Chapter Ninety-Eight: Interview
April 25, fine. As soon as it was dawn, Ke Yidong packed up and went out. There's an interview this afternoon.
Not long ago, his company Woren Brothers was bought by the old black from Chicago.
He didn't want to work in the hands of a hip-hop singer, so he chose to take the money and leave. But life has to go on.
The best place for young Americans who graduated with his electronics major is Silicon Valley in the bend. It's only a five-hour drive from Los Angeles, so I'm not late for the interview and I'm in good shape.
He got up early in the morning. As for the things arranged by his cousin, since Chu Qing and the others left Los Angeles, he didn't care about it.
Only one contact number was left at Dr. Sun's. However, under normal circumstances, he will not be looked for, although Dr. Sun is more ruthless in killing people, but he is still very dedicated to the owner who received the money.
After all, in Hollywood, the reputation is bad, and the business is not good. Out of downtown Los Angeles, the car drove onto Route 101.
casually inserted a disc of "Golden Melody 1991" popular from the mainland. Not to mention, in the past two years, the songs in the mainland have become better and better.
In particular, this "Golden Melody 1991" is very popular in Chinatown. I don't know which company came out, but now only the black market can be sold, and the goods are still very tight.
Genuine video stores, he ran several but couldn't find them.
"Let youth blow your long hair, let it pull your dreams" tape was repeated five times before he arrived in Silicon Valley.
It's a new company that's just been formed. I heard that the boss is also Chinese. It was recommended by Jensen Huang, a senior in his college fraternity.
After looking at the time, there were still two hours before the appointment for the interview, and Ke Yidong, who had driven all the way, decided to find a KFC to eat and rest first.
On the second floor of KFC, a window position, as soon as he served hamburgers and fat house happy water, he saw a few acquaintances passing by the road outside the window.
Subconsciously, Ke Yidong dodged to the side. It wasn't until I was sure that a few people had gone far away and couldn't see him that I was a little relieved.
He really didn't expect to meet Chu Qing and a few people here. Although Chu Qing and the others are all dressed as standard American elites, in his opinion, they still can't get rid of the temperament of the nouveau riche.
Those from the mainland are either village girls or nouveau riche. It's like the woman who was left where Dr. Sun was.
Even if he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars, he still didn't get his approval. Especially when Chu Qing and the others left at that time, they said that they were going to Las Vegas.
He knew what kind of virtue these people were. The nouveau riche from the mainland like to gamble somewhere. At this point, all Chinese are the same.
Those fellow countrymen he bent, no matter how much money he makes in the United States, will eventually lose. I just don't know why Chu Qing and the others are here, I want to come and their visas are coming soon, so let's wait here to return to China.
After eating the delicious food in his hand in a cranky way, he took another sip of happy water. Ke Yidong leaned back in his chair contentedly and thought about the interview that was waiting for him.
"Hey~ky, this is a public place, please sit upright in front of the lady." Just as he was expecting the interview he was waiting for, a white man with a high nose and deep eyes not far from him yelled at him.
I also picked up a sentence
"You yellows are so rude." Subconsciously Ke Yidong, a burst of anger came out.
KY and the yellow race are both discriminatory words against Chinese Americans. But when he stood up, he faced the other party's five big and three thick guys, and the white woman who was looking at him with a shameful smile.
Ke Yidong squeezed the fist in his hand. In the end, nothing was said. Silently put away his backpack and turned to leave.
Out of KFC, he could still hear those people laughing at himself unscrupulously. It's just that the grievances in his heart have been suppressed, so he doesn't dare to break out.
It's not the first time he's faced with discrimination, but every time the result is the same, he can only comfort himself with more things than less.
But if he was black just now, those white elders would never dare to be so blatant. It's just that he is a Chinese, and everyone here knows that Chinese are easy to bully.
will be so unscrupulous. Feeling aggrieved and returning to his car, Ke Yidong threw his backpack into the car and slammed it on the steering wheel a few more times to make him feel better.
In this country, they are outsiders after all, and no matter how hard they try, they will not be recognized by others.
But who calls this paradise, if you want to enjoy luxury, you have to put up with some unfairness. comforted himself a few words in his heart, and when the time was almost up, Ke Yidong adjusted his mood.
I went to the company where I was interviewing. Today's Silicon Valley, before the development of the Internet, was just the preserve of some technology companies.
Most of the people here are semiconductor companies. Just like Chang'an, many companies choose this place because the industry is relatively concentrated.
The company was launched east of Ke, on the fifth floor of an office building. There was a call hanging at the door
Acrylic brand of "bubugao". The first time he saw this name, Ke Yidong reacted in his mind for a while, and then thought clearly, this should be translated into Chinese.
It's just that he doesn't know why, but the name makes him feel a little familiar subconsciously. After checking in at the front desk, he was taken outside an office.
At this moment, there are already more than a dozen people sitting here, most of them are Chinese, the only two white people, and there is one he actually knows, which is the person who was in KFKY and the yellow race just now.
The mood that had just calmed down was ignited again in an instant. It's just that he wasn't angry with the white guy who scolded him this time.
It's the gas of this company. It's so depraved that even racist whites want it. At this moment, Ke Yidong can't do anything except the inaction of his compatriots in his heart.
It's impossible for him to go, he needs this job to keep him going. As for exposing the white man, he didn't dare to do so.
However, the white man, as if he had no intention of stopping, switched his seat with the other person and sat directly beside him.
"Hey! Boy, you'd better keep your mouth shut, I don't think you want to hear anything bad. The white man, bowing his head, whispered a word, and returned to his original position.
Ke Yidong, who was shivering and cold, gritted his teeth, but in the end he didn't say anything. Don't look at so many compatriots here, it can't give him the slightest sense of security.
Even if he says it, no one will necessarily believe him. Just as he was frustrated, a sudden voice interrupted his thoughts.
"Mr. Ke, why are you here?" When he looked up, a beautiful lady in a professional dress was standing in front of him.
"Ugh! Wei~Miss Wei, hello~, I'm here for an interview, how come you~ are here. Subconsciously looked at it, Ke Yidong didn't see Chu Qing.
He really didn't expect to meet Wei Ling here. Looking at her dress, could she also work here?
But Wei Ling's next sentence shocked him speechless.
"This is our branch in the United States."
"bubugao" slightly thought about whether it was the backgammon of Chinese. When I thought about what my cousin said, was this really his mistake?
This group of people is not a nouveau riche from the mainland who came to see the world, but a really powerful boss.
