Chapter 10 Section ten

Just when Ajiao got into the bathroom and started rubbing Hao Dongxi's back, the three of Qian Liangliang were eating and drinking at Grandma Hong's soy sauce stall.In name, it was supper, but after entering the restaurant, Qian Liangliang ordered the housekeeping dishes of Hong Ama Ginger Duck, Soy Sauce Water Gold Thread Fish, Garlic Squid Roll, Flower Clam and Green Beans on his own initiative. Lumen specialty soil bamboo shoot jelly, cold jellyfish head as a cold dish, and then asked the waiter to bring a case of beer, and finally each of them ordered a bowl of sand tea noodles. Qian Liangliang ordered dishes on his own here, while Xiong Bao and Li Shasha looked at each other in blank dismay.There are three possibilities for Qian Liangliang's self-assertion: one is that he has made up his mind to pay for it himself; the other is that he has made up his mind to eat others; The emotion of breaking the jar.Both Xiong Bao and Li Shasha were honest and kind, they didn't think too much about the first two possibilities, and they all focused on the third possibility, so when Qian Liangliang finished lighting up the dishes, Li Shasha tentatively began to persuade Qian Liangliang: "Brother Qian , you are a good person, it’s better not to do the job of washing feet, but it might be better to change to another job.”

Xiong Bao also said: "God can't starve a blind sparrow to death." Qian Liangliang let them speak in a daze, blinked his eyes to understand the sympathy, concern and worry on their faces, and then understood what they meant, and couldn't help laughing: "You two, put me Who do you think you are? You think this is Zhang Luo’s last dinner party? I’m happy tonight, you kid..." Qian Liangliang pointed at the bear bag, "I almost broke my arm. It still hurts, but I'm happy. Well, it's good to meet a good person like you. This is fate. Come on, let's not get drunk tonight. Let's finish the first drink, Lisa is a girl, you can do whatever you want, the two of us The man did it."

Xiong Bao quickly picked up the wine glass to accompany Qian Liangliang to finish the drink.Li Shasha dipped her lips on the wine glass as if to accompany her.Seeing that she was not drinking, Qian Liangliang immediately called the waiter and ordered a bottle of fruit orange for her.Li Shasha wanted to dissuade her, but before she had time, the dexterous waiter had already slipped over and opened a bottle of fruit oranges, so Li Shasha had no choice but to let it go. After such an ups and downs at night, I was a little hungry, Qian Liangliang yelled that the sand tea noodles should be served first, one bowl for each person.This restaurant is a family workshop, and the owner is Grandma Hong. The son, daughter-in-law, daughter, son-in-law, grandson, granddaughter, grandson, granddaughter and other family members work together at the restaurant, serving as chefs, waiters and other roles.The restaurant has been open for a long time, the procedures are proficient, and the food is served very quickly. A bowl of sand tea noodles has just entered the stomach, and all kinds of dishes ordered have been served like water, so several people began to drink and eat calmly.

After drinking three rounds, one round and one dry, the two men were a little drunk, their faces were radiant and their spirits were high, as if they had just made a lot of money from the stock market.He also started talking more and more. Qian Liangliang began to count down the grassroots civilians he came into contact with after arriving at Lumen. He felt that only after arriving at Lumen did he really know what society is. That mouth is like a damaged faucet, a set of principles and philosophy The speculation flowed out endlessly, Xiongbao and Li Shasha blinked their eyes, and they admired him so much.Xiong Bao also began to utter long sentences, from the time his father gave him this unlucky name, to the owner of the rampant restaurant, this scolding lasted for more than 20 years, which made Li Shasha "giggle" and laughed .

Qian Liangliang has a problem with drinking, he starts to feel sad after the first bottle, and the world immediately becomes black and white.After the second bottle, the overcast will turn cloudy, and life will gradually gain some flavor.After the third bottle, you will feel happy, excited, and proud, and after drinking it, you will be depressed and enter the gray world.His emotional curve when drinking is consistent with the sinusoidal curve of the electric current, which fluctuates up and down with the flow.I just got fired today, and after drinking a bottle of beer, my mood is heavier than the first bottle of beer in the past.Being fired again, he didn't care much financially. What he cared about was that his self-confidence was hit hard again. Thinking that he couldn't even do a job as a foot cleaner, his self-confidence dropped to freezing point.For everything I have experienced, including the sense of accomplishment when I wrote those manuscripts when I was the secretary of the municipal party committee, the glitz when I was the head of the reception office, and the satisfaction when the business was booming when I opened a restaurant, all these are in the face of cruel reality. All covered with a veil of shame.Because, reality tells him that without that system, he doesn't even have the basic ability to survive, let alone make money and make a fortune.Thinking of these, he felt ashamed, lost, and life was dull.

After Liangliang restaurant was eaten up by former colleagues of the municipal party committee and the municipal government, the mayor, Aunt Jiang, once suggested that he return to work in the municipal government, and clearly told him that this was what Secretary Wang meant.His wife, Juzi, also strongly urged him to go through the formalities and go back to the office to find a job and continue to have official meals.At that time, he was full of stubbornness, and he didn't believe that with his own ability, he could starve to death after leaving the municipal government that owed him food and drink debts and refused to pay back, so he followed the acquaintance at the dinner party. Zhuang Congming, the boss of Jinjiang, Fujian Province, went to Lumen to explore the world.Zhuang Congming first caught Qian Liangliang's attention because of his extremely immodest name.After arriving at Lumen, Qian Liangliang realized that using adjectives for names is a hobby of people in this area. For example, it is not uncommon to use the word clever as a name in Lumen. Zheng Congming, Jia Congming, Huang Congming, Hong Congming Smart All kinds of smarts abound.

When hosting a dinner at Qian Liangliang's site, Zhuang Congming was a modest, funny, and generous boss who left a good impression on Qian Liangliang.Zhuang Congming also greatly appreciated Qian Liangliang's move to open the Liangliang restaurant because he was not the director of the government's reception office.After Qian Liangliang followed him to Lumen, Zhuang Congming was pretty good at first. He gave Qian Liangliang twice as much salary as the director in Jinzhou City, and also gave him a nominal position of vice president.He was also very polite when speaking to Qian Liangliang, one by one Mr. Qian and Mr. Qian, which was completely different from his employees.Corresponding to this treatment, Qian Liangliang has to complete more than one million business every year. If he fails to complete the business, not only will he not be able to get a commission, but he will also be deducted from the monthly salary that has been paid in accordance with the corresponding proportion.

When he got the contract, Qian Liangliang thought to himself, if he has the ability to make more than one million profits every year, is it necessary to work for Zhuang Congming?Zhuang Congming is worthy of the word "smart". Qian Liangliang didn't say what he said, but he has already explained: "Mr. Qian, you may think, if you can earn more than one million a year, why should you work for me?" Ah? In fact, the key to earning one million is not about personal ability, but whether there is a platform that can earn one million. I have provided you with a platform now, including funds, invoices, and transportation channels. Without these, you may not be able to make money So easy, think about your restaurant, why..."

Qian Liangliang is most afraid of others mentioning the word "restaurant", which is his Waterloo, the scar in his heart, and the label of what he can't do.When the municipal party committee, municipal government, district party committee, and district government officials at all levels went to Liangliang restaurant to eat and drink, Juzi warned him that he must insist on eating and paying, and don't accumulate it and not get back the bill later. It's troublesome.But he was very confident, thinking that those cadres who came to binge eat and drink were colleagues and buddies in the past. They came to support and help. Not only should they be allowed to sign the bill, but they must also provide them with the best service.In the end, Juzi’s worry became a prophecy, and the nightmare came true. In one year, the officials of the municipal party committee and government signed more than 500,000 yuan in meal expenses. The city refused to write off the meal expenses. received a loan of over 100,000 yuan.Juzi was so angry that he scolded Qian Liangliang for being a prodigal, and used his family savings to repay Qian Liangliang's loan.Juzi encouraged Qian Liangliang to go to the court to sue those guys who didn’t pay for meals. Qian Liangliang was unwilling to sue because of face, and he knew in his heart that even if he sued, he would not be able to get back the meal fee, and would offend his friends and buddies instead. With nothing left, he had no choice but to announce the closure of the restaurant, and followed Zhuang Congming to Lumen to beat gongs and drums to reopen again. In his own words, it was the beginning of a new life.

The new life is not as optimistic as imagined. Qian Liangliang is not a lucky man, and Zhuang Congming is not a philanthropist. He brought Qian Liangliang to Lumen to take advantage of his connections in Jinzhou create economic benefits.But Qian Liangliang is just unwilling to have any interest relationship with Jinzhou City. He is most afraid that people will say that he will not be able to survive if he leaves Jinzhou City. The "other people" include his wife, Orange.As a result, it is conceivable that Qian Liangliang couldn't play a role in generating income, Zhuang Congming immediately changed his face, and his high salary quickly shrunk, and in the end he was only given a basic salary to survive.What Qian Liangliang couldn't accept the most was his attitude. He began to call and shout at Qian Liangliang, just like treating a wage earner with poor performance.Behind his back, Zhuang Congming told others that now he is very helpless towards Qian Liangliang, and the only way is to bite the bullet and keep him. Who told him that he didn't have eyes and brought him from Jinzhou City? Now that he brought him , You can't watch him starve to death in Lumen.These words reached Qian Liangliang's ears intentionally or unintentionally, and Qian Liangliang's only choice was to leave.

He left Zhuang Congming, but did not leave Lumen City.Lumen City captivated Qian Liangliang with its feminine charm and purity like a daughter from the southern country.The islands with mountains and rivers, full of vitality, fresh red flowers and green leaves all year round, and fresh and humid oceanic climate, compared with the inland city of Jinzhou City, Qian Liangliang believes that this place is a paradise on earth.Lumen people are kind, hardworking, generous and tolerant, without the narrow sense of xenophobia that other metropolises have.Qian Liangliang does not have any sense of psychological barrier or spiritual depression when interacting with local people.In addition, Qian Liangliang subconsciously felt that if he left Lumen, it would be another failure in his life, which would not only make Jinzhou people laugh, but also Zhuang Congming.Therefore, he stayed unswervingly. At that time, he still believed that with his own ability and hard work, he would definitely be able to survive and develop in Lumen City.Since then, Qian Liangliang has started an endless cycle of job hunting, getting fired and firing others.Qian Liangliang found that no matter what diploma he has or what experience he has, everything here is equal to zero.In today's labor market, the white-collar class has closed the door to people of his age. If you want to find a job that can give full play to your strengths, there are only two situations: one is coincidence, and the other is luck. Unfortunately, he has neither of them. .What frustrates Qian Liangliang the most is that he no longer knows what his specialties are.Is it a specialty to be a secretary for a long time and write articles?Looking back at those government documents written in the past, 80% of them are copied and cloned.What kind of skill is it to be the head of the reception desk, to greet and send off to eat and drink with you all day long?Nowadays, recruiting jobs similar to secretaries and receptions are called clerks and public relations. First, they must be female, second, they must be young, and third, they must be quick and able to sneak and shoot.Qian Liangliang can't get into any of these things. Compared with the secretaries and public relations of the new generation, Qian Liangliang is neither special nor good, so he has to give up the idea of ​​being a white-collar worker and work hard as a blue-collar worker.What he didn't expect was that he couldn't do well with blue-collar workers. It wasn't that he didn't want to work hard, but that he didn't have the skills to be a blue-collar worker.Nowadays, most occupations require qualification certificates. Without those vocational skill qualification certificates, you can only do some labor and small labor jobs. Liang couldn't hold on until today, and ran back to Jinzhou long ago.Now, rather than saying that he develops in Lumen (Qian Liangliang explained this to those who care about him in Jinzhou), it is better to say that he will die in Lumen, or until God opens his eyes and let him get what he wants, or until he can’t bear it anymore , went to see Orange in disgrace. "Brother Qian, don't worry about it. It's okay. If you lose your job today, you can look for it tomorrow. I believe in one thing. God rewards hard work. As long as we are willing to work hard, we will have a good life." Li Shasha is a The girl was careful, and when she saw Qian Liangliang's distressed face, she comforted him. After a few glasses of beer, Xiongbao was able to speak long sentences. He filled Qian Liangliang's glass and raised his glass high to help Li Shasha comfort Qian Liangliang: "Brother Qian, I believe you are a good person. You just lost your job, and you can still care and love others like this, you are a good person, I toast you, I promise you will get better, if people like you don’t get well, God should be laid off.” Xiong Bao drank the wine in his glass.Qian Liangliang was quite embarrassed to let the two young people persuade him like this, and said again and again: "It's okay, it's okay, I will do it, everyone will do it." The two drank the wine in the glass, and the bear bag hurriedly filled it up for Qian Liangliang, and respectfully raised the glass to persuade him to drink: "Brother Qian, I am not very good at talking, I agree with Li Shasha's opinion, good people will be rewarded, I offer you a toast, and I do it first as a respect." Xiong Bao drank the wine in his glass, and Qian Liangliang followed suit. Qian Liangliang turned his attention to Xiong Bao and the two of them: "I heard what you said just now, you two should have made meritorious service to the restaurant. Are you two off?" Xiongbao sighed, gulped down a glass of beer, and wiped the beer froth from the corner of his mouth with his big hand like a bear's paw: "Ge Laozi, in this world, whoever has the right is right, let's not talk about him." After drinking two bottles of beer, Qian Liangliang's mood began to improve, and he used the method he practiced when he was the head of the reception office to drink bear bags.Xiong Bao was his opponent, after a few rounds, he was persuaded by Qian Liangliang to down two more bottles of beer, and Qian Liangliang also drank a bottle of beer himself.Li Shasha secretly went to pay the bill while they were drinking. In her mind, meeting such a good person as Qian Liangliang tonight, and letting such a good person be wronged because of a misunderstanding, can't let this big brother Qian just lose his job. Wronged and then spend money on treats.Unexpectedly, Qian Liangliang would become extra alert and talkative at the moment when his energy began to transform into excitement and passion after the cloudy weather turned sunny. Li Shasha's every move could not escape Qian Liangliang's eyes. Qian Liangliang rushed over and dragged Li Shasha back: "What are you doing? You look down on Brother Qian, don't you? I just agreed that whoever is older and whoever has more money will pay the bill. What are you doing? Just sit and eat Yours, if you act rashly again, Big Brother Qian turns around and leaves, and I will never know you, a little girl, from now on." When Qian Liangliang said this, Xiong Bao and Li Shasha were stunned. No one could remember whether there was a saying that whoever was older paid the bill, and no one knew who was the richest here. Before the young man could react, Qian Liangliang had already taken out his wallet and showed his hole card: "Look, don't think that Brother Qian has no money." Throwing it to the counter, "Put it here first, and settle the account after eating, and refund and make up for more." When things have come to this point, no one is ashamed, and they dare not compete with Qian Liangliang to pay the bill. Xiong Bao and Li Shasha can only serve Qian Liangliang again and again, but in their hearts, they secretly admire this new acquaintance Brother Qian is righteous and forthright.
