Chapter 68: The Story of Lao Zhang's Entry into Beijing

The unfamiliar imperial capital is a hutong with a very different folk style from the alleys common in Shanghai.

Zhang Yameng under the gray bucket hat is facing the sky, wearing ordinary white printed short sleeves, ordinary washed distressed jeans, ordinary canvas shoes, and pushing an ordinary aluminum alloy flight suitcase.

"Xiu Xiu~"

With a whistle, she stood in front of the outer house in the depths of the alley, in front of the outer house with a house number that read "No. 233, Imperial Capital, Xicheng, Shichahai, Shibei Hutong".

"Huh~ Yanqing Studio, it's really a courtyard, it's cool~"

After confirming the contents of the other slightly larger metal nameplate next to the address number, Zhang Yameng breathed a sigh of relief.

Even if the soulmate investors and the company's senior management team are sincere, they have tried to retain her many times with a series of conditions such as a large salary increase, M5 (Director, director level) to M6 (VP, group vice president) rank, etc.

The boss, Ms. Lin Jie, even knew how to be emotional, and talked a lot about Zhang Yameng's cultivation as a founding member for five years before finally making the start-up company gradually become popular from obscurity and becoming a unicorn company in the field of unfamiliar social apps, and the good situation is really not easy.

Last weekend, she resolutely and resolutely left the company for five years.

Although he has no regrets about the decision to resign, Zhang Yameng has lived and worked in the city of Huhai for nearly ten years after four years of university and five years of work experience.

finally got familiar with the rhythm of life in a city, and suddenly another possibility appeared, to go to the imperial capital for development, and her free and easy nature was inevitably a little complicated.

In fact, this possibility came very suddenly, yesterday, that is, Tuesday night, a headhunter who had a relationship with one side happened to learn the news that Zhang Yameng had just resigned, and called her in the spirit of "I'd rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go".

On the phone, the headhunter spared no effort to recommend to Zhang Yameng the vacant position requirements of the "content review business side" released by several large and medium-sized Internet companies in Shanghai, while Zhang Yameng, who is not so obsessed with content review for the future career direction, listened perfunctorily and casually.

The phone was made for a long time, and just as Zhang Yameng gradually lost her perfunctory interest and was about to hang up the phone casually with a few polite words, the voice on the phone that had been chattering suddenly stopped.

Zhang Yameng heard that this headhunter male classmate who did not keep his name but had a diligent work attitude, and exchanged another business with his colleague in an extremely surprised tone.

Strange male voice: "Yo! What about making a phone call? Hurry up and take a look at the mail, the double insurance in the imperial capital has been opened..."

Silence, a mouse-and-keyboard sound.

The diligent man wailed: "Ah! What is the situation on Mr. Miao's side, the two candidates we pushed over today by LinkedIn are all senior public relations experts who have experience in the director (director) level of the world's top 500 companies, and finally told me that the whole army was destroyed? ”

Colleague male: "The feedback from our candidates is that Yan Qing Studio cannot provide a clear job description, and there is a risk that the division of functions is not clear. ”

The diligent man was puzzled: "What do you mean?" ”

Colleague Nan explained: "People say it more tactfully, which means that Mr. Miao may want to find a candidate who can always rush to the front line and play the role of a generalist." ”

The diligent man complained: "Can such a candidate be promoted to director, don't directors sit in the office and just coffee~"

The colleague was surprised: "Shhh, you be quiet, you hurry up and refresh your inbox, Mr. Miao seems to be aware of the pain point, and the email updates the requirements for candidates." ”

Mouse clicks.

The diligent man wailed, "Isn't it? ”

My colleague was frustrated: "What can we do, work overtime, stay up late, and refile suitable candidates." ”

The diligent man had forgotten that Zhang Yameng was still connected to the other end of the phone, and he was hit hard, and he opened his mouth to wail again.

Zhang Yameng's excited voice came from his ears:

"I'm sorry, I seem to have heard the words Yan Qing Studio, is it convenient to say the specific requirements of this position?"

The voice was no longer full of vitality at the beginning, but the diligent man with good professionalism still introduced Zhang Yameng to the newly received candidate needs.

Zhang Yameng listened carefully, and the man with a calm expression who was watched by everyone in the easter egg of "Star Silk Road" in the original issue of "Star Silk Road" with a calm expression appeared in front of her.

… The song "Talent Co., Ltd.", which was repeatedly looped during this time, was played and sung by the man.

… The lyrics that have been repeatedly questioned and haunted in her heart for a long time: "The icing on the cake of who is best to play, admit it." ”

Zhang Yameng also took the opportunity to explore a secret past that had been hidden in the depths of Zhang Yameng's heart for many years.

"Repair my spear, and have the same enmity with my son, isn't Yan Qing also related to a person surnamed Yuan..."

Holding back the throbbing, Zhang Yameng raised her eyebrows, and finally said to the phone with a smile in the corner of her eyes: "You LinkedIn have my resume over there, right, please help me push it, I think I'm quite suitable, hang up, bye~"

After receiving the line, the diligent man clicked on Zhang Yameng's resume on the computer with some inexplicable feelings, which he had not carefully studied before.

He skillfully pulled his resume to the recent update item and looked at it carefully: [(Recently updated) Education: Master's degree - School of International Relations and Public Affairs, Aurora University, on-the-job MPA graduate Master of Public Administration (Graduate student in public administration)]

Zhang Yameng has always had a reputation for being proficient in user content control in the Internet industry in Shanghai, so all the homework done by the diligent man is also closely related to the management position of content moderation.

"It almost went dark under the lights, and sure enough, I still wasn't meticulous and diligent enough."

After confirming that Zhang Yameng's resume met the customer's updated job requirements, the diligent man was fortunate to send Zhang Yameng's resume through instant mail, and it didn't take long for Miao Miao to send an interview invitation.

Everything is so just right, or it is better to say that it is a coincidence, so that Zhang Yameng's trip to the imperial capital was born.

The interview with Miao Miao went well, and Zhang Yameng showed her ability to be a public relations expert and her comprehensive strength as a generalist with five years of experience as a start-up veteran, and successfully conquered the somewhat picky Mr. Miao.

The two sides also had a very pleasant discussion on the treatment, and in accordance with Yan Qing's requirements, Mr. Miao, who gradually became more abundant at hand, offered Zhang Yameng a salary for this position, which was fifty percent higher than that of Internet companies that have always been known for their excellent salaries.

"This Miss Zhang, who calls herself Lao Zhang, can be said to have almost no shortcomings except for being a little taller and prettier."

Mr. Miao, who is 1.587 meters tall, thought arrogantly, in line with the good intention of establishing authority for Yan Qing, Miao Miao solemnly reminded Zhang Yameng with her voice: "Miss Zhang, there is no problem on my side, there is one last hurdle later, the boss of our studio, Teacher Yan Qing will interview you personally." ”

Zhang Yameng nodded in understanding: "The process that should be." ”

Miao Miao emphasized again: "He has always been quite strict with his requirements. ”

Zhang Yameng, who was sitting upright, straightened his already straight waist again: "Mr. Miao, I will behave well." ”

"If he doesn't have any opinions, we should be able to settle them today."

The satisfied Mr. Miao smiled, and she couldn't help but comfort her: "Don't be nervous, although he is strict, he is a very good person." ”

In this way, Miao Miao took Zhang Yameng to the pulling room to find Yan Qing, and went through the last process before she joined the company - the boss who was forcibly added by Mr. Miao personally made the decision.

Zhang Yameng's brain is in this process, at least Yan Qing will have a verbal confrontation with him or take the school exam.

Yan Qing, who turned around in front of her, put on a somewhat distorted expression, pointed to the screen and calmly explained: "Hello, I didn't scare you, I'm pulling the piece..."

Zhang Yameng shook her head, and Miao Miao gently pushed her behind her back.

"Teacher Yan Qing, hello, my name is Zhang Yameng, you can call me Lao Zhang in the future. I graduated from ......"

Just when Zhang Yameng introduced himself to the second sentence without being humble or arrogant.

Yan Qing touched the round hairstyle that was no longer piercing, and smiled kindly: "How old are you to call yourself Lao Zhang?" ”

Zhang Yameng was used to being asked this question, and she was not annoyed by being interrupted to introduce herself, she replied very calmly: "I think that one day I will be called like this, so I will adapt to it in advance." ”

Yan Qing praised: "The mentality is good." ”

"I don't think he's too strict, is he a smiling tiger type in private? It's not the same as the comments on the Internet..."

Zhang Yameng muttered to herself and continued to speak: "Well, Teacher Yan Qing, then I'll continue, I'll finish..."

Yan Qing directly and simply stretched out his hand to interrupt her performance: "Just call me Brother Qing in the future, welcome to join our studio, classmate Lao Zhang." ”

In this way, Zhang Yameng, who was held by Yan Qingxu's right fingertips, easily passed the most difficult hurdle emphasized by Mr. Miao.

Miao Miao led Zhang Yameng to the general manager's office to sign a three-year labor relationship contract without a probationary period.

The binding force of the contract on employees is so low that Zhang Yameng can't help but worry a little about the employer's professional ability.

Accompanied by Mr. Miao, Zhang Yameng chose one of the three empty offices on the second floor as his office.

In the empty office, Ms. Miao said in a soft voice that she had not had time to order desks, chairs, computers and other equipment because she had misestimated the hiring process.

Smiling and signaling that it was okay, Zhang Yameng thought to herself: "My general manager is very cute! It seems that this trip to the imperial capital was a very nice decision."

What surprised Zhang Yameng even more was that the studio's standard new employee onboarding process also listed one item: allocation of dormitories...

Miao Miao assigned her a suite with a living room on the second floor of the "Yanqing Studio Staff Dormitory Building" on the left side of the inner courtyard.

With some curiosity, Zhang Yameng walked through the living room into the bedroom. The wallpaper furniture and mood lighting are pale pink, and in the middle of the bedroom is an off-white princess bed with lace curtains and bed curtains.

Zhang Yameng glanced at Miao Miao, and immediately let go of the aluminum alloy boarding box she was pushing in her hand, walked to the side of the bed and tested the softness of the mattress spring with her hand.

Zhang Yameng sat down on the edge of the mattress with satisfaction, and said, "Actually, when I was young, I also fantasized that I could have such a princess bed. ”

"The decoration style of the rooms is the same, and the rules of our studio are that each employee will be assigned a dormitory..."

Miao Miao struggled to straighten her waist and looked at Zhang Yameng, who was sitting on the white princess's bed.

"But we don't have to make it mandatory for employees to live in the company," she stressed. ”

Zhang Yameng understood: "This is already very good, I originally planned to take the time to ask an agent to see the house, but I heard that the house in Shichahai is not easy to rent." ”

Miao Miao was stunned for a moment, nodded, and looked up at the bedroom again: "But these wallpapers are too incompatible with you, wronged." ”

"It's okay, who isn't a little princess~"

Zhang Yameng smiled, she casually made a joke: "It's not really like a joke made up in a whisper, the design is always careful and pretends to be a strange style, and I don't want others to live in." ”

Miao Miao's cheeks were slightly red, and she flatly denied it: "It's not the decoration style I set!" ”

Zhang Yameng was dazed: "??? ”

"Lao Zhang, you pack your luggage first, and I'll call you when you get to dinner. Tomorrow morning, we'll talk about computers, desks, chairs, and other equipment. ”

Miao Miao was embarrassed, and after explaining in her voice, she turned around to go out.

Zhang Yameng got up and sent Miao Miao out of the dormitory, she smiled and regretted in her heart, "What should I do, I offended the lovely general manager on the first day of employment."

"Damn, how could Lao Zhang know about the golden idea in the whisper a few years ago?"

Miao Miao, who went downstairs alone, was also secretly hating that she would lose too much, and she couldn't help but slander Zhang Yameng: "I like to brush up on whispering, and my shortcomings are added to one!"
