Wuji (Volume 4) Chapter 5 Hardships

In fact, the last thing we lack is the experience accumulated again and again after failure, and what we lack is only the courage to start over. It is easy to dare to face up to all your failures, but it is even harder to do it than to climb to the sky. The expectations of our parents, the ridicule of others, the contempt of our colleagues, the dissatisfaction of our master, and the white eyes of others have made us almost hopeless in our pain again and again, and after despair, we gritted our teeth and tried again, and just like this over and over again, we have transformed into adults. I hope that all those who read this book will not lack the courage to start all over again......

On the hard seat of the last carriage of the green train, Zhao Bo quietly flipped through a copy of Yu Qiuyu's "Cultural Journey", occasionally looking out the window, concentrating in a daze. From three months ago to now, he has successively turned over more than a dozen third-tier or second-tier cities, but nothing has been found.

Maybe dreaming of this kind of thing is just a kind of relief and relief in people's hearts, Zhao Bo thought. For some time on end, he wandered into all kinds of chaotic and cramped bars, relying on his hoarse voice and guitar to get a bite to eat. The result is always unsatisfactory, no boss is willing to take him in, he is not famous, and he is not handsome, the three sing are good but not famous, and he can't bring much business to his store. Therefore, Zhao Bo was rejected again and again.

For three months, Zhao Bo slept secretly in the subway station, and occasionally spent the night in the corridor of a certain community or in the self-service cash hall of a bank. I eat steamed buns that I bought with money, and I drink mineral water for a bottle of one dollar. However, even so, a month ago, when he spent the night in the corridor of a dilapidated neighborhood, he was robbed of the only change and mobile phone he was carrying by drunks passing by, and his beloved guitar was broken by drunks in the process of scrambling, and he was punched in the face with a dozen solid punches.

When Zhao Bo got up from the ground, he howled and cried, helplessly not knowing where to start. But fortunately, an old man selling fried skewers in the old community took Zhao Bo in and kept Zhao Bo by his side, wanting to recognize him as his godson. The old man had no children or daughters under his knees, and his wife died early, so he was alone and lived in this dilapidated community.

Faced with the old man's request, Zhao Bo didn't think about it, he agreed, and now there is nothing more encouraging than the warmth given by others when he is down.

Zhao Bo matched the old man for a whole month, and finally decided to go to SZ, the southernmost city of the motherland. Before leaving, the old man gave him 3,000 yuan, but Zhao Bo didn't ask for it, but just asked for 500 yuan to buy a hard-seat train ticket to SZ. It wasn't until after getting on the train that Zhao Bo opened his guitar bag and found that there was a neat 3,000 yuan wrapped in a small flower cloth inside, and for a moment, tears welled up in his eyes......

The green train traveled for almost a day and a night before finally arriving at SZ. As soon as he got out of the car, a heat wave swept through Zhao Bo's whole body, except that it was still hot. There was a dense crowd of people everywhere around the train station, and the crowd squeezed the helpless Zhao Bo to the other side, kicking him breathlessly.

Zhao Bo's eyes quickly scanned, looked east and west, and watched enviously as a beautiful woman entered a BMW car surrounded by her parents. I saw a young man in white short sleeves hugging his girlfriend who was running towards him. And then there's a little bit of a hurry, well-dressed elite who greet them skillfully with a vigorous pace.

"Hello, brother, you came to SZ to look for a job, right?" Zhao Bo was gently patted on the shoulder. Looking back, three young men stood behind him and smiled sweetly at him. The leader is a trendy man wearing short sleeves of the crane soaring, wearing big sunglasses, and combing his big back.

"Ang, I'm here to see SZ. "Zhao Bo is a little hesitant.

The trendy man shook his arm, and a man behind respectfully handed over a bottle of Baisui Mountain mineral water, and the trendy man skillfully unscrewed the cap of the bottle, handed the water to Zhao Bo and said: "Hey, brother, don't tease me, the people who come to SZ are either locals or looking for jobs, you don't look like a tourist." ”

Zhao Bo looked at the mineral water handed over, and he didn't accept it, and he didn't accept it. Stammered and stretched out his arm to block: "That, thank you, thank you, I, I'm not thirsty." ”

"Look at you, brother, what are you afraid of, we're not bad people, let's be honest, we're from Yunmeng Photography Studio, and we recently filmed a TV series here in SZ, and we want to choose a few suitable group performances, so let's come to the train station to see if we can try our luck, didn't I just meet you." The trendy man took off his sunglasses, and the corners of his eyes were full of red pimples.

Zhao Bo saw that the trendy man handed over the mineral water again, so he could only catch it carefully, took a sip gently, and immediately closed the bottle cap and asked, "You said you are from the crew?"

"That's still fake, this is my work card! Come on, little brother, why don't you go to the square outside. The trendy man enthusiastically pulled Zhao Bo out. Zhao Bo shirked again and again, but he couldn't resist the temperament of a trendy man and was pulled out.

Zhao Bozai carefully looked at the work card of the trendy man, which read: Feihao Film Group Project Department, the name and position are at the bottom, and the trendy man is actually the administrative director and director of the branch. Zhao Bo was about to take a closer look, and the trendy man began to speak again: "Little brother, listen to your accent, is it SX." ”

"I'm not from SX, I'm from NX next to SX. Zhao Bo looked up and said.

The trendy man suddenly laughed: "You are NX, I am SX, this is my ID card, you see! ”

Zhao Bo turned out that the man's ID card was indeed SX's, and he was half a fellow.

The man held Zhao Bo's hand tightly and said: "Little brother, why are the two of them fateful, don't rush to anything else, just rush to the sake of the two fellow countrymen, come to our company to do a group performance! The salary is 500 yuan a day, including food and accommodation, this is a contract, you can take a look, if there is no problem, sign it, and the contract will take effect on the same day." ”

Zhao Bo hurriedly took the contract and thought to himself, five hundred yuan a day, then a month's salary is fifteen thousand, which is too high. I was really lucky, I was able to encounter such a good thing as soon as I came to SZ, it was a dream.

The trendy man patted Zhao Bo's shoulder again, and said kindly: "Of course, you take a good look at the contract, after joining the company, you have to conduct a month of employee training, and the training fee is 2,000 yuan. ”

Zhao Bozai carefully read the contract over and over again, there was indeed no problem, and after hesitation, he signed the contract.

The trendy man was very enthusiastic, and instructed the two young men to take Zhao Bo around SZ today, experience the humanistic customs, browse the cityscape of SZ, and then come to see the staff dormitory after dinner in the evening.

The two men were also very serious and careful, and took Zhao Bo to visit the major "corners" of SZ, and enthusiastically took Zhao Bo to eat a meal of "grunt meat" in the afternoon. At the dinner table, the two young men could be described as gobbling up, and Zhao Bo was a little flustered when he saw it.

In such a big company, how can these two men be like starving ghosts and have never eaten? Zhao Bo thought so in his heart, but he still showed great happiness on his face, talking and laughing with the two men.

In the evening, the two men took Zhao Bo to take the subway and then change buses, and came to an old-looking community. The paint on the walls of the community has all fallen off, revealing gray and black bricks, and there is no elevator.

The two men led Zhao Bo to the third floor and knocked lightly on the door three times. It was the trendy man who opened the door, and greeted Zhao Bo into the door with a smile on his face. After Zhao Bo entered, he found that there were more than a dozen men and women crowded into a two-bedroom and two-hall house of about 90 square meters. They all sat on the ground, their eyes glazed, and it wasn't until Zhao Bo looked at them that he barely squeezed out a smile that was more uncomfortable than crying.

Before Zhao Bo could doubt, he heard the trendy man take the lead in applauding and said: "Let's welcome new colleagues to join our big family, everyone applauds." ”

In the crackling applause, Zhao Bo was flattered and pulled to the middle of the crowd, first began to introduce himself, and then sang a song for everyone. The people on the ground seemed to be unstingy with their applause, and the clapping sound was much warmer than the applause when Zhao Bo sang in the bar. This made Zhao Bo feel very warm and enjoyed the feeling of being focused by everyone's eyes.

After a series of events last night, the trendy man made a speech, and the things he talked about were wonderful and vivid, which was nothing more than that everyone should work hard, and in the future, they would be blessed and enjoy the same difficulties, and seek benefits for the company's big collective and big family. Zhao Bo listened very teachable, he felt that there was a kind of charm in the trendy man that he couldn't tell, he talked extraordinary, his performance was extraordinary, and his experience was extraordinary, which really made him admire.

Zhao Bo finally figured out that there were ten men in the house, including two men who played with him during the day, and seven women, who lived in the same house. At night, the women slept in the east bedroom, and the men slept in the west bedroom.

The trendy man checked Zhao Bo's backpack, took away his 2,000 yuan "training fee", praised him well, and gave Zhao Bo a pen and a notebook, telling him to adapt to the bad environment here and the colleagues around him. The initial one-month training was hard, and it was good to get used to it, and after a month, the company would reassign him a single dormitory, and Zhao Bo was very moved.

Zhao Bo felt that this company was really strange, but the next day he fell in love with the life here, the training was not very hard, he got up on time every morning, everyone lined up to brush their teeth and wash their faces for breakfast, breakfast was steamed buns and salt, and there was porridge with few grains of rice. Then, there will be a special "teacher" to teach these people, talking about some typical examples of business success from the beginning, and they will also be asked to flip through some success books and the like, such as "Murphy's Law", "To Glory", "Wolf Road", and then take notes.

The lunch menu consists of cabbage soup and raw rice, and occasionally shredded potatoes with chopstick-thick ends to improve the meal. This is followed by a lunch break, and in the afternoon classes continue to take notes. At the end of dinner, someone will take them to play games, play cards, chat, and talk about their lives and experiences.

Although the days are poor, but Zhao Bo enjoys it, he thinks that this is the tempering of his life and will, there is no mutual ridicule between colleagues here, there is no beating around the bush of people's hearts, there are no stumbling blocks everywhere, and there is no huge pressure, except for learning is learning, it is very fulfilling.

But what Zhao Bo didn't know at all, the company he entered was called: MLM!
