Chapter 53: Finding a job for the first time
Long Dan went all the way north and came to the suburb of Jingjiao Town, a suburb of the capital. When he arrived at his destination, Long Dan made a phone call to the fellow he met on the Internet, saying that he had come to the suburbs of Beijing. Qi Meng was very surprised, and said on the phone: "Why are you here, don't say anything in advance", Long Dan said: "It's not clear on the phone, I'll tell you in detail after we meet." After a while, Qi Meng came, and when he saw that Long Dan's car was full of luggage, he asked suspiciously, "Brother Long, what are you doing?" How can you travel on a business trip with so much luggage? Long Dan didn't explain, and said: "Can you find me a place to live first, I'll stay for a few days first, and then move out after I rent a house?" Although Qi Meng was puzzled, he immediately took out the phone and called his friend.
After making a few phone calls, Qi Meng told Long Dan: "It's done, a friend of mine's rent is idle and hasn't rented out, you can live first", "Brother, I won't say thank you first, I'll live first" Long Dan said to Qi Meng, and got into the car, Qi Meng sat in the co-pilot's seat, and the commander, Long Dan, drove the car to the back of a dormitory building. Said "This is a friend's house in my bank, I haven't lived in it since I bought it, and it has been renovated, and I haven't lived in it, it's just a little dirty, you can clean it and live in."
Qi Meng helped unload Long Dan's luggage and moved it to the house, and helped clean the house, and when Long Dan finished packing his luggage, Qi Meng asked, "What the hell is going on?" How did you move your home here? "I'm bankrupt," Long Dan said indiscriminately. Go belly up? Bankruptcy won't come to the capital, what's going on? Qi Meng still didn't understand, so he asked inquiringly.
Long Dan said: "Don't talk yet, I'm hungry too, let's find a small restaurant, get something to eat, and chat while eating", "Okay, you finally came to me, I'll have a treat, let's have a good chat" Saying, Qi Meng led Long Dan to a tavern, ordered four dishes, asked for some beer, and the two chatted while eating.
Long Dan started from knowing Gao Jin, to Gao Jin's loan and guaranteeing himself, and then Gao Jin transferred the money away and disappeared, until the court seized his company, and then his mother died, and told the story as it was. In the end, he said: "I am staying in my hometown without face, and I don't want to go back to my hometown." I don't know how to live the rest of my life, I don't want to bother your sister-in-law anymore, so I came out of this book, and I went through the divorce procedures with your sister-in-law and came here."
After listening to Long Dan's story, Qi Meng was also embarrassed. said: "Since Brother Long has come to this point, there is no way to do it, there is no turning back arrow from the bow, since you have come to settle down, you can rest for a few days first, and then find a job to do it first." You haven't worked for anyone else in your life, even if you look for a job, it doesn't necessarily fit your personality, you have to weigh it well."
Qi Meng said that it makes sense, although Qi Meng lived in the capital, he also drifted north in the early years, and slowly gained a foothold in recent years, Qi Meng's hometown is actually not far from Longdan's hometown Longjiawan. Every time Qi Meng went back to his hometown, he went to Long Dan's company to have a look, and the two of them had no less food, and Qi Meng knew about Long Dan's family situation. Before going bankrupt, Long Dan's net worth was considered a rich family even in the capital. Therefore, Qi Meng said this, afraid that Long Dan would not be able to endure the pain of part-time work, so he took a preventive shot in advance.
When Long Dan heard Qi Meng say this, he smiled bitterly: "Brother, people have blessings that they can't enjoy, and there are no hardships that they can't endure. Qi Meng said: "That's good, I'll help you find a job in the next few days and see if there is a suitable one for you." The two of them hadn't seen each other for more than a year, and they chatted until the tavern closed, and the two ended the conversation drunkenly and went back to rest.
Long Dan lived in this way for half a month with nothing to do, and Qi Meng also introduced a lot of work to Long Dan. Long Dan took his printed resume to the interview, without exception, he was rejected, he spoke politely, and he politely declined anyway, that is, he was not hired. Long Dan also smiled bitterly in his heart: he was a big boss in his hometown, and he ended up in a situation where he couldn't even find a job in the capital.
Helpless, Long Dan still called Qi Meng, and after Qi Meng came over, Long Dan discussed with Qi Meng why no unit was willing to accept him to work. Or Qi Meng has been in the capital for a long time, looked at Long Dan's resume and said: "Brother Long, there is a problem with your resume", Long Dan asked puzzledly: "What's wrong with my resume, I wrote it truthfully", Qi Meng explained: "It's because it's too real that no one dares to hire you." You think, if your resume is promoted, it is not said, graduated from a prestigious university, the journey is smooth, and you are either a leader or a big boss. But it's hard to say if you use it to find a job, who would hire a big boss to work for you." Long Dan thought about it, and it made sense, and said: "It seems that the people in the capital are not real, and it is not good to be honest." Qi Meng smiled and said: "One is that you are older, and the other is that your resume is too good, not a real thing, you think, people are recruiting employees, not looking for a leader, how can they be willing to look for you?" ”。
Next, Long Dan checked on the Internet by himself, and went to an intermediary unit with his nonsense resume. The intermediary unit agreed to Long Dan's work without carefully reading Long Dan's resume, and signed a contract with Long Dan, and Long Dan also paid an intermediary fee of 500 yuan. Long Dan went to work the next day, Long Dan worked for a month in the logistics company introduced by the intermediary, and only then did he know that his salary had to go to the intermediary unit to collect, when Long Dan came to Beijing, he brought very little money, thinking that it was easy for him to go to the capital and find a job. The salary paid by the intermediary unit to Long Dan turned out to be 380 yuan, Long Dan looked at the contract carefully, and the contract was clearly signed to take care of food and accommodation of 3,800 yuan, but there was an inconspicuous decimal point between two zeros. I reasoned with the intermediary unit, and the intermediary unit said that this is the contract you signed by yourself, and you agreed to it yourself, and the first month is 380 yuan, which is to blame anyone. At this point, Long Dan knew that he had been deceived by an intermediary company. The intermediary company took advantage of the reason that he was not familiar with the capital, and deceived himself for a month, except for the 500 yuan paid in advance, 380 yuan, and 120 yuan himself. In a fit of rage, Long Dan quit his job and returned to the suburbs of Beijing.
Seeing the fellow fierce and fierce, Long Dan told about this encounter. Qi Meng complained: "Why don't you talk to me, just go and find a job by yourself, there are more than three people in the capital, and there are many officials and liars." If you are not careful, you will be fooled, there are more such intermediary companies, and they specialize in defrauding people who come to Beijing from other places, and you can deceive millions in a year, you still honestly stay in the house I found for you, and we will discuss the matter of finding a job slowly." Only then did Long Dan know that at the feet of the Son of Heaven in the capital, there was also a dark thing under the lamp. It's not all light. It is said that the water in the capital is deep, which is true, and even finding a job is so difficult. At this point, Long Dan had to be convinced.
Long Dan lived in the house that Qi Meng was looking for again, and when he ate, he went to a small restaurant to eat some rice bowls, and if he didn't want to go out, he ate some instant noodles in the room, and lived for half a month. Long Dan didn't dare to go to a big hospital for an examination because he didn't have much money, so he asked the doctor to look at the outpatient clinic on the street, and the doctor couldn't find anything wrong. Long Dan only felt weakness in his limbs, and in the end, the doctor diagnosed him with heat stroke, and he didn't know if it was or not. Anyway, Long Dan was infused with liquid for 5 days, and his condition improved a little. Long Dan went to the cashier to settle the bill, and spent more than 1,000, and Long Dan stopped the infusion when he saw that the small outpatient clinic was not cheaper than the big hospital. also had to stop, because Long Dan settled the account, and there was less than 100 yuan left in his pocket.
Long Dan looked at the dozens of yuan in his pocket, thinking that he couldn't eat instant noodles for a few days. Thinking about how to find a job so that I can solve my current dilemma. Borrow money from fellow villagers, even if the fellow is willing to lend it to him, it is not a long way, not to mention that his fellow villager is also a part-time worker, not necessarily how rich. Long Dan dragged his weak body back to the dormitory.
Long Dan, who slept for a day and a night, got up and drank some cold water, feeling that he couldn't lie down anymore, otherwise, his condition would get worse and worse. dragged his tired body to the street, and when he saw a newspaper seller, Long Dan was bored and spent a dollar to buy one, and Long Dan looked at it aimlessly. Suddenly, there was a light in his eyes, and Long Dan had an idea.
