Maybe it was because there was suddenly more than 20,000 yuan of public money in his bag, so on the way back, Gao Jinsong had always had an inexplicable apprehension in his heart, and at the same time, because this transaction would bring him a very good windfall, he had an indescribable excitement. He also realized that there was another possibility, that is, the vacant position of the company's salesman because of Li Jian's departure might fall to him. This means that he can earn more money every month, and money is so important to him right now. The uneasiness, the excitement and the high hope for the future mingled back and forth in his mind, which made him forget how long the journey back was, and even in his eyes, the fiery red and dazzling sun hanging in the sky became lovely. He pursed his lips tightly, pedaled the bicycle with great force, and the hot air mixed with the smell of dust in his face did not ease his somewhat hot mind at all, and he even wanted to shout loudly to vent his passion.

He didn't do that. He just hummed a tune that he could only hear clearly, and returned to the company, and before he arrived at the company, he deliberately slowed down the speed of his bike to make his expression return to his usual calmness.

"Well done!" After listening to Gao Jinsong's understatement, the general manager did not skimp on his praise, "You handled this matter very well!" He said the same thing several times in a row, not only gave him a rare cigarette, but also said earnestly, "Work hard, our company will never treat hard-working employees." He personally led Gao Jinsong to the next door, watched him pay the money and deposit he brought back to the finance, and then let the finance reward him with another 100 yuan in addition to Gao Jinsong's commission, and cash it on the spot.

"You're in charge of this business, how about it?" The boss said this as if he was asking for his opinion, and as if he was assigning him a job.

Gao Jinsong knew that this was actually an assessment of his ability. He went through the various possible situations in his mind, which he had considered repeatedly on the way back, and then agreed with certainty. It's a very easy deal, you just need to be careful with the garments.

He resolutely agreed to it.

He got into character right away. The customer asked for more clothing than last time, and the company did not have so much inventory, so after consulting the general manager, he called the distributor of the sports brand and bought the corresponding goods from them in the name of the company. He also hung up the phone at the garment factory, which had a lot of business dealings with the company, and pointed out the mistakes they had made in their last job. The director of the garment factory immediately promised to expedite the processing and promised that he would never make the same mistake again this time. He even said that he could send a car to pull the goods to be processed tonight, and the work would start tomorrow morning, and the goods could be delivered tomorrow afternoon......

That's the best!

Things went even more smoothly than he expected, but by the time Gao Jinsong had taken care of everything, it was already completely dark, and the whole city was already immersed in the brilliant lights. The cars on the main traffic road are like two rivers that flow endlessly. A pale halo of light shrouds the chic streetlights on the road. There are many more people on the sidewalks to cool off in the summer. Even the small traders and vendors who only dare to hide in the back streets and alleys during the day now dare to show their heads, and some of them even put their stalls on the side of the street, attracting the attention of passers-by with fresh seasonal fruits and all kinds of cheap small items.

He found a pay phone on the side of the street and told the general manager about the progress of the matter. Of course, this kind of work efficiency has once again been affirmed by the general manager. The general manager told him that this time there must be no more mistakes, and that he had better stay in the factory tomorrow, and when all the goods are in order, he will send them directly to the Wenhui Hotel from there - if the company can't send a car by then, he can hire a car to do this, and the freight will be reimbursed by the company......

The appreciative tone of the general manager on the phone made him happy. He can almost see that the position column on his business card is no longer the fancy and beautiful title of "manager of the company's storage and transportation department", but the real title of "business manager". This is not only a testament to his hard work, but it also allows him to increase his income to a great extent, and actually brings him one step closer to his goal, and one day he will be able to truly put down roots in the city - although his ID card and household registration can prove that he is a resident of this city, he has not felt that he belongs in this city since the team disbanded and he was dismissed......

When he was about to return to his rented house, he remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, so he went to the little open-air noodle stall he frequented, and asked for two bottles of cold beer and a stewed pig's head for the first time. He's going to celebrate for himself, and he's made enough money to break the bank. Of course, he didn't forget to ask for half a pound of mixed noodles - those slices of pork and two bottles of beer wouldn't make him last tonight.

After eating this dinner, which was richer than usual, he slowly walked back to the "home" that did not belong to him.

*********

His colleague Jiang Lihong and her companions have moved in. When he entered the house, he could see through the open bedroom door that the two girls were busy unpacking their luggage. He stood by the door and hesitated, but in the end he didn't ask if they needed help. He went back to his room and got a set of clean clothes and pants, and hurried to take a shower while there was no one in the bathroom.

When he was washing clothes in the kitchen where he barely took advantage of anything, Jiang Lihong came over and told him with a red face: "Thank you." She didn't dare look up at him.

"It's fine." He said politely, paused and added, "Are you all settled?" He didn't look at her either. Her personality is too shy and introverted, which makes both of them feel a little embarrassed. He wrung out his shorts with all his might, then stretched them out and hung them on a hanger, and with a stretch of his hand, he set up the hanger on the iron rod on the top of the balcony that was reserved for clothes.

"Rest early, I have to go to work tomorrow." He laughs. He felt as if an adult was talking to a child, but he really didn't know what to say other than that. Although he had only taken a shower, after saying this, he felt as if he was sweating on his forehead again.

Jiang Lihong seemed to say something, but he pretended not to hear. He ignored her, but returned to his room with his washbasin and closed the door casually.

This is the sixth floor, because of the high floor, there are not many mosquitoes in the summer, as long as you light a plate of mosquito coils, even if the window is open, there is no insect harassment at night, and close the door, this is a very quiet world, as long as he pays the rent on time, no one will disturb him.

He sat down on the edge of the bed, took out a notebook with a black plastic cover from under the pillow, turned to the latest page, and wrote down with the small beads that came with the notebook:

July 3, in: June salary 465, bonus 100;

It's a total of 565 yuan, but after tomorrow, there will only be 365 left—he has to send 200 yuan to his second sister, who is studying in Guangzhou, as living expenses, which is something that cannot be touched every month. The rest of the money will also deduct the rent and water and electricity bills, which will cost another hundred and ten yuan; Buy some bits and pieces of daily necessities, in fact, he doesn't have a few left this month. But this is already very good, his monthly income and expenditure were in deficit before, if it weren't for the 3,000 yuan that the eldest sister forced him to leave from the severance pay, I'm afraid he would have been unable to afford the second sister's living expenses.

Even so, the 3,000 yuan is now only half smaller.

He subconsciously turned to the previous page, and wrote clearly at the end of the page, and as of last night his summary balance was eight hundred and seventy-four dollars, and almost all of the missing part was spent on the road back to the court......

He made a trip to a neighbouring province in the first half of last year, where a football club had just been registered to recruit players. But others didn't take their little hairy children seriously at all, let alone tryouts, they even saw the people in charge of the club, and they were kicked out by others. Later, he and his two partners also went to Lanzhou, where they stayed for more than ten days, fortunately, the second division team in Lanzhou had two big brothers on their team before, relying on their care, although their trip to Lanzhou was fruitless, but there was not much shortfall, and then they went to Nanjing, and once again hit the wall of reality and made their faces gray and bruised. When his two companions invited him to Fujian again, he told them bluntly that he had no money, that he could not compare with them - although their family was not wealthy, they did not lack their severance pay, but most of his severance pay was given to his eldest sister to subsidize the bottomless family......

Before coming to the company, he also worked as a security guard, a handyman in a hotel, and a water delivery worker in a drinking water factory, but he didn't work for long. It's not because he suffered, but the money he earned from these jobs was too small, and he could only support him alone, but he still had a sister who was studying and spending money...... But how can someone like him find a job with a good salary and benefits? He doesn't even have a high school diploma, and he has never stepped into a serious middle school classroom in his life, so why should people give him a salary of thousands? Just when he was cornered, he met his teammate Wu Jun, who is now a physical education teacher at a middle school, and introduced him to the Olympic sporting goods company, which made him see a glimmer of change in his life.

When he thought of Wu Jun, he thought of another big thing: the 23rd of this month is Director Shen's birthday, and it would be too unreasonable to not go this year. In his eyes, this old man was as close as his father......

He wrote down the date and made two heavy crossings under it.

Someone knocked lightly twice on the door and asked in standard Mandarin, "Can I talk to you about something?" ”

He paused for a moment before he reacted, the person who knocked on the door must be Jiang Lihong's companion.

Out of politeness, he quickly put on the sweatshirt he had taken off, and then went over and opened the door.

"Something?" He ignored the girl in a nightdress, and asked Jiang Lihong.

"yes, there's something I'd like to discuss with you." The girl in the nightgown was very polite, and as she spoke, she looked Gao Jinsong up and down with her face held high. "We've all moved in, and we'll be roommates in the future, but there's something I want to make clear to you first. - It's a matter of how to calculate the utility bill. Gao Jinsong could see Jiang Lihong gently tugging at her arm, probably not wanting her to continue.

Gao Jinsong groaned and said, "You say, I'll listen." ”

"We'll give half each."

Gao Jinsong immediately shook his head and vetoed the proposal. He doesn't know how to cook, and he always takes cold showers in the summer, so the gas bill can't be paid to him; The electricity bill is also unfair to him, the only electrical appliance in his house is the fifteen-watt light bulb in the middle of the house, and it is left on very little, he has never taken a day off since he joined the company, and he has worked until the mall closes every day before returning, not because he has to earn performance or for that little overtime pay, but because of the company's two free working meals a day - these two meals can save him a lot of money relative to the amount of food he eats. As for the water bill, he can't say anything......

But as a man, he didn't have the face to say everything he thought in his heart, so he proposed that the miscellaneous expenses for water and electricity should be calculated according to the capitation, and the three of them would each pay a point.

The girl in the nightdress couldn't disagree with the suggestion. The situation in Gao Jinsong's house was clear at a glance, only an old-fashioned wooden chair with lacquered barges and a spring bed, and the sheets on the bed did not look like they were bought in a store, but more like they were issued by some unit, and even in the dim lighting of the room, the sheets gave people a very sturdy feeling. Judging from the exposed content at the head of the bed, there is not even a mattress under the sheets, only a palm mat. At the foot of the bed rests against the wall a quilt wrapped in translucent plastic sheeting. The pale yellow walls were covered with a large patch of newspaper, and several large nails were smashed into the place where the clothes were hung; There were only two sweatshirts hanging there, and the sweatshirts still had very clear words on the chest...... That's the name of the province.

"So be it." The girl walked away disappointed.

Jiang Lihong lowered her head and blushed and said, "...... She's like that, don't be surprised. Actually, she's actually quite nice. ”

The corners of Gao Jinsong's mouth moved, and he nodded without squeaking.

Whether people are good or bad has nothing to do with him.

*************

At noon the next day, Gao Jinsong hired a van and transported several large boxes of goods to the front of the second floor of the Wenhui Hotel. This time, there was nothing wrong with the pool, Sun Junshan happily asked people to prepare cash to settle the bill, beckoned him to sit down and drink water, and affectionately handed him a cigarette, and helped him light the fire.

"You're more real than the salesman before." Sun Junshan himself lit the fire. Looking at Gao Jinsong's clumsy smoking posture, he laughed, "You still don't know how to smoke?" You haven't been running for a long time, have you? ”

Gao Jinsong explained embarrassedly: "I am not a salesman of the company. ”

Sun Junshan looked at him deeply for a moment, and then nodded and said: "You are both practical and quick to do things, and you are a good material for running a business." ”

Gao Jinsong couldn't find a way to deal with it, so he had to smile and drink from the cup.

"Do you have any fun here? For example, places of interest, tourist attractions, or something? Sun Junshan flipped through the newspaper and asked casually, "We've been here for half a month, and we haven't had time to go out for a walk." ”

Which club are these people from? Could it really be that "new era"? But he had never heard of such a club. Gao Jinsong thought and said, "There is nothing good to go here. The Baiyun Temple in the west of the city was built in the Tang Dynasty and has always been very famous, you should go and see it, and there is a small West Lake in Qingshui, and there will be a ...... in a while."

Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by someone who hurried in.

"Mr. Sun, Ma Cheng and Guan Mingshan, what time will they arrive today? Are they still coming? "It's an old man with gray sideburns who speaks, and he has a thick Shandong accent but wants to speak awkward Mandarin, which always has a taste that makes people laugh." I said, you'll have to hurry up and find a better left wing-back, which doesn't work very well right now. ”

"The car will go to the airport at noon, I guess it's ...... at this time," Sun Junshan looked at his watch, and then said affirmatively, "It is estimated that they will be on the way back at this time." Don't worry, I'm more anxious about the avant-garde on the left than you, I've already contacted Chen Mingcan, and I'm waiting for him to make a price. Seeing that the old man opened his mouth to say something, he added, "As long as he doesn't think about the moon in the sky, whatever conditions he proposes, we will accept him." ”

Gao Jinsong had already recognized this old man with a loud voice. He immediately stood up, gave up his seat, and said, "Director Zheng, you sit here." "At the National Youth Championship three years ago, their team was beaten by the Shandong youth team brought out by this old coach, and almost refreshed the worst record in the history of the provincial youth team. He was so impressed by the old coach who stood on the edge of the field, called the players in front of him, and kicked them.

Zheng Changsheng didn't pay attention to this young man at all, he still said what was in his heart: "I'm afraid that you will promise him everything if you are in a hurry." Chen Mingcan's guy is not authentic, besides, he hasn't played football for a year and a half, can he still be in shape? Xiao Sun, you can't be fooled by this, there are several guys in the team who are all of this virtue, and they all have to make up for it from physical fitness. When is this, a few days until the game......"

"I know, I know, if you don't say it, I know, let's find Chen Mingcan for fear that he will open his mouth. But you also know that in this year's Class B market, as long as you have been in A, A, A, and B for two days, all of them are like this," Sun Junshan raised his face, his eyes puffed out, and his fingers hooked and gestured. The people in the room laughed together, and the appearance of paying for death was too vivid. "These people are fucking like the mud bodhisattvas of Wutai Mountain, please don't move, I want to invite a few people who can run and jump, but where to find such people now? It's too late for us to occupy the mountain and pull the banner, so we can only use it. ”

Zheng Changsheng sighed. Yes, he knew that what Sun Junshan said was all the truth, this is indeed not a time to pick and choose, he can only do his best to bring out the best results of this team.

He sat down on the sofa given to him by Gao Jinsong, and only then did he notice this sturdy young man. He casually asked, "What position are you playing?" ”

Sun Junshan, who was handing him a cigarette, took a look, and then he understood that the old coach had made the wrong person. He hurriedly said: "Xiao Gao is sending us ......"

"Left Front-Back."

One is to ask so casually, the other is to answer casually, and as soon as the words came out, Gao Jinsong froze himself. Not only was he stunned, but the whole room was stunned, only Sun Junshan, who had not turned the corner immediately, was still continuing his words: "Xiao Gao is the salesman who sent us clothes, and the clothes we ordered two days ago were not ......" He stopped his words suddenly, and turned his face to stare at Gao Jinsong.

"Which team was it before?" Zheng Changsheng asked again as if he hadn't heard Sun Junshan.

"It's the ...... of the provincial team here"

"Why didn't you kick it? Injuries down? Zheng Changsheng frowned, looking at Gao Jinsong carefully like looking at an animal.

"The team has not achieved results, so it was simply disbanded. Disbanded at the end of the previous year. "If the team can hold on for another year, it won't be so panicked, the professional league started just last year, and no matter how bad the time is, the players can find a good place to stay. But it's too late to say anything.

"How old are you?"

"Twenty." Gao Jinsong is the two words squeezed out of his teeth. He had just been promoted to senior squad that fall when he ran into it, and nothing could have been more painful than that – what had he been on the pitch for ten years? Isn't it just for this day? When he just saw hope, he encountered such a result...... He is not as good as those teammates who do not have the opportunity to continue their football dreams, at least they can find a more reliable job for themselves in accordance with the relevant policies of the country...... They were once lucky and had nothing in the end!

"Has the contract been signed?" Zheng Changsheng asked again.

This time, Gao Jinsong didn't answer.

"Coach Zheng, listen to me, this is the case, Xiao Gao is not ......" Sun Junshan sweated on his forehead, and hurriedly explained in a low voice, but the old coach didn't listen to him, stood up and said: "It's a mule or a horse, just pull it out and walk it." If you're a foal, you'll have a chance today. Let's go, go to practice on the field, and see if your head coach has a flower in the first place. It's rare to enter the provincial team at the age of eighteen. ”

When he said this, Sun Junshan couldn't hold on. For Gao Jinsong's words, he was also muttering in his heart, entering the provincial team at the age of eighteen, even if it was in a disbanded A and B team, this thing seemed so incredible.

Just like the scene Gao Jinsong saw yesterday afternoon, the team was still divided into two groups on that court for half-court confrontation training, and two assistant coaches acted as temporary referees on the side, and whichever side scored the goal turned to defense.

"You join the attacking side." Zheng Changsheng said to Gao Jinsong. He didn't even let him warm up or change his clothes, but Gao Jinsong borrowed double socks from the players who didn't play on the bench next to him, and also borrowed his shin guards by the way. The player stared at him inexplicably, although he didn't say anything, but he could see that he didn't understand what was going on - this person didn't look like the two old guys who were going to report today, Ma Cheng and Guan Mingshan were both in their thirties, and they came here to play their spare heat......

Seeing Gao Jinsong run thirty meters with the ball, Zheng Changsheng said to Sun Junshan: "Give him a contract!" ”

"Why?" Sun Junshan didn't see what this kid was capable of at all, wasn't he intercepted by a player wearing a red vest when he broke through with the ball? Why should he be given a contract?

"No why, just because this guy is left-footed! His left foot is worth the contract! ”

To be continued, please land in the chapter more if you know what will happen in the future, support the author, and support the genuine
