Section 11 Initial Mission
Life always needs to be settled, and it is important to help the boss of another large company to work hard but not earn a penny, so it is important to find a job quickly.
Wang Jiali's breakup made me a little disheartened about the comfortable life, so I did not hesitate to choose Dr. Zhang's second suggestion and went directly to the Shanghai Institute of Cultural Relics for an interview.
It was a little rainy, and I was interviewed by another girl, an undergraduate graduate from Jilin University who also came here for an internship like me.
The little girl is a native of Shanghai, and she looks like a big beauty at first glance! She is very likable, and she communicated with the director in charge of the interview in Shanghainese for a while, and soon she was recognized by the director and successfully selected as an intern at the institute.
When it was my turn, it became much more tortuous, and the director first asked me, "Xiao Feng, is he from Changde, Hunan?"
I replied, "Yes, Director!"
The director nodded, and said thoughtfully: "Oh, Dr. Zhang introduced me, no matter how you say it, you have to give Dr. Zhang face! Then tell me about your strengths and abilities, I'll find out first!"
I was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and replied truthfully: "Actually, I am more familiar with ancient characters, especially from the oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang and Zhou dynasties to the languages of the countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!
The director waited for a long time, and then asked in surprise, "No?"
This made me stunned again, and I was embarrassed to reply: "No, that's all I will!"
The director put down my resume, frowned while staring at my resume, and said: "Ouch, you see how you say that you are also a graduate student, logically speaking, your knowledge should be more comprehensive! We are a cultural relics research institute, and it is certainly not enough to just understand cultural relics! At least you must have some understanding of ancient tombs and ancient buildings, and the most important thing is that you must be very familiar with the history of our country! And you must also have a certain ability to distinguish between the authenticity and falsehood of cultural relics?"
I shook my head and said, "No!"
After hearing this, the director sighed and said, "Ouch, how did our Fudan University in Shanghai do this, didn't you cover these in your course?"
Suddenly, I had the idea of wanting to retreat, and I swallowed my anger at the director's insult, but I still couldn't hold back and said: "I'm sorry director! Each of us has different concerns, and everyone has their own research orientation, and I specialize in the study of ancient characters and ancient literary styles, and I really don't have much research on the cultural relics themselves!"
As soon as the director heard this, he knew that I was a little unhappy, so he immediately smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, don't be unhappy, I'll just say casually, no matter what, the person recommended by Dr. Zhang will not be too bad, I believe you still have some attainments in ancient writing! It's just that according to your expertise, I can only arrange for you to go to the field archaeology, and I can't arrange a suitable position for you in the office, are you willing?"
It's archaeology again, hey, it seems that I can't escape this fate of running around! There's no way, I won't be unemployed after graduation, let's do it first, so I nodded and said bitterly: "Okay then!"
The director got up and patted me on the shoulder with a smile, comforted me and said, "Young man, you are tall and strong, just right for going out to exercise! But don't underestimate field archaeology, as long as you have a major discovery, you are guaranteed to be famous in the entire archaeological community, there are many opportunities, work hard!"
After saying that, he asked his personnel colleagues to take me to go through the entry procedures, it seems that their efficiency is quite high, and I will be hired immediately after passing the interview! However, I was quickly blamed by the personnel manager and asked me to quickly buy a mobile phone, saying that it was too troublesome to contact him.
After leaving the institute, I immediately rushed back to school, and I had to help Wen Yuan and Xianyun get lunch, otherwise they would be hungry.
How can I afford to buy a mobile phone, now I only have eighty left in my pocket, and I will soon be hungry, so I will return my mobile phone!
I think I'm really down, although I have an internship job, but it's only about 3,000 yuan a month, and I won't be able to go to work until next month.
But I can't even make it this week, what should I do?
Seeing me shouting downstairs, Wen Yuan and Xianyun immediately went down to the dormitory building and happily followed me into the dining room.
One meal, eighty to fifty, this is definitely not good, this can't even survive tomorrow.
I couldn't let Wen Yuan and Xianyun accompany me to go hungry, so I had no choice but to go to Chen Liang and ask him to borrow a thousand yuan for me from his parents!
Although the salary is only 3,000 yuan, I have heard that the allowance for participating in field archaeology at the institute is very high, 300 per day! If this is the case, then it can indeed solve the problem of rations and accommodation for the three of us! Fortunately, let me go to field archaeology, otherwise if I am really arranged to do clerical work in the office, I am afraid that the three of us will have to drink the northwest wind!
Naturally, our archaeology department was very concerned about the news in the archaeological field, and soon I heard that the students began to talk about it, saying that the underground archaeological team in Henan had discovered an ancient temple in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and the archaeological team members became delirious, as if they had fallen under some spell! The whole archaeological project completely failed, and all the archaeological team members were sent to the hospital and isolated separately for treatment and observation.
Soon I received a notice from the research institute that I would go to the research institute tomorrow and start my internship immediately! They asked me to do things so suddenly in advance, I vaguely felt a little weird, could it be that I should go to the strange ancient temple in Henan with the archaeological team!
The next day, I obeyed the call of the leader and came to the institute on time to report, but unexpectedly, the whole institute was busy, as if something big had happened.
The sister of the personnel department is really efficient, she just finished taking the entry photo yesterday, and today she helped me make the employee card and handed it to me, and then sent me Wu Baiyuan's transportation expenses in advance, and arranged a separate seat and drawer for me in an office!
The director's surname is Liu, his name is Liu Yunshan, he is mainly responsible for external archaeological matters, and after seeing that my sister helped me settle down, she immediately called me to his office.
Director Liu was sweating profusely, and said frankly to me: "Xiao Feng, things came too suddenly. Our national archaeological team had an accident in Henan, and three members of the archaeological team went missing, and we received instructions from the leaders to ask our Shanghai Research Institute to immediately appoint team members to rescue them! We are now extremely short of manpower, and we have no choice but to pull you to make up the numbers, and by the way, we will also go to actual combat to hone our skills! How about it, do you have the courage to go?"
I was stunned when I heard it, I just joined the company, and I'm still a student who doesn't know anything, doesn't your arrangement mean that I will also be sent to death?
Looking at my blank expression, Director Liu smiled and said, "It's okay, we have masters in the team, they will teach you to protect you along the way, you don't have to worry! I heard that those stone pillars in the temple are engraved with strange oracle bone inscriptions, you are the best at this, your job task is very simple, is responsible for helping them translate those oracle bone inscriptions, just tell them what to write!"
I nodded and said, "Since I have the leadership of my seniors, then I don't need to worry, no problem!"
Director Liu looked at me and nodded again and again and said, "Okay, then it's decided, let's leave tomorrow, you don't have to go to work today, go back and pack up first!"
I sighed, and just as I was about to leave, Director Liu stopped me again and said, "Oh yes, Xiao Feng, are there any other students in your class who are willing to go together? I still have two places missing here, and I have to make up enough eight people to do it, and the tasks assigned by the leader must be completed, but I really can't find a suitable candidate for this time and a half!"
I shook my head and said, "No, they are all in class, some of them have already gone to internships, and no one wants to go! I have two relatives who are about the same age as me, young and strong, and they can make up the numbers, but they are countrymen who don't know anything!"
"No matter!" Director Liu said categorically: "Anyway, you have Professor Wang Qiqi to guide you along the way, so it's not bad to let them make up the numbers to move things! You can help me call the two of them, and we will pay them a temporary salary of 100 per person per day, and the field is the same as the staff of our research institute, which is 300! You don't have to ask about the expenses on the road, Lao Wang will handle everything!"
As soon as I heard it, I wondered, the salary of this temporary person turned out to be exactly the same as mine, which is too unscientific!
But I didn't want to complain, so I had to say yes and leave the institute immediately and go back to school.
But soon I regretted it, I didn't ask Wen Yuan and the two of them, and I didn't know if they were willing, so I agreed to Director Liu directly, what a mess.
Fortunately, when they heard that I was going to take the two of them to participate in the archaeological rescue operation in other places, and there was money to be made, the two of them agreed without hesitation!
Thank God, I won't be so reckless in the future, and I sincerely thank my two nephews, this time it was a great favor for me!
In the afternoon, I took the two of them to a leisure store and bought some summer clothes for the road to change!
Considering that the temple was located underground, I didn't know if Professor Wang would prepare a flashlight, so I bought a flashlight and a few candles and put them in my bag together.
In the evening, Chen Liang came to the dormitory to find me with great interest, and happily pulled me and said happily: "Wow Xiao Feng, you have also entered the research institute, and our brothers can continue to be colleagues in the future!"
I was surprised and asked, "What? You also went to the graduate school for an internship?"
Chen Liang nodded happily and said, "Yes, I heard that you are going to Henan tomorrow to participate in the archaeological operation, hehe, I will go with you!"
As soon as I heard this, I felt that something was wrong, and muttered to myself: "What's going on? An archaeological team representing Shanghai, four of the eight people are novices, don't they take our lives seriously, and are so anxious to send us to death together?"
Seeing that I lowered my head and pondered, Wen Yuan hurriedly walked over and asked, "Uncle, what's wrong, is there something wrong?"
"Oh!", I hurriedly replied: "It's nothing, it's nothing, I just think it's too coincidental, it's so unexpected that I went with Chen Liang!"
Chen Liang was very happy, and in his excitement, he dragged us to the Internet café to play, this time I specially opened an extra machine for Wen Yuan, and let him play with him!
Wen Yuan once again surprised me, he watched me play five games, and as soon as I got started, I played very well, the stun of the bull head was very timely, and for a while, the three of us killed each other and hung up directly!
This time the game was even more enjoyable than last time, and Chen Liang, who was happy, shouted: "It's really good, it's definitely a perfect threesome, the three of us can kill all sides in the future, hehe!"
...... , this Chen Liang is definitely addicted to playing games, and I don't want to think about what we are going to do tomorrow!
In any case, since you have entered this industry, danger will definitely be encountered, and the ruins of ancient civilizations have never been very fond of being disturbed, so it is reasonable to take some precautions against sudden visits from strangers.
But I actually pulled my two nephews on my back in a daze, which seemed a little too unkind! At this time, I remembered what my mother and father told me, and I felt very ashamed! But what can I do, I can only beg for a living like this, and we can't live happily!
