Chapter 6: Dreams and Reality (1)
In the following weeks, as if to prove that the conversation that night was not a dream, Qin Hong would pick up Chen Ying at the door of the girls' dormitory at half past seven every morning to go to breakfast. In the early morning cafeteria, he always sat next to her and carefully observed how she drank porridge spoonful by spoon with her left hand, or deftly brought buns to her mouth. He looked at her so seriously that she was a little embarrassed. Occasionally, when the cleaning staff passed by them, Chen Ying would blush, and then quickly sit next to her, but Qin Hong always reached out and took her back, and persuaded her to eat more casually.
"Only that's it? It won't last until noon. Let's go buy a tea egg. Qin Hong said and took out his meal card.
"I can't eat, I'm really full." Chen Ying said.
While Qin Hong was carrying a tray to dispose of the leftover garbage and cutlery from breakfast, Chen Ying looked at his face reflected on the glass window. Unlike the usual dull and serious state, this is a vibrant face, full of vitality and hope, and the long black hair is also neatly combed, and the back of the head is tied into a ponytail with a blue hair band. His eyes are dark and shiny, and he often takes on a crescent-like shape because he is in a good mood. She no longer lowered her head, but looked up to find Qin Hong's figure, and once she met his eyes, she smiled unconsciously. She wore a snow-white sweater, the same light blue jeans as him, and a navy blue jacket over it. She watched him come briskly, carrying two people's bags on his back. The two of them held hands with great interest and walked towards the library towards the morning sun.
In the library, they always find a table that can only seat two people and sit together in front of the window. When the sun rose and the light was too strong, Qin Hong got up and closed the golden-brown curtains. The two men huddled behind the bookshelves, leaning on each other's shoulders, silently busy with the task at hand. Chen Ying is always doing homework and reading books. Qin Hong revised his resume through Chen Ying's computer, and then swiped the recruitment information of major companies, and clicked in to apply for positions whenever he had the opportunity. After this state lasts for a while, they will swap places, and Chen Ying will use the computer to do her homework or browse BBS. And Qin Hong took the book that Chen Yinggang had just read and looked through it roughly. When the bell rang at noon, they left two books that were not very important to take their place, and went to the nearest cafeteria for lunch with their fingers interlocked, and exchanged their thoughts on the morning by the way.
"Tired from the morning, aren't you? How many companies did you invest in? Chen Ying took the rice bowl in Qin Hong's hand and asked with concern.
"I've voted for eleven companies, and I'm really tired." Qin Hong tried his best to be relaxed, "Now this stage is the most tiring, because the same information has to be filled in by every company - the worst thing is that it can't be written wrong, so every time I look back and forth with my eyes wide open, and I am afraid that copying and pasting will be misplaced." Every time I submit my resume, I wish they would hire me so that at least I don't have to fill it out. ”
"After the resume is leveled, how many days will it take for the other party to give the message?"
"If it's fast, it will take two weeks, and if it's slow, it will take more than a month. While waiting for news, there will also be a lot of new job postings sent out, and then it will be another round of copy and paste. It's very boring manual labor. ”
"Eat something first, change your brain." Chen Ying pushed a bowl of noodles in front of him, and then handed him a pair of chopsticks.
"What are your arrangements for the afternoon?" Qin Hong asked.
"There were two classes in intermediate macroeconomics, and then I went back and disposed of the waste, and I had to write an essay."
"What essay?"
"There are not too many restrictions on the selection of topics about English training experience - or training experience, as long as it is related to English classes. The word count is said to be a requirement for short and medium articles. ”
"Do you have an idea now?"
"Almost."
"That's okay, you go to class after dinner, and I'll just go back to the dormitory and sleep for a while. Send me a message in the afternoon before selling scrap and I'll help you. In the evening, let's go to the library to write an essay, and go for a run together after writing. What do you think? ”
"Okay."
Chen Ying looked down at the stocks on her phone, browsing the financial news by the way. This year's employment situation is very grim, the number of college graduates has reached a new high, and the employment pressure of various majors is not small. Big cities are the first choice for many students, and although this university is one of the best in terms of hours, it can't avoid the trouble of two-way choice. Chen Ying has not participated in job fairs, she has only done some part-time work on or off campus temporarily, and has no experience in applying for full-time jobs. She felt guilty that she couldn't help Qin Hong, she never thought that the outside world would be so helpless, so she began to cherish the time she spent at school and wanted to pull Qin Hong into this umbrella.
"Haven't you ever thought about going to graduate school?" She asked tentatively, not wanting to put new pressure on him.
"I don't want to." Qin Hong bluntly rejected the proposal, "Someone in our dormitory has moved out to live in order to take the graduate school entrance examination, and he has been reviewing for three months - I don't think he sees it very much, and he can't worry all day long - and I think that studying for graduate school is to avoid employment, and I don't want to continue studying." ”
"Oh." Chen Ying was a little disappointed.
"But I'm not opposed to girls reading more, my sister is doing a PhD at our side - she wants to be a university teacher in the future."
"You have a sister?"
"yes, I'm not an only child. Unlike my sister, she studied history, and studying for a few more years can deepen her knowledge. I studied law, which is an applied discipline, and if I don't apply it, there is no value. Boys, they always want to make a difference through their own efforts. ”
"What do you want to do?"
"Why don't you want to be a partner in a well-known law firm - although I don't expect to have an impact in the legal profession, but at least I have to ensure that I meet the needs of life - so I have been mainly investing in law firms recently......"
"Is there a response?"
"Not yet, this can't be rushed." Qin Hong's slightly frowning eyebrows just now expanded, and he held Chen Ying's hand holding chopsticks across the table, "I am confident that I will definitely find a suitable job." I originally agreed to work in Shenzhen as a law firm. ”
"You are capable, I believe in you. I hope you receive the good news soon. Chen Ying put down her chopsticks and grabbed his hand.
