Chapter 1 A haze
Li Mudi walked out of the Internet café, looked up at the hazy sky, and coughed fiercely. My throat hurts because of the inescapable polluted air rich in PM2.5, PM10 and other inexplicable PMs. On the way back to the rental office, Li Mudi's mind had been thinking in confusion, but fortunately, the Internet café was not too far from the building, and because he often traveled this way, he was able to walk unconsciously without any accidents.
Li Mudi, who was born at the end of 83, has just passed his 33rd birthday, and when his peers began to gradually emerge and even shine, he was still lost in a haze...... After graduating from college in his early teens, he changed jobs 4 times, and he had nothing to do with each other, and of course he didn't have anything to do with his major. The last job was a clerk in a private company, with a monthly salary of 2,000, doing the work of 3 people. If it weren't for the fact that the boss was too unprofessional, spending every day and drinking every day, causing the company to make ends meet and not be able to pay salaries, Li Mudi might still be holding on there, after all, he has been sticking to it for 5 or 6 years, although his salary has never risen.
After leaving the job for more than 2 months, coupled with the fact that there was no salary for 2 months before, the money in hand is not enough for Li Mudi to survive next month. What's more, the house he rented is coming to an end, and if he can't pay the next lease term - 3,600 yuan after 10 days, he will have to start preparing to pack up and leave. I'm afraid that my parents will be worried, and the news of the loss of my job has not been told to the second elder, but if I don't even have a place to live, it is unlikely that I will hide it from them. So at this stage, the most important thing for Li Mudi is a small amount of money and a job, and any job can be.
That being said, the reality is very helpless. There are many jobs in the city's talent market every day, but most of them are three types of jobs: one is pure strength work, one is pure technical work, and the other is qualification work.
For a 33-year-old, 178cm tall, 80kg weight, and a moderate otaku who has not exercised for more than 5 minutes since graduating from university, all manual jobs can be passed directly...... Well, the amount of information in this statement is a bit large, so let's understand it for yourself.
Purely technical industries require professional knowledge and qualifications, such as accountants, chefs, and skilled workers, and you can't do it 100% if you don't learn this.
In the end, the so-called qualifications are the names made up by Li Mudi himself, because this kind of work does not require high other requirements, but it requires work experience. For example, a hotel recruits a lobby manager, and the educational requirements are technical secondary school or above, but it requires more than three years of relevant work experience. There are many jobs in this category, and the requirements are the same, but what makes people helpless is that people without relevant work experience will never be able to apply, and they will never have work experience, which is an infinite endless loop.
In addition to these categories, the rest are the so-called jobs that anyone can do, security, insurance, transportation, sales, courier brothers...... Sadly, Li Mudi can't apply for such a job, please allow him to hold his head and cry for ten yuan. The body is on the fat side, there is no deterrent, and the security guard passes; Introverts are a little cowardly, sweating when they talk to living people, insurance, sales passes; Can't drive or ride a bicycle - please allow another ten minutes to cry - transport pass, water delivery man passes; The courier brother is left, because he can send and receive goods on a motorcycle, but he has to bring his own motorcycle, and the money in his pocket can't even afford a wheel......
Of course, the above are all excuses, and it can only be said that this person is almost hopeless. Li Mudi turned around in the talent market for 2 weeks, and finally gave up and decided to sacrifice the last killer feature: to become a sports editor!
Although he is only the average height of the Chinese people, he has been called a fat man for countless years because of a lot of fat, but Li Mudi has surprisingly good sports cells, and his explosiveness and strength are much stronger than the general standard, so he has liked sports since he was a child.
What football, basketball, volleyball, badminton, table tennis, ice skating, skiing, shuttlecock kicking, ice drawing, jumping rubber bands, bouncing glass balls...... All of these sports he was exposed to from the mid-80s to 2006 (and it seemed like there were other entertainments in there!). Except for swimming and cycling, which may never be learned, Li Mudi can do it all, although he is not professional, but he also has a good time.
And his most unusual ability is his incomparably keen observation and incomparably scummy estimation.
When playing basketball, although his dribbling ability is average, he is a point guard on the court, because he can always make appropriate judgments and provide comfortable assists for his teammates (PS: I also served as the head coach of the class team in junior high school); When playing football, although he plays as a striker because he likes to score goals, he can play the greatest role when he plays in the midfield, and the situation judgment of the transition between attack and defense has made the whole team vaguely improve a notch.
Li Mudi can always see the shortcomings of the other party in the moment of change, but his shortcomings are also extremely prominent: he cannot estimate or describe the distance, appearance and some states.
When he was in school, Li Mudi's science grades were very good, but in physics class, he couldn't draw a length of 1m; In chemistry class, he could not understand and describe the state of some chemical reactions, such as the degree of brightness, the depth of color, etc.; One of his biggest fears was: What does that person look like? What to wear? What is your height and weight?
Although it has advantages and disadvantages of one kind or another, the traditional academic route does not require any sports skills, so it doesn't matter. Due to the full study time during the six years of junior high school and high school, there are not many sports to be played, but Li Mudi has not left the sports circle. Various sports newspapers, magazines, match facts, and even live broadcasts have not been pulled down, so his understanding of world sports still has a certain level. Having accumulated more than 20 years of sports knowledge, coupled with the fact that he thinks that the current online sports news industry has a low lower limit and almost zero discipline, although it may not be reliable to be an editor of a regular sports magazine, but with his skills, being an online sports editor should still be more than enough, but the reality slapped him in the face ruthlessly. For two weeks in a row, the job search emails of several major portals were replied to, and the results speak for themselves.
I just read the rejection email replied by Sowolf in the Internet café, and at this moment Li Mudi was walking on the sidewalk that was crowded by various illegal parking, while he needed to switch to the locomotive lane from time to time because there was no way to go on the sidewalk, and he was thinking about the next step in his mind. Is there no way out? Do you want to submit an application to some small website, and try the kind of position that is not divided into categories, does not need to be original, and can be copied and pasted?
Just when he was entangled, the sharp sound of brakes behind him frightened him into a small jump, could it be that he was in trouble again?
