That evening, after seeing her family off, Wu Jiabao returned to her temporary apartment. She sat on the sofa, looking at the city night view outside the window, and felt a surge of indescribable emotions.
Two years ago, after graduating from junior college, she sent out dozens of resumes without receiving any responses. She then thought of joining the army, which was actually a last resort for her.
Because serving in the military for two years can earn you a large sum of money, and it's relatively easier to find a job after you return.
Two years later, she returned from military service and not only received a retirement allowance of over 100,000 yuan, but also got a decent job with the help of her close comrades.
It all feels like a dream.
She tossed and turned all night, unable to sleep, feeling both excited and hopeful for the future.
On Monday, she appeared in the lobby of the Times Square building looking completely refreshed.
Like the employees here, I swiped my card to enter the elevator lobby and took the elevator to the Human Resources Department on the 23rd floor.
However, this time she did not see Gao Yue, but was instead led by an HR specialist to the administration department on the 22nd floor.
Along the way, she encountered many employees, all of whom looked at Wu Jiabao with curious eyes.
I heard a few days ago that a new person was parachuted in and only has a junior college degree. That's ridiculous!
So behind their backs, everyone was saying that they'd finally met the real person today.
Fortunately, Wu Jiabao had served in the army for two years, so her physique and demeanor were undoubtedly excellent, which gave them a good first impression.
The HR specialist led Wu Jiabao to the office of the administrative director, Fang Hui.
"Minister Fang, this is your new administrative commissioner, Wu Jiabao."
Fang Hui looked Wu Jiabao up and down, then nodded: "The young lady is quite spirited!"
"Minister Fang, my mission is complete. I'm going back to report to our boss now."
Fang Hui waved her hand: "Alright, the person is mine now, you can leave."
After the HR left, Fang Hui looked at Wu Jiabao's face and asked, "Were you in the military?"
Wu Jiabao replied truthfully, "Yes, Navy, two years."
"Do you have any special skills?"
"no."
"So what did you do in the army?"
Wu Jiabao replied succinctly, "Communication."
Fang Hui then called her secretary, Xie Yun, and said, "Take Wu Jiabao to her workstation and show her around the room."
"Okay, boss!" Xie Yun led Wu Jiabao out of Fang Hui's office.
Xie Yun was only in her early twenties, and looked no older than Wu Jiabao.
She looked at Wu Jiabao curiously: "Your name is Wu Jiabao?"
Wu Jiabao nodded respectfully: "Yes!"
"Did you sign up on your own or was someone recommending you?" Xie Yun asked, probing Wu Jiabao's background as she led her towards the workstation by the window.
Wu Jiabao didn't know how to answer, so she finally replied, "I was introduced by someone else."
Xie Yun's eyes lit up immediately, and she asked, determined to get to the bottom of it: "Who introduced you? You're the first person here with a college diploma. It seems your introducer must be quite impressive."
Wu Jiabao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I'm sorry, it's not convenient for me to say."
Xie Yun was taken aback for a moment, but quickly recovered and chuckled, "Yes, yes, look at me, I'm just too curious."
The workstation is by the window, offering a clear view of the bustling traffic on Huaihai Road. The view is quite good, and Wu Jiabao never expected that she, a newcomer, would be assigned to such a good position.
Xie Yun handed Wu Jiabao an employee handbook and a departmental responsibilities description: "If you don't understand anything, feel free to ask me. Take a look at these two internal company documents when you have time."
After saying that, she left. Seeing that no specific work was assigned to her, Wu Jiabao sat at her workstation and began to carefully study the documents.
At that moment, a female employee sitting behind her slid down from her computer chair to her side and extended her hand: "Hello, I'm Rodin, what's your name?"
Wu Jiabao quickly shook the other person's hand: "Hello, my name is Wu Jiabao, please take care of me in the future."
A female employee to her right slid down to sit next to her in a chair: "Xu Zhi, welcome to our administration department."
Wu Jiabao quickly shook his hand again and said, "Thank you!"
At this moment, other colleagues nearby came over to greet her, which made Wu Jiabao very happy. It seems that the working atmosphere here is quite good.
Not long after, Fang Hui came out of the office, clapped her hands, and formally introduced Wu Jiabao to everyone in the administration department.
"We have a new colleague in our department, Wu Jiabao. Let's all get to know each other. I'll treat everyone to dinner tonight so we can all have a get-together and Jiabao can get to know everyone. No one is allowed to take leave without a special reason."
"receive!"
"receive!"
"clear!"
"Long live the boss!"
The office area suddenly became lively.
Around noon, Wu Jiabao was still diligently studying relevant materials at her workstation when she felt someone tap her on the shoulder. Turning around, she saw Luo Dan.
"Oh, okay!" Wu Jiabao quickly got up and followed Luo Dan toward the elevator.
She originally thought she was going to find a restaurant outside for lunch, but she didn't expect that the fifth floor of this building was a restaurant, and it occupied an entire floor.
The restaurant is decorated very luxuriously, and the menu is extensive, including local Shanghai cuisine, Sichuan cuisine, Cantonese cuisine, Huaiyang cuisine, as well as dedicated vegetarian and halal sections.
What surprised Wu Jiabao even more was that all the employees ate here for free.
Rodin explained that his access card also functioned as a meal card, with a standard meal costing 20 yuan, and any extra money to be paid out of pocket. However, the food here was much cheaper than outside, so there was basically no need to pay extra.
"This is one of our group's benefits. You can eat three meals a day in the restaurant as long as you want. You won't have to eat breakfast outside anymore. Let me tell you, our breakfast here is amazing, and it's buffet style. As long as you don't waste food, you can eat as much as you want."
While listening to Luo Dan's talk, Wu Jiabao held her plate and picked out her favorite dishes.
In the end, she ordered a sweet and sour pork ribs, a vegetable dish, a bowl of winter melon and pork rib soup, and a bowl of rice, and then sat down with Rodin at an empty seat.
Rodin was a warm-hearted person, and we talked a lot, including the specific daily work that the department was responsible for, the things that needed to be paid attention to, what the unspoken rules of the company were, and what the character and personality of the senior leaders were like.
Wu Jiabao silently memorized everything. She knew that these things were very important and were not in the documents.
In the afternoon, Fang Hui arranged for Luo Dan to guide her through some simple tasks, marking the official start of her professional career.
