Chapter 18: A Mess
During the two months of summer vacation, Lin Xiao found a temporary holiday worker in Luopu City.
It's only been one year in college, and I have no academic qualifications, no skills, only miscellaneous work. After several twists and turns, Lin Xiao finally found a job selling air conditioners, holding the advertising slogans and flyers of the merchants, and went out to promote, promote and attract customers. There is a basic salary of 50 yuan per day, and the commission is calculated separately, and each successful customer is pulled to buy an air conditioner, the commission is 20%, and the price of an air conditioner is at least 2,000 yuan.
In this way, Lin Xiao began her summer part-time life. Every morning, I go out with a few college students who are also working part-time during the holidays, and then go their separate ways, each trying to win customers.
The sun is scorching, walking through the streets and alleys, and the mouth is dry.
When you are thirsty and have no money to buy water, you find public tap water, take a few sips, then rinse your sweaty and dusty head with cold water, and continue on your way.
When I'm hungry, I buy a few baked cakes and buns on the street, and swallow them under tap water.
Lin Xiao is not good at talking, has strong self-esteem, and when he encounters customers who dislike him and have a bad attitude, he is very shocked in his heart, and he is unwilling to be cheeky and continue to stammer, he is unwilling to wronged himself. However, after persisting for a few days, he was full of contradictions when he saw that other people were pulling customers to buy air conditioners one after another and get commissions.
In order to survive, he had to change himself! So, he began to speak to strangers, he began to be courteous, he began to pat himself on the back, and he began to smile at others against his will...... In the face of cynicism and even insults from others, he learned to be patient.
They sell air conditioners during the day, but they don't use them at night.
The dormitory space is cramped, six people are crammed into a small room, sleeping at night, mosquitoes are flying all over the sky, the heat is unbearable, sweating like rain, it is difficult to sleep.
Finally stayed up until the dead of night, Lin Xiao secretly ran out of the window alone and cried: This is the university, this is life, I finally climbed out of the ravine, and I still have to live like this, God is so unfair......
I must live! Tired of crying, he swore secretly in his heart.
The effort was not in vain, and finally pulled the customer, an old lady saw that he was pitiful, so he bought the air conditioner he advertised, and got the commission, he was full of gratitude to the old lady, the old lady was very kind, and said to Lin Xiao when he left: "Young man, when you are young, you have to suffer a little, there is nothing!
Lin Xiao was in tears and remembered it in her heart.
After more than a month, Lin Xiao brought in a few more customers, and finally saved enough tuition and accommodation fees for the sophomore year: 4,500 yuan, and bought a Nokia mobile phone: 280 yuan.
Sophomore year has begun.
Lin Xiao had been in Luopu City during the summer vacation, and soon arrived at the school and found that many students had not yet arrived. In order to increase its influence and maintain its image, the school plans to select some volunteers to work as traffic coordinators at the railway station to maintain traffic order.
Lin Xiao actively signed up to participate.
On this day, Lin Xiao was busy and another classmate took over, so he went to the side to have some food.
On the way, I met a middle-aged uncle, dressed in tatters, looking very anxious, and took the initiative to step forward and say to Lin Xiao:
"Student, you're doing well, can you do a favor?"
Lin Xiao looked at him pitifully and asked curiously:
"Uncle, what's the matter with you?
"My baby is also starting school, I want to send him money, but I lost my card, can I borrow your card, transfer it to my baby first, and my cash will be given to you!" said the uncle, his hands trembling and taking out a wad of money from his pocket.
Lin Xiao then asked:
"How much do you need to turn?"
"Let's transfer him 1,000 yuan first!" replied the uncle.
Lin Xiao is also a child from a poor family, and it is not easy to look at the uncle, thinking that the money in his card is enough, so he agreed:
"Okay, uncle, I'll help you with this!"
So, Lin Xiao took her uncle to a nearby ATM, took out her bank card, and said:
"Uncle, this is my card, you can use it!"
"You plug in the card first, and then I'll transfer the money when it's done. Uncle said with a smile.
"Good!"
After Lin Xiao finished speaking, inserted the card, entered the password, and logged in successfully, then turned to the uncle and said:
"Uncle, I've done it!
"Okay! Thank you!" After speaking, the uncle came to transfer money, took out a diary, flipped through it for a while, and said:
"Oh! I didn't have his account in this book! I took it wrong!" After the uncle finished speaking, he took out the card, handed it to Lin Xiao, and then said:
"I'm really sorry to bother you, I got the wrong book! I'll go back and look for it now!"
Lin Xiao saw that the uncle was also old, and his memory might not be good, so he said:
"It's okay, it's okay, uncle, you go back and look for it! I'm on traffic duty over there, you can find me again if you need it!"
The uncle was grateful, thanked him again and again, and left in a hurry after speaking.
Lin Xiao went to a small restaurant next to him to eat.
While eating, the mobile phone suddenly shook in his trouser pocket, Lin Xiao took it out and looked at it, stunned: Your savings card account with the tail number **** ...... The cash withdrawal expenditure is 4,500 yuan, and the current balance is 1.13 yuan!
Lin Xiao hurriedly ran out to report the case......
The password was snooped, the card was dropped, and the hard-earned tuition fees were cheated out......
Lin Xiao sat at the police station and hugged her head and cried.
The policeman came over to comfort him and said: "Young man, you will have a long memory in the future! You must not have the heart of harming others, and you must not have the heart of guarding against others! You are kind and do good deeds, but it is a pity that you have met bad people!"
Lin Xiao didn't want to speak.
After returning to school, Lin Xiao found a counselor to complain.
The counselor was very sympathetic and finally said:
"I want to find a way to see if I can apply for a student loan for you this semester!
Lin Xiao was grateful.
On the way back to the dormitory, his heart was like a knife, his heart was like a numb, Lin Xiao cried again, he didn't dare to tell his family about it, he really didn't dare to ......
Yuan Haiyun and Wang Chaofeng, who are in the same dormitory, and Wang Chaofeng, who is in the same dormitory, have reached the point of being persuaded to quit; the other two students from the countryside, Song Nan in the same dormitory, and a girl with low self-esteem and introverted self-esteem cannot keep up with the pace of study in college, and they are about to reach the point of being persuaded to quit.
In the end, Wang Chaofeng, who had no background, was seriously absent from school, addicted to games, hung red lights in many homework, and was persuaded to quit by the school, so he left alone, no one sent him, and he has been missing since.
Yuan Haiyun has resources at home, found the teacher, and the teacher helped him find an excuse to say good things: Yuan Haiyun usually behaves well, is helpful, and has a noble character, and asks the school to give him another chance, but in the end the school only gave him a serious warning and a one-year probation. Yuan Haiyun learned that he was fine, he was in a happy mood, fluttering, and spent money to invite Yang Ping, Yin Jie, and Liu Shuai to dinner to celebrate, and continued to go to college in peace. He didn't like Lin Xiao's frequent limelight at school, and even more despised Song Nan's stupidity, so he deliberately didn't invite him.
Song Nan was under a lot of mental pressure, studying on his own every day, going to the library, and his studies still did not improve. On weekdays, he is even more alone, acting strangely, and making people unpredictable.
A few days later, several policemen suddenly came to the school and arrested Liu Shuai, who was in the same dormitory!
