My interview to two companies

I've been free for 3 days, but I don't think anybody would like this status/situation, I'm free means I lost my job and has noting to afford my daily life (RMB540 per month, bus fee, three meals cost every day). Although I've prepared to be a free man a long time, but the daily cost is really a big expense for me in this city. Fortunely, I passed the first interview when I came to Ningbo the second day, I think i'm lucy and told tina I would not attend other interviews(there would be another 4 interviews), Tina said I'm easy to be content and the treatment is not very good for me,who has 3 years working experance, and more, the products of bathroom accessories are not easy to do, her remark reminded me of my original thought before I quiting my previous job, I always don't want to enter two fields: textile and bathroom products, yes, there're too many factories in china doing this business, it's so different to get a percentage from these two market. But after my communication with the HR and another sales, I think this company would be my choice, the work in this company is flexible and I can do what I want to develop my business, although there're no platform yet e.g. Alibaba and has no plan to attend any fair, but I can see the potential in near future, what I need is chance and time, and I hate to take the bus every day, it affects my mood so much and wasting my time and energy too. I must put most of my time and energy to my work instead of waiting and taking bus.

But I'm not very sure whether the company is good enough as I thought, I'll see.

The second intervies is so disappointed, the office is in a new building, as soon as I entered into the office and saw the boss, I told myself he is a upstart, espically the gold necklace and fat body on the seat. He asked another girl to interview me and this girl knows nothing about international trade and regarding testing my english, she don't know how to interview my english, just let me introduce something happening in Canton fair. I finished this interview quickly and told me I can go to the Elin company without much regret.

I got flu,but not H1N1

I got flu 3 days ago because of catching cold when I worked in workshop for around 2 days, I didn't pay more attention to it although too many people are in the horror of H1N1, I'm absolutely not N1N1 patent, all of my sysptoms are not in accordence with N1N1, so I'm not afraid, and more, I'm not affected by someone else but the weather.

When I had lunch this moon with other three person in the same table: Manager Chen, Wang gengfu, Pan xiulian. I told them i'm a little uncomfortable with my nose, I got a little flu, I found sunddenly suspicious look from Wang and Pan, as I'm a H1N1 infected person, they two asked me whether I went to outside before, and Pan is more rediculous, she said one person had died because of H1N1in Ninghai County, such a rummor! I don't want to sit there any more minute, I had to choose one dish they didn't eat to my bowl, as I expected, these two jerks never touched the dish any more after I touched it. But manager Chen ate something from the dish I touched just now, I felt better for his beheavor.

After having a little lunch, I borrowed a piece of ginger from our chef/cook Zhu and went back to my dorm, I boiled it and drank for cups until i'm too full to drink anymore.

I hope I'll be OK this afternoon, I don't want Tina to be infected by me.

I'm moved by some gifts

Today I feel better about leaving this company, I arranged my personal goods this noon,in this afternoon, I accompanied with the inspector to inspect Mary's order, the inspection process goes successfully, I'm happy to see everybody around me are happy, I dreamed of the day when I leave this company, everyone is happy and my company's business is very good, now I think I got it.

Minutes ago, Mary gave me a gift(egg steamed machine) and thanks for my help to her, I'm moved at that moment, the same feeling when some months ago, when I helped her arranging the showroom and she gave me a climbing backpack. I'm so easily to be moved by even a little act or beheave or small gift, these little give is much less than what I put in, but I just think it worth my work, I think what everybody need is not just material goods but physhic reward

I'm an extra now

After submitting my resignation yesterday and quited my job successfully, I'm an extra now, it's my feeling at least.From this morning till now, nobody asked me to do anything, everyone know I'll leave right now, i'm a little unaccustomed, this feeling is so bad, I even feel I'm deserted by my company. I want to leave here asap, considering the hand over is very simple, I plan to leave early next week, so disscussed with Alex and hope he can help me deal with my left thing, after having a long chat with Alex, I'm so shocked by him and his beheavors,he is working with a factory located in Ningbo city Beilun district, who made carbon tubes, Alex contacted with them when he looked for carbon suppliers, and he was inspired by somebody and decided to take commission from this factory and worked as the sales of this company, now he've introduced a client to place a trial order to this factory, and he need to go to this factory this afternoon with client to inspect the goods, it's really unbelievable for me, I always thought he is a strict man and do everything over-rigidly, but now I know I'm absolutely wrong. And more, he has plan to Dalian at the end of this month, to do something for his old brother, he and susan would got RMB10000.00 if thing goes succesfully, if not, they would travel in Dalian as a business trip. I'm one year older than him, but I still have some gap with him, I have to work harder.

Sanmin is a beautiful memory

Yesterday afternoon, I drafted my resignation and prepared to submit it to Mary before off duty, but considering she was too busy at that time, I gave up and planed to re-submit at a proper time next day. I didn't tell my real reason to quit my job, I wrote that I have to go home because of personal reason: my parents are both old and in poor health, I'm 27 years old already and had to make a long-term progrem for my future life, hope to leave SANMIN within this month.

I suddenly had a sad feeling after printing my resignation and got it in my hand, I thought i should be happy at this time, but now I'm a little sad,  yes, I've worked for this company 3 years, I spent my precious time in this company, I grew up from a graduate knowing nothing to a qualified salesman, from a young boy to a man, from a introverted student to a sociable person, from a single to a unsingle. I learned much in both knowledge and how to be, it's really a big wealth in my future life and work. Although there're many unhappy things during my 3 years, but at the time I would leave it, i just forgot all the unhappy thing, it's such a beautiful place to live, I knew many friends in this company and keep good relationship with all of them.

It's a happy time for the 3 years I lived and worked in SANMIN, I appreciate it give me a beautiful memory in my future life.

End of freedom

Today is the end of our freedom time, Mary would come back very soon this afternoon,but it's not a bad news for me and Xiaohu, she and I had expected the date when Mary would leave to Guangzhou city for about 1 week, we thought we would own absolute freedom during these days,but it turned to be the opposite, just as Xiaohu described in her QQ signuture line "we got more pressure and work after her leaving to Guangzhou".

In the first day after she left, I got nearly 20 calls from her, she didn't take laptop because of unconvenience, but as the director of our company, she actually owns many titles such as purchaser,sales,account,manager, she has so many things need to do everyday through telephone and internet, and more her order is in production these days, she worried so much about her order, what she can do is operate me to deal every thing through telephon, including: modify the chemical report and confirm it with customer, confirm color board with customer,pack and send sample to customers,and more, I need to check her inbox all the time and reply according what her meaning,I'm busy on refreshing the web of her inbox and do other things according what she said in the telephone, I'm really much more busier than when she's in company, Xiaohu is in the same situation with me, she is not allowed to make any mistake,because the recent orders are all L/C payment, it's very easy to be rufused if any error exists in the documents.

The most important thing to me is how to quit my job successfully next week.
