My story began when I was still in the womb. I am a girl from 1987. My hometown is in a village in Shangyu, Zhejiang. I have a brother who is two years older than me. Everyone should have guessed, yes, I am a super baby. Every time my parents tell the story of my birth, they are fascinated. It's not so much a narrow escape as that I should have my own life. My father named me "Chen Chao", which means I hope I can surpass others and become better. Later, every time someone introduced me, I would say, "My name is Chen Chao, and I am a super guerrilla." Everyone believed it.
Our family is a plastic Buddha statue, and all the people who go to the temple to worship are made by our family. So I followed my father everywhere since I was a child. Because I have a sweet mouth and am not afraid of strangers, my father likes to take me with him until I go to school. I have been a sensible girl since I was a child. After my grandfather died when I was a child, I stayed with my grandmother for a long time. Later, after grandpa got sick, I was worried that it was inconvenient for grandma to go up and down the stairs. The first thing I do after school is to deliver food to grandpa until he leaves ... so I can't hide the pain of the old man since he was a child.
Talk about reading.
Actually, I have no idea about reading. I just read in a daze and want to play. Anyway, my grades are good. In the countryside, I played a lot. Looking back now, it's all pictures of catching frogs, crabs, peaches, bamboo shoots, picking tea and raising silkworms with friends. Junior high school is still a noisy stage while reading, but by high school, I was already weak and my grades plummeted. It was also at that time that I felt a little inferior and felt that I was a particularly stupid person. Finally, I went to an ordinary university in Shanghai and studied a major I didn't know whether I liked it or not. However, when I was in college, I knew I didn't like design, because everyone's aesthetic is different from person to person. Unless you are authoritative enough, the work you made by staying up late is worthless in the eyes of others.
The turning point of the first half of life
After graduation, I opened a computer accessories store with my friends, worked as an assistant to the general manager, sold jewelry, and worked as a clothing store manager in the top shopping malls in Shanghai. Until July of 14, I went to a consulting company called Dewey on the recommendation of my friends. This is a major turning point in my life, and it is also my formal acceptance of various business studies and trainings. In my first year in the company, I was mainly responsible for collecting customer information of BMW, MINI and other brands at the auto show site. If you go to some big auto shows now, you are on the booth of a car brand, and a hostess is receiving you and asking about your car purchase intention and basic information. This is my face-to-face project.
A year later, I met some problems. Because of the expansion of the project and the different acceptance of this method in different parts of the country, I have encountered those difficult areas and my performance is not satisfactory. I still remember what the boss Shaq said at that time, "Joy, I don't think you are suitable for this project. Even if you are unlucky, it is true." This incident hit me hard.
However, life is like this, giving you a bomb and a surprise.
At that time, Porsche customers were not satisfied with the on-site control of the project leader of our company, so I was transferred to Porsche project. Become another turning point for me. I still remember that Porsche customers need to interview everyone involved in the project, and the company gave me half a day to prepare all the training materials about the project and system. Fortunately, my interview was successful, and I was recognized by my clients in my later work performance. I still remember that because of customer satisfaction, we got the opportunity to cooperate with other projects and needed new company members to join the project. At that time, the client told my supervisor that he hoped Joy's suggestions and wishes could be followed when selecting company personnel. The name of the female client is Michelle.
I am grateful that in those two years, I have changed from a person with little experience in the workplace to a person with strong logic, dedicated work and strong cross-departmental cooperation ability. It was also in those two years that I began to study and learned to get along with myself. Later, I completed the transformation from the exhibition project team to the internal training project team. There were two people during this period, and I was always grateful. One is Chris and the other is Hova. In these five years, I have done three different jobs in a company. Also in these years, I traveled all over the country on business, and I think everyone who has worked in the workplace can know the hardships and sadness. For example, turn off the last light of the company at 4 am; At 6 o'clock in the morning, the plane overlooks the morning of the city; Sleep for two hours, get up and continue to write the plan. Now that I think about it, it's all good memories.
An unexpected episode
In the spring of 20 18, I saw an invitation among college roommates to attend the memorial service for college teachers. The teacher's surname is Han, and the university teaches us C language. Teacher Han is very young, a few years older than us. The students all felt his death. Without saying anything, I contacted another university teacher and transferred 600 yuan for the teacher to give to Jenny. On the day of the memorial service, I took a taxi to the crematorium in Yangpu District, Shanghai. In the taxi, my heart has been echoing that "icing on the cake is easy, but it is difficult to send charcoal in the snow". I will always remember the first sentence Jenny said at the memorial service, "Husband, you have been away from us for a week ..." Everyone in the audience dared not look up for fear of tears. This matter, in my heart, planted a seed.
find it difficult to advance or to retreat―be in a dilemma/plight
In the adult world, you can't have both.
In Dewey's last year, I entered a period of thinking and confusion in my life …
I asked myself:
"Chen Chao, this kind of work intensity, how long can you do? If you can't always, what about later? "
"Chen Chao, the company's development has gradually stabilized, and it can't give you more nutrients and development. Where is your future? "
"Chen Chao, you have been in Shanghai for 10 years, and you haven't got a family and don't have much savings. In 10 years? "
With these problems, I decided to go to Hangzhou to develop! ! My idea is simple. You can find another job, but so should people who have used it all their lives. Hangzhou is also half of my hometown, with similar humanities and strong urban inclusiveness. You can choose a slow-paced day to go sightseeing, or you can walk in various parks at a fast pace.
When I was looking for a job in Hangzhou on the Internet, I met a metropolis.
