Chapter 11 Chapter Eleven is up

1 One day I answered the phone, and when I came up, I asked me if I earn money. I said you are not sick. I know who you are. The other party said that I couldn’t even recognize you. The person who dubbed the old crow, he said I was your big brother, and I said I was your uncle, and he said that I asked you to write the script, so I forgot it so quickly.Oh, it turned out to be the owner of the film and television company who was arrested by Wang Dapeng. I asked him when he came out, and he said he didn't go in at all. The legal representative of the previous company was his younger brother, and his younger brother was responsible for the accident, and his younger brother signed the contract, so he is still at large.He also said that he recently set up another company, which is also engaged in film and television, and asked me if I wanted to join the company. I said that I was busy for a long time last time, and you didn't give me a penny. You should find someone else for such a thing. He said that The thing is that I was wrong, but this time it is definitely true. If I lie to you, I will be the grandson. If you are interested, we will continue to cooperate.I said, that's fine.

In this way, I got a job again, filming entertainment films with a five-person film crew, and sold them to Beijing TV Station and local TV stations after the production was completed, so our business cards will all be printed with the title of "Beijing TV Station Director" so that Charming everywhere.The business card is not an obvious deception. Here are my two seniors from the same school. First, I came here for more than a month. I was in charge of technology. I went to chat with them as if I had nothing to do, but they treated me as cold as winter, and their hot faces were stuck to their cold asses. , Later, seeing their behavior, I didn't bother to talk to them anymore, they were like strangers.

2 I don't know where the boss got a "Buick". Every day, he drives it to work alone, goes home to sleep, drinks and takes a shower.Later, he didn't know where he dug a wild model. She sat in the co-pilot's seat all day long, accompanied the boss to work, went home to sleep, drank and bathed.Later, this girl became our show host. The girl's name is A Can, she is beautiful, but her culture is low.Once we rushed early in the morning and went to a location by a certain beautiful river. The camera positions were set up, the reflectors were set up, and the microphone boom was set up. As long as Ah Can said a few passages, it would be OK. But her performance disappointed us a lot. Her lines, which were less than a hundred words, were repeated unsatisfactorily.As the sun rose higher and higher, we narrowed the aperture of the camera, but Ah Can still hesitating to the camera, unable to express his words.After lunch, we continued to shoot, the situation was the same as before, the sun was slowly moving towards the west, we increased the aperture, and looked helplessly at Ah Can talking incoherently to the camera.Finally, in the middle of the night, we finished shooting. Fortunately, when we went out, we were careful and brought lights.

The boss watched the sample tape of this episode, and did not make any specific changes to the content, but said that it would be best to go out on location during the day instead of at night.We nodded and said yes, there is suffering.The boss also said that subtitles must be displayed when the host appears on camera, so that people across the country can know our host.I said to myself, the host is yours alone, not ours. In order to improve work efficiency, we handed over the lines to Ah Can three days before the shooting, three days off stage and one minute on stage, hoping that she could complete the filming in one go, but Ah Can didn’t take it to heart at all, facing the camera performance is still poor.We can't say anything about her, maybe she is really busy and is always being manipulated by the boss, just like we are being manipulated by the boss.Although they are both used as orders, their natures are different.

When making the program, we stamped Ah Can's name on the screen from beginning to end. The boss saw the name and stopped reviewing the quality of the program, and we were able to pass the test. Later, the company took on several advertising jobs, involving products ranging from body sculpting underwear to men's nutrition solution, and the boss requested that Ah Can be the protagonist of the shoot.We had no choice but to follow suit. When shooting underwear commercials, let Ah Can pose in front of the camera in postures such as sitting, lying, standing, lying, etc. without revealing too much style; With a blushing face and a happy face, a yellow and thin woman next to her, who looked like a chicken, said enviously, "My husband is busy with work and has a lot of entertainment, and he is exhausted when he gets home. He is not like the one in your family." At this time, Ah Can said, "Action is worse than heartbeat, thanks to XX Oral Liquid, he loves me even better!"

In this way, when our program is broadcast on the TV station, not only the host is Ah Can, but also the advertisements in the middle are filmed by Ah Can. Ah Can has entered the lives of ordinary people overwhelmingly and is well known to the people.The boss proudly said that this is what he wanted.Then he and Ah Can got into the "Buick" and drove towards the dimly lit place. 3 The New Silk Road Model Company held a national competition, and Ah Can wanted to participate, but the boss refused to let her. He knew the hidden secret behind it, and was afraid that she would run away with someone else.But Ah Can insisted on participating, she said who are you to me, and you don't marry me, why should I listen to you, and the boss's question got stuck.He had to say, whatever you want.

On the day of the game, Ah Can bought tickets with his own money and invited us to cheer on the scene, but the boss made an excuse and didn't go. The game was held in the studio of the TV station and was not broadcast live.We are sitting in the third row, the first row is the judges, and the second row is the business owners who sponsor the event. Amidst the solemn music, the female model appeared on the stage, dressed in an evening gown, dignified and graceful, the audience applauded thunderously.We saw Ah Can walking with the No. 29 brand, grinning his teeth, looking very happy. After the first round of showings of female models, male models began to appear, and the audience left their seats to go to the toilet, smoke, and make phone calls.The male model competition ended hastily amidst the deserted audience and sparse applause, and the female model swimsuit competition started. The audience suddenly appeared from nowhere, and the scene was full again.

The female models walked around the stage in bikinis, twisting their waists and hips. They were dazzling and had oiled their legs. Their legs were long and white, like fried dough sticks waiting to be cooked.Some lesbians show the flesh on both sides of the buttocks because of their plump buttocks or too small panties. One of the models must have recovered from a serious illness or participated in the competition with an illness. I can clearly see that there are two needle holes on her buttocks , one on each side. What's even more amazing is that the background music of the swimsuit show is actually an erhu folk tune. Most of the contestants walked across the stage expressionlessly, with their number plates hanging on their waists. It's easy to think of someone who can't survive. Yes, I'm selling girls.

In this session, Ah Can wore a fiery red bikini, she was extraordinarily enchanting, and she performed extremely well. I heard a boss sitting in the front row say to the judges: "I'll go talk to No. 29." Then I went to the backstage.We all know this boss, who often appears on TV. He is the boss of a well-known private enterprise. He once said that his company will become an international brand in the next five years and be on the world stage. After a while, the boss came back, smiled and said: "It's done, you can control it." Then he stuffed a thick envelope to the judges.

4 The last part of the competition is the comprehensive quality inspection. We sweated for Ah Can, knowing her background too well.But Ah Can's performance was unexpected, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with eloquence, which surprised us endlessly.At this time, the judges turned their heads and gave the boss a knowing smile, and the latter replied with a slight smile, saying, it must be her. However, the performance of several other models in this session was not satisfactory. When they were dumbfounded by the host's question, the female audience laughed gloatingly, and the judges turned around and told the boss that no one is covering it, it is not good. spirit.

In this contest, there are ten prizes and excellence awards for hair, skin, temperament, photogenicity, online popularity, demeanor, figure, potential, goodwill, image, typhoon, etc., three third runners-up, two runners-up, and one champion. The contestants all returned with a full load of trophies, but it was hard for the host to read so many names in one breath. Ah Chan lived up to expectations and won the championship, but let our boss down to the extreme. In the award ceremony that followed, the bosses of various companies stepped onto the stage and presented prizes to the beauties with lewd smiles on their faces.The boss of the private enterprise put a golden and heavy laurel crown on Ah Can's head. It may be that Ah Can's face is cute, and the crown slipped off his head several times. It seems that not everyone can be a champion.But among other things, at least Ah Can has a figure and a good face, even if he is worthy of the audience, unlike the female leaders of several companies who can't say "I wish this competition a complete success", it's nothing more than to be surrounded by models Taking a group photo with her unglamorous body, I don't think it's shabby, what do I think. 5 This competition made Ah Can become famous in one fell swoop, and when people went to high places, Ah Can naturally left Boss A and followed Boss B.She said that she couldn't help it, because on the day of the competition, she signed a contract with the boss backstage. This contract can guarantee her a place above the third place, and the price is to obey his command in all actions within three years.At that time, Ah Chan wanted to win the award so much, he signed it without even thinking about it. On the day of farewell, the ex-boss said that I would drive you for another ride. Ah Can said no, my car was outside. We sent Ah Can out and saw a fiery red "BMW" sports car parked in front of the company. Later I learned that Ah Can was about the same age as me, but his standard of living was much higher than mine.The slogan of equality between men and women has been shouted for so many years, and it is still not completely equal. As long as women have good looks, they can achieve a well-off life at least 10 years earlier than men of the same age. 6 When Ah Can left, there was no host, and the original program was changed, and it was changed to a talk column in the studio. Each issue planned a theme, which was of special interest to the common people, and then hired three experts and scholars in this field with high salaries. Gather together, express their opinions, and talk freely, and it will still be broadcast nationwide after the filming is over, the program is called. Just during this period of time, the US-Iraq war started, so most of the topic selections were based on this topic. Three men in their forties stopped doing serious business and made fun of Saddam endlessly all day long, satisfying their own saliva splashing I can figure out that there are two kinds of occupations that can be eaten by opening your mouth, one is a beggar, and the other is a host. In addition, the company also does some fart work such as advertisements and feature films. 7 I was editing a film in the computer room that day, and one of the exterior footage was shot in Oriental Plaza. I saw a familiar figure flash by on the tape and enter the building.I rewinded the tape and played it again, and that figure passed by again, very much like Lei Lei.I rewind the tape and freeze the picture. This is just a side view. I am not completely sure that she is Lei Lei, but the person in the picture is wearing a pair of eye-catching yellow sneakers. I saw Lei Lei wearing these shoes. Could it be Lei Lei? I found the camera of that day and asked the time on the screen. He said it was taken last Friday, about 8:30 in the morning. After shooting this scene, he went to the snack street in Wangfujing to drink soybean juice. After drinking the soybean juice, he watched it. I looked at my watch, it was 8:50, I thought I had nothing to shoot, so I went back to the company to return the machine. So what is Lei Lei doing in this building at this time? 8 So, before 8:30 every morning, I waited at the elevator entrance of the Oriental Plaza, looking for Lei Lei’s figure in the passing crowd. When it was 8:40, I took the subway to Junbo, where my company was. , I have to go to work at nine o'clock.One day when I was waiting at the door, someone actually took me as the security guard of the office building and asked me to help them carry the desk. After lifting the desk, I was almost late for work again. This kind of thing has happened to me before.When I was with Pan Na, I got up early every day, went to the breakfast shop across the road from her house, and waited for her while eating.As soon as the bicycle bell rang, it meant she was here. When I heard the crisp sound, I looked up and saw her waving to me, so I stuffed the remaining two buns into my mouth, wiped my mouth and ran out, and her ride to school together. Sometimes I don’t know who is so annoying, as if I know the car bell is our signal, I press it twice when passing here, I look up, no, I lower my head and continue eating, just after taking a bite, the car bell rang again, I looked up again, it was still not there, so I lowered my head to drink the porridge again, then picked up the spoon, heard the car bell ring again, and looked up again, it was still not, so I ignored it, just lowered my head and ate my own, Let the car bells rang all over the streets and alleys, until I was full of porridge and food, I looked up and saw Pan Na standing in front of me with her schoolbag on her back, she was furious: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, my car bell is broken!" Sometimes I go early, and Panna dawdles, and she doesn’t come after I finish eating. The waiter starts to take away the tableware, and says while tidying up: “Student, let’s go after eating, go to school early to read books.” , don't waste your time here, our place is not spacious, and there are two old men standing there waiting to drink fried liver.In this situation, I had no choice but to grit my teeth: I'm not full yet, let's have another bowl of wontons! Once Panna was sick and didn't come to school, but I didn't know it. I waited and waited for her not to come. The waiter had removed my tableware twice, but in order to be able to sit and wait, I still asked the waiter to bring another drawer of buns. The waiter widened his eyes and said: If you eat again, you will have three drawers!I said: Your steamed buns are so delicious, I may eat the fourth drawer later. After eating this drawer of buns, I couldn’t sit still anymore, so I went to find Pan Na with a full stomach. When I found out that she had a fever and would not go to school today, I was complaining—three drawers of buns, thirty in total, and two bowls of porridge. I was tortured unspeakably.When I got home at night, I saw my mother prepared a table of rich dinner for me. I rolled my eyes. My mother thought I was sick and had anorexia. She found hawthorn pills for me. I said I wanted to eat yeast. My mother said that it seemed true. I am sick and have a severe fever. 9 Waiting for Lei Lei was even more difficult. Not to mention waiting while eating, there was no place to sit. Once I was really tired from standing, so I planned to sit on the ground and rest for a while. Before I could squat down, a security guard came over and said: Going to beg for food, turn left when you go out, there is an underground passage there.I was not happy when I heard it: I don’t look like a beggar, is there such a beggar like me!I pointed to the designer clothes on my body and said.The security guard said: What's wrong with the famous brand, can't beggars wear it?It seems that the responsibility is not on the security guards, but on the beggars. You are getting better and better dressed, and you have lost any professional characteristics. It hurts our self-esteem too much. There is a cafe at the entrance of Oriental Plaza, which also sells breakfast, but it is not a place for my consumption. If I stay here every day, the salary is not even enough to ensure that I am full every morning.I may eat it, especially early, usually a bowl of tofu, two tea eggs, three sugar pancakes, or six deep-fried dough sticks, all of which were cultivated by Pan Na. After waiting for a few days, I suddenly felt ridiculous, and one thing was enough to make me give up this practice: What if Lei Lei just passed by here that day? So, I got an extra 20 minutes of sleep every day, and instead of going to Dongdan to take the subway to work, I left directly from home. 10 A certain place in Hubei has been a poverty-stricken county since the late Qing Dynasty and early Ming Dynasty. Every year, it relies on state relief to survive. This year, there was a torrential rain and severe floods. Obviously, state relief cannot solve the problem. Therefore, the local government came up with a plan and invited the Beijing media to discuss the situation. Report the situation to gain assistance from the capital and the people of the whole country. Because the company had just shot an advertisement for a local company and made some money. This time, they called and asked us to go there. The other party was responsible for all expenses. The boss said, let’s go. A person must be conscientious, so I was ordered to carry the camera. Went to the airport. For this operation, the boss assigned me a camera from the company, but I didn't want him, because he was not a camera material at all.During the last shoot, we invited a female guest, an avant-garde writer, wearing a thin dress. In order to see it more clearly, he pushed the close-up lens to her chest, but he could really see the bra inside lace, but the screen is unusable, the face is invisible, there is only one chest that rises and falls with breathing, and two tapes were wasted, but he said it doesn't matter, and he will sell it to some AV director later. I got on the plane and saw that there were all Beijing reporters with familiar faces, video cameras, cameras, long guns and short cannons, and the local government was really good at it. When we got off the plane, the welcome team lined up on both sides. We stepped on the blackened red carpet and got on the bus. The police cars in front drove the way, and the crowd behind shouted "Welcome, welcome, warmly welcome." After nearly four hours of driving, I finally arrived in the poverty-stricken county. The road was bumpy and the people were exhausted.We were taken into the county government hotel, where the banquet had already been set, and we didn't see where the poverty lay. Everyone sat down, and the county magistrate raised his glass and said in a cadence: "Welcome everyone to come to our county to inspect the work. My county is poor and rough, and life is difficult. To express my gratitude, I have specially prepared a table of banquets. The food is simple and simple. It is not a respect. On behalf of the people of the county The government and members of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, I would like to offer a toast to everyone, I wish you all good health, happy family, and successful careers!" Then I raised my head and drank the wine, and I had to finish the wine in the glass, because the righteous words of the county magistrate just made people I feel that if you don't drink it, you are against the government, and you are the public enemy of the people. Afterwards, the county magistrate poured Wuliangye for the crowd, while pouring out his grievances, delicacies from mountains and seas were served in an endless stream. Here, I ate many things that I ate for the first time in my life. Where does poverty alleviation come from? 11 Obviously, everyone was more interested in the food than the county magistrate's speech. The county magistrate closed his mouth knowingly and watched everyone chewing until the dishes were cleaned.Then, the county magistrate invited us to go out for a sit-down, saying that there was still a program coming up, and the reporters immediately regained their spirits and their eyes began to shine.After a day of flying and traveling by car, I was so tired that I had no leisure time, so I left early and went back to sleep. The room has already been prepared. For convenience, it is still a room for one person. It is thoughtful enough, but it is not necessary.When we entered the house, we saw a handbag on the table, which contained tobacco, wine, tea and candy, as well as a guidebook for investment promotion projects and an investment manual, which were obviously for us to take away. But on the day of my departure, I still put the two books back on the table for the sake of convenience. I don’t know where the interest came from, and I wrote a poem on the wall: "Meaning" Tobacco, alcohol, tea, sugar I take away I mean it the remaining two books don't take it don't tell me Not interesting enough It's true that I'm sorry for doing this, but I guess everyone is like this.Except for those who collect tatters, these two books will never be given away. Later, before boarding the plane, I saw someone carrying a handbag to a small stall and exchanged things into RMB, saying it was convenient to carry. 12 That night, after washing away all the travel and dust along the way, I lay on the bed and just turned on the TV when the phone rang.Calls made at this time are usually for making money, so I consider whether to answer them.With my body upright and not afraid of the shadow tilting, and my feet not afraid of the crooked shoes, I picked up the microphone. "Sir, do you need the service of a lady?" A delicate voice sounded like it was from the Northeast. I asked, "What services are there?" "It has everything." It really is from the Northeast. "Let's chat then," I said. "Okay, I'll go up and find you." The other party couldn't wait. "No, let's talk on the phone, girl, how old are you?" I said. "Brother, don't delay me from earning money. You can talk however you want after the business is over." It was straightforward. I said, "Let's do this. You can ask other houses first. If there is no business, you can call me. Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle. Why don't you chat." The girl said: "Just chatting is not fun. My brother has traveled thousands of miles to come here, and he is not happy. Let me go up and help you relax." I said, "Come up if you relax for free, I have no money." The girl said: "Brother really knows how to joke, can you stay in a hotel if you don't have money?" I said, "It's not my own money." The girl said: "I really envy you, you can eat and drink, and you can get reimbursed." I said, "We are reimbursed, but not everything." The girl smiled: "You can reimburse me, but I don't have an invoice." I said, "How are you doing this?" The girl said: "My family is in the countryside. I have raised firewood, fed pigs, and cooked since I was a child. I have no money and no time to go to school. Now my sister is taught these heavy things at home. I have time but I am still uneducated. If I can’t find a job, I’ll earn some money while I’m still young to support my parents.” I said, "Then it won't delay your earning money. You'll be busy first, and we'll talk later when you have nothing to do." The girl hung up the phone in disappointment and never called again.Maybe it was a deal, I don't know if I should congratulate her. 13 It is said that this is a place where no bird can poop, but I still have a good bowel movement the next day. At this point, I am always so neat and methodical. Under the command of the county magistrate, we followed a few militiamen on the lifeboat, preparing to go deep into the flood for field shooting and investigation.A few reporters said that they were seasick, so they couldn't go up, so they just swept around on the shore.The county magistrate said earnestly that the future of the people of our county is in your hands. Then he bowed to everyone and stepped onto the kayak first.After all, the cannibals are short-sighted, and the sumptuous hospitality last night was not for nothing, and the head of a county has set an example, so there is nothing to say, just bite the bullet. After nearly two hours of rafting without any danger, we finally landed safely.I used to always say that it was not easy for me, but now that I have met the people in the disaster area, I know what it means. After I return to Beijing, I must write about it, a reporter said.The county magistrate said, thank you all, the banquet has been prepared, and everyone was shocked. Another gluttonous meal. After dinner, the itinerary was coming to an end, and the farewell ceremony was extremely lively, with firecrackers and fireworks (although it was in the daytime), running dry boats and playing with lions, which was very lively. We bid farewell to the local people and got on the long-distance bus to the airport.An hour and a half after boarding, the plane gradually turned into a blue sky, and the sky became more and more hazy. Beijing was approaching. Someone began to sing: "The sky in Beijing is not sunny, and the people of Beijing like it too." 14 After getting off the plane, I went back to the company with my camera on my shoulders, just in time to send out the money. When I got paid for the first time, I had a very strong feeling: the money feels so good in your hands, this thing is amazing, when you put your bulging wallet in the bottom pocket of your jeans, you walk You can always hold your head up, your belly in, your butt out, and you can even feel how fucking sexy your ass is.No one can get along with money. But after receiving it a few times, I had this feeling again: Regardless of the amount of money, what is the point of working, receiving wages, and spending it every month? Is life so boring? When I am unemployed, I do what I want to do at home every day. I lack material, but I have plenty of energy.After going to work, the lack of material has not been completely resolved, but the spirit has become hungry and thirsty. In all fairness, I was really excited about the life of receiving a salary every month, especially on the day when the money was paid. The joy was uncontrollable, but after a few times, I felt bored. Is the meaning of life only in this?What's the use of having money, besides, this amount of money is far from the point where you can do whatever you want, even if there is so much money that you can spend it as you want, then what's the point of spending money.Of course, it's too early to say this, or it's just a fantasy, but I have a deep understanding of the boringness of life. My current salary is several times that of my living expenses when I was a student. At that time, a few hundred yuan could make me live happily. Now that I have more money, I don’t know what to do. I don’t mean to say that the money is too much to spend. Going out, how much money in Beijing is not enough to spend, I mean I spend money but can't buy happiness. 15 Among my classmates from all ages, the richest one is actually an idiot who didn't even get into college. In high school, no one looked down on him. At first glance, she is slutty, speaks in a sissy accent, uses lotus fingers with chalk when doing problems on the blackboard, and likes to tease cats and dogs, with a look that deserves a beating.It is such a person who actually became the most profitable in our class.It is said that because he watched CHINA DAILY for several years at home, he talked to himself in English in front of the mirror when he had nothing to do. He usually worked for others in Zhongguancun, and then he successfully entered a famous foreign computer company as a technical maintenance worker. His main job was to answer customers On the phone, troubleshoot for the other party. If you encounter a situation that he doesn’t know how to do, just hold the handset and shout at the other party: “Hey, please speak louder, I can’t hear you clearly, please speak louder, I still can’t hear you clearly! "Then hung up the phone.If this happens to you, I can tell you with absolute certainty that the grandson who answers the phone is him. Although the classmate's job is rough, but the income is good, he often goes to the disco to find girls with his passbook, and when he sees someone pleasing to the eye, he says to them: "Girl, come home with me." The girl glanced at him and said, "Morality." Unhurriedly, he put the hand holding the passbook on the girl's chest and said, "I'll tell you the password if you follow me." The girl took the passbook, looked at the numbers inside, and said, "Handsome guy, I will give you the password tonight." is yours." No matter who mentioned him, we didn't get angry at all, thinking that the sky was extremely unfair to us, or took too much care of him.Later, when he heard that this classmate had contracted a venereal disease, he took it as a pride to show off everywhere, so as to prove that he was majestic and well-informed. To be honest, if this classmate hadn't been as flamboyant as he is now, but was hit by a car or went to beg for food, our feelings for him would not be so bad. 16 Speaking of passbooks, I also have one, which was given to me by my parents when I first went to college. There are some RMB in it, which is enough for my tuition and living expenses every semester (it’s enough to spend in a planned way).At the beginning of the semester, the amount in it is relatively considerable, but when it comes to the final exam, and sometimes even just after the midterm exam, it will be empty.At that time, I often entered the transaction window of the bank with green slips (withdrawal slips) and RMB came out. Whenever I hand in the green slip to the trading window and hear the salesperson's "swish" counting the money through the microphone, my heart flutters - I can use the money for joy in a while. Now I have earned money myself, although it is not much, but I want to deposit (them) in the bank, and hope that this number will snowball and grow bigger and bigger.But the snowball didn’t get bigger and bigger. Often, within two days after the red slip (deposit slip) went in, the green slip went in again, and sometimes it was too much to make ends meet, so the snowball was always one centimeter bigger. Melt another ten millimeters, and barely maintain a balance of payments. Only when you encounter windfalls (take some private work, or pick up three or five yuan on the side of the road), can the red list go in and the green list not follow.Later, I found out that earning me so much money and saving it was simply unnecessary. Although money is earned in such a sparse way, I don’t think money is earned in this way. I haven’t found out how to earn it, but I must find out, because it is as natural for a man to earn money as for a woman to have children. The number on my passbook has never exceeded five digits. In the worst case, adding two significant digits after the decimal point is barely enough for four digits.I don't aspire to become a millionaire, I just want to enjoy myself as a millionaire first, but even this wish is hard to come true.In today's era where "10,000 yuan is not a household, 100,000 is not considered rich, millions are just starting, and tens of millions are counted", I think it is so difficult to make up the number. It's true that when the books are used, one hates the lack of them, and when the money is spent, they don't have enough. 17 When I was in college, I had dinner with my middle school classmates who worked before me. They only mentioned two things at the dinner table, women and money.I'm interested in the former, because I can't help myself at this age, and the latter didn't attract me at the time. I thought they were vulgar, but now when they invite me to dinner again , I am often very busy earning money (although it is a job, but if you don’t pay me, let me work, and I won’t do it if you kill me), and when I don’t have time, they say, what are you doing now? more realistic than us. So far, there is a question that has puzzled me—how did I complete the transition from a lazy student to a money lover? It seems that overnight, my thoughts have undergone earth-shaking changes.I searched for the reason why I was like this, and suddenly found that all the people around me, except the primary school students who are studying hard and making progress every day, are all living beings who are making money and making progress every day. I remember that I didn’t know that learning requires brains until my second year of high school. The teachers and parents ecstatically praised me for opening up my learning skills; but now, I realize the importance of money. To the truth of it. 18 Having said that, I am far from the level where I can throw my head and blood, and step on my dignity and personality for the sake of money.I can live without money, not for money. There are two kinds of human desires, material and spiritual. The former can be transformed into money, and the latter can be further abstracted into ideals. Although some people’s ideals are to make money, in my case, the two are still separated. Years ago, I was very inclined to the latter, and now there is a confrontation between the two. I firmly believe that after a few years or in the near future, I will definitely choose the former without hesitation, and now, what I can do is to make this matter Delayed happening, or simply immediate. It's hard to imagine what it would be like for me to lose one, or just have one.If human beings are full of desires, what will the world be like; if human beings lose their desires, what will the world be like. Desire is like dough, the longer it takes, the more it swells, so for us, the difficulty is not to change our destiny, but to satisfy the status quo with peace of mind. When I heard that someone earned more money than myself, I began to feel resentful and determined to change jobs or ask for a salary increase; but when I heard that there were more people earning less than myself, my desire to raise wages and change jobs ceased. Strong again.People are just that boring. 19 Soon after returning to Beijing, the company lost its business.SARS broke out in Beijing. In order to reduce the chance of infection and being infected, TV stations stopped producing and broadcasting new programs every day, and only found some old-fashioned but hailed as classic TV series to pass the audience. If there is no work to do, naturally there will be no money to earn.The boss said that this is the end of the matter, and he has nothing to do with it. People are not as good as God. If you don’t want to do it, you can go home. If you still want to do it, you can go to and from get off work on time every day, and only pay a basic salary of 500 yuan. He believes that SARS will eventually be eliminated. Humanity wins, and by that time, the company will surely prosper. Affected by SARS, various industries in Beijing are generally sluggish. It is hard to avoid people, let alone recruit new people. It is not a wise choice to leave the company at this time.Five hundred yuan is a little too little, but facing a disease that will be conquered at an unknown time, instead of being bored at home alone, it is better to go to the company and let everyone accompany you to be bored, and put aside those who have no money. I dare not take the bus anymore, I bought a new bicycle, and queued for a long time.Wearing a mask to go to work every day, when I saw the bulletin board on the side of the road that said: Breathe together, share fate, heart to heart, hand in hand, I was shocked, what are you waiting for to fight against SARS like this, and not contagious. The general mobilization of Beijing citizens wearing masks has started. You wear them and I wear them. Wearing a mask, every girl on the street looks beautiful, no matter how collapsed the bridge of the nose, how yellow the teeth are, how many nostrils, or whether they have beards or not. All the parts inside the mask are beautified even if they are ugly. As long as the eyes are not too small to squint into a straight line, they can win a very high rate of return. For some women, this is something that they dare not even think about at ordinary times. . Masks were already out of stock in Beijing, and Lao Wai and Bai Yue couldn't find any, but in order to prevent problems before they happened, they changed their bras into masks by themselves.Bai Yue's underwear is mostly red and black, which is too flamboyant, so she bought a few white bras, cut off the straps, and divided the rest into two from the middle. One pair of bras is enough for two people to prevent SARS Why, when the two of them acted alone, others wouldn't notice anything if they didn't pay attention, but it seemed funny when they appeared at the same time. A discerning person would know what was going on at a glance, and then laughed out loud.Face is precious, and life is more expensive. In order to live healthily, they ignore the ridicule of outsiders and do business in their own way wearing bras.But the sponge layer of the bra was too thick, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter. After wearing it crookedly for a while, he couldn't breathe, and his forehead was sweating. Bai Yue specially bought an ultra-thin bra for him, more than a hundred pieces, look Watching Lao Wai scissors down, Bai Yue's heart ached to death. 20 In order to make full use of the eight-hour shift, I downloaded a copy of "Water Margin" from the Internet and read ten chapters every day.It’s not bad, there are books to read, occasionally I’ll sort out movies, and I’m paid, just the commute to and from get off work is a little harder, but I think it’s worth it. I really can’t read ten chapters a day at home.But after a long time, I got annoyed again. More than two weeks later, I finished reading the 120 chapters of "Water Margin", and I downloaded another one, and finished it within a few days. Later, I simply named it "Silver Plum", "Tong Ping Mei", I have read the articles in "Tie Ping Mei" and "Aluminum Ping Mei", so I can only read these to kill time, otherwise I have nothing to do.During this period, the woman I dealt with the most was Pan Jinlian. From childhood to adulthood, various types of women appeared in my life at various times.First, there are middle-aged female monsters, enchanting and beautiful, with high abilities, some kill people without blinking an eye, and some spin silk from belly buttons, which have left a deep imprint on my young heart, but that drama seems to be popular except for Liu Xiaolingtong.人都销声匿迹了，特别是那些饰演艳丽妖精的女演员，难道她们真的成为妖精，在人间蒸发了？ 后来一个日本演员，叫内田有纪，我因为看过她演的一部名为《热力17岁》的电视剧而对其情有独钟，那年我14岁，梦中情人就是她那样儿。 再后来我上了大学，对白领女性萌生兴趣，当时理想中的女子是：长发细腰，却不一定丰乳肥臀，出了门，往大街上一站，看见红色就招手，打开车门就上，管丫夏利还是富康，上车后一句哪哪哪，然后摇下车窗，兀自点上一根烟卷，对司机的搭讪不予理睬，当司机从反光镜里偷看的时候，提醒他不要东张西望，注意前面过马路的老太太，到了地方，留下相应数目人民币，不索要发票，下车熟练，“砰”地将车门撞上，扬长而去。 唉，都是过去的事情了！ twenty one 将我上学期间打工的经历计算在内，这已经是我的第五份工作，可无论在哪里，做什么事情，我总有一种虚度光阴的感觉，因为我不是在为自己忙碌，而是在出卖劳动力，以此换得生活所需。 事实就是如此，无论做什么，当我们刨根问底追问“为什么”的时候，会倏忽发现，一切行为都是徒劳的，毫无意义。 做什么才不算浪费时间呢，睡觉，只有觉是给自己睡的。我不明白为什么有人把睡觉看成最讨厌的事情，可能是他咖啡或茶喝多了吧。 这就是我对待生活的态度，我相信每个人对生活都有不同的认识。就好像一个苹果从树上掉下来，如果砸到我的脑袋，我会扬起头骂一句操你妈的，然后捡起苹果擦擦吃掉，心满意足地离开；如果砸到某个农民兄弟，我想他会赶来马车，不等熟了，把苹果全部摘掉，然后驱车前往农贸市场；幸好这个苹果砸到的是牛顿，也算长了眼睛。 每当工作时候感觉空虚，我就听见尼采说：“一种更高类型的人不喜欢'职业'，正是因为他懂得召唤自己。”我想说的是，尼采，你丫别再害我了。 我就不信我不能呆在一个地方踏下心来干个不说三年五载，一年半载总可以吧。 twenty two 一面旗帜，挂在旗杆上才会迎风飘扬，那么人类生活的支柱是什么：拼命挣钱，养家糊口，封妻荫子，满足自己的种种欲望？还是沽名钓誉，活出个人模狗样，让万人瞩目？或者回报辛勤耕耘、忍受分娩之巨痛而生育了我们的父母，是他们一把屎一把尿将我们拉扯大，为我们换洗尿布，供我们吃穿，接受文化教育，母亲安慰女儿初潮别紧张，父亲告诉儿子遗精很正常，我们在学校被欺负了有爸妈撑腰，但这些我们一辈子也偿还不清，顶多给点利息。这些都不是我生活的动力，我的生活没有支柱，我是一面无杆可挂的旗子，只能任风摆布。 这段时间，我的幸福就是周五下班路上花5块钱买本小说，回到家不紧不慢地吃完饭，再看会儿电视后，把窗帘拉上，台灯打开，该撒的尿撒了，然后钻进被窝看小说，看困了算，一觉天亮。 twenty three 回到家，我总抱怨工作没劲，爸说你才上了几天班就烦了，我和你妈工作了一辈子都没抱怨过，你现在回家吃现成的，我那时候还要负责做一大家子的饭，你们现在有电脑了，可以玩游戏、上网，我们那时候有个屁，除了桌椅板凳，就是一杯茶水和两张报纸，三十多年了，我们还不是照样过来了吗。 是呀，他们那时候没有网络，每天都是怎么过来的，坐着发呆，站着唠嗑，还是尽心社会主义建设？真是一代人一个活法儿。 日子就是这样一天天过去，一天的生活从早上睁开眼去上厕所开始，到睡前再上趟厕所结束。 一个周末，在家呆得甚是无聊，好不容易熬到了吃晚饭，吃完后爸点上一根烟说：一会儿你把碗刷了。我撸起袖子，走进厨房，看着眼前的锅碗瓢盆和油盐酱醋心想，真他妈没劲，但这就是生活。 twenty four 非典肆虐，患者有增无减，人心惶惶，天下大乱。 老板终于实行了人性化的弹性工作制度，每人每周值班两天，其余时间呆在家中，不准乱跑，咳嗽发烧立即拨打120。 我心中窃喜：一周歇五天干两天的愿望终于实现了！ 饭馆取消了四人以上的大餐桌，毕业生们无心再吃散伙饭，幸好我不是今年毕业，否则该多郁闷。毕业本是一次生离死别的过程，许多人这辈子难得再相见，即便上学时候形影不离，好在我们毕业那年可以大吃大喝，肆无忌惮地抱头痛哭，现在除了豁出命去，散伙饭的壮观景象已难得一见，大家总不能带着口罩，吃着泡面，端起一杯板蓝根互相干杯吧。 25 非典严重，闹得我哪儿也不敢去，闷在家里混日子。我又在网上碰到茶杯里的叶子。 她：好久不见，我以为你得非典了。 我：你就不能盼我点儿好吗。 她：最近忙什么？ 我：忙着生活。 她：同志辛苦了。 我：你的生活好像挺滋润，傍了大款吧。 她：蒙对了。 我：真的？ 她：骗你干嘛，我现在养尊处优。 我：我们劳动人民和你不是一个阶级。 她：有工作了？不是社会寄生虫了？ 我：瞎干呗。 她问我在什么公司，我如实回答，反正公司这么多人，她知道我是谁。她问我上班都干什么，我就把公司网址发给她，说这里面涉及到的我们都干。过了一会儿，她说在网站上看见公司的全家福了，问哪个是我。 其实我根本就不在这张照片上，拍摄的时候，我正好去了湖北那个发大水的县城。 我故意把照片上最丑的男人说成就是我，这样见面后才不会让她失望，果然引来她的诧异：啊，你长这样呀！ 我说其实我本人比照片上帅多了，她说甭解释，照片上的形象已经比她预想的好许多了，我说，靠，你把我想成什么样了。 我问她长什么样，她说你想知道可以和我见面呀。我正求之不得，早就想看看能傍上大款的姑娘长什么样了，万一哪天我成大款了，也有个思想准备。 我说你不怕传染非典吗，她说你要怕那就算了，我说我不怕，我戴口罩去。 26 我们约好在北太平庄的一家茶馆见面，标志是我把一包中南海放在桌上，而她的面前会摆上一杯白水，里面没有茶叶。 大家都不敢出门，街上没有几辆车，交通顺畅，我比约定时间提前二十分钟到了茶馆，北京如果老这样就好了。 为谨慎起见，进了茶馆我依然没有摘掉口罩，也没有把中南海放在桌上，而是随手从书架上抄了一本旅游杂志，心不在焉地翻看。茶馆里还有几个人，但一定不是她，这几个人都是男的，岁数都不小了。 时间快到了，我开始留意每个进入茶馆的客人。有人进来，有人出去，但没有她。幸好几个单身男士也在等人，我可以夹在他们中间滥竽充数，也幸好没人桌上放着中南海，要不她一会没准儿就张冠李戴了。 这时，进来一个穿T恤衫的女孩，戴着口罩，举目四望，像在找人，我赶忙装作看书的样子，用余光注视着她的一举一动。她看了一圈，没有发现要找的人，便在我斜前方坐下，与我面对面，仅从眉宇间看，她的模样还不错。服务员拿着茶单走过来：小姐，您喝点儿什么茶？她说：一杯白水。 is her. 27 白水上来了，她并没有摘掉口罩，只是看了一眼表，或许在埋怨我不守时。其实我早到了，你要是摘去口罩，露出真面目，样子不太难看的话，我就跟你打招呼了。 时间一分一秒地过去，她表现出不耐烦，我也等不住了，心想把烟掏出来算了，但就在这时，她摘掉口罩，喝了一口水，我发现她居然是潘娜。 我不相信会有如此巧合，就掏出手机，拨打了茶杯里的叶子在网上留给我的电话，同一时间，潘娜的手机响了，她接听：你怎么还没到，我已经在茶馆里了。 声音从我的斜前方和手机中分别传入我的耳朵，真真切切。 北京，这个人口上千万的城市，还是太小了。 我挂掉电话，掏出中南海放在桌上，摘掉了口罩。
