In the afternoon, Chen Mengran watched a lot of recruitment advertisements at the entrances of major shopping malls and on some billboards. There are all kinds of job postings in it. There are recruiters who recruit salesmen, there are recruiters who recruit tutors, and there are all kinds of them. Of course, the most advertised jobs are for store salespeople and hotel waiters.

To be a salesman, you need to run around and have a commission, but the basic salary is very low, only 1,000 yuan. This is a good choice for those who can speak and talk, but of course it is not suitable for Chen Mengran's stuffy oil bottle character.

It's good to recruit tutors, but it's a pity that you need strong professional knowledge, Chen Mengran's college entrance examination results are so poor, there is no special strength in the exam, only English and Chinese barely pass in the four exams, such results can teach primary school children, but unfortunately, the people who really need tutors are all students in the first or second year of high school, Chen Mengran is not qualified to teach others at all, so this one will not work.

The salary of a salesperson in the store is too low, and only the hotel job is better.

Eventually, Chen Mengran fell in love with a big hotel called Shengweiju, where waiters were recruited. When he arrived at the hotel, he was greeted by a slightly chubby man, who spoke in a somewhat oily tone, and after introducing himself, Chen Mengran knew that this was the manager of the hotel's personnel department, surnamed Chen.

After briefly inquiring about Chen Mengran's situation, he nodded happily, and saw that he was still quite satisfied with Chen Mengran. To be able to do this position, of course this Manager Chen is not an ordinary person, he can see that Chen Mengran is a student who has just graduated, for students, they are willing to recruit, because they have not experienced social experience, they are still quite diligent in their work, unlike some fritters who have experienced society, they can be lazy and slippery, and no hotel will like this kind of person.

"The waiter's job is to serve dishes and wash dishes, eat at noon, eight hours a day, from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., with a four-hour break in between. The first two months are the internship period, and the salary is not high, 1,500 yuan for the first month, 1,800 yuan for the second month, and it can only be converted to ordinary salary in the third month. Manager Chen said.

Chen Mengran nodded, he wouldn't expect to be able to switch to an ordinary salary, because his time was only two months. However, at the moment, it seems that this salary is already considered the best. He doesn't care about being dirty and tired, all he cares about is making more money in a limited amount of time.

"Very well, you can come to work tomorrow. ”

After saying goodbye to Manager Chen, Chen Mengran returned home. I didn't feel tired after an afternoon of traveling, but I felt a little excited at the thought of starting to make money tomorrow.

When he arrived at home, Chen Mengran truthfully told him about his job search, and this time, his parents did not object. The college entrance examination is over, and the next time is very idle, and they are also happy to see their son hone in society.

The next day, after breakfast, Chen Mengran went out. At this time, there was still more than an hour before ten o'clock, and he wanted to use this time to take a good turn, maybe he could find a more suitable job.

As soon as he went out, there was a sound of footsteps upstairs, Chen Mengran saw that it was none other than Brother Wang and Sister Huo, the two of them went downstairs arm in arm, talking and laughing, not to mention how affectionate they were.

If he hadn't encountered that incident, Chen Mengran would have been touched by the love between the two, but unfortunately, now he doesn't feel it at all, especially when he sees the happy smile on Sister Huo's face, it makes Chen Mengran feel cold, and secretly says that this woman is really scheming, and her acting skills are so high.

"Xiao Chen. Brother Wang greeted Chen Mengran in a friendly manner.

"Brother Wang. Chen Mengran nodded to Brother Wang, but Sister Huo couldn't say that sentence anyway.

"Xiao Chen, where are you going?" Sister Huo asked with a smile.

Chen Mengran glanced at it coldly and did not answer.

Sister Huo was shocked, Chen Mengran's eyes made her very uncomfortable, as if she had some secrets being peeped at.

Her forehead was slightly lowered, and she didn't dare to look into Chen Mengran's eyes.

"Xiao Chen, what did your sister Huo ask you, where are you going?" Brother Wang said.

"Oh, I got a job and I'm going to work now. ”

"Oh, that's right. I heard that the results of the college entrance examination have come down, how did you do in the exam?"

"The test was not very ideal. ”

"It doesn't matter, you work so hard, even if you don't do well in the exam, you won't regret it in the future. ”

Brother Wang simply comforted Chen Mengran with a few words.

While talking, several people had already walked downstairs, and after Brother Wang said a few words of separation, he left with Sister Huo.

After walking a few steps, Sister Huo went back to take a look, but found that Chen Mengran was still looking at her, so frightened that she quickly turned around.

When the figures of the two disappeared, Chen Mengran came back to his senses.

His heart is also very uncomfortable, he would rather not know anything, and he does not want the image of a good sister in his heart to be tarnished, which makes him disappointed in the world.

Sighing, Chen Mengran left in the opposite direction.

In an hour, Chen Mengran looked for a few more billboards, but unfortunately, he did not find a more suitable job. Chen Mengran doesn't plan to look for it anymore, it takes time to find a job, now time is money, waste this time, even if you really find a better job in the end, then the wasted time can't be made up, and in the end it still outweighs the loss.

So Chen Mengran decided to work as a waitress in the hotel for two months.

Looking at the time, there was still half an hour before ten o'clock, Chen Mengran walked towards the Shengweiju Hotel.

When I arrived at an intersection, I suddenly found that there were a lot of people around, and some people pointed in one direction and talked about it. Out of curiosity, Chen Mengran stepped forward and listened carefully to the conversations of those people to know that it was a car accident, as if a woman had just been hit and killed.

This kind of heavy car accident will happen in a few days in the metropolis, so Chen Mengran didn't care, he was also in a hurry now, and he didn't have time to watch this kind of excitement.

When Chen Mengran left, he didn't notice that the stone hanging around his neck flickered.

At ten o'clock, Chen Mengran knocked on the door of Manager Chen's office on time.

"It's very punctual. Manager Chen was satisfied.

Let Chen Mengran sit and wait for a while, he picked up the landline on the table and made a call. Shortly after hanging up the phone, a woman under thirty years old and wearing a black professional suit walked in.

The woman was wearing black high heels, a little taller than Chen Mengran, and she had a great aura. As soon as she came in, she had a professional smile on her face, which was naturally sweet, which was trained for a long time.

"Manager Chen. The woman bowed respectfully to Manager Chen.

Manager Chen nodded casually, and then pointed at Chen Mengran and said, "This is a new waiter, today is the first day of work, you find someone to take him with him, so that he can familiarize himself with the working environment here." ”

"I understand. ”

Manager Chen pointed to the aura woman and said, "This is Manager Han, the lobby manager of this hotel, you follow her in a while, and she will teach you how to do a good job." ”

Chen Mengran nodded.

The two of them walked out of Manager Chen's office, and the professional smile on Manager Han's face disappeared instantly, and instead looked at Chen Mengran sterly and asked, "What is your name, how old are you, have you ever worked as a waiter before?"

She threw out three questions in a row, and her tone was like interrogating a prisoner, and although Chen Mengran felt uncomfortable, she still answered her.

"I just graduated from high school, so I'm afraid I'm working part-time. ”

Chen Mengran didn't hide it and nodded.

Manager Han didn't say anything, she has seen a lot of part-time jobs like this, not to mention part-time jobs, even full-time and two-day picking, this kind of thing, she has long been surprised.

took Chen Mengran to a girl about his age and told her to teach Chen Mengran.

After the girl agreed, she began to take Chen Mengran to visit the hotel. While taking Chen Mengran to visit various facilities in the hotel, introducing the working environment, and chatting with Chen Mengran from time to time.

At first, Chen Mengran was submissive, but finally let go and chatted with the girl.

Through the chat, Chen Mengran knew that the girl's name was Yanhong, two years older than herself, and she was not from this city, but only worked in Pingjin. I worked in the hotel for two years and is now a maître d'être.

"You're from this city. ”

"yes. ”

"Then why do you want to work here?"

"I'm just here to work to earn some tuition, and in two months, I'm going to go to school. ”

"Oh, so you're a college student. Hey, let me teach a college student to work, and suddenly I feel so stressed. ”

"Just treat me like a normal person. ”

In the morning, Yan Hong took Chen Mengran to visit the entire hotel, talked about some hotel rules, and finally briefly introduced his work, that is, simple dishes and dishes, etc., which is very simple, but the workload is very heavy, Chen Mengran just tried to withdraw a table of banquets, and he was so tired that his wrists hurt.

In the afternoon, Yan Hong brought him another waiter's clothes and asked him to change them, so that Chen Mengran officially went to work.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Chen Mengran finished his day's work and dragged his tired body home. He felt weak all over his body, especially his waist, legs, and wrists, as if they had been filled with lead. Only now does he realize that the job is not easy.

"My son is back, how is it, are you tired?"

As soon as she entered the door, Chen's mother asked with concern. Chen's father was sitting on the sofa watching TV, and when he saw Chen Mengran enter the door, he also showed a concerned gaze

"Not tired, easy work. Chen Mengran endured his exhaustion and forced out a smile.

Chen's mother pulled Chen Mengran to the dining table and brought the prepared dinner to the table. Chen Mengran has no appetite at all now, and after a tired day, he now wants to go back to his room and sleep well.

However, in order not to let his parents see anything, Chen Mengran still endured sleepiness and ate some, and rushed to help his mother clean up the dining table before returning to the room.
