"Hello, is it Mr. Tang Tang?" the voice on the phone was very sweet.

“......”

"I saw your resume online, are you looking for a job now?"

“......”

"That's right, I'm the HR manager of the Indian Ocean Insurance Company, and now there is a vacant management position that is very suitable for you, when do you think it is convenient to come for an interview?

"You typed the wrong ......"

"Uh...... I'm sorry, aren't you Mr. Tang Tang? What do you call you? Need to find a job? We have a vacant management position here, if you are interested, you can come for an interview at any time. Note that it's a management position!"

"I ...... Qin Shi Huang. ”

"Toot-toot-toot-toot-"

Tang Yi threw his phone aside and continued to sleep.

Three months after graduating from college, he still hasn't found a job, so he can only live in a rented house with his classmates, and pass the long nights with novels and games.

It's not that I didn't look for a job, but I really couldn't find it.

As a recent college graduate, it is always difficult to get started. Large companies look down on his school, and small companies don't hire inexperienced fresh graduates.

Last time, a female classmate finally jumped ship and gave up the vacated clerical position to Tang Tao. After three rounds of interviews, Tang Lu finally met a fat supervisor with a fat head and big ears, and then listened to the fat supervisor talk about the truth for an afternoon.

“...... Xiao Tang, if the company is a wall, then the employees are the bricks on this wall, without the company's cultivation, the stone will not become a useful brick. So no matter what time it is, you must not forget the company's cultivation of you, and where there is a need on the wall, you have to fill in the ......"

"Yes, I'm Tang Brick. Tang Lu thought to himself.

A supervisor-level leader spends an afternoon chatting with himself about the "brick theory", to put it bluntly, he wants to brainwash himself so that the company can squeeze it to its heart's content. The subtext behind this should be that the company has decided to hire you.

Tang Lu is very excited, as the saying goes, everything is difficult at the beginning, he can find his first job, it doesn't matter if he is a cow or a horse, he is not afraid.

And then—

Then there was no more, and the fat supervisor told him to go back and wait for news, and he waited for a month.

In the end, the female classmate who introduced the job told him on WeChat that the fat supervisor who interviewed her was actually the canteen supervisor in the company and the future father-in-law of the boss's third cousin's youngest son. Because the personnel manager felt that Tang Liu's constellation did not match the company's temperament, he called the canteen supervisor to come over and fool around.

After knowing the truth, Tang Lu immediately blocked this female classmate.

In addition, the calls received by Tang Yi can be roughly summarized into three categories:

Insurance, fraud, pyramid schemes.

If you record his experience of being deceived in the past three months, it can almost be written into a "History of Blood and Tears in Job Hunting".

Tang Lu continued to sleep, but it was less than a minute before the mobile phone rang again, and he answered it casually.

“......”

“......”

Ten seconds passed, and neither side spoke.

Tang Xian couldn't help it. Did the personnel manager of the Indian Ocean Insurance Company not hear Qin Shi Huang's jokes, or did he really believe that he was Qin Shi Huang and was in a hurry to pay for it?

"I, Qin Shi Huang!" Tang said loudly again.

"I, Lü Buwei. A deep man's voice came from the phone.

"What the hell?"

"I'm your dad!"

............

Xincheng Railway Station, North Square, father and son reunion.

Tang Lu's hometown is a small county town in the northwest, thousands of kilometers away from Xincheng, and he can only come to the big city by being admitted to university. But how could the old Tang, who had never been far away, come to Xincheng with a surprise attack this time, spending more than 40 hours and taking a rare green train to Xincheng?

Could this be the legendary father-son relationship?

Looking at Old Tang's stumbling figure, Tang Tang's eyes were a little moist.

"Smack!"

As soon as Old Tang came up, he slapped him loudly, stunned Tang Liu, who was brewing emotions.

"Your mother died early, and it was all up to Lao Tzu to feed you with a handful of shit and urine, and it was not easy to ask someone to leave a job for you in the power bureau of your hometown, but you refused to come back? Lao Tzu asked you, do you have to stay here and find a job?"

Tang Lu didn't know where Old Tang got such a big anger, but in the face of this series of soul torture, he still straightened his waist and said a famous sentence of the second middle school youth:

"A cup of tea and a newspaper can mix all day's life, I don't need it, and I don't want it!"

"......" Old Tang raised his hand, almost another slap in the face.

"I've just graduated, if I go back now, wouldn't I let those people in my hometown see jokes and say that I don't have the ability to stay in the big city? Now that I've come to Xincheng, even if I eat instant noodles and sleep on the street, I have to break through for a few more years - youth who has not struggled is not called youth!"

Tang Xuan's attitude was very resolute.

It's a pity that he doesn't know that the longer a frustrated person breaks outside, the more shameless he will return to his hometown.

But this time, Old Tang didn't get angry, but suddenly sighed and silently lit a cigarette.

"Your grandmother left last month and accidentally fell down the hospital stairs and broke her head on the spot. I didn't tell you because I was afraid that it would disturb you looking for a job. If you go back to your hometown when you graduate, you will still have time to see her for the last time. ”

"Really?" Tang was a little moved.

Speaking of grandma, in fact, there is not much intersection with herself. Because since he can remember, his grandmother has been a madman and has been living in a mental hospital, and only during the New Year's holidays, Old Tang will take him to see her once.

I still remember one year on Chinese New Year's Eve, father and son accompanied their grandmother to watch the Spring Festival Gala in the hospital ward. Just when Old Tang went out to buy cigarettes, his grandmother, who was originally weak, suddenly sat up from the hospital bed and shouted at Tang Xuan:

"Run! Run! He's coming...... He's finally here!"

At that time, there were only two people in the ward, Tang Lu and grandma, although a little scared, Tang Lu still approached grandma and wanted to help her lie down.

Who knew that grandma suddenly grabbed Tang Yan's neck and showed a hideous smile:

"You're here...... I'll strangle you!"

If it hadn't been for the old Tang who went out to buy cigarettes and rushed back in time, even if Tang Lu didn't die that night, he would have gone into shock on the spot.

In this regard, Tang Lu still has lingering palpitations.

I didn't expect my grandmother to fall down the stairs and walk away silently. For her, it may have been a relief.

Tang Yi could only comfort himself like this.

Just when Tang Lu was reminiscing about the past, Old Tang had already finished smoking a whole cigarette, and his face was getting more and more ugly.

"I came to Xincheng to find you this time, in fact, it has something to do with your grandmother's death...... Let's not talk about it for a while, you go to a place with me immediately, if this matter is not resolved, I'm afraid even I won't live long. The corners of Old Tang's mouth twitched slightly.

Tang Lu was suddenly startled, and the father and son looked at each other.

Old Don's eyes told him that it wasn't a joke.

But no matter how Tang Tao asked, Old Tang just refused to reveal it, and only said that he would rush to a place immediately. So Tang Lu touched his shriveled pocket, gritted his teeth and said:

"Let's go, take a taxi!"

............

"Where are you going?" the taxi driver asked Tang Lu, who was sitting in the front seat.

"Where are you going?" asked Tang Lao, who was sitting in the back row.

"......" sat in the back row of the old Tang.

"You don't even know where you're going?" Tang Tao asked, anxious.

"Go to this address. Old Don finally spoke, and then handed over a note.

Could it be that Old Tang has Alzheimer's disease and doesn't even know the words? Tang Lu snatched the note and read out the address aloud:

"Master, go to No. 250 Beihai Road, Xincheng Shenglong Huohu Men's Hospital!"

"......" drivers.

"......" Old Tang bowed his head.

"......" Tang Tao wanted to slap himself.

No, I want to slap the old Tang sitting in the back.

The awkward atmosphere lasted for at least 30 seconds. Fortunately, the drivers in Xincheng are still very professional, playing the meter, hanging gears, and starting, all in one go. Then he looked at the father and son in the car again, and showed an embarrassed but polite smile:

"Can this be inherited?"
