Chapter 1 Interview
We have warned for a long time, and more than once, but few people listened, and they still insisted on going their own way.
Temperatures are rising, glaciers are melting, and the oceans are changing. Droughts, floods, typhoons, tsunamis, volcanoes, blizzards, viruses, ...... People call it a natural disaster, and we call it a curse.
We give too many warnings, almost every year, but they don't listen, they still act recklessly, so this time, we will not give them any chance.
Apocalypse has come!
......
June 1, 2022, Children's Day.
At half past seven in the morning, the alarm clock rang, Zhang Xiao got up to brush her teeth, then got dressed, tied her tie, and prepared to go to the interview.
Today, he has five interviews, a total of more than 20 resumes, and can receive five notices, for Zhang Xiao, he is already very satisfied.
The bus in the morning is always so punctual, and the pedestrians on the road are always in such a hurry. In this materialistic modern world, it seems that haste has become the norm.
However, Zhang Xiao has always been very casual, he never competes with others for the bus, and always waits for everyone to go up before he slowly gets on the bus, swipes the card, and then finds a random place to stand. It seems that since he went to college, he has never sat in a bus seat.
This is not because he respects the old and loves the young, and has a good heart, but because he doesn't like to fight. There are many times when his mentality is like that of a born Taoist priest, who has nowhere to be stained with dust, and does not want to mess with everything in the world, so he just goes with the flow and gets by.
But this world did not give him the chic of "indifference", some were just studies, work, and endless competition, which seemed to have always been like this.
Zhang Xiao yawned, thinking that this was already the ninth time to submit a resume, and he hoped to succeed.
After sitting for twenty-one stations, Zhang Xiao dragged her dizzy body into a science and technology company, and then led by the staff, came to a room to wait. More than a dozen interviewers have already gathered here, and all of them seem to be well-prepared and confident.
The clothes, looks, and eyes seem to tell others that they have been admitted.
At the beginning of the interview, people entered the office one by one, and then came out again after more than ten minutes, some were happy, some were depressed, and it seemed that the result was not satisfactory.
"On the 17th, it's your turn. A woman shouted.
Zhang Xiao heard someone calling herself, rubbed her eyes that were about to fall asleep, tidied up her clothes casually, and entered the room.
There were five people inside, three men and two women, all wearing professional suits, between the ages of thirty and forty, looking at Zhang Xiao with a smile on their faces.
Zhang Xiao walked in, handed over his resume, and then sat down generously at the signal of a man.
A woman on the left laughs, "Please introduce yourself." ”
"My name is Zhang Xiao, 22 years old, I am a student of mechanical engineering at SZ University, with a bachelor's degree, average grades in school, no sports expertise, no hobbies, I just want to find a job that can be passed, the salary is not too high, four or five thousand. As for skills, CAD, UI, and PS basic functions will be, of course, if the company is more demanding, I can learn. There is also English level 4, and the computer test has also passed, well~ probably that's it. ”
"???" may have seen too many well-prepared and high-quality self-introductions, but Zhang Xiao's casual and perfunctory opening made them "shine".
Is this person really looking for a job sincerely?
"Well, well, how do you feel about our company?" the woman asked again.
"It's fine. ”
"???," the woman asked expectantly, "no?"
"It's ok, I don't know much. ”
"???" The people looked at each other a few times, and finally shook their heads slightly. The woman asked, "Do you have any more questions for us?"
"It's gone. ”
"???" the woman held back a smile, and then said: "Very good, thank you for participating, we will send the results of this interview to your email afterwards, please pay attention to check." ”
Zhang Xiao nodded, and then walked out of the company to prepare for the next round of interviews.
It's just that in the next few games, he almost replied to those workplace elites with the same board, with a completely attitude of whether you like it or not. In this way, the results are obvious, in the evening, he received replies from five companies, without exception, "Mr. Zhang Xiao, hello, thank you for participating in our company's open recruitment, your resume is very competitive, but unfortunately, our company does not have a suitable position for you, but ......"
Zhang Xiao knew what it was without looking at the later words, anyway, the ending was like this, and he was rejected again.
Walking on the street, Zhang Xiao is like a walking corpse, he doesn't know what he is not doing well, why it is so difficult to find a job.
"Alas, isn't it okay if the requirements are so low?" Zhang Xiao thought that the salary he wanted was not high, why didn't anyone want it?
He put his phone away, sighed, and prepared to go back to rest, thinking that if he couldn't find a job again, he would go home to farm.
"Hey, it looks like I don't have any land. I don't have my dad's houses, cars, or pig farms, so I don't have anything. ”
Zhang Xiao had an excellent mentality, and in a blink of an eye, she dissipated the haze and became happy. I was about to catch the bus back to school when I received a text message on my phone.
"Mr. Zhang, hello, I am HR of Chixia Co., Ltd., and I sincerely invite you to come for an interview at 19:00 on June 1, at No. 13 Shizi Street. ”
Zhang Xiao looked at the time, "I'll go, it's almost sixty forty." "If you calculate the time, it will definitely be too late to take the bus, so you can only take a taxi.
Stretched out his hand to stop a Didi, sat in the car and thought, "I don't seem to have submitted a resume to this company, did I just submit it in the past? Or did they see my resume on the Internet?"
After thinking for a while and not having an answer, I didn't think about it anymore. Soon the car stopped in front of an alley, Zhang Xiao walked down to take a look, this is clearly a snack street, how can there be a company in such a place.
But this is indeed Shizi Street.
Zhang Xiao looked left and right, and then asked a pancake fruit boss, where is No. 13 Shizi Street.
The boss pointed into the alley, "Just get to the end." ”
"In this?" Zhang Xiao was a little skeptical, how could there be a company here. But he gritted his teeth and walked in. When I walked to the end, I saw a house number of No. 13 Shizi Street, and in addition to the door number, there was also a signboard that could not be dropped, "Chixia Co., Ltd." ”
Is this really a company? Zhang Xiao was a little reluctant to go in, but thought that since he had come, he would go in and have a look.
When I opened the door, it was dark and damp, full of cardboard boxes and neatly stacked plastic bottles.
"I'll go, it's like a garbage collection bin. ”
Zhang Xiao cautiously walked inside, crossed a patio, came to the hall, and shouted in a low voice, "Is there anyone?"
"Yes, yes, right away. A man's voice sounded inside, and then I saw a bald middle-aged man wearing a sweatshirt, sandals, and a boxed lunch walking out of the back hall, "What do you want to sell?" ”
"Hey, it's a garbage recycling bin. ”
Zhang Xiao wanted to cry without tears, looked at the middle-aged man's long hair on the top of his head, and asked, "You are here for the garbage recycling station, not Chixia Co., Ltd.?"
The man looked at Zhang Xiao, then his eyes lit up, and he shouted, "Old Gu, someone is coming for an interview." ”
Hearing the shout, there was a crackling sound from inside, and then a man in his thirties ran out of it, grabbed Zhang Xiao's hand, for fear that he would run away, "I am the HR of this company, you are welcome to come for an interview." ”
Zhang Xiao's mouth opened wide, "What's the situation." ”
Look at this man again, although he is wearing a suit and tie on his upper body, he is only wearing a pair of underwear underneath, and he is still SpongeBob SquarePants. There are also these sandals, dark circles, fading face, and hair smoothed out with a little water, where is a little bit of workplace HR style.
This completely subverted the beautiful image of HR workplace elites established by those previous companies in Zhang Xiao's heart.
"Well, I suddenly remembered that my roommate's girlfriend was about to give birth, and I had to hurry over and say goodbye. Zhang Xiao hurriedly pushed out the man's hand and ran straight out.
The man smiled, "It's not that easy to go." Often, close the door and let the dog go. ”
The bald middle-aged man burst into a shout, his body flashed, and he stopped at the door, slammed, and closed the door, "If you want to leave, it's not so easy, Lao Huang come out." ”
As he barked, a yellow authentic Chinese pastoral dog ran out with vigorous footwork, bit Zhang Xiao's shoes, and pulled hard.
At first, Zhang Xiao thought that there was really a big dog running out, and her palms were sweaty, but when she saw that the dog was no bigger than her own shoes, even if she looked fierce, she looked cute, so she lifted it up, "I thought it was a beast, it scared me." ”
"Damn, Lao Huang is not his opponent, it seems that I have to make a move. Lao Chang spit out a mouthful of saliva and rubbed it in the palm of his hand, then put out a fist fight, hooked his fingers and said: "Boy, you can come, I won't be afraid of you." ”
At first, Zhang Xiao thought she had walked into a garbage recycling station, but now it seems that she has entered a mental hospital.
He put the puppy on the ground and frowned, "What the hell do you want to do? ”
"I don't have time for you, so I'll get things done early, so let's get off work early. Lao Gu stepped forward and became a little more serious.
"What's the matter?"
"Interview. ”
"Is it okay not to face each other?"
"If you don't face it, you can't go. ”
Walking into the hall, the three of them went to the second floor. It was found that the second floor was completely different from the first floor, the second floor was not only brightly lit, but also exquisitely furnished, but it looked a bit like an ancient study, the key is that in addition to books, there are weapon racks on the side, which are full of Tang swords, katanas, spears, Han swords, Emei thorns, flying knives, darts......
A wide variety of weapons, all sorts of them.
Lao Gu came in, sat behind a bookcase, and took out a cigarette from the drawer, "Do you smoke?"
Zhang Xiao shook her head.
"You may be seated. Lao Gu withdrew his hand and lit a cigarette.
Zhang Xiao looked around and there was no chair, so he had to say, "I'm standing, let's start." ”
"Okay, let's introduce myself. Lao Gu lit a cigarette and began to smoke.
"My name is Zhang Xiao, I have a bachelor's degree, I have no specialty, and my salary expectation is 50,000 yuan, okay. Zhang Xiao didn't want to waste time here, he just wanted to slip away quickly, so the salary offered was extremely high, and he didn't expect the other party to agree.
"Well, I read your resume, your resume is very competitive, but ......"
Zhang Xiao thought to herself, "Sure enough, I'm going to refuse." Just as he was about to turn around and leave, Lao Gu suddenly stood up and said: "No, however, welcome to join us, you will be a part of the Red Star Company in the future, we will share the difficulties and blessings, and we will be brothers in the future, come and give me five." ”
Lao Gu took Zhang Xiao's hand, patted it hard, and then took out a form from the table, "Entry form, just fill it in casually." ”
"???" Zhang Xiao also reacted, what the hell is going on.
Lao Tzu entered the pyramid scheme.
