In the 1990s, this should be the era when the wave of migrant workers rose rapidly in China after the reform and opening up.
The word "part-time job" has quickly become a hot word in people's livelihood issues.
Countless young men and women from villages and towns, with their longing for big cities and helplessness in life, stepped into the roaring factory buildings along the coast, and squandered their youth and sweat in the reinforced concrete big cities.
The migrant workers have gradually become a large part of the population in coastal cities.
And at this time.
Guangdong Province, Yangcheng Railway Station.
Even though it's only mid-April, the climate in Yangcheng is already a bit sultry.
In the bustling waiting hall, Zhong Zhiqiang held a black denim bag in his hand and stood in front of a public phone in a small shop.
"Qiangzi, everyone in your family knows about your coming out, but you also know the situation in my family. Your sister-in-law has always had a bad attitude towards our family since she heard that you were caught speculating, and now your little nephew
I just gave birth and my family is very busy. Our mother came over to take care of your sister-in-law during the confinement period. I still have to go to work to support the family. I am really powerless..."
On the phone, when he heard his elder brother's words, Zhong Zhiqiang just darkened his eyes.
"Brother, I know your difficulties. I am calling you just to tell you that I have found a job in Yangcheng and I will not go back for the time being. Please help me tell my mother that I will go back and be filial to her after I earn money.
Old man."
Zhong Zhiqiang said.
Hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone was obviously relieved.
"Qiangzi, I knew you could do it. Yangcheng is great. This is a big city. Don't worry, I will definitely tell our mother about this. By the way... If there is a chance to make a fortune, don't forget your brother.
As for me, in the past few years while you have been here, I have been taking care of my mother all by myself."
The person on the phone chattered a lot, but Zhong Zhiqiang just answered a few words casually and hung up the phone again.
"Wealth in the mountains has distant relatives, but poverty in the busy city has no one to care about. I never expected that I, Zhong Zhiqiang, would end up in this situation just a few years after my rise to prominence."
After putting down the phone, he glanced at the figures coming and going in the waiting hall. Zhong Zhiqiang showed a self-deprecating smile on his face, and then tore the ticket in his hand into two halves.
"Young man, two dollars for four minutes!"
In the small shop, in front of a small square table, a middle-aged lady was eating noodles from a bowl. Seeing that Zhong Zhiqiang hung up the phone, she quickly looked at the time.
Hearing this, Zhong Zhiqiang took out a wad of change from his coat pocket, took out two coins and handed them to the landlady's hand.
These days, calling a public phone is not cheap.
"Recruitment notice?"
Just in front of the small shop, Zhong Zhiqiang suddenly saw a newspaper placed on the table by the proprietress.
There were some oil stains on the newspaper, but Zhong Zhiqiang could still clearly see the four large characters of the recruitment notice.
"Here, let's take it and read it. Anyway, these are the newspapers from the past two days."
Seeing Zhong Zhiqiang's eyes fall on the newspaper on the table, the landlady accepted the coin, then casually pulled the newspaper over and handed it to Zhong Zhiqiang.
"Thanks!"
Zhong Zhiqiang thanked him, took the newspaper and stood there to read it.
It is not unusual to place a job advertisement in a newspaper, but it is rare to have the job advertisement on the main page and a separate column.
Zhong Zhiqiang noticed that what he was holding was the Guangdong People's Daily. Advertising in such a provincial newspaper was not cheap.
This also proves that at least the company advertising it is probably not ordinary.
"Xingyao Technology?"
After Zhong Zhiqiang carefully read the recruitment notice, he was slightly confused at first, and then frowned slightly.
The other party is willing to spend so much money to advertise, so the recruitment conditions are indeed not low.
Not only a bachelor's degree, but also a marketing major.
On this point alone, Zhong Zhiqiang, who only has a high school education, falls short of the standard.
However, a sentence in the recruitment notice gave Zhong Zhiqiang some hope.
If you have marketing experience, Xingyao Technology will lower the threshold appropriately.
"Marketing experience?
This is my special skill."
Zhong Zhiqiang's lips curled up slightly, and he immediately put away the newspaper, walked to the ticket office in the waiting hall, and bought a ticket to Shenzhen City.
It is not difficult to go to Shenzhen City, but it is not easy to enter the special zone.
However, this is not a problem for Zhong Zhiqiang.
…
April 18.
It's time for the interview. In the past two days, the number of candidates who passed Chu Tianyao's first round of review has increased from the first four to eleven now.
With this amount, it would not be in vain for Chu Tianyao to spend a lot of money on advertising.
In the Star Building.
The interviewees were waiting in a special reception room, and someone took the initiative to bring tea and biscuits.
After all, the waiting process is tedious. Compared to other companies where people sit in the corridor and wait endlessly during interviews, Xingyao Technology treats interviewers like heaven and earth.
However, all the interviewers have arrived in the reception room, but no one has come to arrange their interviews.
Although everyone was sitting in the same room, the atmosphere was as gloomy as water at the moment, and no one paid attention to anyone else's intentions. After all, from a certain perspective, they were all competitors with each other today.
"Hello, my name is Li Yanran. I graduated from Beijing University. Nice to meet you."
Perhaps because she was bored, a girl with long hair stood up and smiled at everyone present.
"Kingjo University?"
Sure enough, Li Yanran opened her mouth and broke the silence of the venue, which also shocked many people.
In comparison, Li Yanran's academic qualifications are enough to crush everyone present.
This undoubtedly made them feel pressured.
No one had thought before that this seemingly young woman could be so capable.
"Hello, Miss Li, my name is Lin Li. I graduated from Shenzhen University with a major in marketing. I am a local...nice to meet you."
Compared to the other people with unkind eyes, a young man wearing black-rimmed glasses took the initiative to stand up from the sofa and stretched out his hand to Li Yanran.
"Hello!"
Seeing someone responding, Li Yanran responded with a smile.
"I've heard of Shenzhen University, which is considered a top university in Guangdong Province. Lin Li, you majored in marketing, so the conditions are very good."
Li Yanran commented politely.
Compared with Beijing University, Shenzhen University has naturally lost much in price, but if it is placed in Guangdong Province, it can be regarded as one of the best universities.
Hearing what Li Yanran said, Lin Li immediately smiled and said, "Senior, you complimented me, but I'm even more curious. With my qualifications as a senior, even if I don't have the right major, I'm afraid there will be a lot of people vying for it when I go to foreign companies. Why did I come here?"
Xingyao Technology?”
Although Lin Li said this with a smile, everyone in the room turned their attention to Li Yanran.
