Chapter 043: 6000 bricks

Although the contract with the crew has been canceled, the job in the crew has also been lost, and there is no point in going to the crew, Tang Xiaosheng still went to the film and television city, hoping to find filming in other crews and earn extra money.

It's a pity that he went around a big circle in Jinghua Film and Television City, searched for most of the day, and ran all the crew, but still found nothing. In fact, he found that some crews obviously needed extras, but the group leaders just didn't want to see him, and they didn't give him a chance to perform.

Tang Xiaosheng himself had no choice, so he could only stay on the set and wait silently to see if he could wait for the opportunity. It's just that he waited from morning to noon, and he didn't wait.

Since there was no filming, the crew's boxed lunches did not have his share, and when it was lunchtime, everyone was eating boxed lunches, but he could only go to the nearby commissary alone to buy a pack of instant noodles to cope.

When he was eating instant noodles, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and the caller turned out to be Long Tianhao.

"Did you find yourself unable to find a film in the studio?" As soon as he picked up the phone, he heard Long Tianhao say.

Tang Xiaosheng swallowed the noodles in his mouth, came back to his senses, and asked, "Did you do it?" ”

Long Tianhao didn't answer, and said, "As long as you are willing to leave my daughter, I won't embarrass you." Otherwise, you won't want to be filming for the rest of your life. ”

Tang Xiaosheng asked rhetorically, "Mr. Long, are you doing this too much?" ”

Long Tianhao didn't seem to bother to argue with him, and said in a deep voice: "That's all I want to say, you can do it yourself." ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

After chatting on the phone, Tang Xiaosheng was stunned for a while. He finally realized now that the reason why the crew suddenly canceled the contract with him today was because Long Tianhao did something about it. Not only has he now lost the opportunity to sign a contract, but he may have been unable to find filming in the entire Jinghua Film and Television City.

A few days ago, Xia Bai used his connections to buy some group leaders in the film and television city, so that Tang Xiaosheng had no drama to film. Long Tianhao's resources in all aspects are far better than Xia Bai's, if he also plans to do the same thing, Tang Xiaosheng may not be able to gain a foothold in the film and television city.

Tang Xiaosheng is now anxious to find filming, not only because he likes filming, but also because he needs to make money now. Not only does he have to support himself, but he also has to take care of Xiaolongnu and Guo Xiang. If they can't find a job, the three of them will have to drink the northwest wind together sooner or later.

Long Tianhao claimed on the phone that if Tang Xiaosheng continued to be with Xiaolongnu, he would never find filming. Tang Xiaosheng was skeptical of this threat at first, but three days later, he realized that Lu Dao was true.

In the next three days, Tang Xiaosheng went back and forth between the various crews in the film and television city every day, asking around, striving for a scene to film, but unfortunately, he failed to do so in the end. Long Tianhao didn't know what means Lu Dao used, almost all the group leaders in the film and television city were bought, and Tang Xiaosheng was banned from the whole city, and he was not given a chance to perform, even if it was the most inconspicuous role.

Staying in the film and television city, Tang Xiaosheng felt like a transparent person, with no sense of existence at all. He has clearly realized that he can no longer mix in the film and television city.

But no matter what, life has to go on.

There is no money to be made in the film and television city, and Tang Xiaosheng knows that he must find another job. It's just that in the past six years, almost all of his energy has been spent on acting, and he has never thought of doing anything else, and he doesn't know what he can do for a while.

A big man, with hands and feet, is not very difficult to find a job to support himself, he can go to a courier company to deliver couriers, he can work as a salesperson in a fast food restaurant, or he can work as a waiter in a restaurant.

It's just that the income from these jobs is more than 1,000 a month, which is not enough at all. Because what he needs to support now is not only himself, but also Xiaolongnu and Guo Xiang. …,

Xiaolongnu was afraid that he would work hard in filming, so she made big fish and meat for him every day according to the recipe, and the cost of a day was more than 100 yuan. If Tang Xiaosheng finds a job with a monthly salary of more than 1,000, it will almost be enough to plug his teeth. What's more, in addition to the cost of eating, there is also rent.

Thinking about it this way, Tang Xiaosheng felt that he had to find a job with a monthly salary of at least 4,000 yuan to barely survive. It's just that he has nothing to do except acting, and he doesn't know what he can do, and it's not easy to find a job.

Of course, if it's not easy to find, you have to find it, so Tang Xiaosheng rode his bicycle around the city, and when he saw a store with recruitment information, he walked in and asked. After a morning of shopping, he had already inquired about more than 30 shops and applied for more than 30 applications.

Among the positions he applied for, there were shopping guides in clothing stores, salesmen in shopping malls, security loss prevention officers in supermarkets, waiters in housekeeping companies, delivery clerks in computer cities, porters in warehouses, and so on.

Although he was basically qualified for these jobs, the monthly salary was less than 2,000, which was a drop in the bucket, so he finally gave up and continued to ride his bicycle around the city.

By one o'clock in the afternoon, he had visited almost the entire city center, but he still hadn't found his dream job. Tang Xiaosheng was suddenly a little confused in his heart, and he didn't know what to do.

Just as he was riding his bicycle on the city's Erbad North Road, he found a construction site on the side of the road, and a sign with the word "recruitment" was hung on the construction site.

Tang Xiaosheng hesitated for a moment and entered the construction site. As soon as I entered the construction site, I heard the "boom" of the mixer, and several workers were beating concrete. Some shovel stones, some shovel river sand, some put cement, some pull sand paddles, and some hit vibrators. In addition, there are dozens of workers on the construction site who are also busy, or moving steel bars, or smashing steel bars, or straight steel bars, or carrying cement, or nailing wooden boards, or pushing concrete, or moving bricks.

Later, under the prompting of a worker, Tang Xiaosheng found the contractor of the construction site, that is, the person in charge of recruitment, and asked: "Uncle, are you recruiting people here?" ”

The foreman of the contract was a man in his forties, wearing a yellow hard hat, although he had thick eyebrows and big eyes, he looked quite kind, he looked at Tang Xiaosheng a few times, and said, "Young man, are you looking for a job?" Let's change places, it's all physical work, and you can't bear it. ”

Tang Xiaosheng didn't care, and continued: "What are you doing here?" ”

The contractor smiled and said: "What else can you do on the construction site, that is, carrying cement, moving bricks, and pressing steel bars, all of which are heavy work, and young people like you will definitely not be able to do it." ”

It doesn't matter how tired the work is, Tang Xiaosheng is mainly concerned about the salary, so he said directly: "What is the salary?" ”

Seeing that he seemed to be really interested in looking for a job, the contractor foreman introduced: "The salary is 2,800 a month, ten hours a day, and if you work diligently, you will be paid." ”

“2800?” Tang Xiaosheng asked for dozens of jobs today, and this salary is the highest one, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Uncle, I want to try." ”

The foreman walked over, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't try, this work is very tiring, you definitely can't stand it, go find some other work to do!" ”

"Well, I'll do an afternoon first, and don't get paid. If you think I'm okay, let me stay. Tang Xiaosheng took the initiative to propose.

The foreman hesitated for a moment, and saw that he seemed to have made up his mind, so he agreed: "Okay!" Pointing to the front of the construction site, "You'll be in charge of moving this cart of bricks to the second floor." If you can move by 7 p.m., you'll stay. ”

"It's good."

Then, Tang Xiaosheng took off his coat, wore only a vest, pushed a special construction site carrying trolley, and then began his work - moving bricks. …,

A cart of bricks is about 6,000 pieces, and a trolley can hold about 100 pieces at a time, so it takes about 60 rounds to move it. It takes about 2 minutes to load and unload goods at one time, about 3 minutes to push the goods to the second floor, about 5 minutes for one round trip, and 5 hours for 60 round-trips.

At this time, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon, and Tang Xiaosheng needed to finish moving 6,000 bricks before seven o'clock in the evening, and he only had five hours left, which meant that there could be no rest during the period, otherwise he would not be able to finish moving.

In order to get this job, which has a decent salary, Tang Xiaosheng had to grit his teeth and bite the bullet.

In the final analysis, moving bricks is a pure manual work, there is not much technical content to speak of, and to complete it, there is no other way than gritting your teeth and persevering. Fortunately, Tang Xiaosheng's perseverance was not bad, and he managed to survive. In addition, he practiced the "Method of Reversing the Meridians", whenever he was tired, he secretly ran this skill several times, and the fatigue gradually eased.

All afternoon, Tang Xiaosheng was pushing the truck back and forth in the construction site, one truck after another to move the bricks to the second floor of the construction site. Although it was winter, and the temperature was only one or two degrees, his vest was already soaked with sweat.

At 6:17 p.m., he successfully completed the task and moved all 6,000 bricks to the designated location, more than half an hour earlier than the time of the calculation.

"Surely you don't have a girlfriend, boy, do you?" When the contractor saw that he had finished moving the bricks, he came over and said.

Tang Xiaosheng was stunned, not understanding what he meant.

At this time, I heard the foreman of the contractor say with a smile: "You must not have a girlfriend, otherwise your physical strength cannot be so good!" It took less than five hours to move a truckload of bricks, which is amazing! ”

Tang Xiaosheng smiled faintly, and he couldn't see that the foreman still had a sense of humor.

The foreman continued: "It seems that you can really do this job, well, you can stay." If you can maintain such motivation in the afternoon in the future, you will be given at least 3,000 yuan a month. You can come to work tomorrow, at eight o'clock in the morning, and remember not to be late. ”

In this way, Tang Xiaosheng found this job of moving bricks at a construction site, although he was tired, but he was still passable in terms of income. After moving the bricks, he did not go home immediately, but took a bath with the tap water in the construction field. He moved bricks in the afternoon, his whole body was dirty, and if he went back directly, he would definitely be seen by Xiaolongnu and Guo Xiang.

Until now, Xiaolongnu and Guo Xiang are still kept in the dark, and they don't know about his unemployment, let alone about him moving bricks. In order to avoid their worries, Tang Xiaosheng planned to continue to hide it.

After taking a shower and putting on a coat at the construction site, Tang Xiaosheng rode his bicycle to his home.

"Long'er, Xiang'er, I'm back."
