Chapter 5 Job Hunting

Guan's mother picked vegetables all the way, while nagging: "Your father is also dedicated to your good, don't blame him." ”

"How so. ”

"You've been a good kid since you were a kid, and although your grades aren't outstanding, you're not the bottom student. When you were young, you were very well-behaved, you were very honest, to what extent were you honest, when the family celebrated the Spring Festival together, relatives and friends couldn't think of you when they were sending New Year's money! I don't believe that such a child will fall, have you encountered something? If it is convenient to talk to your mother, although there will eventually be an unbridgeable gap between the young and the old, communication can always build a wide bridge. ”

"Mom, I didn't have anything to do, I was just bored, and I played in the Internet café for a while. ”

"That's not what the people in the community say, some of my old friends said when they were chatting together, you were a quiet and sunny young man before graduation, and occasionally you could see a little smile on your face, but after graduation, you can never see it again, just a sad face, your body is getting thinner, your face is gloomy, they all say that you look like a little ghost from the underworld. Something must have happened to you, and you're still thinking about lying!"

Guan Ke smiled bitterly, it seems that the old men and old ladies in the community are all secret agents of their parents. "Don't listen to their nonsense, their eyes are spent, and they look away. ”

Guan's mother retorted: "Don't look at us as old, our heads are about to grow white hair, and they think we are so deceived." We're older, but our eyes are bright! If you don't want to say it, I won't force you. Your father often told me to leave a little private space for the children, because everyone has such secrets in their hearts that they don't want to be seen, and your father said, just let them be hidden. Your father is rarely open-minded, so I will follow his advice and stop inquiring about your private affairs. ”

"Thank you, Mom. ”

"But you still have to come to the countryside often, not to see my bad old woman, but to accompany your old father. Since the factory has gradually declined, his face has gradually become lonely. It is said that people will be lonely when they are old, and I see that he has these signs, so go to accompany him more and play a few games of chess to make him happy. ”

"I will. ”

The food on the table wafted the fragrance that had not been seen for a long time, and there was no thick oil smoke like in the restaurant.

After gobbling it up, the customs guest had already swept away most of the dishes on the table. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had eaten his mother's homemade food. From the beginning of the school day, there are usually two options when it comes to mealtime, one is to go to the school cafeteria, and the other is to go to the snack bar outside the school. The food in the cafeteria is just two things, the food is usually covered with a thick layer of oil, and if a green vegetable in the dish does not have a pebble-like grain of salt, it is simply extraordinary. Although the canteen has done all kinds of tricks and come up with new food varieties, it is also a change of soup and not a change of medicine, and the thick layer of grease is still floating in the plate. I went to the restaurant with three or two classmates, and after eating two or three flies, the customer resolutely stopped going. Luckily, he didn't have many friends, so he avoided eating a lot of flies during his four years at college.

Mom's meal was very light at first, and the more you tasted it, the more fragrant it became, and the customer's stomach bulged high until he couldn't eat anymore.

When Guan's mother was cleaning up the table, Guan Ke wanted to help, but was stopped by Guan's father.

Dad Guan said, "Do you plan to play games online again?"

Guan Ke shook his head firmly, "No, definitely not going." ”

Father Guan crossed his hands and said, "I believe in you, you are a good boy who is taciturn and will do what you say." ”

Father Guan is a businessman who likes literary language, and in his decades of business career, one or two literary words will pop up from time to time when talking to others, which has become a habit. Although often dismissed as a "real antique", he doesn't find the title disparagement. In the eyes of Guan's father, the literary language is concise and majestic, which is very in line with his character.

Guan Ke knows what the end of disobedience is, and it is by no means as simple as a slap. Guan Ke was withdrawn when he was a child, and did not play with other classmates, Guan's father often said to him: "Birds and beasts should not be in the same group, but people and who are with them?" Looking at his father's serious and old-fashioned appearance, Guan Ke wanted to grin. Father Guan hoped that he could be more active, but no matter how hard he tried to persuade him, Guan Ke was still the one who walked alone. Once, when the parents were asked to talk about the children's education in the classroom, Guan's father listened to the teacher's tirade, and inadvertently glanced out the window, and saw a group of children in groups of three or five, playing shuttlecock or basketball on the distant sports field, only the guest leaned on the railing alone, with his head down and didn't know what he was thinking. When Dad Guan saw this scene, the fire in his heart rose for no reason, and he only felt that a sense of anger was filling his head, and he was about to reach the limit of the explosion. He looked at the children playing, and then at the passers, and the anger rose up, and finally exploded in his mind.

Father Guan was sitting on the seat by the window, he opened the bright glass window, jumped out directly, ran across the playground like the wind, and in his son's panicked eyes, he grabbed his collar and carried Guan Ke like a chicken, and slowly dragged him towards the center of the playground.

Guan Ke kept shouting in horror: "Dad, Dad, what are you doing? Dad, let me down!"

Father Guan didn't hear anything, and his anger rushed from the inside out, burning his face red. He put the guest in the middle of the playground and scolded him bitterly: "Have you listened to me? I have told you countless times that you want to get along with your classmates, and you promise to do so, but what about your actual actions? I know that you have always been an obedient child, and your grades are barely passable, and I don't blame you, but why can't you be lively?"

At that time, Guan Ke was both frightened and ashamed, and countless pairs of eyes were staring at the strange father and son, until the head teacher pulled the two of them away, and countless eyes were not diverted. However, as he walked back to his class, he kept his head down, as he could still feel the eyes secretly looking at him curiously.

After smashing his son, Guan's father left without saying a word, and soon, Guan Ke transferred to another school.

Guan Ke has become more obedient in other aspects, but his personality has also become more withdrawn, but he has covered it up well in front of his parents and has not shown it. On the playground that day, although he was frightened and ashamed to find a hole to drill, he still found his father's moist eyes with a red face. The sight of that moment was deeply imprinted in the mind of Guan Ke, and the tears in his father's eyes reflected his worry, vulnerability and helplessness, which a strong and slick businessman had never seen. All this sadness came from himself, and he understood it, so he never complained that his father threw him on the playground.

After taking a nap, Guan Ke put on his father's suit. Mom and Dad rested in another room, and their presence filled the empty room and gave the guest a sense of peace and tranquility for the first time.

The gateway didn't want them to know they were sick. He didn't like them to work for him anymore. He decided to hide it until the day he died. In the future, it will not be their own responsibility, maybe they will be sad, but time will eventually heal all the scars, how deep the scars are.

Dad's suit was a little small, and it was so tight that it barely covered his navel. Guan Ke lifted his pants up, and in the mirror, he was dressed in a serious black suit, and he looked like an elite in the workplace.

Guan Ke grinned, lifted his pants up again, and went to the talent market in Pingle City.

The job fair was held in a small two-story building, with a large screen hanging at the staircase on the first floor and the staircase on the second floor, scrolling the names of many companies and their requirements for job applicants.

Before he could take a look at the big screen, a young man in a designer suit and shiny leather shoes leaned over with a smile. He held a stack of papers in his hand, black printed text covering the entire white page. "Hello, are you here to apply for a job? Our company is short of people, are you interested in coming to us? The monthly salary is 5,000 yuan!" he stretched out his right hand and spread five fingers to the customer's face to show that this number is amazing.

Guan Ke glanced at the words on the paper, and saw the word "insurance" in the black bold title at the beginning, and he immediately knew what the other party was doing. Factories, schools, company buildings, supermarkets, streets, and even job fairs for students, as long as there are many people, you can always find them, people in their companies call them salespeople, and students mostly call them "insurance sellers", and people of their parents' generation are even more straightforward, directly calling them "liars".

Guan Ke guessed his business, so he turned around and wanted to leave. Helplessly, whether it is selling insurance or recruiting sales talents, they all have perseverance and perseverance, commonly known as "cheeky". The young man still smiled and followed the customer, and kept babbling about the benefits of the company.

Guan Ke turned two or three booths, he was still buzzing in his ears like a fly, Guan Ke couldn't calm down to look at the requirements of each company, so he turned around and asked the young man with shiny shoes: "Actually, if you want me to be a sales talent, my conditions are not high, money is second, if you can meet my requirements, even let me pay for it." ”

The young man's smile froze, and he instinctively felt that it was a very unsatisfying request. Out of politeness, he continued to smile and asked, "What are the requirements?"

Guan Ke pointed to his head and said, "I have a tumor here, advanced stage." The doctor said I didn't have much time to live. As long as you can remove this strange tumor from my head, I will grant you whatever you ask. ”

The young man's mouth was open, and his eyes were wider than a cow's. He was stunned for a second, then turned around and walked away, quickly disappearing into the staircase on the second floor.
