Volume 2 Chapter 10 Foreign Enterprise Travel Notes Part 1
"What's that supposed to mean?" After knowing Qingchi was fine, Xiangyue felt relieved and at ease, as if she had put down a heavy burden. Questions also started popping up one after another.
"A refers to ASSEMBLY, T refers to TEST, meaning assembly and testing. As for X, it refers to the XXTEL company's nth SITE in Asia, got it?" En Qi just finished speaking, suddenly exclaimed: "Ah? You didn't fasten your seatbelt!" While saying that, she helped her sister fasten the seatbelt on her seat.
"Heavens... I've never heard of wearing a seatbelt on a public bus before..." Xinyue is speechless.
"XXTEL is very particular about SAFETY issues, and there are even more extreme ones in the company. When going up the stairs, you must hold onto the handrail, otherwise everyone will challenge you, especially if the boss sees you, then your salary won't be raised this year..."
Xīn Yuè opened her eyes wide and smiled, asking: "So severe? Isn't 'challenge' supposed to mean a challenge? Why do you want everyone to challenge you?"
"Hehe," Enqi smiled, "That's right, it does mean challenging, but here, many times it represents accusation and scolding, you have to decide according to the actual situation."
"Oh," Xiang Yue looked out the window and then asked, "I heard that XXTEL only has two packaging test plants in China, right? No FAB?"
Only then did Enqi's sister Zhang open her mouth wide, looking at Xiangyue in disbelief, and a large hand also followed, touching her younger sister's head.
"Really? You even know FAB? My baby sister has become so clever!"
It's really hard to tell whether she is being sarcastic or giving praise...
"That's right, FAB is a laboratory for producing WAFER (silicon crystal), it can also be called a factory. For XXTEL, there are only FABs in the US mainland, and all other places are packaging and testing plants."
When Enqi saw her sister looking at her with a curious face, she suddenly became interested and continued to talk enthusiastically. "Actually, what we do is labor-intensive industry. WAFERs are transported from FAB by air, cut into DIE (chips), and attached to SUBSTATE (circuit carrier). This process is just expanding the hundreds of leads on the DIE for easy connection with the motherboard. Then through gluing, high temperature, washing... and so on until the heat sink is attached. Oh, by the way! Notebook computer chips do not have a heat sink attached, only desktops do."
"Sister, I just wanted to ask," Xinyue covered her mouth and asked in a low voice: "Are those black shoulder bags that everyone is carrying IBM's T-series laptops? Why does everyone have one except you?"
"Who says I don't?!" En Qi almost shouted, then quietly buried her head and said in a low voice: "Do you know why the company gave you a laptop? It's to make you work overtime, and they won't even pay you overtime! So, hehe, I never bring that stupid thing back home."
"Sister," Xiangyue lowered her voice and whispered, "I feel that since I got on the car, many people have been staring at me. Is it already known that I'm not from your company?"
En Qi listened and covered her mouth with a smile.
Hehe, this little fool seems to lack basic self-awareness. I'll have to give her a good lesson another day. "Don't worry, don't be afraid, sis is here. Even if they find out you're not from our company, they won't dare do anything to you."
"It's easy for you to say...". Xinyue pouted, muttering a couple of sentences under her breath, then asked: "Sister, everyone has a small blue-striped card hanging from their neck, can't I have one too?"
"This... This is XXTEL's ID card, globally unified, non-employees of this company cannot have it. But don't worry, sister will help you get a VISITOR (visitor) badge later, it's purple and looks much better than this!" En Qi had a mischievous smile on her face.
Like this, Enqi enthusiastically explained all sorts of things about XXTEL, Xinyue listened attentively with her cheek in her hand, and before she knew it, a crowd had gathered around them. Everyone was smiling kindly and listening intently, some with wide eyes, others stretching their necks, and still others tilting their ears to the side...
Before long, the beauty's side was packed with people, and even a sister came over and plopped herself down without leaving.
Enqi smiled, this little guy's charm is too... In the future, I must be careful not to let someone easily deceive my sister away.
Walk into the grand hall with colorful lights, pass through the security checkpoint, and enter the elevator.
Be careful, the little boy jumped up and down excitedly, and there was a kind of inexplicable excitement. Although the original Qingchi was also a young master from a famous family, he had seen many scenes before, but coming to this super multinational company to play was still his first time.
The little beauty felt a bit guilty, coming and going, people seemed to always stare at herself, was it because of the visitor card she wore? It's really excessive...
Although it's a foreign company, the majority of employees are still Chinese, wearing either blue or green badges. My sister said that green represents employees from external companies who joined XXTEL as third-party staff. The blue badge is for formal employees. Here, regardless of whether you're an ordinary employee or a big shot like Autry (XXTEL's current CEO) or someone else, everyone wears the same blue badge. In XXTEL, there are no classes, and the idea of equality is deeply ingrained.
The elevator door opened, and the second floor was the office area of blue card employees. At a glance, it was neat and uniform, with workspaces of the same style and tone distributed like honeycombs. At first glance, it seemed dazzling, but in fact, it was compact and not messy.
Xin Yue was just curiously looking around when she was startled by a loud voice behind her.
"Wooo! Whose angel?" A big-bearded old American walked up, raising an eyebrow and asking.
Xīn Yuè felt a bit embarrassed, subconsciously hiding behind ēn Qí's back. But after hearing the conversation between the two, she almost fainted... One of them said, "Wow, whose little angel is this?" The other one actually replied, "Good morning, Bob, this little guy is mine!" She had endured the possessive relationship, but her sister actually used 'it' instead of 'she', not even treating herself as a human being... She cried.
