Chapter 5 The Ordinary Daily Life of Urban Management Interns (Part I)
While it was cool in Ukraine in September, the heat in the far south of China was still unscathed.
The tyrannical heat wave scorched the land as always, and there was no cool autumn breeze in the streets and alleys.
Wearing a sun hat and a white T-shirt, Wang Qiu walked into the university campus sweating profusely under the scorching sun.
For his major in Chinese, after entering the fourth year of college, the main content is only to find a job for an internship - except for Zuihou's graduation thesis defense, there are basically no courses to take.
So, after the end of the junior year, except for those who failed the course last semester to make up for the exam, or those whose internship location is near the school. Most of the students have already moved out of their dormitories, left the campus, and even left the city, and occasionally have to call for anything.
However, in September, when the school year begins, everyone still has to come to the school to report and meet, and go through some procedures with the school teachers.
Sitting in a sweltering classroom, Wang Qiu kept wiping his sweat with a handkerchief while drowsily, barely pricking up his ears, listening to the young head teacher with a mustache spitting on the podium about various precautions during the senior internship.
In the stuffy classroom without air conditioning, although the ceiling fan overhead is spinning at full speed, the atmosphere is still as anxious as the room temperature. Almost half of the class asked for leave and didn't show up. The rest of the students weren't playing with handhelds and flipping through magazines. is to lower his voice and talk on his mobile phone, or doze off groggyly, as if he can't wait for the head teacher to finish his speech quickly.
Alas, as always, an ordinary life! However, isn't this how every ordinary college student comes over?
Since ending his adventures in the Aztec Empire in Central America in the sixteenth century, Wang Qiu's life seems to have reverted to the ordinary routine of the past.
The extra-daily encounters that were extremely exciting and that ordinary people could not experience in their lifetime have become memories at this time.
For Wang Qiu, after all the adventures and bad luck were over, there was only a wonderful feeling of fullness and exhaustion.
Well. How do you have the subtle feeling of being the main character of a Japanese anime?
ββIn most Japanese anime works, those magical girls who save Shijie, high school witches who slay demons, and hot-blooded young magicians who are in the explosion of adolescence. No matter what earth-shattering things they do at night and on holidays, defeat a few demon kings, or save a few planets, they still have to go to school obediently during the day from Monday to Friday...... At most, I skipped a few classes occasionally.
Damn, it's absolutely unscientific!
Fortunately, Wang Qiu's campus career was basically over before he really stepped into that extraordinary and strange shijie - although theoretically speaking, Wang Qiu was still a student at this time, and it seemed that he still had a year to study. But actually...... Well, everybody understands......
Sighing, Wang Qiu looked around the familiar classroom with some nostalgia, as well as the students around him who were about to leave.
Before coming back next year to write their graduation thesis, this is probably the first time they have sat in the classroom.
ββ¦β¦ Hey, hey! Brother Wang, you've been doing well in the chengguan team lately, right?! Is there any hope of being retained? β
Just when Wang Qiu was in a trance, a classmate wearing a red hat and a yellow uniform suddenly came over and whispered to him.
ββ¦β¦ Oh, it's Fat Hu! Long time no see! I've been doing well lately, as for retention...... Don't you think that's too early to ask? ββ¦,
After recognizing people with sleepy eyes. Wang Qiu rolled his eyes, sighed, and said with an infinitely complicated expression.
Hu Fatzi, whose full name is Hu Jingshui, weighs more than 200 pounds. I was a classmate with Wang Qiu in high school, and after I went to college, I entered the same class in the same department. The friendship is not bad. When Wang Qiu entered the Chengguan Dog Management Center for an internship in the summer of this year, Hu Fatzi found an internship with a courier company through the school...... And then I didn't touch it for almost the whole summer.
-- Just as the class teacher laughed at himself at the beginning of the school year, "Our college students in the Chinese Department are a brick of the socialist motherland, and they will move wherever they are needed." "Due to today's global economic downturn, it is difficult to find jobs, and even interns are obviously in oversupply, Wang Qiu's internship units for the Chinese students are really strange, and there are very few guys who can sit in the office to do secretarial work...... I just don't know if anyone has gone to the mountains and old forests to be a hunter.
ββ¦β¦ Hehe, others may not be sure, but you are a famous battle hero! If an exemplary pioneer like you refuses to be retained, the leader of the chengguan team is too idiot! Fat Hu smiled and patted Wang Qiu's shoulder, "...... Don't be modest, Wang Qiu! I've seen your brilliant achievements in the newspapers! The leaders of the city have been specially commended! Brother Wang, you are really powerful! β
After listening to Hu Fatzi's compliment, Wang Qiu was stunned for a few seconds, and his mind turned several times before he remembered that the other party was talking about the first day of his internship, the lone swing of the stick to fight the group of dogs, Zuihou was carried into the hospital with bruises all over his body, and was commended as a "dog fighting hero" for the tragic and vicious fight.
Alas, speaking of which, the fierce battle of one person VS more than a dozen wild dogs, earth-shattering, and crying ghosts and gods seems to have happened more than two months ago.
It stands to reason that if this kind of thing happened to ordinary people, it should be regarded as a glorious deed worth boasting about for several years.
But the problem is that he is slaying dragons and conquering Central America next, and he has already thrown this "little thing" out of the clouds.
Sure enough, the experience of traveling through the other world is so exciting that you forget this relatively "bland" past?
Hu Fatty! Don't look at me so adoringly. What if I told you the truth. Not long ago, I slaughtered a red dragon even more violently. I don't know what you would think if you drove ten trucks without a license and ran over dozens of people, and were worshiped as gods by millions of natives?
Wang Qiu continued to sigh in a tangled mood, and looked up at the sky boredly, while at the same time perfunctorily, "...... It's okay! At that time, I didn't think about it so much, I saw more than a dozen dogs pounce on me, but I didn't want to fight hard......"
ββ¦β¦ But there's one thing that's weird! The day before yesterday, I happened to go to the Chengguan Building to deliver a courier, and I originally wanted to chat with you, the dog-fighting hero, by the way, but I went around everywhere. None of them were able to find you...... Where is your usual office? β
Regarding this question, Wang Qiu could only continue to look at the sky speechlessly.
β¦β¦ This one...... I can tell you that because of our work mistakes, not only did we lose the central leadership of the State Council. It has also made a large amount of fixed asset investment in the country go down the drain, and now it is in a state of suspension for reflection and waiting for investigation?
Of course, if you want to find an excuse to perfunctory the fat man, it's still very easy.
ββ¦β¦ Alas, don't mention it, our direct supervisor poked out a big basket, causing the entire office to be suspended for reflection, and I, an intern, were also unlucky, and I was suspended without pay......" Wang Qiu replied casually without thinking about it--in fact. And that's really the case at the moment. β¦,
However, in the ears of the fat man who doesn't know the inside story, this situation seems a little strange.
ββ¦β¦ Leave without pay? Where do interns get paid?! This is clearly giving you a holiday! Didn't you get another position? β
Fat Hu first glanced at him in surprise, and then sighed sympathetically, "...... Alas, in this way, it is easy to be easy, but if you want to be retained, I am afraid that it will be dangerous...... It's hard to find a job these days! Why did you end up with such a pit leader? β
ββ¦β¦ Don't talk about me, tell me about yourself! Wang Qiu hurriedly diverted the topic. β¦β¦ How was the summer at the courier company? β
ββ¦β¦ What else? Mess around over there! But there's a free lunch to rub in. β
Fat Hu stretched out a little boredly, and then changed the topic again, "...... By the way, after returning to school, did you go to the anime club? Several students from the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Fine Arts. This summer, I came up with a great new work, and I even won the grand prize in Shanghai! β
ββ¦β¦ Oh? The anime club has a new work? "Wang Qiu, who had been drowsy. Hearing this, he suddenly felt a little energetic, "...... What's the content? β
ββ¦β¦ It is a national anthropomorphic modern historical propaganda animation, "The Promise of the White Birch Forest", and then it has undergone some original processing. β
Hu Fatzi said with a grin, and at the same time as if showing off, he took out a tablet, then opened a string of folders, and called up a video file, "...... I've copied the animation files from their computer, and you see, the graphics and background music are pretty good. β
-- With a melancholy tune full of Russian style, the dark picture gradually brightens, and the red curtain slowly opens from the center.
In the background is a vast birch forest, with golden leaves swirling in the autumn breeze and warm sunlight falling on the earth.
An old-looking hairy bear with a sickle and hammer on his chest lazily lies lazily under a tall birch tree basking in the sun, and next to him sits a rabbit with a teapot and a teacup in his hand, a green military cap on his head, and a red five-star rabbit on his chest.
In this anime that personifies the country, they represent the Soviet Union and China, respectively.
Hairy Bear (dimly opens his eyes): "...... Alas? Where am I? β
Rabbit (turns his head to look): "...... Big brother, you're awake! This is your favorite birch forest! β
Hairy Bear (groggily opening): "...... Is it just you? What about the others? β
Rabbit (averts the sight of the furry bear and passes over the teacup): "...... Something is gone. Come, big brother, drink tea ......" (note: upheaval in Eastern Europe)
Hairy Bear (shuddering as he takes the teacup): "...... Oh, xiexie......"
Rabbit: "...... Alas, since I had an awkward relationship with my eldest brother, I haven't sat together like this for a long time! (Note: Normalization of Sino-Soviet relations)
Hairy Bear (rolling his eyelids weakly): "...... Hmmm......"
Rabbit (scratching his head in embarrassment): "...... Actually, I sometimes think that if I were the eldest brother, maybe some things would have been better. So often contradict you, big brother! hahaha......"
Hairy Bear (a little brace up, squinting β_β): "...... You were the most uneasy thing for me to do at the beginning! β
Rabbit: "...... Ah, but if I didn't have my big brother, I would have a lot of important things that I couldn't learn......"
Hairy Bear (narrows his eyes, mutters to himself, doesn't pay attention to it at all): "...... Yes! Is it autumn? There are fewer people, and the tea cools quickly! β
Rabbit: "...... Therefore, my words to my eldest brother should actually be regarded as a love-hate relationship! ββ¦,
- Although the rabbit was still babbling something, the exhausted furry bear no longer had the strength to listen.
It tried to bring the teacup to its mouth again, but the arm (bear's paw?) It was already unable to hang down, and the teacup slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.
Hairy Bear (vision blurring): "...... Ah, I love the comfortable wind...... I like it so much...... This birch forest ......"
The figure of the furry bear vanished from under the birch tree, leaving only an overturned teacup and a broken sickle and hammer. (The collapse of the Soviet Union, the red flag fell to the ground)
Rabbit: "...... Big brother, wait until next fall......"
--The rabbit turned his head and froze when he saw that the bear's position was empty, except for the overturned teacups and broken sickles and hammers on the ground.
At this time, in the birch forest, except for the lonely figure of the rabbit, there is only boundless silence and the rustle of the autumn wind through the leaves.
Rabbit (rubbing his eyes and crying): "...... Yes! There was a lot of sand in the wind......"
(Background music sounds, the classic song "Evening on the outskirts of Moscow")
Voiceover: The million-strong Soviet army that swept Shijie, the torrent of steel that defied NATO and shocked the East...... Since then, it has withered and disappeared in the cold wind.
Looking at the collapse of its strong neighbor in the north, although China has laid down the big stone in its heart, it still can't help but shed tears -- after all, it is the big brother of socialism, and no matter how domineering, arrogant, and bullying people it is, it still has an inseparable kindness to China in the end.
Without the Soviet Union and the socialist family, China's basic industry and defense system would be almost impossible.
The Soviet Union was born to wake up China;
The Soviet Union grew up to guide China;
The Soviet Union flourished to help China;
The fall of the Soviet Union was a warning to China;
Alas~~~~
Even if you look through the history of Shijie, you can't find two other countries like this......
After crying, the rabbit put away the tea set, picked up the broken sickle and hammer, repainted it with gold paint, and then turned away against the sudden howling wind and snow - without the big brother Mao Bear as a target to pull hatred, it was his turn to bear the open guns and arrows of the entire capitalist camp.
Hairy bear (a soul state floating in the sky, with wings on his back, an extra aperture on his head, and a rabbit away): "...... Sorry, comrade, the road ahead can no longer accompany you. Now that you are the eldest brother, you have to go down bravely on this thorny road ahead, although the wind is strong, although the snow is very fast, I will bless you in the wind and snow......"
Voiceover: The upheavals in Eastern Europe, the collapse of the Soviet Union, the loss of a great nation, and the Shijie movement have since fallen to its lowest point of bitter cold.
However, the spark of truth, justice and happiness is still buried in the hearts of millions of oppressed people. To this day, there are still hundreds of socialist political parties and organizations on Shijie.
After taking the broken sickle and picking up the broken hammer, we have not forgotten the original ideal and wish - Inter Naishon Narr must be realized!
zuihou, accompanied by the majestic "Internationale", the red curtain slowly closes again, and the animation ends. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to (.) to vote for recommendation, monthly pass, your support is my biggest motivation. )
