Chapter 12: A New Life

In the blink of an eye, the man and Jiajia came to the agency company, signed the contract, paid the rent, and the agent handed them the door and the key to their small room. The two of them went back to say goodbye to Brother Fan's family, no matter what bumps and bumps in the days they got along, after all, Brother Fan did the man a big favor to them, and everyone was still polite when they left, Brother Fan also insisted on driving the luggage of the man and Jiajia to the east gate of the Olympic Stadium.

Because it was daytime work time, when the two of them entered the house, there was no one in the house. They moved in a few large boxes and began to plan how to place them. While they were busy with their work, the door opened, and a tall, thin girl pushed the door in, and saw that there were people in the house, and she was still a little unaccustomed.

The man and Jiajia hurriedly came out to say hello: "Hello, we are new residents." ”

The girl also greeted politely: "The intermediary told me, saying that there is a pair of handsome guys and beauties, hehe, welcome, I live here by myself every day, and finally come to friends of the same age, you can play together." ”

The man also smiled and said, "Yes, we can play together in the future." ”

"My name is Ajma, what's your name?"

"My name is Du Nannan, and this is my girlfriend Jiajia."

After a few pleasantries, Ajma looked at the luggage and said, "I'll help you pack your things." After speaking, he threw his bag on the small bed in his room, took off his coat and prepared to help the man and Jiajia clean up.

The man looked at the small room with his eyes, it was only six square meters at most, just a bed and a cupboard, and Ajima bought a simple hanger for himself, and the whole room was already full.

Jiajia hurriedly stopped and said, "No, no, we are dirty, the two of us are enough." ”

Ajima didn't seem to be pretending to be polite, and rolled up her sleeves as she walked over and said, "You're welcome, you're already tired from moving, I'll help you finish it, you can eat and rest early." ”

Jiajia was about to stop it, but the man spoke: "That's okay, Ajima will help us clean up together, we can also chat, get acquainted, let's have a meal together in the evening, and we will live together from now on." ”

When Jiajia heard this, she felt that she was stingy if she insisted on stopping Ajma, so she stopped stopping it. The three of them were tidying up and chatting happily.

Through chatting, the man learned from Jiajia that Aijima is a native of Inner Mongolia, a senior this year, majoring in fashion design, and will graduate from Beijing University of the Arts immediately. She has Russian ancestry, she looks average, and her face is a little freckled, but she is 1.77 meters tall, her skin is very white and delicate, her figure is very good, her chest and thighs are thin, and she steps on high heels, which is very eye-catching. Ajima has been working part-time as a model and etiquette since her freshman year to earn money, so the man thinks she is much more mature than her peers.

After more than two hours, the boy and Jiajia's small room was cleaned up, and the small room that didn't look very good was put on the small dolls, spread bright sheets, hung curtains, cleaned up, and suddenly became energetic. Ajma seemed to be genuinely pleased with the new neighbors, insisting on inviting them to dinner. The man looked at Jiajia, Jiajia didn't squeak, it was considered a tacit approval, and the man touched the two dollars in his pocket, and he didn't shirk anymore, so. The three of them came to a small restaurant downstairs.

After ordering four dishes, Ajima asked for four bottles of beer, and the three of them chatted while eating, and the interest was very high. The man and Jiajia were really happy because they finally had their own foothold, and neither of them drank much, but Ajima ordered it, so he didn't say anything, and drank with him.

Ajma poured a full cup and held it up, "Come, I salute you two and toast to my new neighbor!" ”

Jiajia's boldness also came up, and she poured her cup full without showing weakness and raised it, "Thank you Ajima, it's really my blessing to know a neighbor like you, do it!" After saying that, the two of them drank it all.

The man hurriedly poured his cup to the brim as well.

Ajma poured everyone another drink and began to chat.

Ajima looked at Jiajia and then at the man, and asked Jiajia curiously, "How did you meet?" ”

"We were college classmates, and he chased me." Jiajia was quick to speak and said it immediately.

Ajimahaha smiled and said, "I envy college couples the most, especially those who can go on like this, it's not easy." ”

Jiajia asked rhetorically: "What about you, so beautiful and in such a good figure, there must be many people chasing you, right?" ”

Ajma sighed and said, "Ahem, it's ugly, no one wants it." ”

"Nonsense," Jiajia waved her hand and said, "You are so beautiful, you have to pay attention to the old men when you walk on the street." After speaking, he looked at the man, "Isn't it, sir?" ”

The man smiled awkwardly. Jiajia actually minds men praising other girls, he has suffered a lot of losses and been beaten because of this, but in front of beautiful women, he can't say anything, it's really a dilemma.

Jiajia didn't care about the man's reaction, turned around and asked Ajima: "You said that you have been working part-time in college and have saved a lot of money, right?" ”

The man felt that it was very rude for the two of them to ask such a question when they first met others, so he secretly pushed Jiajia with his hand, and Jiajia also felt a little reckless, but Ajima didn't seem to care, she rolled her eyes, thought about it and said, "Well, it's a lot, but my family is in poor condition, and most of them are sent home to subsidize the family." ”

The man has a special affection for the filial piety of the Gu family, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but look at Ajima with appreciation.

Ajma put down the beer glass in her hand and asked the two of them curiously, "Then why do you want to come to Beijing to work?" The northern city is also very good and familiar, so why bother to come to Beijing? ”

Hearing this, Jiajia opened the conversation box and began to talk about her study and work experience with men. Ajma listened attentively, interjecting a few words from time to time, unconsciously pouring himself a drink, and in a moment the four bottles of beer were gone. When Ajma came to his senses, he looked at the empty bottle a little embarrassed, and said apologetically: "Oh, my mouth is real, I drank it before I knew it, let's have four more bottles." ”

After speaking, he was about to ask for it, but the man hurriedly stopped, "Farewell Ajima, we can't drink it either, it's good for you to drink it yourself, hehe." ”

Jiajia also continued: "Yes, drinking beer is too bloating, and we don't drink much. ”

When Ajima heard this, he smiled slyly and said, "Oh, I see, this is a hint that I want to drink white, haha, waiter, take a bottle of Niu Er!" Ajima didn't say anything, and asked for a bottle of Niu Er.

The man couldn't stop it, so he simply didn't care.

The three of them chatted and ate as if they were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years. After a meal, everyone got acquainted with each other a lot and got to know each other a lot. The man and Jiajia learned that the girl in front of him had been working part-time to earn tuition since the first year of college, tutoring, etiquette, modeling, promotion, everything, in the past four years, in addition to earning out her own tuition, she also subsidized a lot to her family. The man really admired this girl, and sincerely toasted her several glasses, and drank it himself.

When I went home in the evening, another couple also came back and politely greeted the man. After chatting, I learned that the couple was selling fish in the vegetable market not far downstairs, and they politely said that they would make a whole fish banquet for the man and Jiajia another day. The man feels that he is quite lucky, and the neighbors he has met are all good. Because they drank a little too much and were tired from moving, a few people washed and slept after a brief chat.

When I got up the next day, the couple who sold the fish was not there early, and Jiajia couldn't sleep well when she first arrived in the new environment, so she got up early. She looked out the window and was stunned. The man noticed it, sat up, rubbed his eyes, and asked, "Why don't you sleep?" Jiajia didn't speak, the man sat up and put his arm around Jiajia's shoulder, "What's wrong?" ”

Jiajia didn't look back, and said in a deep voice: "We have less than three hundred yuan left, all assets." This sentence drove away the man's sleepiness.

Although the man tried his best to get the opportunity to take the DT international written exam, and he felt good about himself, who can guarantee that he will be hired? But in this situation, just a few days after the written test, he can't rush to ask questions immediately, which will arouse the suspicion of the other party. So the man decided that he couldn't give up other opportunities. Buying newspapers, posting resumes on the Internet, and doing homework every day is indispensable. Thinking of this, he and Jiajia couldn't sit still, washed up, and embarked on a journey to find a job.

A week has passed in a blink of an eye, and Jiajia has received several interview notices, but the man is gone. Although he said that he wanted to cast a wide net, when the man decided on a job unit in his heart, he found that other jobs could not arouse his interest. Although he also tried to convince himself to be calm, this tendency was still difficult to overcome.

In the new week, the man endured Monday, and on Tuesday, the man couldn't hold it back, he wanted to know what DT International thought, if not, he was willing to come to a simple one, so that he could completely relax and devote himself to finding other work, so he decided to take the initiative.

The man sat in the room and thought about it for a long time before he picked up his phone and dialed Pat seriously

ICIA's phone. Because he asked for Pat during the last interview

ICIA's business card had a mobile phone number on it, so this time he called her directly. It didn't take long for the call to go through.

"Hey, hello?"

"Hello, Pat

icia? ”

"I am, you are?"

"I'm Du Nannan, who went to the written test last time, do you remember?"

"Oh, remember, how are you lately?"

"It's not bad, hehe, are you convenient now? I want to talk to you about something. ”

"Oh, wait a minute." The man listened to the noise on the other side of the phone getting quieter, Pat

ICIA was clearly heading towards a quieter place.

"Alright, man, man, you say."

Du Nannan tried his best to say in a plain and modest tone: "Pat."

ICIA, through the last interview and the previous phone calls, I think you are a very high-quality person and kind girl, and I am very happy to know a friend like you, whether I can work with you in the future or not. ”

Pat

ICIA chuckled a few times and said, "Ouch, thank you, thank you." ”

The man continued: "I don't know what you think of me, anyway, I really think of you as a friend, and now that I have a situation, I especially want to talk to you and listen to your advice." ”

Pat

After hearing this, ICIA immediately asked, "What's wrong with you?" Listen to it, I'll definitely help you if I can help you. ”

The man deliberately paused for a few seconds, and then continued: "That's the case, I was very impressed by DT International in the last written exam, and with a friend like you as a colleague, I actually yearn for DT." The man paced softly and said slowly, "But you may not know, I have been talking to several companies recently, and to be honest, there are also companies with very good treatment and environment." The man walked to the window, "This morning, I received a call from an advertising agency, frankly it should be your peers, I have also passed their second side, and I have just informed me that I can join the company." I said give me a day to think about it and give a reply tomorrow. The man heard an "oh" on the other end of the phone, Pat

ICIA was listening very carefully.

"I hung up the phone over there, I called you right away, I want to know what the DT side thinks of me, or how your onboarding plan is arranged, I also want to make the best choice, can you help me?"

Hear the man say that, Pat

icia looked a little anxious, "Man, I'll be honest with you, your written test results are very good, our HRD specially marked on your paper, saying that you are thoughtful, open-minded, and good in English, especially your handwriting is very beautiful, and it is still very eye-catching in the re-examination paper." And I also told HRD that you were introduced by VC, and our leader also said that the quality of the boss's introduction is really good. ”Pat

ICIA coughed and continued, "Actually, you are already on our list of candidates for the next batch of entry, but recently, the bosses of the business department have been on a business trip, and your new employees need to be interviewed and assigned by various bosses. ”Pat

ICIA hesitated for a moment, thought for a moment and then said, "We recruited people from five departments this time, and now only the boss of the strategy department is here, why don't you meet first?" ”

The man thought for a moment and asked, "What are the other four mouths?" ”

"Oh, three customer groups and one creative group."

"Oh," the man said calmly, "then I'll meet the leaders of the strategy group first, among these groups, to be honest, I still like the strategy group." ”

"Well, then you wait for me to call, and I'll call you in five minutes, okay?"

"Okay, don't worry, I'm sorry for you."

"It's okay, it should be, wait for my call." All said and done, Pat

ICIA hung up the phone.

The man held the mobile phone, breathed a sigh of relief, and lay on the bed waiting for the call. It said it was five minutes, and after ten minutes there was no movement, twenty minutes passed, thirty minutes passed, and there was no movement. The man can't sit still, is there something wrong? Just as he was thinking, the phone rang, Pat

ICIA called. The man suppressed his excitement and deliberately waited for four rings before picking it up, "Pat."

Hello icia. ”

"Man, I'll make an appointment for you, at 3 o'clock this afternoon, you can come over, the boss of our strategy group is here, you talk, he is in a hurry."

"Oh, well, I don't have anything else to do today, so I'll go on time."

"Well, see you in the afternoon."

After eating at noon, the man put on his suit early, polished his shoes, and came to the China Financial Building in advance. There were still nearly forty minutes to 3 o'clock, and the man walked to Parkson next to him for half an hour, and only passed when there were ten minutes left. By the time we got to the 25th floor, the time was just right.

Pat

When icia saw the man come in, she hurriedly put down the phone and greeted her, "Hello, you came on time, let's go, I'll take you to meet the boss of the strategy team." ”

The man followed Pat

As he walked into the office, he saw that the whole office was actually very simple, the workstation was basically desk-to-table, there were no bells and whistles, and the desk was full of various documents. At the end, there is a large partition by the window, and a sign is attached to it: Kee, Director of Strategy.

Pat

icia tapped the partition gently, "Hello, Kee, this is...... (Hey Kee, this is ...... )”

Pat

ICIA turned around and asked the man softly, "What's your English name?" ”

β€œFo

est.”

β€œOK, this is Fo

est, ou

ca

(Okay, this is Fo.)

est, our candidates. )”

The man followed Pat

icia's gaze passed, a man in his forties was engrossed in staring at the computer screen and thinking about something, and it took a long time for him to recover and look up at Pat

ICIA said to the man, "Oh, so

Y, I'm sorry, I'm doing a strategy change, it's painful. ”

The man heard that Kee was not from the mainland. Pat

icia smiled and said to Kee, "Do you want to take a break, follow Fo."

πŸ”₯ Chat? ”

Kee looked at the man, there was no expression on his face, he just greeted coldly: "OK, sit down." ”Pat

ICIA motioned for the man to sit down and stepped out herself.

The man kept smiling, waiting for Kee to ask. Kee first rubbed the corners of his eyes and relaxed for a moment, before picking up the man's resume from the table, flipping through it, and said coldly: "I don't seem to have heard of your university, right?" ”

"Well, it's not a key university, it's two."

Kee didn't speak, he looked at the man's resume back and forth, and suddenly raised his eyes and asked, "Pat."

icia tells me that you were introduced by an acquaintance, who is it? ”

The man still kept a friendly smile and said, "Mr. Kee, just like me and Pat."

As icia said, no matter who introduced me, I don't want this to be the root cause of my employment, I hope I can make you recognize me with my ability, so that it will be meaningful to you and me. ”

Kee stared at the man, and the man looked at Kee without blinking, his gaze not wandering, friendly and determined.

Kee nodded slightly, "OK, do you understand the whole case strategy?" ”

The man pondered for a few seconds and said: "To be honest, I don't really understand, I used to work in a TV station, and I didn't have much exposure to the whole case strategy, but I believe I can quickly comprehend and learn these things." ”

"You're not bad at English, are you?" Kee unconsciously softened his attitude a little, and his tone seemed a little more relaxed.

The man smiled and replied, "It's not bad, it should be able to help you, you can test me." ”

Kee waved his hand and said, "I'm not interested, that's HR's business." Tell me, when will you be hired? ”

The man took a breath and said slowly, "Although I have some other work to deal with and it may take some time, if you need me to join as soon as possible, I will fully cooperate with you." ”

"Today is Thursday...... Coming next Monday, A

e you ok? ”

The man frowned, pretended to think seriously for a while, and said categorically: "No problem, I obey your needs." ”

Kee finally smiled, leaned back in his chair, and nodded in satisfaction.

The man was just about to relax, but Kee added coldly: "Fo."

est, let me give you a reminder, DT International work is very stressful, the elimination rate is very high, I will give you three months, you OK, just follow me; If it's not OK, you'll find another job, u

de

sta

d? ”

The man nodded.

Kee stood up and held out his hand, "OK, I'll be here today, I'll talk to Pat right away."

Communicate with icia, you go to her side and see what she arranges. ”

The man walked out, feeling mixed feelings in his heart. It seems that he has been offered this job, but he knows that this job will not be so easy. He walked back to Pat

ICIA's workstation saw that she was answering the phone, so she stood silently beside her.

Listening to the phone call, it should be that Kee is talking to Pat

ICIA communication. After a few minutes, Pat

icia hung up the phone, turned around and smiled at the man and said, "You can do it, it's really fast, Kee will let you join next week, can you?" ”

The man nodded, "I obey the arrangement." ”

"That's great, you're like this, next Monday, you bring your ID card, the original academic certificate, and other documents, come to me at 10 o'clock in the morning, and I'll get you hired."

The man holds Pat

ICIA's hand said, "Okay, I remember, thank you so much, I'll invite you to dinner when I join the company." ”

When the man returned home, Long Feifeng told Jiajia the whole story, and Jiajia listened to it with relish. After listening, Jiajia happily hugged the man's neck and said, "Honey, you are finally satisfied, with a good job, our new life is really about to begin!" ”

The man was also happy, and although he still had Kee's last warning in his heart, at least for now, he got the job offer.

In the evening, Jiajia, who felt relaxed, was in a good mood, and after eating, she took the man to take a walk by the river in Dadu Park near Anzhen Bridge. Because of the cold weather, there are not many people walking, and the riverside seems to be quiet. Jiajia took the man's hand and asked quietly: "Man, how long do you say we can live in Beijing?" Can we make a family in Beijing? After speaking, he pointed to a real estate under construction in the north of Anzhen Bridge, "I have nothing to do here today, the house price is so expensive, this real estate costs more than 6,000 yuan per square meter." ”

The man didn't speak, looked up and said, "I don't know, but Jiajia, I just think, we're not stupid, and we're so diligent, we work hard and hard, how can we not stay?" ”

Jiajia squinted at the man and said, "Hehe, man, I think I feel very safe with you, and I think you are a more reliable man." ”

The man pursed his lips and said, "Come less, I'm almost done, you should hurry up, if you don't work, eat me and drink mine, when you go home in the future, you have to kneel down and take off my shoes like Japanese girls." ”

When Jiajia heard this, she crooked her mouth and pointed at the man and said: "Du Nannan, don't give a little sunshine, it's against you, don't come to this set, when will the old lady be the head of the family, you dare to say this, I have to ......" Before he finished speaking, the Nine Yin White Bone Claw had already begun to greet.

The man quickly dodged, shouting as he ran: "You old witch, sadist, eat me, drink me, and beat me!" Jiajia scolded and chased after her.

The two of them were running around by the river and having a great time. Tired of making trouble, the two of them walked hand in hand in the direction of home. When passing by an intersection, a Xinjiang man set up a stall to sell small jewelry under the street lamp. Jiajia happily ran over and squatted on the ground to look. She picked up a bracelet, put it on her hand, compared it for a long time, seemed very satisfied, and then asked the stall owner, "How much is this?" ”

The stall owner looked at it and said, "This is fifteen yuan." ”

Jiajia hesitated for a moment and took it off. Then he picked out another necklace, put it on, turned his head and asked the man, "Is it good-looking?" "It was an African-style necklace, and it looked beautiful on a dark-skinned Jiajia.

The man nodded and asked the stall owner, "How much is this?" ”

"Twenty dollars."

The man looked back at Jiajia, she didn't seem to hear the stall owner's words, and was still fiddling with the necklace with interest. The man turned his face to the stall owner and said, "Cheaper, twenty is too expensive." ”

"It's not expensive, it's silver-edged, you see, this purchase costs fifteen yuan."

The man picked up a necklace that was the same as Jiajia's neck, and said reluctantly: "Cheaper, who knows if you are silver, ten yuan is okay?" ”

"It's impossible, it's impossible, I can't even get in. Take at least $15. ”

The man had to bargain, Jiajia had already taken off the necklace around her neck, and said to the man: "Forget it, this is too complicated, it's not easy to match clothes, don't want it." ”

Of course, men and men know that this is Jiajia's strategy, every time Jiajia feels expensive and is reluctant to buy it, he will find some reasons similar to bad matches to shirk it. The man felt that they had been running around in Beijing for the past two months, and now that they had a job, they saw some hope, and they really wanted to buy some small gifts to make up for Jiajia who shared weal and woe with them, and Jiajia certainly understood the man's thoughts.

The man picked up the bracelet that Jiajia had tried just now, and was about to bargain, Jiajia suddenly excitedly pinched a ring and said, "This little dolphin is so cute!" ”

The man looked down and saw that it was a dark green ring, made to look like a dolphin out of the water. Jiajia hurriedly put it on, looked left and right, compared to the painting for a long time, turned her head and said to the man, "Isn't it cute?" Like me? He laughed.

The man reached out and touched it, there was no doubt that it was plastic, and the workmanship was very rough, and to be honest, he really didn't like it. But Jiajia seemed to be very interested, she stretched out her hand to the stall owner and asked, "Boss, how much is this?" ”

The boss took a look, "This one is cheap, one piece." ”

Jiajia looked back at the man and said, "What a cute little dolphin, give it to me?" ”

The man looked at Jiajia, took out his wallet from his pocket, and took out a dollar and gave it to the stall owner.

Jiajia happily wore the little dolphin, held the man's arm, and jumped in the direction of home.

The man looked at the happy Jiajia, and his heart felt sour......
