"Do you believe all this?" Yu Lingling's voice on the mobile phone suddenly rose more than eighteen degrees, and her tone was full of shock and disbelief: "Flexible working hours, do you know what it means?" ”

"I know," Wei Xiao looked at himself in the mirror, and replied numbly: "It's just that the working time is punctual, and the off-duty time is infinitely lower." But with three times the salary and compensatory leave, as long as the money is enough, it is okay to play for three days and three nights after work! After all, I'm short of money. ”

"Oh, naïve!" Yu Lingling sneered, and continued to analyze and complain with years of experience in social animals: "The huge upside is still a start-up company, which means that there is a lot of work and few people." Being good at communication means that you need to fight back and forth with many positions or other people who are connected to the company. Not to mention hard-working, it's simply ......"

Wei Xiao repeated helplessly with a toothbrush in his mouth: "After all, I am short of money." ”

Yu Lingling was choked for a moment, and after being stunned for a moment, she sighed for a long time: "Even if you are short of money, you can't let yourself go to be a cheap laborer casually. Besides, don't you have a part-time job online right now? It feels okay, no, did you find the company when you were working part-time? ”

Wei Xiao hesitated, took a sip of water, hummed, and said, "Sort of, it should be better to do something I am familiar with." ”

"Then you can try." Speaking of this, Yu Lingling's voice involuntarily lowered, with a little curiosity and hesitation: "Actually, if you are really forced too hard by them, it is better to move out......

"I also think that the matter of moving out should be considered in the long run." Wei Xiao said vaguely with a mouthful of toothpaste bubbles, drank a sip of water and snorted vigorously twice, then sighed and said: "They are starting to let me go on a blind date now, this time it would be best if I could determine the work matter, otherwise they always think that I stay at home every day and wait for death, as if it cost them a lot of money." ”

Before Yu Lingling could say anything, the bathroom door was slammed.

"Wei Xiao, why does it take so long for you to brush your teeth? Your dad is still waiting for you to come out to dinner and say a few words to you! I've been waiting for this for a long time, and I haven't seen you yet, what have you been rubbing inside? Lin Jingxian began to shout outside with her throat raised, as if she had no choice but to pull her voice up and down so that the neighbors on the upper and lower floors could hear it.

"Oh, got it." Wei Xiao answered, and quickly said a few more words to Yu Lingling before hanging up the phone.

After receiving Wei Xiao's response, Lin Jingxian's voice did not lower in the slightest, and continued to murmur loudly, her voice sharp and sharp.

Wei Xiao looked up at the window, the sun hadn't come out yet, and the whole city seemed to be covered with a soft blue filter, just looking at it like this, it seemed that people could feel the coolness coming from it. Wei Xiao sneezed unconsciously, and the feeling of being soaked in water for more than half an hour in the early morning came up, making her a little uncomfortable.

Lin Jingxian shouted at the door of the bathroom during the day, and when she saw that Wei Xiao came out with that expressionless look, she immediately became angry, sneered twice and continued to scold.

Wei Xiao snorted impatiently and squinted at her: "Are you annoyed?" ”

Lin Jingxian's voice suddenly became quieter, and it wasn't until the two of them walked into the living room that they returned to their previous sharp-toothed appearance, but this time her tone had a faint cry: "Alas, I know that it is difficult to be a stepmother for others." But for so many years, I have also tried my best to take care of the whole family, but now I still don't end up with a good word, and anyone who is unhappy can yell at me and show me a look at my face......"

"What are you talking about in the morning?" Wei Jianguo wrinkled his eyebrows, knocked the bowl in front of him with chopsticks, and glared at Wei Xiao: "I said you, treat your elders with respect, otherwise you will be guilty of marrying in the future." ”

Wei Xiao responded perfunctorily, bored and thinking in his heart: Anyway, I have suffered no less in the past few years.

When Wei Xiao was six years old, her parents divorced, and in the same year, Lin Jingxian took Wei Ming, who was two years older than Wei Xiaodu, into the door, and she didn't know who was the wrong person between her mother and Lin Jingxian.

Wei Xiao's mother was quite straightforward when she walked towards Lan, leaving only a long black knife for Wei Xiao, as well as a sentence: "Wait for me to come back at home." ”

In a word, Wei Xiao waited for eighteen years. No matter how much they didn't like this home, they didn't leave. Wei Jianguo thought that she was reluctant to let go of the almost non-existent father-daughter friendship, and often yelled at her, and now she began to interfere in Wei Xiao's work and marriage.

I don't know how long I can wait.

"I said, when you go on a blind date tomorrow, it's best not to say that you don't have a job or anything now," Wei Jianguo took a slow puff of cigarette and said self-righteously: "You still say, you help in the factory at home." ”

Lin Jingxian also laughed: "Yes, Wei Ming is your brother, it would be better for you to help him talk about it, every day at home doing something online part-time job, even if you make a few bucks?" How ugly it sounds, I don't know what kind of liar I think, and I look forward to the police station car parked in the building every day......"

Wei Jianguo and Lin Jingxian began to sing and harmonize again, and in a few sentences, they directly arranged Wei Xiao's future affairs clearly, as if she had no right to choose her life at all.

"I'll go for an interview in two days." Wei Xiao took a few bites of rice indiscriminately, and after throwing down this sentence, he turned around and went back to his room. When the door was closed, I could faintly hear the conversation between the two people at the table: "Waste things, there is no respect for the elders at all." ”

"Oh, don't worry about her, sooner or later you will get married. Today's blind date at noon, the other party's talent is also quite reliable......"

Wei Xiao looked at himself in the mirror, as if he could see the faint flames coming out of his head, and after silently reciting "World Peace" for three minutes, he calmed down, thought about it, sat down at the desk, and read the recruitment notice that he had torn out before.

"This kind of is called a wasteland......" Wei Xiao's slender white fingers tapped a few times on the table, turned on the computer and began to sort out his resume.

In the past, the professional skills usually had to be written about the proficient use of PR/PS and so on.

Right now......

Wei Xiao looked at the big words "good at using Tang Zhidao" that he had written, and felt that there was a burst of unspeakable disobedience, as if some unknown things were said so openly, no matter how he thought about it, he felt incredible.

Wei Xiao has not gone to work since graduation, except for some slight social fear, the main reason is that she has found another way to make money by mistake before.

To use the professional words on the job posting, it is: pioneer.

Rongcheng, like other cities, has been modernizing for many years, and various scientific principles have begun to prevail and become the most mainstream and reliable basis.

However, in the past two years, the air currents that originally existed only in various novels and fantasies began to recover.

Some animals and plants will begin to mutate due to the recovery of air currents. The hedron forged by special means can break and re-establish a new barrier, and after entering it, people can temporarily not be affected by the usual gravity and the like, and use weapons to cut off the mutated animals and plants, and there will be fragments of moon spirit stones falling down.

Depending on the integrity of the source of the Moon Spirit Stone Fragment and the energy it contains, it can be sold at different prices. These fragments of Moon Spirit Stone are often used to forge hedrons, or for medical research.

It's just amazing that the matter of the recovery of the airflow has not been widely publicized, and there is not even any relevant information on the Internet, let alone friends around. Wei Xiao's current understanding of these is limited to the words of the few people who specialize in buying fragments on the black market.

And now......

Wei Xiao looked at the words "Email successfully sent" displayed on the screen, faintly excited, and his heart began to pound in his chest.

If you can pass it, then you can learn a little more about these things. And I finally have a serious job, and I don't have to bear the annoying chatter of Wei Jianguo and Lin Jingxian every day.

If you can pass......

With such expectations, Wei Xiao's mood throughout the day was unprecedentedly excited.

At six o'clock in the evening, Rongcheng faintly has a tendency to go into the night.

Wei Jianguo is estimated to be socializing again, and Lin Jingxian is not at home, so she should have played mahjong with her group of sisters.

Wei Xiao carefully put the long knife into the tennis bag, and after confirming that there was no problem, he picked up the tennis bag. Since I started to contact this, every time I go out, even if I don't want to find mutant plants, I will habitually put the long knife on my back, and I have an inexplicable sense of security.

Sister Zhao of the breakfast shop downstairs was closing the door, and when she saw Wei Xiao coming out, she greeted her with a bright smile: "Xiaoxiao is going to play ball again?" ”

"Ah," Wei Xiao bent the corners of his mouth, and his voice was light and lively: "It's rare that the weather is good today, go out and exercise." ”

"It's good, are you going to the square over there in Hejiangmen?"

"Well, it's more lively at night, and there are more people playing."

Because Hejiangmen Square is the place where the three rivers meet, a huge square has been built there, and many people buy and sell cultural toys or some flowers, birds, insects and fish there during the day, and at night, it has completely become a huge activity square.

Middle-aged and elderly people dance square dances, and some young people generally play ball and the like, so a special tennis court has been built next to it. There are a lot of people who go at night, and if Wei Xiao is going to the black market, he usually uses this as an excuse to cover.

Sister Zhao really didn't doubt him, nodded and sighed several times that it is a good thing for young people to exercise more, and suddenly seemed to think of something, crossed her waist and sighed: "But over there in Hejiangmen, it was very lively all day today." ”

Wei Xiao hesitated for a moment, curled the corners of his mouth, and asked, "Is there something going on?" ”

"It's also very strange to say, I heard that a lot of dead water hyacinths were fished from the river this morning, oh, that is, water floating lotus. Who do you say is so lacking in virtue and throwing so many water hyacinths in the river? If this thing really grows well, the whole river will be ruined. ”

"Hey, nonsense." Sister Zhao's husband walked out and shook his head with a disapproving face: "How can it be so easy?" Isn't it an ordinary small fish pond that grows easily? Nonsense, it really is. ”

Wei Xiao thought of the overwhelming purple he saw in the early hours of the morning, laughed embarrassedly, waved his hand at Sister Zhao and the others, and turned around and got on the bus.

The black market sounds like a cool name, but it's actually just an ordinary bookstore. The three facades look very spacious, but the lights inside are a little dim, and they don't look like a place to read a book at all.

There were no other staff members in the bookstore, only the innermost desk area, where a person was looking at the computer, and a lamp was lit on the desk, which looked out of place with other places.

The bearded boss walked out of it and raised his chin at her when he saw Wei Xiaoshi at the door: "Here?" ”

"Hmm." Wei Xiao nodded, halfway through the action of taking the pieces from his bag, he hesitated and glanced in the direction of the table lamp.

"It's okay, my own people." The boss said this without raising his head.

It's still my own person!

In addition to himself, Wei Xiao saw other "own people" here for the first time.

Is that person also a pioneer?

Wei Xiao thought so in his heart as he opened his tennis bag and took out the pieces.

The fragments that emitted a lilac glow became even more dazzling in the dim light.

The boss stretched out his hand to take it, played with it twice in his hand, looked up at Wei Xiao and chuckled twice: "The fragment of the Water Floating Lotus, it turned out to be yours?" I've heard that two people stayed by the river for three days and three nights, and they waited until it bloomed, but no one got it, and it ended up in your hands. ”

"It just happened, it just happened." Wei Xiao scratched his hair a little embarrassed. At first, when she saw two people squatting in front of her, she thought that she would definitely not be able to get it this time, but she didn't expect that kind of oolong incident would happen later, so she picked up such a big leak.

The boss shrugged, obviously not too curious about the specific situation, glanced at her and said, "That's also your luck." After speaking, he weighed the fragment of the moon spirit stone in his hand, pondered for a long time, and spoke: "Or money plus stones?" ”

"Hmm," Wei Xiao nodded, thought for a while, and added, "But this time the spars, give me two." ”

If you want to get the shard, you must break it with a hedron, otherwise everything you see in front of you will only be an illusion.

"Didn't you miss a shot? Suddenly want an extra layer of insurance? ”

"Lack of money, I want to earn a little more, in case I happen to meet it, it will be a loss if I don't have it with me."

"You're pretty calculating, eight thousand plus two stones."

"Okay." Wei Xiao agreed quite happily, after all, she only knew a rough idea of these things, and she learned all from the black market boss, even if she was really cheated, there was no other way.

The boss opened the drawer, counted a wad of money and handed it to Wei Xiao, Wei Xiao didn't count it, just smiled and asked suspiciously: "Boss, it's the era of electronic payment now, how convenient it is to transfer money directly." ”

"Huh, transfer?" The boss snapped and closed the drawer, holding a cigarette in his mouth, with a little disdain on the corner of his mouth: "What's the point of transferring?" It's all hard-earned, and it's still the most intuitive and primitive thing, which is more enjoyable. ”

Wei Xiao smiled, and after chatting casually with the other party, he packed his tennis bag and turned to leave.

"By the way," the boss suddenly shouted behind his back, and asked a little vaguely with a cigarette in his mouth: "Your knife, should you also take care of it?" ”

Wei Xiao didn't expect the other party to want to say this, he was slightly stunned, and then laughed, with a somewhat helpless and embarrassed expression on his face: "I don't have money for maintenance, let's talk about it later." ”

"You really don't feel distressed at all, but it's up to you."

After Wei Xiao left, the talent in the corner came over in the shadows, wearing a suit and leather shoes, with the appearance of an urban elite, in stark contrast to the unkempt and rough bookstore owner.

"That girl, is that the one you said would use a Tang straight knife?" The man in the suit glanced in the direction Wei Xiao left, and the dim light happened to fall on his slightly raised face, leaving a shadow.

His facial features are as handsome as sculptures.

"Well, that's her." The man in the suit, who the boss looked at through the smoke, said with interest: "What? Want to play tricks with someone? ”

The man in the suit shook his head: "She can't beat me." ”

"Isn't this a coincidence, it can't beat me."

"It's now, it's impossible to say in the future."

“……”

"By the way, what's her name?"

"Wei Xiao."

"Hmm."

Wei Xiao came out of the black market bookstore, took a detour and went to Hejiangmen Square again, so as to brush his familiar face in the crowd, in case Wei Jianguo and them asked about it later. Wei Xiao was mixed in the crowd, and was about to follow to watch the scene left by the cleaning of the water floating lotus during the day, when he heard a soft dingdong sound from the mobile phone.

Wei Xiao estimated that it was some kind of harassing text message or something, and when he clicked on his mobile phone, he saw that he had received a new email.

"Hello Wei Xiao, please come to the Wasteland Office for an interview at half past ten o'clock this Friday morning, and all the details about the work are negotiable."
