how old she is, she will definitely sigh the passage of time and the aging of her face.

"Forty years old, still very young, I am also on the way to Bensi, born in eighty-one years, Chinese New Year's Eve six years old today. Seeing that Liu Lan was a little concerned about his age, Wang Shiyi said with a smile, and after speaking, he glanced at his gray hair slightly, picked up the coffee cup, and took a leisurely sip.

"Forty years old, not young. "Liu Lan is a real person, forty years old, in ancient times, it was not a confused year, he himself had already seen all this.

"Is it?" Liu Lan's emotion made Wang Shiyi feel that the candidate in front of him was real! Unlike ordinary sea turtles, who like to brag and pretend to be tough.

"For those of us who do technology, and we are still doing product development at the age of 40, it is very difficult to find a job, unless we have already achieved a management position, and we have to sit in the position of department head and manager, for an Asian person like me, it is still very difficult to develop in a company in the United States, racial prejudice is innate, and the color of our skin cannot change their ingrained thinking. Liu Lan's words were full of sincerity.

"So you're willing to choose to return to China?" asked Wang Shiyi after taking a sip of coffee.

"Yes, the country's economy is growing very fast and there are more opportunities. Liu Lan did not hide his embarrassing situation abroad, and this sincerity made Wang Shiyi interested.

"Now that life expectancy has increased, the age of 40 is an important turning point in life and an age when you can start over. After Wang Shiyi finished speaking, he deliberately shook his black hair, which made him look even younger and more energetic.

After a pause, Wang Shiyi continued: "You can rest assured, our company's platform is very large, and now we are on the eve of the company's GEM listing, when it is listed, we will complete a large round of financing, when the company's product line will be richer, and the production capacity will be doubled, we need your experience, you can also rejuvenate the light of your life and re-show your professional style." Wang Shiyi's words are full of moving parts.

"I hope that this return to China will allow me to re-plan my career and start the second spring of my life. When Liu Lan said this, the two black beads hidden behind the gold-wire glasses looked a little glowing.

"How long have you been abroad?" Wang Shiyi was clearly interested in Liu Lan's overseas work experience.

"I have been abroad for 13 years, and I have participated in many high-power fiber laser R&D projects in Silicon Valley, California, and my experience is a valuable asset, and I believe that I can help you develop higher power lasers. Liu Lan said as he fell into a memory.

"So, you went to the United States in 2004?" Wang Shiyi's voice suddenly raised by half a degree, because of surprise, his eyes widened, and after he finished speaking, his whole body stiffened in the air.

Wang Shiyi has read Liu Lan's resume, but he didn't notice that he went abroad at this point in time, when the candidate's resume is handed in, he usually quickly scans a few glances and finds the words he wants to see, if there is, even if it is passed, for Liu Lan's resume, when Wang Shiyi saw "California Silicon Valley" and saw the key words of "R&D engineer", he had already decided to meet this candidate, and the other sentences in the resume were not important to him.

"Yes, I left China in 2004, the year I left the city of Shenzhen for California, and started my family's life in a foreign country. Liu Lan said calmly.

"2004?Shenzhen?" Wang Shiyi's heart shook.

"Yes, I left Shenzhen on October 1, 2004 for Silicon Valley, California, when I was 27 years old, which was a high-spirited age. Liu Lan fell into deep thought.

"Do you know He Xueyi? She also went to Silicon Valley, California on the National Day of 2004. Wang Shiyi didn't know why, and such a sentence suddenly popped out of his mouth.

"Of course I do. Liu Lan replied, but his eyes were suddenly covered with dark clouds, and through the gold wire glasses, it looked blurry, and the glasses made Wang Shiyi suddenly think of the protective lenses of the laser cutting machine that was working in the hardware factory in the dust.

"Do you know her?" Wang Shiyi was very surprised, this world is so small, this He Xueyi, thirteen years ago, as if she had evaporated from the world, she didn't expect that the interview candidate in front of her actually knew her.

"He Xueyi is my lover, and we went to California together thirteen years ago. Liu Lan's words surprised Wang Shiyi even more, Wang Shiyi hurriedly picked up the coffee cup, completely lost the calmness of taking a sip in the past, and took a big sip loudly, when he put the cup down, his hand accidentally touched the button of the lifting platform, and the executive platform was ordered to make a "buzzing" sound, and slowly rose up, completely isolating the two.

When Liu Lan saw Wang Shiyi's lush hair again, he only heard Wang Shiyi say three "I'm sorry!" in succession.

"My hand was misplaced and I touched the button on the lift table. Wang Shiyi explained sincerely.

"It doesn't matter! It's automated, but it's often not controlled by the human will. Liu Lan hurriedly replied.

"Is He Xueyi still in California?" Wang Shiyi was obviously not interested in the topic of automatic classes, he was concerned about He Xueyi's current situation, and even whether she was in a happy mood, so he asked eagerly.

"Yes, she's still in California. When Liu Lan said this, his voice was low and even sad.

"So, next, you plan to come to work in my company, but leave her abroad alone?" Wang Shiyi said with confusion and even a little anger.

"Boss, you misunderstood, she can't come, and in 2010, she stayed on American soil forever. Liu Lan choked up and said, behind the gold wire glasses, tears flashed, is it guilt, is it pain, is it missing?

After he finished speaking, he gently took off his glasses, took out a handkerchief, wiped his tears, and then put the glasses back on, and said fixedly: "I'm sorry!"

"What the hell is wrong with her?" Wang Shiyi asked loudly, he himself couldn't believe that the voice came from himself, and when he finished saying this, he felt that his tone of voice was inappropriate, so he said in a soft tone: "Why can she only stay in the United States? Is it because she has violated American law and is imprisoned for life?"

"No, she is a law-abiding person, how could she violate the cold laws of the United States?" Speaking of this, Liu Lan's voice was a little choked, "He Xueyi went to heaven, she died of dystocia, we have been in the United States for six years, we have applied for green cards, we thought we could live here for a long time, so we had plans to have a child, I didn't expect her to have a difficult birth, I am sorry for her!" After Liu Lan finished speaking, he took off his glasses, hid his face and cried loudly.

At this time, all the past events, like tears, burst out from Liu Lan's brain, which had bred some Huafa.
