The leisurely life of a reborn dad

Bluebird Design Studio, a group of new people came for an interview today.

Although it is called a design studio, it is actually a formal design company, with more than 200 employees in all departments.

HR is interviewing new people who came for the job today.

Various AI tools released in the past few years can replace manual labor to carry out work such as article writing and pattern design. Even taxis, trucks and other operating vehicles have gradually been replaced by unmanned driving.

However, although AI intelligence is very strong, it can write long articles, draw pictures according to requirements, and even convert text into video, but it is not a person after all, and has a very obvious defect.

The articles or pictures it makes are just articles and pictures, without the emotions that people give it when painting or writing articles.

It is precisely because of this that in this era of AI prevalence, major companies have a higher demand for "talents", and design companies have a particularly prominent demand for personal abilities.

It needs some talents who are good enough in understanding design.

Ordinary people are not good enough.

Among the people who came for the interview today, there are many fresh graduates from major art academies. It cannot be said that there are no relatives who are just filling in the numbers, but they are very few.

Cao Xuemeng was also in this interview team. After graduating from high school, she relied on her hobbies and personal strength to be admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts. She just graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts this month.

She did not continue her studies.

She did not want to go back to her family's company to work. This time, she did not tell her parents and happily decided to find a job in Beijing that matched her major.

Cao Xuemeng had investigated and found that this Bluebird Design Institute was good in all aspects and very strong. It also received design orders from many large companies.

For example, the most famous Xiaomi Group in Beijing is its client.

There are many more well-known companies, but they have nothing to do with Cao Xuemeng.

While waiting for the interview, Cao Xuemeng was also missing home.

According to her parents' request, they wanted her to go back as soon as possible after graduation and work in their own company.

First, get familiar with the company's business from the bottom, and then take up important jobs when she is familiar with it and the opportunity is right.

But Cao Xuemeng felt that she had been in school for 20 years, and at least she was admitted to the Central Academy of Fine Arts with her IQ and hobbies. Is it really bad?

Why should she go back to work for her family's company right after graduation?

She thought she would work hard first.

While she was thinking about it, Cao Xuemeng didn't hear anyone calling her name.

"Cao Xuemeng, is Cao Xuemeng here?"

"Cao Xuemeng?"

"Who's Cao Xuemeng? It's your turn for the interview."

HR staff member Xu Chunlei shouted.

Cao Xuemeng came back to her senses, collected her thoughts, stood up quickly and said, "I'm Cao Xuemeng."

Xu Chunlei looked at her, her short hair made her look particularly cool, she was not short, and she was also very beautiful, thinking that she was not a vase, right?

Their company doesn't need a vase?

"Come with me, my manager and the design department manager will interview you later, don't be distracted anymore." Xu Chunlei reminded her, her heart is not bad.

Cao Xuemeng thanked her, and then asked her: "Sister, I want to ask something."

"You say." Xu Chunlei is a recruitment specialist at Bluebird Design Institute, specializing in the preliminary work of recruitment.

Just as she was thinking about what questions this young girl who had just graduated would ask, she heard her ask, "Sister, what is the salary for the position I applied for?"

"Salary?" Xu Chunlei really didn't expect her to ask this.

"Do you have work experience?" she asked.

Cao Xuemeng said, "I have drawn designs for my family. Does that count?"

"My dad also said that my drawings are really beautiful and can increase the sales of our products by 13 percentage points."

"..."

Xu Chunlei was too tired to complain. What the hell is going on?

She didn't think Cao Xuemeng's family was running a business. If that was the case, would Cao Xuemeng still come to their interview?

So what she said just now was made up?

"Young people nowadays are getting more and more impetuous. They will do anything to find a good job. Can't they be more down-to-earth and work hard?" Xu Chunlei thought.

When she arrived at the door of the interview room, Xu Chunlei didn't say how much the position would pay, but motioned Cao Xuemeng to hurry in.

"Hey, sister, you haven't told me the salary yet?" Cao Xuemeng called her.

Unfortunately, Xu Chunlei had already notified the next person and had no time to deal with her.

Cao Xuemeng had no choice but to enter the room and found that there were three people in the room, two men and one woman.

The interviewer sat behind a long table with a black swivel chair in front of the table.

Cao Xuemeng also glanced at the room. There were no paper balls on the floor, nor were there garbage shovels and brooms scattered around. It seemed that there was no so-called "application strategy" in the book.

"Hello, interviewers." She greeted.

The three people smiled and nodded, and the only female interviewer motioned her to sit down.

"Your name is Cao Xuemeng, right?" The three people had Cao Xuemeng's resume in their hands. It said that she graduated from the Central Academy of Fine Arts and what awards her works had won. Apart from that, her work experience was blank.

It was understandable, after all, she was a new graduate.

"Three interviewers, I am Cao Xuemeng." Cao Xuemeng was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was calm and composed.

For her, this was all a small scene.

"Cao Xuemeng, can you give a brief description of your personal abilities?" The male interviewer in the middle asked her.

Cao Xuemeng nodded and selectively told her story. She also took out some color prints of her works and showed them to the three interviewers.

After she finished, the three were actually quite satisfied with her.

After all, her academic qualifications were there, and she spoke very clearly. As recruiters and heads of design departments of design companies, they naturally had a basic judgment on these.

"So what do you think about salary, treatment, etc.?" the female interviewer asked her.

When it comes to this matter, Cao Xuemeng has a lot to say.

"I just came here, and I haven't shown my abilities in all aspects. You won't give me too high an income. How about a monthly salary of 20,000? My parents have been strictly controlling my pocket money recently, and the salary is not enough to spend." Cao Xuemeng said realistically.

Three interviewers: "..."

They collectively lost their voices, and the next moment, they looked at Cao Xuemeng very seriously to make sure she was not joking.

A monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, even in 2030, is an absolutely high income.

What confidence does this little sister who just graduated from CAFA have to dare to open her mouth?

Your parents are holding back your pocket money, and your salary is too low to spend?

The three interviewers' good impression of Cao Xuemeng was instantly half gone.

But Cao Xuemeng saw what was going on and immediately understood something. She said, "15,000 is not a bad amount. I'll spend it sparingly. Besides, I'm really capable, and my teacher at CAFA can testify to that."

Hearing Cao Xuemeng say this, the female interviewer patiently asked her, "Student Cao Xuemeng, who is your teacher?"

Cao Xuemeng said a name, and it was indeed a very famous person.

For the sake of Cao Xuemeng's "teacher", the three interviewers re-evaluated and said to her, "Go back and wait for news?"

"Thank you!" Cao Xuemeng took her information and left.

Cao Xuemeng first returned to the house her parents bought for her in Beijing. Seeing that she had to pay property fees, water, electricity, gas fees, and her own phone bills, Internet fees, membership fees and other miscellaneous fees, and thinking about her parents holding back her bank card and credit card, she felt a little depressed.

Her parents are so cruel. They used all kinds of despicable tricks to force her to go back. Aren't they afraid of retribution?

Fortunately, the house is in her name, so they can't sell it privately, otherwise Cao Xuemeng suspected that her parents must have more despicable means.

However, her house is in a high-end community, with a large area and higher property fees.

When she went to the interview, she told the interviewer that her salary was not enough to spend, which was true!

After removing these messy expenses, even if the salary is 15,000, the remaining money dare not be spent carelessly, and it will be spent if you are not careful.

After all, these days, AI is charged, and the charging prices are also divided into grades according to the intelligence level of AI and the scope of information collected. It is so expensive that how can it be used for free?

She is already thinking about continuing the interview tomorrow, and thinking about "beautifying" her resume again.

Evil parents, why are you blocking my pocket money? There is a lot of money in the card that I earned myself. Okay, you are blocking it too.

Finally, she had no choice but to ask Xinyi to borrow money.

"The bank is also in cahoots with them, how abominable!"

Cao Xuemeng clenched her fists and cursed with gritted teeth.

...

Fortunately, three days later, Cao Xuemeng received a notice from the Bluebird Design Institute to go to the designated hospital for a physical examination. If there was no problem, she could come to work.

This time, it was naturally smooth. Cao Xuemeng entered the design department of the Bluebird Design Institute and got the job opportunity she wanted.

But the newcomers just came and could not go to work directly. They had to receive various trainings, and they had to be mentored by the old and taken out to contact the society.

What the hell is this.

Just after a week, Cao Xuemeng was annoyed. She felt that this was simply a waste of time and life. The key point was that eating out was too expensive, and she had very little money.

Besides, she applied for the design department, not the business negotiation department. Why should she go to discuss business with them? It's nonsense!

But the department leader arranged it this way. After thinking about it, she decided to endure it and get her salary first.

Fortunately, after the first two weeks, Cao Xuemeng began to engage in formal design business and began to work overtime day and night.

According to the regulations of Bluebird Design Institute, if a good work is selected by a customer, the company will complete the order and the designer will also receive a commission from the order.

Once a big order is encountered, the commission is also very considerable.

Cao Xuemeng still has some ideas in her mind.

She is very short of money now and will soon be reduced to borrowing money to make ends meet. She is looking forward to the end of this week. Next week is the next month, and the salary will be paid.

Moreover, Bluebird Design Institute pays the salary of the previous month on the 3rd of each month, which is very good and is also valued by Cao Xuemeng.

The daughter of a billionaire has fallen to this point.

How embarrassed she is!

This is also the fundamental reason why she doesn't want to contact Xinyi sister and borrow money from her. Cao Xuemeng feels that she is too shameful.

As Cao Xuemeng worked overtime to earn a salary, the month passed quietly. In her first month at work, Cao Xuemeng worked three full weeks, which was not bad, as she had earned three quarters of the basic salary.

…

——

During the time when Cao Xuemeng worked hard to earn money, Cao Shujie, the village party secretary of Caojiazhuang, was playing with his two-year-old daughter at home.

After sowing so hard for so many years, the old tree finally bloomed and gave birth to a precious fruit.

The key is that the eldest child graduated from college and the second child is in high school. He doesn't need to show up in the company. His wife is pregnant again and gave birth to a little girl, which makes Cao Shujie very happy.

He spends most of the month at home playing with the little girl.

This little girl is also smart and funny, and she has more ideas than her sister.

Cao Shujie is really afraid of falling if he holds her in his arms, and afraid of melting if he holds her in his mouth. Even Cheng Xiaolin said sourly that he only has his daughter in his eyes and nothing else.

"Good guy, you are jealous of your daughter, you are really good." Cao Shujie said to his wife.

When Cheng Xiaolin reacted and wanted to kick him, Cao Shujie had already run out of the house with his little daughter.

Although he is 47 years old this year, he is still quite agile based on long-term exercise.

Just after running out of the house, Cao Shujie held a parasol and took his daughter outside.

His parents and parents-in-law set up a stall together, but his parents now only sell bread, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law now only sell eight-treasure porridge.

The four elderly people who are almost 70 years old are not as physically fit as they were when they were young. Now they have accepted their old age and just find something to do to pass the time.

It is better to have something to do than to be idle.

Seeing the little granddaughter (little granddaughter) coming, the four elderly people can no longer tolerate anything else in their eyes. They don’t care about the stalls. Tourists who come here can take whatever they want and pay for it as they see fit.

Looking at the little granddaughter, Wang Yuelan thought of her eldest granddaughter Mengmeng again, and asked her son: "Shujie, didn’t you ask Mengmeng how she is now?"

"Mom, she just graduated, what else can she do? She will come back after a while if she can’t stand it outside." Cao Shujie said.

Mengmeng has lived a life of not lacking money since she was a child. Although she doesn’t spend money lavishly, some consumption habits are difficult to change once they are formed.

Especially downgrading your own consumption, this is quite difficult to do.

Wang Yuelan sighed: "Oh, Mengmeng hasn't come back for several months. I don't know if she can eat enough now? Has she lost weight again?"

Cao Shujie pouted: "Mom, don't worry about her, she's fine."

Thinking of his daughter sending him a message saying that he maliciously deducted her pocket money, Cao Shujie wanted to laugh.

"Nuannuan, your sister has no money to spend and is going to get angry. When she comes back, you can ask her for money." Cao Shujie said to his little daughter.

The little guy kept shouting "Sister, sister!" when he heard what his father said.

"Dad, where is your sister?" she asked.

Cao Shujie said: "Your sister is in Beijing."

...

For Cao Xuemeng in the Blue Bird Design Institute, this month has been really difficult. She has been eating instant noodles for several days, and finally waited for the day of salary payment.

May the gods and Buddhas bless you, and pay more today.

But unfortunately, after deducting insurance and personal tax last month, she only received 7944.3 yuan in her newly opened salary card.

"Oh my god, how can this little money be enough for me to spend? There won't be much left after paying the property management fee." Cao Xuemeng was going crazy when she thought about waiting for a month and still not having much money. (End of this chapter)
