At the age of 22, Sheng Xiao was a senior student in Licheng.

The name of their school is good, and one can tell that their ideological consciousness is very high, but it is a pity that the school history is vulnerable.

After hearing the name of the school, the taxi driver would usually ask, "It's the original 'Zhenxing Technical School', right?"

If you look carefully, you will find that most of the school's professional teachers were laid-off workers from the Licheng Electric Appliance Factory in the past...but they are also right.

Sheng Xiao's class is the first batch of regular full-time undergraduates recruited by the school.At the time of enrollment, the head of the department kept saying that the ratio of male to female in this major was 10:1, but according to the spontaneous observations of everyone, they agreed that this data should include janitors, and the real ratio must be 32:1.

Why exactly 32?instead of 30?Not 35 either?

Because there are 32 students in Sheng Xiao's class, and none of them are girls.

Of course, all the students knew how many points they had scored in the test. The school and the students each spent three years with the feelings of "thank you for your support" and "thank you for your support".

In the senior year, in order to make the employment rate of the first undergraduate graduates look better, the school held several mobilization meetings non-stop as soon as the semester started, portraying the social situation as urgent, and their students are just like "Heaven is about to drop a big task to this place" He is the socialist successor of "People Are", and he preached that "heroes don't ask where they come from", "education is not the most important", "the key to determining a person's future is actually the attitude after joining the work".

Between the words, the dean wished to personally whip everyone out of the school to find a job, lest the group of people who are lazy and lazy would slow down the employment rate of fresh graduates.

Although the students were lazy, Sheng Xiao's counselor was a very motivated person. Within two days, he came to the dormitory with a stack of "honorary certificates" and "award certificates" of various names. , thoughtfully arranged according to the "award year" and then distributed to the students. I remind everyone not to take the wrong ones, and don't forget to put them away, and rush to work overnight to make each student's file look good in character and learning. .Failing a course or getting a demerit, those things never existed.

The school contacted some enterprises to recruit people from the school.Judging from the names, these enterprises are also a certain company or a certain group, but people generally call them "a certain factory" habitually.Other schools hold "recruitment" fairs, but their schools hold "job recruiting" fairs.

Even so, young hearts are relatively easy to impress.I couldn't stand the hard work of the counselors and the wild bombardment of the employment office. As it was said to be the class with "the largest number of fresh graduates in the past ten years", everyone believed that the pressure of employment was high, and they rushed to the fire like moths. Squeeze in.

Soon someone asked, why do you have so many student union chairmen?

In order to reduce the density of student union chairmen, the school has introduced a new policy, subsidized the school bus fee, and provided free round-trip transportation between the dormitory building and off-campus job fairs.

Year after year, the equipment usage fee was much higher than that of similar schools, and it was the first time that everyone saw money back, so they got into the car one after another, and Sheng Xiao also went.

Large-scale job fairs are much more oriented, and people who go there for the first time will be dizzy. Everyone gets lost after walking for a long time, and they still haven't seen any companies that expressly recruit their majors.

After walking around the venue for half a circle, Sheng Xiao looked at a recruitment advertisement on a roll-up bill for five seconds, pointed at it with an unlit cigarette in between, and asked his roommate Wang Zhigao who came with him : "Old Wang, is this our profession?"

This was the first time he saw a unit that recruited their major outside the school. He didn't expect that their pheasant university could at least get the major name right, which was really touching.

Wang Zhigao, who was standing in front of him, turned his head suddenly: "Brother Xiao, I beg you for something."

Sheng Xiao was about to walk in and almost bumped into him: "What's wrong?"

Wang Zhigao said: "Something happened to my family, and my younger brother is about to take the college entrance examination. I have to find a job quickly, or I won't be able to get it at home."

"What happened...?" Sheng Xiao seriously took a few seconds to digest this matter.

He and Lao Wang lived in the same dormitory for more than three years. From the daily consumption, it can be seen that his family is relatively ordinary, but it is by no means poor, and he has never heard that Lao Wang has a younger brother.

However, he and Lao Wang are ordinary classmates and share a bed. There is really no need for him to tell the whole story about his family situation.

Just like other people in the dormitory may not have a clear understanding of Sheng Xiao's family situation.

After all, they were buddies who had been together for several years. Before Lao Wang could elaborate, Sheng Xiao put the cigarette in his mouth, and boldly took out his wallet and patted it in his hand: "There is no obstacle that cannot be overcome, take it, give it to my brother Buy books."

"Brother Xiao, I can't take this." Lao Wang shook his head and handed him the wallet back, "You are also from the countryside, and it's all the hard-earned money from the family."

Sheng Xiao: "..."

Come to think of it, this is literally true.

He asked Wang Zhigao, "Then what are you going to do?"

"Brother Xiao, you just need to go in a little farther away from me." Lao Wang leaned over and whispered, "Our resumes are similar. When someone sees your photo, he immediately throws away my resume, right? .”

"Fuck you, are you a beauty pageant?" Sheng Xiao scolded him with a smile, "Okay, then you go, I'll come back after a while."

He watched Lao Wang go to the desk of the recruiting company, took another look at the recruiting roll-up, and reconsidered the difficulties Lao Wang just mentioned.

In the golden autumn of September, the hall was crowded and smelled of sweat, so Sheng Xiao simply left the venue.

He leaned against an empty table at the door and smoked, while thinking about a philosophical proposition for the umpteenth time: indeterminism.

When he thought of the keyword "freedom", a girl with a crisp voice appeared beside him and asked, "Student, are you here to apply for the job?"

Hearing it was a girl's voice, Sheng Xiao, who was trained in the Zhenxing Academy so well that he could see the double eyelids of a sow, immediately politely blew the cigarette into a place where no one was around: "Huh?"

When he turned his head, the girl felt a little embarrassed, and asked, wringing her fingers, "I mean...are you applying for a part-time job?"

"part time?"

Sheng Xiao has a special skill because of his natural good looks: Even if he is in a moment of sluggishness, ordinary people will never be able to detect it from his smile.

"What part-time job?"

The girl was a little disappointed when she heard that she didn't apply for the job: "Etiquette host."

Following the gestures of the recruiting girl, it turned out that there was an X display stand of a wedding company on the side of the table, on which were written the requirements for the applicant's height, appearance, education, Mandarin and host qualification certificate.

Sheng Xiao pointed at the last two lines: "I don't have any of these two certificates."

The recruiter girl muttered in a low voice: "Actually, not all customers have to see the certificate."

Sheng Xiao came to the job fair and walked around to find out that, just like what the counselor said, even butchering pigs now requires a certificate to work.He wondered if it is really necessary to lower the standard, first find a unit to start accumulating working hours, and take the technician certificate after two years.

"Then..." The recruiter girl didn't give up, "Then are you interested in car models and exhibitions? Can you leave a contact information? The jobs we contact here are absolutely formal, you can rest assured about that."

"Model?" Sheng Xiao raised his eyebrows, following the thought just now, he thought of "freedom" and "choice", so he took out a copy from his resume and handed it over, "Mine."

September in Licheng was too hot, so hot that people wondered if it hadn’t been hot for two months during the summer vacation, and it was all saved until September for a one-time broadcast.

Within two days, the high temperature and crowding melted some people's belief in finding a job.The young heart beats quickly, forgets quickly, and the employment pressure and situation are severe?Everyone forgets after sleeping.

One day, Sheng Xiao was playing online games with his classmates in the dormitory, when the phone rang: "Student Sheng Xiao, do you have time on Thursday and Friday this week? Can you come to save us?"

The senior year's courses exist in name only, attendance is useless, Sheng Xiao has time, but he didn't realize it: "What are you saving?"

The girl cheered for a while, "That's great, that's great", lest he change his mind, she reported her salary first: "Thursday comes for two hours of rehearsal, and Friday for two hours of official activities. If there is no problem, I can get [-]!"

The 2011 yuan in 5000 made Sheng Xiao throw away his keyboard and mouse and practice Ye Luzi's "stepping" all night in the dormitory. The next morning, he took a cold shower, shaved clean, and took a taxi there.

The rehearsal location is the banquet hall of an internationally renowned five-star hotel.Only when Sheng Xiao arrived did he realize that the job waiting for him was not a model.

The girl stuffed him with a stack of A4 paper, folded her hands together and begged repeatedly: "You don't have many words, really not many, they are all spoken words, there are not many to memorize by rote, I have already drawn them for you with a highlighter. "

A couple with an unusual family background wanted to hold their wedding in a hotel, requiring not only Western-style guest seats for the ceremony, but also traditional Chinese-style Q&A and narration.Among them, the most expensive and most dreamy plot is that the bride is wearing an eight-meter-long drag wedding dress, sitting on a giant moon-shaped LED light box, slowly descending from the roof of the banquet hall more than ten meters high, and falling to the rose petal-covered garden. Central to the red carpet.

The wedding company had rehearsed once before, but the father-in-law was dissatisfied. The reason was that the master of ceremonies hired by the wedding company did not know how many people's weddings he had hosted and how many people's wedding wine he had drunk. , vulgar.

After the bride came down with the quiet moonlight, she was greeted by a MC with a waistline of four feet and a shiny face... Is this marrying a daughter?Why does this look like falling into a pigsty?

The father-in-law lost his appetite on the spot, saying that he didn't want to see such a greasy person on the stage with his daughter, especially on the day of marriage.He asked the wedding company to replace it with a "professional, high-level host" to take the stage, and "the mode of hosting should not be so rustic, it is best to be like the Spring Festival Gala, with a man and a woman singing together."

I don't know how this family is so powerful, they invited Xiaohuadan, the head of Licheng TV station, whose professional level is not inferior to that of the provincial TV station, and the lines are almost memorized after reading it.Sheng Xiao was simpler, as long as he was in charge of the "advanced" part.

Putting on a suit, the moment he stepped onto the stage, the entire wedding scene immediately went up in class.

After the wedding, the guests and the host enjoyed themselves, and Sheng Xiao was "counting the cash face to face" in the background. Before he could take off his suit and return it, the girl from the wedding company came to him and asked him, "Aren't you looking for a job? Someone wants to introduce you It's work, do you want to go and have a look?"

The bride's father led Sheng Xiao into a luxurious private room with a respectful attitude, which was very different from when he was in charge of a wedding company.

He raised his hands as if beckoning, and introduced the distinguished guest seated at the top with a smile: "This is the leader of the reception desk of our municipal party committee."

When Sheng Xiao heard the job introduction from the leader of the government, did he have to introduce him to a civil servant or something?

Isn't this "one step to the sky"?

A few days later, he arrived at No. 888, Lianhua New District with his luggage.

It was a building that had just been topped out not long ago, and the interior had not yet been fully renovated. The Mingquan International Conference Center was in the preparation stage.

The troops stationed in Licheng transferred several instructors with real guns and guns to conduct militarized training for them. More than 200 people were divided into several squads, and they were flying around in the sky full of yellow sand.Later, after finally getting rid of the instructor, a group of managers and other managers who speak Beijing accents suddenly came, and they didn't look at anyone seriously, and they always liked to order him to move things.

Sheng Xiao is a person with a temper, and he didn't get angry because of the seemingly inexplicable relationship between this group of people and the city government, but it doesn't mean that he agrees with others to instigate him.

Just when he was about to pack up and leave, Mingquan International Conference Center opened for trial operation.

He did not move things in vain for several months. The front office manager was the first to recommend him as the supervisor of the concierge department.

What is the concept of 400 yuan?

According to the local electricity price in Licheng, 400 yuan can buy 200 kilowatt-hours of electricity in the third gradient, and nearly 500 kilowatt-hours of electricity in the first gradient.If there is an electric car, the electricity is enough to transport the things he has moved a dozen or twenty times.

After doing this calculation, it seems that people didn't take advantage of him by using the money to buy the effort he spent before, but he should be grateful.

He stayed again.

Not long after it opened, one day, Sheng Xiao was standing at the entrance of the front hall, thinking about philosophy, waiting to open the door for the guests to pick up their luggage. At this time, the manager of the lobby took the key and fixed the sensor door in the "open and lock" position, and the security department staff shouted. Standing in a row, twelve welcoming guests from the food and beverage department wore sleeveless cheongsams and filed out. Against the severe cold wind in February, they lined up fragrantly and stood outside the glass door.

Across the fountain, Sheng Xiao saw a group of cars driving in mightily from the main gate.

As soon as the car door opened, the leader who was sitting in the chief wedding room entered the store right after the secretary of the municipal party committee.

After the banquet that day, the general manager saw off the guests at the door with a gracious expression on his face. The leader deliberately came over, pointed at Sheng Xiao and said, "This is what a five-star hotel manager looks like."

That night, Sheng Xiao was listening to music with his earphones plugged into the staff dormitory. The manpower boss who hadn't looked at him a few times in the past walked in without knocking on the door, and pulled off his earphones: "Xiao Sheng, it's your turn to get a good job! One year of paid study in Beijing! Oh, this is an opportunity that many people rush to go to! Get up quickly, pack your things, book the train ticket, book the earliest car, and I will let the administration run the car after a while Come here and take you to the train station!"

At that time, no one had proposed the concept of "smog". For Beijing's grayish-yellow air, people just regarded it as an unclean sandstorm, and joked that newly polished leather shoes would turn gray after walking two steps in the capital.

Sheng Xiao has lived in his hometown and Licheng for more than 20 years. He has never seen a building without a balcony. He did not expect to gain experience in the capital. He has no doubt that the management company's dormitory building is older than himself.

This year's manager training class is not what the human resources boss said, "It's just a coincidence, the class just started, and there is an extra quota", but the class has been attended for two months, and he came in by "Gaser".Sheng Xiao went to the classroom and took a look. From age to experience, he was a different kind of person. He didn't fit in with a group of managers in their 40s and [-]s who had worked in major hotels for at least ten years.

There was clearly an invisible sign hanging on his body, which read: Exceptional promotion.

This is probably the least favorite word for those who have worked hard for more than ten years to get the qualification to enter this classroom.

Although Baixiang is a service management company, it is definitely not a place to teach people how to be a grandson.On the walls of the corridors of the dormitory building, there are corporate culture slogans pasted at intervals, one of which reads: Men are gentlemen, women are ladies.

What is a gentleman like?At least a gentleman will never know that people don't like him, and he will go up to have a barbecue with him.

One day after class, Sheng Xiao returned to the dormitory after eating a large pot of food at the staff meal, opened the door and saw a person lying on the other bed that was originally empty in the room, playing with his mobile phone.

This is already his second temporary roommate.

The sign in the hallway closest to his door reads "Cosmopolitan Family", which means that there are strangers lying in his room, and instead of turning a blind eye to indifference, he has to act like "Oh my God, this is a surprise from God" , greeted warmly.

Sheng Xiao raised his spirits and took a deep breath: "Hello?"

The other party obviously didn't have his awareness, and was still lying on the bed playing games, and lazily replied: "Oh, wait a minute..."

Ever since arriving in Beijing, Sheng Xiao has been used to being neglected by his classmates, and it's not too late.He stood quietly by the bed, silently watching the man play a Xianxia mobile game.

"哐, 哐, 哐" three consecutive critical strikes, the man knocked the enemy to the ground, and the screen reminded that the battle was over-it was obvious that he had spent a lot of money on the game.

The person lying on the bed breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that there was another guy standing beside him, so he condescendingly glanced back.

The glance was incredible, as if he didn't understand it, the man immediately stood up and looked back at Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao returned with a kind and formatted smile.

He smiles like he can gather the beauty of a whole street, a whole house, or a whole day into one place, so much so that people who meet him often don't care whether he is always like this, or just smiling to himself.

Like the sea and the universe, it is not necessary to have everything to be born as a human being, as long as you can be in it, you will be grateful and satisfied.

With Sheng Xiao's smile, that person's expression was a little dazed for a moment, then he jumped up from the bed, stretched out his hand, and said with an eager and innocent smile, "Hello!"
