Chapter 93: Prologue to the Turmoil (26)

After some twists and turns, Louis returned to the Cloud Restaurant, but he didn't expect to learn from Jiang Wenli's mouth that he was fired by the boss.

The reason for the dismissal was, of course, because of the woman's complaint, but until now Louis did not know her name, and the name of the takeaway order was anonymous.

Looking at Jiang Wenli's chattering disgusting lips, Louis really wanted to go up and slap her.

After settling the salary of four hundred and eighty yuan, Louie came out of the cloud restaurant to change his clothes and sat on the roadside steps. The buzzing of his ears, the sound of car engines, the sound of the crowd talking, turned his ears into a pot of sticky porridge.

Once again, I lost my job, and I couldn't catch a single straw that I had just caught.

Louis was terrified of the city, looking at the migrant workers leaning on the sacks and playing cards, and feeling that they were much happier than he was. At least they have companions, and together they can withstand the wind, waves, and dangers outside, while he can only fight alone.

No one knows his grievances, and his tears can only flow into his stomach.

He doesn't know what his life will be for the rest of his life, and will he be able to survive in the city? If you can't survive, what will you do later?

The parents were already infected with a disease, and the two elderly people could not do heavy work. How could such a family leave him?

However, if you don't work in the city, how can you pay off your family's loans? If you stay at home with one-third of an acre of land, how can life be better?

Louis held his head in his hands, and he had a feeling of wanting to cry.

I don't know how long I've been sitting there, but it's getting dark. Louie stood up and spat fiercely at the Cloud Restaurant: "Your uncle, one day when Lao Tzu is rich, he will throw the money in your face and slap you to death!" ”

Perhaps, this is just self-comforting.

They came to the square across the road, where there were a pair of snuggling lovers, laughing children, and old people taking a leisurely stroll, and the laughter of the night echoed in Louis's ears.

It's a standard city life scene, but it doesn't belong to me.

On both sides of the square were restaurants, and Louis saw that at the door of the restaurant, the fat chef in a white coat was stir-frying the scoop, and the flames reflected their hot and sweaty faces; The table was surrounded by diners, laughing and laughing, and happiness rippled across their faces.

However, none of this belongs to me yet.

Louis felt like a stone, thrown into the city, unattended and unheeded.

Life is like this, it's really better to wipe your neck with a knife.

Louis had no choice but to go to the night stall and buy a five-yuan standard box lunch, find a random park, sit on a bench and start enjoying the sumptuous dinner.

In the end, you get what you pay for, the five-yuan boxed lunch is a combination of one meter and three vegetarians, and there is no meat at all, and the proprietress who sells the boxed lunch is not even willing to give a spoonful of braised pork soup.

Suddenly, Louis heard some melodious voices, staccato and rhythmless.

He suddenly realized that he had found a random place to eat, and it turned out to be the legendary tryst holy place.

While eating a piece of tofu skin, a couple of men and women wearing couple short sleeves walked up to him in one hug.

"Big brother, do you think you can give this place to the two of us?" The man wore earrings, and the brand-name watch on his wrist showed the identity of the rich second generation. And although the woman in his arms was a little beautiful, her eyes were full of disdain and disdain when she looked at Louie.

Come to think of it, this is a shabby stall that looks down on him.

Before Louis agreed, seeing the shabby lunch box in his hand, the rich second-generation handsome man suddenly smiled.

The rich second generation took out a red hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and dangled it vigorously in front of Louie's eyes. "I said buddy, don't eat this. Look at your dress, you look like an unemployed youth, right? No car, no house, no girlfriend, right? Otherwise, you can't eat a boxed lunch with only three vegetarian dishes.

Young man, if you want to replenish your body, I'll give you a hundred yuan, you go to eat buffet, you can eat whatever you like, eat until you vomit, what's the matter? ”

With that, the man pursed his lips and threw the bill on Louie's lap.

"It's just a hundred dollars. If you are too little, you will be given two hundred. Anyway, my man has nothing else but money. The woman twisted the snake's waist and said as she pulled out two hundred-dollar bills from her "man's" wallet.

The experience of the day has made him very unhappy, and the behavior of the rich second generation is completely trampling on and humiliating his dignity. He stood up in annoyance and took a broken mouthful, "You should keep this money to buy Durex." ”

With that sentence aside, Louis turned around and was about to leave.

As he walked, suddenly, a figure sprang out and fell directly into Louie's arms.

"Husband, where are you?"

Husband?

Louis was a little confused, he turned his head, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

The woman in her arms has short hair, a pure appearance, narrow eyes, and thick lips, but she lacks a bit of feminine charm and is neutral.

"You, are you calling me?" Louis was holding the boxed lunch, completely stunned.

"Oh, dear, it's not funny at all." The woman pressed up and rubbed into Louie's arms.

"I'm just a husband like you, who else can I say besides you. Husband, give me your boxed lunch, I'm hungry. ”

After speaking, she snatched the lunch box from Louie's hand.

"Don't run!"

", that stinky!" At this time, several hideous-looking men emerged from the woods and wandered around in search of targets.

"Let's go, go over there!" Several men ran away again.

"Whew, you can get rid of them." The woman patted her chest and let out a long sigh of relief.

Louis generally understood that the woman who dared to love was avoiding the group of men, so he staged the couple drama just now and got rid of their tracking.

"Dude, thank you. This box of lunch tastes a little rancid, I'm afraid it's expired, I advise you not to eat it, otherwise you'll have diarrhea. The woman politely handed the lunch back to Louie.

Louie glanced at her curiously, "Why did those men chase you just now?" ”

"Alas, this is my private matter, and I cannot tell you. Anyway, thank you for tonight. I've got a little bit of a business, so I'll go first, bye-bye. The woman ran away in a hurry.

Today's encounter is really strange enough, looking at the boxed lunch in his hand, Louis suddenly felt a sense of vomiting in his heart. It's no wonder that the taste is not right when I eat it just now, it turns out that it has deteriorated, and once people are hungry, their sense of taste fails.

After eating a love dog food in the park, Louie walked back to the rental house he remembered.

The rental house is located in a slum in the suburbs, a dark alley, a single room with a bathroom, a small broken window, cold in winter and hot in summer, no air conditioning.

There is also a second-hand Lenovo laptop on the table that I bought in college, and it hasn't been damaged after using it for so long.

Opening his laptop, he browsed through the job boards, handing in many resumes just to find a new job.

"Sosorry, i means sorry, do you know English? Have you passed grade 8 in English? what? Mandarin Grade A has not passed, and I still came to make some fun. Go out and turn right, pleasegoout! ”

"I'm sorry, we want a Ph.D. here, so you'd better study for a few years before applying."

"Just graduated with no work experience? I'm sorry, but we need a security guard with two years of military experience. ”

Louis came out of the n+1 interview company with a dejected face, wandering around the Blue Ocean Pedestrian Street like a walking corpse.

He ran for several days in a row, but was rejected by various interview companies without exception.

It's obviously a rebirth, why is life still so hard?

Where are the opportunities?

Unexpectedly, a few days later, Tyson called to inform Louis to go for an interview.

I didn't expect that in the end, I couldn't escape the clutches of Tyson, is the fate so big?

Two o'clock in the afternoon was the hottest time of the day, but Louis still stubbornly took the crowded No. 2 bus to Tyson's company in the north of the city.

When he arrived at the interview location, Louie found himself the last.

And the buddy he interviewed before, as soon as he came out of the interview office, he cried out, probably because he failed to apply, which made him panic.

Finally, it was Louie's turn, and he pushed open the door of the interview office, and saw five people sitting inside, all women, and near the window there was a tall and beautiful woman in black clothes.

Louis felt that this woman was probably their leader, and was looking out the window with his back to him at the moment.

He bowed deeply and greeted politely.

But the interviewer didn't say a word, and looked at him with straight eyes.

They just stood motionless and looked at Louis for nearly ten minutes, without asking a word. Louie didn't know what to introduce himself or say anything other than saying hello to them.

Louis was seen from nervousness to confusion, from confusion to madness, from madness to almost shock.

It wasn't until he felt that he couldn't resist asking them what he should do, that a slightly chubby woman wearing black-rimmed glasses spoke, "Louie, judging from your resume, you haven't written any work experience, haven't you worked yet?" ”

Louie blushed when asked this embarrassing question. "I used to work as a delivery boy in Meituan."

Who would have thought that after saying this, the tall woman who had been standing at the window turned back suddenly, and Louis was shocked that it was the woman he had violated!

She still stared at Louis with a cold gaze, arrogant and cold, mixed with resentment.

Louie didn't know how to describe this bloody affair, that woman was actually his interviewer, and she seemed to be a leader. His head went blank, and he didn't come back to his senses until he came out after the interview.

When he came out, Louie glanced back and saw that the woman was talking to the interviewer about something. It seems that the interviewer has a subordinate expression in front of the woman he has violated. This woman is young, is she the company's senior executive?

Thinking of her sharp eyes, Louis thought that this woman was definitely not so easy to mess with, and she was definitely a character.

It's just that when she falls asleep quietly, the baby-like cute and innocent look on her face will still be revealed, maybe she is not so vicious, and she imagines her as a witch.

However, the heart of harming others is indispensable, and the heart of guarding against others is indispensable.

For this interview process, I just want to say, it's day.

Before he knew it, Louis had walked to the square again, and sat in the square smoking, and his heart fell into the abyss, and he felt like his own figure had fallen into the vast sea.

This is the sky of the city, with white street lights and colorful neon lights decorating the night sky beautifully and charmingly; This is the bustling city, with high-rise buildings lined up one after another. In the brightly lit windows of the building, at this moment, a warm family sitcom is being staged, and the wife has prepared a table of steaming and fragrant meals, waiting for her husband to come back; Or a husband hugging his wife and sinking into the couch watching TV......

They were born in this city, they grew up with food and clothing, they always had endless change on their bodies, and they didn't have to work for their parents. They get into college with a lower score, they fall in love in college, and they return to this familiar city after graduation. They spend very little money to enjoy the welfare of the unit, they get married, they have children...... And their children go on to enjoy all the power and privileges that the city has to offer......

Louis was born in a remote rural area, and when he was a child, he always had to run dozens of miles to go to school and help his parents with farm work when he returned home.

His family was poor enough to be described as a family with four walls. His school meant that his sister had to drop out of school, and the family could not afford to send their two children to school.

In order to change the fate of his family, Louis studied hard and was finally admitted to university, but he would do nothing but bury himself in college. There is no children's palace in his hometown, no art classes, and no summer camps, he works as a tutor in the university and works part-time, and finally a girl takes a fancy to him, a poor student from the countryside, and finally graduates from college, but the girl leaves him again.

In the end, after graduation, there are only two paths in front of me, either to return to the poor hometown, or to stay in the city to work.

Louis chose the latter.

But in a society where a diploma is a stepping stone, Louis struggled to find a job but was never heard from. In the end, thanks to God's injunction, Yunwu Restaurant provided a job of delivering takeaways.

Louis worked hard in the Cloud Restaurant, overworking every day, but he didn't dare to get sick. Because an illness will wipe out his savings.

He doesn't enjoy any benefits in the city because he doesn't have a hukou in the city, and because his name is a wage earner.

At this moment, when you are whispering to your wife in a high-rise building, I am hungry in the train station square with you who also went to college. And all this because you were born in the city, but I was born in the countryside.
