A new week has begun.

At 8:25 a.m. on Monday morning, Mr. Xu arrived at the office, and as he walked through the lobby, he saw seven foreigners sitting around a long bar table, drinking coffee and chatting, dressed in typical American techno-elite attire, plaid shirts with jeans and sneakers, or cultural shirts with jeans and sneakers.

He recognized them immediately, they were seven interviewers who flew from Silicon Valley in the United States, and these seven people were selected from more than 300 AI elites recommended by the executive search company he cooperated with to enter the final interview stage.

The company purchased round-trip air tickets for them, covered the cost of their accommodation during their stay in China, and gave them a subsidy of US$200 per person per day.

The hiring of AI elites from Silicon Valley was a plan that was determined and implemented three months ago, but the number of recruits was 15 per year, and now, the number of recruits will increase significantly, and after the company's headquarters has identified AI as the highest development strategy, more money will be invested in the AI division, and they can recruit more Silicon Valley elites.

The seven of them are the first batch, and according to the new plan, a group of people will be arranged for interviews every month for the next six months.

Last Wednesday, General Manager Li and Manager Zhang told Xu Xincheng that he was responsible for entertaining them on behalf of the company these days, especially on the first day, in addition to introducing them to the company and products, they also needed to arrange some time to take them to visit the downtown area of Guangzhou, so that they would have the opportunity to have an in-depth understanding of the situation in Guangzhou on the first day, and have a good first impression of Guangzhou on the first day.

Manager Zhang also told him to learn as much as possible about each person, especially each person's character and character, during the process of accompaniment.

She said: "A person's professional skills and abilities can be clearly understood in the interview and test, but a person's character and character can only be seen in ordinary life and daily interactions. ”

Manager Zhang also told him to publish a report this Thursday afternoon, in which each interviewee should be evaluated and scored in detail and objectively, and this report will become an important reference for the company to hire them, so this work is very important.

Xu Xincheng couldn't help but feel a little emotional, two years ago, he himself was still the subject of the interview, he still remembers the scene when he walked into the office of the human resources department, and still remembers the nervous mood at that time, when the person sitting opposite him for the interview was Manager Zhang. And today, I have transformed myself into an interviewer with her to interview others, which really has a lot of emotion.

He has always respected Manager Zhang, not only because she is an expert in the field of human resources, has a very rich work experience, and is also very humble and kind, but also because Manager Zhang is the first noble person in his career, if she hadn't screened his job application resume from tens of thousands of resumes two years ago, sent him into the interview process, and selected him from hundreds of people in the interview, he would not be able to work here today.

And he has always been a person who knows how to repay his kindness, and he has always been a conscientious person, so he must go all out to do everything she explains, in terms of reasonableness, public and private.

Xu Xincheng came to the office, put down his backpack, opened his notebook, and flipped to the specific itinerary plan for the two days that he had written in it last Wednesday afternoon.

He has a strong ability to plan, organize, coordinate and co-ordinate since he was a child, when he was in college, he served as the organization minister of the college, organized some collective activities from time to time, and during the period of serving as the secretary of the general manager, he often organized and was responsible for some collective activities of the company, and was often responsible for receiving some important guests, so this matter was easy for him.

He took one last look at the schedule, thought about it carefully, made a small change to the itinerary, and then got up and went out the door, heading to the office of the administration department on the third floor.

According to the previous arrangement, the plane of the seven of them arrived at Guangzhou Airport at 5:50 this morning, and Director Li of the Administration Department was responsible for picking up the plane, and after receiving the people, Director Li sent them to the hotel where they stayed, checked them in, arranged for them to rest in the hotel, and then came from there, and after they arrived at the company, he was responsible for the reception.

Xu Xincheng came to the office of the Administration Department, and now there was still about half an hour before the start of work, and Director Li was the only one in the huge office, and I saw that she was nervously busy with something.

Director Li, full name Li Chunjing, a native of Xi'an, graduated from Guangdong University of Foreign Studies, majoring in administrative management.

She has gathered many advantages of Shaanxi girls, steady and vigorous, really diligent, free and confident personality, sincere and enthusiastic.

Five years ago, after graduating from university, she applied for a job at Hongfei's Shenzhen headquarters, and two years ago, at the beginning of the establishment of the AI division, she took the initiative to apply for a transfer to Guangzhou to work, she said, compared with Shenzhen, she prefers Guangzhou.

There are three reasons: first, she spent her four years of college in Guangzhou, second, she prefers the food, and third, and most importantly, her boyfriend in Shenzhen has also been transferred to Guangzhou.

"Senior sister, morning!" When no one else was present, Xu Xincheng would affectionately call her "Senior Sister", and only on formal occasions would he call her "Director Li".

Two years ago, after successfully passing three rounds of interviews, Xu Xincheng entered the company as a reserve cadre, and his first trainee job was a clerk in the administrative department, and the first boss he contacted was Senior Sister Li.

After successfully passing the probationary period and becoming a regular employee, under the company's arrangement, in just four months, like the other 19 reserve cadres, he worked in the marketing department, R&D department, human resources department, finance department and other departments.

This is a special arrangement of Manager Zhang, the purpose of which is to carry out the most rigorous test and training of 20 reserve cadres, including him, so that they can understand as much as possible about the operation of various departments of the company, and the ultimate goal is to train the best of them to become intermediate clerks or senior clerks in the general manager's staff team.

As a result, Xu Xincheng's work performance exceeded Manager Zhang's expectations, and his ability was also highly appreciated by General Manager Li, who stood out from 20 people, skipping the intermediate clerk and senior clerk, and was directly promoted to the general manager's secretary by General Manager Li.

In the first six months of working in the company, he was often with Senior Sister Li, the two of them had lunch together and chatted together, and if there was something he didn't understand at work, he would ask her for advice as soon as possible, and she would always teach him and guide him patiently.

She has been working in the company for five years, knows the company very well, has a lot of experience in administrative management, and has a lot of tips in daily work, all of which she shares with him without reservation.

This benefited him a lot, and it was one of the important reasons why he quickly got started soon after joining the company, quickly became a professional in his work, and was promoted to the secretary of the general manager in just half a year.

Xu Xincheng is very grateful to Senior Sister Li, in his mind, she is not only a senior sister in college, but also a senior sister in the workplace.

"Morning! Senior Sister Li raised her head and greeted her cordially and warmly.

The two are already as familiar as relatives, so there is no need for any politeness between the two of them. Xu Xincheng sat down on the chair in front of her desk and said, "Senior sister, why did you come here so early? According to the schedule we set before, those seven foreigners can arrive at the company at ten o'clock." ”

"Their plane arrived on time today, there were not many passengers at the airport early in the morning, they came out quickly, I received someone at 6:20 and arrived at the hotel around 7 o'clock.

After checking in, they only stayed in the room for half an hour, freshened up, changed their clothes, and said they were looking for a place to have coffee.

As you know, there is no café near the hotel, so you have to bring them directly to the company. We arrived around 8 o'clock and as soon as I arrived I made coffee for them at the bar.

I came to the office about 10 minutes ago, just made coffee, I didn't drink it, I received a call from Manager Zhao, he said that at nine o'clock there were five city leaders to come to the company to inspect, and he was still on a business trip in Foshan, and he would not be able to return to the company at three o'clock in the afternoon at the earliest, so I was responsible for arranging all matters to receive them.

This inspection was decided by them on an ad hoc basis, and we had not prepared at all before, so we had no choice but to prepare for it temporarily. ”

"That's right!

"I was worried that I couldn't do both, are you free now? Can you please go over and greet them now?"

Xu Xincheng did not hesitate for a moment and said, "Of course you can." We can't neglect our guests, and we can't damage our reputation as a country of etiquette. ”

"Great! I'll bother you! I'm not going to go with you, I really can't be separated. However, on the way to the company, I have already told them that after arriving at the company, the assistant of the person in charge of the company will personally receive them. ”

"It's fine. I'll just go myself. ”

"Thank you!"
