sunny as rain

Hongyu Weaving Factory Co., Ltd. is a Sino-foreign joint venture. Its business scope includes the production and processing of napkins, towels and medical gauze.

Ye Shiyu applied for the position of business translator, who is mainly responsible for receiving business personnel from countries H and M, and promoting friendly cooperation between the two parties.

At 8 o'clock on Monday morning, the sky is vast and pure, and it looks like a sunny day.

Ye Shiyu could even imagine that the sun must hang high in the sky in the afternoon, giving people warmth.

For a whole month, interviewing, submitting resumes, and waiting for interview responses, the monotonous days seemed to have some kind of hallucination.

Having been rejected countless times, I'm already a little numb.

Finding a job is too strenuous. The company I like competes for the same position with either a master's degree or a doctor's degree.The HR manager talked about the company that he didn't like, like a pyramid scheme company.

From the moment he stepped into the gate of Hongyu Group's office, Ye Shiyu truly realized that he was independent.

When he just graduated from university, he once doubted his ignorance and stupidity, and realized how lacking and useless the knowledge he learned in school was.

The university he attended was not the best, and his graduation grades were not the best.After graduation, I spent a boring rest period and suffered repeated setbacks in interviews. Now I finally found a job that I like and I am confident that I can do it.

It seemed that he had waited too long for this moment, so that when he walked into the office, the door was slammed shut, and the people in the office instantly raised their heads and looked at him in unison.

Ye Shiyu calmly shifted his gaze to the floor, but fortunately, Sister Li, the manager of the personnel department, took the initiative to greet him.

Ye Shiyu raised his head and smiled, looking at Sister Li's neat short hair, his words seemed to be stuck in his mouth.

Sister Li, the manager of the personnel department, is a 34-year-old fat middle-aged woman with a gentle attitude. She personally went through the entry procedures for Ye Shiyu and introduced people in the office to him.

Ye Shiyu didn't have a serious job all morning, he was only busy getting to know his colleagues, getting familiar with the office environment and job responsibilities.

It was only during the lunch break at noon that Ye Shiyu took off his black suit jacket and put it on his arm, and went to the cafeteria downstairs to eat with his colleague Fang Xiaofei.

Fang Xiaofei is 26 years old this year. He graduated from university and entered the company as an intern. He and Ye Shiyu are both business translators. They have been working here for four years, so they are considered old employees.

The HR manager asked him to help bring Ye Shiyu, Fang Xiaofei readily agreed.

Fang Xiaofei introduced the internal situation of the company to Ye Shiyu while walking, and Ye Shiyu listened carefully.

The office of Hongyu Group is on the 29th floor, and the 10th floor is the public canteen area. Employees can enjoy a 8% discount on food purchases, mainly Chinese food.There are also many dining places near the office building, Fang Xiaofei asked Ye Shiyu to choose by himself.

Ye Shiyu didn't like public canteens with too many people, so he planned to eat outside. Fang Xiaofei immediately recommended a private restaurant where colleagues often go to have dinner. The dishes are diverse and delicious.

Fang Xiaofei and Ye Shiyu took the elevator all the way downstairs and walked for about 10 minutes to the 'Tomato Restaurant'.

There was no decoration at the entrance of the store, and a solid wooden plaque with uneven edges was placed vertically on the flat white wall, engraved with the five characters of "Tomato Restaurant" in bold and unrestrained fonts, as if no one was expected to understand it.

The entrance is a bare concrete staircase, and walking down the narrow staircase is the main hall. A middle-aged woman in her 40s opened the curtain, poked out half of her head, handed them a handwritten menu, and said kindly: "Look, what do you want to eat? I'm the only one in the store, and the serving speed may be a bit slow. If you mind, please change to another store."

Fang Xiaofei took the menu and handed it to Ye Shiyu. The two of them looked at the menu and ordered dry pot cauliflower, dried tea tree mushroom and soft fried tenderloin.

The proprietress turned around and went into the kitchen. Fang Xiaofei and Ye Shiyu found a place against the wall and sat down. The solid wood table was covered with a white tablecloth, clean and tidy.

Ye Shiyu liked this place very much, it was clean and not noisy.

Fang Xiaofei picked up the glass jug on the table and poured Ye Shiyu a glass of lemonade. Ye Shiyu thanked him with a smile.

Fang Xiaofei smiled and said: "How is it?

The environment is not bad. "

Ye Shiyu nodded.

Fang Xiaofei boasted: "We often come here for dinner, and the dishes made by the proprietress are absolutely amazing. By the way, especially the stewed beef brisket with tomatoes. Originally, I wanted to recommend you to eat this dish, but I just saw that you didn't know anything about it. I skipped this dish without hesitation, thinking that if you don’t eat beef, you won’t talk too much.”

Ye Shiyu smiled far-fetchedly and said, "I don't like beef brisket with tomatoes, it's not that I don't eat beef."

Fang Xiaofei responded, and said cheerfully: "By the way, how was your first day at work?"

Ye Shiyu took a sip of lemonade, poured another glass of water for Fang Xiaofei and pushed it over, said vaguely: "Fortunately, the colleagues in the office are very kind."

Fang Xiaofei hastily echoed: "Of course, there are only a few people in the office, how nice it is to be friendly."

Ye Shiyu asked curiously: "Isn't the head office of Hongyu Group here?"

Fang Xiaofei took a sip of lemonade, looked around and said, "Well, a Sino-foreign joint venture, the head office is in country M, and this is a branch."

Fang Xiaofei glanced at Ye Shiyu mysteriously, approached the table, and said in a low voice: "I heard that the company's shareholders have changed, and it filed for bankruptcy a while ago, but later the equity was transferred, and now it has become a sole proprietorship." Well, it was renamed Hongyu Group not long ago, and it wasn’t called that. However, I don’t know if it’s true or not, so please don’t say I said it.”

Ye Shiyu finally found a job he likes. He felt a sense of crisis when he first joined the job. He said absently, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about it."

After a while, all three dishes were served.

Ye Shiyu paid the bill quickly, Fang Xiaofei scratched his head in embarrassment, blushed and said: "Is there any reason for the junior to invite me to dinner?"

Ye Shiyu said sweetly: "You are my senior, it is normal to invite you to dinner, and thank you for your help at work."

Fang Xiaofei patted his chest and said bluntly: "No problem, after all, we have the same position, and we will fight side by side in the future."

Ye Shiyu narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Fang Xiaofei picked up a chopstick of cauliflower, chewed a few mouthfuls and said: "By the way, in a few days you should bring a thicker coat, and I have to take you to a factory in the suburbs. Although this job doesn't require you to go to the factory often, But if there is a request from the client, we have to adapt accordingly. But don’t worry, we are only responsible for the translation work, and the rest will be handed over to the sales staff over there. All the business staff of the company work in the factory, and it is more convenient to go to the market occasionally .”

Ye Shiyu was not very hungry, he stopped his chopsticks after taking a few mouthfuls like eating cat food, and said sincerely: "Then thank you Brother Xiaofei."

Returning to the office after dinner, Sister Li called Ye Heyu to the office alone and handed him a labor contract.

Ye Shiyu glanced at it roughly, and found that the contract was signed for a full five years, and if he breached the contract, he would have to pay a fine of up to 10 yuan.

He opened his eyes wide and scanned the contract from beginning to end in disbelief. There was nothing wrong with the other clauses, but the length of the contract and liquidated damages seemed a bit illogical.

When Ye Shiyu expressed his doubts, Sister Li looked at him in embarrassment, poured him a glass of water from a disposable paper cup with an embarrassed expression, and said vaguely: "This...you need to sign this labor contract if you work in our company. .”

Ye Shiyu didn't think about it when he heard this sentence, he picked up the black water-based pen without hesitation, signed his name, and when he looked up at Sister Li, Sister Li seemed to be relieved, and quickly took it away. The documents on the desk were put in the drawer and locked.

It seemed as if he was afraid that the file would run away with long legs.

No, it was more like he was afraid that Ye Shiyu would run away.

Feeling baffled, Ye Shiyu walked back to the desk in a daze, and Fang Xiaofei, who was at the opposite desk, immediately stood up from his seat, and the office chair on pulleys rolled far away, almost bumping into the fortune bamboo inserted in the transparent glass container behind it.

Fang Xiaofei mouthed and asked, "Why did Sister Li ask you to go to the office?"

Ye Shiyu glanced at Fang Xiaofei in a daze, and whispered, "Sign the labor contract."

Fang Xiaofei nodded understandingly: "Big companies are like this, and we also sign once a year."

Ye Shiyu opened his eyes wide in surprise, and asked: "One sign per year? Isn't it a one-time sign for five years?"

Fang Xiaofei sat back on the office chair, pushed his legs hard on the ground, shrugged back to his work station, and muttered: "We want to sign for five years? Major companies have business assessments every year, so it's easy to disagree with employees." Signed for five years, I am afraid that some employees will not work well and fish in troubled waters, which will affect the company's development."

Ye Shiyu became even more confused, and continued to ask: "Then why is the penalty for breach of contract as high as [-]?"

Fang Xiaofei stood up abruptly and raised his voice: "What did you say? One hundred thousand? Who did you listen to?"

Ye Shiyu signaled Fang Xiaofei to sit down, Fang Xiaofei instantly realized that he was too excited, covered his mouth and made a zip gesture.

Ye Shiyu felt that he had joined a fraud company, his heart was desolate, and he was extremely annoyed. If he had known, he should have called Zhu Fen and Ye Rufeng to ask about it. He was cheated just after graduating from university, and he was lying in the office a little unhappy. On the table, drooping his head dejectedly.

After a series of sighs, he straightened up suddenly, and made a cheering gesture, thinking, it’s okay, five years is five years, if you work hard, you’ll be fine, anyway, as long as you don’t take the initiative to terminate the contract, you don’t have to worry about liquidated damages.

There was an hour before get off work, and Sister Li suddenly came out of the office, clapped her hands, and shouted: "Everyone, hurry up and clean up the office, wait for the big boss to come, yes, you heard me right, the new big boss .”

Fang Xiaofei listened very carefully with his ears upright, and winked at Ye Shiyu, saying, "How about it, my information is accurate, I said that the company has changed its boss a long time ago."

Ye Shiyu returned him with a gesture of 'you are amazing', and the employees stood in a row to welcome the legendary new boss.

The door of the boss's office was open, and Ye Shiyu glanced in curiously. The decoration style is simple and elegant, the desks and chairs are all black, even the blinds are black, and the carpet and reception sofa are pure white. This new boss is not very old, but he has good taste. Ye Shiyu instinctively felt that he would like this new boss very much.

Headed by Sister Li, the employees stood in several rows to welcome the new boss.

Ye Shiyu hid behind the crowd, lowered his head and sent Zhu Fen and Ye Rufeng a WeChat message, telling them about the work status of the first day.

Ye Rufeng sent a photo of Jin Dagang after gaining weight in the small group, Ye Shiyu covered his mouth and laughed, not noticing that other people's eyes were fixed on him.

Ye Rufeng sent another WeChat message: [Jin Dagang is so fat now, does he look good? 】

Ye Shiyu quickly typed two words with his fingers: [It looks good. 】

Ye Rufeng: 【Miss it? 】

Ye Shiyu didn't see King Kong for a while, so he replied without hesitation: [Think. 】

He couldn't help muttering softly: "Think".

"Then do you miss me?"

Ye Shiyu was just about to say "think", but suddenly realized something was wrong, raised his head and stared at the person in front of him, his lips trembled twice, but he couldn't utter a word.

as if never left
