Chapter 17 The Low Point of Life
"What else can they do? Some are looking for jobs, and some are wandering around. The room is so small and the air circulation is poor. They don't want to be bored here."

I asked Ren Fei: "Did you submit your resume online just now?"

"That's right. I cast a wide net on Zhaopin, [-]job, and Shencheng Talent Hotline. College students like me have no characteristics, no experience, and no skills. Once they catch a lot, they can only use the shotgun method." Take your chances."

"Hehe. Is there anyone looking for an interview with you?"

"Yes. I interviewed several companies, but they didn't succeed in the end."

"How could this be?"

"Hey. Maybe it's also because of me. At the beginning, some companies were willing to hire me. I hated their small size and poor treatment. But later, companies of this size didn't give me a chance. I didn't know until now. , Companies in this industry are not large in scale, and those with no experience are treated equally."

"It's okay, take your time, everything will be fine."

Ren Fei asked me again: "How about you? Have you started looking for a job?"

"Not yet. I just arrived in Shencheng, and I want to get familiar with the environment first."

"That's right. But you don't have to worry. Jobs in the IT industry are easy to find. As long as you don't ask too much and are willing to endure hardships, it's not a problem. Come on."

"Hehe. You are the same. Come on."

I lay on the bed for a while, then went out for a stroll, and settled it casually outside at noon. Of course, I used WeChat payment all the time.

While eating lunch, I checked the balance of my WeChat red envelope, and there was only more than 100 yuan left in it. It seemed that I had to hurry up and find a job.

When I was strolling in a community in the afternoon, I saw a small advertisement on the bulletin board. There was an owner looking for a tutor, mainly high school physics and mathematics teachers, but the salary was not high, only 30 yuan per hour. Money, or maybe it was because he couldn't pay the price that he posted an advertisement in this place.

I used my mobile phone to find out about the market of tutoring in Shencheng on the Internet. For this kind of one-on-one service, especially for high school courses, no matter what level the teacher is, it will not be less than 70 yuan an hour. If it is a professional teacher, it may be It costs hundreds of dollars.

But now I am at the end of my rope, I can earn a little, and I don’t care about too much. Besides, the tutoring industry has an advantage, daily settlement, one settlement at a time, which is also in line with my current situation.

I made a phone call according to the contact information on the ad, and the person who answered the phone was a woman. We made an appointment to talk, but it was actually downstairs from her house.

It took me only five or six minutes to get downstairs to her house. She had already gone downstairs and was standing by a flower bed waiting for me.

This is a very ordinary woman, how should I put it, looks, clothes and temperament are all very ordinary.

She said her surname was Zhao, and I called her Miss Zhao.Sister Zhao said that her child is in the third year of high school and will take the college entrance examination next year. She said it will be next year, but in fact, it will only take a few months if you calculate it carefully.

Sister Zhao was very frank and honest. She gave me a brief introduction of her family's situation.She said that her child is now in the third year of high school. At the critical moment, she is now at home full-time to take care of the child's daily life. Her husband works alone as a logistics worker, leaving early and returning late. She really couldn't pay too much, so she recruited for a long time but no teacher was willing to come.

I looked at Sister Zhao and felt the mood of a mother who hopes her child will become a success.I briefly talked about my situation with her, and I said that I would do it, and the reward depends on it.

When Sister Zhao saw that I agreed, she had a happy smile on her face. It was not easy for her, I can imagine.

I made an appointment with Sister Zhao, from 09:30 to [-]:[-] every night from Monday to Friday, and three hours a day on weekends, the time will be determined separately.

In this way, I got my first job in Shencheng.

After talking with Sister Zhao, I went to find another job.The tutoring time is mainly arranged in the evening, and I still have a lot of time to do things during the day.

It's just that I wandered outside all afternoon, but I couldn't find a job that suited me.

In the evening, I came to Sister Zhao's house as scheduled. Sister Zhao's house is very small, with two bedrooms and one living room. I estimate it is less than [-] square meters.

Sister Zhao received me very warmly, serving tea and fruit, which made me feel embarrassed.Sister Zhao's child has an independent study room. When Sister Zhao led me in, I saw a boy sitting at the desk. He was seventeen or eighteen years old, he didn't talk much, and he was gentle.

"Xiao Bin, quickly call Brother Ye." Sister Zhao said to her child.

"Brother Ye, hello."

"Xiaobin, you are also good." I sat next to Xiaobin, which is convenient for communication.

"Xiaobin, if there is anything you don't understand, you should ask brother Ye more. Let me tell you, brother Ye graduated from Zhejiang University and is a top student from a prestigious university. Mom hired him with great difficulty. You have to seize the opportunity."

Xiaobin probably didn't expect that his mother would find him a student from Zhejiang University, her eyes showed envy and respect. Zhejiang University is still very famous in China.

"Ms. Ye, Xiaobin will leave it to you. You should talk about it, scold you, don't be embarrassed."

"Sister Zhao, you are too polite. Just call me Xiaoye."

"Okay. Xiaoye, Sister Zhao won't bother you, you are busy, just call me if you need anything." Sister Zhao closed the door and went to do housework.

Xiaobin and I had a conversation first, and briefly understood his current situation. Xiaobin is a good kid, with good grades in all subjects, but he is not good enough in physics and mathematics.

Generally speaking, those who are poor in mathematics are not much better in physics, of course there are exceptions.

I first explained to Xiaobin what he didn't understand in class, and then spent more than half an hour explaining to him the exercises he did wrong.I have always felt that correcting a mistake is far more effective than you blindly mastering new things.

Xiaobin is also a very hard-working child, and he is more serious in his work, but he may be a little introverted in school, and he doesn't like to communicate with teachers and classmates very much.

During this time, I worked on a construction site during the day, tutored at night, and returned to my place of residence late at night. This kind of life lasted for half a month.

The child Xiaobin has no barriers to me at all now, and he doesn't see outsiders. He asks for anything, so the learning effect is surprisingly good.

On weekends, Sister Zhao will invite me to have dinner at her house. She is really a very nice woman, and she is also good at cooking. Sister Zhao’s husband, Brother Guo, is also a very kind person. I have met him several times. However, he came home very late at night. He heard from Sister Zhao that when he was busy, it would often be one or two o'clock in the morning.

My roommate Ren Fei also found a work unit, a small company, and his work location was a little far away, so he moved out of the ten yuan store.We left each other on the phone, and when we have time, we often contact each other, and occasionally we will sit together for a meal or something.

He can also be regarded as the first friend I met in the trough of my life.

I originally thought that my life would go on like this, but life is far richer and more complicated than I imagined.

We pack lunch at the construction site, and solve breakfast and dinner by ourselves.

It was approaching noon that day, and the contractor told us not to eat, saying that a group of important people from the company were coming to inspect, and told us to work more actively and be more energetic.Not long after, two cars came together, a Buick commercial vehicle and a Mercedes-Benz. After the car was parked, a group of people in suits and leather shoes got out of the car, five men and two women. I saw a familiar man in the crowd. The figure of Ye Yingying, this woman I always think about in my dreams.
