Chapter 62: The Interview

Chen Chen had never experienced such a serious interview situation. Interviewers in a queue hold their resumes in their hands. Chen Chen pulled out the suit he hadn't worn for a long time. In order to be able to customize this suit, she saved up for more than half a year and didn't dare to buy anything indiscriminately. But it's not expensive, she really rarely wears this set. After buying it back, this suit went out with her once, and on the day she was expelled from Luyuan, she didn't want to look embarrassed to go back, so she wore it once. I don't know if it's good to wear this slightly 'unlucky' suit on such a big day as myself. When she tried it on in the morning, she still felt that she was really a selfish person. As far as Zhang Zhe and their negotiations were so important, they were not willing to turn over the suits.

Chen Chen didn't know where he was ranked, all the interviewers were young and immature, they all looked like children who had just graduated from college, wearing suits that didn't fit well, and they were full of vitality. Sitting among them, Chen Chen felt a little dazzling.

"Next, Ms. Chen Chen."

Chen Chen took a deep breath, stood up and walked in. The five interviewers sat side by side in front of them, looking formal and serious. She was suddenly nervous and sat down in her chair as calmly as she could.

"Hello Miss Chen, can you briefly share some of your views on the Sequoia Fund?"

Without hesitation, Chen Chen began to answer

"Sequoia Fund, as one of the few hedge funds in China, has the largest amount of fundraising, and the same market risk it has to bear is also greater than that of other funds. I'm not just talking about the risk of market volatility, our stock market is not just the market that has the final say, we have another main force involved in the checks and balances in the market, that is, the government. When the stock market crashed two years ago and the index was all in the green, the national team rushed into the market with our pension pool to take over is the best example. I checked your company's current team of traders, and the leader is not a financial practitioner in his country, so he can be considered parachuted. I think that as the largest market in Asia, we can even separate a separate category of finance as a research subject, which is very difficult for someone who has only watched our market and has never experienced it firsthand. ”

Regarding the advantages and disadvantages of Sequoia Fund, Chen Chen has been thinking about it for a long time. The founder, Mr. Bolton, has won many battles in the global foreign exchange market, but the whole world knows that he is deflated in the HK market. One thing is enough to show that our market is different from others.

"You seem to be blaming the trading team that we are currently forming."

"I'm completing your interview question, 'Some Thoughts on the Red Hill Fund'"

"Do you think our current team leader selection is slightly flawed?"

"I looked at the rise and fall of Sequoia's formed fund during the closed period. I think your current traders do have this problem. A month ago, looking at the broader market, the index did fall for a while. But the four major brokerages are all members of our national team. If the index fell at that time, it would cause more than half of the funds in the market to lose money, so the four major brokerages operated together to hold up the market, which is what makes us different from other markets, and your company just ignored it, I noticed that when the index forecast fell, your traders sold some of the so-called risk stocks, but later, they did not fall, and there were two hanging on the limit for a week. ”

"Miss Chen, I think your tone is a bit blunt and aggressive." The HR sitting in the main seat suddenly said, "You look nervous. “

Chen Chen was suddenly a little embarrassed, embarrassed after being debunked. She became more nervous, smirked and tried to deny it, but just as she was about to speak, she changed her attention again, it had been debunked, and she simply chose to admit it herself.

"I'm more nervous than you think now, I'm like a little boy at the age of seventeen or eighteen, secretly whistling downstairs at my girlfriend's house and calling her out, for fear of being caught and beaten up by my father-in-law. All of you who are doing it are now my father-in-law. ”

"Hahaha..." Her self-deprecating way worked well, and the atmosphere was less serious. After admitting it to herself, she seemed to be a little more relaxed.

"I thought Miss Chen was very strong, but I didn't expect it to be very humorous."

"Thank you. Just some casual nonsense, don't mind. ”

The ensuing conversation went so smoothly that Chen Chen was surprised. Of course, it may also be that the interviewer has a high emotional intelligence and does not make her feel uncomfortable. As she was leaving, the interviewer sorted out her resume and asked one last question

"You were fired from the Green Park Group, can you explain to me why we hired an employee who was fired by a large company?"

This is exactly what Chen Chen is most worried about. There is no need to conceal it, sooner or later it will be known. This kind of thing is better to say it bluntly than to make up excuses for yourself. Chen Chen didn't plan to hide too much. She decided to put the expulsion on her own strengths.

"After Green Park fired me, they also lost their first negotiator."

Chen Chen still has more than half a year to get his graduation certificate, and he can barely support himself by writing, and the nervousness of facing her dreams is not enough to crush her.

Because it is a dream, it is blessed by luck; If you can't get it, you are beaten by reality. It doesn't matter how it ends.

"You know we'll contact the Green Park Group to determine your previous work performance and status, right?"

"yes, I know."

"Okay, we'll let you know the results, and I'm glad I talked to you today."

Chen Chen stepped forward and shook hands with the interviewer to say goodbye.

The process of waiting for the results is always extremely stressful. In the days that followed, she waited anxiously for a reply. People have a strange state, when waiting for their sweetheart to reply to the message, the first ten minutes are anxiously waiting, ten to twenty minutes are self-comforting, twenty to thirty minutes are depressed, and after thirty minutes, there will be a great understanding to see through the red dust. Chen Chen is the same, from the nervousness at the beginning, to the detachment from the red dust.

Catching up with the weekend, Chen Chen, who is detached from the red dust, needs to simply release the pressure. She chooses to go to the bar alone for a drink.

She doesn't really like loud places, and the deafening music has only one deaf word in her ears. She doesn't like the rhythmic drums or the frantic writhing crowd on the dance floor, but she likes to watch quietly.

Sitting in the position of a spectator and watching other people's lives is more like a pleasure for her. To put it simply, it makes her feel like she is out of the ordinary, and the feeling of being drunk and waking up can instantly fill her heart. In fact, she loved it.

A young man sitting next to him came over with a bottle of wine, and sat on the edge of Chen Chen's table without asking, looking like a blind stream

"Miss, would you like to have a drink?"

"Don't drink it." Chen Chen's hand was clutching his cup and ignoring him. There was a burst of interrupted anger in my heart.

"Ask your friends to watch, you don't give face like this." Blind Stream pushed his glass forward.

"If I drink your wine, my friends will feel shameless." Chen Chen let go of his wine glass and prepared to leave.

"Eh, miss... Blind Stream stood up with his cup in his hand, not intending to give up. Chen Chen was a little nervous, grabbed the bag and walked out, reached into the bag, secretly took out the pepper water spray, and held it in his hand.

"Sir, if others don't drink and continue to stuff it, it's boring to talk to yourself. You have a bottle of wine in your hand, nicknamed 'Lost Wine', you don't have any intentions. ”

The sudden sound was a hint of familiarity, Chen Chen turned his head, and Luo Yangfan grabbed the wrist of the blind stream carrying the wine.

"Luo Yangfan?" Seeing his acquaintances, Chen Chen was relieved. Less scared anymore.

"What? Chick is yours? The blind stream raised his face dissatisfiedly and forced Luo Yangfan to ask.

"What's your business?" Luo Yangfan let go of the blind stream's hand, walked over and stretched out his arm, and weakly escorted Chen Chen out. After the noisy environment calmed down, Chen Chen took a deep breath.

"Thank you, I was a little scared just now." Chen Chen looked at Luo Yangfan with a smile.

"I'm glad I met. Do you feel glad to have met me? Luo Yangfan responded with a smile.

"Of course I'm glad I invite you to have a supper and repay you for saving your life." The small shop on the street was still open, and Chen Chen suggested it.

"Okay, there's a porridge shop on the other street, it's very good, since you have a treat, ask if you want to eat a super large portion of seafood porridge today."

"You don't want to see seafood porridge after you eat it."

With that, the two men walked in the opposite direction to another street.

Passing by the door of the bar, Blind Stream was hiding behind the door and smoking, and when he saw them talking and laughing and walking to the side, Blind Stream suddenly remembered that he had just eaten deflated. His friends at the table were laughing at him, which made him very uncomfortable. He snuffed out his cigarette, beckoned his companion, and hurried to follow.

There are pitch-black alleys everywhere next to the bar, and the alleys without street lights look bottomless in the dark night. Luo Yangfan pulled Chen Chen to the outside and leaned towards the side of the alley.
