Siheyuan: Buyers get rich from hunting

Time passes by minute by minute, just like the extremely fine grains of sand in an ancient hourglass, sliding down silently, one after another, neither fast nor slow, but unknowingly, gradually obscuring the afterglow of the sun, announcing that the afternoon work is about to come to an end, and the bell for getting off work seems to have sounded gently not far away.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao, three colleagues, each at their own pace, began to calmly organize the items on their desks. Their movements were both skilled and methodical, and each item was put in place just right, which not only reflected their respect for the work, but also revealed a calmness towards the important conversation that was about to take place. After finishing the tidying up, the three of them stopped what they were doing at the same time, their eyes met in the air, and the corners of their mouths naturally raised a meaningful smile, which contained both recognition of the tacit understanding between each other and the expectation and confidence for the upcoming conversation.

Then, they walked side by side in a ritualistic and orderly pace towards the direction of the Personnel Department. Along the way, they occasionally exchanged a few low and meaningful conversations, as if they were discussing a crucial topic. Everyone's face was full of seriousness and concentration, with brows slightly furrowed and eyes flashing with thinking, as if they were repeatedly pondering and perfecting the views and requests that they were about to present to the section chief, striving to accurately convey their thoughts with every word and every sentence to avoid any possible misunderstanding or omission.

Although they were inevitably a little nervous and uneasy in their hearts, their steps were extremely firm, and each step was steady and powerful, as if they were measuring the distance to the goal with their footsteps, and each step was full of determination and courage to move forward. Their hearts were full of expectations and hopes for the future, which was a kind of strength that could keep faith and move forward even in the face of the unknown and challenges.

Finally, after a journey that was neither too long nor too short, they arrived at the door of the Personnel Department. Looking up, the light in the chief's office was particularly bright in the dim twilight, like the brightest star in the night sky, illuminating not only the road ahead, but also the hopes and dreams in their hearts, guiding them to move forward bravely.

The three of them exchanged glances again, which contained encouragement for each other and determination for the challenges ahead. They took a deep breath, as if to turn all the tension and anxiety into motivation to move forward, then they mustered their courage, gently placed their hands on the closed door, and gently knocked on the door to the future.

"Come in." A steady and majestic voice came from behind the door, like the echo of an ancient bell tower, solemn and powerful. Hearing this voice, the three people's hearts could not help but tremble slightly, but then they quickly adjusted their state and restored their usual calmness and composure.

They carefully pushed open the door, took a decisive step, and walked into the space that would determine their fate. The head of the personnel department was sitting behind a large desk, concentrating on reviewing the documents in his hands. His sharp eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. Any lies and hypocrisy would be exposed under his gaze. However, when he saw the three of them walking in side by side, a hint of surprise flashed across his face, but soon he regained his usual calmness and dignity, ready to welcome the upcoming conversation.

"Oh, isn't this Master Yi, Master Liu, and Xu Damao? You three must be here for something important, right?" The section chief asked with a smile on his face, a tone of intimacy and curiosity, as if he was reminiscing with old friends. His eyes revealed a warm light that made people feel relaxed.

The three of them looked at each other, as if confirming their mutual understanding and determination. Then, Yi Zhonghai, as the representative of the team, spoke first, with a hint of subtle nervousness in his voice, but more of a desire for opportunities: "Section Chief, we came to you today specifically for the upcoming training class. To be honest, we are both looking forward to and nervous about this training. After all, such an opportunity is rare, not only can we learn the latest technical knowledge, but also improve our personal professional skills, which is undoubtedly a great help in our careers. However, we still have some concerns in our hearts, worrying that our conditions may not be enough, and we are afraid that we will be rejected and leave regrets. So, we want to come and ask you, what are the specific selection criteria for this training class? So that we can have a better idea in our minds."

After listening to their words, the section chief nodded slightly, with an understanding smile on his face. He gently put down the pen in his hand, leaned forward slightly, and responded with a focused and serious look: "Haha, I can completely understand your feelings. This training class is indeed a rare and good opportunity. Not only can you get in touch with the most cutting-edge technology, but it can also broaden your horizons and improve yourself. As for the selection criteria, it will indeed be relatively strict. After all, opportunities are limited, and the best must be selected. But don't worry, what I value most is not academic qualifications or other superficial things, but whether your work attitude is correct, whether your learning ability is strong, and how is your team spirit. These are real things that can be seen through daily work and performance. As long as you can show excellent performance in these aspects, I firmly believe that you will definitely have the opportunity to stand out from many competitors and become the best of this training class."

Hearing this, the three of them couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, as if a big stone had fallen from the ground. They knew that their work attitude and learning ability were both able to stand the test, and as long as they worked harder, they would definitely be able to win this precious learning opportunity.

Seeing this, the section chief continued, "Of course, in addition to these basic qualities, I will also take into account your performance in actual work and your contribution to the steel mill. After all, practice is the only criterion for testing truth, and the strength and potential you have demonstrated in your work are also what I value most. So, you must continue to work hard in your daily work, don't slack off, and strive to do your best in all aspects."

The three of them nodded repeatedly, their faces filled with determination, saying that they would work harder and live up to the expectations and cultivation of the section chief. Finally, the section chief smiled and said, "Okay, you can go back first. I will take your situation into consideration. If there is good news, I will inform you as soon as possible. Remember, opportunities always come to those who are prepared. As long as you maintain this positive attitude, I believe that the future will definitely belong to you."

Hearing what the section chief said, the three smiled with relief, as if they saw the dawn of success waving ahead. They knew the importance of this training to their personal career development, and they also understood that only through continuous efforts and accumulation can they obtain better opportunities and broader development space.

After expressing their heartfelt thanks to the section chief, the three of them left the personnel section. Although they did not know what the final result would be, their worries had been alleviated a lot. They knew that as long as they continued to work hard and constantly improve their abilities and qualities, they would be able to welcome their own opportunities and challenges and write their own wonderful chapters.
