Chapter 3, First Job
Age twenty-three, gender male, Liu Yang, how do you think I should fill in my academic qualifications? Wu Xu asked.
Liu Yang: Fill in the junior college directly, anyway, you finished studying, it's a big deal to get a fake graduation certificate in the place where you go to advertise, and find a job first.
Wu Xu: Your uncle's is okay, why don't you teach me to get a fake doctoral diploma and then go to Tsinghua University to become a professor?
After Wu Xu finished speaking, the two smiled at each other. Wu Xu and Liu Yang wandered around Anyang City, the provincial capital, for an afternoon, and submitted more than a dozen resumes, and the answers they got were all waiting for notice.
At about 16:00 in the afternoon, Liu Yang said: I don't think it's so easy to find a job in this provincial capital, I'm ready to go home, find my fourth uncle who is the principal of the primary school, and see if I can go to him to substitute for teaching first, study for a while, and then slowly take the exam.
Wu Xu: The idea is very good, I didn't expect you to be the second generation of officials, good luck, I still want to wait, turn around, see if there is a suitable job, really without me to take the train to Guangdong into Foxconn, in the future to see the news of Foxconn jumping off the building, you look twice, in case there is my name.
Liu Yang: Come on, you white-galled pig, even if you really let you be a pig, you are reluctant to jump off the building.
After speaking, Liu Yang took his luggage home. Wu Xu shuttled alone in the talent market of Anyang City.
… Wu Xu, is it really you? Didn't expect to meet you here.
Li Ningyou, what a coincidence, I haven't seen you for a month, this dress is really fashionable, the future white-collar worker, class leader, Wu Xu said.
Li Ningyou: Don't talk about it, since I graduated, I have hit walls everywhere, I have no job, and my girlfriend has not been contacted after returning to my hometown. What about you? What's going on lately, is there any receipt in the talent market?
Wu Xu: The class leader of Li University, who dominates one side, said that it is too difficult for junior college students, and what kind of talent am I who can't get a graduation certificate, I just passed by to take a look.
Li Ningyou: Don't talk about it, it's not early, I made an appointment with my old cousin to get together with him in the evening.
Wu Xu: Although I don't need to study hard, I have always listened to the class elder the most, and I will be the class elder as a junior brother tonight.
… Walk... Walk... After walking, Wu Xu and Li Ningyou took a bus for more than two hours, and finally arrived at the gate of Qianjiang University, their destination, at around 19:50 in the evening.
Li Ningyou: Let me introduce, this is my college classmate, roommate, handsome guy, and love saint Wu Xu. This is my old cousin Daniel Zhang, his girlfriend Wang Jie.
Wu Xu: In Xia Wu Xu, the younger brother and die-hard fan of our class adult. I had the pleasure of meeting my old cousin and future sister-in-law.
Daniel Zhang: Brother Xu, not an outsider, sit down first, let's have dinner and talk while eating.
Daniel Zhang called a beer, and he and Wu Xu and Daniel Zhang each had a bottle, and said: Drink some bar, Brother Xu, we met for the first time, everything is in the wine, and we will be brothers in the future. Come, my girlfriend Wang Jie and I have a cup of Li Ningyou's old cousin and Brother Xu. After speaking, the three of them drank the beer in the bottle in one gulp.
Li Ningyou poured a full cup for Daniel Zhang, and he also poured a full cup himself, and said: Cousin, although there are many phone contacts, we have not seen each other for many years, now you have a successful career and full of love, I salute you a cup, I wish you success in your career and rise step by step.
Daniel Zhang said: No matter what, you are liberated and graduated, but I still have to study for another three years? Although the graduate students of Guizhou University are very popular, I don't know what the employment situation will be after three years, and my future is uncertain now. Come..., I'll give you another drink......
Li Ningyou: You still signed a contract with the No. 1 Senior High School of Bijiu City, so that after graduation, you will also be guaranteed, who let us come from the countryside? I can't afford to gamble, and although I can't choose my career freely after signing a deed of sale, I can at least have a stable job.
Daniel Zhang: I'm also thinking about it seriously, don't worry, I'll think about it fully.
Wu Xu: Although it is the first time I met Cousin Daniel Zhang, I think we are in love, you have a graduate degree and a guaranteed job in Bijiu City No. 1 Senior High School, such good conditions can still be so down-to-earth, it is too interesting, the younger brother respects Daniel Zhang's cousin and cousin-in-law, I wish the two of them success in their studies, careers, and work... .
Daniel Zhang: There is a fate to meet thousands of miles, I am from Bijiu City, you are from Ping'an City, we are hundreds of kilometers apart, and being able to meet here shows that we have a fate and have similar personalities. I would like to toast you two more and wish you all the best of luck tomorrow.
After getting drunk, Daniel Zhang and Wang Jie returned to the rental house to rest, and Wu Xu and Li Ningyou found a hotel to stay.
The next day, Li Ningyou wanted to go back to Bijiu City to take the examination of public institutions, so he got up early and went to Bijiu alone. Wu Xu could only take the bus to the Anyang Talent Market alone.
It was a Saturday, and because it was a weekend, there were more people traveling, and the buses were overcrowded. Wu Xu finally squeezed into the bus after missing a few buses. Because he drank too much wine yesterday, Wu Xu's alcohol has not completely dissipated, and the bus is overcrowded, Wu Xu was squeezed and fell on the bus several times, and when he arrived at the talent market, Wu Zhaojiu finally woke up completely, and his stomach was hungry.
After getting off the bus, Wu Xu came to the vendor at the gate of the Anyang Talent Market to eat a bowl of noodles, and when he was about to check out and pay, he found that he had lost his money, maybe he was touched when he was squeezing the bus, it was really that the house leaked overnight, he had no education and no ability, he couldn't find a job, and the money he borrowed was patronized by thieves, what kind of world is this.
Wu Xu flipped through it again, thinking that this thief still had a bit of a conscience, stole 1,200 yuan, and left me 96 yuan, which was just enough to go home. … Alas... No matter, let's take a look at the talent market first. So Wu Xu went to the Anyang City Talent Market.
Taiwan Cement Anping Cement Co., Ltd. Recruitment Notice, to... This is the company that Sister Yan said, hurry up and ask, Wu Xu said to himself.
Young man, you're here to apply, you can come in and have a look,said the young man in charge of recruitment.
Wu Xu: I heard that we have a cement factory in Anping County, which is a large enterprise and is recruiting in the talent market, so I want to come and apply for it. Do you recruit college graduates here?
The young man in charge of recruitment, named Xie Yongqiang, is the head of human resources, and said: You fill in a resume, and I will recommend it to you.
In about twenty minutes, Wu Xu filled out his resume and handed it to Xie Yongqiang.
Xie Yongqiang: Director Yu, take a look, I think this young man is suitable for your branch, why don't you let him go to the company for a formal interview?
Director Yu: Twenty-three years old, majoring in physics education and electronic technology education, can engage in electrical and enter the electrical section. But I didn't graduate from junior college, ah... Because of the failure. Hahaha: Why did the young man fail the course?
Wu Xu: There are three reasons for failing the course, the first is that I can't learn English, and English has always been bad. The second is that I was sick in my sophomore year, and I missed the time for nearly a year, so I was too late and failed the make-up exam. The third is to study without care. But the factory director, I am from the countryside, I can endure hardships, in my hometown I can tie steel bars, move cement, mix mortar, engage in agriculture, and I have been severely hit because of the failure of the department, if I have a job, I will do my best, must do better than people with graduation certificates, I implore the factory director to give a chance, thank you.
Director Yu: Honest in speaking, experienced in being hit, able to endure hardships, a bit like me, mainly rural, in line with the requirements of our cement factory. Director Xie, I think this young man can do it, if you have no opinion, go through the entry procedures for him and arrange it to the electrical section of the clinker branch!
Xie Yongqiang: Director Yu, I agree with your point of view, it's better to let this young man come to our company in the afternoon, if he thinks it's okay, then I will go through the entry procedures for him and officially try it out.
Director Yu: How is it, Wu Xu, young man.
Wu Xu: Thank you Director Yu and Director Xie, I don't have to think about how you arrange me to do it, and I will do it as I can do it well.
Xie Yongqiang: You go first, call me if you think about it in the afternoon, I've been in the office in the afternoon.
Wu Xu finally had a little confidence, and after saying goodbye to Director Yu and Director Xie, he cleaned up a little and then drove to Anping County.
Thankfully, I still have 96 yuan left here, two yuan to take the bus to the train station, four yuan to take the slowest train from the railway station to Anping County, and four yuan to Taiwan Cement Anping Cement Co., Ltd. from the railway station in Anping County, and there are 86 yuan left. That's it for now, and then think of a way.
Wu Xu took the bus to the train, and then to the passenger shuttle, a total of four and a half hours by car, and finally arrived at Anping Cement Co., Ltd., which is 40 kilometers away from Anyang City, at about 15:40 in the afternoon.
I don't know if I don't see it, I am shocked when I see it, in Wu Xu's cognition, cement factories are heavily polluting enterprises with high pollution, high noise and high dust, and everyone dare not go. As soon as he entered the door of the company, he was surprised by the planning and construction of Taiwan Cement Anping Cement Co., Ltd., which has artificial lakes, green belts, staff dormitories, stadiums, activity rooms, office buildings and so on. The introduction of Anping County Cement Co., Ltd. has a total investment of 1.2 billion yuan, an annual output value of 2 billion yuan, a total of more than 800 employees, and the salary of ordinary employees is 1.3 times that of employees in Anping County institutions. What a good company, what a company, what a job. I couldn't miss the opportunity anymore, so I immediately contacted Xie Yongqiang, the head of human resources.
Wu Xu: Hello Director Xie, I am Wu Xu, who applied for the job this morning, are you in the office, I will come to handle the entry procedures.
Xie Yongqiang: Come on, the comprehensive office on the third floor.
So Wu Xu hurried to Xie Yongqiang's office, he didn't dare to delay, because he couldn't afford to lose, couldn't wait, couldn't afford to consume, and was deeply afraid that Xie Yongqiang and Director Yu would regret and lose the opportunity to work in Anping Cement Co., Ltd.
Congratulations to you Wu Xu, we will be colleagues in the future, Xie Yongqiang said.
Wu Xu: Thank you, Director Xie, I will study hard and work hard.
Xie Yongqiang: On the first day of your report today, I will explain some things to you. First, if you officially join the company, go to the clinker branch before nine o'clock tomorrow morning to find Chen Jiaojiao, the general clerk of the clinker branch, to go through the formalities and report to Director Yu, and then they will arrange for you to report to the electrical section. Second, the electrical section is the first line of production, safety first, and three-level safety training must be done. Third, when I get the key, the dormitory will temporarily be one room for two people, and when the dormitory building is repaired, I can arrange a single apartment for one person, so I will do it for the time being.
Wu Xu: Okay, thank you, Director Xie, no matter where my job is, as long as you tell me, I will be there as soon as possible.
