Chapter 106: Personal Choice
At this time, my mother came back with Lele, and when she heard that I was fired, she first shouted: "Why was I laid off again?" ”
"Now that many companies have opened and closed, the world's top 500 companies may lay off employees, let alone such small companies. "I don't want them to worry, so I can only lie: "Anyway, my fifteen years of social security have already been paid, and now I can mix it day by day, and after two years, I will pay the house and rent it out, so I don't have to worry about eating and drinking."www.biquge.info ”
"What if I can't rent it? The house was out of town, not even a suburb. Mom muttered, apparently her unemployment made her anxious: "You have to know that you don't want to buy a house, why do you make yourself so tired?" ”
"Of course you want to buy it!" When it comes to the house, I am full of anger: "Do you know what the price is now?" Even if you smash the pot and sell iron, you have to buy it. ”
"What's the price?" Mom and Dad both stared.
"It's up more than 2,000 per square meter." I walked into the small room with my head held high, sat down, and turned on my computer.
Outside there was a happy discussion of mom and dad, after all, it has risen by 200,000 in two months, and this kind of thing cannot be calm when it comes to any ordinary person. What's more, if you get a dead salary all your life, you will only be a low-level ordinary person with two or three thousand yuan when you retire.
I looked at the computer, it was slowly booting up, it seemed that I couldn't buy another one in the near future, and I really didn't have any money in my pocket.
If you submit your resume again and vote hard, you won't believe that you can't find another one. When the twenty cover letters came out, my mother called me out for dinner.
Holding a language book, help Le Lemo write words. The phone rang, I picked it up and answered, it was Qian Zhongliang.
I continued to answer while helping Le Le Mosheng words, and the result was like this:
"I'm sorry, I've already said Jingjing, in fact, she is also unintentional." Qian Zhongliang's attitude is quite sincere, after all, he is a big boss, and it is good to take the initiative to make a call, so what if he doesn't call?
"Are you sure she's unintentional?" I didn't feel angry, and then said to Lele: "Be rash and regret it." ”
Qian Zhongliang: "No way, I spoiled her, it's my fault... How are you doing? ”
"It's bustling, it's crowded... I replied, "It's okay, I didn't have a better life before I saw your daughter... Crowded, leave. ”
Qian Zhongliang paused for a moment: "What do you say, I don't really understand. Otherwise, you come to my company, and I will arrange a place for you. ”
"No need, I'll find a job myself." I continued to Lele, "Fox, have bad intentions. ”
“。。。 That was not what I meant. Qian Zhongliang explained: "I just want to make up for it, if you have a better place to develop, that's the best." ”
"Wonderful, a lie ... Oops, I'm helping my daughter with Mo Sheng, don't talk about it, don't worry, when you really don't have anything to eat, I'll come to you, that's all. I took my mobile phone and said to Lele: "Is it okay, okay, take the book and read it by yourself, and correct it." ”
"Hey, hey~" Qian Zhongliang shouted in his mobile phone.
I picked up my phone impatiently: "What's the matter, President Qianda." ”
Qian Zhongliang seemed to be holding back a smile: "It's nothing, I want to invite you to dinner, I don't know if I can enjoy it." ”
"Why are you inviting me to dinner, don't go, that's all." I hung up the phone, and when I saw that Lele had deserted again, I angrily pointed my finger on the desktop: "I asked you to check the typo, I didn't let you play with an eraser, what's so fun about an eraser, can you play well?" Hurry up and check! ”
Obviously, looking for a job this time is not so simple, towards the end of the year, many people are planning to change jobs, and my age and work experience are difficult to compliment. In addition, I don't dare to write down the work energy of my February probation, otherwise the personnel will have more ideas. Half a month later, there is still no news of the retest.
I have to pay off the mortgage again, and after paying off the mortgage with rent and unemployment benefits, there is only 1,000 yuan left, but a lot of money has to be paid. Lele School has to pay 260 yuan for lunch and 100 yuan for extracurricular activities, and rents it to other people's houses, and the toilet is aging and leaking, so it can only spend more than 700 yuan to buy one. I really don't know, a toilet can be so expensive, I chose it for a long time, and I chose a cheap one, otherwise it is thousands.
I don't even have any money for Taobao, so I have to think about it for a long time when I go to the supermarket and even buy a pack of potato chips for 4.5 yuan.
When I went to work, on QQ, everyone didn't believe that my salary was so low, after all, this is a big city, but what can I do, my salary is so low. It's good now, I don't even have a job.
The Chinese New Year is coming up in two months, and if you can't find a job again, you may not have a good New Year. When I came back, I didn't dare to use the two-month salary, and I saved it for one year. If the early repayment also needs 10,000 yuan as the base, my 6,000 yuan is not even enough for the minimum base.
Poor couples are in decline, and I now only have myself to grieve for myself.
The house price in the field has not risen much in half a month, but I can't sell the house. Foreign houses, not yet two years old, because of the deed tax problem, second-hand houses are cheaper than first-hand houses, and now they are sold, and they can only be sold in and out. For the sake of the future, I will continue to survive whatever I say.
I persevered in sending the application letter, waited for half a month, and finally waited for a call asking me to go for an interview.
HR looked at my resume: "You're on the older side. ”
I quickly explained: "Older people, more reliable in doing things. There are also front desks in their fifties abroad, which can also be regarded as a feature. ”
Personnel continued to look at my resume: "Our company sometimes works overtime, and the division of labor within the company is not separated, where there is a shortage of manpower, we have to go to help." ”
"It doesn't matter." I feel that there should be a play, so I hurry up and seize the opportunity. Either this is a way to reject me, or it is a scandal in the front, if the other party agrees, it will be hired: "During working hours, it is uncomfortable to sit too idle, and the time to do some work can pass faster, and you can also exercise your work ability and mingle with your colleagues." I usually don't help, but when I need help, who will help me? ”
"Hmm~" Personnel felt quite satisfied: "It's good to think like this, if more people think like you, wouldn't it be fine?" When will you be able to come to work? ”
I almost jumped for joy: "Anytime." ”
"Then it's next Monday." Personnel means I've got a job.
Although this job still has very little money, for me, even one or two thousand yuan can directly improve my life, let alone three thousand yuan.
Out of the office building, I felt a chill in the air, and the city was not really cold until around the Chinese New Year. Walking on the road, many businesses have put up advertisements to celebrate Christmas and play Christmas promotions. Christmas trees have also been moved out of some buildings and large businesses... Before I knew it, the year was coming to an end, and at least I had found a job before the new year came.
On the way home, I spent 26 yuan and bought half a roast duck. If you don't have a roast turkey, just eat this. Anyway, it was originally a foreign festival, and Santa Claus didn't care about us. This old man has to manage Europe and North America, as well as the believers in Oceania, and he can't come here and can't manage here, but here is a billion people.
When I got home, I told my dad the news, then I went into the small room, turned on the computer, and went to the recruitment website to set the work status. With a job, I feel settled, otherwise it feels a bit like six gods and no master.
Lele came home from school and saw roast duck on the table, so Lele yelled to eat duck legs.
"Oops, it's almost dinner, eat in the evening." Mom put down Lele's schoolbag and prepared dinner.
I listened and walked out: "Go wash your hands." ”
Knowing that there is Lele to eat, I quickly went to wash my hands.
"Come on, eat." I'll give the duck leg to Lele.
Lele shouted "wow" when he saw it: "What a big one." ”
"Eat." I smiled and watched Lele eat with a big duck leg. When this roast duck was cut, I told the proprietress that the duck legs should not be cut too small, and that they were going to be eaten by Lele. If one leg is not split, there is not much left of half a roast duck.
"It's such a big one, can you still eat dinner?" Mom complained.
"Then eat less and eat more. It's a blessing to be able to eat! "I watched Lele eat duck legs fragrantly, happy and a little sad. Other people's children have never eaten anything delicious, but my children, eating a duck leg is like a holiday. This day is like a poor middle peasant, if you go down again, will you pull a red head rope for the New Year, and sing a piece of "Red Lantern"?
So whatever you say, you have to put up that house, it's nothing to be poor now, and in a few years, even if the house is sold, there will be extra money, and the house is rising.
The phone rang.,It's the fourth.。。。
Sitting in the restaurant, I was eating, while Number Four was sitting across from me and watching me eat.
"I heard you're unemployed." Number Four finally spoke. If it weren't for the fact that he was a machine, I would have something to eat, and neither of us would have been sick if they didn't speak.
"I've got a job, I'm going to work next Monday." I haven't eaten out in a month, so today's dish was exceptionally tasty.
"Another job that earns three thousand?" Number Four looked at me puzzled: "Why can't you let others help you, you just need to say it, you can get more." ”
I ate the dish nonchalantly: "You have helped me very much, am I paying for today's meal?" ”
Number Four was silent for a moment: "3471 He did quite well... And the woman still waited nearby. It's hard for him to come back, so forget about him. ”
"I won't forget him ... Until I died. I continued to eat, even if I felt like I was choking at this point, chewing and swallowing mechanically.
"Hye-jin." Number Four seemed to think for a long time before he spoke: "Li is always a very reliable man, and he has been waiting for you... ”
"I'm sorry, I don't deserve him." I refused.
"But your current situation is that you need a man with a little financial strength." What Number Four said is the truth, if it weren't for my parents who helped me a lot, with my ability, I wouldn't be able to take care of the child at all.
"I'm fine, please don't worry." I put down my chopsticks: "I'm full, thank you." ”
No. 4 only called the waiter, and after paying the bill, the rest of the things were packed.
Sitting in the car, No. 4 couldn't help it, parked the car to the side, and asked me directly: "Huizhen, I don't understand, what are you thinking." Why not take on other men? 3471 is indeed quite good, but he will not come back, at least never again in your limited life. You don't like Mr. Li, and you can accept other men, but why don't you? ”
"Because I don't want to be looked down upon!" I finally broke out and poured out all the words in my heart: "Yes, I am poor and have no money, but I want to get better little by little through my efforts, instead of making people feel that I can't even support myself, and I need to rely on men to survive; In other words, when I look for a man, I rely on men to eat. In this case, even I look down on myself. I've been looked down upon by a scumbag, do I want a second one? ”
Because I was too excited, I gasped a little and took a deep breath: "This has nothing to do with Five, it's my own choice." Please send me home or I'll get out of the car. ”
Number Four turned around and started the car silently... Knowing that he watched me enter the building, he never mentioned anything about me finding a man.
Sitting in front of the computer, I looked at the diamond ring in my hand, and the faint light could reflect the dazzling brilliance in the ring. The brilliance of a diamond comes from itself, not from the setting, when will I be able to shine and stop living so badly?
On Saturdays and Sundays, I hurry up to take Lele out to play, otherwise I won't have so much time after work.
Helped Lele buy a cup of her favorite bubble tea, eight yuan and two yuan coconut fruit, Lele took it and drank it happily. She likes to drink, and children like to drink sweet drinks, but she doesn't drink much, and whether she has a cup a month is also a question. On the one hand, it's not good to drink more of this kind of thing, and on the other hand, it's because I'm poor, so poor that I can't even give up a cup of milk tea. I was reluctant to buy a bottle of drink in the summer, and I always filled my company with enough water and went out.
On both sides of this small street, there are many shops, some of which sell expensive things, and the so-called expensive ones are hundreds of yuan. And some small shops sell bargains, imported food that is redundant in foreign trade and is about to expire. I saw a store hanging "pillow towels for 20 yuan a pair", I wanted to see if there was any cheap bedding to sell, if there was a cheap thick velvet blanket to sell the best, the weather will be cold soon, then spread on the bed, sleep must be fluffy and warm.
After I walked in with Lele, a salesman inside was bargaining with an aunt who had picked out three towels for ten yuan.
As soon as I saw this salesman, I was stunned: "Director? ”
Sure enough, it was the director, and he was stunned when he saw me.
"Hey, sell it or not, add one more." Auntie continued to go around with indomitable spirit.
"Okay, okay!" The director came back to his senses, his cheeks were a little red, and he took a random one of the flawed towels next to him and put it on the three towels: "You are really good at it, that's it, otherwise it won't be sold." ”
"So stingy, that's what I want." Seeing the director's resolute attitude, the aunt paid the money, asked for an extra plastic bag to put on, and carried it away. (To be continued.) )
