Chapter 9: Is It You?
"Zhou Xiaona! Why hasn't it arrived yet? I'm waiting for you at the door of the hot pot restaurant," he hung up the phone and walked into the hot pot city.
After graduating, when faced with the problem of finding a job, I realized that the ideal is very beautiful and the reality is very skinny. With a passionate work, it is better to have a few kind words of compliment.
Zhou Xiaona worked earlier than me, so I made an appointment to talk about my heart when I was off work today.
"I'm here early, you can't see me." Zhou Xiaona pretended to reproach me.
"You didn't tell me to wait for me inside, I was stupid standing outside, and I recognized you at a glance when I came in." I said with a grin.
"Sit down! Chat while eating," Zhou Xiaona handed over the menu.
"You've ordered so much. Let's eat it first. I looked at Zhou Xiaona's menu full of checks and said.
"Hello, let's serve first!" Zhou Xiaona handed the menu to the waiter.
"It's been a long time since I've seen you and you're still the same, when will I be able to change my outfit when I was a student?." Zhou Xiaona poured me a glass of water and said.
"Women are tolerant of those who please themselves, and those who don't meet themselves don't need to be tolerated." After saying that, I smiled, "Actually, I'm too lazy to clean up myself, I think it's good." Makeup and stuff is too time-consuming. ”
Zhou Xiaona shook her head helplessly and said, "What are your plans next?" ”
"Get a job related to drawing! The key is that it is difficult to find a high degree of education. I said with annoyance.
"I am now working as an accountant in a studio, and my boss has come back from studying abroad to start my own business. Mainly engaged in mobile games, comics, and animation. Anyway, I see that he has a connection with the painting industry. That's not the point. The point is that he's recruiting. As long as you submit your resume, you can interview without academic requirements, you write a resume and send it to me, and I will print it out for you and send it to you at work tomorrow. ”
"Can it work? I have no experience, and I'm not very proficient! ”
"Try it." Zhou Xiaona poured the dishes into the pot and said, "Besides, you have a lot of ideas, but there is no place for development." Give it a try. ”
In fact, what Zhou Xiaona said makes sense. There are some things that you don't try how to know. While eating, he sent her an electronic version of his resume.
Maybe true friendship is that even if you don't meet, you will have endless things to say when you meet again. This is the kind of friendship between me and Zhou Xiaona.
and Zhou Xiaona came home very late, and fell asleep like a pig when they got home. Woke up in the morning by a ringing phone.
"The address is sent to your mobile phone, and you will come to the company for an interview in the afternoon." Picking up the phone, Zhou Xiaona hung up the phone without waiting for me to reply.
Zhou Xiaona's company is still a bit far away. Just go over to Zhou Xiaona for lunch at noon, and the interview time in the afternoon will not seem so rushed.
"Mom, Zhou Xiaona introduced me to work. Interview in the afternoon, but it's a little far from home, I'm going out now, and I won't come back for dinner at noon. "I jumped downstairs and told my mother about today's itinerary. No matter how old you are, you feel like a child who doesn't grow up by your mother's side.
"How old are you, be steady." My mother took out the money as she spoke, "Are you rich?" I'll give you some pocket money. ”
"No, I still have money." My mother would give me pocket money from time to time, for fear that I would freeze and starve. Mom said that girls' families should be self-reliant and not rely on others. Don't be greedy. So that the bad guys won't coax them away. Now that I think about it, sometimes the words of the elders are also true. So it's really not worth it to see a lot of classmates being deceived by some small favors in college. There is still a need to have a sinister society and a desire to defend against people. Not all people are bad people, and not all people are good people. The little girl must protect herself outside.
But I guess my mom should regret it now, because no one came to coax her daughter, so I'm still single.
The hour and a half has finally arrived!
"Hey~ Are you off work? Where? I've arrived. "Call Cortana in a better place.
"Coming soon." Zhou Xiaona's little lady's dress, stepping on high heels, walked towards me with a puff.
"Whatever you want, I'll please." Zhou Xiaona said.
"It's like I'm a big guy. Just eat whatever you want, I'm starting to get nervous now. I said with a deep breath.
"You're all interviewers, and you're nervous. Right there, the restaurant I go to regularly. Zhou Xiaona took me to the restaurant and ordered a set menu each.
"Our company is highly liquid, mainly creative. There are also part-time jobs that sell us ideas, and we do creative extensions, comics, games, etc., and then make money from them. Now I'm a veteran in the company, because I have to record the progress and settle them. There's also the creative director of the handsome man, we all call him the boss, he takes care of everything, and the mysterious boss. A team in charge of the game, a team in charge of comics..."Zhou Xiaona gave me a brief introduction to the company.
"So what did I apply for?" I said with a frown.
"It's up to the manager to arrange it for you, there's always a place for you to draw well." Zhou Xiaona cheered me up.
"Have you finished eating? I'll take you to the company to familiarize yourself with your tense atmosphere. Zhou Xiaona took a small mirror and put on lipstick and said.
"Let's go." I followed her to the company.
This company is just a very ordinary office design. There are several areas, two transparent offices, and the others are separated by partitions.
"You sit here and wait a minute. Wait a minute, the manager will come over. I'll go back to my place first. Zhou Xiaona made a shushing expression and returned to the desk.
I looked at the manager's office, and there was a sign posted at the door
Interview content:
1. Draw a picture on the spot
2. Enter the office with your resume after drawing
3. Be quiet
I find a pen and paper, what do I draw? Could it be that all the people who came to apply for the job were great gods? There was a young lady next to me who conquered me with the speed of flowing water. It seems that there are no two brushes left for the work here. Anyway, it's coming, and I'm going to draw a picture.!
"Boom! Boom! Boom! I knocked softly on the door.
The interviewer nodded and motioned for me to enter.
This is the most formal interview I've ever seen, with a camera pressed in front of the interviewer. The first time I saw the interview, the whole process was videotaped.
"Want to stay?" The interviewer asked.
I can't help but wonder if there is an interviewer who asks such a question?
"Well, yes." I replied with a smile.
"Good! You're good to go. "The interviewer didn't look up at my drawing.
All right! It seems to be cold.
"Wait." The interviewer stopped me.
I stopped and turned to face him. I thought to myself, is there a turning point?
"Are you sure? Okay, you know. "It's not so much a serious demeanor as a calm expression all the time.
"Come to work tomorrow, go to the comics group, this is the agreement signed to report tomorrow." He hung up the phone and said to me.
"Okay, okay!" Happily signed the agreement, it is better to have a job than nothing.
"Signed!" I handed him the agreement.
"I'll be at work tomorrow at 8 o'clock!" After saying that, he put away the materials.
I happily came out and told Zhou Xiaona: "Let me stay in the comic group."
"Oh~" Zhou Xiaona showed a very surprised expression.
"Don't be so surprised." I say.
"I said you can do it. But the manga team often works overtime! You'd better be prepared. ”
"Huh? Overtime? My house is a bit far from here. "I'm a little embarrassed.
"The house I rented around here, right next door to the residential area. Do you want to live together? Zhou Xiaona stared at me with a bad look and said.
"Okay!" I also looked at her with a wicked smile, "Half of the rent for one person!" ”
"We're pretty clear." Zhou Xiaona waved her hand and said.
"My brother has settled the accounts, so it's decided, and I'll move here tomorrow. Let's go. "The work is done, the accommodation is also done, and I go home happily.
Anyway, I like to draw, and I work overtime. I have fun working overtime doing what I like.
I went home and discussed it with my parents. The next day, I got up early and went to Zhou Xiaona's place.
"So early." Zhou Xiaona opened the door sleepily.
"That's right! Why don't I move in early, and I'm going to work with my luggage? Where do I live? "As I spoke, I carried my luggage, but I didn't say it was just a suitcase.
Zhou Xiaona walked into the room, pointed to the right hand and said, "You live."
"I'll go back and get some sleep." Zhou Xiaona went back to the room after speaking, and I cleaned up and tidied up by myself and it was time to go to work.
"Hurry up! It's going to be late! Have you eaten breakfast? Zhou Xiaona hurriedly took the bread in her mouth and put on her shoes. Then he dragged me out.
Although it is good to sleep back, it is easy to oversleep.
"Quick! Fast! Fast! Today the big boss is coming. ”
Before he had time to ask, he dragged him to the company.
"The conference room is here, where is the comics group. Sit down. Zhou Xiaona pointed to her seat.
"I'm already familiar with each other, I'm our company's creative director. From today onwards, our general manager, Zhang Xi, will work with us. Welcome! "It was the guy who interviewed yesterday. It turns out that his name is Ai Xi, Ai Xi, Ai Xi is quite a romantic name.
A round of warm applause ushered in the general manager.
Am I dazzled?
This dress! This look! How can there be a sense of déjà vu.
This face, this fawn slamming around! Could this be, it's Zhang Xi!
It can't be such a coincidence, right?
The general manager didn't say much, just smiled slightly and said hello. Sitting next to Ai Xi, he looked at everyone with a cold face. Probably not, right? There are many people with the same name. Even maybe he doesn't remember me. It's better not to be close. Otherwise, how will we get along in the future? Uh-huh! and pretended not to know.
