Chapter 12 Work is the most important
Walking aimlessly on the dilapidated street, Lu Xin realized that he hadn't looked at the street carefully for a long time.
The streets are littered with pothol dust and stagnant water from a few days ago.
All around are blinding neon, intertwined into a chaotic and brilliant color.
After the Red Moon Event, the surviving humans within the high city walls seem to be divided into two completely different types.
One is that he is very busy, walking in a hurry, and he has no time to take a second look at anything.
One is particularly unbusy, if they sit listlessly on both sides of the street, spread a bag in front of them, or set up a table, on which are either some wild vegetables, or some unknown meat, or some rough knives, or some hunters outside the city to explore the ruined city, and search for some worn ornaments, unknown technological items, and so on.
There were many more people, who were just in groups of three or five, smoking cigarettes and whistling at the women in the street.
There are still a lot of madmen outside, when the city was first built, there was a period of time when there was not enough to eat, but maybe it was because there were a lot fewer people in the world who needed to eat, and the pressure on qualifications was reduced, or maybe it was the speed of civilization reconstruction, which exceeded everyone's expectations, and in just thirty years, there were few famines or starvation deaths within the high city walls......
…… To put it simply, it is not difficult to eat a full stomach in the walled city.
…… The difficult thing is how to make your life better!
This is the case with these people who wander the streets and have nothing to do, they have not even obtained the official status of Satellite City 2, they cannot enter a professional technical school or school, and they have no hope of entering the main city for the rest of their lives.
So instead, they gave up all pursuits, didn't work, and didn't think about tomorrow's life.
They just walk the streets every day, looking at everything that passes by on the street, their eyes are empty, and they don't know what to think.
……
……
Lu Xin walked down the street like this, looking at everyone.
He was looking to see if there was any danger among these people like the corner coffee shop clerk.
As long as you can catch one, you can make a lot of money and save many people.
The figure of his sister always appeared inadvertently beside him, sometimes, his sister appeared on the tall building next to him, sometimes, lazily crawled over the wires that crossed his head, and sometimes, appeared on the head of a bald uncle.
The brother and sister patrolled the streets so seriously.
And then nothing came across.
"This city is too big......"
After shopping for seven or eight streets, Lu Xin, whose legs were sore, squatted on the side of the street, smoking and eating a boxed lunch.
He summed up the experience in his heart: "Although the population of the high-walled city was very small when it was first built, in the past few decades, more and more people have been born, and it exploded all of a sudden......
"Patrol a few more times, and you will definitely encounter ......"
“……”
After eating the boxed lunch, Lu Xin patrolled for a while, then went back to sleep and went to work the next day.
He continued to do so for the next few days.
It's just that this too normal city made Lu Xin a little disappointed, and there was nothing strange about it.
"If this city is too safe and there is no place for me, will Colonel Chen take back my subsidy?"
Lu Xin couldn't help but worry.
It's just that he didn't expect that his other job would go wrong first.
"Xiao Lu, you don't have to come to work tomorrow!"
The director, whose hair was half bald, but still combed carefully, pushed a dismissal contract in front of Lu Xin.
"Why?"
The director's words made Lu Xin taken aback, and he was a little incomprehensible.
How can you accept that job has not been turned into a regular job, and the job has been dismissed?
Although in the current world after the Red Moon Event, it is normal to be quit because of economic instability, especially when you only need to sit in the office and use your brain, instead of running to the dock or factory day and night, there are many people staring at it, and the competition is extremely fierce, but Lu Xin still never thought that this matter would fall on his head.
I am very serious about doing things, and I have not made any mistakes for so many years.
Even if he is an exemplary worker, the pennant is still hanging in his partition.
Even if you want to quit, how can you quit yourself?
……
……
"This matter, Xiao Lu, you have to understand!"
The director squeezed out a little smile on his face, took out a cigarette and handed it to Lu Xin, showing his cigarette-stained yellow teeth and said with a smile: "The company is in a recession now, the same job, can't afford to support too many people, you and Xiao Lu are compared with the two people, the business ability is about the same, but what, Xiao Lu's work attitude is much better than yours, you look at you, recently you have left early every day, and before you get off work, there is no one......
"Lu Cheng?"
Lu Xin remembered the young man who had always accompanied him with a smiling face to teach him how to handle his work, and fell silent.
He also knew what the director meant when he said he left early.
In fact, I didn't leave early, but I didn't take the initiative to stay and work overtime.
"Director, can you give me another chance?"
Lu Xin had a lot to say in his heart, but at the end he just whispered.
The director showed an embarrassed expression on his face: "Alas, you are an old employee, and I can't bear it, but in our company, you know, a radish and a pit, you can't afford to raise idlers, and when you have the same ability, attitude is very important......"
Lu Xin didn't listen to the latter words, because he knew it was fake.
When he left the director's office, he saw that his belongings had been packed and placed in a box.
I don't know who is so kind.
"It was Lu Cheng who cleaned it up for you, and he thought about moving to you for a long time......
Next to herself, Aunt Sun, who had curly hair, whispered to Lu Xin: "Xiao Lu, it's not that Sister Sun said you, you are just too honest, I told you before, don't teach others everything, you see, people are robbing you of your job, right?" I heard that this kid is amazing, he has a relationship with the director's daughter, the director is so smart, how can he not give the job to his family? ”
Lu Xin silently looked at the pennant in his box, reached into his backpack, and touched the gun inside.
But in the end, instead of pulling it out, he went downstairs first, lit a cigarette, and paced slowly.
He remembered what Chen Jing had told him before.
If you're in trouble in life, give yourself three pieces of advice.
One is to call the police.
The second is to call her.
The third is to use guns.
