Chapter 197: Adaptation
"Concise, please ask, is there a physical object on Mr. Gifrey's side that is responsible for our Good Mood Group?" When he went out to eat with the designer after work at noon, Qin Yang asked without being salty!
"There's no need to ask, Mr. Gifrey is almost the general manager of our side now!"
"But I can't see anyone all day long, and you said that there are not many people in our team now!"
"What's this, I've long been accustomed to his way of directing work remotely!"
Up to now, there were only less than twenty people, which was quite different from Qin Yang's initial prediction in his heart.
Hearing this concise explanation, Qin Yang smiled and didn't speak!
It's been nearly a month since he came to Los Angeles in the United States, but Qin Yang is still a little unaccustomed.
First of all, because of the impact of jet lag, she was tired all day and her head was always groggy! Although, Jian repeatedly comforted her, and after waiting for a while, it would be good to get used to the jet lag here. But when he inadvertently made a series of tired yawns at work every day, Qin Yang always felt a little upset.
Qin Yang knows that in the mouth of Jifurui, he is an outstanding talent who has stood out from countless outstanding colleagues and has undergone professional training. However, at the branch, her job is to help each colleague with the task at hand. At the same time, it will also be responsible for collecting information and feedback on the apparel market.
It's just that Qin Yang's only satisfaction is that in this job, the work of all positions can be accessed. This is very different from what she had envisioned as a job.
Again, in addition to the trouble of jet lag. Qin Yang's biggest problem is the language barrier.
Although there are only about 20 people in the team, most of them are natives from Los Angeles. Listening to these colleagues chattering in English, I didn't understand anything! For this reason, Qin Yang still felt very distressed.
She remembered that Gifrey had told her before that there was no need to memorize English at all. As long as you can live in its context. Otherwise, you can be as fluent as speaking Chinese.
Now that he thinks about it, Qin Yang feels that Ji Furui's statement is completely the logical thinking of a big liar. As a result, he is in the current predicament.
So, Qin Yang bought back an introductory English speaking practice from the market again. From the initial fear that she would not be able to pronounce the five tones, and once she pronounced it, it made people laugh, and gradually she began to communicate with her colleagues in the simplest way of greeting her textbooks. In the end, Qin Yang found that he was able to use long sentences to communicate with colleagues.
Gradually, due to more communication, Qin Yang found that he was no longer alone in a foreign country. Similarly, as mutual understanding and communication deepened, those American colleagues also began to like this Chinese female colleague with a beautiful oriental face and sweet appearance.
However, what made Qin Yang wonder was that since he came to the United States, he had only met Gifrey less than three times. There were only three times, and each time I called everyone for an impromptu meeting without warning, arranged the work, and then left in a hurry.
In addition, what made Qin Yang a little puzzled was that he let Qin Yang not have to study English with great effort at the beginning. When he was meeting and deploying work here, he used English throughout the whole process regardless of it, and the speed of speech was quite fast, and Qin Yang could basically say that he couldn't understand a word.
As for what was said at the Gifrey meeting, and what work was arranged! At the end of each meeting, Qin Yang had no choice but to run to find Jian Jian to act as her temporary translator.
For this reason, Qin Yang did not spend a lot of money on burgers and bubble tea. Although also Chinese, hamburgers and bubble tea have always been Jane's favorite girls who have just come out of school.
Or is it due to the time difference. There were many nights when Qin Yang lay in bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep, but the next day at work, he felt tired and powerless.
So sometimes, she wonders if the job she had earned from competing with the best colleagues and having undergone rigorous training as an internal transferee at the American branch of the Good Mood Group was worth it.
Even sometimes she thinks that her head has been kicked by a donkey after all the hard work of choosing this internal transfer job, and it is best to be her own sales director. Although it is a little hard and tiring or something, it is good that you don't have to suffer from jet lag. You don't have to waste extra time getting used to the unfamiliar place.
Sometimes, you have to pretend to be dumb! Because, as soon as you open your mouth, you will be directly debunked by people who have just arrived.
In addition to this, this place is not without its benefits. The first is that there is almost no overtime work here, and as long as you finish the work at hand, you can leave work at any time. This way of operation is fundamentally different from the on-time clock-in and on-time clock-in in China in China!
This mode of operation comes from the concept of "happy work, happy life" formulated by Gifrey for the company. ”
These are in stark contrast to the complaints of various netizens who found out on the Internet that Qin Yang found on the Internet before coming here that the Yankees are all overtime freaks and workaholics.
Although Qin Yang has put a lot of effort into breaking the language barrier, there is still a big gap between this and her own expectations.
So, she decided to muster up the courage to go out and use all the words she had learned.
Thinking of it, Qin Yang decided to use his spare time to go out and take a walk! In his spare time before this, Qin Yang would basically nest in the dormitory to memorize English words except for working hours.
But back and forth, she still clearly felt that that kind of operation had little effect.
Take to the streets, except for the blond Americans who fill the streets. Qin Yang feels that the streets of Los Angeles are not too different from the streets in China.
However, after wandering the streets for most of the day, Qin Yang still couldn't find a breakthrough!
In desperation, Qin Yang decided to submit his resume online to find himself a part-time part-time job!
However, when he concisely sent the URLs of the three American recruitment websites to Qin Yang, the completely English-only pages suddenly made Qin Yang dumbfounded.
There have been several times when Qin Yang really wanted to apply to return to China with Ji Furui. But after thinking about it, even if I go back now, will I still keep my previous job?
Even, now, Qin Yang somewhat regrets that he shouldn't have applied for this damn position in the first place! In the name of going abroad. In fact, it's just to make yourself uncomfortable.
Telephone bills are very expensive due to international calls. Therefore, Qin Yang explained to his mother the last time he came home before coming to the United States. Due to the long distance and the high cost of international calls, I will not call home as often as I used to.
And now, countless days when she lies in bed but can't sleep, she often thinks about what her mother is doing or whether she is sick or something!
The contact between her and her sister Qin Yue is relatively convenient! The two often chat on QQ, leave messages for each other, care about each other's living conditions, etc.!
At the same time, Qin Yue also reported good news to Qin Yang on QQ, saying that she won the championship in this China International Fashion Design Competition. They will be able to participate in the selection of the research place.
"Didn't you say before that if you win the championship or something, you can directly protect the research?" My sister's original bright future suddenly cast a shadow of uncertainty, which somewhat made Qin Yang feel a little puzzled!
At that time, the title sponsor and the organizer did say so, but the school had the school's considerations, and there was no way for us students to be disadvantaged.
"Xiaoyue, don't treat yourself as a vulnerable group just because you're still a student, trying to win sympathy!"
"Sister, what's wrong with you?" Qin Yue didn't understand why her sister was so angry with the words vulnerable, so she asked cautiously.
"I'm fine, maybe it's the cause of jet lag, I didn't sleep well at night!" Realizing that there was some bitterness in his words, Qin Yang explained.
"I understand, sister, are you worried that I am not self-reliant enough?" Qin Yue typed such a line in the input box and clicked the send button!
Qin Yang, the sister on the other side, didn't say anything at this time, only gave her sister a smiling expression.
What really changed Qin Yang was that when she and Jian Jian went to a local Chinese restaurant for dinner, they suddenly saw that the store was recruiting Chinese part-time waiters, so they were hired!
The boss is a middle-aged uncle from Northeast China, who is 1.85 meters tall and weighs more than 200 pounds enough to compete with the Yankees.
However, this uncle is also upright, and after giving Qin Yang a simple interview in a few words, he told Qin Yang that he could come over as soon as he was free, and the salary was calculated by the hour.
"Sister Yangyang, are you crazy? You said you want to train your spoken English, then you can find a local restaurant, why go to a Chinese restaurant to work? ”
As soon as the two of them walked out of the restaurant, Jian Jian immediately asked with a look of surprise on his face.
"I'm not crazy, you see, there are a lot of foreigners in Chinese restaurants!" Qin Yang said with a smile! In fact, only she knows that this smile is just to hide her inner lack of confidence.
"I can't understand what you're doing anyway!" Succinctly shook his head.
"Sister, our security research quota has come down!" When he received an international call from his sister, Qin Yang was still in a Chinese restaurant in stiff English to communicate with an American who wanted to order egg fried rice.
After saying the English word "sorry", Qin Yang turned his back to a corner to answer the phone.
"Really, that's great, I remember you told me before that it was Central Saint Martins in London, England?"
"yes, but I'm in a problem right now!" Sister Qin Yue muttered on the other end of the phone.
"What exactly?"
……
“Suny、Suny,What are you doing?
Qin Yang hadn't heard the words of his sister on the other side clearly. The shouts of the American supervisor were heard in my ears.
