Chapter 78 Chapter Twenty (2)

Later facts proved that it’s not enough to pretend to be a fool. This kind of heat is not easy to control. The key is that you come to ask for help, and those bosses can easily regard you as a desperate beggar.When Zhong Yuemin went to the second company for an interview, he learned the lessons of the first job application and tried his best to pretend to be an honest person. He would answer whatever the other party asked, and he would never open his mouth unless he was asked. The boss asked him if he was familiar with it. Is there any relationship with some agencies in charge of import and export trade?Such as the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the Foreign Economic and Economic Commission and other agencies.Zhong Yuemin answered honestly that he did not know him.The boss said, our company is engaged in international trade, and we have to deal with customs frequently. Are you familiar with such businesses as customs declaration?Zhong Yuemin shook his head and said he was not familiar with it.The boss didn't ask any more questions, but politely said that he would think about it and asked him to go back and wait for the notice.

Zhong Yuemin had just walked into Zheng Tong's house, and before the two had time to speak, they heard a starling raised by Zheng Tong happily shouting: "Hello!" Zhong Yuemin was happy: "Hello! This starling is quite eloquent, and his pronunciation is quite accurate." "Have you eaten yet?" cried the starling. "I haven't eaten, are you in charge of the food?" Zhong Yuemin teased the starling in the cage. "×Your mother..." Mynah suddenly cursed. "×Your mother, why is this bastard swearing at people?" Zhong Yuemin was furious, and scolded the starling regardless of his status.

"Forget it, forget it, don't say a few words, Yue Min, why do you have the same knowledge as a bird?" Zheng Tong calmly persuaded. "You must be the fucking one who taught me, this mynah doesn't smoke." Zhong Yuemin said angrily. "I didn't teach it, probably it was taught by its previous owner. I bought it because it can swear. Napoleon said that a bird that can't swear is not a good bird." "When did Napoleon say that? He said that a soldier who doesn't want to be a marshal is not a good soldier." "It's the same thing. The truth is always the same. We should treat a bird with tolerance. Who has no shortcomings. As a bird, being able to swear at least explains its language Talent, I'm going to teach it English, as long as it doesn't go out of the circle, such as shouting reactionary slogans, other things can be forgiven, whoever catches scolds, loves whomever."

"Where did you get such a bird?" Zhong Yuemin asked. "I went to the flower and bird market that day, and I was scolded as soon as I entered. This starling is very cunning, and it will scold people if it can't come up. After chatting, the third sentence is ×Your mother!, an old man was scolded and almost swung his cane over. I think this starling is very pitiful. In fact, it just wants to relax, not really want to What about the old man's mother, I quickly stopped the old man, paid for it and bought it, good guy, on the way home, it scolded me all the way, and then scolded Jiang Biyun when I got home with my son..."

"Hello!" Mynah yelled again, and it seemed that he knew these three sentences. "×Your mother..." Zhong Yuemin couldn't be fooled by it, and scolded him in advance. Zheng Tong suddenly remembered that he had received a call from the boss in the afternoon, and Zhong Yuemin's affairs had gone wrong again. He asked dissatisfiedly, "Yuemin, how did you talk to him?" Zhong Yuemin said: "I pretended that I had never seen the world, and I definitely gave that Boss Wang an honest impression, so what?" "It's over, you fucking acted too much, Boss Wang said, your buddy is a bit mentally retarded, he doesn't know how to ask this, and he doesn't understand that, so what the hell are you doing here? Isn't it a place to open porridge sheds to help the poor? The whole thing is a fool."

Zhong Yuemin was furious: "Damn it! Is this still a goddamn way to make people live? If you are too smart, let's be stupid, can't being stupid make people feel honest, honest people don't let everyone feel at ease? We have been arguing for a long time , I can't be stupid, and I'm mentally handicapped, so what do you want me to do?" "You have to control the heat yourself, and you can't go to extremes. Don't be scheming when you're smart, and runny nose when you're stupid..." Zhong Yuemin was annoyed: "Fuck it, don't worry about this matter, I'm so angry that I didn't find a job, I'll figure it out myself."

Zheng Tong laughed at himself and said: "The ancients said that it is reasonable to be a scholar who is useless. I was not convinced by this sentence before, but now I really have nothing to say. When I jumped in the queue, I thought that only through personal struggle In order to change my destiny, I have struggled for so many years, but I have changed from a farmer to a scholar, and I am still a disadvantaged group in this society. I have neither money nor power, and my life is not very good. , It's all dingy just thinking about it." Zhong Yuemin said with a smile: "You are an educated person, you shouldn't have such ordinary thoughts."

Zheng Tong jumped up: "I am a layman? I would like to hear how I am layman." "What's wrong with a scholar? It's a shame if you don't have power or power? Don't you envy power and power? Is it because of this that you have studied hard for many years?" "Then what do you think it is for? I have studied hard for many years, so I can't live in Tongzilou today. Who would take intellectuals seriously these days? My son's class teacher has classified the parents of the students in his class." Officials belong to the first category, rich people belong to the second category, intellectuals, ordinary citizens, workers, and clerks belong to the third category. The focus of home visits is on the first two categories. It is said that I also came to my house once, in Tongzilou I was dizzy and almost turned into the women's restroom. The head teacher went back in a rage and never came back again. Do you think intellectuals are considered a disadvantaged group?"

Zhong Yuemin has read a lot of books recently and is thinking about some issues. He has long wanted to discuss with Zheng Tong, and tonight is a chance. "Zheng Tong, don't you think it's not normal for most members of a society to have the same way of life? For example, all parents design the same path for their children, study hard, go to college in the future, and graduate from college Afterwards, I will strive to become an official, a boss, or a scholar. At worst, I have to be a white-collar worker, because no one intends to be an ordinary worker. Now almost everyone despises blue-collar workers and thinks that blue-collar workers are synonymous with incompetence. It's not normal, there are so many people in the world, each should have his own way of life, and we can't converge on one way of life."

Zheng Tong sat up straight from the sofa, and his expression became serious: "That's true, social life should be diversified, and this diversity should be specific to the way of thinking and behavior of each of us. Yuemin, I Admitting that I am not as good as you in some aspects of thinking, among other things, your behavior of selling pancakes made me admire you, and you are living according to your own ideas, which may be regarded as a state." Zhong Yuemin said: "I think what our society needs most is creativity, and it doesn't matter how many years you have studied and how high your education is. A person who lacks creativity is mediocre even after finishing his doctorate, while a person who is creative Strong people can make a mediocre life colorful. To put it bluntly, the social structure is like a layer cake, everyone stays on their own layer, of course you can work hard to the next layer, but you need Creativity is not something everyone can play. If you don’t have that ability, you should stay at your own level and do your job well, because it’s impossible for everyone to turn to the first level. Let’s go one level, what’s that like? It’s dough cakes.”

"Okay, now that you said that, my eyes suddenly became brighter, and I suddenly felt that living in a tube building is too extravagant. I should live in the cellar, because I really didn't make any achievements. If I want to live in a tube building, I have to Come up with some creativity, but, then again, which floor do you Zhong Yuemin belong to? Which floor of that puff pastry should you sleep on?" "I'm sorry, I have spent half my life without any skills. I can't stick to any layer except the bottom one. I also figured it out. Instead of running errands for people in those bag companies, it's better to start from the bottom layer. I'm looking for a job this way... ..." Just as she was talking, Jiang Biyun came back with her child, and as soon as she entered the door, she yelled in a fuss: "Oh, I thought the house was on fire, even the corridor smells like smoke, can you smoke less... " Zhong Yuemin planned to go to the freight yard of the railway station to find a job as a stevedore. He walked around the freight yard twice, but he still couldn't find the department responsible for recruiting temporary workers.He specially wore an old military uniform as work clothes today. This kind of dress looks silly when walking on the street, a bit like a petitioner who came to Beijing to petition. Today’s troops have changed into new military uniforms long ago. This old military uniform is like an antique. It should be listed Into the collection. Zhong Yuemin was wandering around the warehouse when he suddenly heard someone calling his name, he was quite puzzled, how could he meet acquaintances in this kind of place?He looked back and found that Li Kuiyong was sitting in a taxi waving to him. Li Kuiyong brought a customer here to pick up the goods at the freight yard. After the customer got off the car, he accidentally glanced into the freight yard and found Zhong Yuemin, because his attire was so eye-catching. Green, now even the stevedores are all in camouflage overalls.At the beginning, Li Kuiyong really regarded Zhong Yuemin as a petitioner, but after thinking about it, why did the petitioner come to the freight yard?Do you want to steal something, and you will be surprised when you look closely, isn't this Zhong Yuemin, why are you here? Zhong Yuemin told Li Kuiyong about his plan, and he stretched his chest muscles to look like a bodybuilder: "Look at our buddy's body, it's a natural material for loading and unloading." Li Kuiyong heard it bitterly, tears almost didn't flow down, Zhong Yuemin actually mixed up with this, in his eyes, Zhong Yuemin was never an ordinary person, needless to say how much "share" he had in fights in the past, just say He was also good enough when he changed his career from the army. He was a scout battalion commander and a hero on the battlefield. This is no joke.Later, he joined a large company and haunted various social occasions all day long in suits and leather shoes.Once Li Kuiyong was working at the entrance of the International Club, and saw Zhong Yuemin coming out with a girl on his shoulders.Later, when he heard that Zhong Yuemin had an accident, Li Kuiyong was not surprised. He had seen it a lot. Those masters who do big business may get into the game at any time. Today this master is still eating French at "Maxim". Big meal, maybe tomorrow I will go to the house to eat corn bread.He didn't expect Zhong Yuemin to come out so soon, and he was going to work as a stevedore. The contrast was too big, which made it hard for Li Kuiyong to accept. Li Kuiyong grabbed Zhong Yuemin: "Let's go, let's find a restaurant to eat and talk..." Zhong Yuemin said: "Let's talk about it later, I still have to find a job." Li Kuiyong became angry: "Look for a fart job, what the hell are you doing? If I didn't meet you today, I don't care if you are a "big teapot", (Note: In the old era, prostitutes and clients were used to make tea. Men who do water and miscellaneous work, commonly known as big teapots, have extremely low social status. Once they get into this business, even their children and grandchildren will not be able to lift their heads.) But I met you, and I can’t let you carry the big ones, are we buddies? If I don't care about seeing you in this miserable state, who the hell am I?" "Kui Yong, what you said is wrong, why don't you contribute to the Four Modernizations, I like to carry big guys..." "Don't fuck with this, come with me, can you go..." "Dude, don't talk about it, you don't know that we are gay, okay, I'll go with you, let go of your fucking hands..." Li Kuiyong came up with an idea. He planned to switch shifts with Zhong Yuemin to drive a taxi. Each of them drove for 12 hours without stopping. Taxi drivers' abbreviation for Taxi Management Office.According to regulations, it is a serious violation for two people to drive a car together, because Zhong Yuemin does not have the qualifications of a taxi driver at all.Li Kuiyong believes that Zhong Yuemin can't drive a taxi forever, isn't this what he does temporarily?Let the people in the "Guan'er Office" really catch it. Besides, there is no bridge that cannot be crossed. Zhong Yuemin disagreed with this, he didn’t want to affect Li Kuiyong’s earning money, everyone knows that the taxi business is very hard, and the “car share” also pays a lot of money, and it takes eight hours of work every day to earn enough money. For the "car share" money handed in, if you want to earn money, you have to earn it outside of eight hours, so it is common for drivers in this industry to work fifteen to six hours a day.Zhong Yuemin thought that rather than owe Li Kuiyong such a big favor, it would be better to be a stevedore and worry about it, and then seize the power of the foreman after the trouble, and work as a foreman himself. Li Kuiyong didn't even bother arguing with Zhong Yuemin, he knew Zhong Yuemin, some strange ideas could always pop up in this person's mind, and now he was thinking about the position of foreman again, and he didn't know what to do next.Fortunately, there is no kiln now, otherwise Zhong Yuemin might go to the kiln to be a "big teapot" on a whim.Li Kuiyong said bluntly to Zhong Yuemin: "Don't be so poor with me, you can choose one of two ways, either you drive a taxi honestly, or you leave now, I don't have a friend like you." That's when I stopped talking. Zhou Xiaobai was sitting at his desk looking through some medical records. Zhong Yuemin pushed the door open a crack, poked his head in and said with a Shandong accent, "Doctor Zhou, I'm from Shandong. Please see me." Zhou Xiaobai did not look up: "Please go to the registration office to register for medical treatment." "I have a tumor on my belly, bigger than my head. Look, it looks like I'm pregnant with a baby." Zhou Xiaobai raised his head angrily: "Didn't I tell you... Yuemin, you are so annoying, where did you learn Shandong accent?" Zhong Yuemin asked: "Doctor Zhou, what do you want me to do?" "Look at what you said, can't I invite you here if I have nothing to do? This seems to be the first time you have come to my office, right?" "Xiaobai, don't you want to chat with me? I'm a blue-collar worker and I'm busy. If you have something to say, tell me quickly. If there's nothing else, I can leave." Zhou Xiaobai pushed him on the chair: "Sit down for me, as if you are the only one busy in this world and everyone else is idle. I have something to do with you." "Then look at your watch, what time is it?" "Eleven thirty, what's the matter?" "What's the matter? It's time to eat, I'm hungry." "Yo, I'm sorry, I forgot, let's go, let's go out and find a restaurant, and I'll treat you to dinner." "Forget it, you can eat in the cafeteria of your hospital, don't bother." "That's fine, let's talk while we eat." Zhou Xiaobai took Zhong Yuemin to the canteen of the hospital. The food in this military hospital was pretty good. Each person took a stainless steel plate with a grid from the door, and then lined up at the window, and the cook served the food. This kind of meal was three One dish and one soup, in the form of billing.Zhong Yuemin didn't eat breakfast in the morning, and now he was so hungry that his eyes were blurry. He grabbed a plate and rushed to the window, and handed the plate into the window in front of many people queuing up. The medical staff looked sideways, and everyone saw that Zhou Xiaobai had brought him, so no one was embarrassed to say anything. A middle-aged doctor asked Zhou Xiaobai: "Doctor Zhou, who is this?" Zhou Xiaobai replied with a smile: "I'm sorry, he is one of my patients, and he has a problem with his mind." "Mentally ill, shouldn't you go crazy and beat people?" "No, he has no violent tendencies, the clinical manifestation is only a special interest in food." When Zhou Xiaobai brought back his work meal, Zhong Yuemin had already finished eating and was staring at the meal in her hand. Zhou Xiaobai simply handed the plate to him: "My God, why are you so hungry? I see You really should find a wife to take care of it, you just let go and eat, I will take it if it is not enough." Zhong Yuemin ate two meals before he stopped. He took out a cigarette and was about to light it, but Zhou Xiaobai stopped him: "Yuemin, smoking is not allowed here, don't you know the rules of the hospital?" Zhong Yuemin put away his cigarette in dissatisfaction: "There are so many things, now I look down on you intellectuals more and more, and you are still comfortable in our working class group." "Forget it, you've just been a taxi driver for two and a half days, and you're calling yourself a working class? Even the driver is a black driver. Someday let people find out and see how you end up." "Xiaobai, what do you want from me? Tell me." Zhou Xiaobai said: "Yuemin, do you know who paid the half a million yuan for you?" "Maybe it's Qin Ling? Among the people I know, only Qin Ling has this ability." "You guessed right, it's her, why don't you seem to be indifferent, don't you want to ask about her situation?" "I think she made some kind of agreement with the businessman, and the money was given by the man." "My God, you guessed this? You are amazing." "It's not surprising. When I found out that Qinling lived a very luxurious life, I guessed that a woman doesn't have any profession that can make a lot of money. Even if she can sing a few folk songs, she won't have so much money. You haven't seen the villa where she lives, and I'm afraid it won't be worth a million dollars." "You know everything in your heart, but you pretend you don't know anything. Why do you do that?" "I wanted to marry her. At that time, I felt that I had the ability to make her live well. Before I married her, I had no right to ask about her private life, but Qin Ling refused. She only wanted to be my lover. When something happened to me I happened to meet that man the night before, and even though I was mentally prepared, it happened too suddenly, so I lost my temper and made a lot of trouble, and then I realized that it was probably jealousy."
