Chapter 16 Attraction
Xiao Jialin's father was a teacher from a sports school and especially loved football. In 1989, Inter Milan won the Serie A championship with a record-breaking results under the leadership of Mattus, Bremer and Klinsmann. At that time, he was a junior high school student and became a fan of Inter Milan under the influence of his father. After going to college, he has been the main striker of the computer football team and has to play football almost every week.
However, Xiao Jialin's interest has changed recently. He likes basketball more than football. Every morning after getting up, he will go to the school stadium to practice shooting for about half an hour, and then take a bus at the school gate to the Snapdragon Software Company for internship.
On the morning of June 2nd, when he was sleeping soundly, he was awakened by the crackling keyboard sound. When he opened his eyes, he found that his roommate Zhang Dongliang was sitting next to a large desk in the middle of the room, typing at the rented 386 computer.
Xiao Jialin and Zhang Dongliang were selected by Jiang Danfeng to work during May Day. They worked for 100 yuan a day, and each person earned 300 yuan. Later, Du Qiu's speech caused a sensation. The open source program he left not only attracted many students, but also the teachers were very interested. The school computer room was crowded every day, and it took a long time to queue up on the computer. Moreover, each person had to work for one hour, which was very inconvenient. So, together, they just put together the money they earned from working and rented 386 units from a second-hand computer store at the entrance of the school.
"Dongliang, what time is it?"
“5:40.”
"Damn! Why did you get up so early?"
At this time, another roommate was awakened and yawned and said, "Isn't it that the awesome Mr. Du of your company? Today is Tuesday, the day for the acceptance of the inote code."
Xiao Jialin suddenly realized, lying on the bed side, looking at Zhang Dongliang, who was staring at the screen and typing, and felt mixed feelings, not knowing what to say.
He studied hard for four years in college and had a solid basic knowledge. After submitting the code twice, he passed Xu Yongrui's acceptance on May 16 and successfully became an intern at Snapdragon. Zhang Dongliang, who has been in college for four years, has both good grades and is not bad. He submitted the code several times, but has not passed the acceptance. Now that he is getting up so early, he obviously wants to cram and work harder.
Tongliang relies on his intelligence and hardly goes to classes. He always relies on raids before the exam. He has never been so serious...
But as Mr. Du said, as long as you do things seriously, you will always gain something. Although the foundation of Tongliang is a little poor, he is much more motivated than other roommates...
"Xiao Jialin, please help me see if what I wrote this time is OK."
"good."
Xiao Jialin slept on the miscellaneous shop near the door. He held the railing along the edge of the bed, turned over and jumped down neatly, moved a stool and sat next to Zhang Dongliang, looked at the code, and after only a while, he pointed out seven or eight mistakes and omissions, and then gave better solutions and implementation methods.
"Damn, Xiao Jialin, after you fucked Snapdragon, you were like taking big tonic pills. In just half a month, your level was rising. "The awakened roommate sighed and asked, "Do you want the job you signed before? That's a good unit in Pujiang."
"I would rather be an intern at Snapdragon for the rest of my life than waste my time in Pujiang." Xiao Jialin replied casually, and then said to Zhang Dongliang, who was frustrated, "Dongliang, you have made a lot of progress. If you change these small problems, you will definitely pass the test. The code I submitted last time was not as good as you wrote now."
"Yeah?"
"As long as I don't come here today, I think it's almost certain to get it." Xiao Jialin took out a pair of brown basketball shorts from the bed filled with miscellaneous items and said while wearing it: "Manager He has too high requirements. Even a student from the University of Science and Technology will find it difficult to pass his acceptance."
Zhang Dongliang regained some confidence and asked: "Who is Manager He?"
"Manager He works in the operating system. He studied at Carnegie Mellon University before. Carnegie Mellon University's computer major is as good as MIT and the University of Dasha Berkeley. They once built a very awesome microkernel operating system called mah..." Xiao Jialin told all the information he heard about in the past few days, and then concluded: "Manager He is the highest-level in Snapdragon except Mr. Du. Mr. Du often asks him questions. Sometimes the two can chat for several hours, but no one can understand it."
"The first time is Manager Xu. That time you were Manager Qin and last week was Manager Wu. Will this be what you mentioned in Manager He?"
"It may also be Manager Li Jianhua. If you can't say it, Manager Li's best to speak, and the passing rate must be very high." Xiao Jialin comforted him with a very ethereal reason: "It may also be Mr. Du came in person. After all, this week it was exactly one month away from his speech on May 2."
"Too."
Xiao Jialin took out a dirty basketball from under the bed, ran to the stadium for about an hour, and then went to the cafeteria to buy a few buns for breakfast. When he returned to the dormitory, he found that Zhang Dongliang was gone, so he asked his roommate who was lying on the bed and reading the novel, saying, "Where is Dongliang?"
"I've been queuing to the computer room. There must be many people going to the computer room to submit code today. If you don't queuing early, you may not be able to get on the computer at noon."
"Our school leaders are too stingy. There are tens of thousands of students, only dozens of computers in the computer room, and they are all old antiques like 386. They are so fucking stingy."
"What computer do you Snapdragon use?"
"It's all in the water, and it's all equipped with optical drives. If you buy it alone, it's probably more than 15,000 yuan." Xiao Jialin said in a big mouthful of chewing buns: "Even the chairs are imported, it's very comfortable to sit, and it's not tiring for several hours. It's said that they use the same model as Microsoft employees, several thousand each."
"I'm really rich and not using money as money." The roommate was a little envious, put down the novel in his hand and said, "If I hadn't signed the contract long ago, I would have wanted to try it."
"Dongliang and I have signed a work contract," Xiao Jialin said a little disdainful of his laziness, "Actually, the treatment is nothing. The key is that Snapdragon gives many opportunities. He really thinks about the future of employees. Other companies are fooling around, saying that although the salary is low, it can learn something. It's bullshit! If you really want to learn something, which company in China can compare with Snapdragon? I won't talk about anything else. After Snapdragon has worked for a year, any company in the country, including foreign companies, will rush to ask me."
The roommate was silent, then said with a dry smile: "Do you want to change jobs now?"
"I just said that." Xiao Jialin smiled and said, "After staying in Snapdragon for half a month, there are few companies in the country who can look at it. After working for a year, if you want to change jobs, you can only jump abroad."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the dormitory was pushed open by someone, and a bang sound was made. Another classmate who was also intern at Snapdragon rushed in, waved the newspaper, and shouted: "Xiao Jialin, have you read the newspaper today? Front page headlines! Our company and Microsoft have reached a strategic cooperation agreement."
Xiao Jialin stood up, took the newspaper and looked at it, and said with a happy face: "There has been really reached a cooperation agreement! I heard from Zhao Hongfei that if the agreement is reached, Manager Qin will select several interns to go to the United States to receive Microsoft training."
