Chapter 13 11. Little tricks that change your life

On the coach, I don't know where to go.I was very scared: Will people report the crime, and will I be wanted?Thinking about it, I couldn't care much about it at that time. In the evening, when I drove to a big city, there were tall buildings and red men and women on the streets outside the car window, so I decided to get off here. I stayed in a small hotel, 10 yuan a day, and that's it, I settled down temporarily.After sleeping wildly for two days, I began to think that I should find something serious to do. I went to the labor market first and found that there were migrant workers looking for work, so I couldn't bear the hardship.Looking through the papers, it's full of hiring managers, technicians, etc., and I can't do it.After reading newspapers for many days in a row, I finally found out that there is a job that is very suitable for me-security guard.

At that time, there were no security companies, and basically the police stations recruited security guards.I saw the security guards driving three-wheeled motorcycles on the street very proud, and I was very envious.So I chose one to apply for the job, interviewed, and filled out the form. I successfully became a security guard at a police station, and I was given a set of winter clothes for the security guard.Only after entering the work unit did I realize that the people who drove motorcycles all over the streets were members of the joint defense team. We were sent to work as security guards in restaurants, hotels, and entertainment venues within the jurisdiction of the police station.Although the salary is very low, at least I have a decent identity, and I don't have to be afraid of being checked by the police when I go out.

In the next six months, I worked in discotheques, large restaurants, and hotels. When I worked as a security guard in a Chaozhou restaurant, my fate changed. It was a large Chaozhou restaurant, the owner was from Guangzhou, and the entire kitchen was from Guangzhou.The boss doesn't want us to maintain order in the restaurant, but wants us to supervise the employees' clock-in and clock-in and check whether any employees take the items from the restaurant out without permission, and then live in the restaurant at night to watch. When I was free and bored, I chatted with other security guards, and the one who talked the most was naturally which waiter in the restaurant was pretty.Sometimes I also take out poker and show everyone a few "magic tricks", which are nothing more than those taught by Dawei.

One day, while playing poker with everyone, the boss of the kitchen came over to watch us play. After watching for a while, he leaned over and said, "I'll draw one." I brought the cards to him, and he drew a 7 of hearts, and threw it on the table.I buckled the 7 of hearts and put it at the bottom of the card, ready to deal the cards, and let everyone guess which pile I can deal in. Just about to send out, the boss said: "Wait a minute, let me check if it is on the bottom, don't let your kid steal it and put it on the top." I threw the card on the table.He opened it and took a look and said, "It's below." I started to deal out 5 cards and asked everyone to guess where the 7 of Hearts was.Some people guessed the first one, and some said it was still unpublished. There was a lot of noise here, and the boss turned and went back to the kitchen.At this time, a colleague opened the first card and said, "Here, isn't this the 7 of Hearts?"

It's not a big deal, everyone clamored that they guessed it, and asked me to buy cigarettes for a treat.I agreed with my mouth, and glanced at the kitchen. I sent the 7 of Hearts when I sent out the fourth card. How could I miss the first one? Presumably it was changed by the boss, how could he change it so fast, I remember his movements were very slow.I began to pay attention to the boss in the kitchen, deliberately approaching him.But he deliberately kept his distance, as if he was busy every day, and he just greeted me in substandard Mandarin when he saw me. Once, the security guard in the same class and I were dragged to a barbecue by the kitchen staff. I forgot the reason. A chef had an argument with the stall owner, and they started fighting in a few words.Those Cantonese fought really hard, and we joined the fight.There are so many local people, we were beaten up and down here and there.Although I didn't win, I made friends with the boss of the kitchen. Since then, he often took me out to be cool.

After a long time, I confided with my boss, and he also knew something about me. After drinking some wine that day, he asked me: "When can you buy a house in this city with 300 yuan a month?" I thought of my family and the past, and tears flowed down my face. I couldn't sleep when I went back at night.Yes, how long can a security guard be?Be a lifetime? I started to plan for the future, and I didn't want to live in a daze.After being in touch with the boss for a long time, I realized that he doesn’t know how to gamble at all. He learned the little trick of playing cards by accident from a friend. Putting the cards below to the top of the cards requires the ingenious cooperation of the palm, thumb, index finger, and middle finger. , It didn't take long for me to learn too.Now it seems that this trick is just a trick, but it is this trick that changed the trajectory of my life.
