chapter 005
"Hey Yugui, are you listening to me?!" Mak Qixian asked discouragedly.
"I'm listening." Yu Gui said and turned the book in his hand to another page and said, "It's quite powerful." But this kind of resume is not particularly rare in the Ivy, why are you so excited? Is there another reason? ”
"You kid, can you not always be so sharp!" Mai Qixian's eyes lit up, and he leaned over to Yu Gui's side and lowered his voice and said, "Let me tell you, the most important thing is that I heard that this professor is not an ordinary handsome!" Tut-tut, you can talk about small fresh meat with a high appearance like this, can I not be interested! ”
Although Yu Gui's answer to him was helpless, he was not surprised, shook his head and said, "Then you go and rub it, I won't accompany you." ”
"Why?! Don't you want to see what he looks like? ”
"No particular thoughts." Yu Gui said and picked up his phone and looked at the date, "And I've been too busy lately to have time to skip classes." ”
"Haven't you finished your homework, what are you busy with?!"
"It's almost midterm, ready to revise. And isn't there a job fair this Friday, I want to go and see it, and I have to prepare my resume. Yu Gui stretched his waist and said.
"You ......" Mak Qixian's expression suddenly became deeper, and this time the seriousness on his face was obviously different from what he had pretended to be just now. Are you really not going to apply for graduate school or a PhD? ”
"Well, graduate school costs too much, and the PhD cycle is too long, neither of which is suitable for me." Yu Gui's expression was faint, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
Mai Qixian's eyebrows were furrowed, lying on the table and staring at Yu Gui, his face was full of words and stops.
"I know what you're trying to say." When Yu Gui saw him like this, he said it for him: "Don't feel sorry for me, the road I chose myself, and I won't regret it." ”
"Besides," he paused and added, "there's nothing wrong with working directly, a lot of people are like that, and I'm not special." ”
"But your grades are so good, if you are Shenbo, it will be absolutely fine......"
Yu Gui smiled: "Maizi, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will apply again, but now is not the time." ”
Mak Qixian listened to his words and knew that it was useless to persuade him, Yu Guiyi had always had a very correct idea, but he would not change anything that was decided.
Sighing, Mai Qixian rubbed his sleeve as a rag on the table for two more times, sat up straight and said, "Then I really went to class by myself?" ”
"Go ahead, I'll wait for you to eat together after class."
"Okay, contact us then!" After Mai Qixian finished speaking, he glanced at Yu Gui twice before leaving with his schoolbag.
After Yu Gui left, he opened the unmodified resume on his computer and stared at the word interface.
In fact, he didn't know the difficulties that undergraduates might encounter when looking for jobs, but it was unrealistic for him to continue his studies now.
Not to mention graduate school, he can't afford nearly $50,000 a year and no scholarships. Although the doctor has a scholarship and can also get a salary, it is not much after all, it is five years, and he is afraid that if anything happens to his grandmother's health, he will not be able to come up with enough money to pay for the expensive medical expenses here.
Therefore, after considering all aspects, Yu Gui decided that he should work first to earn money, and it would not be too late to go back to school to study for a degree when conditions permitted.
I just don't know what kind of job he can find in his first job and how much he can get a starting salary.
When Yu Gui thought of these things, his heart felt heavy.
※
On the day he went to the job fair, Yu Gui changed into a formal suit, a suit and leather shoes, and his beard was deliberately shaved clean, looking very energetic.
First impressions matter, and this is what his grandmother told him repeatedly before going out.
However, Yu Guihao has also interviewed a few times and done two internships, so he is not particularly nervous now. It's just that this time I'm going to a formal job, so I'm a little apprehensive.
After an afternoon, Yu Gui almost voted for the companies he was interested in, and had a good chat with the representatives in charge of recruitment in various companies, only a few recruitment representatives euphemistically expressed regret that Yu Gui only had a bachelor's degree.
Yu Gui has nothing to complain about this, he put his hope on several other companies, the resume has been accepted by the other party, and then he waits to see if he can receive the interview notice.
"Eh--sorry!" Yu Gui had been thinking about things with his head down just now, and walked to the bathroom while thinking, but when he was about to enter the door, he accidentally bumped into a person, he quickly apologized, but when he raised his head, he was dumbfounded.
"Return!" The surprise in Yan Shu's eyes was undisguised, and he directly pulled Yu Gui away from the bathroom door, then looked at his clothes and said, "Are you here to participate in the job fair?" ”
"Just now, yes......"
"And now? Going? Yan Shu asked curiously.
Yu Gui looked at him and said helplessly: "Now I want to go to the toilet......"
“……”
“……”
The two of them looked at each other, and after a few seconds, Yan Shu suddenly took a step to the side, lowered his head and blushed and said, "I'm sorry, you can go quickly......"
“…… Oh. Yu Gui wanted to laugh for a moment, and said forcibly: "Actually, it's not very urgent. ”
Yan Shu was stunned: "Then why don't we go to dinner together first?" ”
"......" Seeing Yu Gui looking at him speechlessly, Yan Shu silently added: "There are also toilets in the restaurant......"
"Poof--" Yu Gui really couldn't hold back at this moment, and laughed vigorously while holding his stomach, making everyone in and out of the bathroom look at them.
Yan Shu was still standing there with a bewildered look, and when he saw him, he couldn't help but laugh even harder. In the end, Yan Shu really couldn't stand it, bent over and pulled up Yu Gui, who was already squatting on the ground with a smile, and said softly: "Don't laugh, your stomach will hurt like this." ”
"I don't want to, it's you who are too funny......" Yu Gui leaned his back against the wall, pressed his stomach with one hand, and put the other hand on Yan Shu's shoulder and panted, slowly calming down his feelings, and when he finally stopped laughing, he realized that he was very close to Yan Shu now.
Yu Gui was a little embarrassed, and quietly pushed Yan Shu away a little and then withdrew his hand.
"Did you just say you wanted to eat together?" Yu Gui pulled the topic back and asked.
Yan Shu was still entangled in the action of Yu Gui pushing himself away just now, and after hearing this question, he reacted for a moment before quickly nodding and saying, "Well, since we met, it happened to be a meal." ”
"Okay, then you wait for me to go to the bathroom first and come out, let's go." Yu Gui agreed very happily this time.
In fact, he is also out of line in his heart, the more he doesn't want to see it, the more times he sees it, and I don't know if he should say that he is too close to Yan Shu, and he actually touches a quasi-child.
Since this is the case, Yu Gui thinks that he should simply not deliberately hide, and maybe there are not so many things to do if he gets along generously.
Besides, Yan Shu is very funny, a bit of a natural stay, and he is quite happy to be with him, so Yu Gui does not reject this feeling.
The only thing that made him worry was the kind of concern that Yan Shu showed for him beyond ordinary acquaintances.
However, it shouldn't be so coincidental.
With such a big campus, a man he casually ran into happened to be a crooked? And this man still has a crush on him? What is the probability of this......
Maybe Yan Shu just thinks that he is more suitable for his eyes and wants to make a friend, but he thinks too much.
Yu Gui explained himself like this, but there was always a lingering uneasiness in his heart.
What the hell are you worried about?
※
When Yu Gui came out of the bathroom, he saw Yan Shu standing straight by the wall opposite the door, with his chest up and his head up, not impartial, looking like a good student.
"Let's go." Yu Gui walked over to him with some amusement and said, Yan Shu nodded obediently, but looked back at the venue of the job fair before keeping up with Yu Gui's footsteps.
"Yu Gui," Yan Shu walked beside him as if he wanted to find some topic, and asked, "Are you here today looking for an internship or a formal job?" ”
"Formal work." After Yu Gui finished speaking, he remembered that he didn't know what level Yan Shu was at, and it seemed that Yan Shu was one or two years older than him, so he should have already studied in graduate school. Thinking about the last time he was stopped by Yan Shu to ask for directions, Yu Gui guessed that he was probably a graduate student who had just enrolled in September.
Thinking about it like this, Yu Gui casually asked, "Are you here for an internship?" Started the first semester? ”
"Well, no." Yan Shu paused, and then said, "I'm just coming to see." ”
"Oh." Yu Gui nodded and didn't say anything more, most of the graduate education in the United States is employment-oriented, the program time is short and the class time is flexible, just to facilitate students to work and study at the same time, so it is not uncommon for people like Yan Shu to start paying attention to recruitment information at the beginning of school.
However, although Yu Gui said it, Yan Shu still had something to ask: "Then what kind of work do you mainly invest in?" Are there any companies that are convenient to say? ”
"Huh?" Yu Gui turned his head to look at him, feeling a little strange in his heart, but still said, "There is nothing inconvenient." I studied applied mathematics, and my job is mainly related to quantitative or numerical analysis, and companies are more inclined to the financial industry, such as banking, investment banking, or funds, as you know, the average salary in this industry is relatively high. ”
Yu Gui did not shy away from the idea of looking for a high-paying position in front of Yan Shu. Yan Shu knows that he works as a translator and tutor for others in order to make money, and there is nothing to hide at this point.
However, Yu Gui still didn't know why Yan Shu asked about this. Although this is not a secret or *, it is generally not asked by people who are not familiar with it, so as not to be suspected of intentional spying, and it can be regarded as a habit of convention.
Yu Gui didn't think that Yan Shu wanted to find out anything, and to be honest, he was not afraid of being questioned. The work is all there, whoever has the ability is on it, everyone competes fairly, and there is nothing to hide.
"Actually, I'm asking you because I just saw the recruitment desk of the New York branch of the China Commercial Bank in it, and I happen to know a person inside, and I heard him say that they are short of talents to do math now, so if you want to enter there, I can help recommend it." At this time, it is not the same as asking questions, Yan Shu himself explained first.
Yu Gui didn't feel too surprised when he heard his words, after all, the Chinese circle in New York is not big, it is not small, who doesn't have a classmate or a senior brother or sister, it is normal to recommend each other.
But Yu Gui still didn't want to owe Yan Shu too much favor at this time, so he instinctively shook his head and refused: "That's not necessary, I from the State Commercial Bank just tried to submit my resume, but they said that they don't recruit undergraduates at this stage, so you don't have to bother." ”
"That's if you go directly to vote, they must say so, but if there is an internal push, it will be different." Yan Shu smiled confidently, and hurriedly added a sentence when he saw that he wanted to refuse: "Don't worry, I'll say that at most, I can help you get an interview opportunity, and it depends on you whether you can be hired later, so you don't have to think that I helped a lot, just say something." ”
"This ......" Yu Gui hesitated a little, if he could really get the opportunity to get an interview, it would indeed be a good choice to enter a national commercial bank.
As if seeing Yu Gui's inner thoughts, Yan Shu stopped and turned back to him and smiled happily: "Don't think about it, it's settled, you can wait for my news with peace of mind!" ”
Yu Gui also made a decision in his heart at this time, he didn't want to give up such a rare opportunity because he couldn't wipe his face for a while, so he said: "That's okay, thank you very much." ”
"You're welcome!" Yan Shu raised the corners of his mouth, and in the next second, he finally mustered up the courage and asked the sentence that had been held in his heart for a long time: "By the way, Yu Gui, in order to facilitate contact in the future, can you tell me your mobile phone number?" ”
