One of Chen's roommates has just returned from an interview.

Did you work it out, then?

Of course, absolutely.

And the result?

I'm waiting for the second round.

Another round? Was this the first round?

It's the kind of company I want to apply for. It gives formal interviews.

I tried so many companies, but no one gave me an interview.

It irritates me.

I got nothing out of it when I was there.

Hello! Yes.

Let me see my phone.

Why doesn't it ring? Did I leave the wrong number?

The insurance company didn't hire Chen. So he began to send out CVs again.

Call me.

I was wondering if something was wrong with my phone.

I just wanted to confirm.

All right, it's OK.

It means you didn't get an interview.

It's only Monday.

Interview, I want an interview.

I have a major shortcoming, I'm too high profile.

You know what I did in the company?

My previous manager was very good to me.

He arranged accommodation and some other things for me.

Originally, I rarely voiced an opinion.

But after the top boss came to our meetings I often expressed my opinion.

My manager said I was too high-profile.

Who said it? The top boss?

My manager.

He said, you've been pushing yourself forward recently,

Yes.

There are some hidden rules that you don't necessarily have to abide by,

but you have to understand them.

I did understand them, but I think the major reason I was fired

wasn't that I went against the hidden rules.

Even if I didn't violate the hidden rules,

I needed to balance the interpersonal relationships, right?

I was too high-profile.

Too much is the same as too little.

Rao Fang had worked in Shanghai for 2 months before, selling software.

But he was eventually fired.

You can't put your direct boss in an embarrassing position by stating your opinion.

You should say something neutral and point out problems that are easily dealt with.

If you're too blunt and sum something up in only a few points, they may be embarrassed.

It's not good for you.

So, I find the hidden rules disgusting.

I think you're not a good employee if you're always embarrassing your managers in meetings.

He means that you're on a knife's edge, and if you want to develop successfully, you must avoid such things as jealousy, right?

It's the only way to succeed.

We have many talented salespeople in China, but can they always behave like that in meetings?
