Twenty-two-nine

After the voice in the hall quieted down, the teacher spoke again: "Everyone be quiet, listen to me, now it's time for our interview." We are here today with two hundred and eighty people. We were divided into groups of ten and stood in a row, ten of them went up, and we walked half a circle along the stage, going up from the east and going down from the west. When we came on stage, we nodded and saluted the people below, and then introduced ourselves one by one. The content of the introduction, what is my name, where am I from, how old I am this year, and how long I have been in this business. When you are introduced, you have to take a step forward, and when you finish the introduction, you will return to the team, and then you will also take a step forward when you introduce the next person, and after the introduction, you will take a step back to your own team. When all ten of you have been introduced, you will walk from east to west along the stage. Then switch to the next row. Remember, you have to be smiling when you introduce yourself. “

The teacher told us the steps and rules of going on stage. After I listened to it, I felt how uncomfortable and uncomfortable I was. Suddenly, I had a feeling of being sold, just like the scene of those people being sold after the Jia family fell in the Dream of Red Mansions.

How is this so similar to that? At that time, didn't the people of the Jia family also stand in a large row, walking on the stage, and then the people below were watching and picking? Isn't that the same situation now? Probably because I'm thinking too much, right? I don't think other aunts are as unhappy as I am. I really can't laugh. Now, if I could quit, I would never come back to power. But since I have already signed up and have already come, I can't quit if I want to, and I won't let me quit, except after five o'clock.

It's time for us to take the stage. Just like the teachers, we all follow the procedure. When it came time for me to make my own introduction, I tried to squeeze a little smile out of my face, but I knew in my heart that maybe my laughter would be worse than crying. Because I just can't make myself laugh. I don't have anything to be happy about, and I don't have the talent to act. So I can't do that.

After introducing himself in a daze, he walked off the stage in a daze. I didn't think that anyone would want me, with my cold face, who could see it? But even if we all got off the stage and finished the performance, we wouldn't let us go, because after we walked half a circle, there were customers below, and they still had to choose. The clothes we wear are all written with numbers, and if people like someone, they don't need to call them by name, they can just call multiple numbers.

The idea of being sold has always been in my mind, and this feeling makes me very uncomfortable and very uncomfortable, and I am not a person without a job. No matter how bad it is, I am also a boarder in a garment factory, with a salary of seven or eight thousand a month, and I am very idle in the factory. I didn't expect it to be so depressed now.

Although I know that I have done a good job in this industry, it is far more than my salary of seven or eight thousand yuan in the garment factory, but I still do not fall behind in my heart. Blame yourself, if I hadn't been with Zhang Xu at the beginning, how good would I have been in the original factory? But since marrying him, his work has not been smooth, and his family has not been happy. In the end, I didn't even have a job, and I couldn't find it. It's only come to this point.

No matter how good your previous job is, you won't be able to come back after all. If I had been working there and had no leave to fight a lawsuit with Zhang Xu, maybe the boss would not find someone else to replace me, if I didn't find someone else, my skills would not have been said, so even if there was less work during the epidemic, even if he was laying off people, at least he would not lay off me. But it was because I took leave to fight a lawsuit and a leave of absence to see a doctor when I had a lot of work, that I lost such a good job.

We waited there, waiting for someone to take a fancy to us. Seeing that one by one was called away, I knew that I was out of play. Just when I thought that there was no one to use me, a teacher really came to call me, "Sixty-sixth, Ji Wenli, come here." “

As soon as I heard the teacher call me, I knew who had taken a fancy to me, and it seemed that I might be able to sell it today. I always thought I was being sold.

After listening to this, I got up and went out with the teacher. When I walked up to the teacher, the teacher said to me, "There's one who has taken a fancy to you and wants to talk to you, so go over." “

"Okay," I said mechanically. I really don't have the thrill of finding a job.

"Sister Ji, I always feel that your complexion is not very good, why do you look like you are unhappy, looking at your face as if someone owes you a lot of money and has not repaid it. Be happy, at least let people see, you are kind, who doesn't want to find someone who loves to laugh with children? ”

"I'll tell you the truth, teacher, I don't know why I can't laugh today, I always have a feeling that we are being sold. To be honest, if I can't find a job today, I won't be here in the future. I'll never do it again. I always think back to the scene of Lao Jia's family being sold in the dream of Red Mansions. "I spoke my mind.

"Sister Ji, you are quite imaginative, why do you think of the Jia family?" The teacher was amused by what I said. "It's not as serious as you say. Let me tell you, don't say it's your age, and there are still college students in their twenties doing what we do? Other little girls can do this, but you can't do it anymore when you're in your forties. I'm not afraid of you getting angry when I say it, just your age, you can find a job in this line of work, and you are too old to do anything else and go out to clean. ”

Although the teacher's words are a little ugly, but the truth is also like this, I don't need to say that I know, because since I came from my hometown after the New Year, I haven't found a job, and sure enough, as she said, I think I'm old everywhere. It would have been better if there had been no pandemic.

Actually, I'm not very old, but I'm still in my sixties? But the problem is that I don't need to be used in the previous units, and most of the new units have reduced the number of people, so how can I still use people? My previous contacts can't be reached again, because WeChat is gone. So now I can't really find a job I can do outside of this industry.

"I know, you're right. It's true that I can't find a job, so I can hope that someone buys me. At least three meals for me. I said.

Of course, she knew I was joking, so she smiled and said, "I think this person should be able to provide you with three meals." Good performance, no problem. Your image is very good to work. Although I didn't have fun just now, someone still took a fancy to you. ”

"We just need to bring the children with us, what image do you need? I'm not an actor, I'm not a model. I said.

"You don't know this, the image of doing this business is very important, some people pick aunts with good images, because children also love good-looking aunts. There are also people who think that the aunt they invite is good-looking, and they also have face for themselves to bring children. The teacher said.

I thought to myself. What do you think? It seems that it is really the era of looking at faces, and even inviting an aunt is beautiful. If she says that, maybe I'll be able to sell it. Because I think my image is okay.
