Chapter 47: The Boat and the Harbor
As one of the most economically developed cities in China, Pengcheng has always had a large number of migrant workers.
Unlike Shengjing, the capital city in the north, Pengcheng has a hot and humid climate and does not have so many basements, so most of the buildings rented by Pengpiao are residential buildings.
To be precise, it is a partition room in a residential building. It is to use partitions to divide the whole house into small compartments of less than 10 square meters. Generally speaking, a house of seventy or eighty square meters can easily be divided into seven or eight cubicles, and there is a common bathroom.
Such a cubicle can fit a bed and a table at most, and it is so small that it can barely be regarded as a place to sleep, making people not homeless. However, the price of such partitions is not low, depending on the location, the price range is 500 to 2000.
It's just that in the past few years, Pengcheng has not even been able to rent such a partition room.
Due to fire hazards, frequent theft incidents, and difficulties in registering foreign populations, Pengcheng began to vigorously rectify such privately rebuilt partition room rental houses in recent years, and strictly cracked down, remediated and demolished a large number of such partition rooms.
As a result, the cost of living in Pengcheng has risen again, and shared housing has become the mainstream.
Liu Piaopiao shared a three-bedroom apartment with two other girls of the same age, one for each of the three bedrooms, and everyone shared the bathroom, living room, and kitchen.
Although the three-bedroom apartment is located in a slightly remote area, the rent is still expensive, and even if it is shared, each person has to pay 2,500 yuan per month to pay it.
Fortunately, Liu Piaopiaoxin found a job, although the salary is not rich, but it is barely enough to pay rent, food and the like.
The new company went to work at nine o'clock, and the time on the road was about half an hour, but Liu Piaopiao got up before seven o'clock.
After taking a shower, eating a bowl of milk-soaked oatmeal, and drinking a glass of orange juice, she dried her hair and began to dress up carefully.
Concealer, powder, eyebrow pencil, eyeliner, mascara, lip liner, lipstick, blush powder......
After nearly two hours of busyness, she sprayed and applied the delicate and fragrant perfume, put on her work clothes, and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror.
Looking at the charming and graceful person in the mirror, she nodded with satisfaction.
Then she closed her eyes and thought silently in her heart.
Liu Piaopiao, you are not young anymore, and there is not much time left for you! You have to come on! Be sure to work hard!
Ten seconds later, she opened her eyes, glanced at the wall clock that had just reached 8:20, changed into a pair of black pointed-toe high heels, walked out of the rented house, and walked towards the company.
Yes, she is not young anymore, she is 25 years old, she has been in society for three years, and she is also about to become an older unmarried young woman, about to become a "discount goods"......
Standing in the bustling subway station, looking at the student couple in front of them clinging to each other, Liu Piaopiao sighed faintly.
I used to be such a carefree and simple-minded girl. But as soon as I graduated, things changed.
The boyfriend who once said that he would love him for the rest of his life went back to his hometown without leaving a word, he once said that he would help his senior sister trick him into going to the bar to warm up, and Diaosi, who once pursued himself wholeheartedly, quickly married another ordinary girl......
After getting a job, I don't meet those bosses who are lustful, just want to be happy, and don't want to be responsible; is the boss of those old women who are extremely jealous, targeted everywhere, and picky in their eggs; There are also those working men who have no money, no responsibility, and no ability.
The subway is speeding away, and billboards sweep through the windows.
The look on Liu Piaopiao's face also changed from the initial confusion to unparalleled firmness!
We women, what kind of job is stable and ability, it is all false! It's all flowers in the mirror, and the moon in the water! You can't see it, you can't touch it!
Only when you are young and beautiful, marry yourself and marry a good man who is both excellent and rich, this is the safest, the most correct, and the happiest!
Less than a year after stepping into society, Liu Piaopiao understood this "truth"!
But how is it easy to find such a high-quality man? Either he was the first to get on the ground, he was already famous, or the competition was fierce, and he needed to fight with other women, or he was simply a playboy, and he was just playing and never wanted to get married.
Therefore, in the next two years, Liu Piaopiao has been constantly changing jobs, looking for the "ideal harbor" that she can dock in her mind.
And now, she feels that she has discovered this "harbor"! All she has to do now is to lean over her "small boat"! Stop it! And then contract the entire "harbor"!
The metro arrived quickly.
Click, click, click......
High heels hit the marble floor, she walked all the way into the Huake Business Building, and then in the eyes of other company employees, she took the elevator to the eighth floor, turned right, and walked to Tianang Electronic Entertainment Co., Ltd.
"Sister Piao Piao is early, Sister Piao Piao is so beautiful today." As soon as she arrived at the door of the company, a cute girl with a round face at the front desk greeted her warmly.
"Well, you're early, too." Liu Piaopiao smiled and nodded, and then walked into the company.
For other girls who are not competitors, Liu Piaopiao doesn't mind showing a certain amount of kindness.
There are a lot of beautiful girls in the company, but none of them are her competitors.
In addition to her, these girls are all college graduates who have just stepped into society, and they have not yet seen the cruelty of society, have not yet appreciated the correctness of the "truth", and are even full of unrealistic fantasies about the so-called love......
To put it simply, these beautiful "boats" are still drifting aimlessly on the sea, and they have not yet experienced storms, lightning and thunder, and have not yet known a "harbor" that can shelter from the wind and rain, and even the preciousness of "ideal harbor".
Since no one snatched the "harbor" with her, Liu Piaopiao naturally would not conflict with them, and even had a good relationship with them.
However, once a stupid girl's head suddenly opens up and intends to compete with her for the same "harbor", then Liu Piaopiao doesn't mind using some methods that have been fought in a hundred battles...... Smash her!
Liu Piaopiao sat down in his seat, and other employees in the company also came to the company one after another and started the day of work.
The company has a full attendance bonus of 500 yuan per month, with a deduction of 100 for being late, 100 deductions for leaving early, and a full deduction for absenteeism. For a rare good company from 9 to 6 in the morning every day, the employees are still very punctual, and in the past few months, no one has been deducted from the full attendance award.
Liu Piaopiao's position is a clerk, which is the most ordinary, a clerk in the marketing department. There are six clerical girls in the company, and at the beginning, with three years of work experience and some skill, she became the temporary manager of the other girls, but when the company's newly recruited marketing department took office, she became an ordinary employee again.
The current marketing director, surnamed Jiang, is a middle-aged woman in her early forties, who looks quite wealthy, with a smile on her face all day long, and never gets angry. But she is a senior manager who has been in the office for more than 20 years, and she is well versed in office politics and has superb skills.
The time of work always passed very slowly, and slowly, it was half past ten, at this time, Minister Jiang spoke: "Xiaolu, help me send this report to Mr. Li." ”
A cute girl sitting next to Liu Piaopiao immediately stood up, and she looked dazed: "Huh? I? ”
Golden opportunity!
Without waiting for Minister Jiang to confirm anything, Liu Piaopiao stood up suddenly, moved the chair silently, blocked the direction of the deer next to him, and then said with a smile: "I'll go." ”
Minister Jiang didn't say anything, just took a deep look at Liu Piaopiao, and then handed over the report.
