In the cloud
(30)
On that day, it was still raining. In Beijing, the sun rises in the east and the rain falls in the west in June and July. Fortunately, THIS time I was prepared, holding the umbrella I bought for ten yuan at the subway entrance, and went happily to handle the entry procedures.
A new job, a new journey.
Many people choose this day to enter the office, all departments, all kinds of work, men and women more than twenty people gathered in a conference room. Degree certificate, graduation certificate, ID card are presented, one by one check, verify the identity. Pay card account number, resignation certificate, new labor contract submitted in turn.
After the completion of the entry procedures, the gentle hr girl began to explain the company’s rules and regulations as well as the daily reimbursement process, is very professional.
Although the girl in charge of the training on the platform was very beautiful, the air conditioning in the conference room was very cool, and people around were very friendly, I was in a very good mood, but the one-hour talk was too long, and AFTER several struggles, I began to fall asleep.
As we were about to meet, I suddenly felt a pair of big palms patting my shoulder. I opened my eyes and saw a smiling middle-aged man leaning over me. I immediately got up from my seat.
I wiped the mouth of the saliva, the middle-aged man smiled and said to me: “Yao Boqi?”
I nodded and stared carefully for a long time, and finally remembered the middle-aged man who was calling my name and the image of a standard technology tycoon in IT field. He was the second interview officer for my technical interview at that time.
“Come with me,” he said kindly.
I packed the materials in my backpack and followed him out of the meeting room. After leaving the conference room, he slowed down and turned back to me. “My name is Li Bo. Welcome to join our infrastructure team.
I bowed: “thank you eldest brother, very honored to join our group.”
The technical interview of the Internet has some established rules. Generally speaking, one side of the interviewer is a soldier who has worked in the group for one or two years, and the other side of the interviewer is basically the person in charge of the group, which is the direct leader after entering the job. The three interviewers are the technical director of the department. Not surprisingly, Li Bo is my direct boss.
Li Bo had a simple smile on his face. “Don’t call me boss. We don’t do that here. You can call me Libo, or Bog, like the rest of the group.”
“All right, Pogo.”
Bo elder brother enquires: “you 90 hind?”
I nodded. “November 90.”
“Oh, horse, the same year as Wang Xu.”
I followed Bogo in the elevator, down the hallway, down the hall, all twisted and twisted. On this journey, I was cautious and did not dare to say a word or look around. I only followed closely and passively answered Some of Bo Ge’s questions.
After walking about 100 meters, Bogo stopped. I looked up and saw a poster on the wall with the words “Infrastructure Group” in big letters.
Bogo then led me to a colleague’s workstation. At this point, the colleague is wearing headphones, immersed in work. Bogo tapped on his desk. He took off his headset and looked back.
“Wang Xu, your apprentice is here. Let’s get to know each other.” Bogo said with a smile.
Wang Xu immediately turned around and stood up from the chair. He was about my size, wearing a Uniqlo half-sleeve shirt with Mickey Mouse on it and a pair of black-framed glasses with large lenses.
Wang Xu bent his waist and reached out his hand. I quickly reached over and our hands were tightly held together. Wang Xu smiled and said to me, “Bo Ge said that you are from The University of Post, and we are alumni.”
Bo Ge took over: “Wang Xu is also your university, now is our group of research and development of the main force. You are new to the job and may not be familiar with some things. Let him take you through. Ask him if you don’t know anything, whether it’s technical or otherwise.”
I directed bo Elder brother nod, then face Wang Xu bow and say: “master good, later more care.”
Go out, low profile, modest and cautious will attract people like.
Wang Xu waved his hands. “Don’t call me that. We’re about the same age. Call master more uncomfortable, you call me Wang Xu on the line.”

Wang Xu is the same age as me. He wouldn’t let me call him Master, so I had to call him Brother Xu. Although we were born in the same year, he went to school and graduated a year earlier than me. Therefore, he is my upperclassman. He joined Langyun after graduation and has been working in langyun for two years.
I do not know the salary gap with Wang Xu. Because the company has salary confidentiality agreements, and asking about your co-workers’ salaries is a big no-no at work. But I’m one level below him and that’s a public thing on the internal office system.
Eileen Chang said, “It’s early to become famous.” In fact, in some industries, it’s early to get a job. The gap between me and Wang Xu is also acceptable. I’ve heard of many undergraduate classmates, one who went to work in a company, the other who went on to graduate school. After the graduate student that reads a master’s degree graduates, go to an enterprise to apply for a job, discover original undergraduate course classmate has become oneself immediate boss. If you’re in that situation, it’s really embarrassing.
At lunch on the day of my entry, Boge organized a dinner party to welcome my arrival. He found a Sichuan restaurant near his company. In the restaurant’s private room, 13 men in our group crowded a full table.
In the tech world, you have to accept the fact that girls are scarce. The lack of women and the fact that they work with computer machines in everyday life has led to a high rate of single male programmers.
While the meal was being prepared, Bogo asked everyone to introduce themselves and get to know each other. After a circle down, I learned that except Wang Xu and I, the rest of them are graduate students, and all graduated from domestic IT industry famous universities.
There are 13 people in the group, including 4 from Harbin Institute of Technology, 3 from Dalian Institute of Technology, and 3 from our University of Post. The remaining 3 are Huake, Beihang and Xdian respectively.
After introducing myself, besides Wang Xu, I met another alumnus, Kang Shen. Kang God name Hu Jiakang, he is the only one in the group with bo Elder brother almost senior old staff, to Langyun has 6 years.
We all call him Kangshen, I temporarily do not know why, also embarrassed to ask. But to follow the crowd and not be beaten, I also call this alumnus Kangshen. May be kang God and I are not the same age, there is a generation gap. Maybe it was something else. I don’t know.
In a word, he was neither cold nor warm to me, always posing a cold face to show others, unlike my alumni love with Wang Xu.

After a week on the job, I got to know the team. New colleagues in the new environment, have not fully understood each other’s temperament, so when dealing with each other, there is still a little unnatural, are careful, for fear of causing discomfort to the other side.
It is always difficult to adapt to a new environment. You have to endure the pain of feeling like an outsider when everyone around you is familiar with you. Fortunately, my master Wang Xu is a cheerful person, and it is easy to get along with him.
He familiarized me with the business of the department, opened various access permissions for me, and taught me how to reimburse food and transportation expenses. In order to get me familiar with the work, he would assign some simple tasks for me to practice. With his help, although there was discomfort in the days after entering the job, everything went smoothly.
After the company spent a lot of money on the promotion of the products in charge of the department, the number of users surged, and some modules of the original underlying technical architecture could not support the requests of the current number of users. As the head of the product’s underlying architecture, Bogo is currently leading a code refactoring effort.
We all have a lot of work on our hands and often work overtime until 10 PM. I just entered the job, technically can not help too much, had to find another way to contribute to the group. In addition to staying with them late into the night, I also volunteered to do some chores for us, such as picking up express delivery, takeout and delivering materials.
Well, to be honest, I don’t really have that high sense of “doing things for others without thinking for myself.” Helping people started out passive. Once, my master is busy modifying the bug on the line, suddenly came a express phone, he is really can not leave the body, please I go downstairs to help him take it, I of course bounden duty.
After this, this elder brother, that ye began to dominate me one after another, the people in the group are senior, are all big men, do not offend. Besides, I don’t have any urgent tasks at the moment, and it’s my duty to clear some barriers at work for everyone.
Even Bogo, who doesn’t ask people to run errands for him, has entrusted me with deliveries two or three times. Kangshen is the only man who has never used me, I really don’t understand.
I swore to myself that one day I would conquer this wild man.
