"Do you want one?" Tommy stopped the bus, took out his cigarette case, and handed it to Susan Curtis, who was standing at the bus stop at sunset waiting for the last bus.

Susan took one and said thank you.

Tommy lit a cigarette and looked at the Palm Boulevard at sunset with Susan: "They say you deserve an A in every class on Saturday and Sunday." ”

"To be honest, I haven't had this letter on my report card since I left elementary school, and I didn't give it a damn back then." Susan lit a cigarette and smiled self-deprecatingly, "But now, I want to get it in every performance." ”

"That letter just represents your desire for a normal life." Tommy spat out a smoke ring and smiled at Susan, then opened the door of the stingray he parked next to him and motioned for Susan to get in, "I'll take you back to San Jose." ”

Susan turned her head and looked at Stanford University with some reluctance, which was warmly colored by the sunset, and even the sunset here was more beautiful than what she saw in that dilapidated apartment.

The end of the two-day training course meant that she would not see Stanford again for the next five days, and in countless moments during these two days, she thought that she had really become a member of Stanford University, no different from those college students with sunny smiles.

But Tommy's words brought her back to the harsh reality, that is, she can only look like a normal Stanford young man on Saturdays and Sundays, and when the time comes, she will continue to roll back to San Jose to be a cheap prostitute.

Noticing Susan's gaze, Tommy didn't urge, but stood in front of the car door and said to Susan, who turned his head to look back, "The scenery is good, right?" ”

"It's beautiful, and if I hadn't been reminded to go back to San Jose, I'd have thought I'd be one of them." Susan retracted her gaze and said to Tommy, "Your reminder reminds me that I don't even have enough money in my pocket to buy tomorrow's lunch, and I need to find some guests to make money, and not let myself starve to death before the next training session begins." ”

Then, without any hesitation, he opened the passenger door and sat in.

"I like this kind of character." Tommy started the car with a cigarette in his mouth and said with a smile on his lips.

Susan looked at the ten-page software operation manual in her hand with a calm face, using this time to remember as many keys as possible, and Tommy didn't bother her until the small town of San Jose appeared in sight, and the last afterglow of the sunset was left, Tommy reminded Susan:

"The lights on the car are broken, and I haven't repaired them yet, so continuing to study in such light is very harmful to my eyesight."

Susan obediently closed the operation guide and looked out the window at the familiar street: "Does it hurt more than fucking some perverted guest who suddenly burns your back with a cigarette butt at the same time?" ”

"Let's change the conversation to a more enjoyable one, remember what I said about the extra rewards?" Tommy held the steering wheel and said with a cloudy breath.

"I thought you sent me back in person, and saving me the fare was an added bonus." Hearing Tommy's words, Susan turned her head and looked at the man.

Tommy drove aimlessly through the streets, searching for something, and said:

"After the normal training, the Association for the Promotion of Equality will use its influence to recommend students to some companies near Silicon Valley, to be honest, I have already done the work of ten students, the weekly salary is about 200 yuan, which is less than what you may earn 24 hours a week to deal with customers, but having employee health insurance, which means that you have problems with your body, teeth, and vision, and you need to see a doctor, and the company will pay most of the expenses for you, and you only need to spend 100 yuan or less dozens of dollars a year."

"I don't earn 200 yuan a week, and I look down on the dentist, this business is not prosperous every day, sometimes I can't receive a customer a day, so I can only go to the back alley to squat down to help the supermarket security guard come **, and exchange some supermarket free coupons to buy some food." Susan heard Tommy's words, exhaled softly, and then laughed:

"So, because I got an A, I will be guaranteed to get a job in advance?"

Tommy glanced at Susan and said with a smile: "Listen to me, in addition to insurance, there is also paid leave, employees within three years of employment have about three days a year, and the unfinished vacation will also be included in the salary and paid to employees, at the same time, you will also have a company-funded personal pension account, that is, if you live to the age of fifty-nine in this fucked world, you can receive a pension enough for you to live every month, of course, you don't have to thank the company and the United States, thank the Soviet Union." ”

Finally saw a supermarket sign on the side of the road, Tommy drove the car to the supermarket parking lot, and said to Susan, who didn't understand why she came to the supermarket, "Come with me to the supermarket to buy something." ”

The two men pushed the shopping cart towards the food area, and Tommy threw milk, cereal, bread and the like towards the cart and asked Susan, "What do you think of the job I just talked about?" ”

"I don't think it's possible for someone like me to refuse this kind of work." Susan stared at Tommy's face and said seriously, "So when the are you going to have an appetite?" What are the rewards? Do you want me to go back to the car with you now before I say it? Those trainers were right, you suck, Tommy. ”

Tommy laughed happily, "Seeing my essence under the influence of those guys so quickly? Yes, I'm a jerk, thank you for the invitation, but I just finished with my girlfriend, so I don't need to. ”

Then he put away his smile and looked at Susan Curtis: "I just want to say that you will be a partner in this seductive company, and as long as you work hard, in addition to what I just said, you can also own shares in the company and participate in the profit sharing of the company's profits." ”

Susan Curtis was startled by Tommy's serious expression, she subconsciously shrank her shoulders and said uncertainly, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Companies in Silicon Valley need people to do some repetitive clerical work for them, so they need a small human resources company like this to send employees, and you can take care of some of the work of this company, and I think you can do it." Tommy said in a calm tone.

"Are you sure you're not getting high? Tommy Hawk? Susan Curtis looked at Tommy in a daze and asked, "What's your license plate number?" Remember? You're going to let me take care of the manpower...... Manpower...... What kind of company is manpower, I can't even pronounce the company's name, you let me take care of it? ”

"Don't worry, you're not alone, there will be other helpers, but given that we only advertised in "Joy Seeker" in the early stage, and the girls who came to train were girls like you, it was easier for you to deal with them, you know what I mean? It's that we're going to concentrate on teaching you one, but you're going to teach those people, like the bustard in a brothel teaching those girls, what's so hard, Susan? You get an A in a strange computer training, and you can definitely get an S in dealing with prostitutes. Tommy reached out and pinched Susan's raised smooth chin, and said with a smile:

"You don't have to worry about a guest burning your back with a cigarette butt for the next five days, that's enough food for two people for a week, and a laptop computer in the trunk of that car outside, it's an extra gift from Miss Susan Curtis who got the A, focus on your studies, and if I see you next time at Stanford, the trainer tells me that you've completed part of the course on your own, there will be other rewards waiting for you."

Susan Curtis stood there for a long time, until Tommy was already far away with the cart, she came to her senses, quickly chased after him, and asked Tommy's side, "What do you need me to do, honestly, you will let me squat down immediately in front of everyone to help you solve it once, I won't refuse." ”

"I need you to cut down on swearing, talk like those college students who train you, and then ask your sisters in the same industry, tell them that if they are interested, they can change jobs, and the same as I promised you at the beginning, free training, free job recommendation, only need to buy software, but those addicted to poisonous insects and women infected with infectious diseases, don't think about it, there will be a unified physical examination before employment, and then find out that you have mixed into the training team because of the pity of a prostitute, and I will kick you out together." Tommy picked up a few bottles of juice and put them in the cart, and said:

"I like people who seize opportunities, you give me the feeling that this is the kind of person, as long as you continue to work hard and don't recognize people and disappoint, you will get more attention, that's what I said, correct the fucked life by yourself, if you don't want to work hard, others won't help you, right?"

"I always thought you were always angry, full of swearing, like many people I knew around me, until I just said that I noticed that you can actually not be a little angry." After listening to Tommy's words, Susan stared at the other party quietly for a long time before speaking.

Tommy gave Susan a calm look, "Then remember that this is what you want to become, a real *son." ”

"Who's the helper you're talking about? Holly or your lovely girlfriend? Susan calmed down and followed Tommy as she pushed the cart to the cash register, asking as she spoke.

Tommy handed the same food in the cart to the cashier and said to Susan, "No, a good lad named Mark Warren, remember him?" It's amazing that you took a bus to Stanford. ”

"Is that guy a cowherd? You asked me to go to those women, and he was in charge of the men? Susan immediately realized something and asked Tommy.

Tommy waited for the cashier to settle the bill, took out his wallet and paid the bill, then continued to push the shopping cart forward, and said, "No, no, no, no, don't insult Mark, okay?" He is definitely not a cowherd, Jason is a cowherd. ”

"So what does he do?" Susan asked curiously.

"He used to be an actor and casting assistant for a one-day film company, and when he tried to convince my roommate Jason to take his place as an actor and make a small movie to entertain the public, Jason punched him, and as compensation and recognition of his enthusiasm for his work, I decided to give him a new job that paid better." Walking out of the supermarket, Tommy said to Susan:

"He has more connections in the California prostitution industry than you, and he has persuaded many prostitutes with good bodies to switch careers to make small movies, and I just asked him to repeat the persuasion work he did before."

Susan Curtis looked at the night sky, which had turned completely black, and said for a long time: "I don't know what the computer industry is like, Tommy, but I'm at least sure it shouldn't be what you do now." ”

"So what? Interested in working in this deformed computer industry? Tommy asked Susan after opening the trunk and dropping the food in.

Susan nodded without thinking: "Why not, it's the industry that is deformed, and it's not me." ”

"GoodGirl, the tone of this sentence has learned six points of my skill, keep up the good work, and when you really become me as a bastard one day, you will find that there is far more than one industry deformity, and the whole United States is deformed." Tommy laughed happily:

"At that point, you will no longer hate this deformed country, but you will love it from the bottom of your heart."
