Food Bureau

The people on both sides of Zhou Xian couldn't sit still, they got up one after another, but Zhou Xian didn't move, Pei Sihan gestured to everyone to leave him alone, and he took a seat on the far side.

Zhou Xian glanced at him and didn't say anything. Jiang Xiaohui had already walked to the front of the table and bowed decently.

"Oh, don't be so polite, please sit down." Zhou Xian said.

Nancy stepped forward and gave Pei Sihan a dozen documents, which every interviewer had. Pei Sihan winked at her to express his gratitude.

I think he is a bit frivolous. The young girl doesn't know whether she can resist such behavior. When she looked at Nancy again, she blushed.With a wink, Pei Sihan sat firmly in the Playboy position in my heart.

The room is very big, and I can only capture some of the words on the other side, and I can’t hear them all. I probably know that No. 1 is introducing himself. Major, how old are you, what do you say to me?Run a restaurant?I subconsciously looked at the door, wondering if Shang Wan would come, whether she had greeted these judges, whether she could avoid some problems...

These 10 minutes were too difficult, until I saw Jiang Xiaohui stand up and turn around, sticking out his tongue, my scalp began to tingle.

"No. 2, come and go." Zhou Xian called my name.

I stood up and walked forward. Five people in front of me stared at me, and a group of people behind me glared at me. There were wolves in front and tigers in back.

I walked to the long table without bowing, "Hello, teachers, I'm Lianlian."

I call them teachers, and I think it is the most appropriate. "Leader" and "boss" seem too greasy, and it is too deliberate to call them one by one. Anyway, they are teachers when they come to practice.

Zhou Xian gestured to me to sit down, and everyone was looking at my resume for a while.

"Excuse me, you once studied architectural design at the School of Architecture of Rice University in the United States. Tell me what you think the internship at Shanggu will bring to your future."

oh!Don't you need to introduce yourself?Very good!

"Shanggu Group is the leader in China's design industry. It is an enterprise created and developed by us Chinese. It can develop to today's scale and has such a strong competitiveness in the international market. It is a must for every student who comes to Shanggu to study. dream……"

As soon as I said this, the five examiners in front of me all looked behind me, and almost at the same time, everyone stood up, including Zhou Xian.

My heart skipped a beat, and I looked back, and it was indeed Shang Wan who walked in. The audience fell silent for a while, and everyone was looking at her.

"Why did you alarm Mr. Shang? Did you come in person?" Pei Sihan was a little puzzled.

"You go on, I just passed by, come in and take a look." Shang Wan said, everyone sat down, she sat down on the other side, and the next two people, she and Pei Sihan, sat on both sides.

I looked at her and saw that she was wearing a light brown suit today, her long hair was down, and one side was clipped behind her ear, thinking that she came in time, as if someone had tipped her off, no matter how late I'm done with the interview in a few minutes.

"You continue to come and go." Zhou Xian said to me.

"Oh, what I said just now is the overall attraction of Shanggu to every applicant. Personally, it is most important for me to learn design concepts and techniques, but as a student majoring in architectural design, I know that Shanggu I am also exploring the field of architectural design, which complements interior design, so I hope that I can witness the development of Shanggu in this field, and I also hope that my profession can contribute to it.”

"Wait," Pei Sihan frowned, holding my materials in his hand, "You are Rice who enrolled ten years ago? You left after two years?"

"...Yes." What should come still came.

"May I ask, why did you terminate your studies? Does your experience these years have anything to do with this industry? It says on your resume...running a restaurant?"

Both Shang Wan and Zhou Xian frowned, I felt a sense of self-loathing, it felt like I had made a huge mistake, and now I was caught out, my crimes were spoken out loud, my My scalp is numb.

"Because my family can't afford the tuition anymore."

"This...then haven't you been in this business for these years?" Pei Sihan continued to ask.

"Boss Pei," Zhou Xian took over the conversation, "Our personnel department has considered the resume of the relationship, and thinks it is a pity to drop out of school due to objective conditions. You are the design director. Please take a look at her works eight years ago. I believe you There is a decision."

"Oh, Mr. Zhou, I didn't question your intention to finalize the candidate, but I just saw this resume at a glance and felt a little puzzled."

"Of course, of course, I understand very well, the experience of coming and going is indeed a bit special."

Pei Sihan lowered his head to look at my design work, Zhou Xian subconsciously turned his face to glance at Shang Wan, Shang Wan didn't look at her, but frowned.

"Excuse me, if you are admitted, have you ever thought about which department you want to work in?" A designer next to Zhou Xian asked me.

"Oh, I am most interested in the first business department. The specific department depends on where I am most needed. I believe that I can learn a lot there."

"The first business department is hotel design, why are you interested in this field?" The designer continued to ask.

I know Shang Wan is looking at me, but I dare not look at her.

"Because... Shanggu started out in hotel design, and I have always paid homage to your company's achievements in this field."

After finishing speaking, she couldn't help but glance at Shang Wan, a smile crossed her face.

"So, come and go," Pei Sihan looked up from my design work, "Your work eight years ago is quite interesting, and I probably understand why Mr. Zhou gave you this interview opportunity, but I still want to know more , what is your future career plan? After the internship period, how do you apply this internship experience to your future career? To be honest, our internship opportunities are very tight, so I hope this internship can be a good choice for candidates Help with career planning.”

I feel like my face has turned pale. What career plans can I have?In the past eight years, my obsession is to go back to Rice, and I have never been embarrassed to say this.

There was a silence at the scene, I felt myself getting smaller and smaller, retracting a baby, retracting an embryo...

"Your current job is...restaurant owner, we will worry that this internship opportunity will be wasted for you."

My face turned from white to burning, and it burned into a ball of fire. I suddenly didn't know why I came here, why I was sitting here, accepting the humiliation of a stranger. I seemed to have left this body. I watched myself escape from this "interrogation room", rush down the stairs, and rush to hide in my [-]-square-meter bureau...

A gentle but firm voice suddenly came from my ear: "Mr. Pei, everyone, what is our internal creed at Shanggu?"

Everyone paused, Zhou Xian said proficiently: "Design is a mental habit, not a profession."

My eyes were able to focus recently, and I looked at Shang Wan, the owner of the voice just now, she was looking at me gently.

"Mr. Pei," my voice was a little hoarse at first, I cleared my throat, "You are right, my current occupation is a restaurant operator, I am a cook, but when my life turned around eight years ago , When I had to temporarily leave the school and profession I love, one of the most important people in my life once told me that chefs and architects are both constructing, except that the latter is constructing steel and concrete, and the former is constructing Construct people's taste buds, and build the balance between people and nature through ingredients. I understand that my "farewell" has been a long time, but I have never given up. You just asked me if I was admitted, this internship will have a great impact on my career. What role does planning play? Of course it does, and it is the most important role. It will provide me with a strong experience support for my latest application for Rice in the future, and it will also help me update my knowledge of the industry. It is very important for me. , may be more meaningful than a student at school."

Having said so much in one breath, I was shocked.

I saw Zhou Xian nodding, saw the smile on Shang Wan's face, saw Pei Sihan frowned, then opened it again, and raised his hand to brush his hair.

"Oh thank you, I appreciate your sincerity and passion."

Passion?I almost laughed myself out, this is the first time anyone has used such a word to describe me.

"Okay, it's almost time," Zhou Xian said, "Do you have any questions?"

Everyone looked at each other and shook their heads.

"Thank you for coming, please go to the waiting area and wait for the next session."

In this way, I sat back on the green conch shell, but my whole person was like Tom who was squeezed into various shapes in "Tom and Jerry", long, flat, square, vibrating with the sound waves... …I can’t tell whether it’s shame, annoyance, shame, or happiness. Yes, happiness. Shang Wan’s words to help me save the scene are like a ray of light, splitting all my chaos and haze, and it also made me feel a little happiness.

I occasionally look up at Shang Wan behind the long desk in the interview area. She doesn't look at me, but just listens attentively to the interview. Is she here for me?Or did you just drop by to take a look?Maybe I was being too sentimental, but she really dropped by to listen.

When the 4th was over, she also stood up and said goodbye to everyone. I quickly lowered my head and heard the sound of her high-heeled shoes coming this way. I looked at the ground and saw the pair of pale gold high-heeled shoes walking towards me. , All the muscles in my body tensed up, they didn't stop, or slowed down a little, then walked away from me and walked out the door.

Pei Sihan did not persist until the end, he left around ten o'clock, and after eleven o'clock, the interview was finally over.

Zhou Xian stopped for a moment when he passed me, and patted me on the shoulder, "Good performance." She said.

I almost bowed to her, "Thank you Mr. Zhou!"

When I walked out of this meeting room and took out my mobile phone from my bag, I saw a message from Shang Wan:

—Come up after the interview.

I was a little excited again. To be honest, I really wanted to meet her in private at this time, at least to thank her.
