Chapter 7 Entering Riverside City for the First Time
Binjiang is a seaport city with a population of more than 500,000 and well-known commercial enterprises among the high-rise buildings. When she came to Jiangcheng, Xiangni was not blind, many of her classmates worked here, and a large enterprise called "Huazhi Heavy Industry" once threw an olive branch to her, but she was rejected by her who was dedicated to building her hometown.
"Nizi, Nizi" A fashionably dressed girl at Binjiang North Station waved to Xiangni and shouted, "I'm here, Fifth Sister" Xiangni pulled her mother out of the station when she heard someone calling her. The girl who called Xiangni was called Qu Yan'er, she was a good sister in Xiangni's college, there were eight people in one dormitory, Xiangni was the sixth, and Qu Yaner was the fifth, so Xiangni always called her the fifth sister.
"Dead Nizi, you miss the fifth sister!" Qu Yan'er ran over to meet Xiangni, and when she was about to come to her, she hugged Xiangni tightly in her arms and was disgusted.
"Fifth sister...... Woo" When she hugged Qu Yan'er, Chani couldn't help crying.
"Nizi, why are you crying?!" Qu Yan'er, who felt wrong, let go of Xiangni and asked with concern.
"No, it's nothing, it's just what you think......" Channie came back to her senses and was slightly embarrassed.
"Fifth sister, this is my mother," she hurriedly pulled her mother over and said to Qu Yan'er.
"Auntie, hello" Qu Yan'er took Xiang Niniang's hand very enthusiastically and shouted.
"What is this?" Channie Niang didn't know why, in the clouds, and looked at Channie with questioning eyes.
"Mother, this is my fifth sister in college, Qu Yan'er" "I called her before I came," Shanni explained to her mother.
"Nizi, let's go, the car is still waiting for us over there" Qu Yan'er pulled Xiangni and the others out of Binbei Station.
Binjiang is a beautiful city, even in this late winter and early spring season, it is still so enchanting, the wide streets and the tall and restrained trees on both sides seem to be a burly man, open arms for people to shelter from the wind and snow, passing through it, like a dream fairy tale world. The buildings along the river are very high, but they are not felt by the people who are in them, because they are very far from the street, a hundred meters away.
Qu Yan'er works in the Binjiang Municipal Government and is a clerk in the government office, she booked a room for Xiangni in a hotel near the unit, the room is not very big, but it is already very luxurious for Xiangni and her mother, Xiangni Niang secretly pulled her clothes several times, hinting that Xiangni should be frugal. Xiangni also understood what her mother meant, but she didn't feel good about Qu Yan'er's hospitality, so she didn't say much.
"Auntie, don't worry, you can stay first, give me some time to help you rent a house" Qu Yan'er saw the thoughts of the two of them, and said while helping them organize their belongings.
"Nizi, you have a good rest today, and tomorrow the eldest sister will pick you and your aunt up" Qu Yan'er was straightforward and said sentence after sentence. Liu Yuling, the eldest sister who slept with Xiangni, works in Binjiang Daily, and is the editor-in-chief of the newspaper's life column "Parents are short", and is a beautiful editor who is liked by everyone in Binjiang, and is very famous in Binjiang City, and many politicians and business executives are proud to be able to make friends with her. Also working in Binjiang is their seventh sister Zhan Xiumei, who works in a foreign company and travels around the world.
The most famous "Grand Cross Street" in Binjiang is as famous as Nanjing Road in Shanghai and Mong Kok in Hong Kong, where businessmen and dignitaries gather, and after 17 o'clock every day, the nightlife of Binjiang City begins here. The West Cross Street block of Grand Cross Street is a commercial night city area, where there are many nightclubs, the lights are bright, people can not only buy all the daily necessities in China, but also many imported luxury goods for people to buy, good quality and low price, highly favored, Binjiang people are proud of this, often bring relatives and friends from outside here to consume. East Cross Street is a cultural market, mainly engaged in electronics, electrical supplies, books, stationery, flowers, birds, fish, handicrafts of the block, the north and south cross street is a street of leisure snacks, the middle of the big cross street stands a "flying" appearance statue, dignified and beautiful, graceful, fluttering and flying, it is said that this is the incarnation of the earth god Queen Niang, standing in the center of the big cross street, bless the prosperity and tranquility of the big cross street.
Lucy Liu hosted a banquet at a Chinese restaurant on Grand Cross Street called Waterfront Terrace to wash the dust of Shanni. When Qu Yan'er brought Xiangni here, Yuling and Xiumei were already waiting at the door, and the good sisters first cried when they met, then laughed again, and finally entered the room like little girls.
"There are beautiful women in the north, peerless and independent; Rather than know the city and the country, it is difficult to get a beautiful woman. "Come on, sisters, welcome back to the team of Nizi, who we think about day and night, let's toast to Xiaoliu, the beauty of the north" Yuling was heroic and raised a glass of banquet wine with a sonorous voice.
After listening to the words of the eldest sister, Xiangni took the wine glass and drank it all, as if she had knocked down the five-flavor bottle in her heart, Liu Yuling recited a poem by Li Yannian in the Han Dynasty, the beauty depicted in the poem is unparalleled in the world, the temperament is extraordinary, self-respecting and independent and not in the company of metrics. The eldest sister used this poem as a metaphor for Shanni, who had experienced calamity, and Xiangni felt filthy and self-ashamed.
"The river city is full of smoke and rain, and the sisters reunite on the waterfront; everything has been easy-going, and a bottle of chat with the old people comes. "Eldest sister, seventh sister, we salute this old sister" Qu Yan'er looked at Xiangni affectionately, and carried the wine quite proudly.
"The Zhongshan desert is migratory and the water is migratory, and there is a hundred-foot platform of Lingyun in the west. You girl, Prime Minister Wang Cheng's poem dares to change, but it's quite flavorful, I'll do it" Lucy Liu picked up her glass and echoed, and Xiangni also took a sip.
"You are all talented girls in our department, what should I do if I mention wine like this" After drinking a few glasses of wine, Zhan Xiumei, who was a little dizzy, couldn't hold her face and said eagerly.
"You, whatever you say, we are all good sisters, what is there to worry about" Qu Yan'er replied to her with a smile.
"You all chant poetry, then let me say a word" "Who's good," Xiu Mei said playfully while playing with her hands at her temples.
"The clouds are clever, the flying stars spread hatred, and the silver man is dark. As soon as the golden wind and jade dew meet, they will win, and there are countless people in the world. Tenderness is like water, the best period is like a dream, and you can endure the return of the Magpie Bridge. If the two love for a long time, how can it be, morning and twilight. "This Xiu Mei is also worthy of being a talented girl in the Chinese department, Qin Guan's "Queqiao Immortal" casually chanted, depressed, like a silver bell, the sound is pleasant, and Chani secretly applauded in her heart. "Then I'll use this song "Queqiao Immortal" to talk about the true feelings of our sisters, and wish us not only a long love, but also a morning and twilight" "Okay" A few little sisters echoed and drank another glass.
"When we meet, we don't say anything, and a hibiscus blooms in the autumn rain. The small halo is red and the tide is slanted, and the heart is only phoenix. Waiting to be called low, straight for the condensation of fear of people to see. If you want to complain about your feelings, turn around and knock on the jade hairpin. Xiangni slowly picked up the wine glass, and recited a song in a low tone of Nalan Xingde in the Qing Dynasty, "Minus the Word Magnolia Flower • Meet and Silent", all the past is vividly in her heart, and she is secretly sad, and her tears are lowered.
"What's wrong?" "What's wrong?" the sisters immediately asked with concern.
"It's nothing, I just miss you" Channie felt her gaffe, and hurriedly stood up and continued, "Eldest sister, fifth sister, seventh sister, thank you for the dinner you prepared for me today, Nizi drank this cup" After speaking, she drank the remnants of wine in the cup.
"Eh, don't drink too much of your dead girl" Yuling hurriedly stopped, but it was too late.
When they were in school, the eight sisters in a dormitory would recite ancient poems every day after turning off the lights, until they encountered cold words and sentences, they were willing to take a break, and the next day they tried their best to consult and memorize them, and they never got tired of it, and their academic performance was also among the best in the whole department. The eight sisters are not only talented, but also naturally beautiful, so there are many suitors, but Yuling and everyone agreed that no matter who is in love, they must pass the sisters' investigation of the boys, so none of them found their love object, and later was jokingly called the "Eight Holy Girls" by the boys in the school, of course, this "saint" also has the meaning of "leftover".
The dawn sun shone warmly into the hotel room, and Channie had already washed up, waiting for her mother to go out for breakfast together. Channie Niang has not spoken much, everything here is very new to her, and all the spare parts are Channie telling her how to use them.
There are many breakfast styles, but Channie and her mother can't eat a lot, so they simply choose a few things to eat at home, even if they have completed a task, Channie sent her mother back to the room and went to the talent market to apply.
Binjiang Talent Exchange Market is not far from the hotel where Channi lives, and according to the guidance of the hotel attendant, Channi quickly found it. The market is very large, and it is clearly divided into five areas: urban agency affairs services, institution services, enterprise unit services, domestic labor services and e-commerce IT services. There are a lot of applicants here, and there are many people here. In front of a Jimei high-tech store, Shannie stopped. It was a very conspicuous shop, and a portrait of a large, bearded, sharp-eyed, pipe-smoking man with a large beard and a pipe in front of the shop attracted Channy.
"Do you need to apply for a job or do you need to recruit senior employees?" "Can I help?" a young male receptionist asked Shanny.
"I'm looking for a job" "Oh, then please come into the house and talk about it"
Xiangni entered the door with the receptionist, the shop is not very large, about fifty or sixty square meters, facing the door is an image wall of Jimei Hi-Tech, next to the image wall in front of a bar, a red carpet straight to the bar, six groups of reception tables are placed in front of both sides of the red carpet, each group has two or three seats, extremely neat.
"Please," the receptionist ushered Channy to the bar and turned and walked out.
"Hello, what kind of service do you need?" asked a curvaceous female receptionist in uniform.
"I'm looking for a job, here's my resume," Channie hurriedly handed over her resume.
"You are very good at this and meet the requirements of our company, are you interested in participating in our recruitment assessment?" the receptionist said to her after carefully reading Shanny's resume.
"Okay, that's okay" "Okay, please go to the third booth and wait, I'll get you something to drink" "What kind of drink do you need?" "Oh, coffee"
The receptionist made a cup of coffee and brought it to Shanny, then turned to the bar and called the manager. Not long after, a middle-aged man in a suit came to Shanny.
"Hello, I am the manager here, my surname is Zhang, and my name is Jing Shu" "This is my business card" The person who came briefly introduced himself, and respectfully handed a business card to Channie's hand with both hands.
"I'm really sorry I didn't print my business card," said Shannie, standing up and bowing forward slightly.
"It's okay, please take a seat," Zhang Jingshu said very tolerantly.
"I read your resume, we are interested in recruiting you to work in our company, I don't know if you would like to"
"This is my first time applying today, and I am not very familiar with your company, and I don't know how I will be treated after joining the company."
"You can rest assured that our company is a well-known company in Binjiang and even in the whole country, and its salary, five insurances and one housing fund, housing security and other aspects are very generous."
"Oh, well," Channy said casually when she heard that the housing security was overjoyed.
"However, the threshold for entering our company is very high, there is no problem with your academic qualifications, but you still have to pass our strict assessment, and only if you pass can you be considered for employment," Zhang Jingshu said sternly.
"That's nature, I agree"
"Okay, then let's sign an entry assessment contract first"
"Okay"
"Please read this contract carefully and sign your name," Zhang Jingshu took out a contract from the book in the middle of the table and handed it to Xiangni.
"This ......" This is an assessment contract, densely written with clauses, roughly the assessee must accept the company's various forms of even harsh assessments, etc., after reading Xiangni hesitated slightly.
"Do you have any questions?"
"I, I want to see the company's relevant documents and recruitment permits"
"That's no problem, I'll get it for you" Zhang Jingshu raised his arm and waved it to the female receptionist, who took a thick stack of documents and materials.
"Hmm......" Channie carefully checked the relevant documents and official seals, and nodded.
"Is it okay?" "No" "Okay, then please sign!"
Channie looked at it again and solemnly signed her name.
"Don't move, put your hands on your head!" Channie had just finished signing her name when four masked men burst in, shouting to everyone in the room with knives in their hands.
"What are you going to do?" Zhang Jingshu asked timidly.
"What are you doing, hand over your phone and watch, and stand against the wall!" a masked man brought a black bag and gathered everyone's phones, watches, and other items into it.
"Don't move" Another man also held a black bag, but instead of loading things, he put them on everyone's heads one by one, and Shannie was no exception, she was also covered on her head, and then her hands were tied with duct tape.
"Go," a rude voice shouted, pulling everyone outside.
"What's going on? Encounter a robbery in broad daylight?" Channie, who had just come back to her senses, her brain was spinning rapidly.
"No, I have to find a way to save everyone, my mother is still waiting for me to go back" "After going through so many hardships, I can't let my mother worry anymore" Channie secretly made up her mind.
