Chapter 3 Chapter 3 finally has a formal job: teaching assistant salesman and reporter

Everyone is not a fool, if you make lies for others, others will make lies for you, so I later became more down-to-earth and played for real. To put it bluntly, you can still make money by fooling the people above, but if you fool the people below, once others find out, they will no longer trust you, and your leadership will have no credibility.In my first year in Guangzhou, I was free for more than half a month. Then I rested for another three months, which is equivalent to "Guangzhou Hundred Days Tour". My first job was related to English. I compiled teaching materials for a children's English teaching and research institution, and went out to the market in my free time.I graduated from a teacher college, and my English is not very good, but it is enough to deal with children.When I first entered, there was an interview, asking me why I chose this career.Why did you choose this career?Hungry growling, no food to eat, will starve to death.

But the answer is another matter. You have to save face. I explained the reason, probably because I have reverence for the cause of children, and so on. In fact, it's just for a meal. At that time, the monthly salary of this job was 600 yuan, including board and lodging, and most of the children spoke English, which did not involve advanced things, so it was relatively simple to do. Although the money was small, I had a very happy life and met some good friends around me.Because everyone has just graduated, they are relatively poor, there is no intrigue, and the work is very harmonious.I remember one time when we had an outdoor activity, the weather forecast said it would rain the next day, and the TV also said it would rain, so everyone went to pray.I drew a picture of the Dragon King with paper in my work unit, and I lit a few cigarettes.It turned out to be very strange, the things that were fixed on the board changed, and it didn’t rain the next day. When my colleagues came to the company and saw the Dragon King I drew, they all laughed.

The first job was very short, less than three months, but it was very inspiring to me, and made me realize that many Cantonese people are such simple people. In this place, I have mixed feelings. When I say "simple", I mean thinking. Everyone is a college student, just graduated, there is no mess, it is not very utilitarian, and there is no xenophobic thinking. For this job, I think it is inspiring to young people who have just graduated and entered the workplace, that is: don't be too picky, fill your belly first, and solve real problems.Because your academic qualifications and culture are not good, so you have no choice.I eventually left this company, because I am not interested in children's things, and there is basically no development prospect here, it can only be regarded as a career transition.

But I have gained a lot. Thinking about it now, the only thing I can recall is the working environment at that time, which was very relaxed and the relationship (among colleagues) was very harmonious.And dealing with children every day makes people very childlike. If I have a child in the future, knowing how to take care of him (her) is the biggest gain.Human nature is very kind when you are young, it depends on how you take him. Also, as far as the company is concerned, there is no loss if you change jobs. The company has a lot of liquidity, you have created benefits for the company, and it has made money. It's as simple as that.

The second job I read was a job advertisement in a newspaper. It was an economic newspaper that needed a reporter, so I went for it.Maybe it has something to do with my major (graduated from the Chinese Department), so I can only rely on the little knowledge I have learned to develop and expand my career.That newspaper was well-known in the economic circles. At that time, there were 20 to 30 employees, and it mainly discussed economic topics. It was an unfamiliar field for me. Although it's very strange, I'm not afraid. A poor boy like me and living in a foreign country have basically never been afraid of anything. He just wants to stab him first.This has something to do with my personality. Breaking through is fighting, so don't think about it.Also, it's useless for you to think about it, it's better to just take the knife and go to the battlefield.

In order to cope with the interview, I stayed in Xinhua Bookstore for a week, and learned about economics. You should know that in places like Guangzhou, although it is easy to find a job, if you have no experience or work experience, people don't want you.So during the interview, I told the examiner that I had worked in a local newspaper, and the editor-in-chief believed it.Then let me write a report.I worked as a reporter for the school newspaper when I was in college, and I am familiar with writing this kind of stuff, so the editor-in-chief was very satisfied with the final written stuff.

In order to eat this bowl of rice, I did lie, but in the end I have to rely on my strength to win the rice bowl.Although I really don't want to write those things, but who wouldn't flatter me gently?As a result, I successfully applied for the job, with a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan, but not including room and board. What I want to say is that if a person wants to gain a foothold in a place like Guangzhou, in addition to being able to endure hardships, being able to flatter is also a means of making a living.For example, in this newspaper, if I want to write a report, I must first be dispatched by the leader, which is the first flattery.After the leadership is dispatched, follow the old reporter to interview, how to contact the unit, how to approach, you have to learn from the old reporter, this is the second flattery.

The monthly salary doubled, but I was not very happy, because there are many highly educated people around, and many of them are locals. Other people's salary is at least 2,000 yuan, which is higher than mine.But there is no turning back, so I can only bite the bullet and write. The only way to survive is to rely on my pen skills, which I have brought to the extreme during that time. You have to write beautifully, and you have to write uniquely, and you have to write beyond the level of ordinary people. It is impossible not to be unique.After finishing writing, take it to the editor-in-chief, and strive for praise and appreciation.You have to take the initiative, so that there are more opportunities for interviews.Passive waiting is not enough. I am the one with the most economic pressure in the newspaper office, so I am also the most active.

At that time, I met many important figures, including Zhang Chaoyang, Ding Lei, Li Yang...all of them. After interviewing these people, I realized that there is not much difference between a big man and an ordinary person. Before interviewing them, I always felt that they had halos on them, but after being interviewed by me, these halos disappeared in my eyes.The reason why these people are successful is that some know people and make good use of them, and some are good at seizing opportunities. The more I know, the more confident I am, and I feel that there are many opportunities.Of course, it doesn't mean that these people are all successful casually. With contacts, opportunities, and continuous hard work, they will succeed.

You see, you still have to work hard in the end. Among the people interviewed, Cai Yanping, the chairman of a cosmetics company, was the one who impressed me the most.The reason why I was so impressed was because she always refused to let me interview or give me a chance.I was also angry, and I was so stubborn that I insisted on completing this interview, so I blocked her every day. One day can't work for two days, two days can't work for three days, and finally one day she was blocked by me on the road. At that time, there were reporters from other media around, and she was also uncomfortable with my behavior, so she agreed to my interview.

Of course I was given a time limit, two minutes, and the interview was over. What question did I ask, I asked: "What do you think about your career after all these years?" This question is stupid, in fact, I made it up randomly, and I forgot what she answered now.But I have an ability, she said, I can write an article based on her information, because I did a lot of homework before. There is also a celebrity, if you go to the Internet or watch his performance live, you will find that he is particularly provocative.I also learned the essence from it, which laid a solid foundation for me to always be able to persuade others in the future. It's just hype and news that elevate these celebrities. Everyone thinks that a person who becomes famous is a successful person, but it is not the case. If you look at those celebrities in ancient and modern China and abroad, many of them are orators. Through contact with these celebrities, I also summed up several steps to persuade others: The first is knowledge preheating. The second is prospect analysis. The third is the outlook within the industry. The fourth is to drive emotion and incite passion. Zhang Chaoyang is also a very infectious person, and he is "constructive". If he performs well, he can "hit the key points and criticize the current problems".I've heard some of his statements like: Let's not be afraid of conflict.Commercial warfare is very good. As long as you don’t cross the bottom line and compete within certain rules, this is a manifestation of promoting progress and can reflect energy. I really hope that other industries in China have this energy.In the United States, when you open the Wall Street Journal every day, the competition in this industry and that industry is going on, and this is suing that, and that is suing this, so it is very dynamic. You see, this passage is particularly thought-provoking, and it is completely different from going into battle with a boiled water bottle in your head. When I say this, it doesn't mean that I have also taken this path, it's just a summary.Looking back on the past, I did use some crooked theories, and changed the taste of what I learned from others before using them. It was only used when I was at the lowest point and most helpless in my life, and I fooled the examiners and superiors. My subsequent managers and bosses, those were the people above me. I never fool around with the people below and the employees, because after a long time you will find these things are very boring. Everyone is not a fool. If you lie to others, others will lie to you. Be down-to-earth, play for real.I refuse to fool my clients, and I treat my employees even more. To put it bluntly, you can still make money by fooling the people above, but if you fool the people below, once others find out, they will no longer trust you. This leadership no longer has credibility. I worked at this newspaper for five months, and finally chose to leave. Because I have learned something, there is no point in staying there, and I have no other extra thoughts.I am not going to be in the media industry, get what I should get, turn around and leave, this is not selfish, it is wise. And this place is not as simple as most people think. Because it (the newspaper office) supports itself, who does it depend on?enterprise.Therefore, if there is an accident or a scandal in a company, if you run over there immediately, others will give you a "pencil fee", which is actually a "hush fee".This red envelope can range from 20,000 to 40,000 to 50,000. Once I followed an older reporter to interview a company that had an accident. I was the one who wrote the article, and someone else got the red envelopes for eating and drinking.This was only learned later. In the current words, this is the "hidden rule" in this industry.I can't get money here, and I have to survive until I can get the qualifications to get red envelopes, at least until I am in my forties, so I definitely won't waste it here.Only then will you feel that the water in the workplace is very deep, and sometimes it is very dark, after all, there are interests.Can you leave your youth here?Can't, so I'm leaving.Jump if you have the ability, let the birds fly as high as the sky, don't be afraid. Of course, I still learned a lot here: One is meeting a lot of people and learning a lot from them. The second is to learn the gentle style of the cultural circle. The third is to lay the foundation for knowledge in the economic field. The fourth is to understand the inside story of the workplace. The fifth is to expand their horizons. The sixth is to make a living, after all, there is a monthly salary of one thousand and five.People get irritable when they are not sure about things and about themselves.It's painful, but it's just a symptom.Many people lack purpose in their lives and don't know what to do, so they get irritable. December 7, 2003 Overcast where is the road ——Remember that the post-80s students who graduated from a school called XX Teachers College boldly borrowed the name of a brother's novel as the beginning of the article today. It has been several years since they graduated from school.A few years, as if the gap between heaven and earth.There is too much variation from person to person.Regardless of those stupid guys, stupid people have stupid blessings, a lot of them stay at home, but now they have a couple of children, and the blessings are as good as the sky!This is also a choice in life. I still remember the words that the boss said, choose the right one, not the expensive one.Everyone has their own choices in life, and everyone is responsible for their choices. Students, especially our group, came to the society to understand that English depends on spoken English, and doing business is cunning.To be a leader is to be able to form cliques. Ability is very important. No matter how good the thinking is, it cannot be eaten.To be a person is to talk about ways and means, and money cannot be earned entirely by labor to afford a house.I understand, I understand, but it’s a bit late. When I opened my eyes, I saw that they were all in their twenties. They hadn’t enjoyed the struggle of youth, and they had already been crushed by social reality.We still have to respond to that call and strive for socialist modernization. Tighten your belt, you struggle, it's still miserable.After graduating, a lot of problems have to be solved. Parents are getting older, social pressure is increasing, there are more and more talents, foreigners have also come to China to grab money, and the ambition of coming to the city can only be wiped out. .Those who couldn't afford it, couldn't stand it, and most of them went back to their hometowns to farm.Some of them are still struggling in the city, dragging a tired heart and hazy eyes and still running for a well-off life. They are tired and dare not speak.It is useless to be afraid that others will laugh at you.Sleepy, I can't even afford Red Bull, so I ask Qing Tian about the wine with inferior tobacco and a bottle of Erguotou, dare to ask where is the way?Go back, your parents are gray-haired, waiting for you to give them a happy old age.Shame, the boys born in the 1980s, the children of ordinary people in the family, what is left of the struggle.The hungry belly was still shouting slogans. Some of them continued to study in this social university, still holding foreign language books and vocational technical books, remember, only then did they understand that knowledge can fill their stomachs.At the age of talking about marriage, I watched those born in the 1970s and 1960s pull the girls from their sides into their arms one by one.These days, what is love? Girls will ask you, can love make me full, can I eat western food every day?Can I live in a high-rise building? At this time, I deeply realized the importance of money, realized that we have become the most needy people in society, and realized the pressure and courage on our shoulders.I realized that this is how foreigners make money, and I realized that learning has just begun.Confused, perplexed, still depressed, but I have to speed up the pace of running, no matter what kind of wind and rain ahead, no matter whether there is a slim hope waiting in the future, only running can restore a little bit of leeway to this dead youth . Here we learn cunning, we learn how to be true and false.Here we have learned intrigue, learned knowledge and can use it on our own, and learned the old ancestor's "Cai Gen Tan" is now a Bible. Once upon a time, listening to Faye Wong, the innocence and romance have long been numb.For the sake of money, he accompanied the client to listen to the debauched music, and took the lead in applauding. He endured the disgusting howl but his face was red, and he used alcohol to anesthetize his last bit of conscience.Faced with piles of unfinished work and unfinished things, he also struggled there until the last moment, wishing to spit out the last trace of confession in his stomach with alcohol. Continue to anesthetize yourself, and then wake yourself up. When people are neither humans nor ghosts, you have to open your tired eyes and read those professional books. After all, society is still progressing and human beings are still developing. Make progress, and remember to set a good role model image for the next generation.
