Chapter 37: The First Day of the Internship
Mr. Ling clasped his hands around his arms, his eyes swept over Chen Lu coldly and arrogantly, snorted coldly, and said arrogantly: "If you are in this school, it is rare to see it in Hengchuan Securities." ”
Chen Lu didn't answer, but there was obviously a hint of gloom in her eyes.
Discrimination? Bias?
Song Hewan felt that the person in front of her called "Mr. Ling" had a deep prejudice against the two of them. This prejudice seems to have existed since he saw them. When he heard about Chen Lu's school, this stereotype seemed to reach a new level, causing him to tear off the mask of politeness.
What is the reason for this?
Song Hewan couldn't figure it out, but she had an instinctive disgust towards Mr. Ling in her heart. She froze and looked directly at Mr. Ling with an expressionless face, her eyes were cold.
It's just an internship, and I really think of myself as a green onion! The more preconceived you are, the more I will prove myself. Sooner or later, you will know that your bias is wrong.
Mr. Ling ignored the reactions of the two girls, and then said to himself: "Looking at it this way, the foundation of the two of you may have yet to be verified. To come to my department for internship, first, you must be diligent and arrange your affairs, no matter how big or small, you must complete them carefully and efficiently; The second is to use your brain, what to do and what not to do. When doing things, you have to use your brains to do what you do and how to solve problems. ”
"Today, you take a look at the company's system and familiarize yourself with it, especially pay attention to the part related to credit evaluation. There are two empty places over there, and you two are sitting there. Mr. Ling pointed to the two empty workstations in the distance, and then said: "Now, I want to go out for a meeting, and I will officially assign tasks to you tomorrow, if you don't understand something, you can ask Tang Yuwen." ”
"Okay, Mr. Ling." Song Hewan said.
Chen Lu also responded.
After Mr. Ling left, Chen Lu sighed and said quietly: "Alas, I feel that Mr. Ling doesn't like me very much. ”
Song Hewan smiled at her and comforted her, "Whatever, we're just here to increase our experience points, not for anything else." ”
Hearing Song Hewan's words, Chen Lu seemed to be encouraged. "Hmmm! We are here to learn and practice, do our best, and don't care what attitude he has! ”
At present, the credit management department of Hengchuan Securities Asset Management Center has a total of 15 employees, ranking among the top in the national securities asset management.
Of course, the scale of assets under management is also the top in the country.
In order to dig deeper into the industry, each researcher is only responsible for one or two industries. Even so, the intensity of the work of the entire department is still very high.
Song Hewan and Chen Lu looked at the busy people, and they inexplicably felt a sense of glory in their hearts. In the top office building in the country, facing a group of people with the best academic qualifications, the two of them stand here and become a part of these elites. Although, it is temporary.
However, anything is possible in the future.
"Hello, excuse me, we are new interns, which one is Mr. Tang?" Song Hewan asked humbly and politely.
The woman sitting in a low ponytail and wearing a lake blue silk shirt looked smart and neat. She stopped what she was doing, pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, raised her eyes to look at Song Hewan and Chen Lu, and showed a gentle smile. "I am."
"Hello Mr. Tang, Mr. Ling asked us to familiarize ourselves with the company's system first, can you send us a copy of the document?"
"Oh, Mr. Ling has confessed. I'm sending it to your mailbox now, and if you don't understand something, you can ask me. Tang Yuwen glanced at the two interns in front of her again, and suddenly recalled how she looked when she first entered the workplace, time passed so quickly, 10 years have passed.
It's been ten years of traces, ten years of heart.
Song Hewan and Chen Lu returned to their seats. The company's system consists of about 20 documents in total, and the content is not difficult to understand, and it describes the responsibilities of each department, the most basic working principles and processes.
In the morning, Song Hewan had already read all the system documents.
At noon, she asked Tang Yuwen if the department had a tradition of having dinner together, and learned that the department was very casual, and her colleagues all ate their own food, some went out to meet friends at noon, and some went to the gym without eating at noon.
So, Song Hewan, Chen Lu and Jian Zhiyan made an appointment at the small shop in the food court downstairs.
"You've been assigned to the investment banking department?" Chen Lu asked in surprise.
Jian Zhiyan nodded.
Song Hewan was also very surprised, stunned for a few seconds and then realized in her heart. Jian Zhiyan is very good in his own right, and he is still the only boy among several people, and it is natural that he was assigned to the investment banking department for an internship.
If you're a boy, maybe you'...... It doesn't matter, sooner or later, one day, she will break the tradition of Hengchuan Securities and really enter the investment banking department.
"Wow, that's amazing!" Chen Lu praised sincerely.
Suddenly, as if she had seen something, she said to Song Hewan and Jian Zhiyan, "Have you seen that person?" ”
Song Hewan turned sideways and looked in the direction of her line of sight, it was a man wearing a dark suit with a retro three-seven hairstyle.
His head-to-body is well proportioned, and he looks like he has a nine-headed body, which makes him even taller. He has a deep and handsome face, with Sven's gold-rimmed eyes, and exudes the charm of a mature man.
Song Hewan felt as if she had seen this person somewhere, but she couldn't remember it for a while.
"Is he?"
"Don't you read magazines? He is a celebrity of Hengchuan Securities! Because of his handsome face and retro elegant temperament, he has been on the cover of "Fashion Men"! Chen Lu said with great interest.
"Uh, you mean, in a fashion magazine?" Song Hewan usually doesn't pay much attention to the fashion circle, and people in the financial circle have been in fashion magazines, and she is even more unclear.
"Yes! Handsome or not! ”
"Well, it's pretty handsome." Song Hewan was helpless, so she had to follow her.
And after Jian Zhiyan, who was originally indifferent, heard Song Hewan's evaluation, he quickly looked back at the handsome uncle in Chen Lu's mouth, and took a closer look.
"He is the boss of the macro allocation strategy department, Xing Yansong, and I met him at the CFA Institute's thought exchange meeting before. At the time, he was a public interest speaker on the part of Ray Dalio's "Principles." Seeing me again, it's really a perfect existence where appearance and IQ coexist! Chen Lu stared at Xing Yansong, his eyes full of admiration.
As if sensing the fiery and sincere gaze on their side, Xing Yansong also looked at the three of them, Chen Lu quickly lowered his head shyly, I don't know if he was seen by Mr. Xing.
"By the way, what did you do this morning?" Song Hewan asked Jian Zhiyan.
"After you arrived at the credit management department of the asset management center, Brother Hao Rui took me to the investment banking department upstairs, and after seeing the boss of the investment banking department, he threw me a few stacks of materials for me to sort out."
"What? Got you started as soon as it came? Chen Lu exclaimed, compared to the useless systems that she watched for a long time in the morning, Jian Zhiyan was able to get in touch with real work as soon as she came up, and she was really a little envious.
"Well, the investment banking department is very busy, so I can directly help with these relatively simple things." Jian Zhiyan said slowly.
I have to be honest, Song Hewan is also a little envious in her heart. Although she didn't think it was useless to look at the system, she was very yearning when she heard Jian Zhiyan describe the real situation in the investment banking department.
Obviously interning in the same building, so close but so far away, Song Hewan sighed.
Although they are all Hengchuan Securities, Jian Zhiyan is really an internship in the most powerful and front-end department of Hengchuan Securities Headquarters. And she, more precisely, is in the Hengchuan Asset Management Center under Hengchuan Securities, working as an intern in the middle and back office.
For her, that's a big gap.
Seeing that Song Hewan's expression seemed to be a little different from before, Jian Zhiyan hurriedly asked, "What about you?" How's it going in the department? ”
Chen Lu replied first: "Don't mention it, the boss of our department seems to be a little dissatisfied with us, the attitude and tone of his speech are really indescribable!" I have never met such an arrogant, impolite boss. ”
Song Hewan looked Chen Lu up and down quietly again, and she had to think a little more.
She is not a novice who has come to the workplace for the first time, she is a person who has worked for three or four years and has come back to this life.
In the past few years, she has also had an experience, generally speaking, in the workplace, you must not complain about other people behind your back.
First, there is no impermeable wall in the world, no matter what you say, the good or the bad will reach the ears of the person concerned sooner or later. Second, there are even more ill-intentioned people who will throw out the beginning and lead you to follow his words and say some bad things. In the end, at the time of the incident, you said all the bad words, and he was an innocent listener. You are the "wicked person" who complains, complains, and speaks ill of people behind your back.
Chen Lu is already in her fourth year, and this is not her first internship, and she should not know anything about the workplace. But it was very strange that she was so straightforward to express those thoughts that were dissatisfied with Mr. Ling. After all, having only known each other for a few hours, she had to be on guard.
Song Hewan calmly diverted Chen Lu's words, and did not follow her dissatisfaction with Mr. Ling. "Our boss went out for a meeting, and in the morning we were studying the company system."
Jian Zhiyan saw that Song Hewan quietly took over the words of Chen Lu complaining about the head of the department, and brought the topic to the track of normal work, and understood.
Although he never asks about the company, he has also learned about the twists and turns of the workplace since he was a child. But Song Hewan was so smart and cautious in her first internship, she really deserved to be the girl he liked.
Indeed, complaining about leadership is a taboo in the workplace. Grumbling, complaining, and being emotional can all be the thunder you have planted for yourself.
Unexpectedly, Chen Lu didn't seem to be aware of these at all, and still complained to himself: "Hey, I feel that those systems look like that, and they don't seem to be useful!" I'm going to watch another afternoon in the afternoon, and I don't know when I'll be able to do some serious work! ”
Song Hewan was a little helpless, this Chen Lu was two years older than herself and Jian Zhiyan, how could she be the same as a child?
She had no choice but to comfort Chen Lu and said: "Learn the system first, don't worry, sooner or later we will be assigned a job." ”
So, the three of them stopped talking about internships.
Song Hewan and Jian Zhiyan talked about the interesting things about Ninghai University, and Chen Lu talked about what they saw and heard about Xihua University, and the next lunch time was very relaxed and happy.
During the lunch break at the back station, the entire open workplace of Hengchuan Securities will turn off the lights, so that everyone can get a full rest at noon. Hengchuan Securities encourages a 30-minute nap and then starts the afternoon work with full energy. There are many people who take out a folding bed or mat under their workstation, cover it with an air-conditioned blanket, and lie down for a nice nap.
Song Hewan and Chen Lu lay on the table and took a nap.
At 1 o'clock in the afternoon, the security staff at the front desk turned on the lights on time, and Hengchuan's big workplace started the busy working hours of financial people again.
