Chapter 2: Writers......
"Xiaojie is here."
"yes, hostess."
"Yo, our little food delivery guy is at work."
"Hey, Uncle Chef, can you make the dishes unpalatable in the future!"
"Why?"
"Because then I don't have to be so tired."
"Haha, you little sweet mouth!"
As soon as Qi Jie walked into the hotel where she was working, the atmosphere in the small restaurant immediately became lively, and Qi Jie made a few witty words make the faces of the employees in the store like a chrysanthemum blooming, and they grinned and smirked for a long time.
"What are you arguing about, I can't sleep."
At this time, a girl walked down from the upper floor, she was wearing a little brown bear pajamas and walking down with slippers.
The proprietress looked at what time it was, and she still had a face to say, look at Qi Jie, and then look at yourself, you are both the same age, why don't you let me worry about it so much." ”
"Then you think she is a daughter." The girl pouted.
The people in the store saw that the two mothers and children began to tear up every day. than, they are all busy with the work at hand.
Qi Jie put the lunch box into the incubator, and then walked out of the restaurant with it.
"Xiaojie, you wait."
Qi Jie turned around, a puzzled look on her face.
"That's the case, it's almost the Qixi Festival, and the store will definitely be busy at that time, can you help my aunt work overtime?"
"It's okay, I happened to be free that day." Qi Jie thought about it, and then agreed.
"That's okay, let Xiaoya deliver food with you when the time comes, let's still follow the old rules, by the hour." The proprietress pointed to her drunken-eyed daughter next to her.
"Mom! It was Tanabata! ”
Qi Jie pursed her lips and smiled, then walked out of the hotel with the incubator, and the shouts of the boss's daughter came from behind her.
This place where Qi Jie stayed is famous for Birdcage Street. As the name suggests, the roads here are narrow, the buildings are old, and the security is poor.
The name is also passed down from the "coffin house" on Hong Kong Island, which is a metaphor for Birdcage Street, which is a common residence for people at the bottom of the listed market.
Qi Jie's family background is not good, there is a seriously ill mother at home, but there is always a house, although the area is only 40 square meters, but it can barely survive in the listing of every inch of land.
Qi Jie learned through TV that China should be similar to European and American countries on the planet.
China has been a military power since ancient times, and its history is strikingly similar to that of the earth, but it seems to have suddenly turned a corner on its trajectory. After the Tang Dynasty, although Huaguo has suffered dynastic changes, it is worthy of its name.
In modern times, the invasion of the European and American powers was only those countries in Southeast Asia, and no one dared to touch the beard of this dragon. China also upheld the state of God, and neither invaded nor feared aggression during World War I and World War.
However, judging from the fact that after World War II, China vigorously developed military science and technology, it is obvious that World War II also put a lot of pressure on China.
Fortunately, the Chinese countries of this world did not experience the humiliation of war, and they understood the meaning of the phrase "if you are backward, you will be beaten".
Since it is Birdcage Street, it is impossible to use transportation tools in many places, which is the main reason for the high salary of food delivery, because it requires you to pay enough sweat.
After taking over this body, Qi Jie adapted for a while.
In her previous life, she was in a wheelchair for ten years, and every moment and every second she wanted to be able to stand up again...... And now that God has given her a chance to stand up again, Qi Jie can't wait to keep running.
Every moment, with all your might!
Every moment, sweat!
Every moment, move forward bravely!
Only in this way can the passion in her heart be released, and only in this way can she feel her presence.
She has dreams and wants to pursue them.
She doesn't want to be a salted fish, even if it is, at least she has to keep her dreams!
That was the only non-rotten self-esteem that belonged to her, a salted fish.
Qi Jie started with three part-time jobs a day, namely a convenience store and two restaurant waiters, but accidentally found that the salary of the restaurant delivery staff was high, so she applied for this job, and now she has been a full-time food delivery person.
In the eyes of others, this job is tiring and boring, and from time to time she will be scolded by bad customers, but Qi Jie enjoys it.
The decadent crimson of neon lights reflected on her sweaty face, carrying an incubator through the streets and alleys, Qi Jie's face was completely different from the numbness of the people around her.
She's focused, she's serious, and there's a burst of vibrancy in her compared to the lifeless set!
Knock, knock, knock,
"Who?"
There was a weak response from the door.
"Great writer, your takeaway."
The door was opened a gap, and a pair of eyes peeked out sneakily.
"It's Sister Jie."
When he saw Qi Jie standing at the door with an incubator, the man smiled embarrassedly, but his mouth was still sloppy.
The door was opened, and the person standing in the room was wearing a large blue and white pants, a gray suspender T-shirt, and a sloppy man.
A smell of sweat mixed with a pungent smell suddenly poured out of the room.
Qi Jie hurriedly took a step back to avoid it.
"Great writer, can you do a good job of your own personal hygiene, I won't deliver you food if you do this again!"
"Don't, it's so remote here, only Sister Jie, you are willing to walk so far to deliver food to the door, how can I live without you!"
The great writer's face collapsed, and he looked pitiful.
Qi Jie made a look of disgust on his face.
"Nuo, your egg fried rice and fried three fresh, a total of 21 Chinese dollars."
The great writer pulled out the crumpled bill from his pocket, then rummaged through it again, finding a few coins to make up for the takeaway.
Qi Jie took the money from him, and then folded it one by one.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I haven't paid for this month's manuscript yet......"
The great writer scratched his chicken-nest-like hair embarrassedly, and then said as if he were doing something.
"Next time, next time you come, I'll treat you to a drink. That's it! ”
"Forget it, you've said this fifty times, if not a hundred times."
Qi Jie glanced at him and said, "It's okay to exercise more, it's good for your body." Staying at home all day, people are wasted. ”
"You don't understand this, running is the enemy of creation, and otaku is the source of inspiration!"
"It's strange to believe you!"
Qi Jie picked up the incubator, and as soon as she turned around, the large open-air screen in the distance suddenly brightened.
Do you love creating?
Do you love literature?
Do you have an incredible story?
On the screen, a somewhat comical and slightly shorter figure turns sharply, accompanied by dynamic music.
Write it out!
Maybe you're next: Pen and Ink Spring and Autumn!
Because the distance was too far, Qi Jie couldn't read the words on the screen clearly.
"What is this?" She asked the great writer behind her.
"The advertisement of Daxiang Publishing House, the short and fat frustration on it is their new rising star author pen and ink Spring and Autumn."
"You seem to be interested in this...... Well, Humpty Dumpty is very unaccustomed to it. ”
It is not unreasonable for Qi Jie to be popular, because as long as she wants, she can mingle with people of all religions and nine ranks.
"A villain who plagiarized the original manuscripts of other authors, I don't bother to meet him in general." The great writer pouted, looking disdainful.
"Speaking of which, what about a writer?"
"Hehe, this one, you say it's easy and easy, you say it's difficult to get to heaven, it's true, the key depends on whether what you write can get into the eyes of the publishing house."
Qi Jie nodded as if she didn't understand, and she pinned her hair behind her ears.
Under the moonlight and colorful lights, the jade earlobes were crystal clear.
"And how much money do you make as a writer?"
"You want to do this?" Great writers try to take their gaze away from the earlobes of the opposite sex.
"Many of us know about your family's situation, and seriously, if you can really write a good work, it's much better than if you deliver food." He gestured to the open-air screen in the distance.
"Just like this Daxiang Publishing House event, the first place has a reward of 50W Chinese coins, even if ordinary people are tired and tired, they can't save this money for ten years!"
Many people know that Qi Jie's mother is seriously ill, and although this disease is not fatal, it requires high medical expenses. Fortunately, it is only the early stage, and some cheap drugs can be controlled, but if it continues to develop, the salary of delivering food with Qi Jie is simply a drop in the bucket.
The great writer suddenly said: "If you want to enter this industry, I will introduce you for you." ”
Qi Jie turned her head to look at him.
"Don't look at my current virtue, but I'm also a person in this circle, and I always know a few heads, and your letter may not even pass the preliminary review, and I can save this step if I find my buddy's relationship."
The great writer was a little apprehensive in his heart, and he tried his best to pretend to be well-connected, but in the end he was completely destroyed by his sloppy and embarrassed appearance.
"Hmm. Then it's all a big trouble for you. ”
Qi Jie smiled.
"It's all on me!"
The large open-air screen in the distance kept flickering brightly, and the moonlight was a little hazy on Qi Jie's face.
For a moment, the great writer felt that this was the most beautiful scenery in the world.
Qi Jie does not have a stunning delicate appearance, but as long as she is immersed in thinking and reverie, her face will add a bit of charm, her eyes are extremely clear, and the whole person exudes a clean temperament.
That's the incomparable love and persistence of dreams.
