The next day, Lin Duo came to the company according to the normal working hours, and at this time, Chen Yu was already sitting at the front desk, yawning, and watching her walk in with sleepy eyes.

"Morning, have you had breakfast?" Lin Duo said.

"After eating, I felt like throwing up. Chen Yu said.

"By the way, what time did you get home last night?" Lin Duo asked.

Chen Yu thought for a while and replied: "About a quarter of the hour, the place where I live is not far away, and it is convenient to go back." ”

Lin Duo sat down, took out a bottle of cold drink from his handbag and handed it to Chen Yu, and said, "I've thought about it, I've thought about it all night, and I want to find a part-time job to do." ”

Chen Yu was a little surprised and asked, "Why?

Lin Duo said: "That's not it, I want to make more money, that's all." ”

Chen Yu smiled: "I shouldn't really learn from me." ”

Lin Duo smiled embarrassedly and said: "Seeing a successful lady like you, I also want to live a positive life, I used to be pampered at home, but unconsciously, there is no goal and direction, in this C city, everyone wants to survive, they have to work hard like you." ”

After Chen Yu heard this, he couldn't help but feel a little fluttering, this feeling of being admired is very good, especially when he does have a certain strength and is looked up to, he can have a sense of accomplishment. So he smiled and said: "It's not as tall as you say, in fact, I'm just like you, I just want to make more money, since you want to do part-time, do you want to do anything?"

Lin Duo frowned and said, "I don't know, I don't know what I can do, so I want you to help me come up with ideas." ”

Chen Yu said: "I have done a lot of part-time jobs, to be honest, it is very hard, especially part-time jobs at night, which is really physically exhausting. ”

Lin Duo hurriedly said: "I'm not afraid of hard work, as long as I can make money, I'm willing to endure hardships." ”

Chen Yu said: "You have to think about it, part-time jobs will take up almost all of your rest time, if the body is exhausted, there will be nothing, and besides, girls, if they are in a state of exhaustion for a long time, it will be easy to age." ”

Lin Duo said: "It's okay, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid, I want to make more money, as long as I can make more money, whatever I want, as long as I can survive in this C city, I am willing to pay, willing to age." ”

Chen Yu looked at her with some pity and said, "Sister Lin, I don't understand, why do you suddenly want to make more money so much, do you really want to learn from me? I am under pressure, so I have to find a night shift, if it is not to pay off the mortgage, I will not find a part-time night shift." But you don't have to be like me. ”

Lindo said: "I thought about it for a long time last night, the more I thought about it, the more pressure I felt, I used to be in college, I was carefree, the house and the car, I can not think about these, it doesn't even matter if there is one, as long as I can have a job, I am very happy, but now I think about it, the previous idea is simply too naïve, in this society, not recognizing the reality, it is no different from deceiving yourself." So I still thought, if I can make more money, I can have my own house in City C like you, that's what I want. ”

Chen Yu nodded seriously, exhaled, and said, "I understand, understand." Alas, it's not easy to live in City C, Sister Lin, come on. Now that you've made up your mind, I'm going to do you a favor. ”

"Thank you, then. Lin Duo said that she had a settlement in her heart.

At this time, the elevator door opened, Bai Yang walked out, came to the front desk and said, "Good morning, is there an interview scheduled today?"

"There are two, the post is customer service, and I arranged it at three o'clock in the afternoon. Chen Yu said.

"Okay, when they come, give me a call. Then, she turned around, looked at Lin Duo, and asked with a smile, "Are you still used to this job?"

Lin Duo said: "It's okay, in fact, the work is not so boring, I think I still like this job." ”

Bai Yang nodded and said, "Then, the work content should be familiar to you." This morning, you go to the show room, there is also a front desk, there are a few customers who want to come to see the house in the morning, there needs to be someone in the show room, you go there in the morning. ”

"Okay. Lin Duo stood up and walked towards the elevator.

The model room is on the second floor, which is used to show the layout and design of the community, and it is a real furniture display, and the real estate company will have such a model room to attract customers. Lin Duo walked around the model room, she still prefers to stay here, because the model room is unattended, and there is more freedom here than the front desk downstairs. She walked to the window and looked at the high-end community that had just been delivered opposite, the houses were magnificent, neat, and she knew that the price was expensive at a glance. So close to her, yet so far away, this house is like a mountain, overwhelming. Lin Duo stood there, feeling an inexplicable depression. Chen Yu has promised to come down and help her find a part-time job, so that she can earn more money every month. At this time, she savored Chen Yu's words: However, you don't need to be like me.

Yes, she really doesn't need to work as hard as Chen Yu and earn money desperately, she doesn't need to put unnecessary pressure on herself. Chen Yu herself said that she did that to repay the loan. But she Lin Duo didn't buy a house here, and before that, she didn't seriously consider settling here, but she really thought that she would settle here in the future and wouldn't go back.

Now, Lin Duo is beginning to consider whether he wants to settle in City C. After all, although she misses her hometown and her parents a little, in this C city, she secretly feels that her hometown, hometown, family, and friendship are moving away from her step by step, or that she is unintentionally avoiding those important things in her heart little by little. She is afraid that one day she will be abandoned by her hometown, parents, and love, afraid that she will really become a member of this C city, afraid that the strange streets and shops in this C city will become extremely familiar one day, and afraid that one day she can find a home in C city if she walks with her eyes closed. In this city, there are so many things she is afraid of, and what she fears most is to be accepted by this strange environment and gradually forget the past.

The person who falls into the cliff will gradually feel that the cliff is getting farther and farther away, but the cliff is not moving at all, but the person is falling deeper and deeper. Illusions always influence judgment and lead to bad decisions.

Lin Duo thought about it and finally decided to stay in City C and not go back. Then she had to find a part-time job in the evenings. She doesn't want to be like Chen Yu and Bai Yang, taking on a loan and paying off the mortgage month after month, she just wants to pay off all the house payments at once. After witnessing Chen Yu's situation, she deeply felt the pressure of the house slave, so she didn't want to let herself become like that. Lin Duo thought for a long time and had no answer, but in the end he still insisted on his point of view, if she didn't have money, she would rent a house and never repay the mortgage in installments, even if there was no way at the moment.

The day passed quickly, and several customers spent the whole day in the showroom, talking about the price for an afternoon, and the sales manager was exhausted and still mediating with the customer. Bai Yang came over and said, "It's almost time to get off work, you can go down." I'm sorry, I thought these people would be able to sign the contract soon, but who knew that so much time was wasted. ”

Lin Duo said: "It's okay, besides, this is my job, in fact, I still like to stay in the model room." ”

Bai Yang smiled bitterly and said, "Isn't it even more boring if there is no one to chat with here?"

Lin Duo looked at the customers and asked, "These people really want to buy a house, but the price has not been acceptable." Is it true that our company's housing prices are higher than those of other companies?"

Bai Yang said: "All the house prices in C City are basically the same, and our company's house prices are indeed more expensive, but there is a reason why they are expensive, because the service of our real estate company's properties is the best, and of course, the property fees are also ridiculously expensive." ”

Lin Duo still remembered about the part-time job, so he said, "Then, I'll go down." ”

When he arrived on the first floor, Lin Duo hurriedly walked to the front desk, Chen Yu was sitting there in a daze, and when he saw Lin Duo, he motioned for her to come over.

"I've asked you, there are a lot of part-time jobs nearby, but most of them are cashiers. Chen Yu said.

"So, is it the same as yours? in the supermarket?" asked Lin Duo.

"That's not it, it's a KTV cashier, I have a friend who works as an intermediary, I asked him, he can provide me with a few regular KTV cashier jobs, Sister Lin, do you think it's okay?" Chen Yu said.

Lin Duo thought for a while and asked, "What about the salary, and the working hours?"

Chen Yu said: "The basic salary is 3,500, if the customer applies for a card, there will be a commission, my friend said, plus various subsidies for night shifts, the monthly salary will not be less than 4,500." During working hours, there are four days off each month from 8 p.m. to 2 a.m. ”

"From 8 p.m. to 2 a.m., it's six hours, it's late. Lin Duo felt a little difficult.

Chen Yu knew that this was indeed a little unbearable for Lin Duo, so he said: "The working time is indeed a little long, 6 hours, after returning home, wash up again, go to bed at 3 o'clock, and the next day you have to work the day shift during the day, if you continue like this for a long time, your body will definitely be tired." ”

Lin Duo didn't expect that the money for this night shift part-time job was really hard to earn, so he said: "So, is there a slightly shorter time to work? I got off work at 2 o'clock in the morning the next day, it was too late." ”

Chen Yu thought for a while and said: "KTV is such a working time, 8 o'clock in the evening, and people generally start to consume at this point in time, so it is really difficult to do part-time work at night." ”

Lin Duo said: "Can you be in the supermarket like you? By the way, is there still a person in the supermarket where you work at night? I can work part-time with you." ”

"Yes, that supermarket is still recruiting part-time night shifts, if you go, then the boss won't use it at night. Yesterday, he was still asking me if I could call you to work the night shift with me, but I don't know if you would like to. Chen Yu said.

Lin Duo saw a glimmer of hope and said, "I am willing, of course I am willing, why didn't I say it earlier." ”

Chen Yu shook his head helplessly, looked at her and said, "The salary is very low, so I didn't tell you." ”

This sentence was like a thunderbolt from the blue, and Lin Duo hurriedly asked, "Is it really low?"

Chen Yu said: "There are only 2,000. ”

Lin Duo was a little disappointed, he didn't expect it to be only 2,000 yuan, but if you think about it carefully, it's also fair, after all, if you work part-time as a cashier in a supermarket, you can get off work at 0:00. Although the salary is a little small, I can still sleep for seven or eight hours after work.

"So, Sister Lin, think about it, in fact, I don't think you need to put too much pressure on yourself, I suggest that if you want to do a part-time job, just go to that supermarket with me, and you can close the door and get off work at zero o'clock every day." In KTV, the cashier can't get off work until two o'clock in the morning, which is very hard. Chen Yu said.

Lin Duo said: "Think about it, thank you, Chen Yu." ”

After getting off work, Lin Duo walked home with mixed feelings. She didn't know how to describe her feelings, seeing both hope and disappointment. She began to seriously consider whether she was suitable for part-time work at night, after work, she already felt that her body was hollowed out, and she had to work part-time at night, if she worked as a cashier in a supermarket with Chen Yu, then the working hours were barely reasonable, but the salary was too low. If she works as a cashier in KTV, then with the daytime work, she can really earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. But in this way, she has to sleep two or three hours less every day, for a little girl like herself, can she persevere? ?

She thought of the first day she came to work in the company, and Bai Yang told her that she hoped she could persist in the job of customer service. She didn't understand what it meant. But now she seems to understand how painful it is to persevere, and if she makes up her mind to work part-time at night, then whether she chooses which supermarket or KTV, it is simply an ordeal to persevere. Lin Duo was a little irritable, and she sat on a stone bench in a small park by the roadside for a whole hour, until it was completely dark, and finally decided to let herself go. So he sent a message to Chen Yu, telling her that she had decided to be a cashier in KTV at night.

After a while, Chen Yu replied with a message: After work tomorrow, I will take you to an interview.
