Time flies by to the end of October. After continuous autumn rain, New York finally ushered in early winter. The weather forecast said that light snow may fall in the next few days.

Gina Lauren stepped out of the taxi and let out a deep breath, took off her scarf and stuffed it into her commute bag. She arranged her clothes again and again in front of the glass door, then secretly encouraged herself and walked into the office building with her head held high.

She graduated in May this year and started working just in time for the financial crisis. The internship opportunity she finally applied for ended early before she could become a full-time employee. After several twists and turns in the past few days, she got this internal recommendation opportunity through alumni resources, so she couldn't help but wait for it seriously.

I heard that the boss is an Asian, a young talent. Her knowledge of Asia is limited to Hongkong, Tokyo and Beijing. Which nationality is the boss from? She doesn’t want to work in Neon Enterprises. According to the feedback from alumni, that’s not a good idea.

torture.

Yuan, a strange name.

While Lauren was thinking wildly, she was guided by a middle-aged white woman to sit outside the interview room. At this time, there were already about a dozen interviewers waiting, with the ratio of men and women evenly divided.

The men are obviously older, around thirty years old and above; the women are the same as her, and they look like they are fresh graduates this year.

There should be two positions. Lauren couldn't help but look at this 300-square-meter office with mediocre decoration. The more she looked at it, the more helpless she felt.

A year ago, no elite would come to a small workshop like this for an interview, not to mention the boss was Asian.

Nowadays, not only do she have to take the initiative to get an interview, the competition is also fierce. She just accidentally saw that the girl sitting next to her graduated from Cornell, Ivy League.

"I'm very sorry that the interview for the analyst position is over. Everyone has been waiting for a long time." The middle-aged white woman clapped her hands to attract everyone's attention: "Thank you for your recognition of meta. The company will reimburse you for the round-trip commuting expenses and 200 dollars per person for afternoon tea.

…”

"What? I'm sorry, did I hear wrongly? I drove here from Long Island at six in the morning and sat here waiting for two hours. Is it just for 200 dollars?!" A middle-aged man with an elegant temperament wearing gold-rimmed glasses

The young man interrupted the woman, feeling a little agitated.

The middle-aged woman replied expressionlessly: "It's a pity, we already have a suitable candidate."

"I have been working in Morgan Venture Capital for more than ten years. I have many ideas and resources..."

"Sir, calm down, I respect you very much." The middle-aged woman took a deep breath and said softly: "I am also a former employee of Morgan, so please maintain the dignity you deserve."

"He should interview me, at least talk to me for a few minutes..." The elegant middle-aged man muttered to himself and turned around in despair.

Gina Lauren watched this scene that could be called a farce in front of her and her heart became even more stressed. Before she could feel the sadness of the rabbit dying and the fox dying, the middle-aged woman once again opened her mouth to call several young women for interviews.

Group face!

Gina Lauren pursed her lips.

Li Zhiyi looked up at the five interviewers who had walked in. He looked down at the long list of English names on the resume on the table, and his head hurt a little.

"Please sit down and let me know whose name I'm going to read next, Gina Lauren, Allison..."

In addition to ID and driver's license, the United States rarely requires photos, especially resumes, because this would be suspected of appearance discrimination. Appearance should not be a factor in admission or rejection. It is exactly like the voice of China, so he has to recognize each one.

After reviewing his resume, Li Zhiyi turned to Xu Jing, who sensibly picked up the A4 paper and gave it to the interviewers: "Fold the paper three times to make a simple name tag, write your name in the middle, the school you graduated from on the left, and the most recent internship on the right

company."

Gina Lauren looked at the two Asian faces in front of her and couldn't tell which one was the boss. She was even more confused when she heard the request.

Making a simple name tag out of paper is a small test of your hands-on ability. Don’t think it’s mentally retarded. The hands-on ability of fresh graduates is always a mystery, and their ability to adapt to changes is also quite fascinating.

No one would believe that the children from the University of Political Science and Law could not fold the paper three times. It is also frustrating for the elites of Tsinghua University to worry about whether they should cross out or use another piece of paper if they made a mistake.

Some people must say that just because you can't fold paper well, you can be considered to have poor hands-on ability. This is a matter of opinion.

There is a variety show in China that has made many people aware of the legal industry’s involvement in the industry. In fact, the legal industry and the financial industry are not even close brothers in terms of involvement in the industry.

The term "restoration of diplomatic relations between Qingbei and Qing Dynasty" originally came from the financial industry. There is a second half of this sentence. There is no finance under the restoration of diplomatic relations between Qing and Northern China. In recent years, the two finances, one trade and the National People's Congress can be added.

Every year, graduates from Wuyangyang come for interviews. I only need two. You are from Qingbei and you are not in the top 20 of QS (prestigious school rankings). Everyone has the same basic background, so just choose the best among the best.

I don't have time to study whether you have practical ability. I just need to know that you didn't meet the requirements during the interview. Luck is also a part of ability.

Those who write in their resumes that they have been the president of the university student union, organized club activities, etc. are even more offensive; instead of writing about how they are in school, it is better to write that they worked in a milk tea shop during the summer to make pearls to make people like them.

Well, I don’t like soaking pearls either. Li Zhiyi likes to drink lime oolong tea.

After waiting for two minutes, Li Zhiyi recovered his thoughts and confirmed to Alison, who finished first: "You all know that the interview is for a financial position, right?"

After the company registration process was completed, he recruited the required employees. A financial officer and a legal officer, together with him and Xu Jing, formed the company's framework.

Now it is said that I am recruiting for finance, but in fact I am just a handyman assistant who buys coffee and books flights, otherwise I would not be looking for fresh graduates.

"Yes, I understand."

Alison from Cornell responded with a confident smile and a slight nod. This girl is very beautiful and hardworking. She wore a black silk professional skirt in the ten-degree weather.

Li Zhiyi was like a monk who had been washing dishes in the Shaolin Temple for eight years and was not moved by the beauty at all. He asked with a straight face: "OK, first question, I need you to help me book my morning flight at two o'clock in the morning. Will you?

How?"

"I will book a flight and buy a cup of coffee, but I need to know what flavor you like to drink." Alison looked like she was going to kill everyone, and the four little girls next to her had different reactions.

"I think American style with ice is good for refreshing." Li Zhiyi smiled.

Alison responded quickly: "Then I will also prepare two pieces of cheesecake, if you like."

"Gina Lauren, what would you do."

Xu Jing didn't give Alison a chance to continue to show off. The catfish effect caused by this girl was enough. He himself was a ruthless person who cut his way out of the crowd, so he knew the appropriateness.

"I'll book a flight and buy coffee and cheesecake!"

Gina Lauren was suddenly named and subconsciously recited it loudly. After speaking, the office fell silent for a moment, and several competitors looked at her strangely.

"But it's not my job...I want to know why I'm doing this..." Gina Lauren added in a low voice.

"It's a very good question. There is no answer to this question. If you don't want to do it, you can leave now." Capitalist Li Zhiyi showed his face, and the stress test began.

Gina Lauren didn't know how to respond, so Li Zhiyi secretly gave the girl a cross and moved on to the next one.

After the completely different performances of the first two competitors, the subsequent three were quite satisfactory without any surprises.

Then I asked some questions about leaderless group discussions, work planning, career goals, when to get married and have children, etc. The interview ended.

"Alison?" Xu Jing asked, closing the door.

Li Zhiyi yawned: "It's a bit pretty, can you figure it out?"

The financial industry likes to recruit beauties, but it doesn't like to recruit beauties. This is very contradictory because beauties are restless.

"This is something you should consider. I'm an analyst, not a secretary." Xu Jing expressed dissatisfaction.

During this period, he was doing all the work of a secretary, and he only did industry research as part of his analytical work.

"Don't worry, the official work will start soon. Besides, the leader intends to train you, so you have to shoulder the burden." Li Zhiyi looked like a rogue.

"If you believe it, you will be evil."

Li Zhiyi stood up and stretched: "I will go to San Francisco on a business trip next week and tell Matthew and Qiao Silin to take care of their home."

"So you don't plan to come to the company again this week?"

"I have to make up my homework and ask for leave. I'm very busy." Li Zhiyi said and walked out of the room.

During this period of time, he had a great time. He finally got the company's processes on track and then spent some time solving trivial matters before heading towards his first investment goal.

"Alison?" Xu Jing confirmed.

"Tell her not to wear stockings when the weather is cold, as it will make it difficult for her to get pregnant in the future."

"Sexual harassment."
