Chapter 13 Chapter Thirteen

"Oh, it's all right! Xiao Yin and Xiao Tang, right! Come in, come in, I'm looking for you!" Ma Gobi pretended to greet you enthusiastically, and then waved his hands: "Old Sun, you go back first, I'm here If you want to receive people, I will report your matter to the leader! Go back!" The old man didn't say anything when he saw Yin Hui and Tang Yan coming in, he just nodded politely to them, turned and left the office. "Director Ma, do you... have anything to do with us?" To be honest, Yin Hui really wanted to kick the fat man in front of him like a trash can. The unfinished ones were covered with oil, and the disgusting braised pork-like wretched man was kicked away.But after Yin Hui took a deep breath, he forced himself to show a smile like a spring breeze to the man who made his stomach nausea to the extreme, and opened his mouth with a voice that made his skin crawl.

The fat man Yin Hui called Director Ma was named Ma Gobi.Like his name, he really looks like the group of grass mud horses living on the Mala Gobi.With a weight of nearly two hundred catties, it is estimated that Yin Hui could be crushed to death.But the reason why Yin Hui didn't dare to kick one of them away was because this guy worked in the same unit as Yin Hui, and he was also his immediate boss, and he had the nickname "Boilerman" known to the entire unit. Ma Gobi's identity in the funeral home is the director of the personnel department. He has a lot of power in his hands. Of course, he is not a boiler worker who burns boilers.The reason why he has such a nickname is because his characteristic is to stir up trouble.

A fart thing, in front of the factory manager, he can say it like a NATO attack on Libya.Being late for a minute, and saying it out of his mouth, the impact would be as bad as driving a big forklift to shovel 99.99% of the company. All in all, this fat man is a person who is hated by everyone in the crematorium, and everyone wants to hang him alive. It is estimated that from the establishment of the funeral home to the present, there are countless people in their hearts who want to pull this man out to light the sky lanterns thought.To be honest, everyone in the funeral home knew that Ma Gobi was good at nothing other than fanning the flames and making small reports.But so far, he is still alive and well.And live more moistly than anyone else.And all the people who offended him seemed to end badly.

There is only one reason, and it is because Ma Gobi happens to be the nephew of the new factory director. "How long have you been here?" Ma Gobi said enthusiastically as he tidied up the documents on his desk. "Oh, just arrived, just arrived!" Yin Hui said. "Come, come, sit down! Don't be nervous, I have something to tell you!" "Pretend you didn't hear what Elder Sun said to me just now! That dead old man pestered me all day to arrange work for his daughter, how could it be so easy?" "I know, I know!" Yin Hui nodded with a smile on his face.

"Our business volume has increased a lot in the past few years, and the burden on the existing employees has also become heavier. In order to relieve everyone's pressure, the organization decided to recruit two more makeup artists. Although this industry has a bad reputation, the salary is quite good. It's impressive, there are quite a few college students who signed up this time, and we can only select the best. I'm really not very good at personnel assessment. After thinking about it, you and Xiao Tang are just right. You don’t need to work anymore, just be responsible for selecting your future colleagues!”

Ma Gobi turned around and poured a glass of boiling water. "it is good!" "Well! That's it, you two go to prepare now, report to Lao Zhou first, and then give them an assessment! Check it out carefully." Ma Gobi waved to the two of them, indicating that they can leave. The two walked out of Ma Gobi's office, and walked along the gloomy corridor to the No. 1 dressing room where they usually work. Along the way, Tang Yan walked with Yin Hui coldly and arrogantly, which attracted several lonely people to envy her gaze. "Tang Yan, I've always wanted to ask, why did you choose to work here?" Yin Hui held back for a long time, and finally struck up a conversation with her.

"It's clean here, without the feeling of hustle and bustle! And the salary is very high, I need such a job!" Tang Yan raised her red lips, every word sounded so full of temptation. "Then you, a girl, aren't afraid?" "Scared! There is nothing to be afraid of. There is nothing to fear from the dead. Only the living are scary!" Tang Yan said. "It makes sense!" Having said that, we arrived at our destination.There are two corpses in the dressing room, and Zhou Haiqing is putting makeup on one of them. Although the white and miserable corpse looks a little scary, at least he can't move, unlike a living person who always has endless plots, Yin Hui Gradually, he understood the meaning of Tang Yan's words.

"Oh, you're here! I've made a note. Ma Gobi came over today and said he wanted to recruit two apprentices. That's it, I don't need to be too tired!" Zhou Haiqing raised the eyebrow pencil in his hand and slapped Yin Hui call. "Master Zhou, why are you the only one here?" Yin Hui looked at his busy look and asked casually. "Oh, there were originally two, but my master just retired last month, so I'm the only one left. Make-up work is a delicate job. This city is big, and people are dying every day. I can't come alone, so The factory is just planning to recruit a few more apprentices to share the burden!" Zhou Haiqing said to Yin Hui with a smile, he is not very good-looking, but he has a good heart and is an easy-going character.

"Then you can be regarded as a fool, accept a group of apprentices in advance, even the apprenticeship ceremony is enough for you to drink a pot!" Yin Hui said deliberately jokingly. "Forget it! It's useless to set it up, people's hearts are in the belly, as long as these newcomers treat me sincerely! Look at that old Sun's apprentice, now that he is an official, he has forgotten his master! Ask him to do it." Just pushing and blocking things! You have no conscience!" Zhou Haiqing quickly waved his hands at them. "Hey! I just heard Elder Sun arguing with him in Director Ma's office. What's going on?" Driven by curiosity, Yin Hui began to inquire about the news.

"Ma Gobi was originally a cremator. You know that Mr. Sun is his master. That kid is rather cunning. He climbed up to the position of director by relying on his family connections, and broke away from the people below. Mr. Sun's My daughter is graduating this year, but that girl has some disabilities in her hands. She originally said she would take care of her job, but that girl can't do the work of a make-up artist, so she can only go to the front desk to receive her. However, the person surnamed Ma and the director of the funeral parlor, because of the civil affairs department The leader of the company wanted to arrange for a relative to come in, so he pushed Mrs. Sun's daughter. So Mrs. Sun was very sad, hey! You must not go out and talk nonsense!" Zhou Haiqing's words made Yin Hui finally understand the quarrel just now. The reason, sighed in my heart, it turns out that the dirty commonality of this society has long been ingrained, and even funeral parlors cannot escape bad luck.

"Oh, I won't talk nonsense!" Yin Hui said confidently, and squinted at Tang Yan again. The latter smiled and shook his head gently. "That's good, that's good!" Zhou Haiqing nodded. After all, people are under the roof, and there are some things that are worthy of scruples. "Old Sun has worked very hard, he is so old and still so busy!" Yin Hui couldn't help but began to sympathize with the poor old man. "Hey! That's right! Mr. Sun's wife died in his early years, and he has always lived with his daughter. His daughter is still disabled, which is really pitiful! Fortunately, the work of cremation is not too tiring. You only need to put the body in and burn it, and turn it over with a hook. Just turn it over, it's no different from grilling a steak." Zhou Haiqing said without raising his head. "Eh..." Tang Yan immediately covered her mouth, feeling a desire to spit out all the food she ate today, yesterday, and the day before yesterday. Yin Hui also frowned, but she didn't show it. "What's the matter, Xiao Tang, did you lose your stomach?" Zhou Haiqing was a little surprised, his mind was a little dull, and he couldn't react for a while. "Oh! Oh, it's nothing, it's nothing..." Yin Hui hugged Tang Yan to his shoulder, and smiled awkwardly. "I'm sorry, there's nothing to be embarrassed about, the toilet is in the building opposite, don't hold back..." Zhou Haiqing looked more anxious than others. Although he was warm-hearted, it was obvious that he was in the wrong place. "No..." Tang Yan clenched her teeth, feeling ashamed. If she was given a knife, she might stab it without hesitation. "Master Zhou, you misunderstood, she is just feeling a little uncomfortable, Tang Yan, isn't she?" Yin Hui's head was full of black lines, knowing that if he let this little cannon talk, he didn't know what would happen. Quickly played a smooth game. "Not feeling well?" Zhou Haiqing opened his mouth wide. "Hmm..." Tang Yan had no choice but to blushed and nodded. "Oh, look at my mouth, haha! I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Zhou Haiqing slapped his thigh suddenly, pretending to have suddenly realized. "It's okay, it's okay." Yin Hui shook off his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhou Haiqing's next sentence almost choked him to death. "Sister Tang must be pregnant, right? Xiao Yin, congratulations, congratulations! It's been a few months, let's go, my brother will buy you a drink after get off work." Tang Yan's eyes darkened, and she fell limply into Yin Hui's arms, while Yin Hui froze in place, completely petrified... what?What are these! The funeral parlor is different from other places anyway. It bears too much sorrow. Although the staff has long been numb, everyone who comes here to see off their loved ones is still very sad. After walking a few steps, they found that The families of many of the deceased were weeping on the sidelines. Yin Hui and Tang Yan walked out of Zhou Haiqing as if they were fleeing, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes.I had to bypass these crying people, passed through several gates of the office building, and came to the main hall of the funeral parlor. The corridor here was quiet, but the chairs on both sides of the corridor were full of applicants. All of them had serious expressions on their faces, as if they were all here to attend a funeral, not to apply for a job, but the atmosphere here is really hard to make people lively. There was even a girl with a pale face and sweat on her forehead, covering her mouth with a handkerchief, as if Especially not used to the atmosphere here, Yin Hui was really worried about her seeing her suffering.What a girl, why did you come to suffer and apply for this job? He smiled helplessly, picked an empty seat, sat down, and waited quietly. From the faces of the applicants, Yin Hui can see that they are all young, and the colorful graduation certificates in the bags they carry indicate that they are all college students. It seems that it is really really hard to find a stable job these days It's not easy, just like myself back then. After a while, a tall, thin man in his forties with a blue work card hanging on his chest came out with a stack of materials, and distributed a paper recruitment application form to everyone in the corridor who came to apply for the job. It is required to fill in some basic information such as "name, gender, place of origin, date of birth, graduate school...", which is almost common in this society. A boy quickly filled out the basic information, thought about it for a while on the registration post, and then wrote down "receptionist" heavily. When he filled it out, I let out a sigh of relief, looking relieved .When I looked up and remembered to hand in the materials, I suddenly felt that the tall and thin man was staring straight at the things he had filled out. The tall and thin man coughed and pointed his pointed finger at the "application position" filled by the boy. place, shook his head firmly.The boy didn't know what he meant by shaking his head. He just felt that his eyes seemed unwilling to fill in the "receptionist" by himself. The boy looked at his face suspiciously, but couldn't figure out what it meant? "It's been fixed! Changed!" The tall, thin man said with a facial expression, and left the boy's side to collect other people's registration forms. "Internal decision?" This word moved Yin Hui's heart, and it really was a good show for the surname Ma. "Okay, there are four people who signed up today. Including the four people who signed up two days ago, there are eight people in total. Everyone is here today. I need to tell you a few words. The occupation of a funeral home is quite special, because You have to face dead bodies frequently, I guess some of you will not be able to overcome this psychological barrier, so we will conduct a certain test on the applicants, and we will consider the issue of retaining those who pass!" The tall and thin man pinched his throat Said, after finishing one sentence, there has already been a lot of discussion below. "Okay, okay, let's stop arguing. There is one more thing to say. Due to the staffing problem, we decided not to recruit for the position of 'front desk receptionist'. All the students who applied for the position applied for ' Corpse make-up artist', this profession directly contacts dead bodies, so if you feel that you are not qualified for the job, you can go back now!" Before the thin and tall man finished speaking, the pale-faced girl couldn't hold it anymore, and vomited "Wow!" When I got up, I didn't even take my belongings, and left as if I was running away, causing the rest of the students to be in an uproar and at a loss. "Leader, why are you still advertising the position of 'receptionist' in the newspaper? We all came here for this position, so why did you change your mind? Is there something inside the story?" Two couples, a man and a woman, stood up and yelled at the tall and thin man. "This is decided by the leader. I don't know why. Don't make random guesses!" The tall and thin man's complexion suddenly changed, and his livid face looked terrifying under the dim light. "Hmph! Then let's go! Who would want to put makeup on the dead!" The couple left the corridor arm in arm and disdainfully. When they walked to Yin Hui's side, they still cast contemptuous glances. "Hmph! I don't want to put makeup on the dead, and no one will do it to you in the future!" Tang Yan sneered and muttered in a low voice, but Yin Hui, who was standing beside him, heard the words clearly. Knowing this little girl's temper at work, she gritted her teeth and remained silent. "Okay, now there are only five students left. You seem to be well prepared, and you may be brave. After all, their departure is a good thing for you, because after all, there are only two positions!" Nodding in satisfaction, he threw a stack of forms in his hand to Yin Hui, signaling that he was in charge of the rest, and then walked into his office. Yin Hui quickly looked at the resume on the form, looked around with sharp eyes, and smiled coldly.
