Xia Zhichu stood in the corner listening and found it incredible.
Manager Wang is very harsh?
No, I met him yesterday. Although he seemed a bit strong, he was easy to get along with.
However, Xia Zhichu had heard about these three or five rounds of interviews. After all, Peak Group was a large company with countless people wanting to join, so the requirements were naturally high.
But she passed it in one round, which was really lucky.
The elevator quickly reached the sixth floor and Xia Zhichu walked out.
Behind him, the women's surprised voices came, "That's not right. Who is that woman? Why have I never seen her before?"
"Could it be a new employee?"
"It's possible. Let's go over and confirm it."
As soon as Xia Zhichu arrived at the entrance of the design department, a large group of people surrounded him.
"Are you new here?" someone in the crowd asked.
Xia Zhichu smiled politely at everyone and said, "I'm Xia Zhichu, a new employee in the design department. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."
As soon as she said this, all the looks on her face were like nails stuck into her.
Xia Zhichu felt very uncomfortable. It was embarrassing enough when she was stared at during her previous blind date. Now with so many people surrounding her, she felt like a monkey in a zoo being watched.
Just as he was about to find an excuse to leave, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him, "What are you all doing with nothing to do? What are you doing here?"
When everyone saw that it was Manager Lan, the female devil of the design department, they quickly dispersed.
Manager Lan came closer and glanced at Xia Zhichu coldly, "Are you new here?"
Yesterday, the recruitment department sent a message saying that a new employee was recruited for their design department.
Manager Lan felt very uncomfortable. Even if the Recruitment Department was responsible for recruiting, she, as the Design Department Manager, should at least interview the candidates in person. However, the Recruitment Department just sent people to work directly.
This made Manager Lan also believe that Xia Zhichu got in through connections, and he immediately looked at her unfavorably.
As everyone knows, the design department of Peak Group is densely populated with talents. Everyone has to rely on their own strength and pass all the tests to enter the design department.
Even she herself had to struggle for five or six years to get her current position, but the person in front of her was able to enter this field by relying on a connection.
This made Manager Lan look down on Xia Zhichu.
Xia Zhichu was a sensitive person, so he naturally saw the other person's bad intentions. However, thinking that this person was his leader, he still introduced himself politely, "Hello, Manager Lan, I'm Xia Zhichu, and I'm here to report today."
Manager Lan continued to look at her and ignored her for a long time.
After a long while, he turned around and walked away. After entering the design department, he threw a word at me.
"You're new here, right? Go find a seat first. I'll arrange for someone to take you there later."
Xia Zhichu responded with a "OK" and followed him in.
The design department is very large, and everyone has a dedicated seat, which is filled with various documents and some personal belongings.
No one has come to work yet at this time, so the entire office is basically empty.
Xia Zhichu walked around and finally found an empty seat in the corner and sat down.
It was almost half past eight when all the colleagues in the design department arrived. Because Xia Zhichu was sitting next to the printer, the huge printer obscured her figure, so no one noticed her.
This is the core department of Peak Group. Everyone here is an excellent designer. Xia Zhichu looked at everyone quietly. It seemed that they were not easy to get along with.
Xia Zhichu was already nervous on his first day at work, and the depressing atmosphere made him even more at a loss. He could only sit there stupidly, waiting for the manager to send someone to pick him up.
But after waiting for a long time, there was a sudden call for a meeting, and all the colleagues left one after another and went into a large conference room.
Xia Zhichu didn't know whether he should participate or not. He was in a dilemma and just sat there.
The meeting lasted for more than an hour.
When everyone came out, they found Xia Zhichu sitting in the corner.
However, everyone's eyes were full of contempt, and some even talked about her.
"Our design department is a strong field, so why do some people think that they can become a designer by using backdoors?"
"Yeah, I heard she has no work experience at all, so it's almost like she's just doing odd jobs for us."
"Lily, please don't say that. He's a relative of the recruitment department. If we offend them, we'll all be fired."
Every word of the sarcastic voice reached Xia Zhichu's ears.
Go through the back door?
Relatives in the recruitment department?
She clearly applied for the job on her own, how could these people say that?
Xia Zhichu was very angry, but she was a newcomer now and it was not appropriate for her to argue with her seniors.
Besides, she had finally made it to the top and didn't want to get a bad reputation because of these things.
So in the face of everyone's sarcasm, Xia Zhichu responded with a polite smile.
Amidst the discussion, Manager Lan appeared in front of everyone, clapped his hands, and said, "From now on, Xia Zhichu will be considered a colleague in our design department. Everyone should pay more attention to him on a daily basis."
"Don't worry, boss. We will take good care of Xia Zhichu." Someone responded.
Manager Lan tilted her head to look at the corner, with a hint of coldness in her eyes. She wanted to see how long the person who came in through the back door could stay.
"Well, instead of flattering me, I'd better spend more time thinking about the quarterly show. The higher-ups have already given us the task. Everyone has to come up with new works to speak for themselves, including me." After saying that, she gestured towards Xia Zhichu, "Zhichu, you have to participate in the quarterly show too. Hurry up and prepare, and let your work speak for itself."
Xia Zhichu stood up and said confidently, "Manager, I will work hard."
"Now that everything is clear, let's get to work!"
Manager Lan turned around and went back to the office.
Everyone sat back in their seats, but they were still whispering and discussing Xia Zhichu.
Someone also looked up Xia Zhichu's information, and after learning that she had been a full-time housewife at home since graduation and was divorced, they looked down on her even more.
After receiving the task, Xia Zhichu began to prepare the design draft.
But no one led her, and she didn't know what the theme of the quarterly show was. After some hesitation, she took the initiative to ask other colleagues.
The other party was indifferent and said casually, "The quarterly show is an event that Peak Group wants to put on stage. There's no need for a theme. The work speaks for itself."
Xia Zhichu said "oh". No matter how stupid she was, she could feel the hostility of her predecessors.
Knowing she couldn't get any information out of him, she searched for information online herself, learned about the quarterly show through previous events, and took notes diligently.
The busy schedule lasted until noon, and the seniors stretched their bodies and discussed what to eat for lunch.
At this time, someone turned his head and asked Xia Zhichu, "Newcomer, what are your plans for lunch?"
Xia Zhichu had just arrived and didn't understand the situation. He looked at everyone with some embarrassment, "Where are you going to eat? Can I go with you?"
People looked at me like I was stupid and sneered, "Who wants to eat out in this hot weather? Let's order takeout. But if you're willing to bring some in for us, that's fine too."
The meaning was clear: they wanted Xia Zhichu to help run errands.
