Chapter 46 Section VIII

25 The Spring Festival in 2002 is coming, many students have found a job they like, but I still have no improvement. Although the road to finding a job is full of hardships, I must bite the bullet and go on looking for it. Participating in a job is the only way to survive after graduation. One day at a job fair, I slept late, and when I arrived at the venue, recruiters were packing up their things and preparing to leave. It was time for the job fair to end. For the next job fair, I woke up very early. When I arrived at the venue, the job fair had just started, but I was yawning, feeling depressed, and always wanted to find a place to squat for a while.At that time, I especially missed the feeling of staying in bed, so on the way back to school from the job fair, I filled in the column of job application requirements: I want to seek a job that can sleep late.

After participating in several job fairs, I have an impression of job hunting. This impression can be described in two words-married. Those of us who have not yet left the campus are like big girls. Girls always have to find a husband’s family for themselves, and we always have to find a workplace for ourselves; Contacting a good family, when the student is looking for a job, the parents will use all their energy to run around to find a place for us to settle down; some girls who advocate free love are opposed to their parents' arranged marriages, and they will find the person they like by themselves. Some students don’t want to live in the shadow of their parents, and would rather visit by themselves; after a girl finds a target, she starts dating a man every three days. After the student confirms the work unit, she is ready to attend an interview at any time; There is some physical contact, and we will inevitably have to bargain with the boss during the interview process; men expect girls to be virtuous, beautiful, generous, able to bear children, and able to cook, and the workplace requires us to be professional counterparts; the boss hopes We have work experience, the more the better, but men don’t want girls with rich experience in this area, they only hope that the less the better, even if they don’t understand anything; This phenomenon is called part-time job; many irresponsible men persuade girls to sleep with him, but refuse to get married. In my youth, I was still unable to get married, so I gave up the requirements of houses, cars, etc., and lowered the standard to be a man. After we sent out countless resumes and still received no reply, we gave up monthly salary, insurance, provident fund, etc. It is required to cross out one by one from the resume, leaving only the last one, and just take care of the meal.

When these extremely low requirements still couldn’t marry the girl out, and couldn’t make us find a foothold first, the girl became a “chicken” in the alley, and we were sent to the street to be a “duck”. Connected with fate, this is the final result that a cruel society will lead to. One of my favorite books during this period was Maugham. I admire the hero in the book very much. Under the social environment and family pressure at that time, he resolutely chose to live for himself and do what he wanted The thing is very remarkable. I am looking forward to living the life that others call "swaying arms". "Bros".

27 The year of the horse comes with the sound of saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. This year is my birth year. In order to make everything go smoothly, I wear the red underwear, red underwear, red belt and red socks that Zhou Zhou bought for me to welcome the new year. . On the night of New Year's Eve, I was bored sitting in front of the TV and watching the Spring Festival Gala with my family. Because my work was not settled, I felt lost again and again amidst their laughter. After the new year, the last semester of university began. I lost a lot of weight and went back to school. I remembered that during the Spring Festival in my freshman year, I went back to school full of greasy food. In three years, my body has changed so much .

The students in the class found their favorite jobs one after another. They often stood in front of the mirror in suits and ties to take pictures, or gathered in the corridor to talk about their salary, future and female colleagues in the unit. Seeing their happy faces made me feel depressed He crawled into bed, trying not to hear their conversation. 28 In the morning, I picked up a newspaper and went to the toilet. While reading it, I found a job advertisement. It was a magazine called "Music Instrument Lover" who was recruiting several editors and reporters for the society due to the expansion of its layout.

I took out my cell phone and dialed the number listed in the newspaper. "Hi, hello, "Musical Instrument Lover" magazine." A lady with a charming voice greeted me, and I don't know how many times she repeats this sentence every day. "Hello, I would like to inquire about applying for a reporter." "Wait a moment." The lady said sweetly. I vaguely heard the lady's voice from the obedient words: "Editor-in-Chief, someone wants to apply for a reporter." Heavy footsteps came from the phone. "Hi!" A man's voice said. "Hello, I would like to apply for the position of reporter."

"What major are you studying?" "I majored in mechanics and organized a band during school, so I have a good understanding of music theory and musical instruments." "What are you doing now?" I want to say that I'm taking a shit right now, but I still say "I'm a recent graduate, graduating in July." "Your major is not suitable for this job. Besides, how can you be called a fresh graduate if you haven't graduated yet!" "The so-called fresh graduates refer to the group of students who graduated in July this year. You can still be the editor-in-chief if you don't even know this concept. It shows that the level of your magazine is low, you idiot!" I hung up the phone in time, not wanting to do it again. A pointless waste of time and phone bills.

This poop made me extremely depressed, and I took out the toilet paper and finished the matter hastily. 29 Zhou Zhou found a job without any effort. Before that, she had been an intern in a securities company. Because of her good performance, she was appreciated by her boss. He decided to recruit Zhou Zhou as an employee to the company.Zhou Zhou signed an agreement with this securities company. If there is no accident, Zhou Zhou will work in this company for at least two years. After Zhou Zhou appraised the agreement with the company, he officially went to work in the company because there were not many school affairs.The boss saves Zhou Zhou's trial period and directly pays the salary according to the standard of regular employees.Zhou Zhou’s monthly salary is 3,500 yuan, plus various bonuses, dividends and other income, Zhou Zhou earns an average of 4,500 yuan a month. In addition, the company also provides Zhou Zhou with a dormitory, which is located near the Guomao Bridge. The female colleague in Zhou Zhou's dormitory will be stationed in Shanghai for nearly half a year, acting as an agent for the company, so I simply moved daily necessities and other things into Zhou Zhou's dormitory.

Our life is very happy. Every morning at seven o’clock, Zhou Zhou wakes up in my arms. After dressing up, she goes to work at seven thirty with a hamburger and a bottle of “Orange”. 10 yuan to take a taxi to the securities company three kilometers away, and walked into the office at around 7:50. Zhou Zhou’s daily job is to receive investors and help them solve difficult investment problems. In fact, when some rich people are hesitant about whether to buy stocks, Zhou Zhou describes to them the infinite possibilities of stock trading in a few words. The scenery and fun are endless, helping them make a final decision, to put it bluntly, is pulling them into the water.

Zhou Zhou's afternoon job is to sit in the sunny office and play the game "Minesweeper", because this is the only thing she can do when she is not absent from work and has nothing to do. All mine. When Zhou Zhou was working, I would wake up two hours later than her, and I would not fold the quilt after getting up, because we had to cover our bodies at night.I first turn on the "Kenwood" stereo left by the female colleague, wash while listening to music, turn on the TV after washing, lie on the bed and watch the NBA broadcast for a while or watch a VCD movie, and then take the bus for lunch before returning to school.After eating in the cafeteria, I will go to the department office for a walk to see what units are recruiting at the school and what new orders have been issued by the department. After finishing these things, I go back to the dormitory and smoke with my classmates. Play cards and games until dark, then return to Zhou Zhou's dormitory, ready to have dinner with her.

Zhou Zhou’s dormitory is full of things we bought together, a tall CD rack filled with genuine, pirated and reprinted CDs, the bedside bookcase is full of modern, martial arts, romance and horror novels, the refrigerator It is filled with all kinds of simple food, beer, and drinks, and there are strips of our favorite jeans and jackets hanging in the wardrobe. Seeing these things, I always have a sense of inferiority and happiness, because I currently have no financial income, The living expenses my parents gave me were only enough for me to meet my food needs, drink two more bottles of beer, and smoke two more packs of cigarettes. These things were all purchased with Zhou Zhou’s salary. As a man, I failed to make a contribution in this regard. Contributing, but enjoying the comfort of food and clothing brought to me by women, I really can't feel at ease. Zhou Zhou had no complaints about this, and the two of us still spent the money we earned.
