"Listen to you, you've recently gone to peach blossom luck, then congratulations." Bai Xian listened to the department manager's voice that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and he was a little nervous, holding his breath and waiting for the following.

Sure enough, "However, I have always praised you for your thoughts and brains in front of others, and I believe that someone as smart as you will definitely handle things well." "The department manager's speech has always been very artistic, and the critic is like a wheel sliding off a bend at high speed, but the traces left behind also make the listener tremble.

Bai Xian put his mobile phone in his pocket, turned on the faucet and washed the vegetables, and let the water flow.

"Someone must have complained, in fact, I knew that sooner or later I would be criticized, but, as soon as she came, how could I bear to leave her alone. Forget it, too lazy to explain. ”

He suddenly saw Chang Xia's worried, searching eyes stretched out in front of him. suddenly sobered up, stretched out his hand and stroked Chang Xia's hair, smiled magnanimously, covered up, and comforted: "Fool, it's okay, a little problem at work, don't worry!" ”

Since childhood, his grandfather has taught him that a man is a mountain. In front of Chang Xia, he is a mountain. A twenty-two-year-old boy will grow into a mountain-like man from his lover.

"We have to find a place to settle Chang Xia first!" As he continued to wash the vegetables, he thought,

And who is the accuser? Sister Sha doesn't need to complain, just criticize him directly.

Sister Sha is a woman after all, and when she saw that it was not easy for them, her heart softened, and she didn't say anything on her lips, and Bai Xian was one of her favorite subordinates, just waiting for Bai Xian to propose it himself.

And the old salesman, who is used to monopolizing the air-conditioned room, must be now, Bai Xian feels sorry for Chang Xia, and places her in the air-conditioned room, he turns over and over every night, watching his air-conditioned room being occupied by others, naturally not as generous and considerate as Sister Sha, it is estimated that it is him, and a complaint phone call will be made to the company's headquarters.

The company's office is not a home, how can you keep people who are not from the company for a long time!

For this dispute, Chang Xia is still in his bones. During the meal, Bai Xian finally proposed: "Xiao Xia, we have to go out and rent a house to live." ”

Chang Xia was stunned, "Why?" She asked nervously, puzzled at the same time.

Just like the last time she went to Nanjing, she didn't know that she had to rent a house to live outside, and this time, because Bai Xian was there, she didn't think about the problem of accommodation at all.

Bai Xian took her to the office, and she thought that she would continue to live in the office like this, such a spacious house, usually quiet.

Bai Xian smiled bitterly and didn't explain too much, only said: "When I come back from below this time, I will start looking for a house." ”

Chang Xia put down his chopsticks restlessly. She was used to staying in that state-owned enterprise, and in the depths of her mind, she couldn't accept the fact that she rented a house to live.

Although she is young, a large part of it is a product of that era of distribution.

At that time, the distribution of work was a stable destination for the spirit, a permanent residence, and the same body as the old age, sickness and death. But now, they have nowhere to live.

This reminded Chang Xia of the grain on the drying field when he was a child, swept into a large basket, tossed and turned, and after a few days, dumped into another basket, which was not as stable as the granary of Anza. Moreover, renting a house costs money, Bai Xian's little salary for the two of them is already tight, and now there is an extra expense, she doesn't know when she will be able to find a job?

Chang Xia finally realized that their turbulent life had just begun, and the dazed future was pouring over in a dark and gloomy way.

"After the sycamore is half dead and cleared the frost, the white mandarin duck loses its companion and flies." The poem I had memorized just now swept through Chang Xia's heart.

"I used to be like I was in the incubator of life, wandering in the space of the unit. The glass of the incubator is transparent, and I can see the outside world, but when I want to swim out, this transparent barrier stops us.

And now, after finally breaking the transparent glass and coming out, I am like a small tadpole swimming in a thirsty riverbed, and I can only have a chance to survive when I swim into the great river and ocean of social employment. ”

Since looking for a job, I have begun to slowly restore the original face of life, there is not only love in life, but also more harsh: survival. In a small state-owned enterprise, at least she still lives a self-reliant life.

In the building, a thin man in a shirt and tie was neatly dressed on the stage, he gestured and said from the bottom of his heart: "There is no better opportunity to make money than this, which company can provide you with such a good opportunity to start a business, don't need a penny of entrepreneurial capital, you only need to have two diligent legs." ”

What they sell is an expensive children's English textbook, targeting parents with children, on the street, in bookstores, shopping malls, communities, etc., the market is as wide as the ocean, so their Taiwanese boss only started his business in his fifties, you see, now, renting a whole floor of the building, turning on the air conditioning, so that you can sit here cool and listen to the lectures, drinking free pure water......

The excitement of the audience was stirred, and from time to time someone raised their hands to speak, like a crab shell under the moon flashing and flashing.

Then he changed to a short man and walked on stage, also tanned and thin, also neatly dressed, a short strand of hair on his forehead was wet with a wet cream, wet and slightly cocked, he was energetic, agitated his arms, and waved his arms like a wing on his head: "Children, you can find your life stage here, you look at me, I graduated last year, and now, a month's income, you guess ......"

The two dozen or so people in the audience seemed to have re-entered the kindergarten, straightened their upper bodies and sat on the chairs with their backs, listening to the teacher on the stage bring them into the rumbling story of fortune.

The most common thing in the room is the rows of chairs, a table in front of the top, and a blackboard hanging on the wall, a bit like a classroom, except that there are no desks. A water dispenser in the corner.

Yesterday, Chang Xia went to the talent market to look for a job, and after handing in his resume, he was notified to come for an interview today, and he joined this camp. Like others, Chang Xia in the audience was also excited.

Finally, a tall man in his thirties walked up to the stage, his expression was solemn, his eyes were like a cover, looking around the audience, and the expressions of the people in the audience suddenly condensed into a quiet plane.

"You know what? There are two kinds of people in this world, one who doesn't know how to get food tomorrow? And the other kind of people, who don't know what to eat tomorrow? Because he had eaten so much that he didn't know how to whet his appetite. What kind of person do you want to be? ”

He paused, and his voice was heavy, and under the weight of his voice, it seemed to crack the mouths of those below.

Where his gaze swept away, it was like a horizontal bar, Chang Xia was under the horizontal bar, and thought in cringe: "I am the former kind of person now, I don't know how to get food tomorrow?" ”
