Section 7, sheer luck.
I can tolerate your disheveled appearance, and I can also understand that you are under a lot of pressure and may not remember the names of the company's products. However, seeing you crouch down yesterday to pick up the materials for me, unlike others who ignore the difficulties of others, regardless of your intentions, I still want to give you a chance
Cough, cough, Ye Feng cleared his throat twice and walked in with a smile, "Hello, General Manager Xu!"
Xu Shuting's gaze shifted from the monitor to Ye Feng's face, revealing an expression of profound despair. "May I ask, Mr. Ye, what time did we agree to meet?"
After searching for a long time, I found that there were no extra stools. In the distance, there is a sofa, which could be sat on, but he has not yet developed the audacity to sit there!
"Where is it?" Ye Feng sighed. After the other party provided the address, Ye Feng hung up the phone. He spent half an hour just contemplating whether to go or not. However, upon reconsideration, he thought that with less money, the work would surely be easier. With this thought, he felt at ease. He tidied up his attire; when in a good mood, his movements became swift. He dusted off his leather shoes, which had not been polished for a month, and only then did he leave the house. After a loud 'bang', he suddenly realized he had forgotten to bring his phone.
After stretching lazily, he sat up and thought for a long time before finally jumping out of bed. Yes, he continued to search for a security position that he liked. Yesterday, upon seeing Xu Shuting's gaze, which was calm yet unremarkable, he felt it was completely different from Fang Zhujun's passionate yet suggestive look. Ye Feng had already understood from the book that if Fang Zhujun was hiring, he might have a chance to be selected. However, if it were Xu Shuting, it would be better for him to make other plans early on. Moreover, he was not satisfied with the sales position, spending all day making phone calls to chat with clients. A versatile NPC was just as annoying as a loquacious Tang Seng, which was enough to irritate him. Did he really have to take the initiative to seek out Tang Seng?
This action is executed with such natural skill and ease that it seems effortless; if a professional locksmith were to witness it, they would likely be left speechless and would have to concede defeat
"Ye Feng, is that you?" The chubby man exclaimed with delight, grabbing Ye Feng. "Are you working as a pioneer or a pathfinder? I just got off the plane and have been searching for you everywhere; it has been quite a struggle!"
Hello, please find Mr. Ye Fengye. The voice on the other end of the phone was sweet, steady, and dignified, clearly belonging to a receptionist rather than a hostess
"Sir, this is the contact number for our delivery service. If you need anything, you can call this number." The delivery boy smiled warmly, demonstrating a level of dedication far surpassing that of Ye Feng. Even while working, he did not forget to promote the small shop. Ye Feng did not decline; instead, he took a look at it, tucked it into his pocket, and thought to himself that the young man was quite good. He planned to visit the shop at noon to show his support.
Ye Feng sighed, feeling increasingly lazy and less inclined to deal with matters lately. He wondered if he had contracted some sort of affluenza akin to that of a U.S. president, perhaps even the symptoms of Parkinson's disease manifesting in himself. After all, the person in question was a president, while he considered himself a mere good-for-nothing. This affliction seemed to be just and equitable, showing no distinction between the rich and the poor. In his self-pity, he took out a mobile phone recharge card that he had just purchased yesterday. With just a swipe, he had already unlocked the door.
Ye Feng's peripheral vision glanced at the quartz clock on the wall, "It seems to be a little past eleven."
He pushed the door open, picked up his phone, and saw the keys on the table as well. He took them together and then left, locking the door behind him. He still had a bit of conscience; it was one thing to lose his own belongings, but it was a sin to involve Fang Zhuyun in losing her computer. However, he also knew that this type of lock was ineffective against thieves; he could open seven locks in a minute.
Ye Feng nearly lowered his head to his feet, but finally raised it and said, "I sincerely apologize for disappointing your kindness"
"It is not just past eleven o'clock, but rather eleven forty-five," Xu Shuting said coldly. "You have kept me waiting for a full hour and fifteen minutes"
Traffic jam. Ye Feng found an excuse and felt somewhat ashamed
"Yesterday, you submitted some materials to our company. We reviewed them carefully and decided to invite you for an interview. I wonder if you have some time available?" said the voice on the other end of the phone, calm and unhurried.
In the early morning, Ye Feng opened his eyes and discovered that it was still early, as the sun had not yet shone into the room. Upon checking his phone, he was surprised to find that it was already 9:00 AM, and only then did he remember that this house faced west
"Who are you?" Ye Feng pushed up his glasses and couldn't help but sigh, lamenting the significant decline in his memory. He was so familiar with this person, yet he had no impression of him at all.
"What time is it now?" Xu Shuting asked coldly
Ye Feng, feeling embarrassed, walked to the door and accidentally bumped into a chubby man entering. He hurriedly said, "I am sorry"
"Ten thirty," Ye Feng replied
This is Pioneer Electronics Co., Ltd. The receptionist spoke softly, yet her words exploded in Ye Feng's ear like a bomb, leading him to wonder if his status had indeed declined recently, to the point where only a company offering a monthly salary of 500 yuan would find him worthy
Grandma, you look so listless, did your attempts to flirt with girls leave you unable to get out of bed?! The chubby man ignored Xu Shuting's pale face, "I don't even know you. Half a month ago, you called me and mentioned some drying equipment. Where is it? Show it to me. I came here personally to take care of some matters, to donate something to the Hope Primary School, anything will do. A three million order is yours, and you still won't invite me to the most luxurious massage parlor here for a good time!"
However, what is most important for a salesperson is punctuality. I asked the front desk to call you at 9:10, and we agreed to meet at 10:30. That is one hour and twenty minutes, during which you could have traveled from the east of City S to the west. Yet, you were still an hour and fifteen minutes late, and you didn't even make a phone call. Do I really want my salespeople to go out and tell clients, 'I'm sorry, please wait another hour for me; I'm still on my way'?
However, he still finished the steamed buns and drank the soy milk, and only then did he prepare to make the call as instructed by Fang Zhujun. With this kind of attitude, others would most likely think he was the one conducting the recruitment rather than applying for the position.
In Ye Feng's memory, he had never known that he possessed this skill, yet it seemed as if he had learned it without a teacher. Despite his seemingly lazy demeanor, he was always able to effortlessly solve difficult problems when they arose. Could this be what is meant by genius? Ye Feng thought to himself with a hint of self-mockery
I am, may I ask who you are? Ye Feng was somewhat puzzled, could it be from the insurance company yesterday?
By the time he found Pioneer Electronics Co., Ltd., he was already dizzy and it was noon. He entered the elevator with a delivery person carrying lunch boxes. Watching the person carry two lunch boxes, he couldn't help but swallow and his stomach began to growl.
On the desk lies a sheet of white paper, two buns, and a cup of soy milk. The paper reads, "Ye Feng, remember to have breakfast. The breakfast on the table is reserved for you. Don't forget to take the keys when you go out. I checked a few companies online for you yesterday; you can give them a call and see."
In fact, he is not anxious at all. A monthly salary of 8,000 is hard to find, while a monthly salary of 800 is still up to him to choose. He has never felt that a position with a salary of 8,000 is significantly better than one with 800. Perhaps this is what Fang Zhujun refers to as lacking ambition. Just as he picked up his phone, it rang on its own. Ye Feng glanced at it; it was an unfamiliar number. To him, any number, including - Tu - Shu, is essentially unfamiliar. How long has this situation lasted? A year, or two? Ye Feng frowned slightly, shook his head, and stopped thinking about it.
At the bottom of the paper, several units were densely written, detailing the job positions, specific requirements, and contact information. It was very thorough. Only then did Ye Feng understand that when he couldn't sleep last night and got up, he saw that Fang Zhuyun's room still had lights on, and she was completely focused in front of her computer. It turned out she was looking for a job for herself, which moved him somewhat
This time, fortunately, he did not get off at the wrong floor. As the elevator doors opened, Ye Feng glanced around like a thief. After searching for a while, he finally spotted a sign for Pioneer Electronics Co., Ltd. hanging at the end of the corridor. The company was not large, only a little over 100 square meters, and he could see the entire layout of the company at a glance. It took him two looks to find Xu Shuting, who was focused on the computer screen, typing on the keyboard, most likely not playing games.
Ye Feng lowered his head, feeling that he was truly like a wall of dung, an incapable person who could not be supported.
After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out. Xu Shuting sighed, placed the application materials on the table, and her expression inevitably showed some disappointment. This Ye Feng lacked eloquence and had no magnanimity; when others spoke a word, he wouldn't even respond with half a sentence. How could he possibly be a salesperson like this
He gently pushed open the door, fearing to disturb the beautiful dreams of the two ladies. Once he stepped out, Ye Feng realized it was unnecessary; apart from him, a jobless drifter, everyone else had work. At this hour, 9 o'clock, of course, they had all gone to their jobs.
