Chapter 25: Everyday Life
A new week has begun.
Hongfei's work efficiency has always been very high, and it was only announced last Friday that it would make major adjustments to the organizational structure of the AI division and the jobs of some personnel, and it has been implemented vigorously since this Monday.
In addition, the group headquarters transferred 35 people from Shenzhen, which is only the first batch of people, and the total number will reach more than 300 people. General Manager Li said at the meeting that the headquarters should concentrate all the company's AI-related personnel and technologies in the Hongfei AI Division, so as to form a joint force, in order to achieve greater breakthroughs and development in a short period of time. In this matter, he designated Xu Xin as the first person in charge, and was fully responsible for the overall planning and coordination of the work of all relevant departments.
In order to accommodate more staff, it is necessary to increase office desks, office chairs and computers, etc., in addition, according to each person's professional expertise and ability, it is also necessary to arrange them to enter the department or project team that can give full play to their talents, and finally, they need to arrange their accommodation, the first ten days, they will be arranged to stay in the business hotel that has signed a cooperation agreement with the company, and during this period, they will be assisted to find a suitable rental apartment near the company.
As the first person in charge of this matter, Xu Xincheng needs to coordinate and coordinate multiple departments such as the administration department, human resources department, computer department, and R&D department.
The office building where Hongfei AI Division is located is the largest office building in Guangzhou Pearl River 111 Creative Park, the building has 5 floors, each floor covers an area of about 7000 square meters, and the current formal employees are 2321 people, and the workstations are close to saturation, adding more than 300 people is barely possible, but if it will be increased in the future, it is necessary to consider renting another office building.
The above is just one of the many tasks he is responsible for, almost every day, General Manager Li will delegate one or more new tasks to him, and almost every day, he has a matter that must be dealt with and solved immediately.
All departments need to carry out drastic rectification, and the department's business needs to achieve leapfrog development, and General Manager Li's workload and work pressure have increased by one or two times at once, which also means that as an assistant, Xu Xincheng's workload and work pressure have also increased by one or two times.
However, he told himself that the greater the responsibility of the work, the greater the value he can create, for himself and for the society. As for the increased workload and work pressure, it should be resolved by improving one's own work ability and efficiency, through better overall planning and coordination, and through better division of labor and collaboration with colleagues.
The week passed quickly after an intense and hectic work.
During this time, Lucy did not call him, not until Saturday. Xu Xincheng didn't want to bother her, in fact, even if he called, he didn't know what to say.

Sunday is here again, and it's finally time to get a good rest and relax.
However, for Xu Xincheng, the so-called rest is not a big sleep, even on weekends or holidays, he will get up at 6 o'clock in the morning, this is a habit that has been cultivated for more than ten years, this habit can no longer be changed, and he does not want to change.
Relaxation is not about playing games.
When he was in junior high school, like many of his friends and classmates, he was once attracted to the virtual world in the game, but he soon discovered:
First, he has no talent for playing games and has no possibility of becoming a master in this field;
Second, playing games does have some fun, but compared to his first hobby of reading, which he has developed since childhood, it is much less fun.
Thirdly, you can learn something from games, but there are too few things to learn compared to reading books.
Fourth, and most importantly, playing a game is too time-consuming and energy-consuming, and it's not worth investing so much time and so much energy to have fun and learn so little.
For him, continuous self-improvement and self-improvement are his core needs, and he knows very well that he must constantly improve himself and improve himself in the fastest and most efficient way, so he does not like the entertainment and learning method of playing games, which has a large input and low output.
The so-called relaxation is not a trip to the scenic spots around Guangzhou or other cities.
He actually likes to travel very much, the so-called "travel thousands of miles, read thousands of books", he knows, from the journey, can learn a lot, to the wide world to see is his dream on his sixth birthday, but travel needs to consume a lot of two things that he is now very scarce, time and money, so, travel this matter has to wait for later.
Moreover, he knows very well in his heart that it is estimated that this "later" means "a long, long time later", and that kind of life is too far away from him now!
Now he can only relax his body and mind in other ways, in addition to reading books and running exercises, he also likes to watch TV series and movies, which is his third hobby, which is the most important relaxation and entertainment on weekends and holidays.
On weekends and holidays, after completing the planned reading time, Xu Xincheng will spend hours watching TV dramas, of course, he only watches those high-quality works that are made with heart, and his favorite works are those that have rich ideological connotations, are full of positive energy, can learn valuable things from them, and can get useful inspiration from them.
Except for some well-produced Chinese mainland TV dramas, Hong Kong and Taiwan dramas and British dramas, he generally only watches American dramas, and only watches the best works among them.
Over the years, his personal favorite American dramas include "24 Hours", "Edge of Crisis", "Suspect Tracking", "The Big Bang Theory", "Silicon Valley", "Female Secretary of State", "Proud Wife" and so on.
When a Hollywood commercial blockbuster is released, he will invite three or five friends to watch a movie together, and like most of his peers, he also likes to watch sci-fi commercial blockbusters produced by companies such as Marvel and DC, but in contrast, he has admired the spirit of science since he was a child, and he likes to watch science works with rigorous ideas and logical logic since he was a child, and prefers those films with more hard science, such as "Interstellar", "The Martian", "Gravity" and so on.
The reason why he likes to watch American dramas and Hollywood blockbusters is because he can continue to improve his spoken English, because he can really learn a lot from them, and because he can follow the protagonist in and out of various scenes, visit scenic spots around the world together, and even visit some wonders and wonders made with special effects imagined out of thin air.

Yesterday was Saturday, and if it weren't for the urgent and important work, he would have worked overtime until about six o'clock on Saturday.
Yesterday, he got off work at six o'clock, rode a shared bicycle directly home after work, and when passing by the vegetable market next to the community, he went in to buy half a catty of wonton, a small group of hand-rolled noodles and half a catty of cabbage, and also bought eight apples in the fruit store, and returned home at half past six.
After returning home, he cooked wonton noodles and clear water choy sum, and after eating dinner with relish, he sat down at his desk, opened his laptop, watched American dramas, and watched until 9 o'clock in the evening, and then read a book for an hour and a half.
At 6:00 this morning, Xu Xincheng got up on time, and after getting up, he first freshened up, then changed into a sports suit, put on running shoes, brought a mobile phone and headphones, and came to a small park near the community to run and exercise while listening to audio books.
About an hour later, he returned to the community, came to the small restaurant he frequented, ordered a rice roll and a bowl of egg and lean porridge, finished breakfast, went home, took a comfortable hot bath, changed into clean and loose plain clothes, read a book for two hours, and then watched American dramas for a while.
That's how he spends his weekends and holidays, almost every weekend and holiday.
In the eyes of others, it is likely that this kind of life is very ordinary, very monotonous, and can even be said to be a little boring and boring, but he has been highly self-disciplined since he was a child, but he feels that this is the best way to relax, rest and entertain.
