Chapter 43 Chapter Forty-Three

Xie Tingting was like a dead leaf drifting with the tide, drifting all the way to Haihe City in the south, and then flowed out of the train station with the crowd. This is a very strange city, but also a city she yearns for very much.As early as when she was in middle school, she had read a novel set in Haihe City. Since then, she has fallen in love with this city, and even fantasized about being assigned to this city after graduating from university in the future.Now, she has finally arrived in this city, however, she did not appear as a master, but stepped into the threshold of this city as a beggar, which made her unable to get excited no matter what, she had Just full of sadness and infinite melancholy.She didn't know where to go, let alone what to do next.

When she came, she just boarded the east train on impulse without thinking about it.It wasn't until she arrived at the ancient city of Zhengzhou, at the terminal, that she woke up like a dream and asked herself where were she going?She couldn't answer her own question, and she didn't dare to face the reality. With her indelible longing for Haihe City, she boarded the train from the south again. At this moment, in the crowd of people, she suddenly felt so lost, so lonely and helpless.She didn't know how long she walked, from dusk to the beginning of the lights.At this time, she passed by an audio store, where Chen Xuan's "Wandering Song" was playing.That sad and melancholy note seemed to pervade the entire space, enveloping her.

Listening to this song, she couldn't help being touched by the scene, her nose was sore, tears blurred her eyes.Especially when she heard "The winter wind has snowflakes in it, blowing my tears down", she couldn't control it any longer, and the tears flowed down.Mom, when she thought of her mother again, of her kind smile, of her mother's hard work for her and her sister, of her mother giving all the happiness to their sisters, but what they left for their mother was loneliness, Her heart couldn't help trembling...Mom, how much she wanted to go back to her mother's arms, cry out heartily, and cry out all the resentment that was depressed deep in her heart.However, she knew that it was impossible now. Even if she really snuggled into her mother's arms, her strong personality also determined that she could not cry as much as she did when she was a child.My mother has endured enough suffering in her life, and she is unwilling to bring the unhappiness in her heart to her kind mother.

After a moment of grief, fear came over her.It's getting dark, where do you live at night?She naturally thought of Hu Yang again.It would be great if Hu Yang was by her side, she didn't have to worry about anything, with him around, she would have support and a backbone.After a ray of warm tenderness slipped through her heart, she couldn't help but walked to the public phone and dialed his cell phone.She didn't know what she was going to tell him, she just wanted to hear his voice, and she was willing to accept even a scolding word.At this moment, in this strange street, in this very distant city, as long as she could hear his voice, she would not feel helpless.However, the voice of "the mobile phone you dialed is out of service" came from the phone.Presumably he is still in the countryside, in that isolated Liugou Village.Like a long black night covering the earth, her heart was completely swallowed by an inexplicable emptiness.She asked a few hotels and restaurants along the street, but the prices were astonishingly expensive. She had no choice but to find a private hotel in the depths of the alley, and temporarily left her body.

After a few days of combing, her thinking became clearer and clearer.She decided to find a temporary job in this city of her dreams to solve the problem of survival, and then seek other development.With such a purpose, like all job seekers, she circles around dozens of large information columns all day long to find a job she is qualified for.Those information columns almost uniformly stated that the restaurant is recruiting XX waitresses, or that a certain company is recruiting XX salesmen, and it is difficult to find a job that suits her.She wandered around several places, and finally saw an advertisement for a company recruiting a female secretary under an advertisement information column. She required a height of more than 1.65 meters, a dignified and beautiful appearance, and a college diploma in Chinese or secretarial.She felt that she basically met the above conditions, and felt that being a female secretary was not bad, at least it solved the problem of survival.So, she called the phone number, took a bus to find the place according to the address the other party told her, and found out after that that it was a leather bag company.The manager is like a purse full of things, so fat that it may explode at any time.As soon as Xie Tingting appeared in front of her, the fat manager looked at her just like a peddler in the mule and horse market looked at her mules and horses. There was a naked, undisguised evil in his eyes, even though the fat manager promised her to keep a Monthly, the basic salary is 500 yuan, and the salary increase will be determined according to the performance. However, she was afraid of the evil gaze and the danger of him exploding, so she finally politely declined.

Time passed day by day, and she, who was getting more and more shy in her pocket, hadn't found a job yet.She plans to take another look and try her luck, but she really can't find an ideal one. She plans to start from the bottom of the restaurant waiter. No matter what, she will survive in this city. She has no way out. . On this day, she saw an advertisement. A company was recruiting a planning and publicity staff, male or female, aged between 22 and 30, with a college education.She immediately dialed the contact number in a nearby phone booth, and the other party replied that she was required to pay an agency fee of 300 yuan.Three hundred yuan, for her at this time, has already become a big number. It's fine if the work contact is completed. If the contact is not successful, wouldn't it be too wronged?Just when she was hesitating, the old man who opened the phone booth shook his head, so she had no choice but to hang up the phone.The old man said: "Girl, they are making black-hearted money, and they are specifically defrauding you migrant workers from other places. You must not be fooled by them. There is an evening and morning newspaper here. Take a look at the recruitment information on it. There might be something for you."

She was very grateful for the kind old man's reminder and bought a few newspapers. On an outdated evening paper, she found an advertisement for a newspaper recruiting a reporter.After she rushed to the newspaper office in ecstasy, she realized that they had terminated the registration.She found the editor-in-chief, and to put it bluntly, the editor-in-chief thought that she had worked in journalism, so he made an exception and let her take the unified examination the next day.She didn't expect that among the more than 200 candidates, she was ranked first.The joy of success swept away the humiliation and shame that had been in her heart for many days in an instant, and her nerves relaxed all of a sudden.For the first time, she walked into a small restaurant, ordered a few small dishes, ordered a bottle of wine, and celebrated her success.At this moment, how much she hopes that someone can share this happiness with her.She couldn't help thinking of her mother, her sister, Hu Yang, Sisi and Ye Fei.

How happy my mother would be if she knew that she was admitted as a reporter for the Haihe Evening News!When going out, she was afraid that her mother would worry, so she lied that she was going out to study for half a year.She knows that lying is not good, but sometimes lies happen to be the most beautiful and kindest embodiment of human nature.Now, she finally had a good explanation to her mother, and also found a chance for herself to tell the truth.She decided to send a letter to her mother in two days after she officially started work, so as not to worry her. Her sister was always like a mystery, lingering in her mind, which she couldn't solve.She knew that her sister was also in the south, but she didn't know which city her sister was in, let alone what she was doing.According to my sister, she has found a rich husband and her life is good, so she and her mother don't have to worry.Moreover, in order to prove that she is really rich, my sister often sends money to her mother and to her who is in college.She was able to successfully finish college because of the money sent by her sister.It can be seen from the remittance slip sent by my sister that my sister does not seem to be fixed in a city, let alone a unit.She seldom gets through to her older sister's mobile phone, and more often her older sister calls her and asks about personal reasons. My older sister always says that she is doing business with her husband, traveling between several cities, and is very busy.From her sister's flickering, she always had a little bit of worry, as if her sister was not as happy as she said.

Hu Yang is the one she misses the most.Only when you are drunk will you know how strong the wine is, and only when you have loved will you know how deep it is.Whether she was walking on the street in a daze, or curled up in a corner of a small hotel, whether she saw her own name on the top of the list that jumped into her eyes, or sat in this small restaurant and poured herself a drink, she couldn't help but go. Miss him.She knew that he had become the only one indispensable in her life, and the days of leaving him were so painful.She came to a nearby phone booth and tried to get through to him, but when she reached the last number key, her fingers stopped.She is a little scared, can he forgive me?What if he gets angry at me!She had no choice but to hang up the phone. She wanted to write him a letter and explain the reason to him. Perhaps, this would make it easier for him to accept.

Xie Tingting accepted a glorious but arduous interview task on her first day at work.Someone reported that the audio-visual wholesale market in Wenhua Street was selling pirated CDs, and the editor-in-chief asked her to write a report after in-depth understanding.Xie Tingting came to Wenhua Street by car and thought about the interview angle and ideas.She pretended to be a purchaser and deliberately spoke Mandarin with a slight Yindu dialect. After gaining the trust of the wholesaler, she negotiated the price with him.After cutting for a while, the price couldn't be suppressed, so she had to go to another one.After so many times, she got a good feel for the situation there.When she came back, she had already typed up the manuscript. She turned on the computer allocated to her by the newspaper and quickly typed out the manuscript.As soon as the evening paper came out the next day, the morning paper also published an article written by their reporter. After comparing the two articles, it was obvious that Xie Tingting's writing was much better than the morning paper's, with novel angles, profound content, and eye-catching titles.The editor-in-chief said happily: "The champion of the new department is the champion of the new department. We just want to compete with other newspapers in the same interview event." After this word reached Xie Tingting's ears, Xie Tingting was very excited, but she also understood , This is just the beginning, in the future, I have to do my duty and use my brains to write some good manuscripts with more weight, so as to live up to the expectations of the editor-in-chief.
