2. The first job is to be the "shadow" of others

In 2008, I took my diploma and left the university campus.

That year, Beijing hosted the Olympic Games for the first time, and I don't know how many Chinese faces appeared, but it made me, a stunned boy who was a fledgling and had basically zero social experience, taste the taste of closed-door soup.

At the end of 2007, I began to run to the job fairs in Beijing, whether it was the "double selection fair" organized by the major universities in Beijing, or the special job fairs held at the International Exhibition Center, the talent market, etc., I would run to participate with great interest, and send out resumes full of backpacks one by one.

A third-rate university graduate who has never entered the student union, has no special skills, has mediocre grades, and has a sweet mouth, is sandwiched between a group of graduates from prestigious universities, masters, doctors, and turtles, and grabs those positions that may actually be less than those listed, and he also wants to pick and choose, and the results can be imagined.

Of course, not all resumes sent out are lost in the sea and are not heard from at all. For example, some "intermediary" companies under the guise of a talent market have taken the initiative to call me many times, "shushing the cold and asking for warmth" and tirelessly. Seriously, if I had really had money at the time, I would have liked to pay them some advice. It's not easy for anyone, is it?

When you're busy and stressful, time flies. Eventually, as the years passed, I lost the opportunity to sign a contract with an employer before I graduated, and I no longer had to think about issues that I had no hope of looking forward to, such as the relocation of my hukou.

Thanks to the Olympic Games in Beijing, I can spend a "summer vacation" at home with nothing to do after graduation.

It wasn't until the beginning of September that I was "lucky" to officially "station" in Beijing and become a member of the ant army. With the help of a distant relative, I finally found a boarding house in the East Fourth Ring Road and lived there.

missed the golden season of job hunting, and the "happy work" after "settling down" naturally did not go well. After feeling "stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to find" for another month and a half, I finally wanted to open it.

I kicked all the "principles" I had set before into the clouds, no longer considering the size of the company, the prospects of the industry, the content of the job, the treatment and other factors, and lowered the standard to "just give money". Of course, you may not be able to walk at home, and there are many people waiting to support their families, so why should they fall in love with you.

Fate is a very strange thing, when you are desperate to pursue something, it will do everything possible to prevent you from getting your way; But when you have decided to give up completely, it will be handed over to you and tempted you.

When I was ready to go to the construction site to grab the jobs of migrant workers, I suddenly received a call from a company. It was a young woman who called me with a nice voice, like a real TV presenter. However, after she told me the name of the company, the little hope that had just been ignited in my heart was trampled by myself again.

The one who called me was actually "Totodi Information Service Co., Ltd."!

This company is a star enterprise that claims to be able to provide a full range of information services for any enterprise and individual! Its operating profit in 2007 has reached ten figures, and it is a well-deserved hegemon in the industry. Although I was only called by a branch of the company in Chaoyang District, Beijing, not the headquarters. But that's enough to shock me! I'm not stupid, I know how many pounds and taels I have, and it stands to reason that I shouldn't appear in the talent pool of this kind of company, including the candidate class.

I don't even remember when and how I submitted my resume to this company!

I'm almost 100% sure that the other party is mistaken! The Mr. Tang she was looking for wasn't me. So, I brought the microphone closer to my lips and cautiously asked, "Did you make the wrong call?" ”

The other party laughed: "How could I be mistaken! Aren't you called Tang Sanzang (zàng)? ”

"My name is Tang Sanzang (cáng)", I swallowed a mouthful of spittle and tried to correct, "It's not that Tang monk's Sanzang (zàng)!" ”

"I don't care what your name was before, if you want to come to our company, then you have to call Tang Sanzang (zàng)! You have to hurry up and bring me your mispronunciation. Her tone was overbearing.

"But...... "I was a little unwilling, but I couldn't decide whether to refute it." After all, that's what my name can call that. And it seems, after so many years, there is nothing wrong with it.

"Nothing good. Let me ask you one more question, are you still a virgin? ”

"This ......" The interview question of this company is really weird, I scratched my head and tried to keep my composure, "It seems to be personal privacy, can I not answer it?" ”

"Oh? So shy, then it should still be. There was a wicked laugh on the other end of the line, "It's just a side question, you don't have to answer it, haha!" ”

"Can you please remind me what my position is?" My forehead started to sweat, even though the weather had cooled down and the clothes I had on me weren't thick, just a thin jacket.

"What do you think you can do?" The other party's tone suddenly changed again, obviously discriminatory.

"I ...... I don't know", my heart was completely cold, it turned out to be a malicious joke.

"Isn't this the end of it? Remember in the future, don't ask what you shouldn't! The monthly basic salary is 10,000 yuan, and the business commission is calculated separately; Five insurances and one housing fund are paid in full, and there are generous bonuses at the end of the year. Are you coming? The other party suddenly raised his voice, looking a little impatient.

"I'm coming, I'm coming!" No one has trouble with money, especially me who is about to run out of ammunition. Besides, the salary has far exceeded my expectations, and a fool would say yes to why should I refuse.

"Report for duty today Friday, next Monday, no problem, right?"

"No problem, no problem for me", I hurriedly agreed. And that's it? No longer need to go to the company for written exams and interviews? This is not the same as the hiring process of a large company as I understand it.

"Remember to go and buy a few sets of decent clothes on the weekend, especially suits and shirts! The company has high requirements for the image of employees. ”

"I know that! But ......"

"Don't forget to bring your ID card and graduation certificate! The address of the company, I will send it to your mobile phone in a moment. The other party ignored me, but continued to finish his words like a machine gun.

"Okay, thank you!" I didn't know what to say, for fear of annoying the other party and making her change her mind.

Smack, the other party hung up the phone.

My first job was inexplicably and super "smooth". It's been a long time since I put down the phone, and I'm still in a trance, and I can't believe it's all true.

Because of the apprehension in my heart, I spent three nights in a row in nightmares.

The office building is very magnificent, and the people who come and go seem to belong to the kind of cultural people who have both temperament and politeness, which makes me even more nervous, and I am basically in a state where others tell me to do whatever I want.

When I signed a thick and long labor contract under the "guidance" of the company's personnel, Xiao Zhang, the administrative clerk, led me to the manager's office.

The manager and secretary were not there. Xiao Zhang pointed to the luxurious desk inside, and said to me, "Your place is there!" ”

"Huh?" I was completely stupid, "Such a big table...... Too extravagant, right? ”

"What do you think? That table belongs to the manager", Xiao Zhang glared at me with her beautiful Danfeng eyes, "You only need an office chair, right next to the manager!" ”

"And what is my position?" I'm a little puzzled, I don't have a desk, and I have to sit next to the manager, is it the legendary Xiaomi? But my qualifications shouldn't be qualified, right? Unless...... What quirks this manager has.

Thinking about this, I couldn't help but shudder.

"You'll know right away, let's go through the formalities with me first!" Xiao Zhang didn't notice the change in my expression, and walked in front of him.

"Bodyguards? Are you mistaken? "I was really dumbfounded when I saw the badge handed over by Xiao Zhang. As a gentleman who has been a man of his mouth for more than 20 years, I don't think I have the potential to do this business, whether it is beating people or being beaten, it is not my strength. As for being like Jet Li in Zhongnanhai's bodyguard, blocking bullets for others has never even appeared in my dreams.

"Bring your badge with you. Don't lose it, you'll be fined! "Xiao Zhang didn't intend to answer my question at all, she was only in charge of administrative affairs, and she was too lazy to take care of personnel matters, and it was not her turn to worry.

Since the manager was not there, it was inconvenient for me to stay alone in the office, so I had to go to the reception room next to the front desk, find the company's internal periodicals, and pretend to read them. Of course, I will also go to the front desk from time to time to enjoy the comfortable feeling of chatting face-to-face with the little beauty, and by the way, I will inquire about the company's situation.

The manager of this company is named Ma Xin, a veteran of the head office, 48 years old this year, just in time for the birth year. I heard that not long ago, Manager Ma's health was in a certain condition, so he went to the headquarters to find a master Zhao Tianshi to calculate a hexagram for himself, saying that he wanted to find a person with the word "Sanzang" in his name, who was short of water and belonged to a tiger, to help him eliminate disasters and prevent disasters......

Speaking of this, Xiao Liu at the front desk couldn't help but cover his mouth and smile: "It seems that you are the legendary Tang Sanzang?" ”

"This, in fact, I ......" I was about to say that I pronounced the word cáng, but suddenly remembered the woman's advice on the phone, so I had to swallow the second half of the sentence back.

"I know", Xiao Liu's smile became stronger, "You're still a virgin, right?" ”

"It's good to be a virgin, and the purer the person, the more suitable for this job." The loud voice suddenly sounded from behind her, the smile on Xiao Liu's face disappeared suddenly, she looked behind me, and shouted timidly: "Hello manager!" ”

I hurriedly turned around and saw a smiling face full of Chinese characters.

"Don Jr., huh? I'm Ma Xin! The national character face had already walked quickly in front of me and stretched out his hand......

The content of my work was personally and personally told by Manager Ma, in his, no, should I say our office.

Manager Ma said, my so-called "bodyguard" work, to put it bluntly, is to be his shadow, and it is best to be able to stay with him at any time and on any occasion, including when he is eating, drinking, and sleeping. Of course, he will also pay me overtime for the extra "working hours" in accordance with national regulations.

Regardless of whether I believe in pie in the sky or not, in the face of the powerful temptation of a considerable amount of "overtime" wages, I finally agreed to be his 24-hour follower, shadow "bodyguard".

What shocked me even more was yet to come.

After receiving my verbal solemn promise, Manager Ma actually took out all his personal accessories and put them on for me personally, including gold necklaces, jade wrenches, brand-name watches, and even house keys. Of course, I don't need him to emphasize it, but I also know that these things are only temporarily "stored" on me.

As a "shadow", it's okay to "eat, drink, and Lazar" together, and you can get used to it after getting used to it. But two big men, sleeping in the same bed, I'm not used to it, and he is not used to it.

In the end, he thought of a cruel trick, found a beautiful woman, sandwiched between us, the three of us shared the same bed, and slept under the big quilt.

With his current status, the beauties he greeted are naturally genuine beauties with both appearance and figure. Wearing so little and lying so close, isn't this deliberately making me insomnia?

Manager Ma has already "taken care" of my feelings, and every time it is after I have "fallen asleep", he goes to the floor with the beautiful woman and tries not to make a big noise.

But in that case, to say that I don't feel anything at all, do you believe me?

Manager Ma also once pretended to be generous and invited me to share the beauty, or simply called the two over, but I refused. It's not that I don't like beautiful women, it's just that the tradition in my bones tells me that some things, at least in the very beginning, can't be casual. In addition, when it is not clear what the specific role of my shadow is, this virgin state, maybe it is still a talisman of mine, how can it be easily destroyed?

It is estimated that Manager Ma also had the same thoughts, so when I clearly refused, he didn't mention it anymore.
