Chapter 7 Section 1 Finding a job is like finding a partner

Lin Chong put down his wine bowl, bid farewell to Lu Zhishen, and embarked on a difficult journey of job hunting.From then on, he began to transform from an officer to a hero in the rivers and lakes. In our words today, he "goes into the sea".Unexpectedly, the dangers of the rivers and lakes and the difficulty of making a living are far beyond his initial imagination.He looked for a job everywhere, bumped into walls everywhere, and his heart was full of uncomfortable frustration.In fact, it is not difficult to find a job, the difficulty is to find a decent job.Since ancient times, it is difficult for a hero to bow his head. As a man, a man who prides himself on being a hero, can't be reduced to the point of carrying dishes and washing dishes, right?

Someone joked that the process of finding a job is a bit like a woman choosing a husband. She doesn't want her if she has no money, and she doesn't want her if she has money. Years are wasted in choosing and choosing.Some people also say that looking for a job is like looking for a partner. Instead of enduring a full stomach of grievances in the midst of frustration, it is better to hold on to a little hope in the selection.Lin Chong, who prides himself on being a hero, is actually just like that old woman who clings to a little hope, falling more and more into poverty.Later, he couldn't even pay the rent, and was kicked out by the landlord in a snowy day. He even went to the mountain temple to stay overnight, and staged a tragic drama of "Fengxue Mountain Temple".

In the midst of poverty, Lin Chong unexpectedly meets an old friend named Li Xiaoer.When Li Xiaoer was living on the street, he was rescued by Lin Chong.Now that Lin Chong is poor and destitute, Li Xiaoer took him home for food and drink, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness. "For finding a job, it's best to be recommended by a noble person." Li Xiaoer accompanied Lin Chong for a drink, and said thoughtfully, "If you can get a recommendation from a noble person, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort." "Yes!" Lin Chong sighed, "Where is this noble man?"

Li Xiaoer said: "I heard that there is a famous official Chai Jin in Jianghu. Why don't you go and look for him? Maybe he is your nobleman." Lin Chong's eyes lit up.Speaking of this Chai Daguan, Lin Chong has been famous for a long time.It is said that he is a descendant of the former emperor Chai Rong.After Chai Rong's death, his youngest son Chai Zongxun succeeded to the throne. Zhao Kuangyin and his generals seized the opportunity to usurp the Chai family's power, and thus established the foundation of the Song Dynasty for three hundred years.Today, Chai Jin, a senior official of Chai, has a bold personality and is willing to help others. He has excellent popularity in both officialdom and business.He runs a manor in Cangzhou, where bosses often come and go to get together on weekdays, and he is quite influential in the world.

It is better to meet than to be famous.Mr. Chai really treated people warmly. He first prepared a sumptuous banquet, then changed Lin Chong into a new suit, and then invited Lin Chong to his study to talk, like two old friends reunited after a long absence.After Lin Chong had been down for a long time, he suddenly felt the warmth of the spring breeze, and he couldn't help but secretly sigh in his heart. After the mountains and rivers are exhausted, the willows are indeed bright, and now the nobleman is here! "Chai has always admired heroes like Coach Lin, so I am very glad to have the opportunity to do something for you." Chai Jin said in a deep voice, "I am afraid that the job I recommend is not commensurate with your status. dishonor your reputation."

Lin Chong laughed at himself and said: "I am in a difficult situation, I just want to get a living, so I don't care about my reputation!" Chai Jin smiled slightly and said: "Teacher Lin is just in trouble for a while, so don't let your ambition be short. Now go to Jizhou, Shandong, and there is a company called Liangshan Industrial Co., Ltd., but it is quite large. I will give it to you. Write a letter of recommendation and you can settle there first."
