Chapter 07: A Word Awakens the Dreamer
Liu Bufan waited too long and accidentally fell asleep, until a ringtone woke him up, he took the mobile phone from the bedside table, it showed a landline number in H City, Liu Bufan asked in a confused voice: "Hey, hello, who is it?"
A soft female voice came from the other side: "Hello, is it Mr. Liu Bufan?"
Liu Bufan immediately sat up, cheered up and replied: "Hello, it's me, I'm me, I'm Liu Bufan"
The other party then said: "Mr. Liu, hello, my side is Wu Qin of the Human Resources Department of XX Construction Engineering Co., Ltd., we saw your resume submitted to our company on the Internet, did you vote for it?"
Liu Bufan finally waited for a call from a company, was very happy, and immediately replied: "Yes, this resume was submitted to your company by myself, I am looking for a job recently, does your company have a suitable position?"
The opposite side replied: "After your resume has been analyzed by our company, I think you meet the requirements of our company to recruit construction workers, please bring the relevant information, and come to our company for an interview at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and I will send the relevant requirements and address to your mailbox." ”
Liu Bufan happily returned: "Okay, okay, I will be on time, thank you, thank you", and hung up the phone after speaking. Liu Bufan clenched his fists in his hands and kept waving, and he kept shouting: "Oye, Oye."
Liu Bufan immediately dialed Song Tianyang's phone again, and Song Tianyang's voice came from the other side: "Bufan, what's wrong"
Liu Bufan said excitedly: "Tianyang, I succeeded, a company called me, they said that I met their company's recruitment requirements, and asked me to go for an interview at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning." ”
After Song Tianyang heard this, he was also happy for Liu Bufan from the bottom of his heart, this was the first time Liu Bufan called him "Tianyang", when he was a freshman, the two were not very familiar, Liu Bufan called him by his full name, after the sophomore year, the two became familiar, Liu Bufan kept calling him "Old Song", Song Tianyang knew that Liu Bufan was really happy, but he preferred Liu Bufan to call him "Old Song", which sounded cordial.
Song Tianyang also said happily: "Congratulations, you prepare well, I will invite you to a big dinner tomorrow if you succeed in the interview",
Liu Bufan said in a formal tone: "Tianyang, thank you, I'll invite you to dinner when I come back tomorrow."
"If you want to ask for a fart, you just need to prepare well", Song Tianyang reprimanded.
Liu Bufan took out a set of suits made for 500 yuan in college from the suitcase, he only wore this suit twice, once in college, and when he was interviewed by the first company, he couldn't wear it later, and now he wears it just right, Liu Bufan's current figure is very well-proportioned, just that kind of thin dress, undressing has a fleshy feeling, Liu Bufan put it on and admired it, and reluctantly took it off and put it in the closet.
Liu Bufan then opened the email sent by Wu Qin, and saw that the requirements for the interview were to bring the original and photocopy of the graduation certificate, degree certificate, ID card, if there is an award certificate, and finally the address of their company. After Liu Bufan prepared all the materials, he began to think about tomorrow's interview, and he thought about a series of reasonable answers to the questions that might be asked tomorrow until he was familiar with it. When Song Tianyang came back in the evening, he bought some beer, and the two of them were really happy, and they directly talked about the wine, talked about the past and the present, and imagined the future.
The next day, Song Tianyang went to work early as usual, Liu Bufan set the alarm clock at 7 o'clock, he came downstairs as yesterday, started morning exercise and ran until 8:30, bought breakfast, went home to take a shower, ate breakfast, changed into shirts and suits, brought materials, and set off for interviews.
Liu Bufan came to the 13th floor where Wu Qin's company was located, and asked Wu Qin at the front desk, and the little girl at the front desk indicated Wu Qin's location to him, Liu Bufan found Wu Qin according to the instructions, but Wu Qin asked him to wait in the lounge first, and the leader was still interviewing. 10 minutes later, Wu Qin came to call Liu Bufan and told him that he could go in for an interview, Liu Bufan followed Wu Qin to the conference room, Liu Bufan suddenly became a little nervous, it stands to reason that after all these years of experience, he should be able to achieve honor and disgrace, but this interview is too important for him, so he can't help but be nervous.
Liu Bufan came to the conference room, there were two middle-aged people sitting opposite, both of them were slightly bloated, and the one on the right was wearing glasses, Wu Qin began to introduce Liu Bufan from left to right: "This is Sun Wu, the manager of our company's human resources department, and this is Li Tianying, the manager of our company's project management department."
Liu Bufan bowed to them solemnly and said, "Manager Sun is good, Manager Li is good." Both of them leaned back in their chairs and glanced at Liu Bufan, Sun Wu said casually: "Mr. Liu, you can introduce yourself to us first", Liu Bufan began to explain his university and major, school situation, and work experience after graduation to them in an orderly manner, but the experience of being struck by lightning must not have been said.
Next, Sun Wu asked Liu Bufan a series of questions, such as why did he come to their company to apply for a job? Why did he resign from his previous company? What advantages did he have for the job he was looking for now? Liu Bufan replied one by one according to the answers he had prepared, and after hearing this, a smile began to appear on Sun Wu's face, and he turned his head to ask Li Tianying beside him what his opinion was.
Li Tianying glanced at him from Liu Bufan coming in, and he kept staring at his resume, and he didn't seem to be interested in the question and answer between the two, until Sun Wu asked him a question, he didn't stop until Sun Wu asked him a question, held his glasses with his hand, and stared at Liu Bufan, Liu Bufan had already calmed down, and when he stared at him, he inexplicably began to get nervous again. Li Tianying leaned closer to the table, propped his hands on the table, hugged the back of his right hand with his left hand, and asked, "Your name is Liu Bufan, right, are you the person who was struck by lightning as reported in the news some time ago?"
When Liu Bufan heard this, he was shocked, this is terrible, I didn't expect to be recognized, Liu Bufan knew that it was impossible to lie and not admit it, after all, it was easy to ask for proof of this matter, so he could only reply a little helplessly: "Yes, your eyes are like torches, I am the Liu Bufan who was struck by lightning." ”
Sun Wu stared at Liu Bufan with a stunned face after hearing this, while Li Tianying showed a playful smile, as if to show that he had seen through Liu Bufan's disguise, and then his face began to turn serious and said: "Mr. Liu, then we have to say sorry, we can't hire you."
In the end, he heard the sentence he didn't want to hear, Liu Bufan's heart was a little heavy, but he didn't want to give up like this, so he hurriedly asked: "Manager Li, I've been doing this for so long, everyone has almost forgotten about it, and besides, I've changed companies now, and the media can't find me anymore, and they won't disturb my work, so you really can't think about it anymore?"
The corners of Li Tianying's mouth showed a victorious smile and said, "I'm afraid Mr. Liu hasn't figured out the reason for his rejection yet!"
"What is the reason," Liu Bufan asked.
Li Tianying began to explain: "If I guessed correctly, you should not have resigned from the previous company, but was fired by them, after you were struck by lightning, it was a very unlucky thing for the original company, they need to be responsible for you, and there will be a series of troubles caused by the payment of compensation, social impact, industry status, etc., but you miraculously survived, it is a great good thing for him, the trouble they are afraid of is not the media, but you, you are their biggest burden, the burden they are most anxious to get rid of." ”
"I'm a burden, why?" asked Liu Bufan incomprehensibly.
Li Tianying explained again: " Because in the eyes of ordinary people, being struck by lightning is a certain death, you can survive is a fluke, but there are also some appalling, like a miracle, although you survived, but as long as you are in their company for a day, you are an uncertain factor, I don't know which day will explode, blow them up, simply put, your body may have something at any time or die, this is just an example, then they will suffer huge losses, they don't want to and dare not bear, so they are in a hurry to dismiss you; If there is a problem in your body one day, then we will be responsible for you, this is what we don't want to see, and we can avoid this hidden danger in advance. ”
After listening to Li Tianying's analysis, Sun Wu also quickly nodded yes, Liu Bufan was stunned by Li Tianying, he thought that the company was afraid of the media and dismissed him, and he was grateful to the company for paying him medical expenses, but now he knows that he is in a hurry to get rid of it as a burden, and he is also curious why he can't receive a reply after submitting so many resumes, it turns out that they all recognize themselves, and Li Tianying thinks about the same point, Liu Bufan feels that he is being treated as a fool.
