On Sunday morning, my wife accompanied me to the job fair in the city for an interview. Although this was the first time I had attended a job fair in my life, I was no longer afraid after experiencing Boss Jia's strict underworld interview (I really have to thank Boss Jia). The recruitment venue was located under the head of the square (the same as the space under the stadium). My wife and I spent 20 yuan to buy two admission tickets (actually, it was a blank job application form printed with the name of the organization of the recruitment fair. We couldn't enter without buying it). We entered the venue from the side door at the west end of the square. The venue was crowded and noisy. The dim light and turbid air quickly made people feel suffocated. At that time, there had not been a wave of college students looking for work in the mainland. Most of the people who walked around were middle-aged people. Most of them were laid-off workers from state-owned enterprises. They crowded in the factory recruitment booth area and anxiously squeezed from one booth to another. They told their own situation over and over again. When they recalled the scene, they could not help but think of the laid-off workers who walked out of the farm. They wondered if they had found a way out.
Entering from the west gate, he squeezed through the crowd until he reached the east gate. The company's recruitment booth was set up here. Compared to the factory recruitment area, there were much fewer people here. Perhaps most of the people who came out of the factory did not have the courage to ask about the company. Soon, I found a long coffee table surrounded by a set of sofas. There was the sign I was looking for,"Hao Long Company". There were a few people sitting on the sofa talking. As the sofa seats could not be distinguished, I could not tell who was in charge of recruitment and who was applying for the job. I had to stand aside and wait for about three to four minutes. A man in his forties saw me standing there and looked up to ask me," What position are you looking for?”When he asked this question, my face suddenly heated up. He thought that I was also a recruitment unit. He might be the person in charge of recruitment in this company. "I'm here to apply for a job at Hao Long Company.”I waved the resume in my hand. "Are you also here for the interview?" He seemed a little surprised and reached out to take my resume." I thought that the boss of that unit would come directly to recruit people. Sit down for a while. I'll be done talking to them soon." His smile and gentle voice were very pleasing to the eye. I said," Thank you." I sat down on an empty single-seater sofa and turned around to pull my wife to sit next to me on the wide armrest of the sofa.
I looked at the middle-aged man. He was neither fat nor thin. Although he was sitting, I could still estimate that he was about 1.8 meters tall. He was wearing a short-sleeved plaid shirt with the lower hem tucked into the waist of his straight trousers. He had a refined face and always had an elegant smile on his face. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and his long hair was meticulously combed, revealing the shrewd and capable qualities that a professional manager of a large company should have. She thought to herself that she should be at ease and reliable when dealing with this man. The feeling between him and Boss Jia's people was definitely different. Perhaps this time, he had encountered a decent big company. At this moment, he and the other two men stood up. Perhaps they had finished talking, the middle-aged man said to the two of them," I'll report your situation to the boss. Go back and wait for the call."”These two were probably here to apply for a job.
After the two of them left, he greeted me again." You must have been waiting anxiously, right?”"There's no hurry. They are…?" "Oh, they are applying for civil engineering design. We've already talked about seven or eight positions today.”He pointed at a stack of resumes on the coffee table. I quickly asked," How many people applied for the position of vice president today?”"The agent helped us make three appointments. We've already discussed two of them. You might be the third." "Yes, I'm here to apply for the position of vice president. I wonder if there's still hope?”"Don't be too anxious. Let's see what you're talking about.”Then, she introduced me to the middle-aged woman who was sitting next to her." This is Sister Yang. She's in charge of office work.”She was in charge of the office, so she was the director of the office. I quickly greeted her, and she smiled and nodded politely at me, looking amiable. At this time, I saw that my resume was already in her hand. Perhaps she was looking at my resume when Old Zhao was talking to the two people.
However, Old Zhao's introduction made me not understand his identity. Sister Yang is the office director. Could he be the CEO? "You…are?" He saw my confusion and smiled."I'm also an errand boy. Just call me Old Zhao."”Sister Yang added,"I'm from the branch office, and he's from the group office. He's my leader.”Old Zhao didn't comment on Sister Yang's "leader". He laughed and turned the topic to me."Tell me about your situation?”As I had a good impression of the two of them, I spoke more freely. I briefly introduced my work experience and clearly stated that I wanted to apply for the position of deputy general manager. Old Zhao listened to my introduction carefully and stared at me for a while. He smiled and said,"Those who have been leaders in big companies are really different. Even their words are official.”"Official aura?" I didn't know. No one had ever said that about me. I didn't even realize what it meant to speak like an official. Old Zhao was afraid that I would feel awkward, so he quickly said,"I'm not saying that you're not good at anything. It's just that the tone of your voice tells me that you used to be a leader there."”It's probably because everyone has different opinions. Old Zhao thinks too highly of me. Maybe some people think that I'm a farmer in the city. Although I didn't realize that I still had the aura of an official, I was still happy that Old Zhao said it. At least I wouldn't be looked down upon by others when I came out to make a living. Therefore, he had a better impression of Old Zhao. "I'm too familiar with the Zhoutian Farm that you used to work at. It's a big farm and famous in the province. How can the deputy director of the big farm be wrong? Maybe we've had direct dealings before?”Old Zhao was very excited when he talked about the Zhoutian Farm where I used to work. It also made me speak more boldly. I actually forgot that I was here for a job interview. The topic changed to talking about our experiences with everyone. It's not convenient for me to ask people's ages, but Old Zhao and Sister Yang look like they're in their forties. It was fine to say that they were laid off or that they were looking for a way out. In any case, they were all from state-owned units. Old Zhao came from the provincial power equipment factory. I'm familiar with the power equipment factory. As early as ten years ago, when I was the technical deputy director of the factory, I went to their factory several times to purchase power transformer. At that time, many of the power transformer used by the factories under Zhoutian Farm were produced by this factory. No wonder Old Zhao said that he was too familiar with Zhoutian Farm. He said that before he left the factory (in the first half of 1997), he was the director of the office of this factory. However, fifteen years ago, he probably hadn't reached this position yet. It was almost impossible for me to deal with him directly. Later, I became the deputy director of the farm's headquarters. I didn't directly handle the purchase of the factory's electrical equipment, so I rarely went to their factory. Old Zhao said that he was familiar with Zhoutian Farm, which should be the reason why he had more dealings with the farm's subordinate factories after he became the director of the office. Old Zhao's power equipment factory was also the only one in the province, and it had also achieved remarkable results. In the early days of the reform and opening up, it had been used as a pilot for restructuring and often reported in the newspapers. However, the factory later fell into a serious shortage of production and a large number of employees were reduced. Old Zhao chose to take a long leave and work for his high school classmate who had already become a big boss. Sister Yang's situation was different from Old Zhao's. Her parents-in-law were old officials of a certain level in the government. Her husband also held a small cadre position in the government department. She herself was affiliated with the government's logistics department office. Because the government reduced the cost, her life was tight. She could not stand it and simply came out. He had also made a roundabout way to get in touch with the boss here, so he was sent to the company's office as the director. It turned out that the two of them had the same fate as me. Everyone was in the same boat and couldn't help but sigh at the bitterness of life. I didn't expect that the seemingly unrelated chat would actually have the same effect on my application. I haven't officially mentioned my application, but Old Zhao and Sister Yang have already treated me as one of their own. "We share the same fate. We have to take care of each other in the future. You're the eldest brother in terms of age, and your position in the company is higher than ours. You have more opportunities to talk to the boss. Remember to put in a good word for me and Sister Yang.”Old Zhao's words surprised me. It seemed that being hired was a certainty. I was secretly happy, but I didn't dare to get carried away. How could I take it lightly in the face of complicated reality? Moreover, there were two people in front of me who were competing with them for the same position. I couldn't guarantee that I could beat them.
