Chapter 21: The Interview (Part 2)

  In the school cafeteria, he bought a few buns to fill his stomach, and then Yang Yawei went back to the dormitory with his computer bag to install the biological modification device. Only after that did he come out of the dormitory. Those guys in the dormitory would absolutely not wake up until lunchtime.

  After coming out, I looked at the time and it was already 8 o'clock. From school to Xingmeng Jewelry Store, although taking the subway doesn't require a transfer, the distance is not close either. It's estimated that it will take more than half an hour or 40 minutes, so Yang Yawei directly left the school gate and walked towards the direction of the subway station.

  It's okay to be near S University, after all, there are several universities and middle schools here, and the usual attire doesn't feel out of place. But in Lujiazui, Yang Yawei truly feels that his outfit is shabby. This area can be considered the hub of top companies in the entire city of S, with the tallest buildings in the future all located here. Moreover, as the largest corporate group in S City, if your company's market value is several billion, but you don't have a storefront here, then it's really embarrassing to come and mix around here.

  Xing Meng Jewelry Co., Ltd. has a headquarters with only 10 floors, but in this golden land on the Huangpu River, such a large area is enough to cover 10 floors, which can be understood that Xing Meng is indeed a wealthy and powerful company. As a well-known jewelry mogul in China, Yang Yiwei doesn't know how much assets Xing Meng has, because Xing Meng is not a listed company. However, it's said that Xing Meng is just a subsidiary, and the parent company above must have an even higher market value.

  The entire company's appearance can be described with one word, and it also fits the business category of Xing Meng, that is, luxurious! Or in simpler terms, rich and extravagant. When I arrived at the entrance, I asked the security guard how to get to the HR department, maybe we'll be colleagues soon. After asking, Yang Yiwei entered Xing Meng and took the employee elevator on the side to the 7th floor. The 7th floor is where several departments of the company are located, and the 10th floor seems to be where the company's CEO and other high-level executives work.

  The HR department was easy to find, as soon as Yang Yawei came out of the elevator, he saw the sign of the HR department, and there were already seven or eight people waiting in the corridor. It seemed that Yang Yawei was not the only one who came for an interview after all. As soon as Yang Yawei came out of the elevator, a beautiful woman in uniform, about 25 or 26 years old, walked over with a stack of files in her arms, with a professional smile on her face, and asked: "Excuse me, are you here for an interview?"

  "Yes, I'm Yang Yawei, just received the notice this morning." Yang Yawei nodded hastily.

  The beautiful woman immediately bowed her head and searched through the documents in her hand, then took out a file folder and handed it to Yang Yiwei, saying: "This is your information, inside there are some questions that the department manager will ask you later, you can take a look. There is also an introduction to the position you applied for, if you have any opinions, you can bring them up later. Your personal resume is also in it, take a look and see if there are any errors. You're really rushing, your resume was received at the last minute of our registration deadline."

  Yang Yiwei slightly sweated, he thought of it yesterday and directly started searching online, who knew that yesterday was the deadline? However, their efficiency is quite high, I estimate that the HR department also went to work very early this morning, otherwise they wouldn't have printed out their own resume.

  Yang Yawei took over the folder from the other party and opened it to take a look. It was quite different from what he had imagined, with a lot of information about the job position, including many rigid requirements. This was mainly because Star Dream's main business was jewelry, and security work was crucial. From the introduction materials inside, it could be seen that Star Dream attached great importance to safety work. Except for Yang Yawei's intended network security department, all the other external security guards were retired soldiers.

  There is a number 10 on the folder, it seems that Yang Yawei is the 10th candidate for this position. However, there are obviously more than 10 people in the corridor, and other departments may also be recruiting.

  The people in front looked like they had some connection to network security from their attire, while the others didn't seem to have any relation at all. However, since they were able to get an interview, they should also have some connection to it. If someone with only a high school education submitted a resume, the HR department wouldn't let them come in for an interview.

  9 o'clock arrived quickly, and the first person also entered the office for an interview. This was Yang Yawei's first formal job interview, so he was a bit nervous in his heart. However, as the number of people in front decreased, Yang Yawei became less tense, anyway, he just wanted to get through it, even if he couldn't get the job, Yang Yawei didn't mind.

  Soon, someone called out Yang Yawei's name. Yang Yawei immediately stood up from his seat and followed the person into an office room. As he entered, Yang Yawei also noticed a piece of paper on the door with "Network Security Department Interview" written on it.

  The interview room I saw on TV and in reality didn't have much difference, there were only two people sitting behind the table, one of whom was probably just responsible for taking notes, which means that the person conducting the interview was alone, he looked about the same age as Yang Yawei, but from his mature temperament and careful dressing, he should be over thirty years old.

  "Hello."

  "Hello. My name is Hu Bing, Hu as in tiger, Bing as in soldier, I'm the department manager of the security department. I've also reviewed your resume, you're a student at S University?" After exchanging greetings, the department manager who called himself Hu Bing thoughtfully raised his head and looked at Yang Yiwei.

  "Yes." Yang Yawei nodded, this was written on his resume anyway, and Yang Yawei wasn't afraid of being investigated.

  "As a student of S University's computer science department, which is ranked at least top five in the country, although you haven't graduated yet, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to get into some international high-tech companies as a programmer after graduation. So why are you here applying?" Hu Bing put down Yang Yiwei's resume and asked with a smile.

  "What's most important now is not what I can do, but what can be done for me. I still have a year to graduate and if I want to stay in this city, I need to start doing something first. It's always hard to get started, but doing something is better than nothing, and besides, I don't dare guarantee that I'll be able to directly apply for those famous companies as a programmer after graduation." Yang Yiwei replied very honestly, which was also his true thoughts.

  Hu Bing looked at Yang Yiwei with some surprise, then nodded and said: "That's a very good point of view. So, can I understand that you won't stay in the security position in our company for too long? Probably no more than a year?"

  This question is a bit difficult to answer, although many companies won't ask it, but I'm afraid no company would want the person they hire to be someone who frequently job-hops. Yang Yawei furrowed his brow slightly, and after a long time, he finally looked up and said: "Except for some uncles in their thirties or forties, I'm afraid no one will consider this profession as a long-term career development."
