(429) Go for an interview
Looking at the mirror in addition to the pale face without powder, the thin body and the haggard look a little sickly, but still so young and beautiful herself, Jingrou was a little distracted for a while, and her eyes were gradually soaked with tears unconsciously.
Standing motionless in front of the mirror for a long time, until two lines of hot tears finally came out of her eyes, Jingrou turned around and threw herself on the bed after a few steps, and couldn't control her crying anymore, as if she was asking herself, and as if she was asking God: "Why is this happening?" Why did the two men I fell in love with end up leaving me? Is this the so-called thin life? Am I not giving enough to my loved ones? Why is my fate arranged like this? What exactly am I doing wrong? ”
The resentment that had been holding back in her heart came out at once, and Jingrou cried uncontrollably for a long time, until she no longer wanted to look for the answers to those questions, and decided to forget everything in the past, and no longer wanted to continue to suffer for the love of the past.
Got up from the bed and wiped away all her tears, Jingrou changed out of the long black dress and rushed into the bathroom to take a hot shower, when she came out of the bathroom again and looked at the mirror, looking at the red and swollen eyes, she secretly cheered herself up in her heart: "Don't be afraid, you can definitely do it, try it if you want to!" You could be desperate for one daughter, but now you can be even more desperate for three daughters! ”
That night, Jingrou briefly told her two little daughters about her plan to go out to work at night, and asked the two of them to pay attention to safety, never go out when they were not there at night, and lock the doors and windows and never open the door to anyone.
Jiayi, who is a little older, can already understand Jingrou's difficulties, and seeing that her mother has made up her mind to work more to supplement the family, she immediately agreed to her mother sensibly: "Don't worry, Mom!" I will definitely take care of Jiayue and will not let you worry! ”
Although the younger Jiayue couldn't accept it, she also learned from the second sister to comfort Jingrou and said: "Mom, I will listen to you, I will definitely not open the door to others, and I will definitely not go out!" ”
Looking at the two well-behaved little daughters, Jingrou's tears almost burst out of her eyes again, but she had already made up her mind that she didn't want to show weakness and incompetence in front of her daughters anymore, so she didn't let a single tear leave in the end.
After comforting her two little daughters for a while, Jingrou began to look for bars and clubs that were recruiting people on the Internet, after all, she was not too young, so Jingrou paid special attention to the age requirements on the recruitment terms. In the end, Jingrou set the target of the interview at two bars of no age limit, and successfully made an appointment for the interview, and the interview time for both restaurants was set for tomorrow afternoon.
The next day, after Jingrou arrived at the hotel, she hurriedly returned home, and immediately began to take a shower and dress herself up, although those long-dusted makeup tools, Jingrou felt as if they had not been used for hundreds of years, but it did not affect her skillful makeup movements at all.
It didn't take long for Jingrou to dress herself up beautifully, she no longer looked so pale and haggard with makeup, coupled with her carefully made hair, a pair of not very conspicuous earrings and a simple necklace, the whole person looked more playful and young. Because today is just an interview and not work, Jingrou wore a dress that looked fashionable and elegant, and could show off her posture very well, and chose a pair of mid-heeled leather shoes that were not too tall and matched the dress very well. After looking her whole body up and down in the mirror again, Jingrou picked up her bag and hurriedly got on the bus, and came to the interview location with trepidation.
To be honest, this is the first time Jingrou has interviewed in this kind of place, I think she had a special person in charge to go to work directly, and now it was more than ten years ago, so because she has been away from this industry for so long, she really can't help but worry about her interview success rate. However, Jingrou also knew in her heart that no matter how worried she was, it was just a superfluous move, and since she wanted to try and took this step, then the result could only be left to God. So, when Jingrou stood outside the door of the bar where she was interviewing and took three deep breaths, she basically controlled her nervousness, pushed open the door and greeted her new test with a refreshed face.
The reception of Jingrou is a middle-aged woman who looks like she is in her 50s, although her appearance is not ugly, but it leaves Jingrou with a bad feeling that is difficult to touch, because the bar is not open during the day, so at this moment this woman is the only woman in the store waiting for Jingrou to come to the interview. After the two greeted each other warmly, the woman asked Jingrou to sit at a table with her, and then she lit a cigarette and smoked it, and went straight to the point and asked Jingrou directly for the interview materials.
After a few glances, the woman put the materials aside casually, and then squinted at Jingrou while spitting out smoke rings very unsightly: "You look okay in your 30s, but you are a mother of three children, if you are asked to come to work every night, can you do it?" ”
Jingrou didn't plan to come to work every night, because it was written in the recruitment conditions that one day a week was okay, so she planned to come to work for about 3 or 4 days a week, so when this woman asked her like this, she immediately felt a little embarrassed.
But when people asked, they couldn't help but answer, so Jing Rou could only smile reluctantly and said, "I'm really sorry, I called to ask for an interview after reading the recruitment conditions, if I can, I want to go three to four days a week." ”
The woman immediately put out the cigarette butt in her hand with some impatience and slammed it into the not-so-clean ashtray on the table, and then stood up very unceremoniously and said with a cold face: "We only need people here who can work at least six days a week, your conditions are not qualified, you can go!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the woman threw Jingrou's interview materials to Jingrou, and then turned around and went to the back room without even saying a kind word.
A few years ago, Jingrou had interviewed many times to find a job, but it was the first time she had seen an interviewer like this woman who was unfriendly and even a little rude. A feeling of humiliation made Jingrou not want to stay for even 1 second, she immediately picked up her interview materials and stood up to walk out, but before taking a step, she still politely said "thank you" to the woman's back, and then left the bar quickly without looking back.
Standing outside the door of the bar, Jingrou looked at the somewhat deserted street, and was a little dazed for a moment, it was obvious that she had failed the interview, and she had failed so completely, that she couldn't help but have a sense of frustration. But there was another interview waiting for Jing Rou, and she knew that she had to get rid of this frustration as soon as possible, and only by mustering up the courage and spirit to face the next test could she have a chance of success.
Thinking of this, Jingrou immediately exhaled a long breath, she raised her hand to look at the time on her watch, there was nearly an hour before the next interview, so she put away the interview materials in her hand, and prepared to find the store first. Jingrou took out her mobile phone and searched for the map according to the name of the store, she remembered that the distance between the two stores was not very far, so she immediately followed the guidance on the map and looked at the shops on both sides of the street. Sure enough, Jingrou found the bar without much difficulty, and it turned out that the two bars were diagonally opposite each other not far from each other, and they were the only two bars on the street.
Now that she had found the interview location, Jingrou immediately felt much more relieved, so seeing that the time was still early, she found a random coffee shop nearby, ready to drink a cup of coffee and slowly waited for the interview time to come. After Jingrou walked into the coffee shop slowly, she could only sit in a corner of the shop because there were many customers in the store. When the waiter came over and asked Jingrou what coffee she wanted, she had just picked up the thin menu and glanced at it, but suddenly she felt a familiar figure flashing in front of her.
Jingrou wanted to see if it was an acquaintance she knew, but the waiter introduced the varieties of coffee on the menu to her at this time, so Jingrou had to give up and look at the location introduced by the waiter with a smile and order a cup of the cheapest coffee in the store. After the enthusiastic waiter finally left, when Jingrou looked in the direction where the figure appeared just now, the building was already empty, and there were only strangers drinking coffee in front of her. However, Jingrou didn't care too much, after all, it was just her feeling for a moment, and she felt that if she really met an acquaintance, even if she didn't see the other party, the other party would definitely greet her.
After drinking a cup of coffee for more than half an hour, she finally got up and walked to the bar to pay the bill, and then regained her spirits and came to the door of the bar. Because she was too nervous during the interview just now, Jingrou didn't pay attention to the appearance of that bar at all, and now she took a closer look and found that the appearance of the two bars actually looked a little similar, but this one looked more atmospheric than the one just now.
Reaching out to comb her hair, Jingrou took out the mirror and looked at her makeup, and after making sure that she didn't look wrong, she pushed open the door of the bar and walked in again in good spirits.
The interviewer who greeted Jingrou this time was also a middle-aged woman who looked to be in her 50s, and when she looked at her, Jingrou was really taken aback, because she looked a little similar to the woman in the bar just now, but this woman looked older and friendlier.
As soon as the woman saw Jingrou, she smiled enthusiastically and invited her in, she not only let Jingrou sit at a neat table, but also poured Jingrou a cup of hot tea, and then she sat down on the opposite side of the table, smiled and handed over a business card to introduce herself: "Hello, Miss Yao, I am the owner of this shop, Sakai Matsuko, welcome to come to my shop for an interview today!" ”
Jingrou quickly stood up and took Sakai's business card with both hands, then sat down again and said with a smile: "Hello, Sakai Mom, I am honored to come to your store for an interview!" ”
