Chapter 60: Eisen? Bird's turnaround
"Hello, yes, yes, I'm Eisen, I saw the job posting in the newspaper that you posted, the one who was looking for a banquet assistant. What, it's already full? Oh, thanks, so do you have any other positions you need to ...... Hey, hey! Eisen shouted into the phone, but the busy sound from the phone was obviously not a bad signal, but that the other party had hung up the phone.
Putting down the phone, Eisen only felt that all the strength had left him. His clothes were damp in the drizzle of the streets of New York, and the tips of his hair were dripping, but he was in no mood to wipe them.
After sitting weakly for a while, Eisen took the newspaper in his hand and continued to look for the phone number that had not yet been dialed in the recruitment page. Expecting a miracle to appear in front of me......
But without exception......
Damn deflation, damn fiscal crisis, damn layoff plans, these things mess everything up! Eisen cursed the injustice of the government in his own heart, but he was completely powerless to resist.
Before he knew it, the time had come to the afternoon, and Eisen, who had not eaten anything during the day, only felt a burst of hunger.
Maybe...... It's time to go home.
Returning home with heavy footsteps, the original dullness and gloom on Eisen's face were instantly swept away, and a relaxed smile was replaced. Opening the door, a small ghost rushed over.
"Oh, my little darling." Picking up the lovely daughter, Eisen wiped her delicate little face with the beard residue on his face with a smile on his face, and the itching and happiness made the daughter who didn't know the difficulties of the world laugh heartily.
"How's the work?" The gentle wife stepped forward to help him take off his wet coat and hang it on the hanger.
"Oh, it's okay." Eisen said with a smile on his face: "There is no trouble, everything is very smooth." ”
"By the way, where's your watch?" The wife suddenly said suspiciously.
In the face of his wife's suspicious eyes, there was a slight panic in Eisen's eyes, but he quickly reacted.
"Oh, I don't know, maybe I left it somewhere, maybe it fell in the office, forget it, I'll go get it back tomorrow." Eisen said with a smile, but he knew in his heart that the watch would not come back, he gave a valuable Rolex pawn to the pawn shop, and in order to get as much money as possible, he chose to die.
He hadn't been to work for six months.
The damned layoffs caused by the economic austerity cost him a decent job on Wall Street, and Geng lost his financial resources. When a person reaches middle age, he really encounters a midlife crisis. What's even more terrifying is that the wives and children who are used to spending lavishly don't know the news.
He didn't dare to let them know, because it would probably wipe out the family under the burden. With no income, he had to rely on his credit card to pay his bills, including the damn mortgage. And his cute little angel, Pandiani, who has a congenital respiratory disease that plagues this angel who has never been tainted with sin, is like a joke of God, and he has to pay a lot of money in order to pay for Pandiani's medical bills.
Now this is even worse.
He has maxed out all his credit cards, and even the one shared by his husband and wife is almost at the limit, and he can't last long. What's even more terrifying is that he doesn't dare to show the slightest flaw in front of his family, but even so, he can't support it for long.
He didn't think he would get to such a situation......
He just needs to find a new job.
As long as he has a job, he can get out of this situation, no matter what kind of job it is.
The family's dinner was very warm, and the wife did not suspect it, because Eisen disguised it well enough. And the daughter is far from being sensible.
"Oh, my little angel, what are you drawing? Is this a giraffe? Eisen looked at his daughter with a smile on his face, and asked as he pointed to a strange creature with a long neck on the drawing board that she wouldn't even put down to eat.
"It's a horse!"
"Oh, horses, of course, I know." Eisen smiled and touched Pandiani's fluffy hair: "The painting is very beautiful, very cute." ”
This life is the reality that belongs to Eisen, and it is also an illusory dream that belongs to Eisen. He is willing to pay any price to keep the family going. But now, it has almost reached the point where even if you give everything, you can't even have a little luxury.
Eisen's heart was full of painful despair, but his face still had to be full of smiles and confidence, otherwise his wife, who had been with him day and night, would definitely find out about his abnormality.
At this moment, the mobile phone rang suddenly. Eisen pulled his phone out of his waistband, and it was an unfamiliar number that he had never seen before. The strange call made a little inexplicable hope rise in Eisen's heart, perhaps......
"Sorry, I'll answer the phone first." Apologetically to his wife, Eisen walked out of the dining room and carefully closed the door to avoid his communication with the phone being seen by his wife and daughter.
"Hello, are you Eisen? Mr. Bird? The voice on the other end of the phone was unexpectedly young, and Eisen couldn't help but be disappointed by this youth.
"Yes, I am." Eisen tried to keep his voice a little quiet, so that he did not appear so eager, and at the same time secretly prayed in his heart to the merciful God, praying that he, who had always been merciful, would give his struggling lamb hope of escaping hell.
"Well, BA master's degree, graduated from USC, after graduation has 21 years of work experience on Wall Street, once worked as a trader for a short time, lost his job on Wall Street six months ago and was saddled with a lot of debts and disputes because of his work, it seems that your operation methods are a bit ...... Issue. ”
"Wait, you see...... It was actually a misunderstanding, and I had already paid off all those debts. Eisen felt a wave of fear in his heart, and couldn't help but try to explain: "I'm just ...... now"
"I don't care about Eisen? Mr. Bird. "The young over-the-top voice seems to be a little impatient, Eisen? Bird immediately stopped, not daring to continue.
"I'm not interested in your past, but I do need a little help now, and you need a job." The young voice on the other end of the phone said lightly, "If you want to get a job to change your embarrassment of making ends meet, just fly to Cleveland, and you can call me at that time." ”
