Hollow wind

Reunion

After reuniting after a long absence, Fang Yunwan still likes this building very much.

Songwen Group is one of the best comprehensive group companies in Yucheng, and Songwen Headquarters Building is one of the most iconic buildings among the tall buildings in Yucheng CBD.Tall buildings stand on the winding and beautiful coastline of Yucheng, like a sail sailing high in the wind, ready to sail at any time.

At that time, Songwen Group invited Zhou Shaoyou, a Chinese designer from WXM Architectural Design Firm, to carry out the overall design of the headquarters building.

That is a designer that Fang Yunwan likes very much. Unfortunately, he returned to life after settling in the United States for his lover, and no new works have been released for a long time.

Five years ago, Fang Yunwan originally had the opportunity to meet Zhou Shaoyou, but because of some things, he failed to do so.

When he was still in college, Fang Yunwan often came here, sitting in the cafe opposite the Songwen Building, sketching the outline of the building over and over again, imagining that the building he designed stood tall between the sky and the earth that day.

In the sun, in the rain, at dusk, in the middle of the night, he has seen it all.

After reuniting after a long absence, Fang Yunwan still likes this building very much.

On the 46th floor of the building that Fang Yunwan likes.

Xu Zhang spread the documents requiring Jiang Xiu's signature on the desk: "Mr. Jiang, this is the list of candidates who passed the interview last week and are planning to issue offers. Your signature is required."

Jiang Xiu casually flipped through the resumes in the folder, and found the last ones. He felt that the names on the resumes were a bit unfamiliar, so he asked casually, "Have I interviewed the last few people?" ? Why no impression?"

Ten minutes later, Xu Zhang re-entered Jiang Xiu's office and reported: "Mr. Jiang, I confirmed with my colleagues in the Human Resources Department that they mistakenly included some resumes of candidates who came for interviews today. This is after the adjustment. Please have a look at the materials."

Jiang Xiu nodded, took the folder and looked through it again. After confirming that it was correct, he signed the entry list approval form and asked, "Fang Yunwan's resume is also in it, so he will come to the interview today?"

A few floors away, Fang Yunwan had just finished the first round of interviews and was arranged in a small conference room to wait for the results of the interviews with the three candidates who had also completed the interviews.

Since the addition of An An, the gold-eating beast, the cost of living has been increasing day by day. After returning from Jingcheng to Yucheng for a few months, Fang Yunwan's savings quickly ran out, and he had to seriously put job hunting on the agenda.

Originally, even if he was killed, it would be impossible for him to agree to participate in the interview of Songwen Group.

The timing of the call from Kesongwen Group's HR was just in time for him to receive the fee notice from An'an Kindergarten last Thursday and stare at the bank balance in a daze.

A penny can't beat a hero, but that's all.

There were already three people sitting in the small conference room designated as a waiting area for candidates.

As soon as Fang Yunwan sat down, the candidate on the right came up to inquire about the military situation: "Hey classmate, are you a fresh graduate too? How do you feel after the interview?"

just graduated?Fang Yunwan raised his eyebrows, and looked down at his well-knit suit.He has always been small in appearance, and he works in a small company with a free atmosphere in Jingcheng. On weekdays, he wears T-shirts and jeans no matter how comfortable he is.

Putting on a suit now, he looked like a young man who had just graduated and pretended to be an adult.

He vaguely replied: "Well, I just graduated a few years ago."

Within ten years, it is always in the range of single digits, so it should not be considered a lie.

"I'm from Ningzhou University, and I majored in advertising design. What about you? Which school are you from?"

"Yucheng University."

Fang Yunwan glanced at the academic information on his resume. What he asked was not which school he graduated from. He also studied at Yucheng University, so it shouldn't be a lie.

"Wow, Yucheng University is amazing." The lively and enthusiastic classmate exclaimed in a low voice, attracting the attention of the other two candidates.He simply stopped holding back, shrugged his shoulders and said, "You guys are either graduates from Yu University or overseas returnees. Doesn't this make it clear that I'm just a cannon fodder!"

Fang Yunwan smiled and comforted him: "Don't say that, since you have passed the resume screening, everyone is on the same starting line."

"It doesn't exist!" He wailed softly, pointed to a man in a dark blue suit sitting directly opposite Fang Yunwan, with a silk square scarf delicately folded in his jacket pocket, and whispered, "Here, then Mr. Zhao, and even a participating designer of the winning works of the Blue Label Architectural Design Award."

The Blue Label Architectural Design Competition is the most well-known architectural design competition in China, held every two years.The competition will invite well-known designers at home and abroad to review multiple awards including architectural design, structural design, garden landscape stone design, and interior design.It is worth mentioning that every blue label architectural design competition will announce five "specially recommended designers". Many designers who became famous all over the world began to emerge from this award.

However, Fang Yunwan heard from HR that this time the positions open by the brand department of Songwen Group are more inclined to candidates with backgrounds in advertising design.Although the university majored in architecture, judging from the resume posted on the Internet, Fang Yunwan was mainly engaged in advertising design in the years in Jingcheng. Wen Group extended an olive branch to him.

From the perspective of professional background alone, this self-deprecating classmate is actually a good match.

Fang Yunwan answered casually: "I heard that their position is inclined to advertising design this time. I think this is quite different from architectural design. Your major is very suitable, and the opportunity is still great."

As soon as the words were finished, Mr. Zhao, who had been keeping his head down in silence, looked up and looked up at Fang Yunwan with his eyes rolling up and down in the whites of his eyes. I don’t know much about the awards. There are many factors in the selection of buildings in this competition, and the aesthetic design also takes a large proportion. I personally think that although each category of design has its own characteristics, it cannot be said that it is irrelevant.”

His haughty tone made people uncomfortable. Fang Yunwan didn't want to cause trouble, so he just smiled and nodded in agreement: "What you said is indeed reasonable."

This Mr. Zhao seems to be only in his thirties, but he is indeed the oldest person in the room, and because he has won an award, he is more likely to make some mistakes about being a good teacher. Following Fang Yunwan's words: "Go out After school, you will find that many things need to be relearned on the job, and work experience is sometimes more important than what major you studied in college. You just graduated and don’t know it yet. You will know it after working for a few years. "

Fang Yunwan nodded. This is indeed reasonable. It is the best example that I, who studies architectural design, can sit here and participate in the interview.

However, Fang Yunwan didn't intend to continue talking to Mr. Zhao, since his arrogant appearance was really unlikable.

Fortunately, at this time, HR brought in the last candidate who had completed the interview, just in time to break the awkward silence in the conference room.

Hearing the noise, Fang Yunwan turned his head to look, and was stunned.

The person who was led into the meeting room by HR met Fang Yunwan's eyes and was also stunned.

"Fang Yunwan?"

"Meng Chen?"

Fang Yunwan sighed secretly, and returned to Yucheng, where the past stories of old friends came one after another, as expected, but hard to guard against.

Back then, Fang Yunwan and Meng Chen were the group of students with the best grades in the Architecture Department of Yucheng University.Talented young people always claim to be superior and refuse to give in to each other, so during the time at school, the two secretly competed, and the relationship was not harmonious. Reunited in this way, apart from polite greetings, I didn't know what to talk about for a while. That's good.

In the conference room, there was only one chair left beside Fang Yunwan, and Meng Chen sat down beside Fang Yunwan.

The enthusiastic classmate on the other side of Fang Yunwan continued to be emotional. He poked Fang Yunwan with his arm and asked, "Do you know each other? Is this your classmate? Also from Sumida? Damn it! How did you pass the screening?"

"Yes, my undergraduate classmate. However, if I remember correctly, he should be admitted to the graduate school of this school after graduation." Because he is not very sure whether Meng Chen will choose to study in this school or go abroad for further study, he guessed casually After one sentence, Fang Yunwan still turned his head to confirm with Meng Chen himself, "Meng Chen, did you stay at Yuda to study in graduate school?"

Probably because the interview was too exhausting, Meng Chen was wandering with straight eyes, and suddenly heard his name, he looked up at Fang Yunwan in a daze: "What? What did you just say?"

"I asked, did you stay at Sumida to study in graduate school?"

Meng Chen nodded: "Well, yes, later I stayed at Yuda to study in graduate school." He looked at Fang Yunwan, hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly, "Yunwan, what about you? What have you been doing these years? Are you doing well?" ?”

"It's pretty good. I went to Jingcheng later and worked as a designer in an advertising company. I only came back half a year ago."

"Advertising company?" Meng Chen's face changed slightly, and his expression became serious for a while, "You are the youngest specially recommended designer in the Blue Label Architectural Design Competition. I thought that you would continue to walk on the road of architectural design no matter what. .”

Meng Chen's words exploded in the conference room like a thunderbolt. Not only Mr. Zhao who was opposite him looked up, but even the candidate who had been sitting next to Mr. Zhao who had been silent all this time looked at Fang Yunwan.

The enthusiastic little classmate next to him was the first to speak out what others were thinking. He stared at Fang Yunwan with wide eyes, unable to speak clearly: "You, you also won the Blue Label Award!"

Everyone's gazes came to Fang Yunwan, but Fang Yunwan only felt that the light was on his back.

"No." He took a deep breath, tried his best to maintain calm, and corrected, "I didn't get the award, but my teacher asked me to prepare materials for the selection review, but in the end I didn't get the award."

"Yun Wan..."

Meng Chen frowned slightly, as if he wanted to say something more, but after calling out Fang Yunwan's name, he seemed to suddenly remember something, and didn't say any more.

At this time, the door of the meeting room was pushed open again, and HR rescued Fang Yunwan again from an embarrassing situation.She took out five envelopes and put them in front of the five candidates according to their names: "Thank you for your time today. Inside the envelope are the results of the first round of interviews. If you pass the first round of interviews, there is also a second round Interview questions."

"Are there any test questions for the second round of interviews?"

"Yes, Mr. Jiang of our group is very concerned about the positions recruited this time. Please provide a draft design drawing according to the title. Mr. Jiang will personally select from among the three candidates who passed the first round of interviews based on your draft design. Select the final candidate."

President Jiang of the group.
