Chapter 26: A Month Ago

[1 month ago]

Liu Mengting originally had a solid family, but due to the huge changes in the Internet society, Liu Mengting's father, who is also known as the sixth master in the rivers and lakes, encountered unprecedented challenges in the process of running an Internet café. That is, with the popularization of the Internet, more and more families and schools have the conditions for accessing the Internet, and many young people who were originally mixed in Internet cafes do not go back to Internet cafes to consume, and the era of Internet cafes has become the end of the crossbow. The sixth master did not analyze that the business model of the Internet café urgently needed to be improved, so he transferred into the same vortex as other traditional operators: expanding reproduction. After a period of investigation, the sixth master took a fancy to a four-story building in the center of the city, and this small building can accommodate 500 computers, so he decided to invest all his wealth in this Internet café, hoping to change the declining trend of the Internet café. Liu Mengting was originally a very well-behaved girl, but the sixth master insisted on going her own way and said to her: "I won't go to high school this year, and my father needs to scrape together a sum of money to build a new Internet café!

Liu Mengting, who was looking forward to the arrival of the new semester, agreed to her father's request and postponed it for a few years. Watching her father run to the bank and private loans every day to get together the loans, Liu Mengting's heart became more and more sad, so she decided to let the family survive this difficult period through her own efforts. Some people in society often say how good a certain person is and how rich such and such a person is! But reality is often the reality, and if you want to be noble in front of others, you must go through the link of suffering in the future. The sixth master is still the cheerful sixth master, and he doesn't want others to know that he actually has no money and has been in debt.

In the spring of 2018, Liu Mengting braved the biting cold wind to seek a sales job from a recruitment website. In the northern climate, even after the Spring Festival, the air is still cold, at a level of about -20 degrees Celsius, and the streets are covered with snow, and the snow in the middle of the road is crushed into gray-black smoothies by passing cars on the road. It was a very cloudy day, it was snowing, Liu Mengting's frozen hand couldn't stop shrinking into her sleeve, but she was afraid that her resume would fall on the street and rub the gray-black snow, so she had to stretch out two fingers to hold her resume, the cold wind kept blowing between the two fingers, and she gradually only felt that her fingers were numb. Her originally fair face was gradually blown red by the cold wind, and she tightened the zipper on her clothes, holding the cold zipper in her mouth, and the cold wind blew through both sides of the zipper, not blowing down her neck into her clothes.

Originally, the sixth master could send a car out to see her off, but first, he didn't want his father to know, second, he didn't want to waste the family's fuel money, and third, in such weather, the vehicle was very easy to stall, which might delay the interview. Liu Mengting walked forward one foot deep and one foot shallow in the snow, the thick snow had filled Liu Mengting's boots, and the cold snow turned into water, constantly stimulating her feet. She walked 15 kilometers from the west side of the city to the end of Dongdazhi Street. When she walked through the door of the company, she felt a lot warmer.

The person who received her that day just told her to go back and wait for news, but then, in the evening, she received a notice of employment. In fact, how can it be so easy to find a job in society? Generally, you have to go through two, three, or even four sides. How could the company decide whether she would stay or go in a day? The main reason is that the head of the company immediately liked her as soon as he saw the photo on her resume. And Liu Mengting didn't know the reason.

In this way, Liu Mengting got the first job in her life, which was as a sales representative in this so-called pharmaceutical company, with a monthly salary of 4,500 plus commission. When she went to work the next day, she realized that something was wrong here, but this idea only stayed in her mind for a short time, and the new employees who joined the company together were taken to the conference room by the person in charge to give a product presentation. The so-called product promotion is actually to promote their drug series, and most of the drugs displayed on the PPT are marked with the "health food" logo. Liu Mengting doesn't know where these health foods are produced, but she only knows that the elderly can prolong their lives, soften blood vessels, promote digestion, and even rejuvenate after eating these health foods. Liu Mengting was completely brainwashed by this health care product company. In her eyes, marketing these drugs to the elderly is helping their health.

The days passed like this, and because of her enthusiasm, she also became a sales star of a health care product company. Every day's work is to accompany the driver to pick up the elderly in various communities in the city, and after arriving at the company, the elderly are locked in the conference room and begin to sell health care products to them. But she didn't know that many elderly people had invested nearly hundreds of thousands of yuan in health care products, and even went bankrupt. The money that was defrauded from the old man was distributed by the boss after the old man was sent away, and the rest of the money was distributed to them as a performance bonus, except for everyone's basic salary and the boss's deduction points. Liu Mengting gradually lost herself, and the money she earned every month would be secretly saved, ready to surprise her father when he started building a new Internet café.

In the second half of April, the weather gradually got hotter, the company completed the first quarter of the results, the boss smiled all over his face, came out of the office, stood in front of everyone in the company and said: "Today, I decided to take everyone out to the next restaurant!"

When the thought of the boss having a treat, the employees in the company naturally smiled. But Liu Mengting didn't expect that such a boss who was usually smiling would do something like a beast after drinking.

Liu Mengting was wearing a slightly high-end suit that day, although she looked much more mature than her peers, but her slightly immature face still showed the appearance of an 18-year-old girl. After three rounds of drinking, the boss decided to send Liu Mengting home. Liu Mengting looked at the boss who was already drunk, even if she refused the boss's proposal to send her home on the spot, but the colleagues around her repeatedly matched Liu Mengting to get in the boss's car.

Walking out of the hotel, Liu Mengting was pushed into the boss's car by her colleagues, and the colleagues who pushed her bowed slightly to the boss with a smile on their faces, and said goodbye to the boss with their right hand. Along the way, the boss who had been drunk for three rounds seemed to be sober, no longer acting drunk, but extending his claws to Liu Mengting.
