Chapter 13 Unemployment
In the busy city, office workers in the morning are crowded with buses, and Ma Guocai is also one of the busy ones. And I haven't grabbed a seat yet, I'm depressed! I can only stand, look around, hey, this woman's career line is good! Look at her face again, like a flower, your mother shouted that you went home for dinner, don't come out and be scary.
I finally arrived at the station and got off the train. On the way, I passed by a shop that sold breakfast and bought a soy milk and steamed buns. In the hot summer, the morning sun still looks scorching, bringing people a feeling of boredom.
Drinking soy milk, waiting at the intersection, looking at the crowded lanes, the screeching sound of the horns of various vehicles beeping. The crowd around him who were waiting like him all looked a little irritable. Most of them either use their hands, or they fan the wind with newspapers and other things to drive away the heat, and from time to time they touch the sweat beads on their heads with their hands. But he was dry and refreshing, eating steamed buns very calmly.
Maybe this is the benefit of opening up Xiao Zhoutian! Although it has not reached the realm of cold and heat, the body's resistance and quality seem to have improved a lot. Many people's faces are covered with beads of sweat in the morning, but he just feels that the sun is a little hot on his skin, but he does not feel hot in his body.
There is really a feeling that all living beings are in the red dust, but I am outside the red dust, and I feel really good.
"Be careful, don't trespass, it's still a red light!" a man's voice came from nearby.
Then a woman's voice came back with some anxiety and a little coquettishness: "What's wrong with the red light, don't you run the red light of the old lady? It's almost late!"
"Poof", Ma Guo just drank the soy milk in his mouth, and almost squirted it out. Looking for the sound, I saw a couple still pulling and pulling. Many people looked at the two of them with smiles on their faces, which made the two extremely embarrassed, the woman kept her head silent, and the man smiled awkwardly at everyone. Most of the men gave him a smile of understanding in return.
When I came to the company, people came almost one after another, said hello to everyone, and chatted a few words. I poured myself a glass of water, turned on the computer and sat down comfortably, and started the day's work again.
The central air conditioning of this building is really not good, and it is almost the same as if it is turned on or not. Although everyone complains, they can only do nothing.
In the afternoon, Sister Liu, who was in charge of finance, told him that the boss felt that your performance at work was not outstanding, and the company decided to open up sources and reduce expenses, so I was very embarrassed and had to fire you.
Ma Guocai could only smile and accept the company's arrangement. Later, I figured out that the boss saw that his three-month trial period was coming, and software like Photoshop would not be used, and many jobs could not help, so it was natural to dismiss at the end of the day.
After talking, Sister Liu settled his salary, took the more than 900 red tickets in her hand, and felt a little emotional in her heart, becoming an unemployed vagrant again.
I sorted out my things, threw them away, and finally found that I had nothing but a water glass and a pen.
You don't have to wait until you get off work, just leave.
When I went to the Internet café at night, I had to continue to submit my resume and look for a job. I waited for two days, but there was no phone call and no reply. On Saturday, it was said that there was a job fair in the talent market, and I rushed to the talent market.
Early in the morning, the talent market has shown signs of crowds, leaflets are flying everywhere, and all kinds of advertisements are punished. What hotels recruit public relations, insurance recruits salesmen, where to reduce prices, who buys second-hand home appliances, and even sells houses. Ma Guocai thought to himself, what kind of advertisements do you run here to sell houses, run here to find jobs, and a few people who can afford to buy houses. Looking at the stack of leaflets in my hand, I felt that if I couldn't find a job, I would simply squat here every day to collect advertising paper, and sell it to the scrap yard to earn dozens of yuan a day.
With his resume, he looked for a job that suited him in the crowd, but in the end, he didn't hand out a few, all of them were notices and other news.
In a blink of an eye, it was noon, and Ma Guo left the talent market, walked around the neighborhood, and just happened to arrive at the antique street. Suddenly, I was interested in it, and I decided to go shopping inside, I can't afford it, do I still look down on it?
He won't go into the antique shops with storefronts, but there are a lot of roadside stalls. Look at this, look at that, all kinds of stones, all kinds of strange stones. All kinds of antiques, calligraphy and paintings, clocks and watches, ancient coins, Bodhisattvas, pottery, jade agate, etc., Ma Guo felt that he was a long insight. Occasionally ask about the price, nice little stones, ten, twenty. Ancient coins, the price is five yuan and ten yuan. The Oriental swords that appeared in the war in Japan were only four or five hundred.
Seeing that there were onlookers in front of him, Ma Guocai also walked over, it turned out that he was selling a pottery jar, about the size of a soup bowl, I don't know what kind of pottery it is. Half a basin of water was filled in it, and the seller rubbed both sides of the clay jar vigorously at the same time, and there was a low-frequency humming oscillation sound in the clay jar. After listening to the price, it was only more than 400 yuan. It's a little exciting, but when I think of having so much money on me, I'm still going to forget it.
After a few turns inside, I found that the prices inside were not high, and there were very few things for thousands of yuan. He estimated that most of the objects were probably imitations, or just modern or simply modern artefacts.
In fact, he can't identify antiques, after shopping for so long, he finally stopped at a jade stall, it seems that the jade pendants on this are very simple, and the workmanship is not that kind of fine products, there are dragons and phoenixes, double fishes, bodhisattvas and gossip jade pendants, just a stall is spread there, and there are a lot of similar products. I asked the boss about the price, and the boss said that the jade pendants below were twenty yuan each. After speaking, he chatted with the stall owner next to him, and he looked very unconcerned.
After listening to it, he had a feeling, it was really cheap. But I also understand that there must be some modern imitations inside, and it is not certain whether it is jade or not. I touched it, looked at it again, and thought it was all about the same. Suddenly, a yellow gossip-shaped jade pendant entered Ma Guocai's sight, and he picked it up. It feels a little strange to hold in your hand, because this jade pendant feels very comfortable in your hand.
But compared with other jade pendants, at first glance, it is no different. Ma Guocai picked up the same shape of jade pendant and compared it, and took a closer look, and found that this jade pendant that felt more comfortable looked more quaint. How to say it, this jade pendant seems to have an aura of age, but it can't be seen, it is completely a feeling of the sixth consciousness.
Immediately, I decided that I bought it, and it was not expensive, maybe I missed it today. took out twenty yuan and handed it to the boss, and asked him for a red rope wearing a jade pendant by the way. After wearing it, it hangs directly around the neck, and I think it's pretty good.
I didn't have the heart to wander around anymore, so I went straight home.
