The First Interviewee

May 2, 2023, showers, 12~24°C.

"Ring ring—ring ring—"

The alarm clock rang in the quiet little bedroom.

Sun Youguang quickly sat up in bed, picked up his Mobile Phone, and his previously dazed mind instantly cleared.

"Isn't today a day off? Why did you set an alarm?" his girlfriend mumbled sleepily, then turned over and went back to sleep.

Sun Youguang kissed her on the cheek, tiptoed out of bed, casually put on a coat, and carried his laptop to the living room.

The rain was pattering outside the window, and the living room was dark. A gust of cold wind blew in, making him shiver.

Turn on the lights and close the windows.

I sat down at the dining table, turned on my computer, and began silently reading the financial accounting interview questions.

The rain stopped and started again, but the sky remained dark.

"Oh my god, you scared me half to death! What's wrong with you, Brother Sun? What are you doing in the living room so early?" His roommate asked as he got up to go to the bathroom.

Sun Youguang smiled sheepishly, "I had some work to finish, and Li Juan was still sleeping, so I came out to take care of it."

"Sigh, it's hard to find a job these days. Good luck, Brother Sun." My roommate muttered to himself and went to the bathroom to relieve himself.

At 7:30 a. m., Sun Youguang cooked a pot of Red Date Millet Porridge.

Let's continue looking at the interview questions.

At 7:50, Sun Youguang closed his laptop.

Take two scallion pancakes out of the refrigerator, spread an egg on them, fry them until cooked, and serve.

I picked a few more fresh lettuce leaves, grabbed some ketchup, and rolled them up.

He walked into the small bedroom and whispered to his girlfriend, who was still fast asleep, "Juan Er, wake up and eat."

His girlfriend opened her sleepy eyes, yawned, and said in a muffled voice, "Thank you, darling. I'll make you braised Braised Pork for lunch."

"Haha, okay."

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

His girlfriend took a bite of her pancake and said, "Your company is really bullying us. It's one thing to make us work overtime all the time, but now that we finally have a short holiday, they make us work overtime in the rain."

"There's no other way, it's a bit of an emergency."

"By the way, when are you going to bring up the topic of a raise with your boss?"

"Um... let's wait and see, now is not the time."

"How about we do the math tonight and see how much money we've saved? Let's try to save up 150,000 yuan by the end of the year so we can go back to our hometown and look at houses."

"Okay," Sun Youguang replied somewhat guiltily, his eyes filled with worry.

He and his girlfriend were college classmates. After graduation, they both worked as accountants in Yancheng, earning a salary of over 4,000 yuan each.

In order to buy a house and get married, they have always been very frugal. They live in a small shared Second Bedroom on the outer ring road, far from the city center. They insist on cooking for themselves, rarely go shopping for clothes, and do part-time jobs when they have free time.

What his girlfriend didn't know was that he had been laid off a few days ago and had been sending out resumes recently, but he hadn't had many interview opportunities.

Today's company is quite special; they scheduled the interview for a holiday, and it's a newly established small company that hasn't started operating yet.

The advantages are that the actual paid-in registered capital is 1 million yuan, the salary and benefits are good, and the work location is Yunxi Building.

For him, who was unemployed and in dire need of a stable income, this was a rare opportunity.

After breakfast, my girlfriend started cleaning the kitchen and tidying up the house.

Sun Youguang took a good shower, changed into a more formal outfit, hugged his girlfriend goodbye, slung his bag over his shoulder, picked up his umbrella, and quickly went downstairs.

Braving the wind and rain, taking the bus and then the subway, it took 40 minutes to finally arrive at Yunxi Building.

Surrounded by towering buildings and skyscrapers, the city's prosperity and vitality are on full display.

Sun Youguang shook his wet umbrella and took the bag handed to him by the property staff to put the contents in.

Stepping into the spacious and magnificent lobby, I couldn't help but think to myself, "No wonder it's the most prestigious office building in Yancheng, it's truly impressive."

The office environment at his current company is very different from here.

After fixing my hair and clothes, I said to the pretty receptionist, "Hello, I'm here for an interview. Could you please open the access gate for me?"

"3001, Songmei Clothing".

"Okay, thank you, thank you!"

Take the bright and efficient high-speed elevator directly to the 30th floor.

As the elevator doors slowly opened, Sun Youguang's heart pounded faster and faster as he Mo Mo prepared to introduce himself.

Stepping through the open glass doors, the girl sitting at the reception desk quickly stood up and said in a gentle tone, "Hello, are you here for an interview?"

He pulled a resume out of his backpack and handed it over, saying nervously, "Yes, this is my resume. Sorry, I arrived a little early."

Because he didn't want his girlfriend to know he was unemployed, he left at his usual work time. They had agreed to meet at 10:00, but he arrived at 9:20.

The young woman took the resume, glanced at the name, and smiled gently, "Oh, it's Mr. Sun. We spoke on the phone before. I'm Gao Mengting. The company doesn't have a receptionist yet, so I'll fill in temporarily. Let's go to the conference room to talk."

After saying that, he walked out from behind the front desk.

A clean and light makeup look, long, thick, and fluffy brown hair, a sophisticated and stylish work outfit, and a tall and elegant posture.

The perfect urban chic look.

Sun Youguang took a deep breath, somewhat hesitant to look at the other person.

So this is the vice president of Songmei Clothing. She's so beautiful.

Bypassing the simple yet elegant reception desk and stepping onto the soft, quiet carpet, Sun Youguang surveyed his surroundings.

The entire office area is predominantly light-colored, creating a bright and stylish atmosphere.

The decorations, furnishings, furniture, and appliances are all brand new, and the workstations are decorated with potted plants, sofas, and shelves.

This is the best-decorated and most upscale office that Sun Youguang has ever seen.

Working here would be a real treat, which made him very excited.

If I could stay, the company's business is stable, and I could get a salary of 5k, that would be great.

In the conference room.

Sun Youguang looked around.

Soft leather chairs and a long solid wood table.

Directly opposite is a large 70-inch TV, and the long conference table has various data interfaces.

Although it's not large, the decoration is of a very high standard.

"Knock knock knock—" There was a gentle knock on the glass door, and Sun Youguang immediately sat up straight.

Immediately afterwards, the Vice President Gao walked in, followed by a tall and handsome man.

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

"This is Tang Song, our company's General Manager. The company is newly established, and you are the First Position to be interviewed, so we are interviewing together." Gao Mengting introduced the man next to her and placed a glass of warm water in front of him.

"Thanks."

The two sat down opposite him.

We exchanged a few simple pleasantries.

Gao Mengting looked at the documents in her hand and asked, "Let's start with a brief self-introduction."

"My name is Sun Youguang. I graduated from Yancheng University of Economics and Trade and Business with a major in Accounting and have three and a half years of experience in financial accounting..."

Sun Youguang placed his hands on the conference table, looked at the two men, and tried his best to appear frank and energetic.

How should period expenses and cost expenses be distinguished?

"Period expenses refer to expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business..."

What are the details of impairment provision?

A question-and-answer session filled the conference room.

Once inside his area of expertise, Sun Youguang gradually relaxed and his answers became increasingly fluent.
