Waking up from the nightmare, it was three o'clock in the morning again.

For as long as I can remember, every night I would have the same strange dream, dreaming of a rich man's old lady who was happy with her birthday, and many people went to her house to celebrate her birthday, but they all died at the birthday banquet without explanation, and there was a strange coffin in the dream, and the corpses of the dead were strange, and blood was flowing everywhere.

The final scene freezes in a huge wooden cage, in which a young woman, dressed in a long black dress, holding the cage fence with both hands, is standing against me, her eyes closed, her face haggard, and her expression of indescribable grief. Every time I involuntarily reached out and tried to open the cage door to rescue her, suddenly a creepy elephant roar came from behind, scaring me from my sleep.

I went to the bathroom to take a cold shower, lay on the bed and covered my head with a pillow, and was about to sleep peacefully and suppress the shock, when I heard a rapid knock on the door, with great force, rare in my life; Knocking on the bedroom door was like beating a drum, startling me. Before I could get up, the door was pushed open, and a strong man of more than one meter and eight meters came in, who else could there be except my roommate Ah Niu.

When I was a child, my parents were busy doing business, and left me in the countryside to let my grandparents help take care of me, Ah Niu is a child of the same village, a few months younger than me, and I met when I was bare on the tree and picked out bird eggs. From wearing open crotch pants to going back to the county seat to study, they all walked shoulder to shoulder.

Later, I was admitted to a university in a neighboring province and went to Anhui; Ah Niu chose to stay in the county to work, which can be regarded as separation; After spending four years of time and staying up until graduation, my heart is higher than the sky, and I want to do a career in other places and then go home. My uncle is a market development manager of a foreign feed company, and he needs to develop the market wherever he is, where the home is placed, when I went to school, he just bought a house in Anhui, and when I graduated, he went to Shandong to be busy with business. It just so happened that the house in Hefei had not been sold, and I was also interested in going to Hefei to develop, so I temporarily settled in my uncle's house.

Only when I entered the society did I understand that the counselor said that the graduates' hearts are higher than the sky, and the life is thinner than paper, and they are not at all wrong when the salary is low, and they are willing to give a high salary to a resume just graduated, and they all take you as a burden, and they don't want you at all, and their parents have such a big hope for themselves to go to college, where do they still have the face to ask for money at home after graduation, and shout all day long before graduation that they are self-reliant and self-reliant, and they are really self-reliant before they know how difficult it is to survive.

A Niu called Ah Niu a while ago, and talked about the hard work and hard money to earn, Ah Niu told me that he quit his job in the county and wanted to go to the big city to take a look and find a job that could earn a few more money. I thought Ah Niu was going to make more money to please a daughter-in-law, but I didn't think much about it. Thinking about coming to the big city to work, if you can save the rent, it will be a lot of profit in itself, and it happens that Uncle's house is also big, and if Ah Niu is willing to come over, I will have many companions. Just discussed with Ah Niuyi, and he readily agreed, as soon as the train ticket was bought, he moved in with me the next day with a bedding roll.

Originally, I was unemployed at home alone, but when Ah Niu came, the situation changed greatly, and I instantly became two unemployed vagrants. The two of them got together in a small way, and there was no nonsense in the world.

When it came to the job, I naturally couldn't be weak in front of Ah Niu, so I opened it and said that there are too many unemployed groups now, and the state can't take care of it, and people like me, who were born under the red flag and bathed in the spring breeze, always put the interests of the people in the first place. As a Young Pioneer, I was afraid that I would find a good job and make it impossible for those who needed it more to survive, and cause a greater burden on the country, and the bright red scarf on my chest forced me to give up the idea of looking for a job again and again. Ah Niu is honest and upright, and he actually believes it to be true; Listening to it, he smacked his lips, and even sighed that the consciousness of people who went to college is really high, and they all sacrifice themselves like his mother Dong Cunrui.

Neither of them is a master who will save money, even after a few days of the restaurant, the beer blown down the bottle can fill a small swimming pool, when the wine wakes up and touches the pocket, how flat and how flat, and is about to face the situation that they can't afford to eat, so they panicked to look for a job everywhere, but the resume was cast one after another, and there was no echo like a mud cow entering the sea.

Rubbing my eyes and turning on the light, I saw Ah Niu dressed neatly, standing in front of the bed stupidly, I wondered if I didn't drink last night, what kind of nerves was this stupid cow in the middle of the night.

Before I could organize the language in my head, I gave Ah Niu a heart-to-heart oral education; I heard Ah Niu tear up his voice and urge me: "Brother Wang, don't sleep, get up and go to the job fair." "I threw my clothes and pants hanging on the hanger onto the bed.

I said what time it was, and I couldn't apply for a job in the middle of the night to see the ghost. Ah Niu said that he checked on the Internet, and the job fair was from 8 to 12 o'clock, and if he went late, he might not even be able to enter the inside, and many people were queuing up in the middle of the night to wait for the job fair to start. Brother Wang, you are so good, you must not worry about not having a job, I guess it will be difficult, go to the queue early to see more, maybe you can find a job that makes a lot of money.

I thought to myself that I wanted to be really good senior employers who had already been signed away when they came to our school to sign people, and I still used to run what job fairs, and it was not that my head was lacking roots, and I really thought that Hefei was full of gold to run to seek a way to make money. The front foot chose a mining project, and the back foot coal market began to fall all the way: first in response to the country's call to rectify the air and reduce haze, a large number of coal-using enterprises collapsed, and a large number of coal-using enterprises were transformed, and with the rise of the RMB exchange rate, with low shipping costs, imported coal also occupied enough market in the country, 80% of large coal enterprises were negatively profitable, and they were also mud bodhisattvas crossing the river. Graduates like us have to face the embarrassing situation of being unemployed as soon as they graduate.

But in front of Ah Niu, he definitely couldn't say this, so he gave him encouragement at the time, saying that the current company lacks people like you, who are tall and honest, and if you don't say anything else, just go there and stand there, which makes people feel more reliable.

Do a good job of Ah Niu's mobilization work, get out of bed and wash up, and don't bother to cook, ready to wait until the building is nearby to see the situation and eat casually. I went out in the dark, and my uncle's house was only a few streets away from the Talent Building, and it was almost half past four when I got there.

Although it was not yet dawn, there was a long queue at the entrance of the building, and the buses had not yet gone to work, and I didn't know how these people came. Looking at such a long line, I didn't have the idea of eating, and stood next to the people at the end of the line, killing time with Ah Niu without saying a word.

When it was more than seven o'clock, I don't know where a middle-aged man wearing big sunglasses came, with a square frame and a medium build, who moved a table, and placed it in the open space on the right in front of the door, and pulled a chair, and hung a big plastic sign with a white background in front of the table: Historical investigation, male recruitment is restricted. Money is less and more things are more, and people are stupid. After hanging the sign, the person hooked his head and leaned on the table to read the magazine, and he didn't look like he was going to recruit people at all.

I turned my head and pointed to the big sunglasses and complained to Ah Niu: "Look at this person, the old social habits on his body have not been blown clean by the spring breeze of reform and opening up, and he has been corroded to the bone by all evil capitalism. The eyes of the people are bright, and if this grandson recruits someone, I will twist my head off and kick it as a ball. ”

Ah Niu nodded again and again when he listened, and echoed: "Look at this person who wears sunglasses early in the morning, he doesn't look like a good person, I heard people say that it only costs a few hundred yuan to set up a recruitment booth in the building, this old boy is reluctant to pay this money, and it is estimated that he will not be able to take care of his food." “

Just as he was saying bad things about the big sunglasses, the team suddenly moved, and it turned out that the door of the building had been opened. I didn't have time to see what the recruitment information was on the door on the left side of the building, and people were squeezed into the door with the wave.

The recruitment counter walked one after another, the resumes were submitted one after another, and the thirty or forty booths were about to walk around us, but we couldn't find a reliable job. Finally walked to the last booth, and there was a girl sitting at the front desk with light makeup and a professional dress.

I shuddered and handed over my resume, thinking to myself that if you accept my resume, I will definitely push the Bodhisattva statue at home when I turn around, and then hang your big head on the incense every day to worship.

But this big girl was not born a bodhisattva, flipped through her resume, and said to me professionally: "I'm sorry sir, although your conditions are very in line with our requirements, we hope to have a person with many years of practical ability to lead us to make breakthroughs at all levels in this field, if we fail to recruit this kind of talent, you will be the first person we consider recruiting." ”

As he spoke, he gave me back his resume. I thought to myself, isn't this a calf playing with me, and I fooled that I was the first person to consider recruiting, and my resume was returned, and I didn't leave a mobile phone number, how can you contact me if you really think about it? But I feel that at least this girl knows how to take care of my feelings, and is worthy of the idea that I was just about to hang her on the wall.

Ah Niu also passed all the way, easily accompanied me to the end, and when the two of us walked out of the talent building dejectedly, it was almost eleven o'clock.

I was thinking about where to go to have a meal first, and then try my luck somewhere else in the afternoon, and saw that the big sunglasses were still sitting leisurely at the door reading the magazine, and I glanced at the past or a photo magazine.

Ah Niu elbowed me with his arm, leaned into my ear and whispered, "Brother Wang, I think we should come here and ask?" "I thought that it was not a matter to be idle every day, the most important thing is that we are both penniless masters now, and it is really difficult to pick and choose, so we can first consider working under the skinning for a few days this week to eat.

Walking up to the big sunglasses, the grandson was looking at the photo, and he didn't feel that anyone was standing in front of him at all, I coughed, leaned closer and said, "Master, apply." ”
