Chapter 606: Interview
Xu Jie quietly buried the sourness in his heart, and put on a professional expression to treat his two future employers. Throughout one's life, except in infancy, one has to learn to constantly put a mask on one's face. In other words, it is necessary to practice the skills of changing faces in Sichuan opera.
As long as you learn to change your face, it is enough to avoid becoming more embarrassed when facing any unexpected situation. This is also a basic quality that a business person must have.
As a senior businessman who has worked in the United States for many years, Xu Jie is qualified in this regard. She is no stranger to such situations. It can even be said that from the moment she made up her mind to return to China to face Wang Kai, Xu Jie was ready to put on or take off her mask at any time. It's just that whether to put it on or take it off depends on the situation when you reunite with Wang Kai.
It's a bit regrettable that Xu Jie still can't take off his mask this time, but has to wear it for a longer time.
"Hello! I am Xu Jie, and it is indeed Wang Kai's ...... Senior...... Or maybe Senpai. Nice to meet you, Miss Shen Yiyi. Hope we have a good cooperation in the future. Xu Jie stretched out his right hand and shook it with Shen Yiyi's small hand. The delicate feeling of the other party's fingers made her sigh at the beauty of her youth. Such a beautiful girlhood seems to be far away from me.
Shen Yiyi also stretched out his right hand to shake Xu Jie. She smiled and said to Xu Jie, "Hello, Sister Xu." Wang Kai didn't tell me that you are such a big sister full of intellectual beauty, otherwise I would have prepared a meeting gift for you today. Because your name is very gender-neutral, I always thought it was a boy. You know I'm a girl. It's a bit weird to give a gift to a boy, so I didn't prepare it. So Wang Kai is to blame for this. Don't forget to ask him to make you a gift later. ”
Xu Jie looked at Wang Kai to see how he would take the call. Arrangements like Shen Yiyi. In fact, for Wang Kai, it is like an unreasonable joke. It's not that Wang Kai wants to give gifts to others, and he is not ready, so why should Wang Kai reissue it? But it is such an arrogant and unreasonable logic, but it also shows the closeness of the relationship between the two. Only after the real relationship is good to a certain extent, it is possible to make a small temperament to the other party.
Xu Jie paid attention to Wang Kai's reaction. She was looking forward to Wang Kai's affirmative reply, and some expected Wang Kai's negative reply. She didn't know how to make sense of her ambivalence for a while. If Wang Kai promised to give himself a gift, he would have the opportunity to have private contact with Wang Kai. But this also shows Wang Kai's thoughts about Shen Yiyi. Only a girl who likes it will be so unprincipled to accommodate and spoil each other.
Wang Kai smiled at Shen Yiyi. Turning his head to Xu Jie, he said, "Remind me one by one." How about old classmates, let's have a meal together? ”
Xu Jie was a little sad. He still agreed to Shen Yiyi in the end!
However, Xu Jie still smiled at Wang Kai: "This is not in a hurry." I remember coming for the interview today! At least you have to give me a reply so that I know if I am accepted or not, and then talk about eating! Otherwise, I wouldn't have thought about eating. ”
Xu Jie's words were said to Wang Kai. But his eyes drifted to Shen Yiyi.
Shen Yiyi also laughed when he heard Xu Jie's words: "Okay." We were negligent. But Sister Xu, I have complete trust in Wang Kai. The people he introduced me also fully trusted. Since you were recommended by him, then I would have accepted you as the next general manager of this company a long time ago. So your worries are unwarranted. ”
Wang Kai interjected at this time: "But one by one." I don't agree with you. The company is a company between you and me. So our decision was important for both of us. There is no such thing as one person's decision that can completely replace another's decision. I appreciate your trust in me, but I hope that your trust should not be a reason to omit the necessary personnel review. You are the largest shareholder of the company, and you will be the next general manager to report most often during my absence from Beijing. If you're lazy, you're putting the whole company at risk. So although Senior Sister Xu is a candidate that I trust and highly recommend, your normal inspection procedure should not be omitted. ”
Wang Kai's speech speed is not fast, and his voice is also very gentle, but his attitude is very resolute. This fascinated Xu Jie, who had been separated from Wang Kai for three or four years. The man I was obsessed with back then is still so stylish and sexy. It's just that this tender object has now become the examiner he faces.
As soon as Shen Yiyi saw Wang Kai insisting like this, his heart was no longer relaxed. She can probably understand the reason why Wang Kai insisted today. Even if she agrees to hire Xu Jie, she will be hired today as a parting handover. Wang Kai also hopes to be able to do the rules that should be made. Maybe Xu Jie was Wang Kai's senior before, but Wang Kai still didn't dare to vote for Xu Jie. He hoped that Shen Yiyi would be as vigilant as he should be. Use the system to protect your own rights and interests. So sticking to certain steps that can't be omitted is actually about getting the rules in place from the beginning. Shen Yiyi could appreciate the kindness given by this man.
Since this is the case, Shen Yiyi will live up to Wang Kai's good intentions. She said to Xu Jie with an apologetic expression, "Okay. Wang Kai is also too serious and strict. But I believe that Sister Xu Jiejie is also prepared for his persistence. I think it's better to be like this. We just sit down and go through the general recruitment process. I believe that there is absolutely no problem with your resume, Sister Xu. Sister Xujie, what do you see? ”
When Xu Jie came, he didn't think that he would be accepted all at once. So in fact, she was prepared to be tortured by the "examiner" like the owner of the company. But seeing that Wang Kai clearly showed that she Xu Jie's posture was not completely trustworthy, Xu Jie still felt a little hurt. The honesty that used to be in her is still a good memory, but for Wang Kai, she forgot it all.
Xu Jie nodded to Shen Yi: "Yes." Just ask all your questions. I will know everything, and I will say everything. ”
I got Xu Jie's understanding. Shen Yiyi was very happy. She turned her head to look at Wang Kai: "Okay, Mr. Wang." How do you sit down and start today's interview? You must know that our General Manager Xu is now sitting in the position of an interviewer. If you sit directly like this. It's like we were interviewed by General Manager Xu. ”
Shen Yiyi wanted to joke. But this joke made Xu Jie a little embarrassed. When he was waiting for Shen Yiyi and Wang Kai to come over in the office, Xu Jie took the opportunity to sit on the chair where Wang Kai was originally sitting. This is actually not wrong, because according to Shen Yiyi and Wang Kai's assumptions, Xu Jie will take over this piece of work from Wang Kai in the future. In other words, she will take on the role of general manager in the future. Since Wang Kai is sitting in the general manager's office, the future general manager should indeed sit in this position.
But this matter was problematic when Wang Kai insisted that Shen Yiyi interview Xu Jie in accordance with the normal way. In general business etiquette, the position where the examiner or the superior sits is different from the position where the examiner or the lower person sits. Generally, the position facing the gate is a more honorable position. Give it to distinguished guests or officials. That's why Shen Yiyi said that if Xu Jie's current position was sitting, and Wang Kai and Shen Yiyi were sitting opposite her, it would really look like Shen Yiyi and Wang Kai were going to be assessed by Xu Jie. Of course. Such a joke would make Xu Jie feel very embarrassed.
Listening to Shen Yiyi's banter, Xu Jie wanted to stand up immediately and give up his position to Shen Yiyi, but Shen Yiyi stopped: "Don't, Sister Xu Jie." I was just kidding. Don't take it seriously. Actually, it's nothing. Today we are talking about meeting everyone, but in fact, it is not only us who is testing you, but also you are testing us. I have always believed that in a society as highly liberal as today, everyone has the freedom to choose. It's like the job needs the right people to do it, and the right people are looking for the right job. The ultimate goal is to be able to find a job that I am comfortable doing and have a sense of maturity. In this sense, you are also an examiner, and we are also your candidates. ”
Wang Kai also felt a little big at this time. Since he brought it up, he insisted on the interview in order to emphasize a normativeness. Then the format of the interview is also very important. Obviously, if you sit in a different position than usual, then it is not a standardized interview. It's just that at this time, it seems very deliberate to ask Xu Jie to stand up and change positions with himself and Shen Yiyi one by one. It's a bit of a clumsy act. At this time, he rolled his eyes and found the sofa in his room that had been placed there for possibility, but the last time Shen Yiyi slept on it.
Wang Kai said to Shen Yiyi and Xu Jie: "Okay, don't really take it too seriously. Let's go with a more relaxed atmosphere. You see, we all sat on that sofa, and then one by one we faced the side of the door, and Senior Sister Xu sat on the other side. The atmosphere can be both serious and lively, you see? ”
Shen Yiyi glanced at the sofa, turned back to Xu Jie, and said, "Senior Sister Xu, what do you say?" I think Wang Kai's suggestion is good. Let's just sit down on that couch. Anyway, there is still a coffee table on the side, and then let Wang Kai make us a cup of coffee later. Let's have an American-style headhunting recruitment. ”
As he spoke, he pulled Xu Jie to sit on the sofa. When he walked to the edge of the sofa, Shen Yiyi turned back to Wang Kai and said, "Wang Kai, can you do me a favor?" Make a cup of coffee for each of us. This is the first time that Shen Yiyi has expressed his request to Wang Kai in a coquettish tone. This made Wang Kai feel his heart crisp when he listened to Shen Yiyi's last prolonged tail note.
However, Wang Kaike did not agree immediately. On the contrary, he said to Shen Yiyi very disapprovingly: "You still want to drink coffee?" How busy have you been these days? After drinking coffee, are you still sleeping tonight? Aren't you the most particular about health and beauty? Why, don't pay attention to beauty sleep today? ”
Shen Yiyi spread his hands one by one: "You also know that I have been busy with that research topic for the past few days, and I either use my brain or my hands all day long." It's busy anyway. So now, I'm probably so tired that I fall asleep as soon as my head sticks to the pillow. So a cup of coffee doesn't affect me that much. Besides, inviting Sister Xu Jiejie to drink coffee here is similar to drinking. If I don't drink and watch Sister Xu Jie's drink here, Sister Xu Jiejie will feel uncomfortable, and I will feel like a word. ”
Shen Yiyi said his reasoning, but Wang Kai didn't eat her set. Although Wang Kai is very conniving with Shen Yiyi, it does not include that he will condone Shen Yiyi to harm his body. So Wang Kai resolutely rejected Shen Yiyi's request: "That's not good." The harmful effects of coffee on the body have been scientifically proven. You are not yet an adult and cannot drink this drink that contains stimulants and promotes calcium loss. As for Senior Sister Xu's part, I'll just accompany her to drink. You are not allowed to drink it. In the end, Xu Jie's expression was very serious.
Shen Yiyi saw that Wang Kai couldn't be accommodating, and he had no choice. She spread her hand towards Xu Jie, and stuck out her tongue: "Sister Xu Jie, look at him!" I can't help it. I had to ask him to accompany you for coffee. But maybe this is your first coffee since you left Pennsylvania, right? She asked Xu Jie with some curiosity.
Without waiting for Xu Jie's answer, Wang Kai interjected: "Let's not talk about that yet." Sister Xujie, you still like to drink espresso, right? Do you want a single or double serving? I remember you always liked to drink doubles. Do you want me to give you some more of that? ”
Xu Jie saw that Wang Kai still remembered his habit of drinking coffee, and he didn't know whether to be moved or sad. Because the reason why she wanted to drink strong coffee back then, it was because she had to drive a night train every day. In order not to let myself doze off, I drink strong coffee every day. Wang Kai remembered this, but he didn't expect what he said to Shen Yiyi before. Since coffee will cause the loss of calcium in the body, for a senior sister who is obviously older than Shen Yiyi and has begun to lose the elements of her physique, is she not afraid of calcium loss when she drinks strong coffee?
However, Xu Jie finally nodded and asked Wang Kai to help him make a cup of espresso. And Wang Kai is the same as when he was in the United States, just got a cup of hot cocoa and drank it himself.
When the coffee was served, Wang Kai was laughed at by Shen Yiyi, saying that he specially drank the drinks that girls used when they came to their aunts, which was really fun enough. (To be continued.) )
