Chapter 55: Strange Relationships 2
About two hours after eating, Lin Lin and Zhu Jingjing took a bus from their home to Li Street, the most densely populated area of local small and medium-sized enterprises.
Arriving at Li Street, the two came to Company C to prepare for the job interview according to the instructions of the online recruitment information address.
When they walked into the interview waiting area, they looked around and found that there were not many people interviewing today.
The company said it would hire a large number of people when recruiting online, and judging from the number of interviews, their success rate should be very high this time.
After waiting in the interview waiting area for about ten minutes, Lin Lin and Zhu Jingjing were called into the manager's room at the same time.
When the two entered the manager's room, they learned that the company had arranged them for interviews in the same block in order to save time.
The interview process lasted about ten minutes, and the two of them kept answering the questions raised by the manager, one by one.
Until the last question was answered, the manager who interviewed them always bent his eyebrows and nodded frequently, giving people the feeling of being very satisfied.
And shortly after the last question was asked, the corners of the manager's mouth suddenly drooped.
The question asked them if they accepted some work arrangements outside of their posts.
Lin Lin thought about it for a while, and originally planned to answer "accept", but Zhu Jingjing opened her mouth first, saying that she would not accept it.
Because of this answer, the manager could only say "no" to them.
After coming out of Company C, the two hurriedly went downstairs to Company D.
This is a backup company that they have discussed in advance and can go back to immediately if they fail the interview.
Because the two companies are close enough, and they are both the same type of company, both are hiring.
The interview mode of this company is very similar to that of the gang one, and the two of them are arranged to interview together.
And the whole interview process, just like the previous one, the manager kept nodding their answers to the interview.
However, the last question the manager asked them this time was to ask them if they would accept overtime.
This is completely fine for Lin Lin, who has worked in the former company for more than a month and is often arranged to work overtime.
Just as she opened her mouth to answer and accept, she was unexpectedly snatched by Zhu Jingjing first.
One sentence: "No, no, no, it's too dangerous to work overtime at night on the way home." The answer was very hurried.
This made the manager have to shake his head.
"Go home and wait for the notice." So he sent them out the door.
Lin Lin, who has also had the experience of failing an interview, knows very well that "going home and waiting for a notice" is actually equivalent to "you were not hired".
failed twice in a row, which also made Lin Lin anxious.
She had to leave her job urgently because of Du Hua, although she had received all the wages settled by the previous company.
But now, they not only have to change jobs, but also change to new dormitories, and renting a new dormitory will cost another amount of money.
If you don't join the new company in a hurry, the living expenses will obviously not be enough.
Of course, her current mood, in addition to anxiety, is more doubtful.
What happened to this Zhu Jingjing today, didn't she just tell her mother on the phone this morning that she would find a new job as soon as possible?
Now that she has found two companies with good salaries and are very easy to enter, why is she picky for no reason?
Zhu Jingjing's family is so short of money, and they are so frugal on weekdays, why is it not important at this juncture?
Coming down from the company building, the two walked to the bus stop, passing many clothing stores, and almost every store, Zhu Jingjing had to poke her head into it once or twice.
Lin Lin, who was walking behind her, raised her eyes and looked at the signboard of the clothing store.
These stores of Zhu Jingjing's probe are all shops that sell famous brands.
Although I haven't known Zhu Jingjing for a long time, I have also gone shopping with her a few times.
Doesn't she only go to the boutique store when she goes shopping? I remember that she doesn't dare to look at a brand-name store like this.
Because she always said that a person dressed like her should not even poke half his head into such a store.
If you dare to peek in, even if you just pretend to be an eye, you will definitely be blinded by the clerk.
Just as the two of them passed by about ten stores, Zhu Jingjing suddenly stopped.
"What's wrong......" Lin Lin behind him hadn't finished asking, only to see Zhu Jingjing curling the corners of her mouth, raising her legs, and walking into a clothing store called "TT" with trembling steps.
Lin Lin, who followed Zhu Jingjing and also approached the door of the store, was really surprised.
The "TT" brand is a famous brand among famous brands, and the price of the clothing in this store is very high, even if it is just a few small accessories, the price is more expensive than their previous month's rent.
Zhu Jingjing, why did he suddenly dare to walk into this kind of store?
After entering the store, Lin Lin didn't plan to look at the clothes at all, but just stood in the corner of the store, waiting for Zhu Jingjing.
While waiting, she raised her eyelids from time to time.
This shop doesn't look big, and the interior is very luxurious and exquisite.
There are about five or six clerks, probably on weekdays and working hours, and there are no customers in the store except for her and Zhu Jingjing.
Seeing Zhu Jingjing constantly rummaging through the clothes from the hanger, then taking off several pieces and hanging them on her arms, and finally walked to the full-length mirror, boldly comparing them with her body one by one.
This made Lin Lin's eyes not too round.
Why is this Zhu Jingjing so serious? Is she planning to buy clothes?
During the process of Zhu Jingjing's dressing, the clerks in the store did look Zhu Jingjing's clothes up and down as she kept saying, and stood aside with their hands crossed, rolling their eyes from time to time, and had no intention of stepping forward to serve her at all.
Among them, there were also one or two clerks, probably seeing Lin Lin's unique temperament, they swept their eyes to Lin Lin from time to time, and even walked up to her and asked if they needed service.
Without waiting for Lin Lin to wave her hand to respond, Zhu Jingjing came over again at some point.
"Yes. She cheekily nodded to the clerk.
Next, she unceremoniously made one request after another to the clerk.
"Can you find me another size for this dress?"
Clerk: "Well, let's take a look." ”
"Can you help me match this dress?"
Clerk: "Yes, yes." ”
"This dress is very good-looking, but I don't like the color, do you have any other colors?"
Clerk: "Well, yes." ”
......
About half an hour later, as the white eyes in the store became more and more serious, Zhu Jingjing put down all her clothes and took Lin Lin's arm, "Let's go." ”
"Huh?" was suddenly led away by Zhu Jingjing, Lin Lin hung her head and her lips trembled.
Make no mistake, in other people's stores, you just pat your ass and say you want to leave?
After the two walked out of the store, along the way, Lin Lin kept pulling Zhu Jingjing's clothes, and asked her what happened today.
Zhu Jingjing just smiled and said that she was about to find a new job and wanted to buy some new clothes.
Hearing this, Lin Lin's eyebrows were about to twist.
Buying clothes for a new job? Aren't you not looking for a new job? Why are you thinking about buying clothes first?
And is the clothes at that price what they should be looking at now?
Six o'clock in the evening, Lin Lin's house.
After returning home, Lin Lin changed her clothes and immediately ran into the kitchen.
When she opened the door of the refrigerator at home and slipped her eyes, she had a headache.
With such a big refrigerator, there aren't many dishes left.
Picking up an eggplant with her left hand and a cabbage with her right hand, she walked out of the living room, and asked Zhu Jingjing, who was sitting on the sofa, "There is only this one dish left in the house, do you want to fry them together?"
Zhu Jingjing, who was hanging her head and playing with her mobile phone, raised her eyes, "Huh?" Then, she waved her hand again and said, "I don't have to cook tonight." ”
"Don't you have to cook?" Lin Lin didn't understand, "Why?"
"You just came back by car, aren't you tired?" Zhu Jingjing said.
"Tired is tired, but tired also has to eat, what do you eat if you don't cook?"
"Eat takeout. ”
"Eating takeout?" Lin Lin reacted greatly, "No, I can't order takeout at home, if my brother finds out, he will think that my life outside is very unhealthy." ”
"Ouch. Zhu Jingjing looked calm, "Look at you're nervous." ”
She smiled again, "I'm talking about eating takeout, not calling it takeout, it's different." ”
"Huh?" Lin Lin's eyes were blindfolded, "What are you talking about? What is eating takeout is not called takeout? How can you eat takeout if you don't call it takeout?"
"You'll find out later. Zhu Jingjing said mysteriously.
About two minutes later, there was a sudden knock on the living room door of the house.
With the sound of the door, Zhu Jingjing stood up, raised the corners of her mouth, and said proudly: "The takeaway is here." ”
Lin Lin turned her head and looked, "Brother?"
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting. Lin Jing, who was carrying things in both hands, said as he came in through the gate.
Watching Lin Jing walk through the living room, into the dining room, and put the bag in his hand behind the dining table, Lin Lin immediately stepped forward curiously.
Unwrapping the bag, inside are several insulated boxes.
Open the insulated box and fill it with meals.
"This is packed back from the company's hotel, you can eat it while it's hot. Lin Jing said with a smile.
A minute later, Lin Lin, who was eating, asked Lin Jing curiously, "Why did you suddenly bring back the food from the company?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to try the dishes of that hotel?"
"We?" Lin Lin didn't understand, "When did we say it?"
Zhu Jingjing on the side smiled, "I said it." With that, she narrowed the corners of her mouth and winked at Lin Jing.
It was a strange blink.
Although it was only for a moment, her eyelashes seemed to be able to speak, and after glancing at Lin Jing, Lin Jing immediately smiled knowingly.

When did the relationship between the two become so close?
Since she met Zhu Jingjing, she has never mentioned her family's affairs in front of her, so Zhu Jingjing never knew that she had an older brother.
The two of them met for the first time only yesterday.
When I got up this morning, Zhu Jingjing didn't talk much to my brother.
So did they communicate yesterday?
By the way, after bringing Zhu Jingjing home last night, I immediately ran to take a bath, and when I came out of the bath, I seemed to see Zhu Jingjing talking to my brother.
At that time, the actions between Zhu Jingjing and her brother were also as strange as now.
Just now, Zhu Jingjing said that she didn't need to cook, and she also said that there was takeout to eat, and now she said it again, and she still did this action.
Is it possible?
She and her brother ......
