The leisurely life of a reborn dad

These thoughts flashed through Cao Shujie's mind, and his mind returned to the right path, thinking about how to go next.

Rationally speaking, Xuemeng Food Factory, orchards, farms, parks, etc. all provide Cao Shujie with a steady stream of cash flow.

In addition, the annual cash dividends from Yaxu Electronics Factory are not small.

Cao Shujie does have the ability to do research independently.

Therefore, in the past few days, Cao Shujie began to look up his notes and review them again.

...

At the second factory, recruitment is in full swing.

There are too many people coming, and Wang Zhifeng personally supervises for fear of problems on the spot, but he will also interview talents for some special positions.

The heads of various departments set up interviews one by one.

There is a friend in the crowd who lost his job last year, named Ye Shanliang.

He is 37 years old this year.

He used to work in graphic design, and he also worked as the company's design director, and he also has rich experience in the industry.

According to common sense, it would not be too difficult for a talent like him to find a job, but the fact is not so.

When Ye Shanliang really joined the army of job seekers, he had a lot of skills, but he was stuck at the "age" barrier. Most companies do not recruit people over 35 years old.

Even if you are very capable, it won't work.

Ye Shanliang did not give up. At first, he thought that there were only one or two companies like this, but he interviewed more than 20 companies later. When more and more companies rejected him on the grounds of "inappropriate age", Ye Shanliang was confused.

He was only 37 years old, when he was the most experienced and professionally skilled, why couldn't he do it?

Ye Shanliang really couldn't figure out this problem. Since it was difficult to find a job in the city, he planned to go to the county town and look for opportunities in small companies.

On this day, he heard that Xuemeng Food Factory was recruiting a large number of people, and Ye Shanliang got on the bus to Qingshi Town with a nervous mood.

He thought about looking for opportunities there.

Moreover, the scale of Xuemeng Food Factory is not small, maybe they don't care about age.

He thought so, but he was also very nervous.

He took a bus to Qingshi Town and found out that the recruitment location was at the second factory. Ye Shanliang hurried to the second factory.

After he came, he saw hundreds of people queuing up at the factory gate to go into the factory. At this time, Ye Shanliang became nervous again.

So many people were interviewed together, and I didn’t know how many people Xuemeng Food Factory would recruit?

Even if only dozens of people were recruited in the end, according to the scale of the application in front of him, it would be a ratio of dozens to one.

The little hope that had risen in his heart suddenly became dim again.

At his age, he has no advantage in finding a job. Doesn’t Xuemeng Food Factory know to find young people?

Although he thought so, people have already come. If he doesn’t try, Ye Shanliang will not be willing.

He lined up in the queue and walked slowly with the crowd. The waiting time felt very slow.

In order to find a job, Ye Shanliang is not limited to design work now, as long as he can get a job.

For more than half a year, Ye Shanliang had no stable income. He could only earn some money by doing small jobs occasionally for old customers he had accumulated in the past, but this could not change his life. He had a hard time and felt bored at home.

Finally, it was Ye Shanliang's turn. He stepped forward and saw a middle-aged man with a little white hair sitting in front of him. He walked up and handed him his resume that he had prepared in advance.

"Sit down and introduce yourself." Luo Changjin looked at Ye Shanliang and said.

Ye Shanliang breathed a sigh of relief. The other party did not refuse him outright when he saw his youth, which ignited a little hope in Ye Shanliang's heart.

"My name is Ye Shanliang. I came from Dongzhang District, Yiling City. I am currently unemployed at home. This time I want to try to apply for a job in our company."

"I used to be mainly engaged in graphic design, and I have more than 8 years of work experience..."

As soon as he said this, Luo Changjin raised his hand to interrupt Ye Shanliang's self-introduction. He said in an apologetic tone: "I'm so sorry, I just noticed that you used to be a graphic designer, and you have been doing it for 8 years."

Ye Shanliang nodded subconsciously. There was nothing to deny this. He was afraid that Luo Changjin would drive him away because of "incompatibility of work experience". His relaxed mood began to become nervous again.

When he was thinking about how to explain to increase the possibility of the other party staying, he heard the other party say: "Mr. Ye, I have a suggestion, you can refer to it."

"Please speak!" Ye Shanliang was like a person waiting to be sentenced. In fact, he had no hope for Luo Changjin's "suggestions". He always felt that the other party saw his "age" again, but just found an excuse to send him away.

"Big factory, huh!" Ye Shanliang was even thinking about how to mock him, and then he heard Luo Changjin's words: "Our factory is recruiting designers this time. If Mr. Ye really has 8 years of experience in graphic design, I think you may be able to do the job there."

"8 years of design experience, it would be a pity to throw it away like this." Luo Changjin said softly.

Ye Shanliang's eyes widened. He didn't expect that Luo Changjin was not going to chase him away, but really introduced him to a place.

"You are recruiting for design jobs?" Ye Shanliang said subconsciously: "I didn't see it in the recruitment brochure when I came here."

"Really? I heard him talk about it when I came here with our Human Resources Manager Wang this morning." Luo Changjin looked at the expression on the other person's face, and he could understand some of the other person's thoughts.

Then he said: "I'll find someone to take you to see Manager Wang first. If it's not suitable there, you can come here for an interview as a quality inspector, but you have to be mentally prepared. The salary of a quality inspector is not as high as your previous salary."

This made Ye Shanliang realize that the other party might not be trying to evade him, but really considered him.

He suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Thank you!" Ye Shanliang said gratefully when he followed the people Luo Changjin called over to find the Human Resources Manager.

Luo Changjin smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was not a big deal for him.

When Ye Shanliang met Wang Zhifeng, the manager of the human resources department, Wang Zhifeng was interviewing and recruiting talents for some special positions, including design specialists.

Mainly designing the company's product appearance, packaging, product promotion, etc.

The workload is not small, but the corresponding salary is also high.

After the people who applied for special positions in front finished their work, when it was Ye Shanliang's turn, Wang Zhifeng smiled and took Ye Shanliang's resume. He stretched out his hand to signal Ye Shanliang to sit down.

"Mr. Ye, please introduce yourself."

Ye Shanliang repeated what he had just said to Luo Changjin. After he finished speaking, Wang Zhifeng asked him directly: "Mr. Ye, I don't know if I should ask you a question?"

"Please go ahead!" Ye Shanliang said.

Wang Zhifeng was curious: "I looked at your resume. You quit your last job in October last year. Your resume was blank from October last year before the interview at our factory. Have you never looked for a job again? Or did you start your own business?"

Ye Shanliang's eyes dimmed and his tone was a little depressed when he heard this question: "Manager Wang, to be honest, I have been looking for a job during this period, but unfortunately, they all think that I am over 35 years old and may not be qualified for the job due to my age."

Hearing this reason, Wang Zhifeng laughed, which made Ye Shanliang feel a little uneasy. When he couldn't figure out what Wang Zhifeng meant, he heard Wang Zhifeng say: "So that's the case, I thought so."

"Aren't you worried that our company also has age requirements?" Wang Zhifeng was very curious.

But Ye Shanliang did not respond to this question directly. He said, "I have two children at home. My parents cannot help take care of the children for special reasons, so my wife has been taking care of the children at home full-time."

Speaking of this, Ye Shanliang looked at Wang Zhifeng in front of him: "Whether your company has an age limit or not, I will come and try it."

"Two children, Mr. Ye is under a lot of pressure." Wang Zhifeng seemed to be chatting. He asked Ye Shanliang if he could design a graphic according to his requirements now.

"Manager Wang, please tell me your requirements!" When Ye Shanliang talked about his professional field, he changed his whole person.

Take out a pen and paper to make notes first, and prepare to design it with a laptop later.

Wang Zhifeng is specifically recruiting talents for some special positions. There are not many applicants. If there are other people applying after Ye Shanliang, he is also patient.

After waiting for Ye Shanliang to design a simple advertisement according to his requirements, Wang Zhifeng extended his hand to him: "Mr. Ye, congratulations on meeting our requirements."

"But according to our company's entry requirements, you need to take another physical examination. If the physical examination is fine, the human resources department will have someone in charge of this area to notify you to go through the corresponding entry procedures."

"Thank you, thank you!" Ye Shanliang was too excited.

Wang Zhifeng smiled: "It's okay. By the way, Mr. Ye's home is in the city. Do you need to apply for a dormitory in the company? Our company's dormitory is open to the public free of charge. It has air conditioning, heating, and Wifi network."

"Mr. Ye is applying for a design specialist. According to the relevant regulations of our company, he can apply for a single room. However, there are many people living in our factory now. The new dormitory building will take another 3 months to move in. If Mr. Ye lives in the dormitory, he will have to squeeze with others for the time being."

"In fact, the accommodation conditions in the factory are quite good."

Ye Shanliang could no longer hear what Wang Zhifeng was saying. He only had one thought: "I was admitted? I was really admitted!"

He couldn't believe it himself.

When Wang Zhifeng called him again, Ye Shanliang finally came back to his senses. He said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I was a little too excited."

"I understand, Mr. Ye, our company needs talents. We don't look at age. As long as you are really capable, we want you." This is what Wang Zhifeng said to Ye Shanliang.

Then, Wang Zhifeng arranged for someone to tell Ye Shanliang about the precautions for the physical examination, including which hospital to go to for the physical examination, etc.

Holding the physical examination notice given to him by the other party, when he came out of Xuemeng Food Factory, Ye Shanliang looked back at the company that was still busy receiving applicants. There were also security guards from the factory distributing bottled mineral water to the waiting people. He even received a bottle when he left.

He was full of emotion, but he didn't know how to say it.

Ye Shanliang, who was going to take a bus to return to the city, called his wife while waiting for the bus and told her that he had successfully interviewed Xuemeng Food Factory.

"Wife, let me tell you, the salary given by this company is so high. I calculated that I can get about 10,000 yuan after deducting the insurance, really..."

After losing his job, Ye Shanliang was depressed for more than half a year. At this moment, he had too much to say, and he couldn't wait to share the news with his wife.

…

Today, there are many unemployed young people like Ye Shanliang who come for interviews. They are also very nervous. It is difficult to find a job at their age, and it is even more difficult to find a good job. When they don’t know where to find a job to support their family, they didn’t expect that some of them were accepted by Xuemeng Food Factory.

And the salary offered by this company is not low.

Of course, some older young people were not accepted, but that was just because their personal abilities or areas of expertise did not meet the company’s requirements.

For this situation, Xuemeng Food Factory can’t help.

After all, Xuemeng Food Factory is a factory that wants to make money, not charity.

The next interview work is still going on. Those who got the "physical examination notice" left happily. Like Ye Shanliang, they can apply for employment as long as they pass the physical examination.

They think that with their own health, this is not a problem.

After a few days of concentrated interviews, Wang Zhifeng handed over a list of qualified personnel after the physical examination to Cao Shujie. After Cao Shujie signed and approved, these people can start work.

This group includes Ye Shanliang, who started to wait anxiously after the interview.

During the days of waiting, Ye Shanliang was afraid that his physical examination would fail, so he started to exercise again after going to the hospital for the physical examination.

Every afternoon, he went to the community to run outside, forcing himself to run 5 kilometers a day, thinking that if he failed the physical examination this time, if he was given another chance to re-examine, his exercise would come in handy.

However, after receiving a call from the human resources department of Xuemeng Food Factory asking him to go through the entry procedures, Ye Shanliang was so excited that he almost cried.

Since he was forced to lose his job last year, he has been out of work for more than half a year. This period of time is really a torment for him.

I can't remember who said this.

"When you are eager to succeed, but you have experienced a trough, or you are in a trough, grit your teeth and stick to it, and do everything you can to get through it, you will find that there is another smooth road waiting for you, come on."

Before, Ye Shanliang could not feel this feeling, but he really felt it during the six months of unemployment.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Shanliang understood everything. (End of this chapter)
