Xu Xincheng was born in an eighth-tier city in the mainland, which is a very ordinary town with a permanent population of only about 100,000.
His parents were ordinary teachers and staff members in a small town middle school, his father was a handyman at the school, and his mother was a librarian.
He knew since he was a child that only by studying hard, he will have the opportunity to gain a foothold in this society in the future, so he has spent all his time, energy and mind on learning since he was a child, and after more than ten years of hard work and hard work, he finally reaped fruitful results, and in the college entrance examination, he was admitted to one of the best universities in GD Province with the second place in the county, Guangdong University of Foreign Studies.
Xu Xincheng originally thought that after being admitted to university, he would finally be more relaxed, but he soon realized that the hard work and hard work of the past ten years had only won him a ticket, and he was just a player who won the competition in the 8th-tier city.
He realized that this was a new beginning, a new challenge, an even greater challenge.
On the first day of school, he found a huge gap between him and the best classmates who were born and raised in the big city, although the college entrance examination score was very high, but he still had a big gap compared with the best students in terms of knowledge, vision, conversation, skills, and practical experience.
He is so strong that he does not allow himself to be inferior to others, his goal is to become the best version of himself, and his goal is to become one of the best competitors in this high-level arena in Guangzhou.
So, from the first day of his freshman year, he entered a state of study that was no less intense than that of his junior year of high school, and every day in addition to sleeping and eating, he spent all his time, energy and mind on learning and self-improvement.
In order to increase his knowledge, expand his horizons, improve his conversation and cultivation, and upgrade his thinking mode, he formulated a reading plan for himself, he required himself to read at least 500 Chinese and English books every year, and then selected 100 books with higher value from these 500 books for reading through, and then selected the most valuable 30 books from these 100 books for intensive reading.
Although his major is business English, he reads books on other subjects, such as marketing, brand marketing, business management, etc., and he is hungry for knowledge every day.
Among all the books, he is most interested in various professional books related to the Internet and AI, and of course, various popular science books and science fiction novels. As soon as he was free, he ran to the library, and during his four years of college, he became the first frequent visitor to the school library.
In order to enhance his skills in computer and Internet skills, he consulted and learned from the best of his classmates, and took every opportunity to specialize in and practice.
In order to accumulate more social practice experience, he actively participated in various activities organized by the college and the school, and also applied for the officer of the organization department of the college.
He participated in several corporate internship programs, and also used weekends and holidays to work part-time off-campus, firstly, to earn some pocket money, and secondly, to increase more social practice experience.
Xu Xincheng's hard work and hard work have once again won him luscious and fruitful fruits, and he has won various awards and awards, and has been rated as an outstanding student for three consecutive years and won a scholarship for three consecutive years.
However, compared with these honors and awards, what is more important for him is the great improvement of ability and quality in all aspects, after three years of hard work and hard work, he has grown into a highly competitive player in the high-level arena of Guangzhou, a player with great potential, and he has confidence in his future, his future in this big city.
Towards the end of the second half semester of his junior year, Xu Xincheng saw a news report on the Internet about Hongfei's establishment of an AI division in Guangzhou, and he immediately realized that this was an opportunity that he had dreamed of for a long time and had been preparing for a long time, so he found the recruitment information as soon as possible and carefully checked the recruitment content inside.
Although the major was not right and he still had a year to graduate, he still resolutely submitted his resume, because it was the best career he wanted, so he had to try it anyway.
Impressed by the enthusiastic cover letter and excellent performance in school, the managers and supervisors of the human resources department successfully passed the audition and got the opportunity to interview.
At the time of the interview, he knew and understood the Internet and AI industry no less than his competitors who specialized in computers, coupled with his great passion for the Internet and AI, coupled with the great potential shown during the three rounds of interviews, he managed to impress all the interviewers.
In the end, he stood out from more than 10,000 applicants, defeated many undergraduate and graduate students who had completed their studies, and became one of the last 20 winners, becoming one of the very few players who won from this fierce competition, and becoming one of the first reserve cadres of Hongfei AI Division.
From the first day of the summer vacation of his junior year, Xu Xincheng began his work and life in Hongfei's AI division.
He knows that this is another beginning, a new challenge, an even greater challenge.
He's just winning the ticket to play at a higher level of arena again, his goal is not just to get in, not just to get involved, his real goal is to win the game, he wants to be the real winner, to win the ultimate reward that he wants the most, and that reward is to make a home in this big city and live a decent and comfortable middle-class life in this big city.
For this goal, for the award that only the big city will give to the winners, he works hard every day, works diligently every day, and works hard every day.
Almost every day, he is the first to arrive at the company and the last person to leave, the company's standard working time is nine o'clock in the morning, but he always arrives at the company at about half past eight.
As soon as he arrives at the office, he opens the window to let fresh air into the office, so that when other colleagues arrive, they can start their day in the fresh air.
After that, he would go to the pantry to make himself a cup of green tea with a simple tea bag, and then go back to his quiet office, where he would gather his thoughts while drinking tea, review yesterday's work, and arrange the day's work and make a plan.
The apprenticeship period is usually three months, but his performance is particularly good, and as a reward, the company signed a formal employment contract with him two months later, turning him into a regular employee.
Only four months later, because of his excellent work performance, he was personally promoted to secretary to the general manager by the head of the company, General Manager Li, and became one of the important members of the staff team of the general manager's office.
There are six senior clerks, three secretaries and one assistant in the staff team of the general manager's office, and this staff team of 10 people is an important comprehensive management team of the company, responsible for assisting the general manager in managing the company and assisting him in handling all the daily affairs of the company.
Xu Xincheng is one of the three secretaries, and the three have equal positions, a clear division of labor, and each performs his own duties.
In the year and a half as the secretary of the general manager, he continued to work diligently and conscientiously, continued to use every opportunity to continuously improve his work ability, continued to insist on continuous learning in his spare time, and constantly improved himself.
The most commendable thing is that he is motivated, humble and benevolent, honest and honest, and he has won unanimous praise from almost all his colleagues, and everyone praises his work and character.
