Chapter 74 Wrong, You Are Not Wrong (Please read for three days, please! Don’t force me to kowtow to you)
“Beep, beep, beep!”
The car behind the electric scooter honked three times impatiently, bringing Song Lixin back to reality from his surprise.
The car owner rolled down the window, stuck his head out, and yelled, "Are you blind?! Can't you see the light is green? Don't block the road!"
Song Lixin quickly apologized, stepped forward, and followed the navigation on his phone to rush home.
After delivering the last takeaway order, he immediately rode his bike home, took a quick shower, tidied his appearance, changed into his long-unused formal suit, and prepared himself for battle.
Although he had never heard of the Kuiguang Group, he had heard of Shengjing Haoyuan, which is a first-class office building in the city!
Such a company can find him among the vast number of resumes and take the initiative to call and invite him for an interview...
How can we miss this once in a million opportunity?
When the TV station closed down, Song Lixin still had some hope. After all, he was a master's degree holder from a prestigious university, so he tried to apply for jobs at several other TV stations.
As a result, all TV stations, even the major ones, were laying off staff one after another. Everywhere he went, he could see several distraught people looking out the door.
Hiring people?
The entire industry is in a cold winter and is shrinking. There won’t be any extra jobs available.
Song Lixin didn't even have the chance to interview and was directly rejected.
After several setbacks, Song Lixin tried to switch to new media and change to a new track, but because he could not keep up with the pace of the times, he neither conformed to traditional aesthetics nor adapted to Internet trends, and the result was still failure.
Just like traditional literary works and online articles are both books, but in essence they are two completely different things. If you want to develop in the other direction, it is impossible without making some fundamental changes.
Dreams are dreams, but supporting a family is reality.
After being rejected many times and struggling for a month, his savings, which were not much to begin with, were all gone. As a last resort, Song Lixin could only post his resume on various online recruitment platforms, hoping to be picked by a company.
During the transition period, I could only deliver takeout to earn some living expenses.
“You must not miss this opportunity!”
Song Lixin, who changed into a formal suit and even sprayed some men's perfume on himself, stood on the sidewalk anxiously, looking at the busy road from time to time, trying to cover up his nervousness with such actions.
Two minutes later, a silver-white cheap online-hailing car arrived.
"Excuse me, are you the passenger with the phone number ending in xxxx?"
Song Lixin politely requested, "Yes. Can you please turn on the air conditioner? I have an interview and I can't sweat all over. Thank you."
"Okay." As a fellow worker, the driver was reasonable and did not make things difficult for Song Lixin. He reached out to turn on the air conditioner and closed the car window.
Ten minutes later, Song Lixin arrived downstairs at Shengjing Haoyuan and looked at the time. It was 1:30 in the afternoon.
There is still half an hour left...
Others should be taking a lunch break now, so it’s better not to disturb them.
After a day of running around, Song Lixin was hungry and quickly found an air-conditioned ramen restaurant. After eating and drinking, he calmed down and prepared himself for the upcoming interview.
"I hope the HR of Kuiguang Company is someone who is easy to get along with..."
Seeing that it was 1:50 and there were only ten minutes left before work, Song Lixin got up and left the ramen restaurant, registered at the front desk building of Shengjing Haoyuan, and took the elevator to the 24th floor.
As soon as the elevator door opened, Song Lixin was shocked by the grandeur of the company.
The entire 24th floor is the office area of the Kuiguang Group, with a spacious and bright lobby, high-end and exquisite decoration, and various leisure and entertainment areas... At a glance, except for the security guard, there are young and beautiful elite men and women.
Song Lixin felt as if he had entered another world, and the tension in his heart became even greater.
How strict must the recruitment standards be for a company like this?
It’s okay. Since the other party has seen my resume and called me, it means that I have passed the preliminary assessment.
He has even experienced the college entrance examination where thousands of people walk on a tightrope. Now it's just an interview. What difficulties can't be overcome?
He straightened his clothes, walked to the front desk, took out his ID card, and said in the most standard Mandarin, neither humble nor arrogant: "Hello, I'm Song Lixin, and I'm here for an interview today."
Lu Shuyuan looked at his information, handed the ID back, pointed her arm in a direction, and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Song. Your interview location is in the innermost office over there. There is no one else now, so you can walk in directly. I wish you good luck."
Very professional front desk...
Even the front desk is so professional, this company is not simple.
Song Lixin took back his ID card, took a deep breath and said, "Thank you!"
Following Lu Shuyuan's instructions, Song Lixin walked to the innermost office, bent his fingers and knocked on the door, and then heard a steady male voice from inside: "Come in."
I pushed open the door and walked in, only to see a young man sitting in the main seat, looking down at the computer, typing something on the keyboard from time to time.
Next to him was a young woman in a neat business suit, holding a bound notebook and a ballpoint pen, and smiling at him.
One person is responsible for the interview and the other is responsible for the scoring? Too strict!
Song Lixin exhaled slowly and sat in front of Yang Ruoqian.
"Don't be nervous, let's just chat." Yang Ruoqian signaled him not to be nervous. "I've read your resume and know that you have been working in traditional media for many years and have a lot of experience. But when you come to new media, it seems like you are not used to it?"
The moment he heard this question, Song Lixin's back was soaked with cold sweat! He actually asked such a sharp and murderous question right at the beginning?
If I don't answer this question correctly, I might be asked to leave the office on the spot.
Song Lixin suppressed his nervousness, thought for a moment, and said, "Mr. Yang, you are right. I did encounter some difficulties with new media. For example, I found that the audience of new media is very different from that of traditional media. Their preferences, habits, and needs have changed. Some of my original practices and ideas are not very applicable to new media."
As soon as this answer came out, Yang Ruoqian couldn't help but frown.
Oh no, this guy seems to have some idea of why he failed...difficult to deal with.
We have to find a way to keep him on the path of failure.
Yang Ruoqian was making his own plans, but he didn't realize that his unconscious movement was directly caught by the sharp eyes of Song Lixin.
It’s over… The interviewer frowned…
This means that I did not answer the first question well, and my answer made Mr. Yang very dissatisfied!
Song Lixin, who was already nervous, became even more nervous now.
He knew he wouldn't have many more chances to answer the questions incorrectly.
Without giving Song Lixin more time to think, Yang Ruoqian asked again: "How did you solve these difficulties? Have you made any changes or attempts?"
Even though Song Lixin speaks Mandarin well, he couldn't help but tremble in his voice: "I realized my previous mistakes... So, I started to pay attention to some big Vs, bloggers, internet celebrities, etc. in new media, and learn their styles, techniques, and methods. Recently, I also started to try to use some new media tools and platforms, such as Douyin..."
"Wrong." Before he finished speaking, Yang Ruoqian shook his head heavily.
With just one word, the light in Song Lixin's eyes disappeared.
The interview failed...
The interviewer didn't even want me to finish my sentence...
An extreme feeling of loss and disappointment surged into Song Lixin's heart.
"Mr. Yang, I'm sorry to trouble you."
Just as he was about to hold on to his weakened limbs and maintain his last bit of dignity to leave the company, he heard the young man opposite him continue to say: "You are absolutely right."
