Chapter 9: Waiting Alone
In life, we must not lose hope in three things. First, don't lose hope in yourself; Second, don't lose hope in the world; Third, don't lose hope for the future; You must always believe that you are the best, that the world is beautiful, and that the future is the most desirable;
Today is September 12th, and it is still a sunny and crisp autumn day.
In that Mercedes Benz that was heading to Linhai University of Architecture. Wu Lie was trying to relax himself. That will be the first job interview in Wu Lie's life. He had headphones in both ears, and in them were his favorite music that made him relax: "Tick tick tick, the hour hand keeps turning." Tick tick Tick tick, do you still worry about him. "It's one of his favorite pieces of music to listen to. When he was in elementary and junior high school, he especially loved listening to DJs. Later, after going to high school. When they run recess exercises, they often play Song Dongye's "Zebra": "Zebra Zebra, don't fall asleep." Show me your wounded tail again, I don't want to touch the scar of your wound, I just want to lift your hair. "Maybe Wu Lie misses his youth at that time, or maybe he misses the sunset that dyed the whole sky red that year. Although he was still very confused at that time, it was also an inseparable part of his life. O man! We must cherish every part of his life, so that he will not have regrets in his life. Later, I went to university. He fell in love with light music and folk songs, and of course he also listened to some foreign music: "Nanshan Nan", "Life with You", "Faded", ......
He slowed his breathing, closed his eyes, and thought about the things that felt good. The girls who have touched his heart with affection, friendship, and even those who have warmed his heart; Try to relax and soak up the goodness. Relax......
Cheng Xiong is also knowing that today will be Wu Lie's last chance at Linhai University of Architecture. Because Cheng Xiong and his leader only took three days off, today will be his last day with his son. If Wu Lie fails the interview today, Cheng Xiong will not accompany Wu Lie anymore. Then Wu Lie will lose Chengxiong, the driver and the base camp. He will no longer be so easy to sit in a Mercedes and go to Linhai University of Architecture to find a job. He will also not get any help from his family when he is looking for a job. If that's the case, then the fate of the future can only depend on Wu Lie himself.
7:30 a.m. Wu Lie got out of the car, and he looked at the sun in the sky. The sun was so dazzling that it stinged Wu Lie's eyes. So he closed his eyes and used all his senses to feel the temperature and energy given to him by the sun's radiance! It was a blazing heat, a burning heat that penetrated the heart.
He turned around and said to Cheng Xiong, who was in the car, "I didn't call you, so don't come over!" Then he walked to the interview room. Because yesterday at the information session, the interview room of each company was displayed in the form of PPT on the big screen. The classroom where Wu Lie was interviewed was in Room 409 of the Public Building. Because he went early, there was no one when he came. He sat quietly in the classroom, stroking the bracelet on his left hand with his right hand, while thinking about the various interview skills he had looked up on the Internet last night. Wu Lie is waiting for the first interview in his life alone, and he is going to face it!
Time was passing little by little, and Wu Lie looked at his watch, which showed the time at 7:45. At this time, two classmates wearing black suits like Wu Lie also came in. Wu Lie knew at a glance that they were students of Linhai Jianzhu University. When Wu Lie saw them come in, he wanted to chat with them for a while. At least take a look to see if there are any people competing with you. Wu Lie smiled and asked them softly and kindly, "Hello, classmate." Are you here to apply? ”
"yes, we're here to apply. Aren't you, too? One of the tall men also spoke to him in a kind tone after hearing Wu Lie's words.
"yes, I'm here to apply."
The tall man blinked his eyes and asked, "Oh, the two of us are here to apply for the sixth company of Huaji 1st Road Bureau, may I ask which company are you applying for?" "Because there are not enough interview rooms, the interviewing company often interviews with several companies in the same classroom. The No. 6 Company of the First Road Bureau and the Southern Tunnel Company happened to be interviewing in the same classroom.
"I applied for the Southern Tunnel Company." Wu Lie replied.
"Oh, haha. Bless you then! Come on. The tall man said honestly.
"Do your best! Ha ha. Wu Lie learned that they were not competing with him for the job. With a sigh of relief in his heart, he asked again, "That's right! When I handed in my resume yesterday, I saw that there should be five or six resumes on the table of the HR of the sixth company of the first bureau. Why are you two here? ”
The tall man continued to reply: "It may be that some people want to find a job as soon as possible, and then print out a lot of resumes and hand them in casually." As a result, other better companies asked them to go for an interview today, and they didn't come today. ”
"Oh, that's it." Wu Lie secretly rejoiced in his heart, thinking: "I really hope that the people who submitted their resumes yesterday will go to other companies for interviews today." I was the only one who came to the Southern Tunnel Company for an interview, so HR had no choice. You can only choose yourself! How nice that would be, haha. ”
Wu Lie leisurely chatted with the two classmates, and the time passed until 7:55. The familiar figure appeared at the door again, it was still Wu Lie's father, Duanmu Chengxiong. Cheng Xiong walked to the classroom door again, and Wu Lie looked at him in amazement. Cheng Xiong walked in, and the two classmates thought that the interview HR was coming, so they stood up and stepped forward to ask, "Hello, are you the interviewer?" ”
Cheng Xiong said: "No, no. Then he pointed his finger at the overwhelmed Wu Lie.
The two classmates looked back at Wu Lie, and Wu Lie glanced at Cheng Xiong with white eyes. The two classmates smiled and sat back in their seats. Because the classroom is a row of three, the two students sat in a row against the wall, Wu Lie sat in the middle column, and Cheng Xiong sat in the most window row. Wu Lie was very helpless but didn't want to make a show, and said softly to Cheng Xiong: "What are you doing here?" Didn't I tell you? I didn't call you, so you don't use it! Besides, how did you find here? ”
"I don't want to worry about you, I wrote down all the interview classrooms on the big screen last night. Isn't this coming to see you? ”
"It sees, you go up and look outside. What's the matter with you coming to this house? Wu Lie looked at his watch, it was almost 8:00. The interview usually starts at eight o'clock, and Wu Lie said a little angrily in his heart: "You give me out!" Get out! ”
"Oh, it's okay! Just stay in the house for a while. ”
Wu Lie directly took out his mobile phone and took a photo of Cheng Xiong. Then he found his mother in WeChat and sent her the photo directly, followed by a sentence: "Mom! It's going to be an interview soon, so get my dad out! You said I was going to have an interview now, and he followed him into the interview room, what is it? After a while, Chengxiong's mobile phone called. The other end of the phone scolded: "You go out!" ......" After speaking, Cheng Xiong took his mobile phone and left with a disgraced face.
Just as Chengxiong was leaving. A short, chubby student in a black suit walked into the classroom. He walked in and sat down by the window. Wu Lie asked softly, just like just now, "Classmate, which company are you applying for?" ”
"Me, I'm here to apply for the Southern Tunnel Company."
When Wu Lie heard this, his heart was half cold. I didn't want to come, but I came, although I was not happy in my heart. But there is still etiquette: "Uh-huh! I also came to apply for the Southern Tunnel Company. Then he nodded to the short man. The short man smiled in response and nodded.
The interviewers then entered the classroom. Strictly speaking, they were late for breakfast. They didn't care, because they knew that there weren't many people they had to interview today. You don't need to spend too much time interviewing so many people like other companies. So it's not so strict with yourself.
The interviewer is a man and a woman. Wu Lie could see at a glance that he submitted his resume yesterday. His name is "Gao Bin", a man in his thirties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and holding a company poster. After so many interviews, Wu Lie also understands some things and has gained some eyesight. Wu Lie hurriedly walked to Gao Bin's side and said to him, "Brother Bin, Brother Bin." Let me come, let me come. After that, I took the propaganda poster in Gao Bin's hand. asked, "Brother Bin, where do you want to post this?" Gao Bin looked at Wu Lie and said in a Henan dialect: "Oh, thank you." Come with me and stick it on the table for me. With that, Wu Lie and Gao Bin pasted the poster on a table in the first row by the window.
The interview has officially begun. The interview tables of the No. 6 Company of the First Road Bureau and the Southern Tunnel Company were placed in the classroom in a row against the wall and by the window, respectively. They had all four students come to the interview wait outside the classroom, and one by one they called them in. The door was still guarded by the student union guard, and Wu Lie and the other three classmates were still sitting quietly on the benches outside. And the doorman who guarded the door happened to be the doorman who stopped Wu Lie when he entered the lecture yesterday, and he said with emotion after seeing Wu Lie: "It's not easy for you, how many days have you been." Look you're still here. ”
Wu Lie looked at him and saw that he had no intention of stirring up trouble. So I chatted with him: "Yes, it will be five days." Who let his college entrance examination score not be high, and the school he was admitted to is not good. I owe the debt before, and now I have to pay it back. Then he smiled at the doorman.
The doorman also smiled at him and said, "It's okay, there are still many opportunities, now all the companies that came in September are good, and it is still very experienced to go to a few more interviews." ”
"Yes, there are many more opportunities." Wu Lie replied in a perfunctory tone, he had heard too many such words, and he had even become tired of them.
The names of the interviewing students came out of the room, and the students walked in one by one. The four of them were immediately left alone with Wu Lie, who sat alone on a bench outside the classroom. With his right hand, he gently stroked the bracelet on his left hand, his eyes full of hesitation and almost ordinary longing. Waiting alone.
When Wu Lie was young, he was particularly afraid of injections. Not before and after the injection. But at the moment when the needle is about to touch the body, there will be a heartfelt fear in his heart. It's like a person experiencing great compassion and great joy, and he doesn't feel anything before or after. It's the moment when the joy and sorrow arises, and the feeling that comes from the heart is particularly unforgettable.
"Duanmu Wulie!"
His name came from inside the house!
The doorman opened the door, and a ray of white light filled the world in his eyes.
He got up and walked to the interview room.
The doorman next to him patted him on the shoulder and said to him, "Come on, brother." ”
