On August 22, “Singing China” program successfully completed the national competition tour and returned to Beijing .

In another 7 days, on August 29, the final match of “Singing China”, that is, the national top 10 finals will be held in the newly opened T1 studio of Beijing Satellite TV .

But on the same day, Xiangnan Satellite TV’s “Super Singer” just ended, and their ratings barely exceeded 4% . (TN: meaning on August 22)

The newcomer, Ling Xiaoxiao, who had been highly praised, didn’t perform well in the final and only finished fifth .

In the battle between the major satellite TV’s ace variety show, the first season of “Singing China” triumphed over “Super Singer” .

“Singing China” knockout competition that was broadcasted live on the 20th in Bihai Stadium, had a 5 . 76% audience rating . The industry speculated that the final national finals should be able to easily break the 6% mark, or even hopefully hit the 7% mark .

Whether it is 6% or 7%, it’s a victory that Beijing Satellite TV deserves to be proud of!!

Lu Chen, one of the top 10 national singers, also returned to Beijing with the program group .

In fact, he could have stayed in Bihai for two more days, but there were so many things going on in Beijing that he can only come and go in a hurry, and had no time to really enjoy the beauty of the tropical islands in the South China Sea .

Work and responsibility, like an invisible whip, are pushing Lu Chen forward .

It’s still far from being able to lie down and enjoy .

On his second day back in Beijing, Lu Chen personally interviewed a job seeker in his studio .

Chen Xiang, 22 years old, graduated from Fangshan University, majoring in computer application . He has been in Beijing for more than a year and is currently working as a programmer in an online company .

Fangshan University belongs to the three domestic universities in China, which is a third-rate university, and its educational level is very low .

In a city full of talented people, he can’t even count as a small shrimp in the sea, and it is almost impossible for him to find a good job . It should be known that even a graduate like Lu Chen has ran into a wall in the beginning .

Although the recruitment requirements of Lu Chen Studio are not high, they are not as low as this .

To put it bluntly, three-legged toads are hard to find, but college students with two legs are everywhere in Beijing!

But Chen Xiang’s academic record is still very good . He got a scholarship year after year in college . He worked very hard in Beijing . His work performance was remarkable, or at least a little unexpected .

Most importantly, Chen Xiang also has a special identity . He is a member of Lu Chen’s fan group, Lu Family Army .

And a senior hardcore fan! (TN: meaning he’s been a fan since the beginning)

He contacted Lu Chen through Li Feiyu and came over for an interview .

“Why do you want to work here?”

Lu Chen asked curiously, “Your future on my side is certainly not as good as your current company . ”

Although the company that Chen Xiang currently works for is not a big company, it belongs to a real IT company . It belongs to the kind of emerging company with great potential for development .

In terms of professional nature and career prospects, it is far better than Lu Chen’s small studio .

In looking for a job, in addition to the conditions of treatment, promotion channels and career prospects are also very important .

Lu Chen Studio is a small group that specializes in serving Lu Chen himself . At present, the network management personnel recruited are mainly responsible for the construction and maintenance of the studio’s website, and take into account network marketing .

Lu Chen has no intention of expanding the studio into a large company for the time being, so the requirement for candidates is stability and reliability .

However, most young people, especially Beijing drifters, come to Beijing to work mostly with the dream of a career . The small Lu Chen Studio is obviously unable to meet their desire to make progress .

In this regard, Lu Chen has been frank and candid with any interviewer, and will not deceive and mislead others .

When he first came to Beijing to look for a job, he met such an unscrupulous company and he almost fell into it .

Lu Chen was very disgusted with this .

During his tour away from Beijing, Lu Xi had interviewed a number of job seekers, but the other party was either proud or arrogant, or has poor level of ability . So far, no suitable candidate has been found .

A truly outstanding talent will not yield to an obscure personal studio .

“I know…”

Chen Xiang said with a wry smile, “But with my educational background, I can only be at the bottom of the company . I’m not going to get promoted . I don’t get paid very much for overtime every day . All I do is to repeat the boring work, unable to improve myself . ”

“So, I want to try in the studio, at least you’re here Brother Chen, and I can do more work independently . I also have the time and opportunity to continue learning and enrich myself . I will certainly work hard . ”

He graduated from college one year earlier than Lu Chen, the same age as Lu Chen, but was born two months younger than Lu Chen .

Lu Chen and Lu Xi looked at each other, and the latter nodded slightly .

Originally, the recruitment of staff should be done by Lu Xi, but Chen Xiang’s situation is a bit special, coupled with professional reasons, so Lu Chen had to test him himself .

But Lu Chen should also respect his sister’s wishes .

Lu Xi had no objection .

Chen Xiang is thin, tall, and plain looking . He is obviously not a person with a glib tongue . It can be seen that he has a good character and belongs to the kind of employee who is willing to work hard .

His education and ability may not be very strong, but it is enough for the current Lu Chen studio .

Lu Chen thought for a moment and said, “Well, since you’ve made up your mind, come to my side and have a try . ”

The same major, coupled with similar experience of being a Beijing drifter, made Lu Chen have a sense of identity with Chen Xiang .

Then why not let him try it?

Chen Xiang was immediately relieved: “Great, thank you, Brother Chen . ”

He couldn’t help but smile .

Lu Xi added: “You’ll first be in a probationary period for half a month . After the probationary period, we will sign a formal contract . ”

“The monthly salary of the formal treatment is 3,500 yuan, plus the five social insurances and housing fund, board and lodging allowance is 500 yuan, and performance benefit and year-end reward are calculated separately . if there is no problem, let’s sign the trial employment contract first . ”

She asked, “Do you have any questions?”

“No!”

Chen Xiang hurriedly answered, “No problem, no problem!”

The treatment is already better than his current company, and the half-month probationary period is very generous .

Many companies recruit new people, and the probationary period is usually as long as three months, which is the maximum period set by the law .

Then, for three months, only the minimum wage guarantee was given, and the new recruits will be worked like cattle and horse under the pretense of training exercise . Finally, they refused to sign a formal contract for a various reason and kicked them out .

Chen Xiang had been tricked before when he was looking for a job before and was cheated .

Half a month probationary period is really too kind!

He secretly made up his mind to work well here .

Lu Xi smiled and said, “No problem . Then when can you come to work?”

Chen Xiang said, “I can come tomorrow!”

He was so eager that Lu Chen and Lu Xi were both stunned .

Lu Chen was surprised: “Can you resign so soon?”

The normal resignation process usually takes ten days or half a month to complete, or even several months .

Unless it’s a temporary job .

Chen Xiang said with a wry smile, “I offended the project team leader . He wanted me to leave, so I can resign tomorrow . ”

Chen Xiang himself could not tell exactly where he had offended him .

Since taking office, the other party has always seen him as an eye sore, often with eyebrows raised, telling him what to do about his work, and will sneer a few times from time to time .

It was just that the job was not easy to come by, so Chen Xiang silently endured it .

Yesterday was supposed to be his day off, but he was caught working overtime by the supervisor and got scolded .

Chen Xiang was really angry and the two got into an argument . The relationship between the two sides was completely broken, so even if he did not take the initiative to resign, he would not last long in the company .

After the argument, Chen Xiang remembered that Li Feiyu had mentioned in the live broadcast that Lu Chen had opened a studio, so he asked for contact information with the idea of giving it a try and asked if there was a need for professional-related staff .

Luckily for him, Lu Chen’s studio was really recruiting network manager .

Lu Chen said: “There is no need to be in such a hurry, we’ll give you three days to work it out, finish what you started . Anyway, this job is yours . ”

Chen Xiang nodded hard and said, “Yes!”

In fact, in Chen Xiang’s heart, there is something that he didn’t say to Lu Chen .

That was, yesterday, at the time when he had an argument with the project team leader, the reason why he couldn’t control his emotions was because he listened to Lu Chen’s song “Chasing Dream With A Childlike Heart” that night .

It was this song that awakened his blood that he has been suppressing!

Chen Xiang can endure hard and tedious work, and he can endure unfair and discriminatory treatment .

But he also has dignity!

Coming to Lu Chen’s studio today, Chen Xiang is with the idea of breaking the boat, if he couldn’t pass the interview here, he will go back to his hometown, and never come back . (TN: Breaking the boat – the same as “burning one’s bridge” or there’s no turning back . He didn’t plan to go back to his company)

But Lu Chen gave him a chance to start over .

After Chen Xiang was sent away, Lu Chen went to Nirvana Studio .

Both studios are in the same park and are only 10 minutes’ walk from each other, so it is convenient .

Lu Chen’s debut album has been under intense production . Nirvana Studio even attaches more importance to it than he does . Whether it’s composing or accompaniment, they have been striving for perfection . Since the beginning of the month, Lu Chen has been running outside with the program group, so the production of the album has inevitably been affected, but the work of Nirvana Studio has not been interrupted .

Now that he’s back, he will naturally have to pull back the lag .

This album carries Lu Chen’s first musical dream .

If there’s no accident, he’s going to release his debut album next month, September!
