The Ordinary Man's Guide to Fast Travel

Chapter 1: The Dark Light of the Industry

In a bright office, a female HR in a well-dressed uniform is looking at a resume.

And the person sitting in front of her was the person who wrote the resume.

"Chaoyao, 24 years old, graduated from college two years ago, majored in horticulture, and has changed six jobs. Your name is quite good. Just like your experience, it's very ostentatious!"

Chao Yao wished she could dig out a room and a living room with her toes, but she was also helpless!

Every company she entered would go bankrupt during her working period, even those among the Fortune 500 companies.

There was even a large company that withdrew from the entire Flower Country region just one month after hiring her.

Not long after that, the industry this company was in was almost extinct.

I don’t know if it’s because she chose the company or because she is just unlucky, but her friends and classmates all jokingly call her the industry’s dark horse.

"Ms. Chao, although our company's top management doesn't believe in Feng Shui, we may be more interested in finding a more stable employee this time. Since you change jobs quite frequently, we may not conduct a re-examination next time."

Chao Yao stood up, picked up his resume, and thanked the HR department.

"Although I didn't have the opportunity to stay, I am still very grateful to you for giving me the opportunity to interview."

The HR officer shook his head with some regret at her good attitude.

What a pity! Although he is not a student of a key university, judging from his household registration, he has at least worked hard to make it from the countryside.

This girl should not be too bad since she was able to graduate from college on her own.

It's just bad luck.

She doesn't dare to admit it!

If the company goes bankrupt because of her recruitment, it would be a serious sin.

Not to mention anything else, her colleagues in the company will definitely hate her to death!

"Miss Chao, if you don't mind, would you consider the funeral industry?"

Chao Yao, who had stepped out of the office door, quickly turned around.

"I saw someone on the news saying that people working in the funeral industry have relatively high incomes. Are you saying this because you have a job to recommend to me?"

She really needs a job to support herself. She only has 300 yuan in her pocket now. If she can't find a job, she won't be able to pay the rent.

"Well, I have a friend who works in this industry, and they happen to be in need of a makeup artist. I saw that the makeup you put on here today was pretty good, so I thought you could give it a try. After all, no matter how sunset an industry is, it shouldn't be the turn of a funeral home that deals in birth, aging, sickness and death."

Chao Yao's face was full of gratitude and she bowed deeply to the HR lady.

"Thank you very much for your recommendation. Could you please tell me the other party's contact information? I will go to find him now."

The HR lady picked up a pen and quickly wrote a string of numbers and a surname on the white paper.

"The phone number on this piece of paper belongs to Manager Wu. Just call him and say you want to apply for the job of makeup artist. You don't have to say I introduced you. If you have the ability, you should be able to stay."

Chao Yao took the note with both hands, thanked him repeatedly, and left the office.

As soon as she left the office building, she couldn't wait to call the number on the note.

"Hello, Manager Wu. My last name is Chao. I'm calling you this time mainly to ask if you're still hiring makeup artists?"

"Oh, you're applying for a makeup artist position? We're hiring. Our address is... It's still early now. Do you want to come over?"

"Yes, please wait a moment. I checked the navigation and it only takes an hour to get here by bus."

"Okay, I'll wait for you here. When you get here, just tell the front desk you want me."

"Okay, thank you, Manager Wu."

Chao Yao quickly checked the route and ran to the funeral home like a flash.

The decoration of the entire funeral home is solemn and dignified, mainly in black and white, simple and elegant.

Chao Yao entered the room and explained her situation to the front desk. Then she was led to the door of Manager Wu's office.

After knocking on the door three times, Manager Wu invited her in.

When Manager Wu saw her resume, his eyes lit up instantly.

Chao Yao could see that Manager Wu was satisfied, but his face still had a wooden expression.

The words were spoken slowly and clearly, as if he was singing a hymn.

"Oh, what a lucky guy! Very good, very good!"

Hearing this, Chao Yao felt it was weird.

After thinking about it, this may be because of the special characteristics of people in this industry.

"Did you put on the makeup on your face today yourself?"

"Yes, Manager Wu. Our school offers makeup classes, so I have received professional training."

"Very good. Very good."

This was the second time Manager Wu said it was good, and Chao Yao felt very nervous.

"We are far from the city, so for convenience, we provide food and accommodation. Your salary will be paid once a month on the fifth of each month. We will never delay payment, so you can rest assured. At the same time, we will pay for your six insurances and two housing funds starting from your first month of employment. The internship period is one month, and the internship salary is 80% of your official salary. Take a look, this is the contract. If there is no problem, you can sign it."

Okay, great!

With free food and accommodation as well as welfare benefits, Chao Yao agreed without even thinking twice.

"Are you sure you don't want to reconsider this? You know, we never do makeup on living people."

"I know, but if I don't sign this contract today, I may not be able to survive. There is no one left in my family, so it is impossible for anyone to subsidize my living expenses. I still have 300 yuan in my pocket, and the rent is due tomorrow. If I don't work, I may have to sleep in the park."

"Very good, very good. We just need people like you who need to survive."

After Chao Yao signed, he was taken to the workplace by Manager Wu’s secretary.

"Sister Tian, ​​this is our new makeup artist Chao Yao. She has already signed a contract with our company. I'll trouble you to take care of her from now on."

Chao Yao bowed gently to Sister Tian, ​​"Hello, Sister Tian."

Sister Tian glanced at Chao Yao and continued to work on her work.

"Now that you're here, put your things down and take a look at my workbench. I still need to organize some makeup tools, so you can learn from them first."

The assistant reminded her at this time: "Sister Tian, ​​this new intern will move in with us starting tomorrow. She has to go home to get something today, so she may need to leave work early."

Sister Tian waved her hand and said nonchalantly, "Alright, alright, I got it. I'll let her leave work three hours earlier. This should allow her to go to her own place and back, and it won't be dark when she comes back."

Chao Yao immediately said gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Tian."

"Well, the little girl is quite clever and sweet-talking. In our line of work, you can't just be sweet-talking. You have to learn to talk less."

"Okay Sister Tian, ​​thank you Sister Tian."

Chao Yao stayed with Sister Tian for two hours, and then went straight back to his basement rental apartment.

Fortunately, because I keep changing houses, I have very few things.

I packed up my things casually and called the landlord to say I wanted to check out.

"Xiao Chao, you've rented the place for less than a year and you're already saying you want to move out. I've suffered a lot of losses. Your deposit was one-third of the original payment, so this deposit should be compensation for my losses, so I won't return it."

Chao Yao has encountered such things more than once. In the beginning, she would stomp her feet in anger.

But now, she has already learned her lesson from constant losses.
