Small Yu university after graduation into a large company internship, can stay in the company to work is his biggest wish, but he was arranged to work in the company's printing room, all day is not to do forms is to copy data.

After working for less than a week, Xiaoyu was in deep trouble. This thought that the university student who graduated from the famous university can be divided into an important position in the company, which can not only exercise themselves but also reflect personal value, but contrary to his wishes, he felt a little overqualified.

To make the job even more annoying, someone in the company called her "cousin" and "Indian Emperor", and a sense of lack of recognition arose. Every time he met his classmates and friends, he cried out: "This work has no technical content, it is what people can do, boring dead people!"

Together with him, there is a girl, named Wang Xia. This "cousin" is a calm appearance. Always print out the required forms and make as many copies as you need each day. When it was all over, I just sat there staring at the screen and playing on the computer.

Xiao Yu thought: "Play, play, do not consider their future, is a responsible girl film."

At the end of the three-month internship, it's time to decide whether to stay or leave. Xiaoyu thinks his chances of staying at the company are slim.

When the personnel director of the company announced the list of retained personnel, he was surprised to find that Wang Xia was the first to be retained, and was appointed as the deputy director of the office! He was even a little angry at this point, but although he had complained inside, still completed the task assigned to him on time. It's not fair that an intern who spends all her time playing computer games should be promoted to such an important position, but she should leave immediately!

Unwilling to find the boss of the company to ask a clear, in the office, the boss opened the computer, the content of the display let small Yu surprised unceasingly. Originally, this was Wang Xia during their internship at the company every day to print paper total statistics, she made pages of PPT.

The distribution of printing volume in five days is not the same. On Monday, 462 sheets were used, on Tuesday, 543 sheets were used, on Wednesday, 786 sheets were used, on Thursday, more than 400 sheets were used, on Friday, 573 sheets were used, and there was a slight fluctuation here. And then you do it again the next week, and you do it a couple of times, and you see that the fluctuations are the same.

Next, Wang Xia counted how many copies of the daily printing paper are drafting documents, how many copies are official documents, and made a second-page PPT chart, which is the proportion of the first day is drafting documents, how many copies are printed on official documents so that you can see a composition of paper sources.

After she finished the composition, she calculated how much she could save on average by printing all drafts on both sides. Finally, a total level of cost savings is calculated.

Small Yu eyes of the girl film "play computer" originally play is this!

The boss said to Xiao Yu, "An intern can make printing and copying so clear and transparent, with information and data, as well as solutions, and can make input-output evaluations. To manage this little thing to this level, my first reaction is that she can be an office manager in the future!"

Xiao Yu after listening to the flushed, since sigh, happily out of the boss's office.

If you drown your passion in petty complaints at the beginning of your career, you won't be recognized by your boss, no matter how bright your background is. The matter at hand in your eyes no matter how ordinary and simple, doing ordinary things well, is extraordinary; Doing simple things well, is not simple. Like Wang Xia, the ultimate in printing paper to make themselves stand out. Putting yourself down, doing what you're doing well, and doing it to the best, is the way to win.
