The Hope You Gave Me: 18-Interview


Three months later.

October in Ben Thanh is the best season of the year, cool, dry and fragrant with sweet-scented osmanthus.

After returning from Xingshui, Min Hui rented a small apartment of 40 square meters in the city center, with one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. She stayed at home to play games and rested for a month. Seeing that the bank deposits could only go in and out, I finally decided to go out to find a job.

During this period, she contacted the volunteers of the relatives search network several times, screened the new information released recently, and did not find any clues related to or suspected of Su Tian's younger brother. The volunteers also advised her to treat her rationally and not to waste money.

The search for relatives came to a standstill.

However, Chen sir from the Mushuihe police station sent her a few WeChat messages complaining that Xin Qi was "endless" tossing the police over there. Invite an underwater salvage team to re-salvage at suspicious locations, and visit large and small hospitals, emergency centers, and rescue stations to see if there are unidentified female patients who died or amnesia due to falling into the water. They advertised in large and small newspapers, self-media, and TV stations, and placed huge rewards... As a result, the bodies were not found, and the floating bodies in the Mushui River were all fished out. Later, I heard that he suddenly fell ill, and it was quite serious. Everyone dared not move him, so he was allowed to live in Mushuihe Hospital. He flew to Beijing to invite a cardiologist to diagnose and treat him. He stayed for a month. After his health got better, he was forcibly "escorted" back to the United States by his brother.

Every time she receives a text message from Chen sir, Min Hui can imagine Xin Qi's loneliness, sadness and despair from just a few words, and she will be sad and sad for several days.

After Xin Qi returned to the United States, Chen sir never sent another message. The last text message reminded her not to forget to apply to the court to declare Su Tian's death two years later, because "the day will come to an end."

After submitting ten resumes, Min Hui got three interviews. It was during this time that she was in poor health and mood: dizziness, insomnia, fatigue, migraines, loss of appetite—turning her into a fussy and irritable woman. With her grades and education background, her resumes have always been successful, but she underestimated the influence of Guanchao International in the industry.

In the first interview, when she saw the level of the questions in the written test, she felt that it was too poor, so she turned around and left. The second company is a big company with good conditions. She also easily passed the written test. During the interview, the male examiner repeatedly questioned her about her relationship with Cheng Qirang, how she "offended" Guanchao International and was kicked out. Min Hui did not want to explain, halfway through Exit, walk away.

The examiner was not reconciled, and made a special trip to write an email to scold her, saying that she had an arrogant attitude and did not want to get involved in this industry. She was not reconciled, and wrote a longer email scolding back, saying that he only had gossip and no job in his mind, and he was not worthy of being a CEO, and wished him all business losses.

After a week of laziness, she received two interview notices. One near and one far, she decided to try the nearest one first. The company is called "Bai'an Technology", which is a famous medical device company. Yuanlai Medical is a small-scale technology subsidiary engaged in software development in artificial intelligence and medical diagnosis. The company has just been established for half a year and is still recruiting. Min Hui's previous job—even though it was only six months long—plus her postgraduate internship experience matched the company's direction. The distant one is not as good as this one in terms of fame and treatment, so it is only an alternative.

"Bai'an Technology" is located on the second floor of Xianghe Building, No. 77, Zhongshan Road. The company has less than 30 employees, many of whom are part-timers. The east area of ​​Bincheng is a university area and a high-tech development area, which is full of talents. Although there are only five positions, because it is a popular AI, there are as many as 200 people who have heard the news and come to participate in the interview. They are arranged for the first round of written tests in three time slots and four rooms. Four days later, Min Hui received a notice for further interviews.

Min Hui spent a long time in the closet before going out, and finally decided to wear a white A-line dress, plus a gray suit jacket, and seriously put on a light makeup. When I arrived at the company by two subway stops, I found that there were ten people who came to interview, and all of them were boys except myself. Although Bai'an Technology is not well known, Yuanlai Medical is an old listed company in Sino-US joint venture. It occupies an important position in medical imaging, clinical testing, digital ultrasound, patient monitoring, drug development and other fields.

The receptionist's name is Yang Beibei, with a cute baby face, lively attitude and sweet voice. After greeting everyone to sit down, she brought a cup of coffee to each interviewee.

Beside Min Hui sits a boy with glasses, who has been playing mobile games attentively. He doesn't look up when picking up the coffee. He almost took Min Hui's coffee away and said "sorry" quickly.

"It's fine."

"Ha, I saw you on the day of the written test, purple dress, ball head, right?"

"Yes."

"Everyone says you look a lot like Kai'Sa."

That's a character from "League of Legends", Min Hui used to be so fascinated, she couldn't help laughing: "Who are you all?"

"All the six doctoral students in the three dormitories of our department are here."

"My name is Min Hui."

"My name is Zhang Xiaohan."

The two shook hands.

"I heard that there is a position of general assistant, are you applying for it?"

"No. I'm applying as a software designer."

"Me too. Hey, who made the questions for the written test, I rely on it, it's super difficult and too many! There's no way to finish it, is this going to give us a killer?"

Without waiting for Min Hui's answer, another boy also joined the topic: "I raced against the clock, didn't take a breath, and only did half of it. I thought I was done, and now I'm going to fail, and I was told to come. interview."

"Maybe people just want to see where your limits are, and they don't expect you to finish." Zhang Xiaohan shrugged, "I also have about one-third of the questions left unfinished."

"Yes," Min Hui nodded, "not really."

Before she finished speaking, Yang Beibei walked over quickly and said, "Min Hui, come in, you are the first."

Min Hui quickly stood up and accidentally knocked over the coffee in her hand. Yang Beibei quickly grabbed a box of tissues and spread it on it, and said with a smile, "Wow, why are you so nervous? The hardest part is over, and your written test is a perfect score! As long as you don't swear during the interview, you will definitely be able to. Yes. Zhang Xiaohan, help to clean up, thank you!"

Min Hui said "I'm sorry", leaving the two stunned boys, and followed Bei Bei to the conference room.

***

Along the way, Bei Bei introduced her to the two supervisors who conducted the interview, one named He Haixiang, the company's CEO. One is Cao Mu, the vice president of the company, responsible for marketing and sales. When Min Hui entered, Cao Mu was the only one inside, and He Haixiang didn't arrive, saying that there was an important call. Without the presence of the big boss, it was inconvenient to start, Cao Mu decided to chat casually and introduce the general situation of the company to Min Hui.

Cao Mu is a woman in her mid-forties, with an ordinary appearance and a short stature, with a big pie face, triangular eyes, square forehead, double chin, and short, capable hair. It can be seen that she is very particular about what she wears, the clothes are of good quality, and there are not many jewelry but all big names. Although her appearance is unremarkable, and her cheekbones are exposed slightly fierce, her impression on Min Hui is not bad. He was well-mannered and appeared to be a well-educated man.

"I'm also from Huaqing University, we are alumni." Her tone was very easy-going, "Hey, your dress is so beautiful, where did you buy it?"

"Zara bought one when the season was changing. It was less than 200 yuan. It was a great deal." Min Hui said.

"When I lose weight, I'll definitely buy one of these clothes." She looked at her enviously.

"Are you also a computer science student?" Min Hui asked.

"Yes, I made your exam questions."

Wow, awesome. Min Hui was a little surprised, it was difficult for her to connect the computer expert with the person who looked like the aunt in front of her.

"Have you worked at Guanchao International for six months?" Cao Mu asked.

Min Hui closed her eyes and thought, "It's over, it's over, here it is again.

"Yes."

"Your CTO Cheng Qirang is my college classmate. He used to know him well. His girlfriend is still in our dormitory."

"Is Zheng Yiting?" She doesn't remember this person reading Huaqing.

"Ex-girlfriend."

"Oh."

"In order to follow Zheng Yiting, I kicked her out." Cao Mu said, "Cheng Qirang back then was our grassroots."

When she said this, she couldn't help pursing her lips, as if she had kissed Tie Cao in her imagination.

It was over, Min Hui couldn't help pinching her bag with her hand, feeling the urge to run. She lowered her head uneasily, and was about to find a reason to slip away when the door suddenly opened, and a man in a suit in his forties walked in. Min Hui had to sit down again.

The visitor is He Haixiang, the CEO of Bai'an Technology, with a medium build, with a shrewd southern face, dark skin, deep eye sockets, probably likes smoking, and slightly yellowed teeth. The taste of nicotine.

I don't know if the vocal cords are leaking or not closing well. He Haixiang has a voice of tobacco and alcohol. When I speak, I feel like my throat will be torn at any time, and the K song is suitable for Zang Tianshuo.

He Haixiang walked to the table and sat down, opened the glass and took a sip, and asked, "Have you two started?"

"Not yet, just chatting casually, waiting for Mr. He to come." Cao Mu handed him a document, "This is her CV. Her name is Min Hui, she graduated from the Department of Computer Science of Huaqing University. Master's degree."

"It's Huaqing again," He Haixiang pushed his CV aside, glanced at Min Hui, and said with a smile, "Cao Mu, is this how you express your love for your alma mater?"

"That's right."

The two laughed. After a while, He Haixiang cleared his throat: "Min Hui, what technologies have you learned in university related to our company's projects?"

"Machine learning, statistical modeling, image processing and analysis."

"What we are doing now is medical imaging AI and pathological diagnosis. Do you have such work experience?"

- Please take a look at my CV and ask some quality questions please? Min Hui thought.

But he still answered honestly: "I have done AI research on skin cancer screening, mainly through the digital processing of pathological images to improve the efficiency and accuracy of diagnosis."

"Skin cancer screening?" He Haixiang put down the teacup and became interested, "I attended an artificial intelligence seminar in Beijing last month, and I heard that an AI team made a "BlackDot Project", which is currently in They are leading the industry in skin cancer screening. They are no longer satisfied with only skin cancer, but are doing everything from lung cancer, brain cancer, rectal cancer, and cervical cancer. If these stubborn cancers can be detected early, they can greatly improve It is very expensive! They recently got a big venture capital, 300 million! They want to develop a cloud AI-assisted diagnosis and treatment platform, and they have just started. Of course, they are industry giants and can be a platform and an ecosystem. We Well, it's just an entrepreneur, it's good to dig deep in the segmented field."

"Getting data is the key." Min Hui said, "Have we cooperated with the nearby tertiary hospitals on data? Especially cancer hospitals?"

"Too much. We have our advantages. We are a medical device company and have inextricably linked cooperation with almost all hospitals in the country."

"That would be great." Min Hui smiled.

"What APIs and Tools have you used?"

"Matlab, Tensorflow, Docker, Node.js," Min Hui paused, and seeing that He Haixiang was silent, she had to continue, "C++, Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Ruby, Chef, Puppet, Ansible, Terraform —"

"It's done, it's enough." He Haixiang waved his hand, "Then can you tell us what kind of work you have been responsible for in your AI project?"

“Full stack development. From design to development to testing to deploying to the cloud.”

"Really?" He Haixiang's tone was full of doubt, "So capable? What's your project called?"

“BlackDot Project.”

He Haixiang opened his mouth in surprise, paused for two seconds, and looked at Cao Mu. Cao Mu pointed the CV with his finger and raised his eyebrows meaningfully.

"Final question: Where do you think your weak spots are?"

"What's the weak point?" Min Hui thought about it and said, "I can always find loopholes in other people's designs, and I always want to fix them to perfection. I can't help but want to redesign, so I design People on the team - I offended a lot."

After a minute of discussion between the two people in front of him, He Haixiang made a mark on the folder and said with a smile, "Min Hui, you have been hired. You are welcome to join Bai'an Technology. If there are no problems , your interview is over."

"Wait, I have something to explain," Min Hui stood up and said lightly, "I'm pregnant, do you mind?"

The eyes of both of them were fixed on her belly at the same time.

It's only been three months, and the lower abdomen is flat and flat, and I can't see it.

"This—" He Haixiang immediately said, "If you are pregnant, please forgive—"

"I don't mind." Cao Mu interrupted him and whispered a few more words in his ear, and regardless of He Haixiang's reluctance, he walked over to Min Hui and stretched out his right hand, "Welcome to Bai An, We will arrange a suitable workload for you according to your physical condition, and will try our best to provide convenience, don't worry, it will not tire you."

"Thank you, I'm honored." Min Hui shook her hand firmly, turned and walked out the door.
