After rebirth, I became a great master

Chapter 16 The female devil

After passing two rounds in a row, Qiao Suiqing’s confidence in Zhou Haoran increased greatly.

I think he will definitely pass the business interview this afternoon!

Invite him to the cafeteria for a big meal at noon.

Zhou Haoran smiled and said, "I can pass, but I'm afraid I'll be labeled one of the 'five black categories.'"

"The five black categories?"

Qiao Suiqing's expression changed slightly.

Zhou Haoran said, "I don't have any sales experience. Even if I'm admitted as an exception, I can only be an apprentice in the sales department."

Qiao Suiqing was surprised and said, "Sales apprentice is the fifth level?"

Zhou Haoran nodded, "That's what He Jin said."

"How could this be?" Qiao Suiqing was confused. "The fifth tier is the temporary workers among temporary workers. They even have to sign in for access control every day and are not allowed to enter the staff cafeteria."

Zhou Haoran was in a good mood and joked, "It's okay, just bring me along!"

Qiao Suiqing rolled his eyes and said angrily, "You're still laughing! If you really are one of the 'five black categories', you might as well not come! You're not even as good as a cleaner!"

"Sister Suiqing, what you said is not right. Everyone is equal. I don't discriminate against cleaners." Zhou Haoran was still in the mood to seek justice for others. "We are all working people, and we all work hard with our hands."

Qiao Suiqing said angrily, "Have you ever seen the badge for the fifth-tier employee? It's black with white lettering, and looks eerie, like a deceased person's portrait. In the station, if we see anyone who falls into the 'Five Black Categories,' we avoid them for fear of bad luck."

"Ah?" Zhou Haoran was genuinely shocked. "Is it that serious?"

Qiao Suiqing suddenly remembered something. "Yes, I think I've heard of it. It's an old tradition. In the past, salespeople who worked in the market were looked down upon and considered unproductive speculators, so their status in the company was very low. That was changed a few years ago, and the status of salespeople has been raised."

After hearing this, Zhou Haoran guessed most of it.

Haigang is a metropolis and is at the forefront of reform.

In the 1980s, in order to generate income and develop, the advertising sales industry emerged in some areas with liberated ideas.

However, due to the social atmosphere at the time, although these people created huge economic value, they had no social status and walked around the streets like vagrants.

Their social evaluation is far inferior to that of the down-to-earth and simple cleaners, security guards, doormen and canteen chefs.

By the 1990s, social trends had changed, and the station had also changed to keep pace with the times.

Formal sales have been promoted to the third level, but sales apprentices are still in the fifth level.

Zhou Haoran analyzed: "As a local TV station, Red Star TV has achieved the second place in the country after Crown TV today, mainly due to the change in sales strategy."

Qiao Suiqing said angrily, "You know this again?"

Zhou Haoran said slowly, "Other TV stations still rely on the same old routine, waiting for businesses to advertise on the station. They can only wait, rely on, and ask for favors. But Red Star TV has set up a sales department and sent salespeople to proactively contact major companies and invite them to advertise. Only with money can we update equipment and produce programs."

Qiao Suiqing's eyes lit up, "Now that you put it that way, it really makes sense!"

Zhou Haoran said, "The station will definitely make further reforms and significantly improve the status of salespeople."

"Then you can't become one of the 'five black categories'!"

Qiao Suiqing's pretty face was tense.

Zhou Haoran said helplessly, "This is the only way under the current circumstances. He Jin has already contacted them for me. Even so, I still have to rely on my perfect scores in the first two rounds of interviews to be admitted as an exception."

……

Zhou Haoran doesn't care about these.

Even if they are one of the “five black categories”, so what?
He is confident that he can break the deadlock in the shortest time possible.

Just like He Jin said, as long as the sales apprentice can sign a contract independently, it proves that he can work on his own, and he can be promoted from an apprentice to a regular employee, and can move from the fifth level to the third level.

In the final analysis, sales positions rely on ability, the ability to sign deals.

However, Qiao Suiqing is not like that.

She couldn't accept Haoran joining the company as a fifth-tier employee.

What can we do?
Although she currently hosts a program and seems to be a rising star, she rarely interacts with her colleagues at work and is confined to the small circle of the "Family Gossip" program team.

Using connections to get things done is a common practice in the station.

Who else can I find?
She felt she should do something!
After much thought, the most powerful "big shot" she knew was Tang Shiyi, the producer of the "Family Gossip" program, the "female devil" that everyone in the program team feared.

Qiao Suiqing was very afraid of Teacher Tang.

On several occasions, she was scolded by Teacher Tang and cried.

But at this critical moment, the only person I can rely on is Teacher Tang.

Qiao Suiqing returned to the sixth floor.

I sat at my workstation for a long time, encouraging myself, and finally gritted my teeth and stomped my feet and went for it.

I went to the producer's office with all my heart.

Go to the door.

I was stunned.

There was a roaring sound in the office.

Tang Shiyi cursed angrily, "To edit a program like this, you have a pig's brain! Can't you tell the camera jumped? Can't you tell it's adding frames? Go back and re-edit it!"

Qiao Suiqing was frightened and quickly hid behind the door.

At this time, a male director from the same group came out with a shamefaced look on his face, and took the tape to the editing machine to rework it.

Qiao Suiqing didn't dare to breathe.

"Who was that just now?" Tang Shiyi shouted from inside, "Come in quickly! Are you waiting to be invited in?!"

Qiao Suiqing appeared at the door in a panic, his voice weak, "Teacher Tang..."

Tang Shiyi looked indifferent, "What's the matter?"

"I have a younger brother who wants to..."

Qiao Suiqing squeaked and whimpered in a very low voice.

Tang Shiyi slammed the table and said, "Louder!"

Qiao Suiqing was startled, but he ignored her and shouted, "Teacher Tang, my brother's name is Zhou Haoran, and he's interviewing in the sales department. He passed the first two rounds of HR interviews, coming in first place with 100 points in both. But he has no sales experience, so he might not make it to the sales interview this afternoon. Even if he does, he'll be categorized as one of the 'five black categories.'"

Tang Shiyi said angrily, "Qiao Suiqing, what's wrong with you these past few days? You keep making mistakes when you're on the air, and you can't even memorize the script?"

Qiao Suiqing lowered his head and said, "Teacher Tang, I haven't been in good shape these past few days. I'm sorry."

Tang Shiyi said coldly, "If you do this again, you'll be fired! The TV station is short of everything except female hosts!"

"I see."

Qiao Suiqing was distraught and left the producer's office.

Very distressed.

I just think Teacher Tang is too strict and she is too scary.

Then, she thought of Zhou Haoran again.

During the interview process, he was able to establish a very good personal relationship with He Jin from the Human Resources Department.

If he met a producer as strict as Mr. Tang, he should be able to handle it, right?

She remembered his joke: "When I get the job, I'll protect you!"

At this moment, a sense of loneliness arose in her heart.

I really hope he can come to the TV station too.
