For many people in the 90s, laid-off workers meant the loss of dignity, the insult of personality, the confusion of the future, the test of character, the logic of life in the past was smashed by an invisible hammer, and everyone had to rely on their own cultural accumulation and education to step into the battlefield of Darwinism and re-accept the screening of society.

After Wang Lili learned the laid-off list, her mood gradually turned from disbelief at the beginning to anger, she even stayed in the office angrily and didn't even go back to eat lunch, those colleagues who were secretly glad to have escaped comforted her one by one and went home, at this time Wang Lili's anger gradually turned into frustration, and she had to accept this cruel reality.

So when Hu Yanan talked to her in the afternoon and said that her son's company was going to ask her to be the manager, Wang Lili immediately jumped up.

"Teacher Hu, don't make fun of me!"

Hu Yanan grabbed her by the window at the end of the corridor and whispered: "When did Mr. Hu ever make such a big joke with you?" What I said is true, a monthly salary of 15,000 yuan, five insurances and one housing fund, but the company has just opened, and the bonus is not available for the time being, are you willing?"

Wang Lili swallowed her saliva: "One thousand five, Mr. Hu, don't tease, don't you yourself only have less than 300 yuan a month? Why don't you go yourself?"

Hu Yanan smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I'm old, I don't have the courage to break through." But you are still young, and you have drive and momentum. ”

Hu Yanan looked at Wang Lili's shining gaze and said earnestly: "If it weren't for my son's willingness to pay such a high salary, Mr. Hu wouldn't dare to ask you for this request, I'm really afraid of delaying your job search, do you understand? But since the salary is so high, why don't you give it a try?"

Wang Lili's heart moved, licked her lips and said: "The salary is too high, I can't believe it, I feel like a fake, it's like a dream!

Wang Lili was very worried that the job Hu Yanan said would not start until a year and a half, in which case she really didn't dare to bet her hopes on it.

"If you want, start working today. I will call Hu Yiting later, and he said that as long as you accept it, you will come to the newspaper office to talk to you about the specific work. ”

Wang Lili was surprised: "Start today?"

"What's the matter?

"But my layoff won't take effect until the end of the month. Wang Lili bit her lip vigorously, afraid that Hu Yanan would retract her promise because of this.

She thought quickly, if she couldn't do it, why don't she resign early? That's 1,500 yuan a month! That's worth her salary for the previous six months! But can she get a layoff placement fee if she resigns early? That's more than 1,000 yuan? But it would be a pity if she missed this opportunity! And is Mr. Hu's words really reliable?

As if seeing Wang Lili's worries, Hu Yanan comforted her and said: "Don't be afraid, isn't there still half a month? ”

"Our newspaper?"

Hu Yanan sneered: "Yes, I rented the warehouse behind the guard's room, and your Aunt Bai ran in and out in the past two days, isn't it just to decorate the office." ”

"Oh, well, that's great. Wang Lili was overjoyed and said.

She thought: "It turns out that this company is in the newspaper office! Now you don't even have to change the place where you go to work! Before you are laid off, you can go to the office every day to order a meal, and you can go to do your own work, but you have already been laid off anyway, who can say anything?"

The two talked again, and Wang Lili heard Hu Yanan boast about her son's career as a bright future, and she was also very hopeful for the future.

Although Hu Yanan never praised him in front of Hu Yiting, he always said that his son was talented in front of others, which is probably a common problem of fathers all over the world.

After negotiating with Wang Lili, Hu Yanan called home, and Hu Yiting rushed to the newspaper after receiving the call.

The warehouse behind the guard room of Hushan Daily has more than 80 square meters, which was originally used to pile up some sundries, some old newspapers, magazines and mimeographers, but Hu Yanan rented it with a monthly rent of 70 yuan, and now it has been cleaned up and painted again.

Hu Yiting is also here for the first time, and after walking into this office with Wang Lili, he smiled and said: "You see, this is the first step of our long march, although it is a little simple, but great technology companies start from garages, HP, Compaq, Apple and other large companies with a market value of billions of dollars." Sister Wang, our office is much bigger than a garage!

Wang Lili looked at Hu Yiting with mixed feelings, and couldn't believe that this teenager who was wearing a washed white old chemical fiber sportswear a few years ago is now a scientific and technological elite worth millions.

"Hu Yiting, no, Mr. Hu. ”

"Don't don't, don't be, just call Hu Yiting, Mr. Hu is too ugly, like a nouveau riche, our corporate culture does not have so many false courtesies from superiors and subordinates. ”

"Okay, Hu Yiting. Wang Lili smiled: "Then what am I going to do now?"

Hu Yiting said in high spirits: "You are the president of this company!"

Wang Lili was taken aback: "President!

"Yes, it's the equivalent of the general manager, but it's more fashionable to call it that. ”

"President......" Wang Lili pondered for a long time, only to realize that she had just been laid off and was promoted.

"Tomorrow, when you and my mother do a work handover, you will immediately be responsible for decorating this warehouse into office space, dividing the employees' personal workspaces with the partitions that are common in office buildings, and equipping and placing computers, printers, fax machines, telephones, desks and chairs. ”

"Okay!" Wang Lili nodded heavily.

"You're going to start hiring now, and the company is currently between 10 and 20 people, and it's up to you to know the exact size. After recruiting people, you must immediately formulate and implement the management system and financial mechanism to manage the people well. ”

"What kind of people are you going to recruit?"

"Undergraduate students in computer software and hardware are the best choice, and junior college students are also fine. ”

"What is our business? Tell me more about it. ”

"Of course, I have to talk to you about this, you see, at present, the chip I designed has been taped out, and large-scale production has begun in Wuxi Electronics 58 Institute, and we must have someone on site to supervise the production process, count the output, and collect customer information. I have a lot of patents in my hands now, and they also need to be managed by a professional team to find buyers and analyze market ......"

So Wang Lili stood in the warehouse and listened to Hu Yiting talk endlessly for more than three hours!

As a reborn, Hu Yiting's experience and experience could not be finished for three days and three nights, Wang Lili listened to it with a smack, and hurriedly went back to the office to get a notebook, and carefully recorded every instruction Hu Yiting said.

Seeing that the time had reached half past four, Hu Yiting's mouth was dry, he picked up two glasses of water sent by his father, and handed Wang Lili a glass while drinking.

Wang Lili has been completely stunned by Hu Yiting, she can't understand that this young man looks no older than her younger brother, how can she understand so much!

"It's not too early, I'll take you to buy a mobile phone and pager first, and everyone in the company will have at least one pager in the future. ”

Wang Lili nodded, she was now completely impressed by Hu Yiting's talent, and she was the only one who looked forward.

Hu Yiting withdrew money from a nearby bank, took a taxi and took Wang Lili to the business hall of the General Administration of Hushan Post and Telecommunications Bureau.
