219 Interview with Wu Xiaoqing
When Cai Yun walked into this company, his first feeling was that it was a little strange.
I can't tell you how weird it is, but people who are used to being journalists have an instinct for a lot of things. This feeling made her subconsciously increase her attention while she waited, and observed the employees here.
"Hello, Miss Cai. I'm Yan Yan. ”
"Hello."
"The time you made an appointment with Mr. Wu is 9:15." Yan Yan looked at her phone and confirmed the time.
"Yes," Cai Yun said, "Do you always have to make a measure in advance?" Mr. Wu shouldn't have any other arrangements, right? "Director Chen has played with her, and this Mr. Wu's pomp and circumstance is not even bigger than Director Chen.
"Oh no, I'm just reminding you, it's only 8 o'clock. You can go downstairs and have breakfast first. ”
"It's okay, I brought breakfast," Cai Yun took out a sandwich from his bag, "I'm waiting here, will it disturb your work?" ”
"It's fine. There's a coffee bar over there...... Drinks and snacks are pleased. ”
"Thank you."
"You're welcome."
Listening to the words, this "director" Yan, who is two or three years younger than himself, is obviously not particularly good at talking, and it doesn't seem to want to be the management - maybe the information department is more technical. The makeup on the face is also average, and it is basically student makeup.
However, this suit fits quite well, and the material should not be bad. If you look at the other people in the company, they are all the same, all wearing crisp suits.
This is where Cai Yun feels weird.
The location of the Qingtian Building is not good in Ningzhou City, and as the location of the company, it can even be said to be biased. Most of the companies working in this building are not well-known. When he came up just now, Cai Yun also saw two companies doing e-commerce, asking employees to gather together to do morning exercises and shout slogans.
The employees of the two e-commerce companies are also wearing suits.
But the difference between a suit and a suit is the same as the difference between a car and a car, if you don't understand, you can only look at four wheels, a steering wheel, and at most count a few doors. But if you understand, you can see something in every detail.
These things are a lot of complicated things to say, and if you really want to understand this, you can write these things out of a basic book. But in fact, in the final analysis, it is just one word, money.
Generally speaking, in China, most of the companies that have dress codes are actually service industries.
Banking, Sales, Insurance...... It is really because these industries rely heavily on customers that they need to dress professionally and solemnly to reflect the importance that enterprises attach to this aspect. But in fact, most employees who wear suits to work hate this outfit very much, for a simple reason - it is really uncomfortable to wear a suit that does not fit.
When you wear a suit, you also need to wear a tie and a shirt inside, and you need to pay attention to cleaning the stains on your clothes. It can be said that the maintenance of the suit alone takes two or three hours a week for each person, which is almost equivalent to half a day's working time.
As a high-end clothing, the suit has high requirements for the environment. It's like those e-commerce companies downstairs, let employees wear suits to do radio gymnastics, the temperature of the air conditioning in the office is not enough, it is hot like a steamer in summer, and shivering in winter. In such an environment, the suit naturally does not have much effect when worn, but gives people a very awkward and deliberate feeling.
To really wear the suit out of grade and wear out the feeling, in addition to the material and cut of the suit itself to reach the grade, the person who wears it must also have a suitable mood - every day in the company is urged by the boss to work overtime, busy in the dark industry, it is difficult to wear the suit leisurely.
Not to mention ordinary employees, many of the companies Cai Yun has seen are still the bosses of large companies, wearing suits, and they also look like nouveau riche.
But here, in a seemingly ordinary consulting company, in a very ordinary office building, Cai Yun saw every employee in the entire company, wearing suits without brands.
The suits are not branded, but they look very comfortable, which can only show one thing, these suits are specially customized.
Looking at the expressions of these employees, a few of them came to the office and drank coffee near the bar slowly. Having a bar in a small office area is unbelievable in itself, and even more incredible is that all the employees don't look like they're working. Let's just talk about the young director just now, who is really drinking coffee and chatting with a few of her subordinates.
It looked like it was almost half past eight o'clock, and they had been drinking this cup of coffee for almost half an hour, and it seemed that they didn't have the intention of finishing it at all.
After the follow-up employees came in, they didn't turn on the computer, they went to the bar one by one to pour coffee, and then they chatted about gossip, celebrity gossip, TV drama plots, and even openly chatted about games.
Cai Yun took a look at the company's schedule of work and rest, and the official working time was half past eight.
In other words, it's already time to go to work!
But none of these people went to work in front of their own computers! They are all openly deserting! And it's the director who takes the lead!
Is this a company run by philanthropists?
And no one to take care of these people? Where have the general managers, HR, and people gone? Not to mention deducting wages, at least say a few words.
Cai Yun felt that he suddenly began to get angry, why did he have to leave two hours in advance for work, and he couldn't even squeeze out time for breakfast, for fear of being late for a traffic jam or something, and then he would arrive an hour early. And these people ...... Many people even ate it, and now they are all 40 minutes, and they are coming in one by one!
Cai Yun noticed that this company doesn't even have a punch card machine! I didn't see them take out their phones and punch in on the software.
Before coming, Cai Yun didn't quite believe that the "Mr. Wu" he wanted to interview was just a junior high school student. Now, she is beginning to believe a little - if it weren't for the boss being so stupid, what kind of company employee could be so virtuous?
At this time, another person came in, and the employees who drank coffee straightened their waists this time and greeted the newcomer: "Mr. Chen, morning." ”
"Morning, everybody." This person called Mr. Chen didn't seem to care about the relaxed atmosphere in the office at all, and went directly to his general manager's office without raising his head.
Managing director? That's it?
Cai Yun's first feeling is that such a company has been open for almost half a year, and it hasn't closed down yet? Is it so lucrative to be a screenwriter? Can't run out of such a mess?
And then another one came in. The employees all raised their eyes as just now, the difference was that they all quickly turned their eyes to Yan Yan, Yan Yan also noticed this, turned his head, and said to the visitor: "Come so early?" Didn't you say that you should sleep more when you have jet lag? ”
"I've slept too much." The voice of the person who spoke sounded brittle, and when he looked at his face, he looked jerky like a high school student. He still has several books of mathematics in his hand, physics in the first year of high school, and mathematics in the first year of high school...... It looks like this is a high school student. Is it a relative of the employee? Can this company let relatives come over and drink coffee?
Cai Yunzhi was stunned to see this person pour himself a cup of hot chocolate on the coffee table, and then unceremoniously grabbed a large handful of biscuits, and unscrupulously stuffed them into his mouth, while eating, he also creaked and made a rude sound, listening to the sound as if he hadn't eaten for a few days.
And the way he sits - the bar chair is so small that it can basically fit a butt, but the whole body of this person unconsciously turns around the chair, as if the chair is a screw, and he just fits the nut on.
"Mr. Wu," Yan Yan took a red pen to Wu Xiaoqing to correct the test papers, and reported to work, "Let's go to the office quickly after eating...... There are a lot of slips waiting for you to sign, most of them are payment. Also, you have an appointment in 20 minutes. ”
Yan Yan glanced at Cai Yun's direction with his eyes: "The reporter from the Ningzhou Evening News made an appointment for an interview, and you agreed on the phone." ”
Cai Yun only felt that her brain was stunned, she looked at the young boy eating biscuits in front of her, and remembered Director Chen at the press conference, Director Chen and those actors praised Wu Xiaoqing without hesitation: "Wu Xiaoqing is the most talented screenwriter I have seen in the industry for 20 years, and I have ...... the most talented screenwriter I have ever seen."
"Mr. Wu's on-site demonstration in the crew left a deep impression on each of us......"
Wu Xiaoqing also turned his eyes at this time and glanced at Cai Yun, but did not linger in the slightest, and returned his attention to the pile of biscuits in front of him. At the same time, his mouth is like a threshing machine in the countryside, throwing a lot of food scraps around his body.
"It's delicious!" Wu Xiaoqing swallowed the contents of his mouth with satisfaction and let out a heartfelt admiration - you must know that during the mission, for the sake of safety, most of the time he eats is jelly-like liquid food, although the taste is not bad, but how can it be compared with normal food that can be refused? In Yevgeny's words, this food on the space station is like eating toothpaste.
But after a short period of happiness, there is destined to be a long torment.
Interview, famous...... Although these contents have long been arranged by the search and rescue team, and he has seen them a long time ago, when this day really comes, Wu Xiaoqing is still a little overwhelmed. It's the same as the number he saw on his bank card.
But it's your job after all.
After taking the last sip of chocolate, Wu Xiaoqing walked into the office.
It took 10 minutes to solve all the documents that needed to be signed, and another 10 minutes to make four video calls - Wu Xiaoqing didn't even know anyone on the other side of the phone, but the other side was already very familiar with Wu Xiaoqing's voice. The reason why the video is needed is nothing more than the final identification - the necessary procedures before signing the contract and making the payment.
It is now difficult for Wu Xiaoqing to distinguish which part of his life belongs to him and which part belongs to the search and rescue team. Is it himself carrying out the will of the search and rescue team, or is the search and rescue team helping him to live.
