Chapter 7: Interviews
Monday, fine. Sun Yimin was woken up by the alarm clock that had been set.
It's an antique round mechanical alarm clock with a cute look that was given by my only girlfriend when I was in college. Now, despite the passage of time, he has become accustomed to relying on it to get out of bed. Six years have passed, and the red metal shell of the alarm clock has been rusted and mottled.
When he awoke, a flash of red morning light had fallen on the bay window of his small room. Today is a sunny day.
The morning sun also shone into his newly awakened heart. When he first arrived, he was full of longing for life. He's looking forward to finding his dream boat in the city.
Since submitting his resume through the recruitment website yesterday, Sun Yimin's mailbox has received several interview invitations. Among them, there are some medium-sized IT companies that are still well-known, such as "Guang Xiao", who will go to the interview today.
It is an online game design and operation company. The name "Guang Yi" is deeply impressed in his memory, just because it once designed a popular domestic real-time strategy game, Sun Yimin was addicted to this game back then, which affected his studies, and eventually led to Sun Yimin's failure in an important professional course. But fortunately, he worked hard since then, reformed himself, quit games to specialize in his studies, and finally achieved excellent results in the graduation exam.
It is a pity that this domestic game quickly declined and was drowned in the overwhelming tide of imported games. But now it seems to have seized the opportunity of the tide of online games to rise again and become a well-known online game operating company in China.
Guangwei Company is located in Futian District, more than half an hour's drive from Nanshan District, where Liu Ronghua Community is located. Although Liu Ronghua has a private car, his company is in Nanshan District. Therefore, it is also inconvenient to hitchhiking.
What's more, at this moment, Liu Ronghua is still asleep. Looking at Liu Ronghua, the door was closed, and Sun Yimin was very envious. As a boss, how comfortable and happy it is to go to work at what time you want.
He washed up briefly and changed into a plaid shirt. I went downstairs and bought some buns casually, and rushed to the Haiyue subway station while eating. It is about a 20-minute walk from the neighborhood to the metro station. It is possible to reach by bus or on foot.
It was still early to arrive at the "Guangyu" time, so Sun Yimin took the opportunity to visit the company's internal environment along the way. I found that the decoration style is unique and avant-garde, and the office atmosphere is vibrant. Perhaps the type of software developed and operated is aimed at young people, and most of the company's employees are young people in their 20s.
In the corridor to the interview venue, Sun Yimin came across a group of game cosplay girls in fancy costumes, and when the girls saw him, they greeted him enthusiastically. And when they passed by, several of the women turned around and watched his back leave.
Such a fresh and refined working environment sparked his curiosity.
There was a long queue at the entrance of the interview room, and he waited for half an hour to get in.
The space is spacious, but there is nothing but a row of tables and chairs and a separate office chair opposite.
He paced to the chair in front of the table and sat down. glanced at the staff in front of him: there were a total of 6 interviewers, and each of them had a sign in front of them, with their names and positions on them.
One of them, a woman in her mid-35s, stood out in the group: she had short professional hair and heavy makeup. The deliberately modified eyebrow shape looks a little unnatural; The dark and thick eye sockets look bewitching and exaggerated.
The dazzling and plump of flaming red lips. Overall, it looks like this face is quite upright.
The most annoying red lips on the deputy face seem to Sun Yimin to have something wrong for some reason - but he can't say what the specifics are. Either way, he would always think of two sausages with bad intentions.
The sign in front of her reads: "Vice President: Du Fangfang".
Du Fangfang was wearing a professional white shirt, which seemed to be too abrupt on her chest, which made her sitting posture look farther away from the table than the men on both sides of the table at the same time. However, due to the cover of the table, Du Fangfang's other physical conditions are unknown.
One of them was a middle-aged man in a green plaid shirt, with a high hairline and almost baldness, and a pair of black-framed eyes. At this moment, he was looking at Sun Yimin and didn't say a word. The name tag in front of him reads: "Zhao Yanqing".
After being signaled by a male HR department head next to Du Fangfang, Sun Yimin made a brief self-introduction.
After finishing, HR was about to open his mouth to ask some investigative questions, but was interrupted by Du Fangfang beside him raising his hand. The man obediently shut up and called him "Mr. Du".
Mr. Du nodded, his eyes staring at Sun Yimin for about 5 seconds, which made him a little embarrassed.
Then he spoke, and his voice was a little rough: "I won't ask anything else." Looking at your resume, it seems that you have not worked in online game development, so do you think you have enough professional foundation to work in our company? ”
Sun Yimin smiled faintly and said calmly: "The development of any software starts from the bottom, and games are no exception. I'm applying for a low-level development position, which doesn't really have much to do with games or not, and I believe that the direction of your company's recruitment is very clear, and I don't seem to need to repeat this......"
The implication is that as a senior executive of the company, it seems that Du Fangfang is the unprofessional person.
As if to resolve the embarrassment, Du Fangfang twitched the corners of her mouth and smiled slightly. The rest of the personnel began to look at each other, but did not dare to say anything.
Sun Yimin added: "People who can play games don't necessarily know how to develop software, but from the perspective of a professional developer: I believe that games are just one of the many software I face, and there are no technical hurdles that I need to face." ”
"Okay......" Du Fangfang nodded. The HR next to him seemed to want to speak, but she interrupted again: "Tell me what your work philosophy is." ”
"Keep improving." Sun Yimin blurted out four words without thinking. Look calm.
"Really? Keep improving, don't care about work efficiency? Du Fangfangdai raised her eyebrows lightly, and her tone carried a hint of disapproval.
"I think programmers are a special profession, so I want to talk about how productive it is...... It's a different story. Sun Yimin raised his head and glanced at the unkind female executive in front of him, and then withdrew his gaze.
"Oh? I would like to hear about it. Du Fangfang raised her right hand to support the rich lower bar, and looked at the handsome job seeker in front of her with interest.
"By excellence, I mean that even if you spend more hours of work in order to achieve the highest efficiency of the program, it is worth it." After a pause, Sun Yimin said slowly: "After all, if you care too much about work efficiency, it will inevitably come at the expense of program running efficiency, and this price will inevitably affect the popularity of any game program operated by the company - after all, players are looking for a smooth experience......"
Du Fangfang realized, and the colleagues next to her nodded in agreement.
After a moment of coldness, Du Fangfang asked again: "Okay, your hometown is ......"
Sun Yimin was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "Zhejiang, Ningbo......"
"Are you married?" Du Fangfang asked. This question elicited a certain look of surprise from the colleague next to him.
"Unmarried, my resume is written!" Sun Yimin said heartily.
"Do you have a girlfriend?" Du Fangfang seemed to hesitate for a moment, but still asked this sentence.
Sun Yimin was surprised in his heart, and secretly thought: When you ask about emotional experience from your hometown, could it be ...... That's the point? The front is just a cover?
Without much thought, he replied truthfully, "Single." ”
Then Du Fangfang handed over the time to the other staff, and they asked a few more professional-related questions, and the interview was over.
Before leaving, I accidentally glanced at it, only to find that Du Fangfang's figure was as exaggerated as makeup.
In addition to the rugged curves, the black skirt reveals thick calves and towering heels. There is a hidden concern in Sun Yimin's heart: is the latter too slender and tall to support the former? After all, walking in this way is like walking on stilts.
Looking at the docking place, Du Fangfang smiled and said, "Go back first and wait for the good news." ”
Sun Yimin nodded politely and left.
Then he wandered the streets alone for a while. Because of my lack of experience, I came back to catch the evening rush hour of city traffic. Subway stations are crowded with passengers. With great difficulty, he finally squeezed into the carriage, clutching his bracelet and leaning against an iron pillar to breathe.
In the carriage, Sun Yimin noticed that on the opposite seat, a young couple snuggled together tightly because of the crowd, and the picture was warm and sweet.
He thought to himself that it was also a happy thing to be able to justifiably show affection in public because it was crowded. Then he felt a little lonely: I don't know when he will be able to have such a chance to show affection with the goddess in his dreams.
After getting home, Sun Yimin turned on Liu Ronghua's computer and started the game. I found that the account password was saved on the login interface, so I directly clicked "Login" and successfully entered the game world.
The name of the game is "Drunken Wind Moon". Sun Yimin secretly sighed: The name of this game is classical and beautiful, with some ambiguous flavor.
He didn't know how to play it, but the game's exquisite and beautiful antique graphics attracted him and made him linger in the virtual world for a long time.
