When I saw Kang Xu at the gate of the factory, I finally understood where the root cause of my failure to apply for a job was, when I applied for the job before, I did not register my identity information or anything, that is to say, since I built a relationship with Zhou Hang on the golf course, I have been under the surveillance of these people, so they will know my whereabouts well, and when I think of the embarrassment of picking up cigarette butts on the street before, I was also known by Zhou Hang, and I unconsciously felt a burst of disgust in my heart.

Kang Xu sat in the driver's seat of the sports car and looked at me triumphantly: "By the way, Brother Hang also asked me to bring you a sentence, he said, since you gave up the opportunity to be a man, then he simply let you taste what it is like to be a ghost without being a person." ”

'Buzz!'

When the words fell, Kang Xu stepped on the accelerator, and the sports car let out a roaring sound, and disappeared at the end of the street in a moment.

Looking at the direction that Kang Xu left, I clenched my fist slightly, my heart was full of a sense of loss after being hit, although Kang Xu's words just now were arrogant, but there was really not much bragging, with the energy of the small circle around Zhou Hang, I wanted to deliberately target a foreigner like me who had no background at all, it can be said that it was effortless, and I, even if I wanted to fight with them, I couldn't even touch the traces of these people.

In desperation, I could only return to the bus station with the depressed mood of failing to apply, and reversed back to the city, after arriving in the city, I did not continue to look for a job, but completely began to wander aimlessly, since Zhou Hang is willing to send someone to follow me, then let people follow.

When it was noon, I found a dilapidated restaurant in the alley, simply ordered a rice bowl, and after I was full, I continued to shop with nothing to do, I had already told Lin Xuan before, I would get off work very late recently, so I couldn't go home at this time.

After I walked a few steps here, I accidentally passed by a shop selling hamburgers and fried chicken, my eyes glanced at random, and I just saw a recruitment flyer posted on the glass, stopped for less than ten seconds, sped up my pace, and walked towards a nearby alley, with the experience of losing my job before, I felt that Zhou Hang's people, eighty percent were still staring at me, so after entering this alley, I had been turning around inside, during which I looked back several times, but I didn't find anyone behind, and I didn't know if I was thinking too much about myself, or this alley was really not easy to follow, so they gave up, anyway, after confirming that there was no tail behind themI relaxed a lot and jumped out of a low wall, and after about ten minutes I was going around the back door of the burger joint and walking through the open door.

The location of the back door of this store, entering is the back kitchen, at this time it is the meal, the chef inside is busy, and no one pays attention to me, I quickly walked to the front hall, this burger restaurant is quite large, it is a two-story building, the decoration inside or something, and KFC, McDonald's and other fast food are more similar.

"Hello sir, do you need to eat?" a waiter asked a little confused when he saw me coming from the back door.

"No, I saw a job advertisement posted in front of your door and came to apply. ”

"Okay, then you wait. After listening to my answer, the waiter turned his head and looked at the bar: "Sister Liu, someone has applied for the job!"

"Here!" At the bar, a young woman in her thirties heard the waiter's shout and walked towards me, I glanced at her badge, there was no name on it, only the word manager was written, and at the same time I looked at the young woman, she also looked at me: "Do you want to apply for a job?"

"That's right. I nodded and pointed to the window: "I see the job poster." ”

"Oh, welcome. Sister Liu smiled at me: "What position do you want to apply for?" waiter, back kitchen, or baker?"

"Neither. I shook my head: "I saw the bottom of the job advertisement, it says recruitment puppet, is there anyone for this position?"

"Not yet, if you're interested in this job, I can introduce it to you. Sister Liu nodded when she saw me and continued: " The so-called puppet, is wearing puppet clothes, on the street in front of the store, distributing some leaflets or something, if you don't send flyers, you need to interact with some children in front of the store, solicit guests or something, the working hours are relatively long, from eight o'clock in the morning, until eight o'clock in the evening to close the store, and then come in to help clean up or something, and then get off work at eight o'clock, work twelve hours a day, ten yuan per hour, at noon and at night respectively, there is half an hour to eat, and the time to eat is also considered a salary, but you need to deduct twenty yuan of lunch money, salary is paid daily, one hundred yuan a day, and the salary of the first three days should be deducted as a depositAfter that, it will be distributed normally, can you accept it?"

"Yes!" After listening to Sister Liu's introduction, I simply calculated an account, one hundred yuan a day, and about three thousand a month, especially the daily salary she said, which is really too attractive to me, after all, Lin Xuan and I are in a very bad economic situation now, and I urgently need a sum of money to improve our current predicament.

"Young man, I advise you, this job, you must think about it before accepting, because this job is still relatively hard, before you, there was also a girl who was not old with you to apply, but after less than ten days, people were tired and ran, so that not only did she take a few hundred yuan less in wages, but also caused us some inconvenience, so ......"

"Sister Liu, don't worry, I will definitely be able to do a good job in this job!" Without waiting for Sister Liu to finish speaking, I interjected again, now Zhou Hang is targeting me everywhere, so if I want to find a rice bowl to eat, I guess I can only hide in the puppet, I don't believe that he can still find me through a piece of clothing that covers his body.

"Okay, in that case, you can go to work today, it's almost now, this afternoon, if you can hold on, I'll pay you according to the whole day." ”

"Yes. ”

……

After about ten minutes, I put on a giant panda puppet costume, appeared on the street in front of the hamburger restaurant, this kind of puppet costume, the outside is a layer of flannel, inside is a large amount of padded cotton, after wearing, it feels quite warm, but because of the lack of breathability, people feel very stuffy inside, and soon sweat, and in front of the field of vision, there is only a palm-sized place, and this kind of puppet, in addition to the heavy padded cotton, there are a lot of steel rings, together, there must be a weight of about 20 catties, walking, it feels very inconvenient。

When Sister Liu in the store introduced the work to me, it sounded quite simple, until she handed me 500 flyers, and then she told me that if the leaflets of the day were not distributed cleanly, five cents would be deducted for each leaflet, and if the leaflets were found to be damaged, or the flyers were discarded or something, the day's salary would be lost.

I put on a puppet costume and walked around the street for more than two hours, but the flyers were only sent out less than a hundred, and there were many children passing by, who would run to me frolickingly, and there were many adults who would also pat me with their hands, especially a pair of young lovers passing by, the boy in order to please the girl, and quietly went around behind him, and pushed me down, seeing me clumsily crawl up, and the two of them laughed forward and backwards.

At this time, I really realized how difficult it was to make money, but since I was making this money, I simply put up with it.

I wore this puppet costume before, it is said to be a girl, but the puppet costume is on the body, there is no smell of perfume, only a deep smell of sweat, maybe this smell, is the real taste of life, I haven't seen this girl, I don't know what she looks like, the only thing she left, only an MP3, and a pair of headphones on the street for ten yuan, I don't know if I don't need it anymore, or she abandoned it, I press the play button casually, listen to the song inside, I don't know why, I can suddenly imagine what this girl looks like。

Many years ago, this girl wore a set of school uniforms, painted with a lot of strange patterns, combed her safsoon hair, cut oblique bangs, stepped on sneakers, laughed and played every day, longed for love, and secretly fell in love with the head teacher behind her back, thinking that the happiest thing was to have a big lollipop, holding a domestic double-speaker button mobile phone, squatting next to the corridor next to the school, a cigarette, you can spit out a lot of smoke rings, holding the mobile phone at an oblique angle of 45 degrees and looking up at the sky, 'click' to take a photo, send a talk, write a sentence"Forget love".

Maybe we are the same age, have the same youth, and have the same experience, maybe the moment she took off the puppet costume, she chose to accept the reality, learned to accept the more and more revealing clothes, and slowly accepted the crowds of people around her, began to put on heavy makeup, and learned to be false and wrongful to this society.

"Bad Girl", "City House", "Guest Officers Can't", "No Makeup", ...... One by one, they were all songs from many years ago, and the melody of the song at that time was very simple, and we at that time were also very simple.

The MP3 left by the girl, as my only entertainment tool in this puppet, listened to it over and over again with headphones, avoided the hustle and bustle outside, looked at the street outside through the vents of the puppet, and was really a little confused, I always looked forward to growing up when I was a child, but when I really grew up, I found that life was very tired.

Wearing a twenty-pound costume, nearly ten hours of walking and standing, is a very hard thing, especially in the airtight puppet costume, this feeling is even more uncomfortable, when there is the sun, the body is constantly dripping with sweat, as the sun sets, the temperature outside decreases, and the sweat on the body has become an accomplice of the night, and there is a biting cold everywhere on the body.

At ten o'clock in the evening, I finally sent out the leaflet in my hand, and when I returned to the store and took off my puppet costume, my whole person was close to collapse, and I didn't even have the strength to help lift the chair, after work, the streets were still brightly lit, but there were not many pedestrians, and the last bus was just past the time of suspension, and I was reluctant to spend money on a taxi, so I could only drag my tired body and walk slowly in the direction of home.

Life is difficult, but when I think of Lin Xuan, my heart is still quite steady.

I thought that for me, there was no day more difficult than this moment, but I didn't know that from this moment on, my life in Shenyang has entered the countdown.
