"Smack!" , a loud sound of a glass dropping, woke the girl from her sleep, and her first reaction was to be afraid. The sound came from the living room, and although the door was closed, it was extremely crisp.

Immediately after more loud and complicated voices passed through, the girl got out of bed and walked cautiously, and when she was about to open the door, there was a sudden loud noise, and she trembled in fear.

She slowly opened the crack in the door and saw her father punching and kicking her mother, and the scene was like a knife that pierced her heart like a knife, and she was almost unable to breathe.

"You're a fucking slut, Lao Tzu is working hard outside, you actually came back so late, I warned you last time, and if you sneak out to gamble, Lao Tzu will kill you!" The girl's dad roared and attacked with his hands and feet.

"Ahh!!hh I won't dare again! The girl's mother pleaded bitterly.

"How many times have you been warned? I'm going to beat you bitch to death today! After saying that, Dad's hand became heavier. He sat on his mother's stomach and slapped hard one after another.

The girl couldn't bear to look at it anymore, so she ran over and grabbed her father.

"Fuck off!" Unexpectedly, she was pushed to the floor by her father, and she sat on the ground and didn't dare to move.

Mom pushed him away and yelled, "You old immortal! A who doesn't have a human touch at all! I'm going to divorce you!! ”

"What the fuck are you! Leave! Leave! Leave! Immediately after that, Dad was beaten even more violently.

There was not a single tear in the girl's eyes, because fear and despair had overshadowed all the sadness and tears.

(4 July 2019)

In a somewhat messy room, a good-looking girl is unhurriedly packing her suitcase.

Her name is Xiang Fei, she is not tall, with a medium-thin figure, fair skin, and the most outstanding part of her facial features is a pair of bright eyes, which are like dazzling black gems.

When you laugh, you give people a warm feeling, and when you are cold and not smiling, you add a unique temperament between your stubborn eyebrows. Ordinary clothes and a face without makeup, so it doesn't look very stunning at first glance, but it's beautiful and durable.

Seeing her now, no one would have thought that she was so ugly in the past, like a rat crossing the street, who could only be ruthlessly abused and spurned.

There were no photos or anything else to be nostalgic about in the box, except for clothes and daily necessities. She was about to part, looking at the drizzling rain outside the window, and the original sadness in her heart was washed away.

Finally packed his luggage, Xiang Fei sat in the taxi to the train station, looking at the city in front of him for more than 20 years, he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion. This heavy rain baptized this sad city in a gentle way.

When she arrived at the train station, she queued up in front of the automatic ticket machine to get the ticket, and finally got to the second one, but the old man in front of her didn't seem to know how to use it, and she couldn't get the ticket, and some people in the back began to complain about whether she could hurry up.

"Old woman, put your ID card here, and then click here." Xiang Fei stepped forward and gently instructed, but fortunately, he finally took out the ticket.

"Thank you, little girl." The old woman smiled kindly.

"Uh-huh, you're welcome."

She also smiled back, seeing that after the old woman left, Xiang Fei suddenly changed her face and showed a disdainful expression, and no one saw it.

On the high-speed train, Xiang Fei was lucky to sit by the window, not because she could enjoy the scenery along the way, but because seeing the rows of branches passing by was enough to prove that she was getting farther and farther away from the city, producing a sense of peace of mind, mixed with a hint of excitement and fear for the unknown future.

She prefers to take the high-speed train to the plane because it takes longer.

She likes the feeling of being on the road and doesn't want to get to her destination too quickly, but unfortunately any journey has an end.

Before she knew it, she closed her eyes and fell into a sweet sleep.

The moment she got off the station, Xiang Fei seemed to have a subtle reaction of rebirth, believing that this city would not only bring her a new life, but even a new life.

After the inner drama, she quickly called a taxi and went to the address of the landlord who had already been contacted, and the sky gradually darkened at this time.

She looked at the house a little casually, although the place is not big, and the environment is average, but there are all the things that should be there, and it is enough for one person to live. The biggest disadvantage is that the geographical location is not good, the traffic is not very convenient, and if you don't bargain, you won't be sorry for yourself.

"Landlord, can this rent be cheaper?" She asked kindly.

"Little girl, let me tell you, my house is really the cheapest in this area. You go somewhere else to ask, even if it's the same type of house, it's definitely twice as expensive as mine, you look at how good the lighting is, you really earn it by living here. ”

"But it's too far here, the nearest bus station and subway station are quite far away, and when you called before, you also told me that the price is negotiable."

"It's okay, there are shared bicycles downstairs, and it's also convenient for you to ride a bicycle to the subway station."

"Is it paid quarterly? Can I pay monthly? ”

"Oh, where is the monthly payment now? I see that it is not easy for you to come out to work, so I rented it to you cheaply, and the rest can no longer be discussed. ”

"Landlord, just because I just came out of work, I really don't have much money, can you be accommodating?" Xiang Fei said in a begging tone.

"Well, you can pay quarterly for the first three months, and you can pay monthly for the next month, but you have to collect the rent twenty days in advance every month, and you have to extend the six months on the contract to one year, do you think this will work?"

"That... Well, thank you. It was already night, and she had no choice but to say yes.

"You look at the contract, sign it when it's decided, and then scan my WeChat and Alipay. If you have any questions, just tell me and I'll be upstairs. ”

"Uh-huh, okay."

"Then I'll leave first if it's okay, you can get busy with yours first."

After the landlord left, the corners of Xiang Fei's mouth changed from a smile to indifference. She thought to herself, this old woman's abacus is really fine, what she said on the phone is good, everything can be discussed, but she didn't expect that after she came, it was completely different from what she said, and the photos of the house did not match the real thing.

But she couldn't help it, after all, it was night, and if she didn't stay here, she would have to wander the streets.

After she calmly packed her luggage, it was already late at night, and she was dazzled by the various company recruitment requirements on major recruitment websites.

She paid a quarter's rent with her hard-earned money, and now she doesn't have much money, so she needs to find a job as soon as possible.

She graduated from a regular school, majored in marketing, worked a lot of part-time jobs, and often sold things in schools or other stores, but never went to a company.

The threshold for large companies is relatively high, and her qualifications are not enough. At this time, she saw a more suitable private company, recruiting for the position of marketing planner, and the work matched the major. It was accessible by subway and the salary was okay, so she decided to give it a try.

The next day, Hr told her to go for an interview. In the afternoon, she arrived at the company location on time.

"Hello, I'm here for an interview."

"Fill out the form first, and HR will take you there." Said the person at the front desk.

Hr is a girl with a kind face, "Hello, your name is Xiang Fei, right?" Come with me. ”

The scale of this company is still okay, and when she passed by, she saw that many people were working seriously, but there was no communication, and the working atmosphere was lifeless.

The interviewer was only one man, and after reading the resume, asked her to introduce herself and then answer a question.

"At work, what do you do when you have a hard time getting along with your colleagues and bosses?"

Well, this problem can be divided into two cases. First of all, I will do a self-reflection, and I must first find the problem from myself before I can judge whether it is an external factor. If I feel that this is my problem, I will change myself and then find opportunities to communicate and communicate with them more. If I don't think it's my problem, then I'll focus on my work and do my own thing. ”

Later, when it came to salary, she answered very pertinently. The interviewer nodded, said that he would come to work tomorrow, thanked him politely and left.

She was a little puzzled and didn't understand why the interviewer asked that question, but she was still very happy, she didn't expect to find a job the day after coming to this city, but she didn't know that what awaited her was another disaster.
