On the night I was expelled from the café, I was still the same as before, pretending that nothing had happened and then Lin Xuan got off work, and I didn't mention my resignation to her, otherwise I would be as smart as Lin Xuan, and I would definitely be able to guess the reason for my departure, before Lin Xuan spent all the money on his body in order to pay compensation for me, and borrowed half a month's salary from the hotel, so when the two of us returned to the rental house in the demolition area, the dinner was still clear water noodles, and when I watched Lin Xuan pick up the rice bowl and eat noodles, I felt very bad in my heart, at this moment, I suddenly regretted a little, I didn't accept the money Huang Huai gave me during the dayAfter all, in this city where no one knows me, compared with my urgent expectation of making Lin Xuan's life better, my face seems to be really worthless, I have been mixed in the society for so many years, and a little arrogance that has just formed in my body is gradually being worn out by life.

The next morning, Lin Xuan and I got up early, and then sent her to the hotel, and after Lin Xuan left, I stood alone on the cross street, really a little dazed, I was in the city, no one I knew, and I didn't know where to find a job, but when I remembered the scene of Lin Xuan eating clear water noodles, I still wandered aimlessly along the street.

All morning, I wandered in front of various shops with job advertisements, but there are really not many jobs suitable for me, those slightly more high-end hotels or western restaurants or something, even if it is recruiting waiters, all need a high school degree or above, and I rely on my initial Chinese certificate, and a series of case records, as well as tattoos on my body, have always been turned away, occasionally one or two places willing to take me in, the salary is pitifully low, less than 15,000 a month, I thought twice, and did not stay, the reason I refused these jobs, not because they are so hard and tired, but simply because the wages of these positions are too low, When I worked at Shao Nan before, my monthly salary was almost 4,000 yuan, but now it has suddenly dropped to about 1,000, and after a long time, Lin Xuan will definitely see the clues.

In the morning, I didn't gain anything except the heavy weight of lead in my legs, and my stomach was also rumbling with hunger, and I kept sour water from my stomach upwards, especially after committing a cigarette addiction, the feeling of weakness in my body made me even more dazed and dizzy.

'Whoa!'

Not far from me, a beggar dressed in a black cheek that could no longer see its original color, and leaked cotton everywhere, held a plastic bag in his hand, and unfolded it, revealing half of the pancake fruit that had been discarded inside, and after a while, the beggar's cheeks, which could no longer see the original color, were as dark as Africans, and a mouthful of burnt teeth appeared, and when he bit down, the sauce overflowed, and he was sprinkled all over his body, but the beggar didn't care, chewed heavily, and at the same time took out half a bottle of mineral water that he didn't know where to pick up, and poured two sips。

'Boom!'

I sat on the steps in front of a street shop, watching a beggar feasting there, and I swallowed my saliva unconsciously, thinking about how ridiculous, a bastard who had been mixed up for so many years and was quite famous in his hometown, was reduced to the point of squatting on the streets of Shenyang, watching the beggars eat, thinking of this, I laughed out loud.

'Smack!'

As I was looking at it, a passerby casually threw a cigarette that had just been lit and had not yet smoked a few puffs beside me, and then walked into the shop behind me.

"The garbage can is less than ten meters away from you, can't you take two more steps? What quality!" I muttered to myself, condemning the immoral behavior of pedestrians, and at the same time stood up and patted the dust on my buttocks, lit the half of the cigarette, put it in my mouth, and took a puff of smoke, and the whole person suddenly felt a lot more energetic, and it seemed that I didn't even feel so hungry in my stomach.

'Whoa!'

While I was smoking, a breeze blew, and then a newspaper was swept by the wind and stuck to my lap, I reached out and picked up the newspaper and looked at it, and was instantly attracted by the countless words "recruitment" on it.

I held the newspaper blown by the wind, stared at it for a long time, and felt a sense of loss in my heart, because I suddenly found that the society that has been mixed for so long, in addition to holding a knife and gun, but I don't even have the most basic survival skills, in this newspaper, more than eighty percent of the recruitment information, basically requires candidates to have certain vocational skills, even if it is a factory recruitment, it also needs skilled workers, I picked up my mobile phone, tried to make a few calls, and finally got a very uniform answer, according to my current situation, even if I go to work in the factory, I can only enter the field as an apprentice, not only the working hours are long, and the salary is not more than 1,000 yuan, One of the best-paid ones, gave me a job of just a handyman, with a monthly salary of 1,003, working 24 hours, and resting 24 hours, hearing this condition, I sighed and hung up the phone again, because I now have to go home to accompany Lin Xuan every night, so the scope of finding a job can only be limited to the daytime, so that there are fewer choices to make.

After dialing the phone number of the factory, I looked down and looked at the message at the bottom of the job posting: the logistics company is recruiting security guards, with a monthly salary of 2,007 and room and board.

After thinking about it for a long time, with my current situation, if I want to find another job, there must be no hope, in order to survive, it seems that I have no choice but to work as a security guard, thinking of this, I took out my mobile phone and dialed the other party again.

……

The address of the logistics company I applied for, located in Shenbei New District, is located in Tiexi District, where we are located, almost nearly 40 kilometers apart, during which I had to pour several buses, in order to make up the money for taking the bus, I sold my mobile phone for a thousand yuan, and then spent more than 50 yuan to buy an old-fashioned Nokia 1100 with a black and white screen, after I had money, I first found a noodle restaurant, ate three bowls of noodles in one go, and finally had a stomachache, and then bought a pack of five yuan, and walked to the nearest bus stop。

I continued to explore the road all the way, and finally arrived at Shenbei New District after reversing the wrong bus for two buses, and the logistics company I applied for was located in an industrial park in Shenbei New District, which is a large-scale logistics warehouse.

After a long time in the logistics park, I found the company's office building in the dense logistics warehouse, and saw a group of people queuing at the door of the personnel department from a distance.

I stood at the end of the crowd, has been queuing for more than half an hour, until it was close to four o'clock, it was finally my turn, looking at the young man who came out of it, I threw away the cigarette butt in my hand, after tidying up my clothes, I walked into the personnel department in a nervous mood, as soon as I entered the door, there was a long table in front of me, and four men and women in professional clothes were sitting in the back, a pair of professional elites, it looked quite bluffing, seeing these four young people who were about the same age as me, I stood opposite them, and I felt an inexplicable sense of inferiority in my heart, and my face was full of embarrassment, and I didn't know how to speak for a while, let alone what to say。

A girl behind the long table seemed to see my embarrassment, and smiled and took the lead in speaking: "Please don't be nervous, let's introduce yourself first." ”

"Ah, hello, my name is Han Fei, and I'm from ......"

"We have limited time, so let's stop talking nonsense. Another boy interrupted me by waving his hand when he heard me introducing myself at length: "So, let me ask you, what is your education, bachelor's degree, graduate degree, master's degree, or doctorate?"

"Huh?!" I was stunned by the boy's question.

"I asked you what your education is, what are you nervous about. The boy glanced at me impatiently, "Since none of these are the case, then you graduated from a junior college?"

"Your company is just recruiting a security guard, and the requirements for academic qualifications are so high?" I was completely stunned by the boy's question.

"What security guard?" the boy looked at me, also at a loss: "We are recruiting professional translators who are connected with foreign-funded enterprises, and you are a security guard, what kind of excitement are you coming here to join!"

"No, I made a phone call before, and someone from your company told me that if you want to apply for a security guard, you have to report to the personnel department!"

"What personnel office, he said the factory affairs office, you go downstairs, the first room on the right hand. The boy looked at me with an impatient expression: "You are a security guard who came to us, isn't this a waste of time!"

"I'm sorry. After listening to the boy's words, I also felt very embarrassed, and stepped back.

"Next!" the boy ignored me and spoke again.

The lack of warmth and coldness seems to be a common problem in all big cities.

I left the personnel department and went to the factory office on the first floor, and after a brief exchange of words, they sent me to the security room at the gate of the courtyard.

'Bang!'

When I opened the door of the security room, there was smoke inside, and there were also many people standing, some wearing security uniforms and some wearing civilian clothes, and it looked like they were also recruiting, but it was obviously not as formal as in the building before.

"Hey, buddy, let me ask, who are you looking for when you apply for a security guard?" I looked at a security guard sitting on a chair and fiddling with my mobile phone, and lowered my head to ask.

"Inside, the one sitting in the chair is our captain. ”

"Hey, thank you. As the words fell, I thought I took a few steps forward and stood in front of the security captain.

"You are also applying for a job?" The security captain here is a big bald man in his forties, with a loud voice, and when he looks at people, he also has a high-spirited look.

"Yes. I smiled and nodded, "May I ask, what is the process for applying for a security guard?"

"There's no process, have you ever had a history of theft before?"

"Nope. ”

"Do you have any tattoos that can be exposed when you wear a uniform?"

"No!" After listening to the security captain's words, I shook my head again, feeling that according to the way he asked, I should have a play.

After listening to my words, the security captain glanced at me: "Okay, you have been hired, long-term night shift, two thousand a month, can you do it." ”

I frowned slightly: "Two thousand? I read the job advertisement, it's obviously two thousand seven?"

"It's just two thousand JB, you can do it, if you can't, roll the calf for me!" the security captain scolded unaccustomed at all.
