I thought that I could find a suitable job when I arrived in Shanghai, but for the first time, the society handed me what is naïve, and for the first time, I also let me know that it is not your sincere attitude and not that you are obedient and sensible, so you can find a job.

I have been in Shanghai for 4 days, and I have followed Brother Liu and them to the interview every morning, entered a factory, and filled in a lot of materials first, often with hundreds of people interviewed with me.

Among these people, I was only the most inconspicuous one, and after filling out a lot of information, it basically took most of the day, but in the end, I was told that I was not admitted, and I didn't understand why?

Until the fifth day, Brother Liu couldn't stand it, and Brother Liu told me: "Xiaochao, a few of us plan to go to the construction site to work." Are you going with us? ”

This made me too embarrassed, when I came out, my parents told me that I should never go to work on the construction site, because my father had worked on the construction site for most of his life, and my parents said that they didn't want us to suffer such a hardship.

Brother Liu saw my hesitation: "If you don't want to go, then you can continue to look for a job here, and go to me if you have something." "Brother Liu left with a few fellow villagers, leaving me alone, although I tried my best to save money, but I only had less than 400 yuan left.

"Have you got a job, young man?" The aunt at the hotel took the initiative to ask me, and I shook my head with a wry smile. Maybe it's luck, my aunt kind of showed me a way.

"Young man, let me tell you, these factories around here, there are a lot of electronic factories, but you came at the wrong time, most of the factories in this period are not short of people, but don't look for it yourself, you go to the intermediary, they are all related to the factory, they can send you in!"

After listening to my aunt's persuasion, I realized that the water in it was so deep. I followed my aunt's prompts and came to the door of an intermediary, and sure enough, the blackboard at the door was written with information about many factories recruiting, and a sentence was written in large letters at the door: Don't enter the factory and refund the money!

Naturally, I knew that agents need intermediary fees, but I didn't know that intermediary fees could be so expensive?

I came to the boss's side: "Hello, can you enter the factory at this point?" ”

The boss is a giant fat man with a face full of meat, and when he speaks, the flesh on his body is trembling: "Then aren't you talking nonsense?" Why can't you get into what I'm writing on this? Take a look, if you want to enter those factories, these electronics factories have very high wages, there are Korean companies, Taiwanese companies, and Japanese companies. ”

I carefully searched for jobs on those blackboards and found that most of the wages they wrote were basic salaries and overtime pay, and the highest could reach 4,000 a month.

I know a lot of fake things here, I just want to find a relatively stable job, I fancy a Taiwan-funded company, the basic salary is 1500, and it is estimated that the overtime pay can be more than 1,000 a month, which is enough for me to live here.

When the boss heard that I was going to enter the electronics factory that year, he said happily: "Yes, I can guarantee you to go in, the intermediary fee is 500, and the deposit of 300 is paid first!" ”

What the? I heard, what? The intermediary fee costs 500 yuan, and they can make so much money just by moving their mouths?

I touched the pocket of 400 yuan in my pocket, all of which were taken out, and it was not enough for the intermediary fee, so my mind turned: "Boss, do you think this will work, you arrange me into the factory first, and when I pay my salary, I promise to come and give you the intermediary fee!" ”

My words came from my heart, I thought that my sincerity could work as a work boss, but unexpectedly, the boss waved with a hand similar to a bear's paw: "Get out, don't make trouble here, I can meet dozens of people like you every day, and don't do it as an intermediary like you." ”

Looking at the boss like that, although I have an inexplicable flame, I still have to maintain a good attitude, this time is the time for me to ask for others, I can't offend others.

But then I heard the fat man say, "If you can find a girl, can I let you in for free?" ”

I turned my head slightly, "What do you mean?" ”

The fat man patted his big belly: "Now the electronics factory needs a lot of girls, generally our requirements with the electronics factory is that a girl can be accompanied by a boy, if you have a female fellow from the Northeast, I can let you go in together." ”

It's better not to say, where can I find a female fellow with me? Lost in my soul, I could only walk outside, and before I could reach the door, I was grabbed by a hand. Approaching the man's body, the first thing I smelled was a faint scent, a slightly sweet scent.

I couldn't forget that smell for many years, and I looked down at a girl who was half a head shorter than me, looking a little petite, with big eyes and two black eyeballs like walking beads.

"Yes, is there anything wrong......?" Aside from the time I graduated from high school, it was the first time I had spoken to a girl so closely.

The girl opposite was wearing pale yellow clothes, and when she laughed, long eyelashes could be seen in her eyes: "Do you want to enter the electronics factory?" I'll take you in? ”

"You said you were going to take me in, but I don't have the money to give it to you!" I looked at the money in my pocket, it shouldn't be enough for the so-called intermediary fee.

It's just that what I didn't expect was that the girl opposite smiled slightly: "I don't want your money, I know that this intermediary is very dark, men ask others for 500, women are free, anyway, there are many girls in our fellow countrymen, I don't cheap him for nothing, you can be with me." ”

Before I finished speaking, I was pulled into the store by this girl again, and came to the fat boss again, this time the fat boss seemed to be a different person, and the smile on his face was full of pleats: "Little beauty, if you want to enter that factory, I can help you arrange it!" ”

The girl in yellow pointed to me beside her: "Didn't you say that a girl can bring a boy?" I'll take him! ”

I thought I would be blocked, but what I didn't expect was that the fat boss readily agreed: "No problem, young man, you don't want to thank this beauty!" ”

I immediately looked at the girl next to me with very grateful eyes, although this girl has a small body, but it seems to contain great energy, seeing my grateful eyes, this girl just said casually: "Wait a minute, invite me to dinner!" ”

This time I didn't refuse, even if I spent all the money on my body, this meal was also what I should have invited.

The fat boss helped us register our names: "What's the young man's name?" ”

I returned: "Qiao Hongchao! ”

The boss turned his head again and asked, "Where is the little beauty?" What is your name? ”

I also cared about this question, and I wanted to know what the name of this righteous and kind girl was, and then I remembered this name that I will never forget.

"My name is Xie Jing!" Xie Jing, it turned out that her name was Xie Jing, a very nice name, from that moment on, this name was deeply rooted in my heart, and I will never forget it for the rest of my life.

Before going out, the boss reminded me 'kindly': "Young man, arrange for you to enter the factory tomorrow morning, if this little girl doesn't come tomorrow, it's not that I don't talk about it, I have to come together." ”

I nodded, looking at the girl next to me, and I thought, "Is she going to lie to me?" No way? ”

Just when I was still thinking nonsense, Xie Jing had already pulled me out: "You order one for me, so that we can contact each other!" ”

I rubbed my hands in embarrassment: "I don't have a phone!" I thought that Xie Jing would at least laugh at me kindly, but I didn't expect her to immediately take out a piece of paper and quickly write the number on it: "This is my number, if you have something tomorrow, call me!" ”

I looked at the string of phone calls, I don't know why, I actually quickly remembered Xie Jing's mobile phone number, and when I raised my head again, Xie Jing had already walked to the other side of the road, and I immediately rushed over: "Xie Jing, wait a minute!" ”

Maybe I was too focused on Xie Jing on the other side, I didn't see that it was already a red light, and I was almost hit by a fast car, and after the owner braked violently, he popped his head out of the window: "Damn, don't die?" ”

Realizing my mistake, I could only bow to the owner of the car and apologize, and then rushed to the other side of the road, panting and came to the front of Xie Jing, Xie Jing's face with a slight anger, and slapped me on the shoulder: "You don't want to die, don't you see that it's a red light?" ”

I rubbed the place that was photographed by Xie Jing with some embarrassment: "Didn't you say that I would invite you to dinner?" ”

Xie Jing shook his head: "Forget it, when we enter the factory, we will be colleagues, let's invite you later!" ”

Hearing Xie Jing's refusal, I was a little disappointed, and for the first time in my life, I couldn't help but take the initiative to say, "Let me treat you to a meal!" ”

Fortunately, this time Xie Jing did not refuse, but just watched privately for a while, and then pointed to a street in the distance and said, "Then where to go, where are there many small restaurants." ”

I was taken by Xie Jing into that food street, Xie Jing saw a so-called Sichuan restaurant, so he went straight in, and said with a smile: "I like to eat spicy food, can you?" ”

I didn't care: "It's okay, I can do it!" ”

Looking at the dazzling array of dishes on the wall, I thought that Xie Jing would order a lot of dishes, but I didn't expect Xie Jing to just tell the waiter: "A minced eggplant, a kung pao chicken, and a big bowl of rice are fine." By the way, don't you order two dishes and get a tomato egg drop soup? ”

It was obvious that Xie Jing was not here for the first time, and the waiter said with a smile: "I know, I'll make it for you right away!" ”

Before I could react, Xie Jing had already started to burn the chopsticks and bowls, as if he was an afterthought, Xie Jing said to me: "I don't know what you like to eat, just order, don't you mind?" ”

I smiled and nodded, "Don't mind, do you have anything else to eat?" You can order a little more! ”

Just when I wanted to take the initiative to add more vegetables, I was held down by Xie Jing's warm little hand. Xie Jing's little face was full of seriousness: "When you go out, you can't waste it, we all just came out to work, and we spent the money given by our parents, so we can't waste it!" ”

Maybe Xie Jing didn't know it herself, but when I saw her say these words, I almost felt like she was glowing. Very right speed, the dishes that Xie Jing ordered came up, and I didn't need to do it at all, Xie Jing added me a big bowl of rice, and then covered the minced meat and eggplant on the rice: "This is super delicious, you can give it a try!" ”

Before I could move my mouth, I heard the waiter say, "You might as well order a rice bowl with minced meat and eggplant!" ”

Sister Xie said with a smile: "Your family's rice bowl costs 10 yuan a piece, and there is only a little bit of minced meat and eggplant on it, and a single serving of minced meat and eggplant is only 13 yuan, which is more than twice as much as the rice bowl, and the rice is only one dollar, why don't I order it!" ”

I really didn't expect such a young girl to be so budget-conscious to save money for someone I don't know.

After this meal, I fell in love with the dish of minced meat and eggplant. It seems that every time you eat it, you can feel that warm feeling.

After a meal, it can almost be seen that Xie Jing is a person with a hot heart, and he can take care of me, a person I just met, and keep serving me vegetables.

When I checked out, I realized that I didn't spend 30 yuan on a meal. This girl is really the kindest girl I've ever met.

After the meal, Xie Jing told me that she lived in the neighborhood with a few fellow villagers, and asked me to wait for her at the door of the intermediary tomorrow. Then I left in a hurry, I looked at Xie Jing's back, it seemed that even the wind was not so cold.

I don't know how I fell asleep that night, but it was definitely the most comfortable sleep I've had since I came to Shanghai. The next day, I came to the door of the agent early, and the agreed time with the agent was 9 o'clock in the morning, and I arrived at 8 o'clock.

The intermediary came late at half past eight, saw me alone and said with a smile: "Why are you alone, if you are the only one, can I send you in!" ”

I replied firmly, "She'll come!" ”

But for the next half an hour, I couldn't see Xie Jing's voice when I waited left and right, and the boss of the intermediary urged impatiently: "The time is almost up, can you come, if you can't come, I will send today's people in." ”

Watching the time pass minute by minute, my heart trembled a little, and finally before 9 o'clock, I finally saw the yellow figure in the distance running over, Xie Jing's face ran red: "I overslept, I was almost late!" ”

I smiled and said, "It's okay, thank you for coming." ”

The boss of the agency also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and immediately arranged for Xie Jing and me to get into a van, which took us to the location of the factory, and this time we were finally able to find a suitable job. This Taiwan-funded enterprise will be the place where I will work and live for a long time to come.
