Chapter 118: Ordinary People
On the same night, Kenichi Kitamura did not sit in the luxurious private room of the high-end Japanese restaurant to eat and drink, nor did he sit in the private club of the top membership to enjoy.
At the bottom of society, he was working at a convenience store in Adachi Ward for 1,000 yen an hour. It's not that he doesn't know, he completely earns hard-earned money.
Most households in Japan have a household income, not personal income, of only four or five million yen. That's still a household income before taxes. Although it is impossible to talk about a poor life, it is by no means rich.
If you want to enroll your child in a prestigious private school, an international school, or something, it is almost impossible for a family income of four or five million yen before taxes.
Unless the child is naturally smart, can pass the relevant tests, and successfully get a tuition waiver, a full scholarship or something.
Or cooperate with some people through show, that is, so that children who are rarely born at the bottom of the society can feel the care from the society, so as to enter a good school.
Kenichi Kitamura grew up in an ordinary Japanese family that could no longer be ordinary. He has a general appearance, an average mind, and no motor nerves, and the school he attends is also the most ordinary existence.
His various academic achievements during school are still at the level of ordinary people. He is destined to do ordinary work and live an ordinary life like most people.
The only bright spot on Kenichi Kitamura is drawing manga. As for when he will be able to come out and become a professional cartoonist, even he himself is not clear. What I can still do is to keep moving forward.
Seeing that there were no customers in the store, the store manager took the initiative to approach Kenichi Kitamura's cash register and said, "Kitamura, how long have you been here?"
Kenichi Kitamura replied truthfully, "It's been more than two years!"
The store manager asked pointedly, "You don't plan to change jobs?"
Kenichi Kitamura smiled bitterly and said, "I don't work at convenience stores, I can only work in Internet cafes, restaurants, construction sites, and other places. ap.
Although it is true that I can make a lot more money on the construction site, I also have to have enough strength to do it! At the very least, convenience stores should not only be much cleaner, but also warm in winter and cool in summer.
What's more, it's close to where I lived. Otherwise, I'll have to spend more time commuting and pay for transportation."
The store manager saw that he was speaking to the point, instead of running the train with his mouth full of words: "There are fewer and fewer young people like you who work hard. You haven't asked for leave once, you've been late or left early."
Kitamura Kenichi thought about it, and he only had an hour's money for working for an hour. If you take a day off, the 8,000 yen will be gone.
For the rich, 8,000 yen is nothing at all. However, for a poor person like himself, 8,000 yen is indispensable.
Especially when he is nervous at the moment, he can't afford to miss this money. If you are late or leave early, you will be deducted. I'm here to make money, not to play, so I won't let go of every yen.
Kenichi Kitamura suddenly became excited and said, "Store manager, you don't want to turn me into a regular person, do you?"
The store manager smiled and said, "What are you thinking? Although you are working well, but you are unlucky and did not catch up with the good times.
At present, these companies are able to save on employment costs, and they resolutely do not need formal workers if they can do without regular jobs. Otherwise, there would be no more and more people working part-time jobs today."
Kenichi Kitamura's disappointed expression suddenly appeared on his face and said, "I mistakenly thought that I could turn positive!"
The store manager put away the smile on his face and said, "If you turn positive, it must be good?" At that time, there will be endless classes every day. Even on holidays, you still have to work. Isn't that what we're in the convenience store industry?"
After hearing what he said, Kitamura Kenichi felt a little better in his heart. I need to draw comics, so I can't work overtime for a long time every day. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to draw comics at all.
Of course, the store manager didn't know all this, and comforted, "I understand your desire to turn positive. The company does not send it
I can't help the quota for regularization."
Ken Kitamura has always said, "If a person like me doesn't have a formal job, it's not easy to even talk about falling in love."
The store manager expressed understanding, "Kitamura, you are my best subordinate. If, and I say if, if you have a good place to go, then go for it!
To tell you the truth, if you continue to work here, that's all you can do. Whether it's a regular or an income, it can't meet your expectations."
Kitamura Ken kept going straight and said, "Even if I leave here and work in another place, it will be nothing more than a humanoid monster within the tenth level around the novice village to an animal monster.
Could it be that I still expect these low-level monsters to burst into good things? As long as my own level doesn't increase or I don't have good equipment, then I can't fight more advanced monsters.
If you can't beat the high-level monsters, it means that there will be no good things to be taken by yourself, but there will be less and less experience. It's clearly an endless loop that can't be broken."
The store manager understood what he meant and said, "I understand the truth. But the problem is that we are all ordinary people, not Krypton.
Only Kryptonite can successfully achieve the refreshment of skipping the level and fighting monsters. Since you don't have Krypton's life, then don't dream of Kryptonian.
Ordinary people go to fight high-level monsters, and they will only be tortured and killed by high-level monsters, and even the game is over. Another way to take a shortcut is to have strong enough friends.
For ordinary people, can they recognize friends who are either rich or expensive? As the saying goes, what people and what pile.
Even if you are fortunate enough to meet extraordinary friends, it does not mean that others will help you because of your request."
Kenichi Kitamura concluded, "Speaking of which, you still have to rely on yourself."
The store manager said in his heart, "Otherwise? You envy me as a regular employee, but I envy those who work for a big company.
The regular employees of the big companies definitely have what they envy. Everyone has a script for their lives. I can't envy it.
If you are really unwilling, do you really choose to commit suicide and start a new one? As long as you don't give up acting out this life script of your current life......
Kitamura interrupted with a laugh as soon as he "fluttered", "Will there be a turnaround?"
The store manager laughed and said, "If you don't even believe it, what's the use of me lying to you? According to you young people today, live in the moment and live each day well."
