Chapter 2: The people I met after coming here are so strange
A few unsuccessful applicants walked past her, and she put her backpack down, she remembered that she had folded the leaflet and put it in her makeup bag, and she had to take it out again to take a closer look.
However, when the organizer of the talent market recruitment conference put away all the tables and chairs on the site, and the sanitation workers cleaned up all the confetti on the site, she never found the leaflet again.
She took a deep breath, looked at the sky that was gradually darkening, turned her head and ran to the staff of the talent market and asked, "Have you seen a person called 'Huaishui Co., Ltd.' to recruit?" β
The staff who was about to leave work on time but was forced to work overtime saw someone coming to look for her, and the whole person was not good, but she still put on a standard smile and looked at the little girl in front of her and said: "If you want to find a company that recruits people on the spot, you can look at the bulletin board over there." β
After thanking her stupidly, she hurriedly searched through the dense company names on the bulletin board.
From beginning to end, when I saw the head from the end, I didn't find the words "Huaishui Co., Ltd."
She sighed faintly.
Sure enough, there is no such good thing as pie in the sky, and even if there is, it will not be her turn.
She picked up her backpack and walked slowly under the gradually lit street lamps, some of the shops on the street were closed, and she was even a little nervous about scanning the "Recruit dishwashers, interested in interviewing" posted on the glass windows of those restaurants.
However, it was still too far from the hotel she had booked, so she decided to go back to the hotel first and wait until tomorrow to find it slowly.
Just as she was about to turn and walk to the right, a pair of slender legs stood in front of her.
She looked up at the man who was standing in front of her.
It's a strange man.
The man in front of him was wearing a loose sweatshirt, and most of his face was hidden under the hood.
It's not a safe social distancing.
Yu Simei silently took two steps back, thinking.
Just as she was about to bypass the man, the man stood in front of her again.
She looked up with a frown and said vigilantly, "Is there something wrong?" β
The man looked up at her, then held out his hand.
"Is this yours?"
She looked closely, wasn't this her makeup bag?
How could it be in his hands?
She took her makeup bag suspiciously, stuffed it into her backpack without looking, nodded at the man and said, "Thank you." β
The man didn't say much when he heard this, and when he saw her put her things away, he nodded and turned to leave.
Because she was in a hurry to go back to rest, she didn't pay much attention to this little episode, but focused on the navigation on her phone.
Therefore, I didn't notice that the man just now hid in the alley, sneakily put on headphones and muttered something, "That's it?" "When I didn't finish it.
The road conditions were much better at night than at noon, and when she found the nearest bus stop, she caught the last bus, leaning in her seat and looking out the window at the neon lights, a little drowsy.
The bus gradually drove into the road near the neighborhood where the hotel was located, as if stripped of the noisy atmosphere, and the surroundings fell silent, except for the rumbling exhaust pipes, and the wheels running over the wet road, and she gradually woke up from a nap.
As the bus pulled into the bus stop, she plunged headlong into the drizzle, looked in the direction of the hotel, and began to run regardless of her image.
When she ran into the hotel, the innkeeper was sitting at a small table eating hot food, and she wiped the water droplets from her eyelashes, and then she realized that the innkeeper was the same person as the aunt who came to help her carry her luggage at noon.
She took out her ID card from her backpack and checked in for her aunt, and then her aunt said:
"Oopsβwhy don't you call me and let me pick you up! Look at such a heavy rain, what should I do if I catch a cold! β
She took the clean handkerchief from her aunt's hand and said while wiping the water droplets from her hair:
"Also, it didn't rain much."
The aunt handed her the room card and said, "The third floor, room 303, is just around the corner of the stairs,"
As she spoke, she pointed to a small open room next to her, and continued, "I have put your luggage here, do you want me to help you carry it?" β
Yu Simei shook her head after putting away the room card and ID card, and said a little shyly: "Auntie, you can eat, I can bring it up myself." When the aunt heard this, she no longer insisted, touched the dishes and chopsticks and looked at the TV series that was playing on the computer.
After finding her backpack and suitcase in the small room, she immediately carried her luggage and walked to the elevator next to her.
When she arrived at the room, she immediately took a hot shower, and when she came out, she lay down on the big bed, looking at the chandelier above her head and exhaling.
Her freshly washed hair hadn't dried yet, and she didn't want to sleep with her wet hair wrapped, so she sat up and wiped her hair with a towel while thinking about "Huaishui Co., Ltd."
If this company is a small company, then even if she is unlucky, at most her phone number is exposed and she receives a bunch of harassing phone calls.
Round drops of water trickled from the tips of her hair to the floor, and her hand reached for the charging phone, and after unlocking the fingerprint lock, she brought up the WeChat interface.
It's been five days, and it's been three days since she sent a message to her boyfriend, and he sent a new circle of friends, but he didn't reply to her message, and he didn't even answer the phone.
Is this the Cold War?
But she didn't quarrel with him.
Before graduation, her boyfriend went to the company where he interned first, and before leaving, he also said that the two would be in a long-distance relationship after graduation, but he didn't expect him to leave, except for sending her a "good morning" the next day after leaving, he never replied to her message.
She and her boyfriend Shi Jingming grew up together, and the two confirmed their relationship when they were in college, which is also a coincidence, the two of them are only separated by one street from college, so it is also very convenient to go out on a date, but the relationship between the two has always been like boiled water, and there is no vigorous plot, nor is there any jealous rival.
She and he are very accustomed to such a relationship, and this is the first time that she has not responded to messages for a long time. She clicked out the input method and entered it in the box, looked at Shi Jingming's avatar that had not changed for thousands of years, and sent the content out.
"Shi Jingming, I think we need to talk."
The water dripping from her hair ran into her collar, and she shivered at once.
At some point, the drizzle outside her window had turned into a downpour, and the potted plants on her balcony began to bubble out of the mud, even on the floor under her window.
"Tick! Tick-"
"Bang!"
It sounded like the tenant opposite her, who should have just come back from the heavy rain and had a bit of a heavy temperament, but the sound of the door closing scared her a lot.
Her hair was almost wiped off, and she remembered the leaflet in her makeup bag, and she quickly opened the zipper and rummaged through it, finding the folded leaflet between the two eyebrow pencils.
She held the kettle in one hand and pressed the electric plug into the socket, and unfolded the leaflet with the other.
"Huaishui Co., Ltd." was clearly printed on the top bar, and she carefully wrote down the recruitment conditions and the address of the person in charge and the company, and then dialed it according to the number on the leaflet.
"Hello, this is the customer service hotline of Huaishui Co., Ltd."
She listened to the electronic female voice opposite, and still had some unreal feelings, so she asked tentatively:
"Hello, I would like to ask if your company has been recruiting at the talent recruitment conference in Huaibin Square in Linzhao City these days?"
"Yes, if you want to inquire about the relevant information, please contact the relevant person in charge of our human resources department, do you need to transfer?"
"No thanks. It's just that I saw someone from your company when I passed by today, but I didn't see your company's name on the bulletin board, so I was a little curious. β
"Okay, we will contact the person in charge of the talent exchange market for inquiries, thank you for the information, I wish you a happy life!"
Before she could say anything, the other side hung up the phone, her concerns were not completely dispelled, but whether she could pass the primary election was still a question, she smiled helplessly, after all, she might not necessarily go to this little-known small company, she was worried about what to do.
With that in mind, she put away the leaflet and lifted the mop to walk towards the water stains on the floor.
"Squeak-"
"Boom!"
"Bang!"
She jerked up to look at the blew open door, the cold wind pouring rain straight into the room.
She clearly remembered that the door was locked, could it be that the door on the opposite side was closed too hard and the lock on her side was loosened?
She put down her mop and looked at the intact lock on the door frame, and when she touched the iron lock with her fingertips, her eyes suddenly went dark.
Not long after she passed out, a teenager in a black raincoat walked to the door of room 303.
"Does it have to be this way? Isn't it good? β
As if talking to himself, he hesitantly pushed open the door.
He looked at the girl who fell to the ground, was stunned for a moment, and then bowed to her, "Sorry, sorry, I'm sorry to disturb!" β
As he spoke, he picked the woman up horizontally and laid her straight on the bed. He took a knife from his clothes and grabbed the girl's right hand with a trembling hand.
"Won't she wake up in pain? Does this deed have to be concluded? β
"Okay. Offended! β
He babbled and slashed his thumb with a knife, and cut the tip of the little finger of the girl's right hand, and pressed his bloody finger against the girl's bleeding fingertips.
The girl's hands were soft, and she tried to slip out of his hands several times.
"And then? Why didn't it work? β
As soon as the words fell, a burst of red light flashed, and the yin wind from nowhere poured into his ears, and he could vaguely hear the word "Qicheng" from it.
Immediately, a faint feeling of warmth came from the fingertips that he was in contact with the girl, and seeing the girl's body on the bed suddenly stiffened, she curled up suddenly, and her delicate facial features wrinkled together as if she was in extreme pain, he quickly let go of the girl's hand and tiptoed back to the door.
Looking up and seeing the swaying branches outside the window, the girl on the bed showed no signs of waking up, he came in again and covered the girl's body with a so-so quilt, and after gently closing the door, he escaped into the opposite room.
"Whewββ, scared to death! There won't be any more harmful things like this, right? β
He took out his headphones from his pocket and put them on, and looked at his freshly cut thumb, only to find that the wound had disappeared with blood at some point.
"The wound is gone? It doesn't look like it will be discovered. β
He slumped into the soft bed and let out a long breath.
