On the day of the interview, Liu Ying got up early, and she was ready to go downstairs not long after Shen Youxia got up.

Shen Youxia sat on the chair at the dining table and looked through the newspaper that had just been delivered, waiting for Lin's mother's breakfast. When she saw Liu Ying coming down from upstairs, she couldn't help but smile, and said in her heart that this girl seemed to be more serious. Liu Ying did get up early, which was contrary to her usual habit of sleeping for ten hours, Shen Youxia remembered that she went to bed at ten o'clock last night, and now she got up at half past seven.

After Liu Ying went downstairs, Shen Youxia looked at what she was wearing. Liu Hotaru wore a white shirt with an embroidered neckline, a long black straight skirt, and a pair of black heels of about three centimeters. She pulled her hair up, tied it into a ponytail, exposed two small studs on her ears, and put on a light eyebrow, eye and lip makeup, giving people a feeling of full of energy, stability and vitality.

It was probably the first time she wore high heels, and she felt uncomfortable walking on tiptoe. Shen Youxia couldn't help but laugh out loud when he looked at her walking posture, but he had to admit that Liuying was really suitable for such an outfit.

"You're still laughing at me. Liu Ying complained to Shen Youxia and said, "You don't know how determined I am to wear this." ”

Shen Youxia held back a smile, covered his mouth with a newspaper, nodded his head vigorously, and said, "Take a few more steps to get used to it, come, take a turn, take a look." ”

"Laugh, laugh, laugh, if I don't succeed in today's interview, I'll tear down all the watches you collect. Liuying glared at Shen Youxia and said.

Mother Lin brought breakfast to the table, and Shen Youxia took the opportunity to stop the topic, took down the newspaper and put it on the table, and said to Liuying: "Come and eat, eat more, and only when you are full will you have the strength to go to the interview." ”

After the two finished breakfast, Shen Youxia was afraid that Liuying would not find the interview location and delay the time, so he sent her to the downstairs of the company for the interview. He looked at it, it was an architectural design company called "Yuefeng", he hadn't heard much of it, but it seemed that the scale was not small.

Liu Ying greeted Shen Youxia and left, as soon as she entered the door of the company, she saw a sign on the right hand side of the door, which said "Interview Sign-in Office", so she followed the pre-drill, raised her head and chest, and calmly walked to the sign-in place step by step. The staff at the check-in desk smiled at her when they saw her coming, and Hotaru smiled as well.

"Hello, I'm here for an interview. "Hotaru looks relaxed, but in fact, she has a little stage fright in her heart.

"What's your name?" the staff member asked, picking up the form on the table.

Liuying replied, "Gu Liuying." ”

The staff found Hotaru's name on the form, put a checkmark on it, and then handed the form to her, pointed to the blank box and said, "Sign here." ”

Liuying took the form and signed her name, and after the staff confirmed that it was correct, they took her to the lounge and asked her to wait in the lounge, and when she arrived, someone would naturally remind her, and after saying thank you to the staff, she found a vacant place in the lounge and sat down and waited.

There were already five people waiting in the lounge, three men and two women, except for one man who was a little older, and the other four were all about the same age as Liuying. As soon as Hotaru sat down, one of the women kept staring at her, and Hotaru turned her head away uncomfortably. Being stared at like this made her as uncomfortable as falling sand on the soles of her shoes.

"Are you Gu Liuying?" asked the person who had been staring at her for a long time.

Liuying slowly turned her head and looked at the person in front of her, and after thinking for a long time, she didn't remember who it was, so she could only say stiffly: "I'm Gu Liuying." ”

"Hah, I'll just say I'm not going to admit my mistake. The man said proudly, and then looked at Liuying's confused eyes before he said to her, "I'm Xu Fei." ”

Xu Fei and Liuying searched for all the information about the word "Xu Fei" in her head, and finally reminded her that there was such a person, a classmate of her in college, but fortunately, it didn't take long for Liuying to remember it very hard. In addition to being her classmate, Xu Fei is also her college roommate, to be exact, a titular college roommate. When Liuying was in college, Shen Youxia applied for the right not to live on campus for her, but the dormitory had already been arranged, and the bunk was still hers, so Liuying paid the accommodation fee but never lived in the dormitory for a night.

"It's you. Hotaru replied simply.

Xu Fei said with the joy of reunion after a long absence: "I didn't expect to meet you here, I heard from the people in the class that you went to Africa, when did you come back?"

Liu Ying felt that she didn't have so much intersection with Xu Fei, and her enthusiasm made her a little uncomfortable, but she only warned herself before going out today that no matter who she talked to, she should be polite, so she said, "It's been more than a month." ”

"You don't know, you didn't come to the graduation ceremony, and a lot of people talked about you. ”

Xu Fei's words made Liuying not know how to pick it up, she could only say lightly: "Really?"

Unexpectedly, Xu Fei followed her words and began to talk eloquently: "Yes, Li Songyuan from the Department of Mathematics also specially inquired about our department, and asked which design institute you signed it into." ”

Liuying said absentmindedly, "I don't seem to know him." ”

"Xu Fei, Xu Fei, please come with me. A woman in professional attire shouted into the lounge at the door.

"Okay. Xu Fei hurriedly stood up and replied, and then bowed his head and said to Liuying before leaving, "Pay more attention to our group, we often have dinners, and many people are looking forward to you going." Alright, I'll go first, good luck to me. ”

After Xu Fei finished speaking, she left, and Liu Ying breathed a sigh of relief, she didn't have much energy to deal with this kind of classmate friendship. The people before the fluttering fireflies were called away one after another, and then many people came in one after another.

"Gu Liuying, Gu Liuying, please come with me. The same female clerk shouted at the door.

Hotaru picked up her bag and immediately got up and walked to the door, following the female staff to the door of a conference room.

"Thank you. Hotaru said to the female staff, who ignored her and motioned for her to come in.

Liuying silently recited "Come on, Gu Liuying" in her heart, and then put the smile on her face that she had practiced countless times, and knocked lightly on the door.

"Please come in. "There was a voice coming from inside.

Liu Hotaru opened the door and entered the conference room, and after casually closing the door, he faced the three interviewers in front of him.

"You may be seated. The interviewer in the middle said to Ryuhotaru.

"Thank you. Hotaru responded politely, then sat down.

"Please introduce yourself. The interviewer on her left hand side said to her, and the interviewer in the middle seemed to be looking at her resume.

Liuying calmed down, slowed down her speech, and blurted out as if she was rehearsing in the mirror: "Hello three interviewers, my name is Gu Liuying." My undergraduate major is architecture, but I haven't worked in a major-related job so far. Although I have never worked professionally, I have always maintained my original intention of architectural design, it is an integral part of my life, it carries my thoughts, and it is why I applied for the position of architectural designer in your company. ”

After Liuyi finished speaking, she learned to look at the three interviewers in front of her, as she saw in the book.

The interviewer in the middle said: "Do you regret that your resume says that you joined the volunteer team as soon as you graduated, which is a very unwise choice for most people, which means that you have lost the competitive advantage of new graduates and put yourself in an awkward position?"

Liuying had imagined that the interviewer who saw her resume would ask some questions about her time in aiding Africa, but regretted that she had not thought of such questions, so she pondered for a moment and replied: " I don't regret joining the volunteer team because of how strong my sense of social responsibility is, on the contrary, I am afraid of this society, but I still don't regret it, because I want to influence and even change the lives of others through my own actions, and I can bring a different color to other people's lives through some of the things I do.

The examiner in the middle and the other two examiners looked at each other and said, "In your narrative, I pay more attention to a few words, 'afraid', 'trembling', 'cautious', what causes you to use such words to describe life?"

As soon as she heard the examiner's question, her hands clenched into fists slightly, and then rubbed each other habitually, until her palms were sweaty and she still couldn't answer, and she knew why she used these words, because this was her own experience. She lowered her head, her teeth biting her lip slightly, and looked at her fingers without saying a word.

"Miss Gu, is this question difficult to answer?" the interviewer on the right asked when he saw that she had not spoken.

Liu Hotaru slowly raised her head at this time, her eyes were a little flustered, but she still persuaded herself to calm down, looked at the interviewer in the middle and said: "The question asked by the interviewer should not have much to do with the position I want to apply for, and this question is related to my personal situation, so I'm sorry I can't answer it." ”

After Liuying finished speaking, she kept looking at the three interviewers, and the interviewers were whispering to each other, and at the end, the interviewer in the middle said to Liuying: "We will inform you of the interview results by phone, please keep the phone open." ”

Liuying stood up, bowed slightly and said "thank you", and fled in a hurry.

She walked out of the gate of Yuefeng company, the people who came and went around were full of enthusiasm for life, even the sun overhead had broken through the thick clouds and swayed in this world, the calm lake opposite was shining with the sun, but it pierced the eyes of the fluttering fireflies a little painful.
