Chapter 43: Corner Cafe
What is fairness?
Fairness is a scale in people's hearts, and everyone has a different standard of measurement. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Zhang Yi actually understands that there is no absolute fairness in this world, and everyone's different backgrounds have actually caused unfairness.
But since everyone lives in a society, relative fairness must at least, for a person like him who suffers from serious mental cleanliness, he does not have high requirements for this society, at least what he must do is to buy tickets without cutting in line, and not grab seats for meals.
But in fact, most people have never cared about this kind of small things of sesame mung beans, and the more they don't care about these small things, the more the fair norms of human society will collapse.
Let's take a look at the dark side of this seemingly peaceful human society.
Every moment and every second, the transaction of favors and money is going on, and every moment and every second, someone is giving something that should not be paid in a democratic and fair society for a certain position, for a certain thing, or for their own livelihood.
Most people take this for granted, with a small number of people choosing to resist from their own hearts, and many more are forced to do so, because this is the way social trends are.
Of course, most of these small groups of people are at the bottom of society, while most of them are middle or even high-level, and the reason why they do not exclude them is because they have already obtained benefits that are beneficial to themselves in these favor transactions.
Then most of these people and more people intensified, more and more people joined them, and a veritable human relationship society was born.
Of course, this question will involve human nature and more complex issues.
Zhang Yi has always been uninterested in these complex issues, all he can do is refuse these things to happen to him, even if this job can give him and Ning Ning a higher quality of life on earth, he still refuses, even if he actually has a chance to win this unfair duel, but he is really too lazy to show those applicants what to show to those who are applying for work.
Back on earth, Zhang Yi has only one direction in life, and that is to live comfortably.
So after walking out of the teaching building of Nanke University, the comfortable Zhang Yi habitually took out a Sanqi brand cigarette and walked all the way back to the old street, thinking about his savings in his mind, thinking about whether he wanted to do some small business.
What he didn't know was that after he left, a quarrel broke out in the classroom where he was applying.
The beginning of the argument was told by Katie, who looked around at everyone and asked the question she wanted to ask the most: "The results of the test papers are not a secret, but everyone knows that they should be kept secret, I wonder who leaked it to the candidate named Sui Qiang?" ”
Katie's question sounded like a question for everyone, but her eyes were on Erica.
Erica looked at Katie's eyes, and said lightly: "This is not a big deal, since this Mr. Zhang Yi has such a temperamental character, it would be good to let him have it, I don't think we need to delve into it, at least Sui Qiang can be qualified for this position, do you want us to cry and beg to ask this Mr. Zhang Yi to continue to come back for interviews?" ”
This sentence is also true, no one can offend a colleague because of helping a stranger, which affects the relationship between looking up and not looking down.
Erica's heart snickered at the same time, Sui Qiang's strongest competitor had given up, and this position now seemed to be in the bag, and after that, she used a little means, and Sui Qiang would naturally be able to take up the post with honor.
It's just that as soon as she finished speaking, Katie asked: "The school recruits university teachers, it is to recruit talents, not to recruit related households, this year's board of directors spent a lot of money to invite Mr. Sun Bolun and his team not to play, I think any unfairness is disrespectful to the school, to the board of directors, and to Mr. Sun Bolun and his mecha team, so this matter, I think it is necessary to dig deeper." “
Katie's words were so well-founded that Erica was speechless for a moment.
At this time, Cheng Feng, the school director, finally spoke: "It doesn't make much sense to say these things now, since that's the case, let's choose Sui Qiang." ”
As the school board of directors Cheng Feng's words are naturally very powerful, he came here to escort Erica, now that all the tasks have ended, Cheng Feng naturally stood up, pulled his shirt to make it look neater, and then walked out the door, it seemed that his words were the final ending.
If it were a normal day, no one would have an opinion.
But today is a little different, Zhang Yi's words not long ago were like a scimitar digging into the hearts of everyone, including Katie and the mecha team, so that they would no longer be numb to such things.
So, when Professor Sun Chamberlain spoke, he asked Katie, "Katie, are you the head of the human resources department?" ”
Katie didn't understand the meaning of the sentence at first, but nodded anyway.
"Am I the leader of the mecha teaching group?"
"Of course."
"The human resources department is solely responsible for the recruitment of the school, and the mecha teaching team has a reference suggestion, right?"
Hearing this, Katie still didn't understand, she said, "Of course. ”
"So, let's talk about this matter, the school's administrative director, the school director, don't count, right?"
"Yes."
Speaking of which, Cheng Feng, the school manager who walked to the door, had an extremely ugly face, and Erica's eyes widened even more, looking at the two of them singing together and daring to slap the school director she invited in the face.
Old Professor Sun Bolun nodded with satisfaction at this time: "That's okay, you wait for Mr. Zhang Yi to give him a call in the evening, if he is willing, our mecha team will welcome him to join the company." Saying that, the old guy also raised his eyebrows proudly and commented: "I like his angular personality very much, not bad, not bad." ”
Erica left the table angrily at this time, and walked out of the classroom with Cheng Feng, and Sui Qiang, who had been waiting outside with a burly figure, immediately ran up and asked, "Sister, how is it." ”
Erica really admired the eyesight of her distant relative, and rewarded one word: "Get out." ”
However, this did not end there.
Cheng Feng, the school director whose face was swollen, of course, couldn't watch his face being used as an insole by Katie and Sun Chamberlain, he found the president of Nanke University and showed his little temper.
As a principal, he naturally knows how to weigh his subordinates.
In order to calm down this matter and convince both parties, the principal put forward a very constructive suggestion: "Since you are a mecha teacher, it's very simple, just let the two of them fight a mecha fight, shut up if you lose, and go to work if you win." ”
Erica was naturally complacent when she heard the news, Sui Qiang was a player who had played in the Mecha League, although he had never appeared in the locker room water dispenser all year round, but the Mecha League was the Mecha League, and anyone who came out of here could dominate the amateur mecha fighting arena.
As for Katie's side, she wasn't sure if Zhang Yi would participate in this alternative job competition, so she decided to talk to him in person at night.
…………
At six o'clock, dinner started on time.
The aroma is fragrant, the dishes are beautiful, Zhang Yi and Ning Ning picked up the rice together, and began to sweep the clouds, fifteen minutes later, all the real objects were swept away, and then Zhang Yi patted his stomach, and Ning Ning burped.
After burping, Ning Ning remembered that Zhang Yi was looking for a job today, and asked casually, "Uncle, has the work been successful?" ”
Zhang Yi shook his head and said, "No." There was no sense of loss on his face.
Ning Ning didn't comfort either, just said 'oh', then stood up and started to warm up, digesting and digesting food by the way.
At this time, Zhang Yi's phone rang, which aroused Ning Ning's vigilance, because for so many days, Zhang Yi's phone never seemed to ring, and she unconsciously pricked up her little ears.
Zhang Yi didn't look at the caller ID, but just took the phone casually and put it to his ear, and a somewhat familiar voice came from his ear: "Hello Mr. Zhang Yi, I'm Katie from Nanke University." ”
Zhang Yi is inexplicable, of course he knows that his job will inevitably be lost after leaving the school, why is Katie still calling?
Without waiting for Zhang Yi to answer, Katie continued: "If it's convenient for you now, can we talk?" ”
Zhang Yi finally let out a 'uh' sound and asked, "Convenience is convenience, but ......"
"Can you tell me your address, I'll drive you up now."
Zhang Yi didn't know how to refuse, so he saw Ning Ning come over and pass in a clear voice: "No. 142, Rock Block in the old city, remember to honk when you come, I'll let the uncle go down." ”
Katie, who heard the little girl speak, was not surprised, because the emergency contact in Zhang Yi's file was a little girl who was only fourteen years old, and she vaguely remembered that her name seemed to be Ning Ning.
Katie wrote down the address and replied, "Fifteen minutes." With that, she hung up.
On the other end, Zhang Yi looked at Ning Ning with a busy phone, Ning Ning looked at Zhang Yi and asked: "What do you see, are you really bent, why don't you go to business quickly if you have a beautiful woman." ”
At this point, Zhang Yi had no choice but to compromise, but he felt that it was too embarrassing to be alone with Katie, so he looked at Ning Ning: "Your training task has been changed today, come with me." ”
Ning Ning rose and said, "I'm not going to make a light bulb." ”
Zhang Yi muttered: "The three-stage swing is almost done, but it's not good enough, I'm going to teach you something new." ”
Ning Ning immediately raised her little hand: "I'll go, I'm most happy to be a light bulb." ”
…………
Fifteen minutes later, an open-top hovercar pulled up in the middle of the old neighborhood and honked its horn, attracting the attention of many neighbors.
Zhang Yi, who was holding Ning Ning's little hand, confirmed that the female driver with big sunglasses in the dark was Katie and sat in the co-pilot, Ning Ning consciously opened the rear door, and beckoned to Katie in the front mirror in the car, and greeted Katie with a small hand: "Hi." ”
Katie smiled, "Hello Ningning." This didn't delay her from hitting the accelerator, and the open-top hovercar rushed all the way out of the old neighborhood.
…………
Katie chose to talk to a stylish café on the corner of Liberty City's commercial street.
After Zhang Yi took Ning Ning and her into it, she soon found that there were many young people and more young couples in this old shop.
Katie didn't feel anything, Zhang Yi was very uncomfortable, and Ning Ning began to look around, she had passed by this old shop many times, but it obviously seemed to be extremely high-end and never came in.
After the three of them sat down, Katie was extremely proficient in the list, didn't ask Zhang Yi what she wanted to drink, asked Ning Ning, Ning Ning didn't understand, so she let Katie arrange, and after ordering the drink, she began to say the purpose of her trip here: "I apologize to you on behalf of Nanke University for today's incident." ”
Zhang Yi looked at Katie and waved his hand and said, "I can't stand this apology, it's my own little temperament, you just don't laugh." ”
Katie smiled slightly: "In the end, the school decided to decide in the form of mecha fighting between the two of you, are you interested?" “
Zhang Yi shook his head and said categorically: "No." ”
Katie knew that this matter could not be discussed on the phone, and seeing that Zhang Yi was really like this, she immediately felt that it was the most correct decision for her to come here and have a noodle stall with him, and she asked, "Why not?" Don't you want this job? ”
Zhang Yi still replied simply: "I thought about it before, but I don't want to it now." ”
Katie, who still didn't give up, continued to ask: "Why did you think about it before?" ”
Zhang Yi had nothing to hide, and said honestly: "Well, because I want to give Ning Ning a better life." ”
Ning Ning looked at her uncle with wide eyes at this time, only to know that Zhang Yi was looking for a job for herself, and the familiar warm current flowed in her body again, and she grinned.
Katie looked at Ning Ning and continued to ask incomprehensibly, "Then why don't you fight for it now?" ”
Zhang Yi rolled his eyes, but did not answer the question, but said: "Katie, this is very complicated to say, and I am not an easy person to be convinced, unless you can give me a reason why I have to go." ”
"Does that make me think for five minutes?" Katie asked earnestly.
Zhang Yi nodded, and at this time, the conversation seemed to have quickly progressed to the end, and the drink that Katie had just ordered had just been served.
took a cup of coffee casually, Zhang Yi took a sip, looked at Katie, who was exactly the same as his ex-wife in front of him, listened to the melodious piano music, and felt that the strong love in the store seemed to have been transmitted to the air, he was a little awkward.
Ning Ning honestly drank her milkshake with a straw, she also noticed Zhang Yi's awkwardness, and felt more and more that the uncle was really interested in this beautiful aunt?
Katie didn't wait for five minutes before she spoke, giving the only reason she could think of: "Because after you leave, I'll argue with Professor Sun Bolun of the mecha team, if you don't participate, we'll be embarrassed." ”
Hearing this reason, Zhang Yi blinked, put down the coffee, and replied, "Okay." ”
"Uh, uncle, didn't you say you're hard to be convinced?" Ning Ning opened her mouth for the first time and protested.
Zhang Yi didn't seem to hear this, he said, "But I only have one request." “
"You say." Katie responded.
"In the future, we will become colleagues, and you better not bring me to this kind of place ......."
