Chapter 78: The Result of Efforts (2)
Eighteen days later, on the ninety-seventh day of parasitism, the fifty-second day of the new graphic design class. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
At the beginning of June, at the beginning of summer, one weekend.
In the early morning, the streets are lined with tall buildings blocking the sun, the river brings fresh air, and the breeze gently blows the hair between the ears of the two women.
Or rather, the hair between the ears of two girls, who looked to be fifteen or sixteen years old at most.
One of the girls had a pleasant smile on her face, she raised her hand slightly, and after tiding her wind-blown hair a little, she lowered her hand, pointed ahead to her companion and asked, "Dandan, is that there?" ”
Luo Dandan said "En", and He Mengjiao said again: "What did your cousin say when he called just now?" ”
"He said he'd be there soon, let's wait for him at the door for a while."
"He helped us with our resumes, right?"
"Of course Luo, he'll bring it over later, let's go over and have a look first."
After saying this, the two people who were carrying only small bags with them quickened their pace and walked forward.
Their destination is about to be reached;
The Star City Talent Market is also coming.
Two minutes later, Luo Dandan and He Mengjiao stepped on the front square of the talent market.
The square was full of people, and all kinds of conversations rushed into their ears, and they were mixed with each other, one by one, and none of them could hear each other.
The further they went, the louder they became, as the two of them gradually became a little difficult to hear each other's voices; When they finally approached the entrance of the talent market, their two little heads, which had been raised, finally saw the situation in the talent market after passing through the last obstacle blocking their view.
As a result, He Mengjiao's small mouth immediately opened slightly, her eyebrows raised, and her eyes widened; Her little feet, which were exposed from under the pale yellow skirt, still maintained the posture of walking forward, but her body had involuntarily retreated along with her head.
What is most in line with He Mengjiao's state of mind at this time is the drastic change in the expression on her face.
A look of shock and consternation.
The two little girls who were frightened were the first time they had come to the cruel and tragic scene of a large-scale job fair.
In the past, they also stared at the monitor and lamented the job search scene in the video; I also opened newspapers and magazines and marveled at the crowded application scene in the photos.
They originally thought that they had clearly and deeply realized how difficult it is to find a job.
But it wasn't until this moment, until they stood in the talent market in person, that they really understood how shallow and pale their previous concept of "finding a job" was, and how superficial and weak their estimation of the difficulty of "finding a job" was; They really understand why this is called a "talent market", just like a vegetable market, a farmers' market, and a wholesale market.
Although it is still standing outside the gate, the air in the talent market is already mixed with a rather strong smell of sweat, smoke, perfume, fox odor, and all kinds of other strange smells that are not famous.
These flavors are mixed together to form an invisible, powerful hand. It aimed at the two who had reacted slightly, and gave them a hard push, causing them to jump back several steps in embarrassment, and then half-crouched and waved their breath to breathe, as if this would wash their lungs that had just been heavily contaminated.
After a while, Luo Dandan and He Mengjiao raised their heads again and looked through the door at the entrance: just like in the breakfast shop, the market was full of mist, and the vortex formed by hot gas seemed to be visible in mid-air; Like the raw rice noodles piled up on the noodle stall, the talents are crowded next to each other, and strings are scooped from one recruitment bowl into another.
The faces of the talents are excited, hesitant, frustrated, or anxious, all kinds of expressions are different, and the same is hot beads of sweat, messy hair, red eyes, and messy colors.
On the ground, personal profiles, company information, cigarette boxes, cigarette butts, catering packaging, glasses and shoes and other garbage are stepped on by the talents' dense leather shoes, sandals, slippers, sneakers, high heels, and bare feet, mixed into one color after another, and poked into one shape after another.
Luo Dandan and He Mengjiao, who were still elated a few minutes ago, looked around, their faces became darker and darker, their eyes became darker and darker, and their expressions became heavier and heavier.
Finally, at the entrance to the entrance, they saw a bright red banner hanging above:
Welcome to the Star City Talent Market, I wish you a smooth and happy job search.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, and suddenly, the phone rang in Luo Dandan's small bag. She grabbed the phone, said "En" a few times, quickly put it down again, and said to He Mengjiao: "My cousin's phone, he said that he can't get a car, and it will take more than 20 minutes to arrive." ”
"It's okay, let's find a place to sit first."
The two of them searched around, and after a short while, they found that the square was full of chaos, and it was impossible to find a place to put their buttocks.
After looking for a while, Luo Dandan suddenly stood still, pointed to the market, and said, "Or, let's go inside first, shall we?" ”
"Go inside......" He Mengjiao shook her head like a rattle without thinking, but then she bit her lower lip and thought about it, and said in a tragic tone: "Okay, I always have to go in anyway......"
So, the two little girls held hands and grabbed a large handful of wet wipes with the other hand to block their mouths and noses, and bravely entered the door of the talent market.
A minute later, based on their own feelings, the two deduced what kind of difficulty it meant for the Red Army's Long March to climb snowy mountains and cross grasslands.
Their hands must exert all their strength to avoid being scattered by the crowd; Their mouths must growl loudly so that each other can hear each other.
The two of them squeezed according to their physical instincts, and they didn't have the time or energy to look at the recruitment desks on either side.
I don't know how long it took to suffer, but when the two of them felt that the difficulty of breathing had finally decreased, and the environment they were in had finally changed back to a zone where normal humans could live, they no longer knew where they were and which direction of the talent market they belonged to.
It's not loose here, and the talents standing in layers are even denser than in other places; It wasn't as crowded and chaotic as other places, with dozens of security guards walking back and forth, many of them lined up in an orderly line, whispering softly, nervous and expectant, apprehensive and uneasy.
After taking a few breaths, and waiting until their heads were no longer so painful, the two girls looked around, and a little far ahead, they saw an obvious sign: Star City Talent Market/Area A.
Looking at the location of the sign, the two girls suddenly realized that on the recruitment desks on both sides, there were various names that resounded throughout Star City and even in China.
"Huaxia Mobile", "Huaxia Post", "Xingcheng Price Bureau", "Xingcheng Tianyi Group", "Xingcheng TV", "Brain Idiot Group Company" and so on.
In the process of looking, whenever she saw a unit nameplate that seemed to be extraordinarily tall, He Mengjiao's eyes would shoot a particularly eager look;
But whenever she sees the recruitment positions and job requirements described under the nameplate of the unit, as well as the talent team that can't see the bottom at a glance, most of them have glasses on the bridge of their noses and hold certificates in their hands, the look in her eyes will quickly dim.
In this way, her eyes flickered, and after each flicker and gray, the overall brightness of her eyes inevitably diminished a little.
After a long time, He Mengjiao's eyes finally froze into a gloomy one.
So, her head slowly lowered, she sighed slightly, and said in a complicated tone that couldn't make out the meaning: "Luo Dandan, let's go." ”
Luo Dandan, who had already noticed this situation, couldn't find anything to comfort her friend for a while, and she couldn't find anything to comfort herself, she just grabbed He Mengjiao's left hand and added a little strength, pinched her friend's palm, and said softly: "Wait a while, it's all here anyway, let's walk around casually, let's take a break." ”
"En......"
The two little girls wandered around and walked for a while, Luo Dandan suddenly said "Huh", and while being very strange, he pointed to the front and said: "He Mengjiao, look there, look there!" ”
Following the direction of her little finger, near the end of the A zone, there is an extraordinarily loose area.
There's a small recruitment desk.
On the left side of the table, there is a thin, neat stack of paper.
The two girls saw that there was no one in front of the recruitment desk, but there were a few dejected talents hovering not far away.
Those few people hesitated, and after walking back and forth for a long time, they would grit their teeth, slowly walk up and put down a resume, and then after a few simple answers, they would turn around and leave quickly.
Then, a woman in her twenties, with a slightly shy expression and a blush on her face, sitting behind the recruitment desk, would put their resumes together with the information on the left and gently knock them on the table a few times.
Next to the woman sat a middle-aged man in his forties. He was wearing an obviously unaccustomed suit, holding a bottle of pure water in his hand by grabbing a spatula, and the expression on his face was a little more nervous and embarrassing than the woman next to him, and even made people feel uncomfortable for him.
Above the two of them, there is a bright red paper pasted on the top of the recruitment desk, on which are written several rows of calligraphy characters of dragons flying and phoenixes, and the row of words on the top is particularly huge and magnificent:
He Mengjiao carefully identified it and read it slowly:
Grill the Milky Way.
