Chapter 11

Wei Xiangfeng rode his bicycle home by himself. When he got home, he made porridge and some side dishes for dinner.

After eating and drinking the medicine, he suddenly remembered that Chen Hui paid for the medicine, should he return the money to Chen Hui?But Chen Hui didn't seem to care much about these things, and even if he wanted to pay it back, he might not have the chance to see him again.

Thinking of this, he sighed again.

Recently, I interviewed several schools, and they all "declined" him.Wei Xiangfeng knew that he was not highly educated, and he was not very good at speaking. The interviewers doubted whether he could stand on the podium confidently.

Although Wei Xiangfeng knew that it might be difficult for him to find a new job, he was inevitably saddened by repeated rejections.I was supposed to interview for a job as a private tutor today, but I missed the time because I went to the hospital.I called someone to apologize just now, and they obviously didn't like people like him who were late for appointments, so they directly rejected him.

Wei Xiangfeng started to write manuscripts again, but he still can't find a job. In the future, he will spend all his time except for interviews writing manuscripts.

Most of the manuscripts he wrote some time ago were Chinese knowledge collation and Chinese teaching and education. He submitted them to the local publishing house without much hope, but one of them got a reply and received more than 200 manuscript fees. , Wei Xiangfeng was very happy, took the manuscript fee in the yellow leather envelope, bought an oversized lollipop in a roadside store, and ate it while riding his bicycle happily.

In the evening, Wei Xiangfeng turned on the desk lamp to revise the manuscript.

This time, he plans to write some short stories, fairy tales suitable for children to read. He has written this type of manuscript once before and submitted it to Shao Xing and his magazine.Anyway, he has time now, and he wrote a total of three articles in a few days.

On this day, Wei Xiangfeng went to Shao Xing's magazine to submit an article.He walked to the door of the magazine and knocked on the door. Shao Xing happened to be working. He was very happy to see him here. He took Wei Xiangfeng to the office alone and made tea for him.

Wei Xiangfeng is very grateful, how much he likes a girl like Shao Xing, she treats him very well.Wei Xiangfeng still remembers that he was very nervous when he first came to submit a manuscript. When he entered his studio, he accidentally knocked down a stack of finished magazines on the floor.Shao Xing didn't even think he was clumsy, she regarded him as a friend and even invited him to her wedding.

Wei Xiangfeng handed over the manuscript to Shao Xing.She showed a surprised expression, and said, "Wow! Xiao Wei, has Evans springed up lately? There are three articles at once."

Wei Xiangfeng smiled shyly, and replied, "Ah, I have a lot of free time recently."

"Hey, don't be so modest!" Shao Xing looked at his manuscript for a while, "By the way, I suddenly remembered! Our magazine is also accepting manuscripts on educational practice recently, Xiao Wei, don't you teach Chinese? , you can work with other Chinese teachers to make a manuscript for a Chinese academic salon, how about it, Xiao Wei, are you interested?"

Wei Xiangfeng was stunned for a moment, and replied a little embarrassedly: "I may not be able to write such a manuscript now, and I am still looking for a new job recently." He lowered his head while talking.

"Ah?" Shao Xing was a little surprised, she considered her words, "Have you left your original job?"

Wei Xiangfeng nodded.

The two were talking, when Li Minghe came in carelessly.As soon as he came in, he sat down on the sofa casually, and said, "Shao Xing, quickly get me a bottle of Coke, this damn weather is so hot." In a blink of an eye, he saw Wei Xiangfeng sitting next to him, and said hello, " Yo, you have guests here."

Shao Xing took a bottle of Coke from the refrigerator, threw it to Li Minghe, and said, "Why are you free to come to my place today?"

Li Minghe took a big sip of Coca-Cola, smiled "hehe", "I don't miss you, so I'll come and have a look."

"Come on." Shao Xing was amused by his glib tongue, "I don't know you yet."

Li Minghe coughed twice, and said seriously: "Shao Xing, I just want to ask you, do you have any magazines suitable for the public to read, I want to wholesale hundreds of copies and put them in our hotel. Hey , it must be relaxed and funny, not too profound."

When Shao Xing heard Li Minghe's request, he immediately beamed with joy, "It's just right! I'm worried that I can't deal with the backlog of magazines from the past few months! You're here, and I'll give you a friendly price, [-]% off!"

Li Minghe said with a smile: "You are a profiteer!"

Shao Xing clapped his hands with him and replied, "Everyone!"

Hearing the two of them chatting enthusiastically, Wei Xiangfeng knew that he was not very good at talking, so he really didn't want to stay or leave at this time.

Fortunately, those two people didn't seem to mind his presence, and the things they talked about were quite interesting.Wei Xiangfeng didn't have any good friends who could chat like this, so in the final analysis, seeing the two of them chatting happily made him really envious.

Shao Xing asked Wang Ben and Wan Chi what they were up to recently. Speaking of them, they were young and hadn't had much gathering recently.

"Wanchi is still the same, just busy in their hospital. Wang Ben is so worried," Li Minghe said, laughing loudly, "I heard that Wang Ben's family has been urging marriage every day recently. Chen Hui, the last time the two of us came back from a business trip together, he was still busy with that project, their bank will hold a job fair this Thursday, anyway, they are very busy, and we haven't seen anyone for a few days..."

The two talked intermittently for a while, and then Shao Xing took Li Minghe to pick out magazines.

After more than ten minutes, Shao Xing came back and apologized to Wei Xiangfeng, "I'm sorry, Xiao Wei, I just finished processing the accounts with Li Minghe and left you here."

Wei Xiangfeng stood up, waved his hands, and said, "It's okay, I was very happy to see you chatting just now." He looked at the clock on the wall, and said, "It's getting late, I won't bother you, let's go first It's Shao Xing."

"Wait a minute, Xiao Wei," Shao Xing suddenly remembered what Li Minghe said just now, "Aren't you looking for a job? That friend of mine just happens to be recruiting employees, so go try it."

"But I haven't studied accounting." Wei Xiangfeng lowered his head a little ashamedly.

Shao Xing comforted him and said, "Who said that to work in a bank, one must have studied accounting. There are many people in the job market, and the jobs they are looking for are completely different from their university majors." Shao Xing said Chen went back to the bank's address, edited a text message and sent it to Wei Xiangfeng, encouraging him to give it a try, and said to report to her if he could succeed.

Wei Xiangfeng didn't want to disappoint Shao Xing's kindness.And in his selfish heart, he thinks that Chen Hui is a very upright person, and he is so nice. It must be a very lucky thing to work in his company.

On Thursday, he rode his bicycle to Chen Hui's private bank. Holding his resume in his arms, he walked slowly to the lobby.Seeing that there were six or seven people in line, he followed suit.

After waiting for 10 minutes, when it was finally his turn, he suddenly became very nervous, and his heart was pounding. When the shout of "next person" came from inside, he took a deep breath and walked steadily. walked in.

There are only two interviewers, one is Chen Hui, and the other is a very capable and glamorous lady, who looks a lot like Chen Hui.

Wei Xiangfeng put his resume on the table in front of the two of them, and said "Hello, interviewer". After speaking, he himself felt that this title was a bit strange.Fortunately, the two of them didn't care.Wei Xiangfeng felt that Chen Hui was very different from the previous few times when he met in his spare time at work.He usually seems to be very cheerful and yuppie, but now he is still handsome, but he is serious and serious.

"Name?" Chen Hui asked.

"Wei meets."

"Have you worked in the clerical side of the company before?"

"No, no." He was extremely nervous, "But, I was a Chinese teacher in elementary school and also contributed to a magazine..."

Chen Hui asked him to give a self-introduction, and Wei Xiangfeng talked about his teaching experience, as well as his experience in writing reports. He spoke very slowly and in a soft voice.After he finished speaking, the lady next to him smiled at him and said, "Okay, Mr. Wei, we will send you a message if you are hired, and you can leave now."

Wei Xiangfeng got up and said softly, "Thank you." Then he straightened his chair and walked out.

Two days later, when Wei Xiangfeng received the text message, he was shopping for vegetables in the supermarket. Looking at the words "hired", "detailed discussion", and "signed contract" on the text message, his heart felt like a pot of boiling water Gudu seemed to be bubbling, and I accidentally bought two more Chinese cabbages.

When I went back, the Chinese cabbage was heavy in the bicycle basket, and even when I was leading him around the corner, I felt that the handlebars were a bit out of control, but it didn't matter, he would have a new job soon!He is very grateful to his only friend Shao Xing, he is also so happy, so happy that he wants to share it with someone.

On Monday, he got up early and put on his white shirt. It seemed that it was a bit worn after washing. Wei Xiangfeng decided that he could buy a new one in a few days.

He arrived at the bank too early, and the other employees hadn't come to work yet.Wei Xiangfeng decided to stand at the door and wait.

Chen Hui, the boss, didn't have to arrive so early, but Chen Hui happened to run every morning recently, and he arranged a very clever timeline for himself.That is, after getting up and washing up, it was still early, and there happened to be no traffic in the square downstairs at this time, which happened to be convenient for him to run a few laps in the morning.

After running, he walked to the breakfast shop to have breakfast, and then walked 2 minutes to their bank. He went directly to the lounge of the bank office to wash and change clothes.Chen Hui felt that the itinerary he set was perfect!

After leaving Gu Shuyu and moving to the house here, Chen Hui deeply felt that his lifestyle had become scientific and healthy.

Chen Hui took half a cup of soy milk, walked to the door of their bank, and saw Wei Xiangfeng waiting there.

"It's quite early, Xiao Wei." Chen Hui took out the key and opened the door.

"Ah, you, you're pretty early." Wei Xiangfeng was a little hesitant. How should he address Chen Hui now? Would it be too funny to be called "Boss?" In the end, he called "Mr. Chen."

Chen Hui drank the last few sips of soy milk, threw the paper cup into the trash can next to him, and said, "Come with me, Xiao Wei, and sign the contract first."

"Oh good."

Chen Hui led Wei Xiangfeng to the upstairs office, and said, "I'll go in and change, you sit here and wait for a while."

Wei Xiangfeng nodded obediently and waited there.

Chen went back into the lounge, changed into a suit, came out, sat down at the desk, took out two contracts and handed them to Wei Xiangfeng.Wei Xiangfeng took it and wanted to sign it immediately, Chen Hui smiled and said slowly, "I'll sign after reading."

Wei Xiangfeng felt that he was like a little fool, blushing, and began to read the contract word by word.After reading the whole thing, he was not dissatisfied at all. The working hours and wages in the contract were much better than he thought.

He couldn't help thinking, good people have good friends. Shao Xing treated him very well, and Chen Hui treated him very well. Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at Chen Hui.Then signed the contract.

After that, Chen Hui took him to apply for a salary card.Take him to get acquainted with other employees. Three girls are in charge of the manual window: Xiao Da, Xiao Jiang, and Xiao You. Three boys are in charge of machine operation: Xiao Lu, Xiao Ren, and Xiao Jia. They all seem to have just graduated A college student, he suddenly felt that he was a bit old.

Chen Hui patiently told him about the work he had to do, mainly sorting out the client's transaction list and sending and receiving emails.After telling him, Chen Hui went back to the upstairs office.

Seeing the boss go up, the three girls gathered around to say hello to Wei Xiangfeng, Wei Xiangfeng was flattered.They asked Wei Xiangfeng how old he was, and he replied that he was 30 years old. The girls didn't believe it at first, saying that he was also a college student who had just graduated. a small dimple.The three boys are also very kind to him, taking advantage of the fact that there are still few customers, they even teach him how to use those machines.

Looking at the customers and enthusiastic colleagues, Wei Xiangfeng really felt the vigor and vitality. Although there are still some difficult and unfamiliar places in his work, the goodwill and hope he felt today gave It gave him more and more confidence.

They have a three-hour break at noon. There is no cafeteria here. Colleagues who are close to home can cook at home, or go to the restaurant next to the bank to eat, or they can directly order takeaway and take it back to the tea room. .

At noon, Wei Xiangfeng and the three girls sat at the table in the tea room and ate outside. The girls talked about weight loss, makeup and other issues, and Wei Xiangfeng didn't quite understand. .

The door of the tea room was also closed. When Chen Hui went downstairs and passed the door, the girls also saw him and shouted "Boss!"

The liveliest little girl even teased Chen Hui, "Boss, why don't you come in and eat a chicken drumstick, it's just for you!"

Chen Hui smiled and said, "Eat it yourself." He looked at Wei Xiangfeng for two seconds.

Wei Xiangfeng had sensed Chen Hui's gaze a long time ago. He was wondering when Chen Hui pointed to his left cheek and said three words: "This, rice grains."

The girls all looked at Wei Xiangfeng again, and then he came to his senses and rubbed his face with his hands like a kitten washing his face.Girls' laughter came from the tea room, and Chen Hui also walked out the door with a light smile.

Wei Xiangfeng helped customers fill out forms, some people were really fierce, he would never neglect them, so when he was scolded, he felt that it was good to bear it, and he always felt that people were really anxious, It's not intentional to find fault.

This afternoon, they had a lot of customers and were busy with work.

A middle-aged man with a big shoulder and round waist wearing sandals and slippers probably got impatient. When it was his turn to use the machine to handle business, he said he did not bring his ID card halfway through. Xiaolu explained that he had to use the machine to handle business For the ID card, the man slapped the machine hard, and shouted: "Why don't you tell me if you use the ID card? I transfer half of the money now, so you can tell me what to do!"

Xiaolu had a good temper and invited the man to Wei Xiangfeng's place, saying that he could choose a method that does not require an ID card.The man glared at Xiaolu and sat down on the chair here.Xiaolu wiped the sweat off his forehead, and went to receive the customers behind him again.

Wei Xiangfeng put the information form on the table in front of the man, and said, "Please, please fill in your personal information first." After finishing the two forms, when Wei Xiangfeng took out the third form, the man scolded impatiently, "Why is it so troublesome, I'm so annoying."

Wei Xiangfeng persuaded: "Please don't worry, after filling out this form, we will handle it for you immediately..."

The man interrupted him: "I can't be in a hurry! I still have a lot of things to do, and I despise you guys who are neither male nor female!"

Little Answer saw that something was wrong here, so he hurried to the upstairs office to call Chen Hui.

The man's voice was loud, and some customers around looked over here.

Wei Xiangfeng felt hot on his face, and he was eager to get things done, but the words "neither man nor woman" reminded him of many bad memories.

He clearly knows intellectually that he is a staff member who faces difficulties from customers, and it is enough to deal with the incident with a professional attitude; situation.

He kept telling himself in his heart to get out of this kind of thinking.

He tried his best to smile at the man and said, "I understand your feelings. Don't be angry. We will handle the business for you right away." When Wei Xiangfeng said this, his voice was trembling, and he hoped no one would hear it.

The man kicked the table and shouted, "Hurry up!"

Wei Xiangfeng frantically helped the man fill out the form. When he turned around to look for the seal, he found Chen Hui standing at the stairs.Chen Hui seemed to have no expression on his face, and Wei Xiangfeng asked in his heart: How long has Chen Hui been standing there watching, does he think I'm worthless.

Wei Xiangfeng fastened the seal on the form, counted the money just taken out with the money counter, and handed both hands to the man.The man spit on his fingers, counted some money, and finally walked out the door swaggeringly.

Wei Xiangfeng's hanging heart finally let go.

He still looked at the place where Chen Hui was standing just now, and found that he was no longer there. Wei Xiangfeng didn't know why, but suddenly felt a strong sense of loss.

Xiao Da came over to comfort him and praised him for what he did just now. Their job is to meet all kinds of people and tell him to relax.Wei Xiangfeng understood these principles, and after thanking Xiao Xiao, everyone went to work on their own.

But until the evening, Wei Xiangfeng was not in a good mood. The three girls thought that he was still afraid of what happened in the afternoon, so they asked him to go to the movies.Wei Xiangfeng hurriedly said that he was fine.

He was the last one to leave at night. He checked the lights in the hall and they were turned off.He folded the documents on the table neatly and locked the door.

Wei Xiangfeng rode his bicycle in the evening wind.

In his mind, the scene kept reappearing: Chen Hui stood at the corner of the stairs, looking at him with an expression he didn't know.

Wei Xiangfeng felt that he was shameless and annoying, and he kept asking himself: Chen Hui only helped you a few times, he took you through the crowd at Shao Xing's wedding; he took you to the hospital; jobs.How can you still think about asking others to help you more?He is your boss, and there is nothing wrong with the boss letting the employees handle things.

It's just that he still thought, if he didn't handle the matter in the afternoon well, would Chen Hui be disappointed with him?Wei Xiangfeng didn't know the answer, he thought, and he didn't have the right to seek the answer.

He rode a little faster, and the evening wind lifted his hair.
