18. You can eat any bitterness

Afraid that Li Yumei would regret it, Qian Xiaoying took out 3,015 yuan 3 jiao 2 cents from the bank with a passbook, plus 1,000 given by Qian Guangyou, this thick stack of money was the first huge amount of money she had in her life, but the money was not enough to pay the first year of college tuition. She thought about it and thought that there was one last way, which was to use the more than one month before going to college to work and earn as much money as possible. The goal she set was to earn 3,000 yuan, and if she could achieve it, plus the existing 4,000 yuan, she could at least pay the tuition, she thought to herself, as long as she could enter the school, it would be a victory! As for the rest, I can't care about it right now.

When she came out of the house that morning, Qian Xiaoying first used her ID card to open a passbook to deposit the money, and then went to the restaurant street. She had inquired that restaurants were the most likely to accept her kind of summer job. However, the ideal is plump and the reality is skinny, and she went to seven or eight stores in a row, either she didn't recruit people for the time being, or the boss scoffed at her salary requirements, and even two of them directly blasted her out of the store.

Standing on the crowded food street and looking around blankly, Qian Xiaoying, who was hit one after another, not only did not give up, but her belief in her heart was firmer, because she knew that she had no way out at the moment, and whether she could change her fate may depend on whether she could find a job on this street.

Qian Xiaoying's eyes were locked on a restaurant called "Sichuan Weiquan" again, she walked over and stood at the door, first closed her eyes and prayed silently in her heart, and then took two deep breaths before entering the door.

It was almost noon, there were already a few tables of guests in the hotel, the waiters were busy shuttling back and forth, seeing Qian Xiaoying enter the door, a girl wearing a blue background and white floral overalls greeted her with a smile on her face, and asked her how many she was, Qian Xiaoying told her that she was looking for a job, the girl put away her smile and looked her up and down, and led her to a corner of the hall, where there was a tea table, and a greasy old man with a shaved head sat on a wooden chair, making tea leisurely.

"This is our Boss Qin," the waiter whispered to Qian Xiaoying first, and then said to Boss Qin in Sichuanese: "Boss, she is here to find a place to work." ”

After the waiter finished speaking, he turned around and went away, Boss Qin raised his head, swept his eyes on Qian Xiaoying, and asked in Mandarin with an accent: "How do you know that I am recruiting waiters here?" ”

"I don't know, I just want to find a job, so I came in and asked, I didn't expect you to be really recruiting here!" This is obviously a good sign, Qian Xiaoying's eyes lit up, "Boss Qin, I want to ask first, how much money can you earn a month as a waiter?" ”

"The waiter's monthly salary is 1,002, plus a commission on drinks, have you ever been a waiter?"

“…… No. Qian Xiaoying shook her head.

"None? Then you have to attend the training first, and there is no pay during the training. ”

"Huh?" Qian Xiaoying was stunned, "Is there a job that can be done directly without training?" ”

"That's the handyman," Boss Qin raised his chin, "You're so thin, can you do it?" ”

"Then ......," Qian Xiaoying hesitated, "how much money can you earn as a handyman?" ”

"A thousand a month, three meals. 500 deposits will be deducted for the first month. Boss Qin frowned, obviously a little impatient.

"And the collateral will be deducted?"

"Of course you have to deduct it, in case you don't do it, or you don't come to the store by the way, who am I looking for?"

"Boss Qin, I'...... I just want to work for a month......" Qian Xiaoying told the truth.

"Oh, I see," Boss Qin was a little disappointed, "You're a student, you want to come to me for a summer job, right?" ”

Qian Xiaoying first nodded and then shook her head violently, "I'm a student, but I'm not here to practice in society, I'm here to make money!" ”

"Isn't that the same?"

"It's different," Qian Xiaoying's face turned red, "I hope ...... I hope to earn more money in this month's time......"

Boss Qin was about to send Qian Xiaoying away, but he was aroused by her words, he looked at her again and asked, "Then tell me, how much money do you want to earn this month?" ”

“…… The more the merrier! Qian Xiaoying's eyes lit up.

"No matter how much there is, there must be a number."

Qian Xiaoying thought about it, tentatively stretched out her right hand, and her five fingers stood upright. Boss Qin glanced at her slender hand, a mocking smile hung on the corner of her mouth, of course Qian Xiaoying understood the meaning of that smile, and hesitated to bend her thumb down, Boss Qin snorted disdainfully, Qian Xiaoying thought about it and bent her index finger down.

"Classmate, it seems that you don't know the current market," Boss Qin sighed, "It's impossible to earn 3,000 yuan a month by doing chores in a restaurant, otherwise you can go to another house to have a look?" ”

"I've asked several companies, and most of them don't want a month's short-term work, so the ones they want ......."

"It's a small pay, isn't it?"

Qian Xiaoying was hesitating whether to tell Boss Qin the true situation, but she didn't expect to be broken by him, so she had to nod.

"yes, since they don't want it, why should I want it? Do you have to pay more? Boss Qin asked again with interest.

"Boss Qin, you are a good person! It's a great guy! Can you just help me? I can endure any hardship, I can bear any tiredness, I work fast, I can do the work of three people alone! Just help me! Qian Xiaoying saw that the other party had the intention of retaining herself, and bowed ninety degrees to Boss Qin again and again.

"Okay," Boss Qin waved his hand, signaling her not to bow anymore, and his tone became kind, "Little sister, are you in trouble and need money urgently?" ”

Qian Xiaoying nodded with an "um" sound.

"Tell me about it."

"I ......" Qian Xiaoying hesitated to tell the truth, "I was admitted to university, but my family has no money, if I can't make up the tuition, I won't be able to go to college......"

"Where did you get in?"

"Dalian University of Foreign Chinese."

"Did you bring the letter of acceptance?"

"Brought it."

Qian Xiaoying took out the admission notice from the schoolbag she was carrying and handed it over, and Boss Qin took it and looked at it and gave it to her. Qian Xiaoying looked at the old man in front of her with pleading eyes, as if he was a savior. Boss Qin's gaze turned on Qian Xiaoying's face, and after thinking for a moment, he nodded slightly and said, "Okay, you can do it in my shop, I'll leave you." ”

"Really?! Thank you, Boss Qin! Thank you! Thank you! Qian Xiaoying was overjoyed and kept bowing to Boss Qin.

"Wait," Boss Qin waved his hand again, "Don't thank me yet, I haven't finished my words yet." ”

"Boss, you say."

"I leave you to keep you, but I can't guarantee the 3,000 yuan salary you want, because after all, this is a hotel, not a charity, you have also seen, there are more than a dozen people up and down this hotel, although I sympathize with you, but I can't help but consider the feelings of other employees. As for how much money you can get at the end of the month......" Boss Qin paused and glanced at Qian Xiaoying meaningfully, "It depends on your usual performance." ”

"Boss Qin, don't worry," Qian Xiaoying hurriedly expressed her determination, "I will definitely do a good job!" ”

"Okay, you can come to work tomorrow." Boss Qin waved his hand, signaling that she could step back.

"Boss......" Qian Xiaoying's face turned red with excitement, "Can I go to work now?" ”

Boss Qin was stunned for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's just time for dinner now, you go to the person who brought you over just now to change into clothes, and go to the back kitchen to wash the dishes." ”

"Whoa!" Qian Xiaoying agreed loudly, and bowed ninety degrees to Boss Qin before turning around.
