Because a beauty like Zhao Ziqiu is too eye-catching and can easily cause trouble, Li Mu decided to take her to a safer place to eat something, such as McDonald's.
There was a McDonald's on the road between Yan University and Renmin University. Li Mu drove the car in front of the door, parked the car within the line, and walked in with Zhao Ziqiu.
After roughly asking Zhao Ziqiu what she wanted to eat, Li Mu asked her to find a seat first. He went to the counter to order. He stood in front of the counter and said hello to the waiter who was preparing the meal with his back turned. Turning around, Li Mu was startled.
It's Hu Zhengdao.
When Hu Zhengdao saw that it was Li Mu, there was nothing unnatural in his expression. After a moment of surprise, he smiled and said, "When did the third brother come back?"
Li Muxin said that it turned out that Hu Zhengdao came to work at McDonald's. He smiled slightly and said, "I've been here since the morning. I heard from the sixth man that you were working part-time outside, but I didn't expect you to be here."
Hu Zhengdao glanced at other colleagues not far away and said in a low voice: "It's not bad here. From now on, you can come here and work for three to four hours every night. Students will pay two and six yuan an hour."
In 2001, two yuan and six an hour should be the minimum wage standard in Yanjing. It seems that companies like McDonald's usually provide part-time salary at the local minimum wage line, sometimes even lower, and this The work is not easy and very tiring.
A college student like Hu Zhengdao, who usually attends classes for one day and works part-time for three or four hours after class in the evening, can only earn ten yuan at most, which is too boring.
But Li Mu couldn't see any dissatisfaction on Hu Zhengdao's face. He even had a simple smile of satisfaction on his face when he said this number.
This student from northern Shaanxi had never thought that he could earn ten yuan in Yanjing by working out four hours a day. This was much higher than their local income level. Moreover, he even thought that he would be able to earn it in the future. By working at McDonald's, I am self-sufficient and don't need to pay for living expenses from my family.
Li Mu was a little sad, but he was even more determined to get the 3321 project online as soon as possible.
Hu Zhengdao asked Li Mu at this time: "Did you come here by yourself? What do you want to eat?"
Li Mu then said: "I came here with Zhao Ziqiu and just picked her up from the airport."
Hu Zhengdao asked in surprise: "Oh, you two are getting along?"
Li Mu waved his hand: "No, don't talk nonsense to your partner, the girl is thin-skinned."
Hu Zhengdao said: "You know that people are thin-skinned, why don't you settle this matter quickly?"
At this time, the restaurant manager asked Hu Zhengdao in a stern tone: "Hu Zhengdao, is this customer your friend?"
Just as Hu Zhengdao was about to explain, Li Mu said, "The customer is asking him what's delicious."
After saying that, he whispered to Hu Zhengdao: "Order for me first, and we'll talk about it when we get back in the evening."
After ordering, Li Mu asked Hu Zhengdao while waiting for the meal: "Does Wang Yanan know about your part-time job?"
"I know." Hu Zhengdao said calmly: "I mainly want to make some money and buy a cheap mobile phone so that I can contact her later. When people are in love, text messages come and go every day. The two of us can only make phone calls in the dormitory. I always feel that Sorry for her."
Li Mu smiled slightly: "I understand."
Li Mu accompanied Zhao Ziqiu to dinner and then sent Zhao Ziqiu back to school. Although Zhao Ziqiu had been implicitly telling Li Mu that he had nothing to do when he returned to the dormitory, and conveyed in a subtle way that he wanted to stay with him for a while longer, Li Mu still found an excuse. , saying that he was in a hurry to return the car, and there was another fellow who wanted to trouble him.
Zhao Ziqiu was a little disappointed when Li Mu sent him back to Yanda. Then Li Mu didn't bother to return the car, but drove directly back to Yucheng Garden. The 3321 project plan made him unable to bear it any longer.
Yucheng Garden is Li Mu's little world. When he is immersed in it, Li Mu feels that the world only consists of himself, his computer and the Internet. This feeling makes him feel particularly satisfied and relaxed. However, at about 9:30 in the evening, the whole city seems to Everything was boiling at this moment.
Li Mu opened the window and found that many people had gathered on the street playing gongs and drums, and there were more and more people. There were even firecrackers. Looking into the distance, there were also scenes of fireworks rising into the sky. He was a little surprised. Today But on the last day of vacation, everyone should be in a low mood, right? What are you excited about at this time
At this time, Li Yawei sent a text message to the three people who had mobile phones in the dormitory: "Have you watched TV? The national team has qualified for the World Cup!"
Li Mu suddenly remembered, oh! Yes, tonight at Wulihe Stadium in Northeast China, the Chinese national football team defeated Oman to advance to the World Cup finals for the first time.
But it’s really disappointing to think about it. 1.3 billion people were excited to see them off to the World Cup. They came back in despair after losing all three games in nine games in front of the world’s attention. It really made the mentality of the Chinese people feel a complete shock. roller coaster.
At this time in his previous life, Li Mu, who was studying in Jinling University, was also very excited. He went to the streets to march and shout with his classmates to celebrate the national team's first World Cup. However, in this life, Li Mu really couldn't bring himself to be excited. Tonight , Li Mu may be the only one among the Chinese fans who doesn't feel excited.
…
Classes started the next day, and Li Mu was a little absent-minded all day long. His mind was filled with the 3321 tutoring project for college students. During lunch, Li Mu happened to run into Dou Xueli, a fellow from Haizhou whom he met at the fellows meeting before the holiday, in the cafeteria. They said hello to each other, and then Just sit and eat together naturally.
Li Mu was thinking about 3321, so he asked Dou Xueli: "Xueli, have you ever thought about doing some part-time work?"
Dou Xueli blurted out: "Of course I have thought about it. My family only gives me 300 yuan for living expenses a month, which is not enough. Last night, a few buddies in the dormitory had a dinner together, and each person spent dozens of dollars on a meal. If this pace continues, the three A hundred yuan is enough to live for half a month, but things in Yanjing are also expensive, and Internet access is only two or three yuan an hour."
With that said, Dou Xueli asked Li Mu: "Do you also want to work part-time?"
Li Mu nodded vaguely and asked, "Have you ever thought about doing anything?"
Dou Xueli said: "Part-time jobs outside school are too hard, and part-time jobs on campus are a bit shameless, so I want to find out if there are any junior high school students near our school who need extra classes. I plan to write a small advertisement first and post it in nearby communities."
Li Mu nodded and asked curiously: "Does our school also offer part-time work-study programs?"
Dou Xueli said to Li Mu: "Yes, the student union has a "student assistance" project, which was started by a vice president. Many things in daily life are the responsibility of the senior Wu Shuai from the last fellow student union. Yesterday he was in "One "Shaochibian" posted a post saying that the "Student Aid Helper" has a number of work-study positions within the school, and also said that interested students can apply to him."
Li Mu asked curiously: "Is the student union responsible for helping students? Where do they get their jobs?"
Dou Xueli smiled and said: "I'm not sure, maybe I applied from the tutor. For example, Qiuzhen building needs three assistants to organize documents and information, send and receive files, etc. The audio-visual education building also needs several assistants, and There are libraries and reference rooms that also need help, and these positions are now under the control of Commander Wu."
Saying that, Dou Xueli added: "The salary for the school position is very low, and all of them are classmates. They don't look up when meeting. Not many people want to go. Generally, only poor students will take the initiative to apply. You think this is not the case." If you don’t count as a poor student, you just don’t have enough money to spend, so you can’t afford to work in the school, right?”
Li Mu smiled slightly: "That's right. Opportunities should be reserved for poor students."
Although Li Mu is not interested in the work-study program on campus at all, what Dou Xueli said also reflects the phenomenon of a considerable number of college students who are too ambitious and care about face. They have the intention to work part-time, but they find it embarrassing inside the school and too hard outside the school. In the end, most of them came to nothing. On the whole, there is potential in the part-time job market for college students, but there is no good way to help them activate this soil.
After finishing the last class at five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mu took a walk around Zhongguancun, specifically visiting a mobile phone store. He found that he was not interested in any mobile phones now. There was no color screen phone, and no camera. As for smart phones, The phone was even more of a dream. After looking at it, I really didn’t like the look of Motorola V998+. In the end, I spent nearly 3,000 yuan to buy a T39MC just launched by Ericsson.
This is the world's first mobile phone with built-in Bluetooth. Although Bluetooth is useless at the moment, it also supports GPRS and has a built-in WAP browser. Although Li Mu has no intention of using his mobile phone to surf the Internet, he is still willing to do it. After being taken advantage of, I happily bought it.
He just wanted to buy a mobile phone that was better than the 8250, and he had enough reasons to hand over the 8250, which was less than three months old, to Hu Zhengdao.
On the way back, Li Mu changed his mobile phone card to a new phone, called Li Yawei and asked him if he was with Hu Zhengdao.
Li Yawei then said: "The two of us happened to have an appointment to have dinner together at a Guilin Rice Noodles restaurant in the south gate of Yanda University. We just left the dormitory. Li Mu, do you want to come with us?"
The only two couples Li Ya mentioned were him and Han Xiaoxiao, as well as Hu Zhengdao and Wang Yanan. They often had activities together in private, so he smiled and said, "I won't make light bulbs for you. You and I Zhengdao said, let him wait for me in the dormitory for a few minutes, and I'll see him if I have something to do."
"good."
Returning to the dormitory, there was only Hu Zhengdao in the room who was tidying up neatly. Li Mu asked, "Zhengdao, where are the others?"
Hu Zhengdao said: "Ya Wei was afraid that his wife would be anxious, so he went first. The others went to the canteen. By the way, Ya Wei said you have something to do with me?"
Li Mu nodded, took out the 8250 with the mobile phone sim card removed from his pocket, handed it to Hu Zhengdao and said, "I got a new mobile phone, I have this one free, you can take it and use it."
Hu Zhengdao looked at the 8250 handed over by Li Mu in surprise and said, "Isn't this still brand new?"
Li Mu took out the newly purchased Ericsson T39MC and said, "Isn't this a cheap move? I replaced it with one with more functions."
Hu Zhengdao didn't know how good Li Mu's financial conditions were, but he was a little surprised when he could change his brand-new mobile phone at any time.
Thinking that he told him last night that he wanted to buy a mobile phone, and that today he had changed to a new mobile phone and wanted to hand over the old mobile phone to him, Hu Zhengdao felt as if Li Mu did this just for himself.
However, as the saying goes, there is no reward for no work, so Hu Zhengdao couldn't bear to take Li Mu's mobile phone directly. He also knew about the 8250. A new one costs more than a thousand, and a second-hand one with good quality costs six or seven hundred, which is enough to cover his three months' living expenses. .
Seeing Hu Zhengdao's refusal, Li Mu said: "We are all brothers, why are you so stubborn about this trivial matter? If you don't use this phone, won't it be idle? I'm just lending it to you, not giving it to you."
Hu Zhengdao was a little nervous. A man from the northwest should be cheerful, but he was embarrassed to nod in this matter.
However, seeing that Li Mu had begun to dislike him, Hu Zhengdao felt a little uneasy on his face. He thought again and again and said to Li Mu: "Third brother, why don't you sell this phone to me? It's just that I don't have that much money recently, so I can pay it back in installments." for you."
Li Mu slapped the table and said with a bit of dissatisfaction: "Is it interesting for brothers to always be so open to each other? This phone is idle now. If you want to use it, just take it. You don't have to look back. I'll give it to Liu Nian, but Liu Nian wants it. Cell phones are not very useful, unlike you, who has a girlfriend. Nowadays, girls like to talk on the phone with their boyfriends and bombard them with text messages. You can bear to have your Wang Yanan lie in bed and not even receive a single text message from you. ?”
Hu Zhengdao's old face turned red. Li Mu's words spoke to his heart. These words made him completely give up his previous hesitation and nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Li Mu."
Li Mu pushed him out of the dormitory door and said, "You can buy a mobile phone card at any phone booth. Buy one on the way there."
Sorry, there was something wrong with the network at home today. I just solved it after a long time of trouble... I will try to update it tonight...
