Chapter 38 A Day Tour in Guangzhou

On Wednesday and Thursday, Xu Xincheng was not with them, not even for lunch and dinner, and their respective project teams were more enthusiastic than him.

Peter, David, and Josh's project team leaders and several supervisors accompanied them to lunch at noon and invited them to Hunan cuisine on Wednesday night and Hui cuisine on Thursday night, Rose and Lee's group invited them to Chaoshan hot pot on Wednesday night and Chongqing hot pot on Thursday night, and Owen and Jogesh's group invited them to eat Lu cuisine on Wednesday night and Su cuisine on Thursday night.

In the past two days, Xu Xincheng has been busy with other affairs, but he goes to their office every morning to inquire about their work and give them necessary support when they need it.

At 3 p.m. on Thursday, Xu Xincheng completed a report on seven interviewees, who analyzed and scored on leadership, team spirit, communication skills, personality and character traits. After the last inspection, he sent the report to Manager Zhang and General Manager Li through the company's mailbox.

On Friday afternoon, Manager Zhang arranged two rounds of interviews. General Manager Li asked Xu Xincheng to participate in these two rounds of interviews.

The first round of interviewers consisted of five people, including Manager Zhang, Xu Xincheng, and the leaders of the three project teams. In the second round of interviews, there were three people, namely General Manager Li, Manager Zhang and Xu Xincheng.

After the second round of interviews, in General Manager Li's office, Manager Zhang first praised him, saying that his first and second day of the itinerary was very good, and it can be seen that the seven interviewees have a lot of understanding of the company and Guangzhou, and show great interest and willingness to work in the company and live in Guangzhou.

Then, after consulting with the three project leaders, General Manager Li and Manager Zhang decided to hire Rose, Peter, Josh, Jogesh and Lee.

Subsequently, Manager Zhang and the five signed a letter of intent to hire.

Saturday morning, 8:10 a.m.

Xu Xincheng arrived at the hotel where the seven were staying with the company's business car, and today was their last day in Guangzhou, where they would take an 11 p.m. flight back to the United States.

His only task today is to accompany them to have a good time and take a day trip to Guangzhou.

Of course, Rose and the other five people who were hired were very happy, and they came back four weeks later to officially join the company. David and Owen, who unfortunately failed to make the election, were very frustrated, they didn't want to go out, but under Rose's persuasion, they finally decided to go out together.

They all said that they like Guangzhou very much, they like China very much, and if they have the opportunity in the future, they will apply for jobs in China again.

Xu Xincheng comforted them, and then added that he believes that in the next 10, 20, 30 years, and even the entire 21st century, China will develop steadily and sustainably, and there are many opportunities, and they are welcome to have the opportunity to try again in the future.

Today's first arrangement is to visit Yuexiu Park in Guangzhou.

Eight people took a car to the main entrance of Yuexiu Park on Jiefang North Road, YX District.

Xu Xincheng has mixed feelings for this place. When he was a child, when he first came to Guangzhou that winter, he and his parents stood here for about 30 minutes in the bitter cold wind, the second time he came here with Zhou Dedao and other classmates shortly after the start of his freshman year, and the third time he came here with Bai Xiuli......

Eight people entered the park from the main gate, first walked around the green shade and beautiful North Lake, and then walked around the ancient city wall of the Ming Dynasty, the square gun tower, Zhenhai Tower and other scenic spots.

In order to be a good tour guide today, last night, Xu Xincheng checked a large amount of information, translated it into English, memorized it all, and introduced the details of each scenic spot and famous historical allusions to them on the way to accompany them on the sightseeing, and the seven of them listened with great interest.

In this way, the eight people walked around the park happily and easily for more than an hour.

Finally, the eight people climbed a hill, which is a must-see attraction for tourists who come to Yuexiu Park, and there is a famous sculpture at home and abroad, the iconic sculpture of Guangzhou, the sculpture of five sheep on the top of the mountain.

I saw five stone carved goats of different sizes, different shapes, vivid and vivid shapes, the head sheep located in the highest place looked far away, the sheep hair was slightly whisked, the mouth was tied to the ears of grain, and the other four sheep surrounded its body, intimate snuggling, full of interest.

He introduced why this sculpture is so famous, and told the mythical story of the legend of the five sheep in the ancient city of Guangzhou.

The eight people took a lot of photos in front of the Five Sheep sculpture.

About 20 minutes later, Xu Xincheng led them out of the park through a small gate on the west side, and soon came to the Museum of the Nanyue King of the Western Han Dynasty, which was only 100 meters away across the road.

The museum houses a variety of stoneware, pottery, bronze and jade artifacts, many of which have a history of more than 2,000 years, and the most famous cultural relics are the silk jade clothes and the golden seal of Emperor Wen of Nanyue.

While viewing the cultural relics, he whispered to them about the ancient history of Guangzhou.

Out of the museum, a group of eight people walked south for a while and came to the Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall.

In the memorial hall, he led seven people to visit a large number of precious cultural relics and historical materials, and introduced to them the modern development history of Guangzhou.

The Nanyue King Museum and Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall are the second items on today's itinerary.

Xu Xincheng knows that as technical elites, especially the AI elites in Silicon Valley in the United States, they usually only pay attention to the present and the future, and they probably have never cared much about the past, and before, they will not care about China's past and Guangzhou's past, but he feels that if they want to work and live here for a long time in the future, then it is of great benefit to them to know some past history.

To like a city and a country, you must first understand them, and the best way to understand them is to start with their past.

At noon, Xu Xincheng took everyone to walk around Beijing Road, and then went to the food street next to it, and came to a well-known Chaoshan restaurant, where he wanted them to taste another famous Chinese delicacy, Chaoshan cuisine.

He ordered Chaoshan seafood casserole porridge, Chaoshan beef ball broth, lion's head braised goose, braised foie gras, Chaoshan braised pig's feet and other eight dishes and one soup.

Naturally, everyone ate and licked their fingers and praised it.

As he ate, David was saddened, and with a sad face, he said, "I am going to miss the food here so much. Oh my god! I didn’t just lose the good chance of working here, that is not the worst thing, the worst thing is that I lost the chance to live here, to have all the good food here.” ("I'm going to miss the food here.") Oh my God, not only did I lose the good opportunity to work here, but it wasn't the worst thing, the worst thing was that I lost the opportunity to live here, I lost the opportunity to eat all the food here. ”)

He took a sip of the broth, licked his mouth, his expression suddenly became serious, and he said, "Yes, I have just decided, even just for the food here, I am going to find every chance to come back here." ("Yes, I've just decided, even if it's just for the food, I'm going to look for every opportunity to come back here.") ”)

He paused and said in a firm tone, "Yes, I am going to come back." ("Yes, I will definitely be back.") ”)

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, everyone's laughter was good-natured, and they all encouraged him to say that as long as he worked hard, he could achieve this goal.

Xu Xincheng also smiled kindly, and he thought to himself: "It seems that Chinese cuisine is a strong attraction for foreign talents, and it is definitely a powerful soft power for our country." ”
