Chapter 11: Light and Time

Taisheng South Road, this is a street located in the center of the CD, the full name is Taisheng Road. It is connected to a ring road in the north and terminates at Admiral Street in the south, which is bounded by the Taisheng Bridge across the Funan River, which is named Taisheng North Road in the north of the Taisheng Bridge, and the Taisheng South Road in the south of the Taisheng Bridge, with a total length of less than 800 meters.

On both sides of the street are mostly low, two-story old houses with green tiles, covered with moss and some unknown weeds, which cover the roofs and are tough and tenacious, green in spring and yellow in autumn, and grow wildly year after year. Most of the stores on the street are small shops of dozens of square meters, and the doors are closed at night with a piece of mottled long wooden boards, and the upper and lower beams are grooved, which is the kind of door panel used in the kind of old houses that we often see in the remote places of the ancient town, in short, there is a little vicissitudes of the rings. The store business projects are miscellaneous and messy, such as clothing, daily groceries, catering, etc., and they are scattered from time to time.

The whole road is not wide, about ten meters, the ground is still potholes, every summer rainstorm season, impartial, often rush to get off work, then thunderstorms, often see girls holding an umbrella in one hand, a skirt in the other, want to run and very difficult to go to the bus station, umbrella wants to fly skirt want to dance, busy, panic, wet, embarrassed, I don't know which side to take care of, this prominent scenery also occasionally makes passers-by look at the road, not paying attention, with a broken foot, the whole body is half lying in the pothole, and the surrounding area suddenly bursts of presumptuous but very good-natured laughter. The French plane trees on both sides should have been planted in the fifties, decades of wind and rain, now luxuriant, much higher than the houses on both sides, not to mention, but also in the middle of the road to build a bridge, in the hot summer sun raging at noon, the street is green, the sun can not tear a few gaps, the road is also very shady. When business is sluggish, groups of people will move out of bamboo chairs and sit on the side of the road, shaking fans, a cup of gaiwan tea, or swinging the dragon gate formation in the southeast and northwest, or playing chess, or playing Go, and the time will pass quickly. By the way, the CD Chess Academy is also at the southern end of this street, because of Nie Weiping's birth, Go, an elegant but calculating, logical sport, has suddenly become popular here, and many parents have brought their children here to learn Go at an age that they should not come.

The tallest building, the seven-story Sky Tower, stands lonely less than 100 meters away from the T-junction.

On the contrary, another street that forms a T-shaped road with this street, which is very famous in modern history, is Admiral Street. Named after the Admiral's Mansion, hundreds of years ago, the Admiral's Mansion here was in charge of the military and political affairs of the southwest, so it was famous. After the liberation, the CD Youth Cultural Palace was built on the original site of the Admiral's Palace, with a large square and some competition venues, and it has also become one of the landmark buildings of CD. 20 meters south of Admiral Street, a large avenue parallel to Admiral Street is Shudu Avenue that runs through the east and west of CD, Tianfu Square, towering statues, department stores, science and technology museums, museums, municipal governments, Yanshikou, people's shopping malls, Chunxi Road------, all distributed on this main line.

These are CDs in the early 90s, and these are all CD calling cards.

Taisheng South Road, originally one of the many ordinary streets, after 1992, with the gradual entry of merchants dealing in communication products, the situation began to slowly change.

Y&D's CD shop is the largest store in terms of area and the most complete range of products.

Next to this store is a state-run store that sells hardware and groceries, and because of its large area but incomplete products, business has been tepid, sometimes even light, and there are not many customers even on weekends. But now, the situation is beginning to change, and Liang Xiaofang doesn't know where to find the relationship, she plans to take over the store and directly transform it into a professional communication product store. In other words, this 200-square-meter hardware and grocery store will become the largest and most complete communication product store on Taisheng South Road.

It was a big decision, and after learning more about the structure of the store, several people were standing across the street to discuss it.

"Sister Fang, isn't it a little too big, bigger than Y&D's store!" Xiao Na was very worried, after all, this business had just begun.

"At least four clerks. Swallow said.

"The point is, it's too much pressure to be with Y&D. Shawna said.

Liang Xiaofang didn't answer, and looked at the two stores opposite thoughtfully. After a long time, she asked Xiao Song, "What do you see?"

"How much is the rent?" asked Xiao Song.

"Fifty thousand a year. Liang Xiaofang replied.

"How do I pay?"

"Paid annually. ”

"How long can I sign a contract?"

"Five years. ”

"What about ten years?"

"It needs to be discussed, but it's not a big problem. ”

"That's ten years, and I think it's good for this position. Xiao Song did not hesitate to draw conclusions.

"What is your reason?" asked Liang Xiaofang with a smile.

"First, now there is only business on this road, because the store of Y&D company is here, it is convenient to handle business, and the customer flow is also large; second, Y&D company is a state-owned company, although the products are complete, but the service is not good and inflexible; third, and it is also the most critical reason for me, we must do the best, the starting point must be high, not the beginning of the small store idea, there are dozens of square meters to do product display. We also need to make a service package, with a larger space, leaving enough room for customers to maneuver and rest, and from the service aspect, we must compare with state-owned companies. ”

"Xiao Na, what do you think now?" Liang Xiaofang asked again.

"What my brother said makes sense, it's just -------" Xiao Na was still a little worried.

"You're still worried about inexperience and competitive pressure, right?"

"Yes, it's the first time I've done it, and I don't know the bottom of my heart for such a big store. Xiao Na said truthfully.

"I support Brother Song, if you want to do it, you have to do it from a high starting point, do a good job in the image and environment, and then find a few beautiful girls to be clerks to ensure that the business is better than the next one. Swallow also said confidently.

"That's it, we'll negotiate the contract later. Liang Xiaofang looked at Xiao Na and said with a smile.

"Well, I'm out anyway, there's no way back. Seeing that everyone agreed, Xiao Na had no choice but to put her concerns aside.

"But my money won't be in until next week. Xiao Song hesitated slightly, he didn't know that Liang Xiaofang was so fast.

"It's okay, we have money. Swallow said cheerfully.

"Sister Fang, there is one thing that I haven't told you yet. Xiao Na looked at Liang Xiaofang's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping.

"When is it, and is there anything else to hide from me?" Liang Xiaofang asked worriedly.

"It's a start-up business. ”

"Didn't I say it back then, I'll help you. Liang Xiaofang said lightly, thinking that it was a big deal.

"My brother said we had to pay for it ourselves. Xiao Na hesitated for a few seconds, but decided to speak first.

"Why?" the swallow didn't close in surprise.

Liang Xiaofang was also stunned by this sudden accident, she looked at Xiao Na, and waited for her to continue.

"Because now my brother's relationship with Swallow has changed. ”

"Isn't it closer?" Liang Xiaofang asked as she looked at Xiao Song.

"Yes, it is precisely because Yanzi is my girlfriend that Xiao Na and I can only work our own. Xiao Song replied in the affirmative.

"Why, Brother Song?" Swallow still didn't understand.

"Okay, I got it. But don't you have enough money?" Liang Xiaofang suddenly understood Xiao Song's intentions, this is really a man whose self-esteem has crossed the line!

"Give me some time and I'll figure it out. I just made a calculation of this store, rent, decoration, shelves and equipment, as well as the operating expenses for the next three months, I should have a way. Xiao Song said.

"Alright then, I respect your decision. Liang Xiaofang knew in her heart that not only could she not hurt Xiao Song's self-esteem now, but on the contrary, she had to find a way to maintain it. In fact, she also admires Xiao Song's bottom line to be maintained, the most basic and sacred bottom line for a man.

"What? Sister, you agreed so quickly, where can Brother Song find money? As I said before, you are too irresponsible. "The swallow is starting to get anxious.

"Swallow, don't worry, I won't steal it. Xiao Song pulled the swallow to his side and said comfortingly while rubbing the swallow's hair.

Liang Xiaofang ignored Yanzi, looked at Xiao Song and said encouragingly: "Let's go and negotiate the rent contract first, this is the big deal." Rent, it doesn't matter, I'm very familiar with them. ”

Liang Xiaofang knew the landlord very well, and the whole process did not take an hour.

The current hardware and grocery store moves out within ten days, and then gives a one-month renovation period, and the rent is not calculated during the renovation period. Everyone carefully calculated the time, although it was very tight, but it was still able to open ten days before the National Day, which is the most critical premise. Xiao Na signed a lease contract in her personal name for a period of ten years, with no rent increase for the first five years and 55,000 per year for the second five years, which is also fair. It is a result that both parties are relatively satisfied with.

Walking out of the door, Xiao Na and Swallow look at each other, you look at me, I look at you. And then they all high-fived happily.

From now on, they have really taken their first steps on Taisheng South Road.

The current work is as intense as a rapid march to war, and there is not a day of leisure.

Decoration to measure the size, to do the overall image positioning, according to the product to do the functional partition of the area, to decide the space color and container collocation, after the draft but also with Zhang Jun in Guangzhou, Lu Hua communication and coordination, to the final draft, this process took ten days, decoration workers just in time to enter the hardware and grocery store when the withdrawal.

Fortunately, the decoration of the Qingnian Road store has been completed, and the two sides will no longer involve each other's time.

Zhang Jun and Lu Hua are in charge of the goods, so don't worry about this. On the third day after the functional partition and the number of shelves are confirmed, the product model and quantity have come out, and the first batch of goods will definitely arrive on CD within fifteen days.

Now the key is the company name. Each person thought about three, and finally chose the three most satisfactory names among the twelve names, but I didn't expect that the three could finally pass the nuclear name, and after some discussion and entanglement, finally,

The name of the company was set: Light and Time.

It's not one name, it's two. They represent two companies.

Shawna represents Time Communication, and she hopes to cherish every moment from now on and strive to become an outstanding representative in a new field. In addition, "time" has several meanings, one is a sense of urgency, which can make people feel pressure at any time, and the other is a sense of science and technology and a sense of the future, which is consistent with the technological update and upgrading of the communication industry.

Xiao Song represents the communication of light and shadow, just by looking at the name, you can know that behind this is his ideal and feelings that he will never let go of photography.

Xiao Song said that the two companies will operate separately, at least in terms of legal documents. The investment money invested by Xiao Song was given to Xiao Na in the name of borrowing, and then registered to complete the time communication, and the first store belonged to Xiao Na's time communication, and after the business was relatively stable, Xiao Na returned the loan, and Xiao Song used the funds to open a new store, and the new store will belong to Xiao Song's light and shadow communication. Then, both companies will operate independently, and funds can be borrowed from each other, but the financial statements must be clear and there must be no sequelae.

Liang Xiaofang, Yanzi, and Xiao Na didn't understand why Xiao Song wanted to operate separately.

Xiao Song elaborated:

Reason 1, Xiao Na just needs help now, so that the operation can give Xiao Na the opportunity to undertake and develop alone in the future, if not separated, then Xiao Na will have a habitual dependence on Xiao Song, which is not conducive to Xiao Na's growth, so it will lose the meaning of promoting Xiao Na.

The second and most important reason is that this industry will definitely develop rapidly, with great opportunities but also great risks. In terms of personality, he himself will be bold and aggressive, and his business strategy will be more aggressive, so that once he seizes the opportunity, he will develop faster, but sometimes he will inevitably take risks. Shawna's personality is more steady, and when necessary, Time Communication can adopt a defensive strategy to ensure that the baseline is not breached. Therefore, two eggs cannot be put in one basket, and only after doing so can some risks be reasonably avoided to ensure the maximum interests of the whole family;

Reason three, there is no reason three this time.

Liang Xiaofang believes that Xiao Song's reasons are strong, thoughtful and visionary. She looked at Xiao Na and didn't speak, but she also hoped in her heart that Xiao Na would understand and agree.

How could Xiao Na not understand Xiao Song's good intentions?

Now that you have decided to take this step, you need to face it alone, and you can't always be dependent, otherwise, you will really not have the opportunity to grow. In particular, Xiao Song's second reason has fully demonstrated that the independent operation of the two companies is a strategic design need, and she also believes that such operation is the most reasonable, and the division of labor between the two companies is also in line with the personalities of her and Xiao Song.

Thus is the birth of light, shadow and time.

Three days after the recruitment advertisement was issued, the number of job applicants exceeded 100 people, but now only 10 people, time 5 people, and the remaining 5 people were taken away by light and shadow when the second store was opened.

There is no office, and the interview occasion can only be rented, but the image cannot be abandoned. So they rented a conference room at the Shudu Mansion Hotel. This is already very, very tall for the candidate.

The first two rounds of interviews Xiao Na and Yanzi have been completed, and the two have confirmed twenty of them after discussion, and today is the last round of interviews, with Liang Xiaofang and Xiao Song conducting interviews, and finally confirming ten people.

Applicants are invited to arrive at the conference room at 2 p.m., Xiao Na will make a unified company introduction and business explanation, job requirements and salary description, and then arrange to communicate one by one in the next room for final confirmation.

Xiao Na and Yanzi were the first to arrive, and they had to sort out the information of each candidate and the evaluation during the first two interviews, and then they were also responsible for the reception. Liang Xiaofang arrived half an hour early, and she did the final interview questions in the next room, and she needed to communicate with each other according to the background differences of the candidates.

Xiao Song was a little late. When passing through the conference room, he quickly browsed the applicants who had arrived, and from the outside, he was quite satisfied, and it seemed that Xiao Na and Yanzi were still very discerning in selecting people. The retail industry is an appearance association unit, which needs to be based on appearance, not that individuals can show their heads in the store. Since it is a service industry, everything needs to start from the customer's feelings, and the customers will only pay their wallets when they feel good. While thinking, he came directly to Liang Xiaofang and sat down.

Liang Xiaofang didn't look up, she glanced at Xiao Song with her spare eyes, and suddenly found that something was wrong, what was wrong? She suddenly looked up, and then she saw Xiao Song's new style, the shoulder-length hair was gone, and it became short hair. The beautiful face that was always covered by long hair in the past is now completely released, and it suddenly has a sunny day. In addition to the slightly hesitant eyes, there was also some residual literary atmosphere, and the whole person felt much more refreshed. At least, like a normal young man of twenty-six. Long hair is cool. It is very trendy and very literary, but there is always a little bit of decadence in Xiao Song that is not easy to accept.

"Swallow, Xiao Na, come in. Liang Xiaofang greeted the two people in the conference room next door in surprise, and after the two entered the room, she pointed to Xiao Song next to her and motioned to the two, "Look, look, who is this." ”

Xiao Song is immersed in reading the job application form.

"Who is this?" Yanzi asked inexplicably, thinking that he didn't know him, and he couldn't be a job seeker, he was still in the big conference room next door.

"My brother. Xiao Na said indifferently, "I accompanied him to repair this morning." ”

"What about the long hair?" asked Swallow in surprise.

"Cut. Xiao Song raised his head and replied crisply.

"Who told you to cut it?"

"Me. Shawna replied.

Xiao Na said that now she is more like a businessman, and she seems shrewd and capable. Xiao Song added, "It's okay, do you like it?"

"It's spirited, but it's not as smelly as it used to be. Swallow shook her head and said.

"Yanzi, what kind of vision do you have, I think it's very good, to be a person who wants to be like which line of people, this is very good, really. It's going to be this shape from now on. Liang Xiaofang said with a smile, expressing full affirmation.

"I think that's good too. Xiao Song said confidently, "I also have to leave a good impression on the job seekers, among these people, there will definitely be people who have been with us for five years, even ten years, or twenty years." ”

Liu Yong rode his bicycle and pedaled all the way, and there were still ten minutes before he had to rush to the Shudu Building.

Time was originally very sufficient, but today was really unlucky, less than ten minutes after going out, I don't know if the temperature was too high or something was pressed, the rear wheel actually burst a tire! But it also takes at least twenty minutes to repair the tire, and he has no time, so he can only step on the deflated tire and move forward with difficulty.

He can't give up this opportunity, think about the grand occasion of hundreds of people yesterday, think about the depressed faces after the interview, he has at least survived to the third round, and he must not be bad because of this broken tire. After graduating from high school, he came to CD from his hometown in Dazhou to make a living, and now it has been almost three years, he has worked as a salesperson in the stores of two small bosses, although he has been working very hard, but after all, it is only a small store, and he does the work of moving goods and loading goods every day, and there is no great improvement in work and life. The recruitment information of Time Communication was that he accidentally saw that he was running a telephone and a BP machine, and he was a big brother, what a fashionable and lofty job this was! At that time, his eyes lit up, and he came the next morning to give the boss a leave of absence, and then he saw so many young men and women who were as excited and full of expectations as he was. What is the difference between this and the college entrance examination? At that time, he was still a little discouraged, and he himself did not expect to make it to the third round. Now that it's in the third round, if you work harder, you have to fight for this opportunity.

So, push harder, push harder.

Liu Yong was the last applicant to arrive at the conference room, and Xiao Na was ready to start making a company introduction.

When he entered the door, he was panting, his legs were weak, his newly changed white shirt had been covered with sweat, and his well-groomed hair was now messy. In a word, it is so embarrassed that there is no image at all. Originally, he thought he was still a little handsome.

Xiao Na looked at Liu Yong standing at the door, "Are you Liu Yong?"

"Yes, the car had a flat tire. Liu Yong replied after adjusting his breathing.

"Come in, find a seat. ”

There were already people near the door, Liu Yong sat down in a vacant seat in the middle, and the moment he sat down, the beautiful woman next to him couldn't help but fan her hand. Liu Yong thought that it must be the strong smell of sweat on his body, so he reciprocated with the other party's sincere apologetic smile.

Xiao Na began to make company descriptions:

Hello and welcome!

I'm Xiao Na, and I'm also the legal representative of Time Communication. Many of you here today, we've already met. In the past two days, there have been a lot of applicants, about 100 people, and we will finally confirm 10 people from today's 20 people to join our company, please give us our warmest applause to express encouragement.

Time Telecom is a new company, which was only established a few days ago, but we have been paying attention to the communication industry for a long time and have done thorough research and preparation. This is a completely new industry, and it will certainly be an industry with rapid development and full of opportunities. Like me, the people here are young people in their twenties. I'm sure you all share the same understanding as we do, otherwise you wouldn't be sitting here right now.

Although Time Telecom is a new company, we are a company with a high starting point, and our promoters and partners have rich business background and industry experience. I am an accounting major and used to work in a bank. The two presidents next to me are friends who have given me the greatest support and encouragement for many years, and they have been quite successful in the field of clothing business. There are also our suppliers, their company has a very big influence in Guangzhou, especially the product and price, we will have a huge advantage, we dare to face any market competition.

Our first store is located next to the CD hall of Y&D, which was a former hardware and grocery store with an area of about 200 square meters, which is now under renovation and we expect to open by September 20th. This store, we will build a new flagship store with the largest area, the most complete products, the best price and the best service on Taisheng South Road. We will set a new record for Taisheng South Road, which is the high starting point of our time communication.

The hardware went up, and we also demanded a high starting point in terms of personnel. That's why the 20 people here will stand out from the more than 100 people. What we are now providing you with is a salesperson position, and if you do a good job, you will become a manager, a business development person, and even the backbone of the company in the future. As for the salary, we said it in the first interview, and now I repeat it again, the basic salary is 150 yuan per month, plus the sales commission, the minimum will not be less than 250 yuan, and there is no upper limit. We welcome elites with strong sales ability to break salary records every month.

I hope that each of you will not be nervous during the interview, and that you will truly show your strength and valuable characteristics, and I hope that each of us will grasp the time, cherish the time, and then work together with us to create a new future of time communication.

Each of us must believe in ourselves, the future is in our hands, and the future will be created by us!

Thank you.

Liang Xiaofang, Xiao Song, and Yanzi joined everyone to give Xiao Na the warmest applause and encouragement. Xiao Na's performance completely exceeded everyone's expectations, as long as there is a little bit of pressure, she will definitely be able to get things done, she has this potential.

Xiao Na didn't want to do this opening speech, she wanted Xiao Song to do it. But Xiao Song forced her to do it herself, because this was Time Communication, Xiao Na was the legal representative, and he Xiao Song was not. In just a few hundred words, Xiao Na revised it no less than ten times, and practiced it several times in the room alone, adjusting the intonation and the light accent of key points.

Swallow began to introduce the interview arrangement and process:

Hello everyone, we will start one-on-one communication later, about fifteen minutes per person, please be patient after the interview, and this afternoon will definitely make the final confirmation. Please be patient. Now, the interview starts in the next room, and I'll arrange them one by one.

The applicant's body began to relax, and when Xiao Na spoke just now, everyone's body was a little nervous, sitting upright and tense. Many people didn't even dare to look at Xiao Na squarely, especially a few boys, who lowered their heads slightly and lowered their eyes. They have never seen such a beautiful girl, a girl who is close at hand but has an aura that rejects people for thousands of miles, and more importantly, this person may soon become their own boss!

Everyone looks at me, I look at you, there is a slight vigilance and temptation in their eyes, everyone wants to be the last person to stay, but no one wants to be the first person to interview!

Liu Yong didn't want to be the first person to interview, he was the latest to come, and it stands to reason that he should be at the back. But he didn't expect to be the first person to go to the next room for an interview. When Swallow pronounced his name very clearly, his first reaction was shock, and the second reaction was why he was so unlucky today, it was me again!

Liang Xiaofang and Xiao Song sat side by side, and then watched Yanzi come in with Liu Yong, who was the first interviewer.

Liu Yong sat opposite the two of them, his whole body tense, and the sweat that had dried a little just now immediately began to soak his shirt, which was no longer white.

"Just talk casually, there's nothing to be nervous about. Liang Xiaofang said very casually, she could understand the pressure of this first person, and hoped that she could buffer Liu Yong's nervousness.

Xiao Song began to ask for some basic information.

"What's the name?"

"Liu Yong. ”

"Where?"

"Dazhou. ”

"How old are you this year?"

"Twenty-one, I came to CD after graduating from high school. ”

"Does CD have any friends?"

"It's rare, I only know a few people after I come, and I don't get together very often, and everyone usually has to work. ”

"What kind of work have you done before?"

"I've worked two jobs, the last one was a grocery store. Moving, loading, selling, everything, because it's just two people. ”

"And then?"

"Now in a clothing store, selling clothes. ”

"Boys sell clothes?" Xiao Song looked a little surprised.

"Yes------, I didn't get used to it at first, but now it's much better. Liu Yong has eased up a lot now, and his emotions have slowly calmed down, not as nervous as just now.

"We have a lot of boys in the store, and a lot of female customers like to look for boys. Liang Xiaofang interjected, "So, how are you selling?"

"It's okay, there are four people in our store, and my sales ranking is basically in the top two. ”

"Why do you want to leave?"

Liu Yong began to hesitate, not knowing how to answer.

"It's okay, let's be honest. Liang Xiaofang looked at Liu Yong and said encouragingly.

"Two reasons, one is that you give me a high salary, I don't have more than 200 yuan now, and the second is that I like the new technology industry, I used to be good at science when I was in high school, and then I also studied home appliance repair. ”

"How many points is the difference in the college entrance examination?" Xiao Song asked.

"Ten points. When it comes to the college entrance examination, Liu Yong feels a little disappointed in his heart, ten, what a perfect score this is, but for him, this tenths has become an unbridgeable chasm, and he has not been able to pass it.

"Why don't you repeat your studies for a year?" asked Liang Xiaofang regretfully.

"I want to too, who doesn't want to go to college! But looking at my dad's face, I gave up after crying all night, the family was so poor. Later, I went to learn to repair household appliances, but in our hometown, it was not our family that was poor, but many people were poor, and there were not many radios. Later, then I came to CD, big cities, there will definitely be more opportunities. I have to work to support my family, and I have a younger brother who will be in high school next month, and he has good grades and must work hard to go to college. I also have to try to earn a little more money so that I can prepare for his tuition. "Liu Yong is simple and sincere.

"Then what are your plans for the future?" Xiao Song asked.

"Planning? Liu Yong really hasn't thought about this question, what plan can he have for his current situation?

"yes, what do you think about work?" added Liang Xiaofang.

"I, I don't have any plans too far ahead. I just want to have a job I love, study hard and do a good job. And then it's good to have a more stable income. Liu Yong replied cautiously, he didn't know if this answer would satisfy the two people opposite, but now it was at least the truest thought in his heart.

"Okay, we're probably clear, please go outside and wait for two minutes, and we'll talk about it. Liang Xiaofang said to Liu Yong.

Liu poured out of the room, and the emotions that had just calmed down began to become nervous and apprehensive again. He wanted to stay, but he really didn't know what the outcome would be, and the person who made the decision was not him, but the two people inside. Work hard, and one day, you must also become a person who can decide the fate of others. He secretly encouraged himself in his heart.

The first candidate is certainly difficult because a criterion needs to be defined.

In the room, Liang Xiaofang and Xiao Song reached a consensus in less than a minute, leaving Liu Yong. Although the image is not the best, this boy has a hard-working, simple and responsible responsibility, which are all good qualities that they value. When Yanzi informed Liu Yong, who was waiting at the door, of his decision to stay, he was so excited that he really wanted to roar loudly to release the suppressed grievances in his heart, and the fist that had been clenched because of nervousness just now was stretched. There are only three things, and we can't always encounter bad luck today. Looking back now, maybe a flat tire is still a good thing, because the bad luck has passed beforehand. No, now he can wait in the conference room with great relief, and he can enjoy the high-end air conditioning here, this is the first time he has come to such a high-end hotel, and the first time he has enjoyed the air conditioning. In the past, he used to blow a fan at most. With such good conditions, it's okay not to go back at night.

The second person to go in for an interview was Tian Tian, a very beautiful and arrogant girl, that is, the girl who was sitting next to Liu Yong just now.

Ever since Tian Tian entered the door, Xiao Song had been looking at this girl.

Tian Tian walked to the opposite side and sat down, the pace was unhurried, not hurried, very smooth and natural. There is a faint elegance in her demeanor that is not pretentious, which is very similar to Xiao Na's tepidness, neither humble nor arrogant. He didn't see even the slightest nervousness on the part of the girl. On the contrary, she even had a slight natural sense of superiority, which was a surprise to him.

"What's your name, please. After Tian Tian sat down, Xiao Song began to ask.

"Tian Tian. Tian Tian replied naturally, but not politely. Although it has become a habit for her to be proud in the circle of friends, she can still grasp the scale on this occasion, otherwise it will be in vain in the past few years.

"Tian Tian, and that name?" asked Liang Xiaofang in surprise.

"My grandfather said that we have a lot of fields in our hometown. He was more nostalgic, so I became a ------ of Tian Tian."

"Are you a CD local?" Liang Xiaofang asked again, the basic information link was originally asked by Xiao Song, but now she couldn't help but ask, where did this girl get her pride?

"My grandfather came from the Northeast before liberation, I was born in CD, went to school, and grew up. Tian Tian speaks very standard Mandarin, without a little mixed Northeast and SC accent.

No wonder------??

Xiao Song thought to himself, pride turns out to be capital, and many locals will have a little sense of natural superiority, which is also normal.

"What major did you study?" Xiao Song asked.

"Preschool Teacher. ”

"What did you do before?"

"Elementary school teachers, and now too. ”

"Good job. Liang Xiaofang sighed.

"Yes, everyone says so, stable, income is okay, and you are not tired of vacations for many months a year. Tian Tian's words changed suddenly, "But I don't like it." ”

"Don't like it?" Xiao Song was suddenly touched by a little rebellion in Tian Tian's tone.

"Yes, I've been a teacher for three years now, and I'm trying hard to fit in with being a good teacher, but I still don't like it. Tian Tian looked very helpless.

"Then what do you like?" asked Liang Xiaofang curiously.

"Business, I like to do business, and sometimes I go out on weekend nights to set up a stall. As soon as Tian Tian talked about the things he liked, his eyes began to light up and dazzle, "I like the sense of accomplishment after selling things and exchanging them for cash." I'm making a lot more money than my salary. ”

Liang Xiaofang and Xiao Song looked at each other and smiled, very tacitly understanding.

There is a foundation, good seedlings.

"If we hire you, what will happen to your teacher's job?" asked Liang Xiaofang, a very practical question.

"If you resign, you can leave your job without pay first. Tian Tian replied very simply.

"What about your family, they won't agree. Xiao Song asked, what came to his mind was Xiao Na and his father.

"My dad is okay, he supports me as long as I like it. But my grandfather is an old antique, and he definitely disagrees, and now the key in the family is that grandpa has the final say. These are all things that I deal with myself, though. I was able to handle it. Tian Tian said confidently.

"Do you like the communications industry?" asked Xiao Song.

"Of course I like it, you see, how convenient it is to have a BP machine, and how meaningful it is to promote social progress through technology. ”

How meaningful is a business?

Why didn't you think in this direction before? The teacher's perspective is different, and this Tian Tian, who likes business, is not a pure business perspective.

"Do you have your own plan?" is such an assertive girl, Liang Xiaofang is very concerned about this issue.

"I must have a plan, start as a salesperson, learn some professional knowledge, and then strive to do management after a year. Tian Tian paused slightly, looking at Liang Xiaofang hesitating whether to continue, and with the encouragement of Liang Xiaofang's eyes, she continued, "In the future, look at the development of the company in the future, if the development is very good, you also value me, I will try to continue to do it for the company." If the ------ is not good, I will come out and do it myself. ”

This answer was really frank, completely unexpected by Liang Xiaofang and Xiao Song.

"I still have a bit of a northeastern habit, and I don't like to talk around corners. Tian Tian explained.

"yes, that's good, I like your personality. Liang Xiaofang said happily, "Tian Tian, right?" We will decide to admit you now, your foundation is very good, and we will definitely focus on cultivating you in the future. I hope you can do well in the company, new company, new stage, more opportunities. ”

"I know you're going to take me. Tian Tian did not show surprise, on the contrary, he was calm and confident.

"Why?" Xiao Song became interested.

"First, my own conditions are very good, and second, Mr. Xiao, is the big beauty outside, she likes me very much, I can see it. Tian Tian pointed to Xiao Na in the conference room next door and said.

"I see, no wonder you weren't nervous at all. Xiao Song was relieved, and then immediately reminded, "After you go back, you must pay attention to properly handling the relationship with your family, don't let your grandfather be angry, old man, your body is important." ”

"Don't worry, the old man can coax it, just like coaxing a child, it will be fine in two days, I am good at this. Besides, my income here is much higher than that of being a teacher, so I'll be fine. Tian Tian smiled very easily this time, thinking that it was not just to deal with his grandfather, there was a way.

"So confident?" Liang Xiaofang asked rhetorically.

"Faith is innate, and as long as you are good to me, I will definitely be a good helper for you. Tian Tian said confidently.

……

He Wenxuan accompanied Xuexue to apply for the job, but as a result, his classmate was brushed, and he was inexplicably notified. But his appearance, which one could be a salesman? Puzzled, he decided to come over and have a look to satisfy his curiosity.

He wasn't tall, just over 1.6 meters, but he was very strong.

For a man, as long as it is not high, any other adjective is basically insulated from his appearance. According to normal logical reasoning, he should be a person with low self-esteem in his heart, in fact, there is a stage where this is indeed the case, but he is so stubborn that he can only let this inferiority complex and can only be known by himself, and must not let others see that he is very inferior, even if others see it, he pretends not to know anyway. Because of this, he now has to raise his stubby neck high on all occasions, and show his long-practiced habitual expression on his face, and show his disdain for the things around him at any time, in order to show his pride.

Where does this arrogance come from?

He Wenxuan believes that he is a talented person, but other vulgar people are not capable of discovering it. Of course, he didn't care what these vulgar people would think of him, he believed that there would always be someone who would find him, affirm him, and give him a chance, and that person was worth looking for. He believes in God's fairness, so that if he doesn't grow a certain brain, he will grow a little longer to be reasonable! Anyway, that's how he gave his psychological hints, and after so many years, it slowly became his habit, and he found that he was not only smart, but another kind of talent called brilliance.

It takes a strong heart, and he has.

Since he is a talented person, of course it will not be so easy to approach. Therefore, he used to build a firewall wherever he was, especially in public. Sometimes, he can also meet such a person, this kind of person is very hard to find the right words to embellish him, but often because of his inner vigilance, he is not very cooperative, and the result is nothing but that he calmly embarrasses the other party.

As soon as he entered the conference room, he chose a slightly centered position, and he never chose a corner, hoping that someone would see his clear and realistic presence. While waiting for the interview, he refused several offers and accostings from his surroundings. Isn't it just to talk to someone, you have to learn to praise first! Isn't it easy to praise someone! Even if you really don't know how to praise it, you can praise him for his talent! This is the highest compliment.

And he, He Wenxuan. And only this kind of praise is accepted.

Really, these people don't go through the dictionary or something first, and just come out and mix up? How embarrassing will it be to mix up in the future?

It's been almost two hours, and I'm watching the applicants go in one by one and come out one by one. One by one left in frustration. Those who stayed slowly began to get acquainted with each other, and introduced themselves next to each other. Because they know that starting tomorrow, they may have a new identity: colleagues.

He Wenxuan is still herself, sitting alone in the middle and ignoring it. When the number of people who stayed behind began to increase, and the voices around him became louder, he thought that he would not be the last to interview, right? This sudden thought made him a little irritable, and for two seconds a little self-esteem was damaged. But he is a man who is good at self-concealment and self-regulation. He took out a book and began to read it very carefully, in order to isolate himself from his surroundings. He loves to read and always carries it with him. Also, books are not only good in themselves, but also very useful tools, which can be used anywhere. Looking at it, he completely blended in, and his expression was enriched with the development of the plot.

He didn't care at all about the curious eyes of the others.

He was the last person to be interviewed.

Yanzi called He Wenxuan three times in a row, and he realized that he had come to himself.

Enter the house and take a seat. He adjusted his thinking, and first had to convert himself out of the plot of the book. In order to ease his emotions, without waiting for the other party to start asking his usual questions, he took the initiative to say: "Two CEOs, hard work! I am He Wenxuan." ”

Liang Xiaofang looked at He Wenxuan for a long time, and since he entered the door, this person walked beside the swallow so incongruously, not to mention that he was short, his head was high, and his eyes were upward; how could he still walk with a little bit of extraordinariness, and his hands still swinging outward, so how could he completely walk sideways? Compared with the innate pride in Tian Tian's bones just now, this was not pride, but a kind of deliberate "drag"! The more he deliberately "pulled," the more he became a little comic. The first reaction was that she didn't like it very much, and she couldn't even help but want to laugh in her heart, but out of politeness, she held back. How could Xiao Na and Yanzi let such a person enter the third round? What's so special? Then she looked at Xiao Song and motioned for Xiao Song to continue.

Xiao Song also looked at He Wenxuan suspiciously, he didn't understand the aesthetic value of Xiao Na and Yanzi, we are in retail, we have said it several times, and we are members of the Appearance Association!

"Where are the people?" Xiao Song's tone was a little coping, thinking of a few simple questions to complete the process, and then sending people away, many people in front of him were very good. Today's work ended perfectly.

"Guangyuan, I've only been coming to CD for two months. He Wenxuan replied quickly.

"We are in retail, do you understand?" Xiao Song asked in a wordy manner.

"Understood. He Wenxuan suppressed his voice and said, he is not tall but his voice is rough and thick, and he will occasionally be cold and frightened if he does not restrain himself. Talented people only need a few tenths of a second to understand what Xiao Song meant. He hesitated for a few seconds, although he was a little uneven and disappointed, the other party had no pattern but he couldn't lose the pattern, so he said very politely, "I don't know why you notified me to come." ”

Liang Xiaofang and Xiao Song looked at He Wenxuan in surprise, and they didn't know the reason. Obviously, the person in front of him is not suitable for a high-exposure salesperson job.

"I'm not here to be a salesperson, and I haven't sold anything. He Wenxuan added.

"But we're hiring salesmen!" Liang Xiaofang asked strangely.

"I was accompanying my classmates to apply for the job, and I wanted to help with the reference, so I asked a few more questions, and then the two interviewing bosses talked to me, and then informed me that I was here today, and I was also looking for answers. He Wenxuan explained.

"And what's your specialty?"

"Drawing, designing, writing is good, and there are many ideas. This is He Wenxuan's most accurate refinement of himself at present, of course, he has other talents to be discovered and summarized.

"Well, I know what they mean. Liang Xiaofang had an epiphany.

Xiao Song still didn't understand.

At this time, Xiao Na and Yanzi pushed the door and entered, just in time to see Xiao Song's confusion.

"I'm looking for someone who can do copywriting and promotion, this person has professional skills, good writing, and a quick brain. Swallow said to the two.

"We can do both jobs, and we will also need to do some promotions in our stores in the future. Shawna added.

"Then what do you need me to do?" He Wenxuan suddenly asked loudly, what is here and there, he is a little confused, and needs to get a confirmed answer.

"Art and copywriting. Xiao Song replied summarily.

"Well, I'm still a good fit, and that's what I'm good at. ”

"Have you done it before?" Xiao Song asked.

"I just got out of school. ”

"What major?"

"Mechanical engineering. After He Wenxuan finished speaking, he saw several people looking at him puzzled, and then explained, "Painting and writing are my hobbies, and I have published several novels." ”

"Oh------, writer?" Liang Xiaofang's eyes widened in surprise.

"Now it's called codeword, or it's a ------ that climbs the lattice"

"It should be promising. ”

"It's just a hobby, not a livelihood. He Wenxuan looked around at a few people, paused for a moment and said carefully, "I suddenly have an idea, I don't know if ------ should I say it?"

"What thoughts?" asked Yanzi curiously, she was a naturally curious person, and she did not allow the slightest doubt.

"If you ------, use me. Perhaps, maybe I can also do a job as a clerk or something, organize the company's memorabilia, record the company's development, and maybe bind it into a book in the future. Not only can it be used as a training material to educate employees, maybe after 20 years, if the company grows larger, it is not impossible to become an industry biography with a little artistic processing. What do you see?"

This is a very bold "idea", He Wenxuan could not hide his excitement, he himself was also excited by this moment of inspiration and imagination spanning 20 years, can not the person who can have this idea be a genius? He looked at the people in front of him very expectantly, hoping to get a positive reply. But his "idea" was indeed an accident for the few people in front of him, the company had just begun, and no one could have thought that twenty years later, it was too far away. But the unsightly guy in front of him actually dreamed of it before them, and the picture was a little full of temptation.

"We have ideas! We have to work hard to become a biographer of the industry. The excitement and pride of the swallow were ignited.

"Can I read what you wrote someday?" Xiao Song asked, thinking of another question that had arisen from this sudden topic.

"Yes, however, my novel skills still need to be honed, I like some critical social propositions, probably because of age and experience, interesting, storytelling, but not enough ideology, occasionally when the interest is good, you can also add one or two illustrations, it's like that, it's okay to be on the "Story Club". Prose and essays can also be improvised, can be adapted to the situation, mainly the idea and style of the issue needs to be improved. ”

Speaking of his hobbies and specialties, He Wenxuan suddenly radiated light.

"Brother, ------ your photo album"

Xiao Na suddenly had an idea, thinking of those photos at home, didn't Xiao Song always come up with a photo album, and wouldn't it be much better to add some antecedents and posteriors, at least to increase the interest and story! These two may be able to cooperate.

"yes, I'm thinking about that. Xiao Song looked at Xiao Na tacitly.

Liang Xiaofang and Yanzi also understood in an instant.

But He Wenxuan didn't understand what the photo album meant, and his face was unclear, so he was still thinking about the secretary.

"What kind of treatment do you want?" asked Liang Xiaofang, because this was a position that was not planned and had not been discussed before.

"I haven't thought about it, you see that this is okay, as long as the salary of the salesperson is not lower in the first two months, and then you can confirm it according to my work ability and work results. He Wenxuan thought about it and said.

"Okay, how about two hundred yuan first?" Liang Xiaofang said.

"No problem, I'll do it first, and you'll see. He Wenxuan didn't suppress his voice anymore, and replied with confidence and loud. Two hundred yuan, this is the income of the fathers in my hometown who have worked hard for several months on the farmland.

"Welcome to join us. Liang Xiaofang got up and stretched out her hand.

"Then what about ------, suggestion I just made, the matter of the clerk?" He Wenxuan asked, this is a rare idea, and it can't be so ambiguous.

"If you like it, you can do it. There's more to be done than just industry biographies. Xiao Song replied affirmatively in an appreciative tone.

"Great! Do what you like and are good at, and you can make money to support your family, this is the real winner in life!" He Wenxuan slapped the table excitedly, and this sudden and very heroic action frightened several people. But He Wenxuan didn't care at all, he couldn't help but laugh three times in his heart, very presumptuous and presumptuous, this is a kind of catharsis and relief after being suppressed for a long time. He has been in CD for two months, and he has been running around every day for a livelihood, and no one is willing to use someone as talented as him! He is a little high-minded, but he is not arrogant, he knows that even a wolf can hide very meekly in the flock in order to survive. Seeing that the cost of living is about to run out, it's okay now, obviously I accompanied the student to apply, but I didn't expect to pick up such a big bargain, God treats me well------,

I will not disappoint the people who give me opportunities and those who are good to me. He said to himself in his heart.

Finally, the list of confirmations is as follows:

Liu Yong, Tian Tian, Wu Ping, Wang Shufen, Deng Qiqi, Zhang Peng, Jiang Wei, Luo Li, Lai Yongmei, Zou Wenwen, Xu Jun, He Wenxuan;

A total of 12 people, these people are given three days to resign from the original company, start to handle the entry registration next Monday, and then start the training spanning ten days, first by Xiao Na to do basic etiquette training, then by Yanzi to do store sales skills training, then by Liang Xiaofang for customer management training, and finally Zhang Jun appointed people to do professional product training.
