003. Interview
"Why are you screaming in the room all by yourself?" Fu Xinhui, who heard the movement, asked aloud from outside. Search: \(????) Watch fine literature for free
"Ah ah..." Zhang Siyi opened the door, opened his arms and screamed at the other party to show his surging mood at the moment.
Fu Xinhui couldn't dodge in time, and was hugged by him.
Just at this moment, a voice came from the front door, "What are you two doing?" Jiang Hai was holding a key in his left hand and a box of convenience store bento in his right, looking at them with a strange expression.
Fu Xinhui: "..."
Zhang Siyi rushed towards Jiang Hai excitedly again: "Daihai~~~ I received a job application reply! I'm going for an interview!"
"Really?" Jiang Haizhan smiled and said happily, "Which company is it?"
"Wujie Architectural Design Office!" Zhang Siyi clenched his fist excitedly.
The three gathered at the coffee table and sat down. As soon as Jiang Hai graduated, he had a job arranged by his family. Except for a few large design institutes, he was not familiar with other companies in the market, so he asked, "What is that place? OK?"
Fu Xinhui also complained, "I've never heard of it. You've been looking for a job for so long and you haven't heard from it. It's not a bad company that no one goes to, right?"
Zhang Siyi was so angry that he raised his eyebrows, and quickly told them about the background of "No Border", its evaluation and word of mouth on abbs.
Jiang Hai nodded and said, "It sounds amazing, so when are you going to interview?"
After his reminder, Zhang Siyi was immediately beaten back to his original shape, and he covered his face with an "Ow" and said, "What should I do in the three days from tomorrow, I'm so nervous, what questions will I usually ask in interviews? There is a high possibility of failing. ?"
Fu Xinhui dropped a tip in his mouth and joked, "You're so handsome, you should be fine."
Zhang Siyi: "Be serious! This is not for fun!"
Jiang Hai scratched his head and said, "I haven't had an interview before, why don't we ask Su Yuan?"
Su Yuan is one of the girls who returned to China at the same time as them. Her professional grades are the best among several people, and she also has a plan for her career path. When Zhang Siyi and the others were still blindfolded, she had already received an internship offer from a British design firm in the Haicheng branch. There are few Chinese who come to them, and the classmates are considered to be in love with each other. If there is any difficulty in finding her, she is willing to help.
Zhang Siyi slapped his thigh and hurried back to his room to get an ipad to make a video call from Su Yuan.
"Hello~!" As soon as the connection was connected, Su Yuan's enthusiastic voice came from the other end, "Xiao Yi, what's the matter?"
In the video, the girls are wearing a little black dress, talking to them with a mobile phone in one hand, and dialing the shoulder strap of the chain bag in the other, revealing a mature intellectual beauty.
Before becoming classmates with them, Su Yuan first studied English at a domestic university for two years, and then went abroad to switch to architecture, so he was two years older than them, and he liked to add the word "small" in front of them when addressing Zhang Siyi and Fu Xinhui.
At this time, another smiley face the size of a palm was squeezed into the video. The other party put on beautiful eye makeup and lip gloss, which made people's eyes shine.
"I'm going, Ren Mengxuan is also there?" This is another female classmate who stayed in Haicheng, "Where are you going?" Zhang Siyi asked.
"Just got off work and was called out by Xuan Xuan to go clubbing." Su Yuan laughed.
"You have a very cool life!" The two next to Zhang Siyi also came over to say hello.
"Hey, of course, do you want to come out and have a drink together?" Ren Mengxuan warmly invited.
Zhang Siyi was thinking about his interview, so he didn't have the heart to go clubbing, so he quickly refused, indicating his purpose of getting on the phone.
When Su Yuan learned that he received the interview notice from Wujing, he was both shocked and envious: "Wow, I also submitted the resume of Wujing before, and they didn't reply to me!"
Zhang Siyi glanced at the "little and ignorant" buddy next to him with a sullen face, and said in his heart, see, this company is really good, I'm not bragging to you.
After a few words of laughter, Su Yuan returned to the topic and said: "Generally speaking, giving you an interview notice means you are recognized. As long as your ability matches the submitted portfolio, there will be no problem. Some overseas studios I will let a foreigner interview you to see how your professional English and communication skills are, which is already very advantageous in China," Su Yuan shrugged, "In my opinion, going for an interview is just a walk and talk. Talk about treatment, nothing else."
But Zhang Siyi was still very nervous. He wasn't as good as Su Yuan, so naturally he couldn't have her calm aura.
Su Yuan encouraged him: "Take it easy, young man, we are just a few spring onions that have just graduated from the department. Do you think the firm recruited us to be the leader? No! What they want is cheap labor that can bear hardships and stand hard work, so The most important thing is attitude. You have already knocked on that door, then you just have to act like you can do anything, no matter what the interviewer asks you, you have to say 'yes', even if not You also have to declare that you are willing to learn things, in short, get in first. They are also 'betting on stones', but whether it is stone or jade depends on your own fortune."
Zhang Siyi was inspired by her words: "Female! I've been taught!"
Su Yuan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, just go forward boldly, don't be shy! Remember to eat when there is good news."
Zhang Siyi clenched his fist excitedly: "Must!"
Being fed a belly of chicken soup, Zhang Siyi was so excited that he didn't fall asleep all night. He only squinted for a while in the early hours of the morning, but he quickly woke up.
Thinking of the interview, he had no sleep at all. He was like a Super Mary who ate a five-pointed star. He rushed into the bathroom to wash his hair, take a shower, shave, grab his hair and change his clothes. He tossed it back and forth for half an hour. I guess it goes back to picking up girls two years ago.
Finally, looking at the radiant and handsome boy in the mirror, Zhang Siyi whistled, giving birth to a long-lost confidence from the bottom of his heart.
-You can do it, little guy!
The office is located in CBD in the center of Haicheng City. It is only a 20-minute subway ride away from the house they rented. The transportation is very convenient. If I can actually work there in the future, it will be very convenient to come and go every day. This advantage alone makes Zhang Siyi excited and look forward to it. Incomparable.
Rushing to the destination in the morning rush hour, Zhang Siyi looked up at the office building that was 100 meters high in front of him. The Wujing Office was on one of the first floors.
Looking at the white-collar elites rushing towards the entrance, Zhang Siyi opened his arms, closed his eyes, took a deep breath of the filthy morning air of the city, and looked away.
Soon, he will be one of these office workers, every 9 to 5, just think about it and be happy...
Because it was working time, there were a lot of people coming, and the elevator stopped almost layer by layer, and finally reached the floor where Wujing was. As soon as the elevator door opened, Zhang Siyi saw a large set of green plants.
It was a lattice frame made of glass, and almost every frame had a pot of plants, some of which were grassy or succulent. It seemed random, but it had a scattered sense of art.
Across the gap between the potted plants, through the glass, you can vaguely see the internal office space.
The neatly arranged off-white design table is full of imacs, and designers in twos and threes are working attentively inside... ahhh, it's so cool!
After turning left, on the pure white wall at the end of the corridor, two big red characters "Wu Jing" suddenly jumped into view.
Walking straight along the landscape wall to the end, Zhang Siyi realized that there was a row of small black characters hanging below the two big characters—
"The pursuit is endless."
Zhang Siyi's heart skipped a beat in an instant, and he felt as if he had been beaten with a tube of chicken blood.
Further inside is the main entrance of the office. Zhang Siyi calmed down and expressed his intention to the front desk.
The other party warmly took him into a small reception room, poured a cup of hot water for him, and politely said, "Wait a minute, I'll inform the personnel department."
Within half a minute, Miss Wang from the Personnel Department came over to greet him and told him that Director Gu, who was interviewing him, would come soon.
Zhang Siyi nodded repeatedly to express his gratitude. While waiting for others, he imagined the questions Director Gu would ask himself, and went through what Su Yuan said again in his mind, while trying his best to encourage himself.
"Knock knock." The sound of fingers tapping on the glass door pulled back Zhang Siyi's thoughts. When he turned his head, he saw a tall and thin young man at the door, with leather casual shoes, gray casual pants, a white T-shirt, and an open cotton shirt. ...Wait, this guy looks familiar!
Ah, he seems to be the one who was doused with coffee in the cafe yesterday morning... Handsome guy!
Times Ooooooo! Why is this person here! ! !
The other party glanced at Zhang Siyi expressionlessly, nodded slightly towards him as a greeting, and then sat down in a relaxed manner, as if they were just meeting for the first time.
... Has he forgotten himself
Not likely...
Compared to Zhang Siyi's inner collapse, the other party seemed to be very calm. He slowly opened the document in his hand and asked, "Zhang Siyi, right?"
"Uh, um, hello, Gu... Director?" Zhang Siyi couldn't believe it, this person is an architect? The fuck is the director? He doesn't look a few years older than himself! Why is the director so young? ?
"Hello, my name is Gu Xiao." The young man across from him took a business card and pushed it in front of him. Then he took out a pen in business, glanced down at the document, and said lightly, "Introduce yourself."
Zhang Siyi glanced at the words on the business card—
Gu Xiao
xiao gu
National First-Class Certified Architect
Chief Architect
Design Director
Three full titles, each of which can blind Zhang Siyi...
In an instant, the inevitable job opportunity was like a dream bubble, popped and shattered.
Zhang Siyi's mind was full of the words that his girlfriend scolded him yesterday morning. He estimated that those words had already left an extremely bad impression on the "director" in front of him, plus that cup of coffee...
Oh no, he didn't dare to think further.
If it is said that last night, God made him realize what it means to be "Wu Ji Tai Lai", then now, Zhang Siyi has deeply tasted an unbearable taste, that is, "Extreme joy begets sadness".
It only takes a moment to fall from the clouds to the bottom of the valley.
He's gone, the job is over.
Gu Xiao glanced at him, Zhang Siyi immediately came back from the frustrated blow, and said stiffly: "I, my name is Zhang Siyi, from Ningcheng, graduated from the Department of Architecture of British C University."
Gu Xiao clicked on the document with the end of his pen, and said, "I know about this, let's talk about something else."
"..." Something else? say what? Zhang Siyi has completely lost his mind.
Gu Xiao put down the pen, folded his arms and leaned against the back of the chair, and looked at Zhang Siyi up and down like yesterday, and said, "You're not sloppy at all today."
Zhang Siyi: "..." He really remembered! ! ! (= dish=)
Director Gu raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you talk about your girlfriend?"
Zhang Siyi is sweating in waterfalls, is this person joking? But why did his eyes and tone not seem to be joking at all
Gu Xiao waited for a while, as if helpless to Zhang Siyi's face, he sighed and reminded: "Tell me, why did you study architecture, why did you submit your resume to 'Wuji', do you have any idea about your future? Clear planning and ideas.”
