Standing in the clean and tidy corridor, I nervously tidyed up my somewhat crumpled collar, and waited for the sky blue door next to it to open. On the threshold, the six words "General Manager's Office" were written in bright red Song typeface.
After a while, the door rang "Kacha", and a young woman in a professional suit walked out, looked around, and finally fell on me: "Are you Mr. Hou San?"
"Yes, yes." I nodded quickly.
The young woman stepped aside and made a "please" gesture with a steady tone: "The manager is already waiting inside, please go in."
I smiled at her and walked into the office.
The space inside is very spacious. The large floor-to-ceiling windows make the whole room look very bright. A middle-aged woman who also wears professional attire is looking at the documents in her hand. Seeing me come in, she raises her head, two sharp eyes I looked at one side from start to finish, and spit out two words: "Please sit down."
Nodded and thanked, I sat nervously on the chair at the desk and was about to introduce myself, but the middle-aged woman across from me spoke again.
"Mr. Hou San, I have read your information. You wrote in the work experience column that you have done a similar job. I would like to ask, which supermarket did you do it in?" Middle-aged woman fine The long eyebrows were raised high, showing a questioning expression.
I quickly replied: "It's a small private supermarket. Of course it can't be compared with this one, but you can rest assured that I can get started quickly and I am familiar with the supermarket process. If you agree, I can go to work tomorrow."
With a "pop", closing the folder in her hand, the middle-aged woman's expression was cold, her mouth raised slightly, with a trace of disdain and mockery: "Mr. Hou San, our supermarket is a well-known large supermarket chain in the country. It’s not the kind of roadside fly shop that can be compared. Besides, I’m afraid your physique is not suitable for this job, so please find another job!"
With a bitter face, I don’t know if I said the wrong thing, or if the other party really feels that I can’t adapt to this kind of physical work, so I can only smile at the middle-aged woman in a low voice, "Don’t be like this, manager, like this. You can try me for a few days first, and you don’t need to be paid, just take care of the food!
"I don't think it's necessary, sorry, I have something to do, please leave." The middle-aged woman was already covered with frost on her face, and she looked down at another document.
As soon as the middle-aged woman finished speaking, the young woman who had been guarding the door immediately opened the door and signaled that I could go out.
Seeing the other party, I didn’t have the slightest meaning to discuss. I had no choice but to stand up and go out, and was taken by the security guard through the winding corridor. I had just stepped out on the front foot, and the iron door behind me "banged". With a slam shut, it almost didn't hit my heel, which made me feel aggrieved, and I didn't dare to smash the door in the public.
This is a small alley that is not considered remote, not spacious, but it is also clean and tidy. There are passers-by who take shortcuts passing through here in twos and threes, looking at me curiously.
With my hands in my pockets, I wandered out of the alley, looking at the large supermarket several stories high on the side of the road, shaking my fist fiercely, and cursing in a low voice: "Isn't it just a broken shop? Is the job of a porter in a supermarket, brother is not rare!"
I said it happily. After I finished speaking, my heart became heavy again. I broke my fingers and counted: This has been my 25th job-hunting failure. The streets and alleys in this city can be said to be lethargic.
I ran, but I didn’t even find a job as a probationary worker. Seeing that the money in your pocket is getting less and less, is it possible to learn from others to sell insurance
Thinking of this, I immediately shook my head, shook off the terrible thought, took out my phone and started to scan the job search website.
Knowing that night was coming, I dragged my tired body back to my residence.
As soon as I entered the door, I collapsed and rested, and my stomach screamed. This was protesting that I did not fill it up for lunch and dinner. Among the two choices of hunger and sleepiness, I hesitated for a while, I still appointed Got up and walked into the kitchen.
Take out a packet of instant noodles and start boiling the noodles.
"Does it need to behave like this for money?" A cold voice suddenly appeared in my ear.
It’s also good to be nervous. For example, I’m not startled by the ghost in red at all. I looked back lazily at the red figure floating in the air, and then turned my attention to the front of my eyes and started braving. On the hot kettle.
Tear the package, put the seasoning, let go of the water, close the lid, and wait for three minutes. The delicious instant noodles are about to be completed.
After swallowing, I looked expectantly at the food that was about to enter my abdomen.
"With your current ability, why bother to deal with those people, you can do other things, the money comes quickly, and the status is high." It is estimated that seeing me ignore her, the red ghost girl floated to my side. He tilted his head slightly.
I was idle, I glanced at her: "For example?"
Hearing my conversation, the girl in red seemed a little excited, and the crackling was a series of words: "For example, continue to be a private investigator. Have you done this before? You can help the police investigate the case? You can hell. Isn’t it easy to understand the whole story of the case?"
Hearing this, I slapped my forehead, and sighed that my thinking was a bit stubborn, and I thought of myself as the previously useless Hou San who didn't understand anything, and didn't think about it at all.
Excited, I became discouraged again: "The idea is good, but I don't know the people from the police station, so I rushed to the door, and the other party thought I was a lunatic or a fool."
"I can help you with this matter, as long as you pay a small price." The red ghost's voice became more and more low, obviously wanting to ** I agreed.
I smashed my mouth. I bit my lower lip and felt a little emotional, but just to be on the safe side, I still asked: "First, what is your so-called'small price'? You don't tell me about it. Don't think about it."
The red ghost was stunned, and finally her lips trembled, and she cursed: "You haven't learned much about the old Taoist priest. You have learned a lot of his disadvantages! Forget it, it's okay to tell you, you Go to a construction site and buy a newspaper at a designated time."
After waiting for a while, after confirming that the ghost in red had finished speaking, I turned my head to look at her in confusion: "That's all for it? Is it that simple?"
"What? Do you think it's easy? I'm happy to attach a little more condition..." The red ghost's face sank after a brush, and her tone became gloomy.
I hurriedly reached out to stop her from continuing, and laughed flatteringly: "Don't don't, this trading condition is pretty good, but it's too tired today, let me think about it again."
The air in the kitchen seemed to become cold all at once, and I couldn't help but shiver, rubbing
After rubbing the goose bumps on his arm, the flattering smile on his face deepened by three points to express his sincerity.
Finally, with a cold snort, the figure of the ghost in red disappeared like smoke, and the temperature in the kitchen instantly returned to normal. I was relieved, holding the instant noodles cautiously and started eating stand up.
With the gradual reduction of noodles, the hunger began to disappear, and the desire to make money filled my mind, especially the content of the transaction proposed by the ghost in red, which immediately made my heart fascinated, but the lessons too much made me not Dare to underestimate the content of this little transaction, who knows what hole the red ghost has dug in it waiting for me to drill? So, thinking about something, I just don’t want to tear my face with the red ghost directly, for fear that she will be so angry that she will tear me up!
Putting the empty bowl of instant noodles heavily on the table, I lay down on the sofa, and decided in my heart that I would continue the long job search.
The feeling of fullness brought by the food made me a little drowsy. At this moment, the phone rang on the table.
"Jing Ling Ling..." At this time, it will definitely not be the recruiting unit who called me, who would it be
With this question, I stretched my arms and half lifted up and grabbed the phone in my hand. Seeing the electric display, I immediately sat upright and opened the answer button: "Hey, mom, it's so late, you call What's the matter here?"
"Three, your dad..." My mother's voice came from the phone, crying, and she choked quietly, and from the other side of the phone there was a faint "Bed No. 235, it's time for an infusion" voice.
I immediately guessed: "Mom, don't worry, is my dad sick? Are you in the hospital? What did the doctor say?"
"Three, a few days ago, your dad suddenly fainted. We immediately sent him to the hospital. Today, the situation stabilized with great difficulty, and people woke up. The old man wouldn’t let me tell you about his hospitalization. I was afraid. You are worried, but the hospitalization fee has almost bottomed out..." As I said, my mother's voice became smaller and smaller, as if the words behind it were hard to tell.
I interrupted her immediately and comforted her: "I know, Mom, I'll pay back later, don't worry about the hospital bill, you can take care of my dad with peace of mind. For money, there is me!"
Anyway, I finally persuaded my mother to stop, as soon as I hung up the phone, I started to dig through the boxes, gathered the bank cards hidden at home, sorted out all the savings, put them together, and sent them all back home.
After doing all this, I was exhausted physically and mentally, and I fell asleep until I was woken up by the alarm clock the next day.
I got up and finished washing. I picked up the phone to see if there was any news about the interview. After seeing the balance of the bank card, I later realized that there was a very important thing: there was no dime on the bank card. What about the food expenses this month
I fumbled up and down unwillingly. The few red tickets in my pocket couldn't last for a few days. I suddenly lay down on the sofa in frustration, and even the strength to go out disappeared.
It’s hard to die. At this time, someone knocked on the door. I got up listlessly and opened the door. As a result, the old Taoist stooped in and walked in and said, “Why are you so dejected in the early morning? What’s your kid? Up?"
I was in a bad mood, and I didn't bother to play tricks with him, so I recounted the events of the past two days.
"Hey, I thought it was a big deal, isn't it just money, Master will help you." The old Taoist twisted his beard and slapped me nonchalantly.
