Since the conflict between the two fathers and sons of the Bai family over work, Bai Changshan has never asked his son directly about his work, although he doesn't ask directly, how can he not care? It's just that from asking his son directly in the past, it has become asking his wife Zhang Xiulan twice in three days, and the father and son are in a cold war, and Zhang Xiulan has become the best medium between the two people.

In fact, living under one roof, whether his son could find a job or not, Bai Changshan could know for the first time that the reason why he frequently discussed this matter with his wife was because he was worried that his son would be in a hurry to go to work to earn money and find a job indiscriminately, and the so-called man was afraid of entering the wrong industry. Zhang Xiulan agreed with her husband's point of view, and she had already passed on this meaning to her son.

Because the last time he did work, his mother was hospitalized and his father was sad, Bai Xiaoding blamed himself for a long time, so he attached great importance to his parents' opinions when looking for a job. He knows very well what a good job looks like in the eyes of his parents, in short, it is the kind of profession with high prestige and decent stability, but in today's situation, where is it easy to find such a job?

In this regard, Bai Xiaoding is not in a hurry, he has his own plans. As for the job, he will always look for it, and if there is a suitable one, he will take the post, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't, he has already started to review and prepare to take the unified civil service examination for the coming year. Being a 9-to-5 civil servant, although he himself has average interests, after all, his parents approve of it.

There is another reason why Bai Xiaoding is not in a hurry to find a job, that is, he has been helping out in a big barbecue restaurant, and he has been promoted from a tan chief to a chef. Bai Xiaoding's craftsmanship was taught by Wang Da, but he was very talented, and soon he was better than the blue, as long as he was in the store, he was a chef, and he could pick up everything about mixing meat and making side dishes.

handed over the kitchen affairs to Bai Xiaoding, Wang Da was very relieved, and became more and more dependent on him, and the salary he was given was also considerable. Although this job is not what Bai Xiaoding wants, and his parents do not agree, it is not bad for him to have a place to live temporarily during the time when he is not working.

That night, Bai Xiaoding was working in the kitchen of the barbecue restaurant, when his mobile phone rang, he took it out and took a look, and saw that it was an unfamiliar number calling, so he hung up and continued to work. Who knew that the other party called again a moment later, Bai Xiaoding hesitated and answered.

"Hello?"

"Bai Xiaoding?" The voice on the other end of the phone is something Bai Xiaoding will never forget.

“…… Zhan Xiaopai! ”

"It's me."

"You...... How did you remember to call me? Bai Xiaoding walked to the back door of the kitchen, and there was no buzzing of the fan.

“…… Where are you? ”

"I'm in Danbei...... Bai Xiaoding suddenly felt that his answer was a little stupid, and immediately added, "Oh, I'm in the barbecue restaurant." ”

"Where's eating?" Zhan Xiaopai didn't know that Bai Xiaoding had been working in a barbecue restaurant.

"Oh no," Bai Xiaoding quickly explained, "I haven't been able to find a suitable job, and now I'm doing odd jobs here." ”

"Are you busy now? Isn't it convenient to say a few words? ”

Zhan Xiaopai was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his home at this time, talking on the phone with Bai Xiaoding while looking at the bright night scene of Beijing.

"Not busy, not busy, convenient, convenient!" Bai Xiaoding said repeatedly.

At this time, Wang Da walked into the kitchen, saw Bai Xiaoding on the phone, and urged: "Hey Bai Xiaoding, what are you doing?" The guests are waiting, hurry up! ”

Bai Xiaoding ignored him and simply walked out of the back door, Wang Da was helpless, so he had to do it himself.

"I heard that you applied for a job as a reporter for the evening newspaper some time ago, right?" Zhan Xiaopai asked.

"Well, I went, but there was no play." Bai Xiaoding replied truthfully.

"Oh," Zhan Xiaopai said, "Now there is a trainee reporter quota at the evening newspaper, I don't know if you are interested, do you want to give it a try?" ”

“…… Do you say me? Bai Xiaoding couldn't believe it.

"That's right."

"Zhan Xiaopai, this ......" Bai Xiaoding was confused, "What's going on?" I don't understand. ”

"Oh yes, President Wang of the evening newspaper is my father's old classmate, and he told me the news, I think...... You've always wanted to be a journalist, so ask if you'd like to ......."

Zhan Xiaopai didn't want to tell Bai Xiaoding that this was an opportunity she had fought for him, but she was obviously not good at lying.

"Zhan Xiaopai," Bai Xiaoding immediately figured it out, and said in one sentence, "You begged your father to get this quota, right?" ”

“…… Sort of," Seeing Bai Xiaoding so puzzled, Zhan Xiaopai could only admit it, "But it's also a coincidence, because you went to apply for a job, President Wang Wenli still has an impression of you, and he admires you, so he decided immediately." ”

“…… Why are you helping me find a job? Bai Xiaoding's voice was low.

"Because...... I think you'll be a good journalist, and ......" Zhan Xiaopai began to lie again, "We're classmates, isn't it normal for me to help you find a job?" ”

“…… It's not your sincere words, but it doesn't matter," Bai Xiaoding said, "I'm not going, thank you." ”

"Hey Bai Xiaoding!" Hearing Bai Xiaoding say this, Zhan Xiaopai's voice suddenly rose, "Why don't you go?" ”

"Why should I go?" Bai Xiaoding's voice also became louder, "Zhan Xiaopai, do you know, last time, it was the reporter work of the evening newspaper, my dad was stunned to let people get 15,000 benefits in order to do it for me, I quarreled with my dad, and as a result, my mother was so angry that she was hospitalized, if I went this time, then how much favor should I accept from you?" I can't afford it! ”

"Bai Xiaoding! Don't make me look down on you! Who said that you were used to return the favor? Zhan Xiaopai's voice at this time was not only loud, but also more angry, "You are playing with me here now and playing cool, it seems that you are very stubborn, right?" Did you forget that your mother was not in good health at this time? Aren't you afraid that she will watch you every day and be anxious to find a suitable job? ”

"I ......" Bai Xiaoding was hit by the pain point and was speechless for a while.

"Also, do you think this job is as simple as going to work? I've told you everything, it's a trainee reporter, a one-year probationary period, you can stay if you do a good job, and you have to get out if you don't do well, so whether you can stay or not depends on your own ability and hard work! ”

Bai Xiaoding was silent with his mobile phone, not knowing what to say.

"Anyway, I've said everything I need to say, report next Monday, it's up to you whether you go or not, you can do it yourself." Zhan Xiaopai hung up the phone after speaking.

There was a busy sound from the earpiece, and Bai Xiaoding slowly put down the phone, his eyes deep and complicated.
