Chapter 10 Part-time Jobs
On the first day of the National Day holiday, Yan arrived at the agreed place early in the morning.
She first found Senior Sister Xu Jie, a sophomore, according to the phone number given to her by Senior Liu Wei. After waiting for half an hour, Xu Jie was late. Yan Qing glanced at the time, she was five minutes behind the agreed time, Yan Qing was a particularly punctual person, and the senior sister's punctuality left a bad impression on her. But the work is still introduced, and she can't say anything. The senior sister asked her how long she had been waiting, and she had to lie and say that she had just arrived.
Xu Jie took her to a man in his thirties and forties. Looks like they're already acquainted.
"Xu Jie, why are you so late today. I thought you weren't coming, but I already had all the people here. ”
"Brother Xiao, on the first day of the National Day holiday, there was a traffic jam on the road. Why didn't I come, and I was a friend. Xu Jie said and pulled Yan Qing in front of Brother Xiao.
The small, wrinkled man looked Yan Qing up and down, left and right, and Yan Qing's face was hot.
"This is your friend?" He asked.
"This is a freshman student, and I asked Brother Xiao to take care of me for the first time."
"What's your name?"
Xu Jie pulled Yanqing's clothes, "What's your name, I ask you." ”
"Oh, my name is Su Yanqing."
"Okay, it's not easy to see you college students, just stand in the last row, don't be late next time."
Xu Jie nodded, and hurriedly pulled Yan Qing to stand at the end of the line. Yan Qing took a serious look at it, there were really a lot of people who came to work part-time, the team was lined up horizontally in four rows, and there were at least ten people in each row, including men and women who looked like students like her, and women who were a little older than her and had already left society, and then looked at the middle-aged women who were forty or fifty years old and her mother's age.
After everyone stood up, Brother Xiao held a big bullhorn in his right hand and a flyer in his left hand and shouted in the front row.
Everyone in the first row handed out a bag and a large stack of leaflets, and followed a leading woman across the road. The second and third rows were the same, and they received bags and leaflets and walked in different directions.
It was their turn to clarify their row, Brother Xiao came over and asked, did you all hear what I just said?
"I hear you." Yan Qing also replied with the voice of the team.
"What did he say?" Yanqing asked Xu Jie next to her in a low voice.
"You can just follow me, I'll tell you later."
Yan Qing nodded.
After receiving the leaflet, Yan Qing knew that the content of the flyer they sent out today was a newly developed real estate, with a few big red characters written on it that said the National Day shocking price, Yan Qing carefully counted the few zero 12,000 per square meter behind the number, she couldn't help frowning, thinking that her family couldn't even afford a toilet with such conditions.
"Let's go." Xu Jie called her.
"Sister, where are we going?" She asked behind Xu Jie.
"Brother Xiao said just now that our team is responsible for several traffic light intersections here, and he will arrange it with Brother Xiao."
"I haven't handed out flyers, how can I just give them out?" Yanqing asked seriously.
"When you see people coming and going, you can just send them out, and if there is a check post later, you can shout a few words casually, and no one will be watching it." Xu Jie said honestly.
"What are you shouting?"
"You can shout whatever is written on this flyer."
Yan Qing picked up the flyer and took a look, how could she shout at such an expensive price? Just thinking about it, Brother Xiao divided her and Xu Jie at the same crossroads, she stood on one side of the intersection, and Xu Jie stood opposite her.
"You're standing here today." Brother Xiao said to Yan Qing.
"Big brother, when will our salary be paid?" Yan Qing asked.
"Xu Jie told you when you came, you have to do it for seven days, and you will settle it together after seven days."
"What if I didn't do it for seven days?" Yan Qing asked cautiously.
"Then you won't get paid. The front is equivalent to being done in vain. ”
"Can't you ask for leave, half a day?" Yan Qing still wants to take his younger brother to the playground for a day and a half.
"Little girl, you should be in school and ask for leave." Brother Xiao sarcastically led the others towards another intersection.
"Don't throw a single page, I won't get paid if I get caught." He looked back and said.
"I'm not going to do that." Yan Qing thought to himself.
Yan Qing learned from the people who handed out leaflets on the street before, smiled and handed the leaflets in her hand to the passers-by, but there were only a few people who took them from her. Most people think she's a transparent air and ignore her actions. Some of the people who took it took it took a look and threw it on the ground, and she picked it up again when she was close. The people who took it and threw it away didn't blame them, because at least they reached out and took the leaflet from her.
She remembered that many people used to hand out flyers to her when she walked, and that she sometimes walked straight through like most people on the street now. She wanted to take the flyers that were handed to her no matter what.
There was no shade or tall buildings at this intersection, and the scorching sunlight was shining down in a moment, and her skin was sore in a short time. And she looked to the opposite side, and the senior sister who was supposed to be standing at the intersection didn't know where she went. She looked around and didn't see her, and there was an endless stream of pedestrians at the intersection, and she couldn't care about others, so she had to stare at the scorching sun and continue to hair.
At noon, Brother Xiao came over and said that there was half an hour to eat.
Yan Qing followed Xu Jie to find a cheap restaurant.
Xu Jie glanced at Yan Qing's sweat everywhere, and said, "Why are you so stupid, you've been there." ”
"Don't stand there, where are you standing?" Yan Qing asked.
"Are you stupid, such a big sun has been standing under the sun and being exposed, if no one is watching, you will secretly find a place to rest." Xu Jie said angrily.
Yan Qing didn't speak, and understood why she didn't see her just now, why she appeared again near noon, probably because she was secretly resting.
"Senior sister, how long have you been working part-time?" Yan Qing asked.
"Since my freshman year, I've been working part-time when I've been free."
"Do you have any other part-time jobs?"
"Yes, there are many others. Such as phone calls, promotions, and errands. ”
"What is the highest salary?"
"This kind of part-time salary for students is about the same, students are cheap labor, and if they grab a lot of money, how can they pay a high price."
Yan Qing thought that when she was queuing up just now, although there were some older men and women, most of them were indeed students of her age.
"Senior sister, next time I have other part-time jobs, can you ask me to go with me?"
"Yes, I'll call you next time." Xu Jie readily agreed.
"Really, great." Yan Qing smiled happily. Suddenly I had a good impression of the senior sister in front of me, and for the time being, I forgot that she was not punctual today, and Xu Jie was as frugal as her, and she only ate a simple box lunch at noon, she thought that the senior sister's family situation was not much different from her. But she didn't ask too much, because she thought it was rude to ask about other people's family situations like this, just like she didn't like others to check their household registration, ask her father what her mother did in what unit, what work, and so on.
"Hey, by the way, what is your relationship with Liu Wei? You're not going to be his girlfriend, are you? ”
Yan Qing choked on a mouthful of food and drank a few sips of water to get better.
"You're so excited to say you're his girlfriend." Xu Jie continued.
"No, it's not, I'm not his girlfriend, we're just ordinary friends." A clear and serious explanation.
"It's really rare, a person as stuffy as Liu Wei actually has an ordinary female friend like you." The word 'ordinary' she deliberately accentuated her voice.
"How long have you known each other?"
"I've only known each other for a short time, and I met when I started school."
"It's only been half a month?."
"Yes, I think Senior Liu Wei is very good, not only helping me find a job but also helping me move things for free. He must be very popular in your class. ”
The senior sister immediately burst out laughing.
"What are you laughing at?" I asked incomprehensibly.
"You actually say he's a popular guy."
"Isn't it?"
"If you think so, you're very wrong, our classmates have said no more than ten sentences in a year. He's a well-known otaku in our class.,It's a person who doesn't listen to things outside the window and only plays games in the dormitory.,Usually don't clean up in class.,I didn't see any girls in our class welcome him.。 ”
The senior sister continued to laugh, and what Yan Qing thought of Senior Liu Wei's image in her heart was also inconsistent with what the senior sister said.
The senior sister continued: "I was surprised for a while when he took the initiative to ask me to help a friend of his find a part-time job, and I never thought that someone like him would come to me for help, or for a girl." ”
"I asked him."
The senior sister didn't speak, stared at Yan Qing for a while, her expression was cloudy and sunny, and Yan Qing couldn't figure out what she was thinking.
After eating, the two of them didn't have much time to rest before returning to their posts, and the senior sister gave Yan Qing another advice, but Yan Qing didn't listen much, she felt that since she came to this salary, she had to be worthy of what she did.
But at three o'clock in the afternoon, the weather was too hot, Yan Qing felt that she was about to be roasted, and she struggled in her heart for a while, and listened to her senior sister's words with luck, and secretly found a place to rest.
Unexpectedly, less than five minutes after sitting down, he met Brother Xiao.
"Why aren't you hiding here at the intersection?"
Yan Qing hurriedly got up in fright and apologized to Brother Xiao, probably Brother Xiao saw that her attitude was quite sincere, so he waved his hand and said, "Go, go, next time I will be caught." ”
Yan Qing immediately returned to the intersection with gratitude, she was afraid that Brother Xiao would drive her and deduct her wages, so she worked harder, screaming and smiling at the passers-by, just thinking that she could make up for it more.
Fortunately, Brother Xiao didn't say anything after the end of the day, and Yan Qing's heart was relaxed.
