The Pentium Era - South to North

The interview in the afternoon was scheduled to start at two o'clock. Zhang Xiangbei and Xiao Wu had Chinese food in the restaurant on the second floor of the hotel. They went down to the first floor and walked to the door of the hotel. They saw that the sun was very bright outside. The two of them stepped back and sat down. Went to the lobby bar, ordered a pot of tea, and sat drinking tea and chatting.

The position where Zhang Xiangbei was sitting was facing the hotel door. He could see people coming in and out. This time at noon was also the time when the hotel had the fewest guests. Those who were due to check out had already checked out and left. The guests hadn’t arrived so early, and the guests who were still staying in the hotel were all taking a nap in their rooms.

At about one o'clock, Zhang Xiangbei saw a young man in his twenties or eighty-year-old walking in. His skin was dark, not ordinary black, but very dark, but he was wearing a white T-shirt and a pair of light pants. Earthy yellow casual pants and a pair of canvas casual shoes.

After he walked into the lobby, he checked his watch, walked directly to the sofa and sat down, turned sideways, stared at the front desk at the end of the hall, and after a while, he stood up and walked out. , stood in the shadow of the porch at the entrance, looking out boredly, stood for a while and then walked back, sat down on the sofa, rubbed his face with his hands, and looked at his watch.

He leaned back and closed his eyes.

"The man sitting on the sofa over there is here to apply for a job."

Zhang Xiangbei whispered to Xiao Wu. Xiao Wu turned around and asked, "How do you know?"

"Feeling." Zhang Xiangbei said.

Zhang Xiangbei remembered it while he was talking. He took out his mobile phone, opened his mailbox, found an attachment from the mailbox, and opened it. It was a registration form. Zhang Xiangbei showed his mobile phone to Xiao Wu:

"Look, it's him, Guo Chenglai."

Xiao Wu looked at the photo, then turned to look at the person sitting over there. Xiao Wu shook his head and said it didn't look like it. The one in the photo looked like a middle school student, fair and delicate, while the one over there looked like a black man.

Zhang Xiangbei laughed: "Who doesn't know how to be beautiful now? Especially when you take a black person in the registration photo, you scare the recruiters and get eliminated in the first round?"

Xiao Wu thought it made sense and said, "Do you want me to go over and ask?"

"No, just follow the procedure." Zhang Xiangbei said.

At 1:50, the two of them called the waiter over to sign the bill, then took the elevator upstairs. As soon as they walked into the room and sat down, the doorbell rang. Xiao Wu walked over and opened the door. Standing at the door was indeed the person in front of him upstairs. Xiao Wu turned around and looked at the person he saw next, Zhang Xiangbei, and both of them laughed.

Guo Chenglai walked in. He was laughed at by the two of them inexplicably and looked a little embarrassed. Zhang Xiangbei said quickly:

"You are Guo Cheng, please come in."

"You are Mr. Zhang, so young?" Guo Chenglai asked.

Zhang Xiangbei said yes, it's true. We were downstairs just now and saw you. You came early?

Guo Chenglai was right: "I came here by bus. I was afraid of wasting time, so I went out early and came here to wait."

Zhang Xiangbei said yes, he went to the refrigerator, brought back a bottle of water, and handed it to Guo Chenglai. Guo Chenglai quickly said thank you, thank you, Mr. Zhang!

Zhang Xiangbei felt happy. Fortunately, he gave away three bottles of water today and finally heard a thank you.

All three people sat down, and Zhang Xiangbei asked Guo Cheng to introduce his experience. Guo Cheng said:

"My experience is very simple. After graduating from college, I went to a pharmaceutical company and was sent here to collect keels. I have been doing this job for six years."

"Keel? You came to Ningxia to buy wood? Is there a lot of wood in Ningxia?" Xiao Wu asked.

"No, not that keel."

Guo Chenglai knew that Xiao Wu had misunderstood and thought it was the light steel keel made of wood or galvanized sheet used to decorate the ceiling. Guo Chenglai said:

"The dragon bones I'm talking about are Chinese medicinal materials, which are ancient creatures, such as the skeleton fossils of large animals such as elephants, rhinos, and tridactyls."

Zhang Xiangbei and Xiao Wu both nodded and understood. Zhang Xiangbei asked, "What is the use of this dragon bone?"

"It has sedative, hypnotic, and anticonvulsant effects. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is used to treat epilepsy, mania, forgetfulness, insomnia, spontaneous sweating, nocturnal emissions, turbid stranguria, vomiting and blood in the stool, metrorrhagia, diarrhea, and prolapse. , the ulcer won’t close for a long time, etc.”

Guo Cheng was talking in jargon, but Zhang Xiangbei and the others seemed to understand it, but they knew it was an animal fossil with many uses. Zhang Xiangbei asked:

"Are there many keels like this here in Ningxia?"

"When I first came here, there were a lot of them. I dug a large area in the sand. When I was lucky, I could collect a trainload of railroad tracks at a time. Now there are less and less. If you can sell these things for money, the more people will dig them up, the more people will buy them." There are so many people there, they have searched everywhere.”

"Worked for six years?"

Guo Chenglai nodded.

"Why do you do this?" Zhang Xiangbei continued to ask.

Guo Chenglai said: "When I was in college, I studied traditional Chinese medicine, which was not a good school. In Baise, you must have never heard of Mr. Zhang. From a school like ours, after graduation, the hospital will Those who can't get in can only go to a pharmaceutical company, or work as a medical representative in a pharmaceutical factory. I went to a pharmaceutical company, and there were no other positions available, so I was sent here to buy keels.

"By the way, I'll also send some wolfberry and dodder seeds back. They are both Chinese medicinal materials produced here in Ningxia."

Zhang Xiangbei nodded and thought to himself, this person is honest and what he said is exactly what he filled out on the registration form. There is no modification and there is no need to modify it. How else can such a resume be modified?

It seems that even the photo on the registration form is not the result of beauty, but should be a photo taken in college. The face in front of me is the result of the past six years, coming and going in the wind and rain on this inland plateau. the result of.

"After working for six years, why don't you want to do it now?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"One is that there are fewer and fewer keels, and it is becoming more and more difficult to purchase. But on the other hand, there are more and more fake keels. They are all made from current pig bones. The prices are getting cheaper and cheaper. The price is even cheaper than the price we paid for it, so I have no choice but to find a way to change my career," said Guo Cheng.

"You have been in Ningxia for six years, so you must be very familiar with Ningxia?" Xiao Wu asked.

"I'm familiar with it. It can be said that I have been to every township and village in the autonomous region. Isn't the person you want to recruit this time a vegetable purchaser? Ningxia is also a vegetable province. I know all the vegetables produced in each place. Chu, if I really search, I can find acquaintances everywhere, so I thought, I am very suitable for this job." Guo Cheng said.

Xiao Wu looked at Zhang Xiangbei, Zhang Xiangbei nodded slightly, Xiao Wu said:

"Okay, Xiao Guo, we will notify you tonight if you can be admitted. Please wait for our call, okay?"

"Okay." Guo Chenglai nodded, hesitated, and asked: "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Wu, I would like to ask, if I am admitted, when can I go to work?"

"I can do it tomorrow." Zhang Xiangbei said, "By the way, can you come out to your pharmaceutical company at any time?"

"Okay, for buyers like us, we haven't even signed a labor contract, and the company won't buy insurance for us. They just give us a basic salary of 800 yuan a month. If the medicinal materials are sent back, we will get another I haven’t received my commission for two months,” Guo Cheng said.

Zhang Xiangbei stood up and said, "Okay, wait for our call tonight. If it's settled, you can go to Shizuishan with us tomorrow, okay?"

Guo Cheng said yes, and he stood up, looked at the bottle of water he had taken two sips of, and asked Zhang Xiangbei: "Mr. Zhang, can I take this water with me?"

Zhang Xiangbei said okay, you can drink it on the way.

After seeing off Guo Chenglai, both Zhang Xiangbei and Xiao Wu became happy. Zhang Xiangbei said: "It seems that the momentum is good this afternoon. Finally, someone reliable is here."

Xiao Wu also said: "I wonder if this person can be the general manager of the branch. It's another matter. If he can be a purchaser, there will be no problem at all. If there is no suitable person, we will set up an office here first."

Zhang Xiangbei said yes.

The second person who came for the interview was not ideal, so Zhang Xiangbei rejected it on the spot and didn't even give him a chance to wait for a call at night.

The last person in the afternoon was a woman named Xiang Yiyun. For this person, Wu Huan and Zhang Xiangbei repeatedly explained. Wu Huan said, Mr. Zhang, I know that this job is not suitable for women. I will do the same with this person. I repeatedly explained to Evian, but it was useless. She just insisted that she was capable, saying that she liked running around, so she must be given this opportunity.

"Mr. Zhang, I really have no choice. She has called me so many times. Mr. Zhang, please help me. Just meet her and help me get rid of her, okay?"

Wu Huan begged Zhang Xiangbei on the phone, and Zhang Xiangbei laughed loudly. He said okay, I will come and meet her for a while to see what kind of fairy she is.

Wu Huan was laughing on the phone. She said, "A god is definitely not a god. You have seen the photo. He is just an ordinary person, but his voice is still very nice. Just close your eyes and do the interview."

"Go!" Zhang Xiangbei cursed.

Wu Huan laughed and hung up the phone.

"Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding." Zhang Xiangbei knew that it must be Xiang Yiyun. He walked over and opened the door, but was stunned.

He saw a slim girl standing outside the door. She had long, baked hair, light brown, fair skin, and a pretty face. She was wearing a light blue dress with dark flowers, from Prada, and trousers on her feet. A pair of high heels, Zhang Xiangbei couldn't figure out, they must be some kind of famous brand.

"Who are you looking for?" Zhang Xiangbei asked.

"Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Zhang and Mr. Wu." the girl said.

Zhang Xiangbei said: "My surname is Zhang."

The girl's eyebrows jumped and she laughed: "Are you Mr. Zhang? Great, I'm here for an interview. My name is Xiang Yiyun?"

Are you Xiang Eyun? Let me go, this is too different from what is on the registration form, right?

Zhang Xiangbei was stunned. Xiao Wu had also seen the registration form. He came over and asked: "Are you Xiang Yiyun? You and the registration form..."

Xiang Yiyun chuckled: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, the registration form uses my sister's photo. Aren't you going to recruit buyers? I'm just worried that you will think I'm a vase and kick me. Well, they didn’t even give me a chance for an interview.”
