Chapter 1: Failure

Next Chapter

Jiang Chengyu, twenty-three years old, graduated from an ordinary university, although it was a major, but he didn't find a suitable job because of his grades, or he didn't want to find a job to bind himself.

In short, graduation is equivalent to unemployment for him.

No longer need to learn what he thinks is useless, no longer need to waste that little extra second of his time in subjects he doesn't like.

He used to have a girlfriend, but because he graduated, he didn't have a job, and the girl dumped him. Does he care? Maybe he cares a lot, after all, it's his first love.

All in all, he was free.

……

It has always been his habit to get up at seven o'clock in the morning, although he can wake up on time before seven o'clock without an alarm, but he still sets the alarm on his mobile phone at 6:50.

The first thing he does when he gets up every day, like most people, opens his eyes. The second thing to do is turn off your phone's alarm before it goes off.

When I opened the door, I smelled a rancid smell, it turned out to be a watermelon cut at noon yesterday and put it in the refrigerator, and it was broken.

Helplessly, he spread his hands, took out the fresh-keeping bag from under the coffee table, put the broken watermelon in it, tied it, and threw it into the trash.

When I brushed my teeth, I watched the hair on my forehead grow under my eyes again. Cut hair? Forget it, he didn't like to cut his hair since he was a child, if it weren't for the previous school regulations, he could only go to get his hair cut once a year.

1.73 meters tall, sword eyebrows, under the double eyelids is a pair of eyes that always look wise but listless, the nose is high, the mouth is not big or small, and the overall is a very delicate boy, if you don't look at his beard that has not been shaved for three days in the mirror.

I washed my hair, shaved my beard, combed my sideburns and forehead hair with scissors, and dried it with natural oblique bangs.

He found his only white shirt from the closet, tied his tie, put on his pants, buckled his belt, took out the pair of leather shoes that had been covered with a layer of dust from the shoe closet, wiped them clean, and put them on.

In the living room, I took advantage of the reflection of the TV screen to look at my dress, not bad, full of energy, jumped twice, and kicked my legs. Then he put on the sports backpack that had been with him for three years and went out.

Why dress up so formally? Because he's going to a job fair today.

Attending a career fair? Doesn't he want to tie himself down because of his work?

He doesn't want to be tied down by work, but there is a word called "people are terrible".

He lived in the house in the small courtyard of his parents' unit, and they were all colleagues of his parents.

The children who were his age in the small courtyard graduated and either went to graduate school, studied abroad, or joined a large company.

He was the only one who had nothing to do all day, stayed at home and didn't know what to do, and occasionally went out to the supermarket to buy groceries and meet with the neighbors once.

It's good that I can't see it, and some good aunts saw him and asked, "Chengyu is on vacation?" You've graduated this year, which company did you go to work for? ”

No way, he's a guy who doesn't like to lie, at least in this matter, he doesn't feel the need to lie.

"Yes, graduated. I haven't looked for a job yet. ”

This back and forth, the neighbors who knew about his family knew about it.

Once, when he went to the supermarket to buy something and came home, he heard someone discussing it around the corner, and he vaguely heard his name.

"Fortunately, my daughter didn't take a fancy to him at that time, otherwise how can this unemployed kid afford to support my daughter in the future, you don't know, my daughter and her current boyfriend work in a Fortune 500 company, and her boyfriend is the manager of that IT company, which is amazing." Jiang Chengyu could hear that it was a chubby aunt's voice.

"That's not, I heard that his grades in school were not good, and my family didn't get into the key points of the college entrance examination at the beginning, and now he has found a good job! Your daughter is really blessed, we really thought that your daughter and him could be childhood sweethearts and come together in the future! "This is the voice of an aunt who lived downstairs before she moved.

"Haha, it is estimated that Jiang Chengyu will not have a company like that, he will not have a company like that, his long hair covers his eyes, he looks like a hanger, where is he worthy of my daughter."

"So I'm such a failure in the eyes of others?" After Jiang Chengyu heard these words, he couldn't help but ask himself in his heart.

"No, I'm not a failure, I just want to live the life I want." Then he strengthened his convictions.

He didn't continue to listen to them chew on the root of their tongues that day, and went back from the other end.

Fortunately, my parents have moved to the newly bought house with an elevator up and down the stairs.

He wanted to prove himself, so he was ready to go to the job fair.

"I'm not trying to give up on my insistence, I'm just proving myself to them." He thought to himself.

……

The job fair was crowded with many job seekers smiling and preparing for their interviews, while others looked unhappy and said they had been rejected.

Of course, there are also people like Jiang Chengyu who don't know what company or what professional direction to choose to sign up.

His backpack contained a stack of resumes with no less than ten job search intentions. Because his engineering major in college is very out-of-the-road, if he doesn't find a contract in college, there are few jobs with the same major at the job fair.

"Jiang Chengyu, 23 years old, graduated from Chenglin University, what kind of major is this? Sorry, we're still looking to recruit some professional counterparts. You can look elsewhere. The little girl sitting on the recruitment bench handed her resume back.

"Sorry to interrupt." Jiang Chengyu got up and bowed slightly to the other party, and then walked away from the recruitment desk.

He didn't expect that others didn't even accept their resumes, so they refused him and asked him to try another one.

“…… Sir, you go back and wait for the notification, and after the resume is screened, you will be notified by phone and text message to come to the retest. ”

“…… Sir, there is no shortage of your profession in our company now, you can try our clerical job, but the salary is a bit low. ”

"How much does it cost?" Jiang Chengyu asked.

"About two thousand, can you accept it?"

"Then I'll take another look, sorry to interrupt me." Jiang Chengyu didn't get his resume back and left the recruitment desk.

“…… I'm sorry, but we only recruit ...... who graduated from 985 and 211 universities."

……

I went to 13 companies in a row, and seven were directly rejected, four were asked to wait for notice, and two were not short of positions for him to try to be a clerk or other clerical work.

He knew that it was a failure today, so let him go back and wait for news, and there would generally be no news.

"Am I really a failure?" Sitting on a chair in the lounge area of the job fair, he tilted his head and muttered to himself.

"Hey! Jiang Chengyu! You're here too! A crisp female voice rang in her ears.

Jiang Chengyu turned his head and saw that it was the daughter of the chubby aunt.

Gu Fangrou, Jiang Chengyu's partner since kindergarten.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Chengyu stood up and asked curiously, didn't she say that she went to work in an IT company?

"Haha, I'm doing an internship, and I'm following the company's HR to help deal with resumes and do clerical work. What about you? Looking for a job? ”

"Well, you've worked so hard. I'll just take a look and join in the fun, you know I don't like to be too constrained. "Maybe it was the last time I heard the older generation chewing on the root of their tongues, and he didn't have as much to say to Gu Fangrou as before.

At this time, a handsome man with glasses walked behind her: "Xiaorou, who is this?" ”

"Let me introduce you! Jiang Chengyu, my good friend from childhood to adulthood. Lin Yijun, my boyfriend, my senior in college, has helped me a lot. After Gu Fangrou finished speaking, she licked and smiled at Lin Yijun, Lin Yijun touched her head dotingly, and then stretched out her hand to shake Jiang Chengyu.

"Hello, first time meeting, please advise, I heard Xiaorou talk about you."

"Speaking of me? What can I say? Hit her on the head often? Forget it. Jiang Chengyu thought so in his heart, but he still replied politely.

"Hello, I can't talk about advice, but Gu Fangrou is not interesting enough, there is no news about having such a handsome boyfriend!"

At this time, Gu Fangrou immediately interjected: "Why not!" A lot of the news I post is with him! You blocked my messages! Okay, you Jiang Chengyu, Junjun help me beat him! ”

"Okay, okay, good, this brother is smiling." Lin Yijun coaxed Gu Fangrou and apologized to Jiang Chengyu.

Jiang Chengyu really hasn't paid much attention to other people's dynamics, to be precise, his social software hasn't been opened for two months since he graduated.

Speaking of which, they have been together for less than two months, and their relationship is so good. Seeing that they are both wearing a sapphire ring on the middle finger of their left hand, is this engaged? So fast? It shows that they had a very good relationship when they were in school. After arriving at the company, the work was settled and decided to be together.

This is indeed a good thing, this girl is very smug all day long, and I used to worry that no one wanted her.

"It's okay, it's okay."

"It's hard to see each other once, let's have a meal together! Tell me how you've been doing. Gu Fangrou took Lin Yijun's hand and shook it.

"Yes, I have seen less of my former friends since I joined the work, so let's go to dinner together when we meet for the first time!" Lin Yijun also had similar feelings.

"Well, okay, what do you see eating? How about lamb hot pot? Jiang Chengyu walked around all morning, and he was hungry.

"That's so spicy, go for a steak! So decided! Gu Fangrou took Lin Yijun's hand and walked towards the outside of the venue, Lin Yijun turned around and gave Jiang Chengyu a slightly embarrassed smile.

Jiang Chengyu shook his head, thinking that this girl was still the same, except for the two engagement rings, how could it be seen that she was going to get married.

Pick up the backpack, remember that there are so many resumes in the backpack, and then perform a set of coherent actions, open the backpack, take out the stack of resumes, and throw it away.

"Go to the fuck for a job."

Jiang Chengyu ran up in small steps to keep up with the two.

"See what you just threw away?" Gu Fangrou asked.

"Nothing. It's just useless stuff. Jiang Chengyu shrugged.

The scorching sun of August is the youth of sunshine.
