The leisurely life of the reborn daddy

Bluebird Design Studio, a group of new people came for interview today.

It is called a design studio, but it is actually a formal design company with more than 200 employees in all departments.

HR is interviewing the new applicant who came to apply for the job today.

Various AI tools released in recent years can replace manual labor to perform tasks such as article writing and pattern design. Even operating vehicles such as taxis and trucks have gradually been replaced with unmanned vehicles.

However, although AI is very intelligent and can write long articles, draw pictures according to requirements, and even convert text into video, it is not a human after all and has a very obvious flaw.

The articles or pictures it produces are just articles and pictures, without the emotions that people gave to them when painting or writing the articles.

It is also because of this that in this era of AI, major companies have a higher demand for "talent", and design companies are particularly demanding on personal abilities.

It requires some talented people with good enough understanding of design.

The general ones won’t work.

Among the people who came for the interview today, there are many recent graduates from various art academies. It can be said that there are some people with connections who are just filling in the numbers, but they are very rare.

Cao Xuemeng was also among this group of interviewees. After graduating from high school, she was admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts based on her own interests and personal abilities. She just graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts this month.

Did not continue further studies.

She didn't want to go back to her family's company to work now, so she didn't tell her parents this time. She happily decided to find a job that matched her major in Beijing first.

Cao Xuemeng has investigated and found that the Blue Bird Design Institute is good in all aspects and has strong strength. It has also received design orders from many large companies.

One of his clients is Xiaomi Group, the most famous company in Beijing.

There are many well-known companies further away, but they have nothing to do with Cao Xuemeng.

While waiting for the interview, Cao Xuemeng was also missing home.

According to her parents' request, they wanted her to return home as soon as possible after graduation and start working in their own company.

First, familiarize yourself with the company's business from the bottom up, and when you are familiar enough and the opportunity is right, then take up important jobs.

But Cao Xuemeng felt that she had been in school for 20 years, and at least she was admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts with her intelligence and interests. Was she really that bad?
Why should she go back to work at her family's company right after graduation?

She thought she would try her best first.

While she was daydreaming, Cao Xuemeng didn't hear anyone calling her name.

"Cao Xuemeng, is Cao Xuemeng here?"

"Cao Xuemeng?"

"Who's Cao Xuemeng? It's your turn for the interview."

HR staff member Xu Chunlei shouted.

Cao Xuemeng finally came to her senses. She gathered her thoughts, quickly stood up and said, "I am Cao Xuemeng."

Xu Chunlei looked at her. Her short hair made her look particularly cool. She was not short and was very pretty. She wondered if she was just a vase.
Doesn’t their company need vases?
"Come with me. My manager and the design manager will interview you later. Don't be distracted anymore." Xu Chunlei reminded her. She was not a bad person.

Cao Xuemeng thanked her and then asked her, "Sister, I want to ask you something."

"You say." Xu Chunlei is a recruitment specialist at Bluebird Design Institute, responsible for the preliminary work of recruitment.

Just as she was wondering what questions this newly graduated girl would ask, she heard her ask, "Sister, what is the salary for the position I applied for?"

"Salary?" Xu Chunlei really didn't expect her to ask this.

"Do you have any work experience?" she asked.

Cao Xuemeng said: "I have drawn designs for my family. Does that count?"

"My dad also said that my drawings are really beautiful and can increase the sales of our products by 13 percentage points."

"..."

Xu Chunlei is too tired to complain, what is going on?

She also didn't think that Cao Xuemeng's family ran a business. If that were true, would Cao Xuemeng still come to their place for an interview?

So what she said just now was just made up?

"Young people nowadays are becoming more and more impetuous. They will do anything to find a good job. Can't they be more down-to-earth and work hard?" Xu Chunlei thought.

When they arrived at the door of the interview room, Xu Chunlei did not say how much the position would pay, but instead motioned for Cao Xuemeng to hurry in.

"Hey, sister, you haven't told me about your salary yet?" Cao Xuemeng called her.

Unfortunately, Xu Chunlei had already notified the next person and had no time to deal with her.

Cao Xuemeng was helpless. After entering, she found three people in the room, two men and one woman.

The interviewer sat behind a long table with a black swivel chair in front of it.

Cao Xuemeng also glanced inside the room. There were no paper balls on the floor, nor were there garbage shovels and brooms scattered around. It seemed that there was no so-called "job application strategy" in the book.

"Hello, interviewers." She greeted.

The three people smiled and nodded, and the only female interviewer motioned for her to sit down.

"Your name is Cao Xuemeng, right?" The three people had Cao Xuemeng's resume in their hands, which stated that she graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and that her works had won certain awards. Other than that, her work experience was blank.

It's understandable, after all, he's a fresh graduate.

"Three interviewers, my name is Cao Xuemeng." Cao Xuemeng was neither humble nor arrogant, and was calm and composed.

To her, these were all small matters.

"Cao Xuemeng, can you give a brief description of your personal abilities?" the male interviewer in the middle asked her.

Cao Xuemeng nodded and selectively told her story. She also took out color prints of some of her works and showed them to the three interviewers.

After she finished speaking, the three people were actually quite satisfied with her.

After all, their academic qualifications are there, and they speak very convincingly. As recruiters and heads of design departments in design companies, they naturally have a basic judgment on these things.

"So what do you think about salary, benefits, etc.?" the female interviewer asked her.

When talking about this matter, Cao Xuemeng has a lot to say.

"I just got here and haven't shown my abilities in any aspect. You won't give me too high an income. How about 20,000 yuan a month? My parents have been strictly controlling my pocket money recently, and no matter how low my salary is, it won't be enough for me to spend." Cao Xuemeng said realistically.

Three interviewers: “…”

They were all speechless, and the next moment, they looked at Cao Xuemeng seriously to make sure she was not joking.

A monthly salary of 2030 yuan is definitely a high income even today in .

How can this young lady who just graduated from CAFA have the confidence to say this?
Your parents are withholding your pocket money because your salary is too low and it’s not enough for you to spend?

The three interviewers' good impression of Cao Xuemeng was instantly gone. But Cao Xuemeng saw through their expressions and immediately understood what was going on. She said, "Fifteen thousand is not a bad idea. I'll spend it sparingly. Besides, I'm really capable. My teacher at CAFA can attest to that."

Hearing Cao Xuemeng say this, the female interviewer patiently asked her: "Student Cao Xuemeng, who is your teacher?"

Cao Xuemeng mentioned a name, and this person is indeed a very famous person.

For the sake of Teacher Cao Xuemeng, the three interviewers re-evaluated her and said, "Go back and wait for the news."

"Thank you!" Cao Xuemeng took her information and left.

Cao Xuemeng first returned to the house her parents bought for her in Beijing. Seeing that she had to pay property fees, water, electricity, gas fees, as well as her own phone bills, internet fees, membership fees and other miscellaneous expenses, and thinking about her parents holding her bank card and credit card, she felt a little depressed.

Her parents are so cruel. They used all kinds of despicable tricks to force her to go back. Aren’t they afraid of retribution?
Fortunately, the house was in her name and they couldn't sell it privately, otherwise Cao Xuemeng would suspect that her parents would have more despicable means.

However, her house is located in a high-end residential area, the house is larger and the property fees are higher.

When she went for the interview, she told the interviewer that her salary was too low to cover her expenses, and it was true!

After deducting these miscellaneous expenses, even if the salary is 15,000, I dare not spend the remaining money carelessly, because I will spend too much if I am not careful.

After all, these days there is a charge for using AI, and the prices are divided into different levels based on the AI’s intelligence level and the scope of information collected. It’s so expensive, how can you use it for free?

She was already thinking about continuing the interview tomorrow and also thinking about "beautifying" her resume.

You evil parents, why are you blocking my pocket money? A lot of the money in the card is earned by myself, and you are blocking it too.

In the end, she had no choice but to ask her sister Xinyi for money.

"The banks are also in cahoots with each other, how despicable!"

Cao Xuemeng clenched his fists and cursed through his teeth.

……

Fortunately, three days later, Cao Xuemeng received a notice from Bluebird Design Institute to go to a designated hospital for a physical examination. If there were no problems, she could come to work.

This time everything went smoothly. Cao Xuemeng entered the design department of Bluebird Design Institute and got the job opportunity she wanted.

However, when new employees first arrive, they cannot start work directly. They need various trainings, and they need to be mentored by their senior colleagues and be taken out to interact with society.

What the hell is going on.

Just one week later, Cao Xuemeng got fed up. She felt that this was a waste of time and life. The key point was that eating out was too expensive and she had very little money.

Besides, she applied for the design department, not the business negotiation department. Why should she be asked to discuss business? That’s nonsense!
But since the department leader had made such an arrangement, she thought about it and decided to just endure it and wait until she got her salary.

Fortunately, the first two weeks passed and Cao Xuemeng began to engage in formal design business and started to work overtime and rush the work day and night.

According to the regulations of Blue Bird Design Institute, if a good work is selected by a customer and the company completes the order, the designer will also receive a portion of the order commission.

Once you get a big order, the commission will be very considerable.

Cao Xuemeng still had some ideas in her mind.

She is very short of money now and will soon be reduced to the point of having to borrow money to get by. She is looking forward to the end of this week because next week will be the next month and she will get her salary.

Moreover, Bluebird Design Institute pays the previous month’s salary on the 3rd of every month, which is a very good thing and something Cao Xuemeng values ​​very much.

The daughter of a billionaire has fallen to this point.

How embarrassed she is!
This is also the fundamental reason why she doesn't want to contact Sister Xinyi and borrow money from her. Cao Xuemeng feels that her life is too shameful.

As Cao Xuemeng worked overtime to earn her salary, a month passed quietly. In her first month at work, Cao Xuemeng worked three full weeks, which she felt was not bad, as she had earned three-quarters of the basic salary.

……
-
During the time when Cao Xuemeng was working hard to earn money, Cao Shujie, the village party secretary of Caojiazhuang, was playing with his two-year-old daughter at his home.

After sowing seeds so hard for so many years, the old tree finally blossomed and produced a precious fruit.

The key point is that the eldest son has graduated from college and the second son is in high school, so he doesn't need to show up at the company. His wife is pregnant at this time and gave birth to a little girl, which makes Cao Shujie very happy.

I spend most of the month at home playing with the little girl.

This little girl is smart, funny, and smarter than her sister.

Cao Shujie was so afraid of dropping her if he held her in his arms, and afraid of her melting if he held her in his mouth. Even Cheng Xiaolin said in a sour tone that he only had eyes for his daughter and nothing else.

"Good boy, you are jealous of your own daughter. You are really amazing." Cao Shujie said about his wife.

By the time Cheng Xiaolin reacted and was about to kick him, Cao Shujie had already run out of the house with his little girl in his arms.

Although he is already 47 years old this year, he is still quite agile due to long-term exercise.

Cao Shujie just ran out of the house, holding a parasol and taking his daughter outside.

His parents and parents-in-law set up a stall together, but his parents now only sell bread, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law now only sell eight-treasure porridge.

The four elderly people who are almost 70 years old are not in as good physical condition as they were when they were young. Now they have accepted their old age and just want to find something to do to pass the time.

It's always better to have something to do than to sit idle.

Seeing their little granddaughter (granddaughter-in-law) coming over, the four old people had no room for anything else in their eyes. They didn't care about the stalls anymore and told tourists to take whatever they wanted and pay for it as they saw fit.

Looking at her little granddaughter, Wang Yuelan thought of her oldest granddaughter Mengmeng and asked her son, "Shujie, didn't you ask how Mengmeng is doing now?"

"Mom, she just graduated, what can happen? She will come back after a while if she can't stand being outside." Cao Shujie said.

Mengmeng has lived a life of no shortage of money since she was a child. Although she is not extravagant in spending money, some consumption habits are difficult to change once they are formed.

Especially when it comes to downgrading your own consumption, it is quite difficult to deal with.

Wang Yuelan sighed, "Oh, Mengmeng hasn't been back for several months. I wonder if she can eat enough now? Has she lost weight again?"

Cao Shujie curled his lips: "Mom, don't worry about her, she's fine."

Cao Shujie wanted to laugh when he recalled the message his daughter sent him, saying that he had maliciously withheld her pocket money.

"Nuannuan, your sister has no money and is about to get angry. When she comes back, go to her and act coquettishly to ask for money." Cao Shujie said to his little daughter.

When the little guy heard what his father said, he kept shouting, "Sister, sister!"

"Dad, where is my sister?" she asked.

Cao Shujie said: "Your sister is in the capital."

……

For Cao Xuemeng at Bluebird Design Institute, this month has been really difficult. She has been eating instant noodles for several days and finally waited for the day when her salary would be paid.

May all the gods and Buddhas bless you, I will post more today.

Unfortunately, after deducting insurance and personal tax last month, she found that her newly opened payroll card only had 7944.3 yuan in it.

"Oh my god, how can this little money be enough for me to spend? There won't be much left after paying the property management fee." Cao Xuemeng was going crazy when she thought about waiting for a month and still not having much money. (End of this chapter)
