Because of the air conditioner, Wu Xiaoqing had already taken off his coat.

Most of the hot water that the search and rescue team had boiled for him had entered the sewer along with Wu Xiaoqing's two trips to the toilet.

The room was not quiet, the computer and the air conditioner started humming, and in the cargo area of ​​the next room, the noise of automatic forklifts moving goods could be heard from time to time.

But at this moment, the existence of these voices could no longer disturb Wu Xiaoqing in the slightest.

Wu Xiaoqing looked at her mobile phone quietly, just like an ordinary young man who was addicted to mobile phones, quietly looking at her mobile phone, her eyes fixed on her mobile phone.

There is a ready-made computer in the room, but because it is dedicated to the search and rescue team alone, the computer does not have a display screen.According to the meaning of the search and rescue team, in fact, Wu Xiaoqing can go back to the office to see, but Wu Xiaoqing thinks this is a good place.

On the first day of the new year, there must be no one in the company. What's the point of him staying alone in his office.Here, at least there is a search and rescue team—even if it's just a robot body.

It took an hour and a half for Wu Xiaoqing to browse through the contents of the entire form.The amount of information in the table is equivalent to the sum of several dictionaries. Of course, it is impossible for Wu Xiaoqing to read all of them carefully in such a short period of time.He just got a rough idea of ​​the content of the information and how accurate the information is...

Next, Wu Xiaoqing began to try intensive reading.

In fact, this form was not made for Wu Xiaoqing.

According to the search and rescue team's plan just now, Wu Xiaoqing's task at that time is to meet directly with the civilization that made the form. That is to say, this civilization itself knows all the characters - then he naturally doesn't need to specialize in these voices .

Moreover, the voice of the civilization that gave the form does not exist in the form. Wu Xiaoqing doesn't know if they are unwilling to give the information of their own civilization, or it is really the same as what the search and rescue team said-this civilization has arrived The stage beyond words.

"Beyond words?" Wu Xiaoqing found it hard to imagine.In his view, the text of a civilization is almost the thread of the entire civilization, and it is the most important spiritual wealth of civilization.

If a civilization is compared to a person, then words are the bones of this civilization.When civilization develops and grows, it needs bones to grow synchronously and provide support... A civilization without words is like a person without bones.

"Your analogy is interesting, but what if," said the Collector, "they were like me?"

Wu Xiaoqing was stunned.

The search and rescue team is an intelligent body without bones.Not to mention bones, he doesn't even need a body.Before he has this robot body, he can hide in any medium that can store information - mobile phone, computer, base station, USB flash drive...

At least, for the search and rescue team, writing is not necessary for him.If he has to carry all written information with him wherever he goes, it is like a person has to carry a dictionary wherever he goes—how can he allow himself to be loaded into any place anytime, anywhere?

"Are they the same as you?" Wu Xiaoqing asked stupidly.

"I do not know."

"I don't know?" Wu Xiaoqing asked, "Didn't you say that they gave you the form?"

"That's right, but giving it to me doesn't mean we've had contact."

Wu Xiaoqing quickly understood: "You mean, this time, you didn't come to find them? They came to you?"

"Yes," the search and rescue team said, "the collection team has established teleportation points and contact stations in many civilizations...you have seen some of them. I was contacted by the other party. There was no Chinese in the original document given to me. and English—but after knowing where I was, he gave me another copy. Do you know what that means?"

Wu Xiaoqing's eyes widened: "They know the earth!?"

"They know everything about the earth," said the search and rescue team. "Look at the glossary, the explanation of the most cutting-edge scientific terms on the earth-they have been observing the earth. But it is not surprising, all kinds of civilizations exist in the universe, Since I can come, other civilizations can even more."

"Then why didn't they contact us?" As soon as Wu Xiaoqing said this, he knew he had asked a stupid question.

However, the search and rescue team didn't care, and gave him a more positive answer: "When we finish this mission, we will probably know the answer."

Wu Xiaoqing's current job was actually prepared for Yevgeny and Shen Changwen.

He is trying to learn the characters and languages ​​of the alien civilization in the fourth column.

According to the plan of the search and rescue team, this mission will need to negotiate with the three civilizations at the same time.

The other two civilizations, one uses machine language, and the form of this civilization is likely to be some kind of silicon-based civilization.The other one is the one Wu Xiaoqing is trying to learn now. The language he uses is a combination of letters and ideograms, and the grammatical speech also has obvious characteristics-it seems that it cannot be uttered by human vocal cords at all.Compared with the human voice, its voice is generally lower, and it sounds like the vibration of a cello—this language is not so much "spoken", but in Wu Xiaoqing's case, it is more hummed with a nasal sound replace.

……

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen She had a rare late sleep.

Chen She lives alone, and during the Chinese New Year, he and his wife go home to accompany the old man to have a New Year's Eve dinner.Chen She is from Shenhai, his wife is from the countryside in Jiangbei, but the house he married was bought in Ningzhou - it is really inconvenient to live this year.

Chen She did not have a good New Year's Eve. After all, he is the general manager of the company, with 30 people under his command. Red envelopes are the behavior that can most increase prestige.

However, this good thing finally fell on Chen She's head.

Qinglan Consulting is a young company. It has only been eight months since it was registered, and the people hired by the company are all young people.

The turnover of personnel is very high, not to mention the employees, even the recruited HR, and three of them have been changed.Because the company's standards for employing people - it is really changing too fast, the three personnel directors before and after all feel that they have no idea of ​​the company's employing ideas.

The three hrs were directly fired by Wu Xiaoqing. To be honest, every time Chen She returned to the company and saw Wu Xiaoqing waiting for him in his office, he felt a little uneasy.

To a certain extent, Wu Xiaoqing, the young and excessive "boss", can be regarded as moody.

Three hrs, three times fired, three times in the general manager's office, and three times Wu Xiaoqing said casually while eating hamburger and fries: "Ah, the new one... whoever is in charge of personnel, no."

The first time Chen She didn't ask why, but the second time, he felt that Wu Xiaoqing might have made a hasty decision, so he reminded him tactfully - the gap between the two firings was less than half a month, which gave the impression to the employees that he would not It's too bad, and it will have a great negative impact on subsequent recruitment.But Wu Xiaoqing just said: "It's okay, they will get used to it."

Of course, everyone got used to it very quickly. Even the third hr, who took office, was ambitious - but he only stayed there for more than two months before voluntarily resigning on the grounds of his lack of ability.

It sounds good to say that he resigned voluntarily. In fact, Wu Xiaoqing has already told him that this HR does not meet the company's development needs, but the level of observation is still very high. When he didn't say it, he took the initiative to mention it first.

Afterwards, Chen She carefully investigated the reasons. The first one was because of employee complaints - because this HR tried to save costs for the company in terms of employee treatment.

In fact, speaking of it, it’s just an attempt to set up a trial period. In other companies, this is basically a normal behavior, to save money for the boss.But in Qinglan Consulting, this is precisely Wu Xiaoqing's big taboo - this is what Chen She concluded afterwards.

In Chen She's view, a new company like Qinglan Consulting, which is not short of money, actually cares more about the stability of its employees, so as to ensure that the normal operation of the company's business will not be affected, and the cost, especially the labor cost, is very important for expansion. For a new company that doesn't need to worry about it, it's actually the last thing to care about.

The second reason is that he is looking for death, trying to intervene in specific consulting projects. In the company's internal meetings, he has repeatedly expressed objections to those unreasonably high-priced consultants-but he himself does not know it at all. The company didn't know, only Chen She, Yan Yan, and He Yuqing, the veterans of the company, knew a little bit. All the final reviewers of the list were the bosses of the company.

In other words, he directly questioned Wu Xiaoqing's authority.That hr originally wanted to hit He Yuqing and Yan Yan, two rookies who had just graduated from school, and establish his authority—but he was erected in reverse.

And the third one, just as the reason for the hr's resignation said, the reason is the simplest and most direct, he is no longer competent.

Before the third hr took over, it was the rapid growth of the company's business - Wu Xiaoqing would drop a lot of standards and requirements of contacts in Chen She's mailbox every day - and then Chen She would put these standards Untouched and thrown to hr to deal with.

Simply introduce some examples of these standards, and you will know how difficult this is for HR's work:

Sponsorship and consulting fee reference for Corpus Christi College, Oxford University;

List of MIT aerospace professors, consulting fees and contact information...

These still have specific needs. Chen She has been in charge of related work before, and knows that although it is cumbersome, it can still be done step by step, but there are still a lot of things that do not have specific needs:

Long-term talent acquisition strategy in linguistics.

Philosophy talent index.

The collection of nuclear pollution treatment personnel information...

Chen She still remembers the bloody and tearful accusation of that HR in his office before he left the job: "I'm just an ordinary headhunter, you want a programmer, I found it..."

"If you want college students, if you want professors, if you want a large number of people, I've found them too..."

"Later, we need engineers and technicians, that's okay..."

"But what the hell is nuclear pollution treatment? Where can I find it for you? Fukushima or Chernobyl? And language and philosophy..."

"Mr. Chen, when you asked me to come here, you said that the scope of business would be relatively large. Who would have thought that it would be so large? Is the company planning to let me recruit a few presidents in the next step?"

Needless to say, Qinglan Consulting really had such an intention very early on. Of course, it was not the current president who was invited, but the resigned president, as well as senior military staff——at that time Wu Xiaoqing planned to ask them about Some military details are going to be used to perfect the battle plan for Ascension to Heaven.But because these issues were classified, they were finally let go.

Until three days before the Chinese New Year, Chen She had been looking for a fourth hr candidate, but unfortunately he could not find one.If you can't find it, you can only afford a lot of detail work...

After thinking about it, Chen She could only find a dozen percent at most, and gave Yan Yan, He Yuqing and the others the seemingly insignificant part, but they were fledgling after all...

Most of the other tasks are actually done by myself. If I can't do it myself, I can only call back to Wu Xiaoqing or find a teacher-this undoubtedly means that I am incompetent as the general manager.

But Chen She can only be incompetent.It's not that he doesn't work hard, it's that Wu Xiaoqing's current standard is a bit too high.
