Chapter 1、Weekends are also a day of overtime
Early morning.
This weekend, after a week of sitting in an office chair, I was finally able to go out for a walk and relax.
Ye Kai had already made an appointment with his friends to go fishing in the afternoon last night, turned off the alarm clock and prepared to wake up naturally, but he was still woken up by the piercing ringtone, although he was confused, Ye Kai remembered that the sound was a phone call, not an alarm clock.
So he picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Xiao Ye, why didn't you wake up when you heard your tone? Have you finished repairing that set of travel wedding photos? The customer is in a hurry. ”
"Photos?"
Ye Kai suddenly closed his eyes hard, and only then did he open his eyes full of tears until the sourness left.
I slept too late last night.
He looked at the time, it was only seven o'clock, and it was not yet the usual time to go to work.
"The photo hasn't been repaired yet, isn't it handed over on Tuesday?"
"The customer is in a hurry, urgent. Or don't take a break today, the commission for this set of photos will double you, and there will be time to rest in the future, you will be busy first, and give me the photos before tonight. ”
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
The one who called Ye Kai was the owner of their studio, named Huang Rong, and he should have stayed up all night last night when he called.
Ye Kai slowed down on the bed for ten minutes, and then pulled out the quilt and got out of bed to wash.
Ye Kai, 23 years old, graduated from the Design Department of Xichuan University of Media and Communication, and now works in a photography post-production studio, mainly working in film and television post-production, graphic design, etc.
This is not his first job, he worked in a design company for a year, but because he couldn't stand the temper of the leader, he chose to quit and then went to this studio.
The most significant change is the salary, which has changed from more than 10,000 yuan to 5,000 a month now.
The working hours have changed from a fixed 9 to 5 double rest to the current single rest, and the daily working hours depend on the workload. He arrived home yesterday near the wee hours of the morning.
From nine o'clock in the morning to the early hours of the morning, I worked fifteen hours.
If you don't work so hard, your monthly salary will be at least one or two thousand lower, and you won't be able to afford to eat after deducting the rental car loan. He originally thought that he would soon be able to increase his commission with his own skills, but he didn't expect that after half a year, the salary was still so low.
I took milk and bread in the fridge, heated it up for breakfast, and sat down in front of the computer. Today's overtime, compared to usual, is a change in office location.
It is possible to work from home today.
It sounds great, but just like in the studio, there's no room for rest at all.
This set of 12 photos, each with a commission of 20, doubles to a 40, if you do it today, you can earn 480 in one day, which is the biggest single of the month.
Open PS, and when he was doing preparations, Ye Kai called a friend.
"Monkey"
"Called so early? I just got up. ”
The person on the other side yawned.
"I have something to do today, I guess I won't be able to go out in the afternoon, so forget about fishing. ”
"Something again. A dissatisfied voice came from the other side, "What do you say is the matter with you? You are still working overtime when you eat at night, you are still working overtime when you sing, and you are still working overtime this weekend? You are enough!"
"I'm really working overtime. ”
"Thousands of dollars a month, working overtime every day, you add a hammer!"
The monkey hung up the phone angrily.
Ye Kai put his phone on the table, sighed, grabbed his hair that had not been washed for three days, and leaned back on the computer chair.
Today, a total of 6 people, made an appointment to go to the countryside farmhouse to fish and eat, one of the girls is single, a few friends helped match several times, but there are always various reasons to go.
He doesn't want to go out more and meet more friends, but he has to make money.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, and the sunlight shines from the balcony to Ye Kai's face, and then shines from the kitchen windowsill after disappearing, until it is getting late, the night comes, and the time of the day passes again.
Ye Kai finished the last picture, moved his stiff fingers, and looked at his work.
This is a photo taken by a man and a woman, but the location of the trip is not a popular place such as Sanya or Hawaii, but an ordinary and affordable travel photo spot.
There are a lot of other photographers and girls in wedding dresses in the pictures, and plastic bottles and other things floating on the lake.
It took two hours just to fix these sundries.
The white sky is transformed into a night sky by Ye Kai, the stars shine on the bride's beautiful wedding dress, emitting a faint fluorescent light, the sea breeze blows the skirt, and the floating veil occupies a small half of the whole picture.
The background is the night in Sanya, and the boss personally went to Sanya to shoot the background material.
After PS, the inferior photos suddenly became cover-level photos, and Ye Kai's orders rarely reworked, and they have always been one-time.
Ignoring the repeated urging of the boss on WeChat, Ye Kai packed the photo and sent it to him.
got up and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, and when he passed by the mirror, Ye Kai was stunned for a moment.
The hair that has not been taken care of for a long time is messy like a bird's nest, the skin is dull and greasy, the dark circles and eye bags can be seen from afar, and the shape of the body is brought about by not exercising for a long time.
Fat house?
Even if Ye Kai never felt that he was handsome, he was still a person who was known as a grass in college.
This kind of work that hurts the body, quit, right?
This thought reappeared in Ye Kai's mind after a week.
It's easy to quit your job, but how to make money after quitting.
The monthly rent is 800 and the car loan is 3,200, which adds up to 4,000, and his monthly salary is only about 5,000.
[Discover a new region (China), reward 300,000 yuan, reward Chinese]
[Discover the new map (Rongcheng), reward 30,000 yuan, inspiration X5 in five days]
A mechanical voice appeared in Ye Kai's mind, and two rows of words also appeared in the upper right corner of his sight.
What the?
Before he could reflect it, the mobile phone in his hand rang, and when he picked it up, it was a text message from ICBC: the tail number **** card transferred 330,000 yuan at 20:09 on the 18th, and the balance was 342,085.51 yuan.
The first reaction was surprise, goldfinger?
The second reaction is very realistic, I have money!
Ye Kai stared at the text message with his mobile phone, he never had so much money on this card, in fact, when it didn't exceed five figures, it was only seventy or eighty thousand at most, and he used it all to pay the down payment to buy a car.
For a while, fear and excitement were intertwined, Ye Kai walked back and forth in the living room, he was afraid that all this was fake, his real self had gone crazy, and everything he saw now was an illusion.
He also took advantage of the night to go downstairs to the ICBC to take a look, rubbed his eyes and looked at the numbers on it over and over again, took out 10,000 yuan in cash, and then charged his WeChat with 100,000.
Ye Kai, who returned home, naturally didn't fall asleep all night, immersed in his fantasy of being rich.
If you have money, resign, resign tomorrow.
I didn't want to do this job for a long time, and it was so much worse than the previous work environment. Although the atmosphere is better than the previous one, everything is empty talk if the salary is not raised.
Then, travel or play at home? Or play at home, charge 2,000 yuan to draw skins, and play games for a few days.
The moon stars are scarce, and the last barbecue restaurant outside the community is also closed, Ye Kai finally fell asleep, this night, the mobile phone was held in his hand, and the big WeChat balance was displayed before the screen went black.
