Chapter 88: The First Interviewee

May 2, 2023, Showers, 12~24°C.

"Ring-a-ling—Ring-a-ling—"

The alarm clock sounded in the quiet small bedroom.

Sun Youguang quickly sat up from the bed and picked up his phone. His originally dazed head instantly cleared up.

"Today is a holiday, why set an alarm?" his girlfriend complained vaguely, turned over, and went back to sleep.

Sun Youguang kissed her, got out of bed lightly, threw on a jacket, and carried his laptop to the living room.

Outside the window, it was "pitter-patter" raining, the living room was pitch black, and gusts of cold wind blew, making him shiver all over.

He turned on the lights and closed the windows.

Sitting at the dining table, he opened his computer and began to read the interview questions for financial accounting.

The rain stopped and started again, and the sky remained pitch black.

"Damn, you scared me, Brother Sun, what's wrong? Why are you in the living room so early?" his roommate got up to go to the bathroom and asked.

Sun Youguang smiled embarrassedly, "I have some work left to finish. Li Juan is still sleeping, so I came out to work on it."

"Sigh, it's hard to find a job these days, Brother Sun, keep it up." The roommate muttered a sentence and dived into the bathroom to relieve himself.

At 7:30 AM, Sun Youguang boiled a pot of red date and millet porridge.

He continued to look at the interview questions.

At 7:50 AM, Sun Youguang closed the computer.

He took two hand-grabbed pancakes from the refrigerator, spread eggs on them, fried them until cooked, and served them.

He picked a few fresh lettuce leaves, rolled them up with tomato sauce.

Walking into the small bedroom, he said softly to his girlfriend who was still sleeping, "Juan'er, get up and eat."

His girlfriend opened her sleepy eyes, yawned, and said vaguely, "Thanks, honey, I'll make braised pork for you at noon."

"Haha, good."

On the clean dining table, there was steaming porridge and hand-grabbed pancakes.

His girlfriend took a bite of the pancake and said, "Your company is really bullying people. It's fine to work overtime usually, but they make you work overtime in the rain on a hard-earned holiday."

"No way, there's an emergency."

"By the way, when are you going to ask the leader for a raise?"

"Uh... wait a bit longer, it's not the right time."

"Let's calculate our savings tonight, see how much we've saved, and try to scrape together 150,000 yuan by the end of the year to go back to our hometown to look at houses."

"Good." Sun Youguang replied guiltily, his gaze full of worry.

He and his girlfriend were college classmates. After graduation, they both worked as financial accountants in Yancheng, and their salaries were both over 4,000.

In order to buy a house and get married, they had always been very frugal, living in a small secondary bedroom in a shared apartment far from the city, insisting on cooking for themselves, rarely shopping for clothes, and doing part-time jobs when they had time.

And what his girlfriend didn't know was that he had already been laid off a few days ago and had been submitting resumes recently, but there weren't many interview opportunities.

Today's company was quite special; it was scheduled for an interview on a holiday, and it was just a newly established small company whose business hadn't started yet.

The advantage was that it had a paid-in registered capital of 1 million, good salary and benefits, and the office was in Yunxi Building.

For him, who was in an unemployed state and urgently needed a stable income, it was also a rare opportunity.

After breakfast, his girlfriend began to clean the kitchen and tidy up the house.

Sun Youguang washed up seriously, changed into a formal outfit, hugged his girlfriend goodbye, put on his backpack, picked up his umbrella, and went downstairs quickly.

Facing the wind and rain, taking the bus and subway, it took 40 minutes to finally reach Yunxi Building.

Surrounded by high-rise buildings, skyscrapers rose from the ground, and the prosperity and vitality of the modern city were displayed vividly.

Sun Youguang shook his wet umbrella, took the bag handed over by the property staff, and packed it up.

Walking into the spacious and gorgeous lobby, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart; it was worthy of being Yancheng's top office building, really good.

The office environment of the company he worked for now was much worse than here.

Tidying up his hair and clothes, he said to the beautiful receptionist at the front desk, "Hello, I'm here for an interview, can you help me open the access control?"

"3001, Songmei Apparel."

"Alright, thank you, thank you!"

Taking the bright high-speed elevator directly to the 30th floor.

As the elevator door opened slowly, Sun Youguang's heartbeat grew faster and faster, silently preparing his self-introduction.

Walking into the open glass door, the girl sitting at the front desk stood up quickly, her tone soft, "Hello, are you here for an interview?"

He took a resume out of his backpack and handed it over, nervously, "Yes, this is my resume, sorry, I arrived a bit early."

Because he didn't want his girlfriend to know he was unemployed, he set off at the normal time for work. It was scheduled for 10 o'clock, but he arrived at 9:20.

The girl took the resume, glanced at the name, and smiled gently, "So it's Mr. Sun. We communicated on the phone before, I am Gao Mengting. The company doesn't have a receptionist yet, so I'm guest-starring. Let's go, let's go to the conference room to chat."

After saying that, she walked out from the front desk.

Clean and light makeup, thick and fluffy brown long hair, light-mature and fashionable workplace outfit, tall and elegant posture.

A perfect urban beauty look.

Sun Youguang took a deep breath, a bit afraid to look at the other party.

So this was the vice president of Songmei Apparel, so beautiful.

Bypassing the simple and atmospheric front desk, stepping on the soft silent carpet, Sun Youguang sized up his surroundings.

The entire office area was mainly in light tones, bright and fashionable.

The decoration, furnishings, furniture, and appliances were all brand new, and the workstations were dotted with flower pots, sofas, and shelves.

This was the best-decorated and best-environment office Sun Youguang had ever seen with his own eyes—comfortable, warm, and high-end.

Working here was definitely a kind of enjoyment, which made him very tempted.

If he could stay, and the company's business was stable, with a salary of 5k, that would be great.

In the conference room.

Sun Youguang looked around.

Soft leather chairs, solid wood long table.

Directly opposite was a 70-inch large TV, and there were various data interfaces on the long conference table.

Although it wasn't big, the decoration specifications were very high.

"Dong dong dong—" The glass door was knocked lightly, and Sun Youguang quickly sat upright.

Immediately after, that Vice President Gao walked in, followed by a tall and handsome man.

He was wearing a well-fitting suit with a faint smile on his face.

"This is our company's general manager, Tang Song. The company is a startup, and you are the first one to come for an interview, so the two of us will interview you together." Gao Mengting introduced the identity of the man next to her and placed a cup of warm water in front of him.

"Thank you."

The two sat down opposite him.

They chatted simply for a few sentences.

Gao Mengting looked at the document in her hand and asked, "First, give a simple self-introduction."

"My name is Sun Youguang, graduated from Yancheng University of Economics and Trade with a major in accounting, and have 3 and a half years of financial accounting work experience..."

Sun Youguang crossed his hands on the conference table and looked at the two, trying to make himself appear sincere and energetic.

…

"How should period expenses and cost expenses be distinguished?"

"Period expenses refer to the expenses incurred in the daily activities of the enterprise..."

"What is the content of provision for impairment?"

…

The sound of questions and answers echoed in the conference room.

Entering his professional field, Sun Youguang gradually relaxed, and his answers became more and more fluent. ===== CHAPTER 89 =====
