After Song Mai followed the young girl to familiarize herself with the sixteenth floor, Ji Fenghe arranged a workstation for her and then had someone bring her some departmental materials to familiarize her with.
"You're new here and not familiar with things yet, so don't rush into work. Take a look at these materials first to familiarize yourself with them."
"good."
After saying this, Ji Fenghe turned and left. Song Mai watched his back and wondered if it was just her imagination, but she felt that Ji Fenghe's gaze was a little strange and his attitude was a little cold.
However, Song Mai immediately thought that perhaps she was overthinking it.
After all, she came to work, not to make friends. People have no reason or obligation to be enthusiastic towards her. She can't expect everyone to treat her the same way just because Manager Qiao is very enthusiastic towards her.
She just needs to familiarize herself with the company's business as soon as possible and do her job well. Why think so much?
Thinking this, Song Mai put her things down and sat down at her workstation, burying herself in the pile of documents.
Yunxing Group and Xunyi are different. Yunxing Group's translation department is mainly responsible for the translation work of the group's internal business, which is much more focused and professional. Xunyi, on the other hand, is a translation company. Its daily work mainly involves taking on translation work for various companies. It does not have a main translation direction and may encounter all kinds of content, so it is more diverse.
Song Mai spent the entire morning looking at the thick stack of documents piled on her desk, and only stopped when everyone went to the cafeteria for lunch.
She rubbed her sore eyes and looked down to rummage through her bag for eye drops.
"Hi, would you like to go out for dinner together?"
A soft, gentle voice sounded above her head. She looked up, clutching her eye drops, and realized it was the young girl who had shown her around the department that morning.
The girl had a baby face, looked very well-behaved, and was somewhat timid, like a recent graduate, very young and innocent.
Although Song Mai wasn't a professional, she wasn't particularly outstanding either. Upon hearing the invitation, she smiled sincerely.
"OK."
She took out her employee card, which she had just obtained from the personnel department that morning, and followed the girl to the cafeteria on the third floor.
Through their conversations along the way, Song Mai learned that the girl's name was Su He, a recent graduate from Nandu University. She had received an offer from Yunxing Group during the campus recruitment and joined the company immediately after graduation. She had only been working there for three months and had just been promoted to a permanent position.
When she arrived, everyone in the translation department already had their own regular meal partners. She was also quite introverted, and after eating with others a few times, she found that she couldn't really join in their conversations. In fact, people couldn't talk about whatever they wanted because of her presence.
She herself felt uncomfortable. Lunchtime should be a break time, but being forced to join others for lunch made her feel like she was sitting on pins and needles. Sometimes she even had to rack her brains to find topics to talk about so that the conversation wouldn't be awkward.
So, after that, she made up an excuse to eat at different times than others, waiting until everyone else had left before going to eat with them. After doing this several times, others stopped inviting her to eat with them.
She was happy to be at ease, since Yunxing's restaurant was a buffet and they would replenish the food as soon as it ran out, so she didn't have to worry about running out of food even if she went late.
But today, after everyone else had left, she noticed that Song Mai hadn't left yet. Thinking that Song Mai was also alone, Su He mustered up her courage and came over to ask her.
When Song Mai heard her name, her eyes lit up as if she had discovered something extraordinary.
"Your name is Su He?"
The girl nodded, not understanding what was going on.
Song Mai smiled very happily:
"What a coincidence! My name is Song Mai, and yours is rice seedling and mine is wheat. Our names are so destined to be together."
Su He smiled and nodded: "Yes, I felt an instant connection with you the moment I saw you. This may be a divine arrangement."
Upon entering the restaurant, Song Mai witnessed firsthand what a large corporation's restaurant was like.
The restaurant is divided into two parts: one is Chinese cuisine and the other is Western cuisine. The Chinese cuisine includes the eight major cuisines, and it is prepared by authentic seven-star chefs. The dishes are served by robots, which can fully satisfy everyone's taste.
It's fair to say that even when dining at upscale restaurants outside, the food's color, aroma, and taste might not be as good as Yunxing's employee cafeteria.
She and Su He chose a window seat, overlooking Sangbo Lake in the heart of Nandu, a breathtakingly beautiful sight.
Just as Song Mai was about to get up to get her food, Su He stopped her and pointed to a screen on the corner of the table, saying:
"You can order food here."
Song Mai looked at the four corners of the table, each displaying a screen showing a dynamic image of simulated lake water. It was as if the water of Sangbo Lake outside the window was flowing onto the tabletop, complementing the scenery outside the window perfectly.
She took a few more glances before realizing it was a display screen.
How do we order?
She asked, somewhat puzzled.
Su He smiled gently, bent her index finger, and tapped the screen next to her three times with the knuckle of her index finger. Sure enough, the animated image of the lake disappeared, and the screen turned into a smart ordering panel. She selected a few items and then confirmed. Immediately, the screen displayed the message "Please swipe your employee card".
Su He placed her employee card on the display screen, and with a "beep," the screen completed the payment and reminded Su He that the meal would be delivered in about three minutes.
This series of actions left Song Mai dumbfounded.
Am I getting old? Has the world really developed like this?
Su He kindly explained:
"Of course not. It's just that Yunxing is a technology company, and this kind of facility is something that Yunxing can easily make. This thing was designed by Yunxing for its own company's restaurant. It's not mass-produced, so you definitely won't see it in other companies."
Everyone loves this design. It avoids the problems of overcrowding and noise in restaurants during peak hours. Not only do people have to queue to get their food, but the constant flow of people can also affect food hygiene. This design is excellent; you order your food, and the robot delivers it – it's efficient and convenient. Plus, when not in use, the smart ordering machine is just a decorative panel; it looks nice and is energy-efficient, using very little electricity per day.
As Song Mai listened to what she said, she felt even more that she used to live a miserable life, squeezing into crowds to get food at mealtimes.
Moreover, she used to think it was already very good when she was getting food at Xunyi, since some companies don't even have employee cafeterias and have to bring their own food.
Compared to Yunxing now, it's like comparing heaven and earth.
Song Mai imitated Su He's earlier gesture and tapped the screen three times with her knuckles.
