Chapter 20: A Changed Destiny

Under the scorching sun, Jiang Wei carried a camouflage bag on his back and walked drowsily on the streets in the afternoon.

The scorching sun made him a little dehydrated, he licked his lips, and wanted to buy a bottle of water to drink, but he was reluctant.

I want to find a place to drink some tap water, but I'm worried that I'll have a stomach upset.

He squatted in the shadow behind the bus stop sign, rested for a while, a beautiful girl with a parasol, unscrewed a bottle of pure water, drank a few sips, saw the car coming, and casually threw the remaining one-third of the bottle into the garbage bin next to the stop sign and got on the bus.

Jiang Wei's eyes lit up, and he stood up suddenly, but he got up too violently and was a little dizzy.

He shook his head, took three steps and two steps, rushed to the bin, picked up the bottle, and unscrewed the cap.

Then, he saw several passengers waiting for the bus next to him looking at him.

Jiang Wei's face turned red with a bang.

He pursed his aching lips vigorously, turned and walked away, until he came to the junction, turned the corner, shrank behind a billboard, threw his head up, and poured the rest of the water into his thirsty throat with all his might.

The sweet pure water poured into his throat and slightly relieved his thirst, Jiang Wei poured the last drop of water into his mouth, and until there was no more drop, he pinched the pure water bottle, leaned against the billboard, and raised his head.

Jiang Wei told himself that he couldn't cry, he couldn't cry.

The boy has tears and doesn't flick.

He took out his phone and glanced at the time, hurriedly left the shady billboard, and quickened his pace.

Turning another corner, he saw a four-story old building with four words written on it: "Honglie Security." ”

There was a simple notice next to it that read "Recruitment".

At the entrance, there were already more than a dozen people waiting in line, and Jiang Wei quietly lined up at the end of the line.

The team was full of men, and most of them were uncles and uncles, and Jiang Wei stood in it, looking a little out of the crowd.

An eldest sister came over, sent each of them a form, took a three-rod broken ballpoint pen, and glared: "Use it in turn, don't take it!"

It took ten minutes to fill out the form, and the eldest sister took it away, leaving two words: "Wait." ”

How long to wait? No one asked.

The people here are people whose time is not valuable.

The team moved forward silently, and when they arrived in front of Jiang Wei, the eldest sister said, "It's full." ”

The people behind Jiang Wei complained a few words and muttered away.

Jiang Wei stood there for a moment before slowly turning around.

With a "ding dong", Jiang Wei took out his mobile phone and took a look, and the broken screen showed a warning of insufficient power.

"Can I borrow your place...... Charge ......" Jiang Wei saw the plug on the wall and asked in a low voice.

The eldest sister glared at Jiang Wei, then looked Jiang Wei up and down a few times, shook her head, and waved her hand helplessly.

Jiang Wei squatted against the wall and plugged his phone in.

Little by little, the power is restored.

With a "beep", the air conditioner was turned on a little bigger.

Then a paper cup filled with water was handed to Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei raised his head and saw that the mean-faced eldest sister was looking at him.

"Drink some water. ”

At that moment, Jiang Wei wanted to cry a little.

He smiled dryly and took a sip.

"The water dispenser is over there, pick it up yourself. The eldest sister looked at Jiang Wei and said, "Young people, why don't you do something, why do you want to be a security guard?"

Jiang Wei smiled and didn't speak.

After burying his mother, Jiang Wei, who was alone, used the last money to buy ten baked cakes and a bus ticket, and came to Dongcheng to join his comrades.

Jiang Wei, who has not contacted his comrades-in-arms, has been sleeping on the streets for two days.

For the past two days, he felt like a transparent person, everyone was in a hurry, and no one looked at him more.

People who have not fallen will not understand the despair of being at the bottom.

There are opportunities everywhere in this world, as long as you have a pair of hard-working hands, as long as you are willing to endure hardships, you can always live.

The takeaway brother and the courier brother who are running all over the street can earn tens of thousands of dollars a month if they are diligent.

But if you want to deliver takeaways, you must have at least a deposit of 1,000 yuan for electric vehicles and 200 yuan for clothing.

On Jiang Wei's body, there are only seven pieces of two left.

The poorer the person, the fewer opportunities there are, until they are completely reduced to the bottom.

It's an unstoppable fall that no one who hasn't experienced it will never understand.

Higher costs and greater risks have dragged back many people who are struggling to climb out.

1,000 yuan can share a remote small bedroom with someone, but those who can't get 1,000 yuan can only live in a small hotel for 60 yuan per night.

People with a monthly income of 3,000 may have a unit canteen with 3 yuan to eat, but people with a monthly income of 2,000 can only eat a boxed lunch of 5 yuan at noon and can only be half full.

Not to mention illness and accidents.

It takes a long time for many people to find a way to rise again, either with the help of society or with the help of noble people.

But before that, there is always a period of sinking, even a long time.

I was miserable but I couldn't cry.

When the battery of the mobile phone reached more than 50%, Jiang Wei stood up and bowed slightly to the eldest sister: "Thank you, eldest sister, I'm leaving." ”

The eldest sister wanted to say something, but the landline next to her rang.

"Hey, Mr. Chen...... You ask if there are any better conditions? No, I'm all crooked melons and cracked dates here. You said that last time there were three young men? one went to deliver takeaways, one went to deliver couriers, and one went home because of the lack of money, and I am all 50 years old here. ”

"Mr. Lie wants someone, Mr. Lie wants someone, I don't have anyone here! No, no, no! It's useless for a big customer!" The eldest sister glanced up at Jiang Wei, who had just walked out of the door, and suddenly her eyes lit up and said: "Hey, Mr. Chen, wait, I still have one more person here, but the previous ones are full...... Okay, I see. ”

After hanging up the phone, the eldest sister chased out quickly and stopped Jiang Wei.

"Wait, lad!"

Sitting in front of the eldest sister again, the eldest sister returned to her mean appearance, and chattered to Jiang Wei: "Actually, we don't like to recruit young people, we don't have a sense of responsibility if we ask for more money and less work, and if we don't do it, we won't do it, which is a mistake." ”

Jiang Wei laughed dryly.

"Veterans, huh...... Hurt?"

Jiang Wei rolled up the sleeve of his left arm, revealing a hideous scar.

"It doesn't affect the event. ”

"No, it doesn't affect. ”

"High school education......? Get on the job today, no problem?"

"No problem. ”

The eldest sister clicked and stuck a red stamp.

"The place you went to this time is Dongyuan University, Dongyuan University is our company's most important big customer, you have to behave well after you go...... Come with me and get your uniform. ”

Two hours later, tables and chairs were placed in the foyer on the first floor of the dormitory building of the Department of Physics of Dongyuan University, outside the window of the dormitory manager.

A young security guard, who looked quite honest, sat there.
