On this day, Xu Shuangchuan had a video interview with a company at home. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

The recruitment information was unintentionally browsed on the Internet, and at that time, she just had the mentality of trying it casually, and sent a copy of her general resume without changing it, anyway, it was just a slip of her hand, and she pressed the order to apply for the position, and she didn't have to spend any effort on her own. Unexpectedly, there was a response soon, and after chatting a few words on the phone, I made an appointment for a remote interview at two o'clock in the afternoon.

The company is indeed a regular company, because of business development, it is necessary to set up liaison offices in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, and use it as the first stop to receive overseas customers. But this idea is still in the initial stage, the company is currently out of all aspects of the cost of comprehensive considerations, do not want to send employees over, after all, the liaison office is officially operational, it is necessary to rent offices and staff dormitories, the cost is not small, the company's management wants to recruit locals, test the effect, the initial use of home work, to co-organize some industrial and commercial registration matters, and responsible for contacting merchants to contact exhibitions, etc.

This is Xu Shuangchuan from the human resources manager in charge of the interview, who sprinkled the company's strategic layout, and sorted it out by himself.

The company gave this position a very interesting title, the chief representative of the regional office.

Xu Shuangchuan received a call from the other party before lunch, in order to learn more about the background of this company, she soaked a bowl of overnight cold rice taken out of the refrigerator with hot water for lunch, and took two roses and tofu milk, and casually shaved a few bites in front of the computer to make do. Who thinks, this improvisation will make her hungry, because the video interview is unexpectedly more than one round, and after talking with personnel, the assistant general manager also has to talk to her, two Chinese, across the screen in English throughout the whole process, probably to test her foreign language level.

Chatting and chatting, when talking about Xu Shuangchuan's educational experience, the assistant general manager said: "I studied in the UK back then. ”

Xu Shuang was stunned and smiled: "I've been to London to play." ”

"I lived in London for a while and the weather was terrible. ”

This has some familiarity, Xu Shuangchuan is very interesting, and she has not had time to cherish this sudden job opportunity from the depths of her heart, so she is more open-minded, she rolled her eyes and smiled politely: "Can I ask a question?"

"Of course. ”

"Your company is real, right?"

The assistant general manager also smiled and replied directly: "Yes, job recruitment is also true, this is the pilot program proposed by our general manager, I hope that the liaison office can be launched after New Year's Day, if it works well, it will be upgraded in the future." ”

Xu Shuang was not moved by the future round cake, she exhaled slightly, the recruitment is real, after all, it will make people extremely unhappy to spend a long time talking to the scam company and telling the scammer all the relevant information about herself.

After chatting for half an hour, I switched back to the HR manager.

"Miss Xu, what we need most is someone who has certain foreign language communication skills, and the ability to handle administrative affairs independently, someone who can work flexibly and can rigidly complete the work goals, someone who can strictly self-manage and self-supervise, your educational background and work experience, at present, there are places that are suitable for us, and there are places that are not suitable for us, thank you for accepting our video interview in the afternoon, through communication, we both have enhanced our understanding. We schedule interviews with other candidates as soon as possible, and then we will identify the best candidates for pre-employment training at the company in late December or early January. Please wait for our phone call. ”

Xu Shuangchuan turned off the video and stood up holding her stomach, she was dying of hunger.

Huh, she shook her nose and sniffed around.

Just now during the interview, Xu Shuangchuan already smelled a smell of paint, and now it is getting heavier. She walked around the room, came to the window, and took a hard breath, and found that the air outside the window was clean.

Xu Shuang looked around puzzled, suddenly came to her senses, opened the door, and sure enough, the smell of paint in the hallway was stronger than her home.

It seems that the painting process is going on next door.

Chen Chi's company has a customer appreciation meeting tonight, and he won't come back for dinner. Xu Shuangchuan couldn't stay at home anymore, and after the door opened, a large smell instantly poured into the house, and she was about to faint. She grabbed her bag, rolled up a large scarf, and went outside to forage for food.

She thought that if she avoided it for a while, the smell would evaporate on its own, but in fact it was her beautiful fantasy.

At five o'clock in the evening, when she came home, the smell of paint in the hallway was still so thick and fierce. Her heart was cold, and she quickly entered the door, and the house was not spared, even if she opened all the windows when she left, and the temperature in the room dropped sharply with the temperature outside, freezing the house into an ice hole, but it was still filled with the obvious smell of paint. Xu Shuang stayed for about ten minutes, and then felt dizzy.

This doesn't work, Xu Shuangchuan thought of a helpless stupid way, took two towels, plugged the crack of the door, and opened the window to breathe, which is called blocking and scattering.

The effect is indeed a little bit, after half an hour, the smell of paint seems to be not as strong as before. But it has always been scattered.

Xu Shuang was extremely uncomfortable, at this time the sky was dark and extremely cold outside, where could she hide? Even if she could go to a certain store to hang out, how long could she go shopping?

She changed her shoes angrily and went out, and today she must come to the door to complain. As she approached the next door, she found something she hadn't noticed before, outside his door, along the root of the wall, there was a used paint bucket, and she looked at it, and she could find the source, and there was still some paint left in it.

"Bang bang bang", Xu Shuang immediately slammed the door angrily.

"Oh......" The door opened, and a man in his thirties looked at her suspiciously.

Xu Shuangchuan was angry, what if the family was strong? She didn't hesitate at all, and asked aggressively, "Is this paint bucket yours?"

The man looked at Xu Shuangchuan's finger and nodded, "Yes." Looking at his expression, it seems that he is still a little confused.

"Can you not put it in the hallway? It smells of paint all over my house, and I can't breathe. Xu Shuangchuan was not tactful at all.

"Oh, good, good. The man was so good that he came out and bent down to pick up the paint bucket.

Xu Shuang looked into the door, there was a bare light bulb with at least forty lights, very bright, and there were a lot of decoration leftovers scattered on the floor, such as sawn plastic pipes, used sandpaper, coil nuts, etc., but not too messy. The whole room looked empty, but it seemed to have begun to take shape.

Two or three meters into the door, there was an old yellow square wooden bench in the middle of the ground, on which two dishes were placed, in a white enamel basin, and on the small low stool next to it sat a woman in her thirties, with her hair unkempt behind her head, wearing a deep khaki overalls for both men and women.

This is the woman who mixes cement and carries cement, she is not thin, and she has a lot of clothes in winter, she sits on such a small low stool, which seems to be very difficult, at this time she is holding the same white enamel basin, which is filled with half a pot of white rice, and she stopped her chopsticks and looked sideways at the door.

Opposite the woman, across the square wooden bench where the dishes were placed, there was a long wooden bench, which was sporadically stained with a lot of vermilion or snow-white paint spots, and there was also an enamel plate at one end, and a few pieces of braised potatoes were covered with rice, and a pair of chopsticks were rested.

Inside and outside the door, Xu Shuangchuan and the woman looked at each other silently.

The man brought the paint bucket into the house.

"Hey......" Xu Shuang subconsciously shouted.

The man looked back puzzled.

"Doesn't it stink?" asked Xu Shuang.

"It doesn't stink, we're used to it. The man laughed, looking very loyal.

"Do you still need to use such a little?" Xu Shuangchuan didn't know what he was going to talk about.

"Well, it's going to work. ”

"I ...... If you can't get used to the smell, you will get dizzy after a while. ”

"I'm sorry, but the paint bucket is out there and scattered in your house, so we'll take it in. The man apologized.

From the gap in the door that was about to close, Xu Shuangxia saw the woman's quiet and peaceful eyes. Until she returned to her house, she still couldn't let go, the unspeakable entanglement.

The clock struck twelve o'clock, Chen Chi gently opened the key lock and entered the door, and when he finished washing up on tiptoe, he quietly went to bed, it was almost half past twelve in the middle of the night.

Xu Shuang turned over and approached him.

Chen Chi lowered his head, the room was dark, and he didn't know if he was awake or asleep.

Xu Shuangchuan's hand climbed on Chen Chi's arm, and Chen Chi laughed: "Haven't fallen asleep yet?"

"Waiting for you. Xu Shuang's voice was vague.

"Didn't you tell yourself to sleep first?" Chen Chi patted her, "I'm back, sleep, sleep." ”

After a while, Xu Shuang's voice rose again, and he seemed to be more sober than before, and sobbed: "Chi, there is a couple living next door." ”

"Huh?"

"Do the decoration, eat and live in it. ”

"Well, what's wrong?"

"It smelled of paint this afternoon, and I noticed a paint bucket outside, so I told them and they put it in. ”

"Oh, I didn't smell anything when I came back. ”

Xu Shuangchuan leaned against Chen Chi, thinking about that woman, her very simple face, and there was no trace of disgust and disgust for the smell on her face. I don't know why, as long as Xu Shuangchuan thinks of that woman sitting there silently, he feels worried and admired.

"Why do the people who do the decoration sleep in it?" said Xu Shuangchuan softly, feeling that he was asking too much.

"It's easy to start work and save money. Chen Chi touched Xu Shuang's head, "Don't say it, it's already late." ”

Xu Shuangchuan really didn't say anything, but she kept thinking about the couple next door with her eyes closed, which was the real husband and wife.

Although it was next door, she and the decorator had never spoken to her, but she had seen the neighbor's aunt come to the door twice to complain.

Today she couldn't bear to complain.

Xu Shuangchuan groped to hold Chen Chi's hand, feeling extremely relieved. She thought in a daze, if she saw the door next door open tomorrow, she would better hide out and find a bookstore to go cheekily for a day.

She was still wondering, that woman was so down-to-earth and hardworking, did she ever have the youthful age to wear lipstick and grease powder?

It's hard to imagine.
