Chapter II

After arriving at BJ, I stayed in a hotel for a while. BJ is a city with a high cost of living, housing prices are high, and prices are expensive, so the top priority is to find a job as soon as possible and stabilize first. I logged into several professional job boards, signed up for a user account, and quickly received an interview invitation after submitting a few resumes.

The first interview invitation was a real estate company recruiting an assistant to the president. I wondered why the interview was held in a café? They said that because the president had a meeting in the morning, he chose a nearby place, and the president had to interview in person.

I arrived at the café at the appointed time, and at two o'clock in the afternoon there was hardly any one in the store, and when I looked around, there was only a man sitting in the corner with his head bowed, who was supposed to be the one who was going to interview me.

I walked over quickly and said to him, "Hello Mr. Chen! I am a fresh graduate who came for an interview this afternoon, and my name is Zhang Yuqiao." ”

When he looked up, it really startled me, the café was a little dim, and he actually had sunglasses. He grinned at me, "Don't be afraid, I didn't have a good rest yesterday, I have bags under my eyes! Please sit down!" as he spoke, he took off his sunglasses, his dark circles were very deep, and the bags under his eyes were puffy, giving people a sense of déjà vu that he had not slept well for a long time.

His eyes were long, narrow, and he kept looking me up and down, and for some reason, this gaze gave me an inexplicable sense of disgust.

He reached out and took the resume I handed over, scribbled through it, and suddenly a question popped up, "Do you have a boyfriend?"

I suppressed the disgust in my heart, and politely asked, "This, it doesn't seem to have anything to do with work, right?"

He suddenly raised his head and stared at me, "How can it be okay? If you have a boyfriend, it will definitely affect your work, and if you want to apply for an assistant position, it is best to be single." The company can also provide a one-bedroom apartment for you with a car for you to consider. ”

I couldn't hold back any longer, so I stood up from my seat all of a sudden, looked at him coldly and said, "Please give me back your resume." He looked at me in surprise, grabbed my resume, turned around and walked out of the café without looking back.

Because of the unpleasant experience of the first interview, I was very cautious about the companies I would interview later. I went online and carefully checked the qualifications and profiles of the remaining companies to be interviewed, and decided to go to a private art academy first.

It is an art school with a good brand and reputation in the industry, and has cultivated a large number of art students and design talents, and they are also recruiting administrative assistants to the dean. The interview process was very formal, the human resources director was interviewed with the dean of students and the dean, and the interview results were relatively satisfactory, in addition to informing me to go to work next Monday, I could also provide a free dormitory for the school's staff.

The dean took me to see my dormitory, which was only 12 or 3 square meters in size, small enough to put down a bed, a desk, and a wardrobe, and the bathroom was shared. But this is already a special treatment, because this is a separate dormitory, and the other staff dormitories are two or four people in one room.

I am grateful to the leaders of the academy for giving me a job with a good salary and a place to stay in the city when I was most frustrated.

As a newcomer to the workplace, you have to learn everything from scratch. There are more than 1,000 students in the academy, and it is a huge project to enter the data of each of them into the computer, so there are endless forms to complete every day. But that's fine, after getting busy, I don't have time to think about Feng Shao for the time being, and the time actually passed calmly for a month in the same kind of busyness.

When I got off work at noon that day, I unexpectedly received a strange phone call, "Yu Qiao, I'm Hao Lei, Feng Shao's younger brother, do you remember me?" I'm at the gate of your school now, can you come out for a while?" I thought about it and said to him, "Then you wait for me!" I went back to the dormitory, took out an envelope from the suitcase, I opened it and looked at it, and the IOU was lying there quietly.

When I walked to the entrance of the art academy, Hao Lei was sitting in the driver's seat of a white Audi, and when he saw me, he quickly opened the door and walked down.

"Yu Qiao, in fact, Brother Feng asked me to come to you, he knew from your roommate that you came to BJ, Brother Feng said that his woman can't live in the dormitory, he is too wronged by you. This is Brother Feng's apartment key in BJ, you have also been to this apartment, he decided to transfer it to you, and the transfer procedures have been completed. ”

He shook the key in his hand at me, and then pointed to the car next to him, "This Audi A5 is also newly bought, Brother Feng said that it is not a good car, but you can at least have a means of transportation, and you don't have to squeeze the bus and subway." You'll just drive away in a minute!"

I stood there motionless, didn't reach out to take the key, I looked at Hao Lei and said, "Feng Shao, is this going to compensate me?" Tell him that he doesn't have to, these are not what I want, I can support myself on my own, and I am very happy now." Also, you can give it to him!" I handed the envelope to Hao Lei, and he took it a little puzzled.

"This is the medical expenses that Feng Shao paid in advance when my father was sick before, a total of 100,000 yuan before and after, and it is very clear in the note, I will pay him back this money!"

"Yu Qiao, what are you doing here? This is too outward, you are Brother Feng's girlfriend, he won't ask for this money, you can take the IOU back!" Hao Lei took the envelope and wanted to return it to me.

"But not anymore!" I quickly turned around and ran back to the academy, leaving only Hao Lei, who was stunned, standing where he was......

That night, when I just turned off the lights and wanted to rest, at this time the mobile phone rang, it was Feng Shao, who called me for the first time in such a long time. I stared at the phone screen with mixed feelings and hung up. But a moment later, the phone rang again, and I hung up again. After repeating it a few times, Feng Shao seemed to be at odds with me, and I had the determination to keep calling if I didn't answer the phone, so I finally pressed the answer button helplessly.

"Yu Qiao, it's me, are you okay?" Feng Shao's familiar voice came.

I took a deep breath and forced the tears back from the corners of my eyes, trying to make my voice appear calm and indifferent, "You can be happy, don't worry about me!"

Feng Shao was silent for a while before he said to me, "Yu Qiao, I'm sorry, I always owe you you. I owe you, and I will make it up. His voice was low, with deep guilt.

I laughed on the phone, but tears fell from my eyes, "How do you want to make up for the car, the house, so I've always been a canary for your eldest young master, right?"

Feng Shao explained anxiously on the phone, "That's not the case, I don't allow you to say that about yourself." His voice was a little bitter, "The house is not very big, and the car is not very good." I just want you to have a home in BJ, I don't want my woman to have such a hard time, to squeeze the subway during the day and sleep in the "pigeon cage" at night. That's all I can do for you now......"

"Yes, in a family like yours, the first thing that comes to mind when you encounter anything is to solve it with money. I wiped the tears from my face vigorously, paused and said, "But everything in this world that can be measured by money is worthless in the end." A house without a lover is not called a home. In fact, I have always hoped that one day in the future, when we stand together, it will be a kind of equal height, and I will not have to look up to you. But there's no more chance, and I don't think we'll ever see each other again......"

"No, there won't be that day!" Feng Shao's voice on the phone looked flustered, "I won't allow you to leave me!"

"Forget about me, live well with her, bless you!" I pressed the shutdown button with tears in my eyes, this is the first time I took the initiative to hang up Feng Shao's phone, I always felt that the call was too short and not enough to chat.

I open the album of Leona Lewis on my ipad, and I always like to listen to her songs when I am down, her voice is hoarse and low, as if telling a sad and beautiful love story.

When I was a child, I loved reading fairy tales because both "Cinderella" and "Snow White" had a happy ending or happy ending, which made me mistakenly think that all love stories have the same ending. But now I gradually understand that maybe stories like "The Little Mermaid" are the truth of most love. The mermaid has no legs, so she can't stand at the same height as the prince in the first place. In order to get her legs up, she lost her voice again and could not confide in the prince. It is difficult to open her heart to love you, how painful it should be, she just stood there, watching the prince marry the princess......

A week later, Hao Lei called me again, but Feng Shao still insisted on giving me the house and car, which I also refused.

Hao Lei sighed and said, "Yu Qiao, why do you bother, you are a girl working hard in BJ, how long does it take to buy a house and a car, so that at least you can live without being so tired." Brother Feng's family background is special, and Brother Feng can't be his father's master in many things, so you should be more considerate......"
