004. Hired
This series of questions made Zhang Siyi even more confused. Before meeting Gu Xiao, he was still considering how much salary would be appropriate later. Search: \(¨¨¨¨¨) to watch fine literature for free
But it was obvious that he was thinking too much.
However, since Gu Xiao asked a question, Zhang Siyi had to answer, anyway, the situation was already embarrassing, and no matter how bad it was, it couldn't be worse than this moment.
He took a deep breath, wondering if he wanted to break the jar or if he planned to fight back, he said in a hurry, "Study of architecture was actually influenced by one of my high school principals."
Gu Xiao: "Oh?"
Zhang Siyi: "When I was in the first year of high school, an alumnus who was studying in T University returned to his alma mater to give an inspirational speech for us. He was the number one student in our local college entrance examination and was admitted to the Department of Architecture of T University with the second grade in the province. , he said something at the time that left a deep impression on me."
Indeed, in China, architecture is the major with the highest admission scores in almost all colleges and universities, especially in schools like T University, whose architecture department has almost occupied half of the top students in science in the country.
This is inevitable. At that time, the country was in a stage of high development, and construction was being carried out everywhere. The exaggerated reports of the employment prospects and salary of the construction industry in the news media made many students flock to it; the society’s demand for talents also forced various Colleges and universities have opened architecture majors one after another, and even many literary and film works have portrayed "architect" as a winner in life with a halo above his head. This is a fatal temptation for Zhang Siyi, who was in the middle of the second year.
Before studying this major, Zhang Siyi had countless fantasies about the honorable title of "architect". This fantasy was deeply rooted in his bones, and he once thought that this was an important task entrusted by God - he was destined to be an architect in this life! The construction of the motherland needs him to add bricks and tiles!
…
However, it was not until he really set foot in this field that Zhang Siyi realized that this is a fucking huge pit!
Gu Xiao was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled: "Is this why you study architecture?"
Zhang Siyi didn't expect him to laugh, and Gu Xiao had a cold face when they met twice. At this moment, such a faint smile made Zhang Siyi feel like the spring breeze was blowing on his face and the ice and snow were melting.
The other party's expression softened a lot, and Zhang Siyi felt a little more relaxed... Maybe this is a good start
Gu Xiao blinked and asked again, "Then do you still remember what he said?"
Zhang Siyi: "Uh, I don't remember exactly..."
After being abused by "architecture" for several years, Zhang Siyi was also confused about his original intention when he stayed up late to draw. Especially this time when he was looking for a job, the downturn in the industry gave him a major blow and made him doubt whether his choice was correct or not.
As for what the senior said a few years ago, it has already become a glimpse, and it can't stir the slightest ripple in Zhang Siyi's heart.
Zhang Siyi stroked his forehead deeply in his heart, but continued to say sternly on the surface: "But I thought the senior was cool at the time, so I always took him as an example."
Gu Xiao glanced at the resume beside him, and said, "However, you didn't get into T University."
Zhang Siyi: "..." Nima! (= dish=)
It is not that anyone who wants to take the exam can get into T University. It is one of the highest universities in the country!
Not only T University, but the Eighth School of Architecture is famous all over the country, and the admission score is extremely high. Even though Zhang Siyi was very ambitious in high school, his grades were acceptable, and his college entrance examination scores exceeded the key points by a lot, he could not get into any architecture department, but he was unwilling to go to ordinary schools, so he was in front of his father. Going out of the country coquettishly.
Zhang Siyi inhales, exhales, inhales, exhales... ok, calm down!
"Going abroad to study architecture made me think, um, maybe my horizons will be wider," Zhang Siyi said with consideration, "I heard at the time that China's current architecture education system is all based on the West, so studying in the West can get Better architectural culture.”
Gu Xiao seemed to agree with this answer and nodded slightly.
This small action gave Zhang Siyi a little confidence. He continued to answer the question asked by Gu Xiao just now, explaining the reason why he would choose Wujing, which was nothing more than the few articles summarized by netizens on the forum.
Finally, when it comes to career planning, for everyone who pursues an "architect" career, the primary goal is undoubtedly to obtain a personal license. Only then can one truly be considered an "architect", such as Gu Xiao's business card "National First-Class Registered Architect", which is almost the highest identity certificate for domestic architects.
But this title is not something that any cat or dog can call. Strictly speaking, any unlicensed construction practitioner is only called "designer" or "architectural designer". A fledgling architecture graduate like Zhang Siyi can only apply for a formal position in the workplace as a very junior "assistant architect". As the name suggests, he is an apprentice for a real architect.
As for the qualification evaluation of "architect", different countries also have different evaluation standards.
In China, obtaining an "architect" license requires a professional academic background and a specified number of years of work before being eligible to participate in the national qualification examination. However, this examination is divided into nine doors, and it is not easy to pass. It is said that There are many practitioners who have taken the exam for ten or even decades and still fall behind.
That's why Zhang Siyi was so surprised to see that Gu Xiao was so young.
Zhang Siyi received a subject education in the UK, and his academic qualifications are recognized by RIBA. If he wants to apply for a RIBA license in the future, he also needs to have corresponding work experience, and even has completed architectural works. It's just that the professional judgment requirements in the UK are stricter than those in China. Some people get their licenses at the age of 40 or 50, and they can only be regarded as "young" architects in the riba circle.
This is really a long road, so many people change paths in the middle, such as Fu Xinhui and Jiang Hai who went abroad just to get a "foreign education", and they will not fight to the end.
Affected by them, Zhang Siyi is now confused and undecided. I am afraid that among them, only Su Yuan is the most likely to become an architect.
"I don't have a particularly long-term career plan," Zhang Siyi said frankly. "At the moment, I just want to find a job that can help me continue to grow and learn, and accumulate some experience. As for the future, I will make plans later."
As soon as he said this, there was a "buzzing" cell phone vibrating sound in the room, Zhang Siyi was startled, and when he touched his pocket, his cell phone didn't ring, it was Gu Xiao's.
Gu Xiao took out his mobile phone and glanced at it, frowned and said to Zhang Siyi, "Sorry, wait a moment", then took the mobile phone and went out to answer the call.
Zhang Siyi let out a sigh of relief, and relaxed his tense scriptures a little. He also took out his mobile phone and saw that there were dozens of unread messages in the WeChat discussion group of college classmates—
Su Yuan: "Did Xiao Yi go to the interview?"
Jiang Hai: "I went. I took up the toilet at home early in the morning to wash my hair and take a bath, so I didn't even wash my face. [Bad]"
Fu Xinhui: "Why don't you come to my room to wash, my room has a separate bathroom."
Jiang Hai: "Uh, forget, are you awake?"
Fu Xinhui: "I can't sleep. He went to the interview and made me nervous too."
Ren Mengxuan: "Why do I feel that you two are getting more and more basic."
Fu Xinhui: "..."
Su Yuan: "When are you going to mess around? You are now an unemployed vagabond when we return to Haicheng. @FU Xinhui"
Fu Xinhui: "What's the hurry, take your time."
Su Yuan: "Don't say you graduated from the same school as me when you go out, it's shameful."
Fu Xinhui: "..."
Su Yuan: "I don't know if Xiaoyi has any results."
…
Zhang Siyi quickly scanned it, and reluctantly typed three words in the discussion group: "No drama."
The group quickly exploded and they all asked him what was going on. Zhang Siyi saw that Gu Xiao was back, and he didn't have time to explain. He only made two crying expressions, and quickly put away his phone.
After sitting down again, Gu Xiao still frowned slightly. Zhang Siyi was a little unsure whether the other party's expression was because of him or because of the phone call just now, but no matter what the reason, he didn't have any hope anymore. The performance is not good, and there is that cup of coffee...
Gu Xiao opened the paper portfolio brought by Zhang Siyi with one hand, and gently kneaded the bridge of his nose with the other. He didn't speak for a long time, just sat there and read it carefully, and didn't ask Zhang Siyi any more questions.
Zhang Siyi did not dare to speak, and kept silent, but his eyes swayed and swayed to Gu Xiao's face, involuntarily observed.
Gu Xiao's hands are very beautiful, neither big nor small, with well-defined wrist bones and long, slender fingers, making people feel both soft and tenacious;
His eyelashes are also very long, and they hang down attentively when looking at him, like two delicate little fans;
And the skin, too good to be true, looks really young, making Zhang Siyi extremely puzzled why he is already a "One Note" or a director. (=_=)
As he was leaving, Gu Xiao suddenly raised his head, and Zhang Siyi immediately sat upright, anxiously waiting for the verdict.
Gu Xiao tapped lightly with the pen and asked, "Can I work overtime?"
"Ah?" Zhang Siyi was stunned, and the words Su Yuan said last night could not help echoing in his mind - no matter what the interviewer asks you, you have to say 'yes', even if you don't know something, you have to express your stance Willing to learn.
... Is it possible that there is still a turning point in this matter
Zhang Siyi hurriedly said, "Yes!"
Gu Xiao looked at him and smiled: "There are still a few basic questions, you can't be late..."
Zhang Siyi was overjoyed and nodded again and again: "I won't be late!"
Gu Xiao: "You must do what you promise. Say it if you don't know it, ask if you don't understand it, and don't make your own decisions."
Zhang Siyi's head is like a chicken pecking at rice: "Mmmm!"
Gu Xiao thought about it for a while and said the last point: "You can't check Moments when you are at work."
Zhang Siyi: "..." So he heard it yesterday! (= dish=)
Gu Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Can it be done?"
Zhang Siyi: "Yes, yes." Although I always feel that I have signed a humiliating treaty, it is really a monkey!
Gu Xiao closed his portfolio and said directly: "The salary of Wujing to the interns is 5,000, the internship period is one month, and after the regularization is 8,000, before tax, the bonus is invested according to the project, and whether the salary increases depends on the performance within half a year... "
Ahh~~ Zhang Siyi's heart has already set off fireworks, no matter how much money! Get in first and talk about it!
"If I can accept it, I will start work today." Gu Xiao pushed the child back to him and got up.
"Ah?" Zhang Siyi was stunned, "Today?"
Gu Xiao tilted his head: "Are you busy today?"
Zhang Siyi quickly shook his head: "No no!"
He couldn't be more excited. Yesterday, this handsome guy gave him a cup of coffee. He didn't expect that the other party didn't care about the past and hired him so kindly and generously... God, he didn't know how to thank the other party! (wu v wu)
"That," Zhang Siyi stopped Gu Xiao, who was about to leave, and blushed, "Yesterday, I'm really sorry."
Gu Xiao paused for two seconds and said, "If you care that much, then you can deduct your salary."
Zhang Siyi: "…"
