Many people come here to buy computers, choose their own hosts, CPUs, and memory, and let merchants assemble them. Due to the short supply, fakes are rampant in the market, and some people are being cheated and complained, and this street has another name "Reverse Street".
Zhongguancun is synonymous with an era, and many Internet bigwigs originated in Zhongguancun, Beijing.
Chen Ziang stood on the street of Zhongguancun in Beijing with her dream in mind, and her information dream was to start from here, although she did not go to the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China.
The ideal is very plump, the reality is very skinny, the twenty-two-year-old Chen Ziyue is a beauty, it is not wrong that she is very capable, it is not wrong that she passed the entrance examination, it is not wrong that she passed the postgraduate examination, it is not wrong that she is a scholar, who can be like her?
It's just that her graduation certificate is still at the high school level, but although she is wearing a down jacket, she still can't cover her bulging lower abdomen.
Chen Ziang walked day after day in the electronic shopping mall of Zhongguancun Science and Technology Trade Center, Guang'an Zhonghai, Hailong Building and the other three major stores in Zhongguancun - Dinghao Electronic Mall, Science and Trade Building, and Pacific Computer City.
She wants to find a job here, she will ask in front of every counter, there are people coming and going, people are constantly flowing, everyone is busy, some tellers saw that she was still very enthusiastic, but when they heard that they were looking for a job, they looked at her carefully and ignored her.
When she walked to one of the counters in the Dinghao Building, she remembered how many times she came, "Hello, ma'am, what do you need? We've got everything here." ”
"Do you have everything here, do you have a job?" said Chen Ziang, who had been on the move for a month, stubbornly insisting that she had to find a job before she could find a place to live.
Every day, my feet are swollen, I can't even wear shoes, and when I return to my beloved home at night, my toes are full of blood.
"Beauty, you're looking for a job?"
"Yes. “
"What will you do?"
"I ...... what will she do? It seems that she doesn't know anything, and she can only use a little bit of computer operation, which was a five-stroke root at the time.
But she read a lot of books on the subject.
"I use a computer. ”
The clerk looked at her: "You wait a minute, I'll call our boss." ”
"Are you looking for a job?" the boss looked at the woman in front of him, she was very good-looking, but she was pregnant, so she came out to look for a job? They already have two pregnant people in the store, could it be that he wants another pregnant one.
"We have enough of them here. The boss glanced at Chen Ziang and knocked the clerk on the head.
"You kid polished my eyes. Then he turned around and went to work.
Chen Ziang was disappointed to start a new family, and when she moved to another place, she was delighted to find that there was a sign to recruit salespeople, but the condition was that the minimum college graduation was required.
She wanted to try her luck again.
"Boss, I'm applying. ”
"Did you bring your ID card?"
"Brought it. ”
"Take a look. She handed in her ID.
"Did you bring your diploma?"
"Brought it. Chen Ziang hesitantly took out his graduation certificate.
"Didn't you look at the conditions?" the recruiter glanced at her graduation certificate and threw her ID card along with her graduation certificate.
"Next!" the recruiter waved his hand, glanced at her, and hurried her away.
Chen Ziang didn't give up, she asked one by one, even if it was to clean people's homes.
But people looked at her big belly and shook their heads, at six o'clock in the afternoon, during the rush hour after work, people came and went in the city, Chen Ziang stood on the street of Zhongguancun, surrounded by the bustling flow of people, everyone who passed by did not look at her, when she was about to pay for a ticket, she found that her wallet was missing.
She turned around to look for her wallet and hurried through the street, but there was nothing on the street, and she ran to Zhongguancun again, and the whole mall was ready to close.
Without her wallet, without her ID card, she couldn't go anywhere, Chen Ziang thought that if her wallet was stolen by thieves, it would be useless to take her ID card and graduation certificate, so she looked for it in the corner and rummaged in the trash can.
ran one place after another, the trash cans turned over one after another, the door of the mall was about to close, Chen Ziang's tears flowed down, at this time she still wanted to go to the bathroom, so she hurriedly ran to the bathroom, quickly solved the personal problem, a flash of inspiration, will the wallet be in the trash can.
Her purse was not in the trash can, but lying quietly on the ground next to the trash can, and she cried with joy and picked it up, hoping that she had lost it herself, hoping that everything was in it.
The moment she opened her wallet tremblingly, there was no graduation certificate in the wallet in addition to her ID card.
The music of "going home" sounded outside, and Chen Ziang knew that it was a reminder from the store to get off work.
Where is her home?
She was penniless, and she didn't even have money to take the bus.
She mechanically shuffled her numb steps towards the mall, not knowing where she was going.
Chen Ziang stood on the street of Zhongguancun, surrounded by the bustling flow of people, everyone who passed by did not look at her, God seemed to be deliberately against her, she could not move an inch without money, especially today she took all the money in her wallet, she had nothing, she had been living in the Aijia Hotel for more than a month, and today was the last night to renew.
Chen Ziang was in tears on the streets of Zhongguancun, and the tide of people pushed her, she felt that the world was spinning, everyone was spinning around her, and her emaciated body set off the bulging abdomen became more and more obvious.
In February, the city of Beijing was still cold, standing on the streets with the cold wind howling, Chen Ziang felt that she didn't even have the courage to live, for more than a month, she ran all over the streets and alleys, ran all over several computer cities, she regretted a little why she didn't change her mind, and went to find a job elsewhere again, and now she has nothing to do.
She just stood like that, letting the tears flow for a long time, and at this time, she knew what it was: to call the heavens and the earth, and to call the earth not spiritual.
The wind blew her ponytail, three thousand green silks flew in the cold wind, tears seemed to be about to freeze, Chen Ziang couldn't feel the cold, because, at this time, she was already cold, and the kind of despair that penetrated her bones was colder than the cold wind.
On the street stood the lonely and desperate Chen Ziang!
