Hua Hua took the trouble to dial the phone, and the young lady who answered the phone asked very coldly: "What's the matter with looking for Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou is not here." "I've been accustomed to this sound for a long time, and it's all a few pounds of ice in the sound.

If Chang Xia received this kind of voice, she might be smashed by the ice, but for Hua Huahua, it was a piece of cake, she shrunk her shoulders and pretended to be afraid: "Miss, your voice is very sweet, I think, your person must also be very beautiful, but your voice is so frightening that I don't dare to speak." ”

The lady who answered the phone should have eased up when she heard someone praise her sweet voice.

The flowers are so ingenious, and they are so "singing and dancing", and sometimes they can stop a big customer. But the big customer with a big belly only has to go to her company for a turn, and things are basically yellow, not only the employees are thinner than the yellow flowers, but the company can't grow other flowers———— there is no strength.

Therefore, occasionally, Hua Hua is lucky enough to leave only a small print advertisement, such as making a few thousand copies of promotional materials, and she can get a hundred to three hundred. That's the "big meal" in her salary.

"It's time to eat. Dandan, go down and eat. Dandan is the nickname that Hua Hua gave to Chang Xia, and I don't know why she gave Chang Xia this nickname.

Seeing that Chang Xia was still working at the table, Hua Hua stepped forward and naughtily scraped Chang Xia's face with her fingers. Chang Xia had no choice but to stand up and go downstairs with her.

About this office building, inhabited by some half-dead small companies, therefore, the girls who come out of the elevator are about the same situation, although they try their best to dress up beautifully, but they still can't hide the embarrassment. Like the flowers in front of you,

Just sat in the office and didn't pay attention. Now sharp-eyed, a glimpse of a small hole in the stockings on the inside of her calf. She may have also felt Chang Xia's eye current, and smiled, pulling the small hole to the inside of her calf.

But when I got out of the elevator, as soon as my legs were crossed, the small hole was exposed again. Obviously, denim skirts have already cost her a lot of money, and it is impossible to invest a little more money in small pieces like stockings. Everyone loves beauty, but the circumstances of survival do not allow it.

The girls who shuttle around the office every day try to dress better, but the economy is not good.

Chang Xia remembered that when she first came to the company for an interview, she saw a girl wearing a black shirt, short sleeves with ruffles, black trousers were more decently decorated, and the texture was better, which should have been bought from the mall. At that time, the dilemma of flowers could not be seen from that suit. Later, I learned that this was her "dress" when she was looking for a job interview, and she hardly wore it on weekdays, only on important occasions.

"Look at what! Haven't seen the legs? Blossom said with a grin.

Chang Xia pouted, "I haven't seen a hole in my leg outside." ”

"Then dear Dandan, when you get paid, give me a pair of stockings!" Chang Xia didn't say anything, went to see his own reflection in the elevator, and sighed.

How long has it been since you were afraid to buy clothes? She wore a small black suit on her upper body, a sky blue slip dress inside, and the two clothes were worn together, which was weird and inappropriate.

But where did she find so many matching clothes in her closet? The clothes she brought out from the town were all old, and walking on the street could give people a glimpse of the situation of the wearer.

The poor life is left for young girls, in addition to not being able to fill their stomachs, is the distress of not having money to buy clothes.

When passing by the clothing store, because there was no money in the pocket, I didn't dare to go in openly, so I could only patrol the door, looking inside, and the salesman's eyes swept over her whole body with contempt, which was like a pair of scissors cut to her current predicament.

What a pity it would be for youth to be as decorated without beautiful clothes as it would be for the earth to be decorated with gardens. Chang Xia thought sullenly.

But the flowers don't seem to have such troubles. I have reached the first floor, and seeing that Chang Xia is still standing there in a daze, Hua Duo pulled Chang Xia by the hand: "What are you doing, Dandan." ”

The façade on the first floor is a boiling voice, and every day at noon time, the dining façade area of the office building is full of all kinds of young figures who come to eat.

And Chang Xia also found that his appetite had never been as greedy as it is now. The stewed soup of Shaxian snacks, the sticky black dishes in the small fried shop, she looked at them and swallowed the spit, and the fragrant dishes that were usually fried in the pot did not belong to her.

After turning around, I walked into one of them, and I picked the cheapest three yuan a piece in Chang Xia, there were not a few dishes, and the rice was dry like a grain of sand.

Chang Xia saw the owner of the lunch box waving a big spoon and guarding the mouth-watering box dishes like a samurai. The big box placed on the stall was divided into fish and meat, which were fried until they were yellow and fragrant. Like a plastic flower, it shines brighter than a real flower. But it wasn't hers.

In the past, every time I got to the first day, the salary would come down, and it would definitely not be delayed for a day. It feels like an auto-sensing running water, and the water comes as soon as you stretch out your hand. Boxes of apples from the unit were rotten, and boxes of fish and eggs seemed to be cumbersome. But now, everything in front of me is delicious. But there is no money to eat, like a gluttonous cat.

Chang Xia looked around while picking up a boxed lunch, probably because of the lack of oil and water, most of the girls who came here to eat boxed lunches had gloomy and rough faces, and their complexions were as dull as orange peels.

When Chang Xia sat down to eat alone, the flowers disappeared.

(b)

Chang Xia eats with chopsticks. Those rice grains, the stomach seems to be poked with a hard erection. Because I haven't eaten yet, my stomach is clenching for a while. used to be full of lofty ideals, but I didn't think that there was such a thing as not having enough to eat. When Chang Xia was eating with a painful expression, Hua Huahua came back and sat opposite her, holding the two flour she had just bought mixed with a whitening agent in her hand, almost like a fake bun———— this was her lunch, and she ate it in a few bites. Eating is just a dispensable thing for flowers.

Then she looked at the young lady with a sneer on her face. While listening to Chang Xia's complaints, he giggled. picked up a small ant from the corner of the table, and handed it to Chang Xia with a wicked smile, "Eat, protein, nutritious." ”

"you."

Flowers, Chinese food is usually two steamed buns mixed with white agent, and occasionally go to Shaxian snacks, because only in Shaxian snacks, there is only one yuan of mixed noodles, a shallow plate, plus a little mixed sauce, is her big meal.

Chang Xia munched on the lunch box tastelessly, while studying the fake puffy face of the flowers.

Chang Xia, who was born as a medical student, is always very sensitive to diet and nutrition, and she knows that flowers look chubby, but in fact, it is not really overnutrition, but it is caused by nutritional disorders and hormonal imbalances in the body.

Looking at the buns in her hand after eating the buns in her hand in a few bites, Chang Xia speculated that the stomach of the flowers should become as small as a chicken's stomach due to long-term suppression.

"If you continue to eat like this, you will really become a bloated steamed bun." Chang Xia warns the flowers with some ferocity.

"Then what do you want me to do, I only have three hundred dollars a month." Hua Duo replied helplessly.

Chang Xia suddenly shut up. If you let Hua Hua eat a fast food box lunch for five yuan, then the monthly food bill will already be 300 yuan. The food money has already spent all her pitiful basic salary, so what money does she get to rent a house?

Where to sleep? Sleeping under the footbridge, it seems that you don't have to pay rent!

Chang Xia thought silently, society is like a big beehive, and there are some hungry and cold worker bees in each small hive. If you don't want to starve to death, fly your wings and desperately look for food.

In this kind of "small shrimp" company, the salesman strangled the rope into his neck for his own survival, and pulled the roller forward with difficulty. Of course, the small shrimp company will also die very easily, leaving behind the wreckage on the shallows. The company is not profitable yet, which is why the big mouth that came to interview me was dressed like that, and everyone was also a half-starved grasshopper.

To enter such a dying small advertising agency is to be semi-unemployed. Chang Xia sighed, looking at the face of the flowers. It's just that this dying little advertising company "charitably" distributes a little unemployment benefit for the government, so that the flowers do not sleep on the streets.
