The subsequent chat with the AI went very smoothly.
This AI is installed in a small speaker, and all it needs to do is talk to the speaker—how could a normal person be unable to do this job, except for those autistic individuals who are really unable to speak?
Back in the interview room, Mao Kai and Lu Zhe sat back down in their original seats.
At this point, Mao Kai said, "Your performance has basically met our current requirements, but these are the standards for the probationary period. To tell you the truth, if you want to become a permanent employee, you need more..."
Lu Zhe's heart skipped a beat.
Is it here? Is that segment finally about to begin?
A seemingly attractive job, an extremely smooth interview, and then you're told that you need to pay a deposit to officially start working—whether they'll just swallow the deposit and run away, or use it as leverage to make you work like a slave, that depends on their mood.
Lu Zhe had heard of this kind of scam, but he had never actually witnessed it before.
But what Mao Kai said next was completely unexpected.
"Because this speech recognition project should be completed during your internship. At that time, you will be assigned a new test project, which will require you to master more knowledge, such as Python and Java."
Lu Zhe tentatively asked, "Does the company offer courses?"
If the course requires payment, and the price is not low, then it has a hint of a scam.
However, Mao Kai answered straightforwardly: "We will provide you with a few textbooks, as well as video courses and the like... Of course, they are all free. If you encounter any problems, you can ask me or other colleagues."
Lu Zhe nodded somewhat blankly: "I understand."
Mao Kai: "Any other questions?"
Lu Zhe: "No problem."
Mao Kai: "Come to work at nine o'clock tomorrow morning, is there a problem?"
Lu Zhe: "Will we have to start work at nine o'clock every day from now on?"
Mao Kai: "Oh right, I forgot to tell you about the company's clocking-in and attendance system. We work from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day, with a lunch break from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Unless there is an emergency, we will not require you to work overtime on weekends and holidays. We will not ask you to leave late when it is time to leave work, as long as you finish your work."
Lu Zhe had to admit that this attendance system was already the best-case scenario he had envisioned.
However, at this moment, Mao Kai found a thin booklet from the side and put it in front of him.
"The employee handbook explains it in more detail; you can take a look now."
Lu Zhe picked up the booklet and quickly skimmed through it. Then, he noticed more noteworthy details.
Salary is paid at the beginning of the month, before the 10th of each month; you clock in at 9 am every day, but there is a flexible working hour system, you can be half an hour late, as long as you also leave work half an hour late in the evening...
The employee handbook wasn't very long, and Lu Zhe quickly finished reading it. Then he looked up and saw Mao Kai's easygoing smile. He had a bit of the typical middle-aged man's greasiness, but to Lu Zhe, it felt quite welcoming.
Mao Kai: "Any other questions?"
Lu Zhe: "No problem, I'll start work tomorrow!"
————
He thought it would be a tough interview, but to his surprise, he signed the employment contract right away. When he returned to that upscale apartment, Lu Zhe held the contract in one hand and his phone in the other, still feeling a little dizzy.
Tang Qi opened the door for him and asked, "How did the interview go?"
Lu Zhe held up the contract in his hand and waved it.
Tang Qi took a look and couldn't help but ask, "Are jobs this easy to find?"
Lu Zhe: "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be easy... but today's case is a bit of an exception."
Tang Qi: "So, are you going to work?"
Lu Zhe: "Yes, I'm going to work tomorrow. So I thought I'd hurry up and move my things here today."
Tang Qi perked up and immediately said, "Wait a moment, I'll call the driver and have him take us."
The girl's short sentence left Lu Zhe somewhat confused.
"Why do we need a driver? We could just book a car. And why 'we'?"
Tang Qi patted her chest: "I'll go with you, we don't have anything else to do anyway. Besides, ride-hailing services are definitely not as convenient as owning your own car."
"Alright..."
Lu Zhe returned to his bedroom and put down the contract. When he came out again, he saw Tang Qi holding her phone, seemingly communicating with the driver.
He also remembered a new friend worth contacting.
Lu Zhe opened WeChat, opened his call window with Xue Xiaodie, and typed: "I found a job, and I'll probably be moving soon."
Less than ten seconds later, the other party quickly replied: 【Where are you moving to?】
Lu Zhe: [It's next to the software park in the south of the city, very close to my workplace, which is convenient.]
Miss Tang's luxury apartment is indeed next to the software park, and Ji Chunqiu Technology Company is located inside the software park. However, Lu Zhe did not mention the luxury apartment and the rich second-generation girl, not because he intended to hide it, but because he felt it was difficult to explain.
After all, what happened last night was truly bizarre.
Xue Xiaodie: [So when are you moving in?]
Lu Zhe: [Today.]
Then the other side went silent and didn't reply for a long time.
Lu Zhe had just exited WeChat and was about to look at something else when suddenly, a pop-up window appeared in WeChat.
Xue Xiaodie asked: "When are you going to pack your bags?"
Lu Zhe: [I'll be back soon, in about an hour.]
