02 Winter sunshine
Lao Zhou hates iron and steel, and the old man knows.
He also knows that today's professional chess players are not the athletes of their time, and they are not like the older generation, which is full of honor and faith.
He also knows that today's professional chess players always like to leave a way back for themselves and be a smart person in their own eyes and in the eyes of others.
The biggest characteristic of a smart person is that he will not admit defeat.
He and Lao Zhou used to be smart people, and they almost never admitted defeat for most of their lives.
But today's young people are smarter than they are.
They will admit "defeat" and "lose" to people and things that can make them "win" in life.
These smart people are all young people who have high hopes in front of the king.
Naturally, there are smart people, and there must be "honest people".
Compared with those smart people who take the initiative to admit "losing", Lao Zhou looks down on those "honest people" who are immersed in hard work.
Because these "honest people" are even more hateful, although they don't care about winning or losing, they don't admit defeat as easily as the smart people.
But they always want to go and make a splash.
This so-called blockbuster can ruin their youth.
The wind and rain come and go, spring goes and autumn comes. Life is short for decades, Lao Zhou only hopes that these honest people will fight for the day, instead of thinking about the most difficult eternity to achieve!
"Spring breeze? It's easier said than done. ”
"It's not so much the spring breeze as the spring breeze!"
……
Yang Zheng got the reward after the chess exhibition, which was as much as 5,000 yuan, of course, the reward he got was far less than that of the two real chess masters.
But just like that, he is also very satisfied.
On the way home, Yang Zheng suddenly thought, no wonder so many people are willing to become professional chess players one after another. It is no wonder that there are so many young people and children who have their future career aspirations and positioning anchors and actors.
After all, these professions, it is really too easy to get money.
Yang Zheng held the wallet full of banknotes, and suddenly he felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment in his heart.
He really wanted to share this happiness with Huanhuan at this time.
But before that, he looked at the street with so many shops that he kept spitting in his throat.
The various snacks that constantly float to his nose, as well as the unique milk fragrance of milk tea, all make Yang Zheng lose his soul on this bustling street.
His hands, arms, eyes, and heart were all filled with dazzling commodities in this moment.
His wallet was also a full third thinner in between this satisfaction.
He didn't seem to be satisfied, he looked at the shop that he once wanted to try, but didn't dare to try for many reasons, and he couldn't help but take a small step.
Of course, the price of his small step is naturally that his wallet has become thinner.
He seemed contented and satisfied, for he had finally experienced the life he had had, or rather had fantasized about as a child.
He carried his things and walked home, he seemed to have forgotten that he wanted to share the joy with Huanhuan, he seemed to be carrying this full of goods, and he only had himself in his eyes.
Until, he found a job posting on the side of the street.
He stopped numbly.
……
The notice is a recruitment posting, without the bells and whistles of many things in his hands.
He's just an ordinary A4 printer paper.
But such an ordinary A4 printer paper seems to bring hope.
Because, what is written on it is a real job posting.
It is also a job posting that can give students and the unemployed a job posting.
The basic salary of 3,005 a month plus a bonus, although this salary is not too high in the big city of Shangjing. However, the word bonus is like a lily blooming in the dark night, which can bring hope.
Yang Zheng looked at this recruitment notice, he turned his head to look at the owner of this notice, the bubble tea shop that he often frequented, and he walked over with a ghost.
He watched the people come and go, and he looked at the men, women, boys and girls who were always smiling behind the counter, and for some reason, his heart suddenly only clicked.
Fifteen yuan for a cup of milk tea, which is considered a parity in this city.
He didn't hesitate to buy a cup of milk tea, and he also took the opportunity to secretly stare at the girl who made him milk tea.
The girl is beautiful and thin. But her smile and her shaking arms are full of indescribable power.
She shook the milk tea for about a day, because even if the air-conditioned milk tea shop was opened, her forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.
She shouldn't be that old, either. Because there is a bookish aura hidden between her eyebrows, it will not be covered by wind and frost.
She is beautiful, soft, but optimistic, and she also makes almost everyone look at her for the first time, and they will probably subconsciously think that she will have a better career and a better future than making milk tea.
Obviously she is so beautiful and works so hard, why do you want to work in this bubble tea shop with only a basic salary of 3,005?
Yang Zheng was curious, but he didn't ask, because the girl's smile and her eyes that were always full of hope for life seemed to wordlessly tell Yang Zheng the answer he wanted.
She must have enjoyed the process of making milk tea. In other words, what she enjoys is the process of earning money with her hard-working hands.
After all, her patience, as well as the welcome she shouted loudly when she saw a new customer, were like a bullet that shattered all of Yang Zheng's curiosity.
Yang Zheng looked at her, and suddenly there was a trace of respect in his eyes.
Because he found that the world was built by these industrious people.
The traffic behind him and the people in front of him are the foundation of this world.
He couldn't help but think of what the chess nerd told him when they met him for the first time, why Nuwa pinched people, why she pinched the center of people on her stomach, not on her heart.
He took the milk tea in a trance.
He asked the girl again in a trance: "Excuse me, what is your monthly bonus?" ”
After asking this sentence, Yang Zheng felt his face blush and his heart beat, and he lowered his head even more embarrassedly.
But unexpectedly, the girl looked at Yang Zheng and smiled slightly, her smile shone on Yang Zheng's face and heart like the winter sun.
"That's a lot of bonuses a month, more than a thousand!"
……
Yang Zheng was drinking milk tea and walking on the road, and he kept thinking about the girl's words in his mind.
He no longer feels that some professions have become desirable because of the high income, and he is no longer as crazy as he was just now.
He drank the sweet milk tea in his hand, and recalled the appearance of a chess nerd in his mind, and a smile inadvertently appeared between the corners of his mouth.
"I wish I could finish the third game of chess with you that day."
"It's just that I know that even if I am now, I will not be able to beat you on the chessboard."
"Because of the chess nerd, your chess strength is really unfathomable."
