Chapter 186: The manager of the circle company
It's just that the real situation is bleak, which poured cold water on the ambitious Gu Cheng. It is estimated that because it is not the period of large-scale job fairs, there are only a few frustrated companies in the market, and some of the publicity signs are old. Apparently rooted in the fight for a long time. And there are even fewer people looking for jobs. There were only twenty or thirty people who came to ask in the afternoon. Half of the majors were wrong, and the other half heard that the company was in Quanxian, so they were defeated and scattered.
At about five o'clock in the evening, Tian Zhong and the others, who were distributing wild advertisements, rushed back tired and reported to Gu Cheng: "Boss, the leaflets have been distributed." Some of the corner poles are also pasted. β
"Huh! Good. Gu Cheng felt funny, the telephone pole has always been a gathering place for the surname disease, and his own company flyer was also pasted, it is really difficult to start a business! This is still a situation where you have your own capital, not to mention the difficulty of not having money.
"Okay, stay in the hotel tonight, and stick to it tomorrow." Gu Cheng puffed up his breath and gave the order with pride.
After dinner, I found a similar hotel and asked for three rooms, one for Gu Cheng, one for Shen Ting, and one for the remaining two people. With the key in hand, several people went upstairs together and entered their respective rooms.
The next day, early in the morning, Gu Cheng and the others got up, then ate some breakfast, and went to the talent exchange market with a hundred times more energy. This time, no more leaflets were distributed, and four people sat behind a desk to review the scattered questioners.
There was no movement in the morning, Gu Cheng couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and went out to have lunch with Shen Ting. And Tian Zhong and the others stayed behind.
"Boss, the situation is not optimistic." Shen Ting said while eating.
"Well, there are no job fairs now, and there are usually too few people." Gu Cheng also wondered, it seems that this year is not as good as later, and the talent exchange market is crowded from beginning to end. Thinking back to the year he graduated, and then came here to look for a job, the hot scene of rubbing shoulders every day. And now, it's deserted.
"Why don't you go to the university, the school should be easier?" Shen Ting proposed.
Gu Cheng thought about it, nodded and agreed: "Okay, stay for another day, if not, go to Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology to have a look." β
After lunch, and bringing takeaway to two conscientious subordinates, Gu Cheng sat back on the chair and stared at the scene of the crowd in a daze.
After sending away a girl with a face full of regret, Gu Cheng shook his head helplessly: "Is it nonsense to open a company in Quanxian County?" I don't want to come to the place when I hear it. β
What the hell, the other three naturally have a measure. Technology network companies, not to mention that they must be in large coastal cities, at least in provincial cities. But now it's good, the boss Chrysostom Yuyan, in Quanxian County, although the environment is well arranged, but how people look at it is not appropriate.
However, no one would mention these words to Gu Cheng. Because Gu Cheng didn't reveal the intention of relocating from beginning to end.
A self-deprecating sentence, a man in his thirties walked over on the right, wearing a crumpled suit, wearing glasses and a polite appearance, hesitantly standing in front of the recruitment column, looking at the propaganda above.
"Hello!" Seeing this, Tian Zhong hurriedly greeted. The man nodded, looked at a few young people, and asked hesitantly, "Circle company?" Which circle chat software was developed by your company? Is your company hiring? β
"That's right! It is a product of our company. Our company is in a period of great development and continues to replenish a large number of personnel. What position would you like to apply for, sir? Shen Ting asked with a smile. No matter what the name of the original software is, and the official registration has not yet had time to change. Gu Cheng has already called the chat software "circle", the symbol is "oo", the two letters o, the meaning is very simple, circle all users. Of course, external propaganda is to communicate with the entire planet of human beings.
"Ahem." The man coughed, lowered his eyes, and then asked hesitantly: "I want to apply for the general manager, or the head of the market research and development department, is there a vacancy?" β
"This?" Everyone looked at each other, Tian Zhong asked with a smile: "There are a large number of vacancies in the company, and what you said are recruiting, may I ask, your work experience?" β
The man didn't think about whether this kind of company was a liar, sighed, took out his resume from the small briefcase in his hand, and handed it to Shen Ting and the others: "My work experience is written on it, take a look." β
"Okay. Please wait a moment, sir. Shen Ting replied with a smile. Then, a few people all looked together, and there were no rules.
"You? You areβ. Zuo Qing looked at his resume and suddenly exclaimed: "Are you Xiao Value?" A deep Xiao value? β
Tian Zhong was also surprised: "Xiao value? Is it really you? How would you? β
Shen Ting and Gu Cheng were both confused, not understanding why the other two were so shocked.
Seeing this, Tian Zhong hurriedly explained: "Boss, Xiao Zhi is a well-known name in the Chinese Internet industry, and the personal webpage he founded has won the fifth most visited record in the country. β
Xiao Zhi smiled embarrassedly, then sat on the chair and replied: "I am Xiao Value, don't mention the past." As soon as the dot-com bubble came, millions of belongings were lost. Now, is my work experience okay? β
Tian Zhong and Zuo Qing both had the same expression of seeing their idols, and nodded excitedly, but the boss was not them. They both looked at Gu Cheng in unison.
Gu Cheng asked, "Is this Mr. Xiao very famous?" β
"Hmm!" Tian Zhong Zuoqing nodded again and again.
"Then may I ask Mr. Xiao, since you have such a good experience, why don't you apply for a job in another big company?" Gu Cheng looked at Xiao Zhi and asked.
Holding his eyes, Xiao Wei smiled gloomily: "The main reason for my company's failure is that I made a mistake in decision-making, misjudged the prospects of Huaguo's Internet, and my reputation is stinky, and now it is the winter of the Internet, and all companies are not short of manpower, and those who want me to go over are just to be a staff member or a small department leader." I just can't face that. β
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Zhi raised his head: "Of course, now that I have been idle for more than half a year, it is more important to support my family." So I came out and looked for a job. My wife persuaded me to go to Kyoto to work hard again, but I went through this incident. Seeing yourself clearly, it is not suitable to be a leader, and my heart is much lighter. Your company doesn't know why, but it operates in Quanxian County. But I also use the circle software you developed. I believe that the prospects are still very large. β
"Oh!" So that's the case, Gu Cheng slightly understood Xiao Zhi's situation. It's nothing more than a desperate rush to the doctor, and I just happened to meet a good one. He looked straight, and then explained: "Mr. Xiao, although the company is now developing preliminarily, there is no need for people who do not have fighting spirit and drive. Are you sure you can lead the company? β
Xiao Zhi was overjoyed when he heard this, isn't this just asking himself if he can be a good manager? I have led a team of hundreds of people, and I still have some experience.
Nodding firmly in agreement, Xiao Zhi replied loudly: "I believe that I can be qualified for this job and help your company develop rapidly, after all, my family needs my support." β
"Okay." Finally recruiting a talent, Gu Cheng was secretly happy in his heart, and he also had a smile on his face: "Xiao Value, you are older than me, let's call you Brother Xiao, come, come and sit down and recruit employees together." β
Xiao Zhi bowed his head gratefully: "Don't dare to be, boss." β
Subsequently, the five of them sat together, and Shen Ting talked in detail about the history and current situation of the company, and the reason why the boss was a little hairy child. At this time, Xiao Wei realized that the handsome-looking young man in front of him was still in junior high school. In vain, more than 20 people moved to China in vain, and they were complacent and didn't know why. And the boss Gu Cheng, who is eighteen years old and has a net worth of billions, is developing in obscurity. Judge from above! Xiao Zhi's arrogance, which he didn't have, was completely extinguished.
On this day, until the end of the afternoon, except for Xiao Value, no one explicitly joined. Many of them leave a resume and then say that they will go back and think about it. The situation can be described as very sad.
Seeing this scene, Shen Ting told everyone about her proposal, and collectively agreed to go to Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology to recruit people. Because at this time, computer talents are not as bad as they were later, and they are considered to be fashionable and high-paying professions that everyone admires.
Since the company went bankrupt and lost everything, Xiao Wei returned to Jiangcheng from Kyoto, which is his wife's hometown. The husband and wife and a three-year-old child were crowded into their father-in-law's house. Just because his parents are farmers, and the rural areas of the other provinces cannot provide any help to their son.
I got on the bus and put five cents into the box. Xiao Zhi held the railing in his hand, and still couldn't help but think back to today's experience.
Since the company failed last fall, he spent a few months in Kyoto, and returned to his father-in-law before the New Year, although the situation of the father-in-law's family is not very good, but it is a city, and for him to study IT, it is not a desert. So I stayed there all the time. Who knew that the good times didn't last long, and it didn't take long for my mother-in-law to start sighing all day long. Xiao Wei naturally understood the meaning, it was nothing more than asking him to find a job quickly.
Fortunately, my father-in-law only has a wife and a daughter, otherwise I guess I wouldn't be able to live for a long time. Even so, more and more quarrels are occurring at home. He's been looking for a job since more than a month ago.
Just, is it so easy to find a job?
Xiao Value's situation, I know it well, it can be said that it is not high, but it is not low. Ordinary staff, he didn't look down on it at all, and felt that it was an insult. Arrogance is inevitable for him as a young man. And the head of the head, which one will recruit all day long? Therefore, after coming and going, Xiao Zhitianming came out to run blindly in the streets and alleys of Jiangcheng, and went back at night with a guilty face.
The bus staggered and stopped on the side of a dusty road. Xiao Shi jumped out of the car and walked home.
My father-in-law's house is a residential building from the 80s, and now it looks very dilapidated. There are only two rooms, and Xiao Zhi and his wife and son are crammed into one room. Coupled with the second elder, the five of them nested in one place all day long, and they were disturbed when they looked at it. The old couple are retired, and they have nothing to do every day, but they can help with the children. And his wife worked as a salesperson through the relationship between her parents, earning a few hundred yuan a month.
It was getting late, and the sun had already set in the west, and the afterglow reflected small patches of red glow. Xiao Zhi walked upstairs with light steps, happily went upstairs, and when he arrived at the door of the house, he changed the habit of taking out the key to enter the house by himself. Instead, he knocked on the door: "Wife, open the door." β
After a while, the iron-framed door was opened, and the mother-in-law inside said with a disdainful face: "Come back, come back, knock on the door, you have the key and someone else will open it." β
"Mom, I've got a job." Xiao Wei didn't know the same as the old man, so he announced it when he entered the house with a smile.
"What?" The two old men were stunned. And Xiao's wife, who came out of the bedroom, also said in surprise: "You got a job?" β
"That's right! Wife. Mom and Dad. I'm out here today and I've got a job. Xiao Wei said happily, and then saw his son sitting in the living room with a TV, and hugged him and swayed when he went up: "Son, Dad has found a job, and he will buy you a lot of toys in the future." Are you happy? β
"Toys!" Xiao Zhi's son didn't understand anything, and laughed with the family.
"Husband, tell me quickly, what kind of job is it?" Xiao's wife didn't care about helping her mother cook dinner, so she hurriedly took Xiao Value's arm and sat down and asked. And the two old men also came to the front and looked at Xiao Value expectantly.
With a whole throat and looking at the festive atmosphere of the family, Xiao Wei replied: "At noon today, I went to the talent market and saw a company that happened to recruit a manager, and then I applied for the job, and I was directly selected." The boss asked me to go to the University of Science and Technology tomorrow to recruit new people! β
"Manager? More than a month's salary? His mother-in-law immediately asked. And Xiao's wife was a little puzzled: "Husband, why does the company want to recruit many people?" β
"Well, the company hasn't been created for a long time, and now is the time to make a big difference." Xiao Wei held his glasses and said in high spirits: "The salary, hehe, only high, not low, now the initial is five thousand, the bonus is calculated separately, if you do a good job, the boss said that he will give shares." β
"Five thousand?" The father-in-law and mother-in-law are all amazed, and it is no wonder that although this son-in-law has earned a lot of face. But after a long period of sinking, the old couple is also very sad. Finally, the clouds cleared. The father-in-law hurriedly said, "Xiao Value, I'll call and tell your parents the good news." β
"Hmm!" Xiao nodded heavily, and his wife was even more strange. There are a lot of scam companies now, don't be deceived. She hurriedly asked, "Husband, is there no problem with the company?" Just created and recruiting a lot of people? β
"No problem." Xiao Wei patiently explained: "The chat software I used in the past two days was developed by the company. Well, the boss bought it from the deep market. Also, who the boss is, you definitely don't believe it. β
"Who is it?" Xiao's wife said strangely.
Xiao Wei walked into the bedroom, took out a book, and said to his wife: "It's you the author of "Da Ming" - Gu Cheng!" β
"Gu Cheng!?" Xiao's wife couldn't close her mouth in surprise, and she said in disbelief: "Won't it? Husband, you're not lying to me, are you? β
No wonder she doesn't believe that one is a cutting-edge and powerful writer in the Chinese literary scene who is now becoming famous. The other is the big boss of the Internet company. The gap between them is too big, no matter how talented a person is, he can't cross it!
"It's Gu Cheng!" Xiao nodded definitely: "I'm also surprised." When I saw him, I realized the saying that there are people outside the world. He not only wrote books but also started a company. And there are already two chain Internet cafes at home in Quanxian County. I didn't say much today, but listen to him, there are other projects to enter. β
"This? Really? Xiao's wife was stunned, and her heart fluctuated. She thought about the surprise of reading the novel "Da Ming", because it didn't look like it was written by a young man. The pen is so old that the artistic conception is far-reaching, as if someone is cheating on behalf of him. Recently, there has been more and more news about questioning the author of the novel "Da Ming".
However, if Gu Cheng is really like what her husband said. The authenticity of the novel can be determined for the most part!
At dinner that day, in a happy atmosphere, Xiao Wei had a rare appetite and ate a few more dishes made by his mother-in-law. After that, I picked up the phone again and told my parents the good news. At night, the couple went to bed.
Xiao's wife snuggled in her husband's arms, her face was charming, her long hair was slightly curly and her surname was on her shoulders, her face was crimson, and she was obviously emotional.
Seeing this, Xiao Zhi's heart was also hot, and he was even more moved. He and his wife were college classmates, and as city people, they took a fancy to their poor boys in the countryside. Regardless of the opposition of his family and friends, he married him himself. It's a lot of impedance. It took a few years, and after his company's small success, the resistance slowly disappeared.
And this year, I have lived in my wife's house. Eating and drinking for nothing, my wife went out to work without regrets. Xiao Zhi kissed him gratefully: "Wife, thank you." In the future, I promise to let you two live a good life. β
"Hmm. Husband! Mrs. Xiao was also very happy and responded softly. Finally, he turned his head to see that his son was already asleep. She smiled: "Come on, people want it." β
"Good!" Xiao Shi saw his wife's delicate dripping expression, and the grapes in his palms gradually hardened, and he didn't understand anything. As soon as his heart was hot, he pulled up the quilt to cover his body, and then got into the quilt and moved on his wife, and the night of joy was a long-lost comfort.
The next day, Xiao Zhi got up together and found that the quilt was empty, so he looked at the time and hurriedly put on his clothes. Out of the bedroom, he saw that his wife was also dressed in a clean women's suit, sitting at the dining table with a radiant face and drinking millet porridge.
"Wife, aren't you going to work?" Xiao Wei asked strangely while brushing his teeth and washing his face.
"I'm taking a leave of absence to see your boss, it's rare to have this kind of opportunity. Help you check the gates. Mrs. Xiao replied with a smile.
"Oh! Okay, then you can come with me later. Xiao Wei thought about it, and it didn't seem to be much of a problem, so he agreed.
After breakfast, the son was taken outside by his mother-in-law to play. Xiao Zhi wore a brand-new suit and went out with his wife. The bus changed twice and stopped at the majestic gate of Jiangcheng University of Science and Technology.
After waiting for a while, Xiao saw a spacious Mercedes-Benz parked in front of him. And a few people I saw yesterday came out of it.
Seeing this, Xiao's wife suddenly lost most of her heart. Even a scammer wouldn't bother to hire a high-end car.
"Manager Xiao, who is this?" Gu Cheng walked to Xiao Zhi's side and looked at a woman standing beside him suspiciously.
