[Full Time] Idol

Li Yan took a puff of cigarette and exhaled a smoke ring. After watching it slowly dissipate in the air, she said casually: "You really know that it's old-fashioned to strike up a conversation like this?"

"I'm just talking casually, don't worry about it." After the man finished speaking, both of them fell into silence, hesitating and smoky. Looking at the door from a distance, it was almost covered by smoke, just like the brush boy in a fairy tale. The lair of monsters.

Li Yan smoked quickly and quickly, and she finished a cigarette in a short while. She looked at the burnt cigarette holder between her fingers and sighed. She took out the ten yuan from her pocket and planned to buy a box of cigarettes. Just when I was about to talk, a customer in the bar came to the bar to buy something.

"Handsome guy, bring me a box of Yellow Crane Tower."

The man responded, and walked back to the bar to offer cigarettes for others, and the two chatted casually.

"Huh? Isn't Sister Chen here just now?"

"The boss is in a bad mood, so he went to rest."

The guest showed a clear expression, "That's right, Sister Chen's favorite is Excellent Era's Ye Qiu, this must be very sad."

The man didn't answer any more, he gave the cigarette to the man, and the man went back after finding the money.

When he stood next to Li Yan again, just as she was about to ask to buy cigarettes, the other party stuffed her half pack of cigarettes over first: "I just came to work, and I haven't received my salary yet, so you can use this as a top. "

Li Yan struggled for a while, then took the cigarette and said calmly: "I will return the cigarette to you when I find a job."

The man agreed very readily: "Okay, you don't need to give me a whole box, just half of it. There are still eight sticks in here, right?"

Li Yan opened the cigarette case and glanced at it, took out one and held it in her mouth, then took out another and handed it to the man, "This is my treat."

"Okay." The man didn't shirk and said no, he took it and lit it.

After another round of clouds and mist, Li Yan couldn't help but start thinking about her future after getting rid of her addiction to cigarettes. The reason why she returned to China and came here is because this is where her registered permanent residence is located.

She was originally a foreigner. Her parents divorced when she was in elementary school, and her mother took her to remarry here, so her household registration was changed to a local one.

She used to be very familiar with this city, because she was not used to her new family when she was young, and she liked to sneak out to play, saying that she had no playmates, just wandering around aimlessly.

The man stared at Li Yan for a long time, hesitated to speak, and finally asked: "Did you really run away from home?"

Li Yan looked back at him and asked, "How old do you think I am now?"

The man asked uncertainly: "21 Two?"

"I'm 25 this year." Li Yan was a little helpless. She had a baby face and looked younger. In addition, her dressing style was girlish, so she looked very young.

Fortunately, she has a baby face, which allows her to spend a few more years in this industry.

But 25 years old is still a bit old for being an idol.

"25?" The man was slightly surprised, and clicked his tongue: "I really didn't see it."

"Everyone says that." Li Yan took the cigarette butt and didn't know where to throw it, so she simply put it in her pocket. She stroked the folds on her clothes, and then looked at the man a few times. She was slightly blind and recognized people. The ability is very poor, "Are you all on the night shift?"

"Ah."

"What's your name, I'll come and pay you back if I have money."

The other party smiled casually and said his name. "Ye Xiu, take care of yourself first. I'm not in a hurry. I probably have to spend a lot of time here."

The work of network management is indeed very fluid, and most of them are young people. Li Yan sees that Ye Xiu is about the same age as her, and it is quite miserable to work as a night shift network manager in an Internet cafe at this age.

Involuntarily, she developed a feeling of sympathy.

No matter how old you are, if you say that you will be beaten by reality in pursuit of your dreams, and you should respect reality, but there will inevitably be a little commotion in your heart.

However, Li Yan was already exhausted. She had been struggling for nearly ten years, and her dreams had long been wiped out. What she wanted most now was a stable job.

"Do you know where people are recruiting nearby? Just include food and accommodation." She doesn't have so much time to pick and choose now, so she can only stabilize the board and lodging first, and the rest can only be discussed later.

"This...seems to be true." Ye Xiu remembered that when he went to run errands to buy food today, he saw the small restaurant across the road recruiting waiters. "On the opposite side, there is a restaurant looking for waiters. I remember that it includes food and lodging. It's like [-] a month."

Two thousand a month can only be regarded as a lower-middle income in the local area, but the advantage is that it includes food and housing, so it doesn't cost much, "Do you think I can do it?"

Ye Xiu looked at her again and nodded: "This area is mainly because there are many students coming. If you speak Mandarin better, it should be fine. You can try it tomorrow."

Li Yan nodded, showing a smile, with a sincere expression: "Thank you."

Ye Xiu smiled and asked: "It's okay, if you really hire me, can you deliver it to me when I order food?"

After Li Yan heard this, she shook the cigarette case in her hand at him: "If it really happens, this will count as my errand fee for delivering the food."

The opening hours of small restaurants are relatively random. Li Yan checked out of the room at ten o'clock, and then dragged her suitcase to find the small restaurant that she said yesterday that she wanted to recruit people.

Small restaurants are very common on the side of the road. A meal for three or four people does not cost 100 yuan. The restaurant is not big, only one floor, and can accommodate about [-] or [-] people at a time. The inside is very clean.

The boss is a middle-aged couple who are not from the local area. Li Yan was a little dazed when she heard their accent. It was the accent of her hometown.

But because she has been outside for too long, she is also a little unfamiliar with the dialect of her hometown. She stumbled and communicated with the couple. There is always an inexplicable intimacy when meeting fellow villagers in other places. After asking a few questions, and After trying Li Yan's ability, the couple decided to hire Li Yan and try it out for a month.

The couple are also real people, and they made the conditions clear to Li Yan. The salary during the trial period is [-], including food and housing, and they live in a small room behind the store. There are only three people in the store. The boss is The chef and the proprietress are in charge of the cashier and also help in the kitchen. The couple have a son, and they come home to help during the holidays.

Li Yan’s job is to order food, serve dishes and clear the tables. The store opens at ten o’clock every morning, and she can get up at 09:30 to make preparations. There is no fixed time to rest in the middle. Anyway, she can rest when she is free. At night, it depends on the situation. , it closes later on weekends, usually around ten o'clock.

You can take one day off a week, but not on weekends.

The husband and wife led Li Yan to the room to store the luggage. The room was not big, with a bed, a cabinet and a dressing table. It turned out that the waiter who had left lived there. With such conditions, she was very satisfied, because today is a working day. , This store basically has no business, so the proprietress has nothing to do, she is very enthusiastic to help Li Yan pack her luggage.

The suitcase contained all her belongings. Apart from clothes, there were also some daily necessities. The most valuable thing should be a second-hand notebook that had been used for many years.

After the proprietress helped clean up, she took out 200 yuan from her pocket and handed it to Li Yan, saying that the woolen coat on Li Yan was too thin, and there were no thick clothes in the suitcase, so she took the money to buy a cotton-padded jacket first.

"The winter here is very cold, not as good as in my hometown, so the money will be deducted from the salary."

Holding the money, Li Yan was a little moved when she saw the chattering proprietress.She didn't hesitate to accept it.

The proprietress asked Li Yan to go buy it now, but Li Yan didn't agree. Since she came to work, she must have the consciousness of working part-time. She packed up her things and came out to work formally.

Standing in the store, he could see the Xingxin Internet Cafe on the opposite side. During the daytime, the Xingxin Internet Cafe was bigger and there were quite a few customers from afar.

Li Yan was sweeping the floor while chatting with the proprietress, because the proprietress' name was Lu Juan, so she called her Sister Juan.

"Sister Juan, the Internet cafe opposite is doing very well."

"That's right, Excellent Era is right across from it just now. Many Excellent Era fans like to surf the Internet here. This Internet cafe has a good relationship with our store. We usually buy our meals here." The woman chatted. Gossip is unstoppable.

Sister Juan talked about the opposite story: "The owner of the Internet cafe, Chen Guo, is not easy. Her father passed away when she was in high school, and this girl didn't go to college. She stayed to manage the Internet cafe. It’s not so big, she managed it all by herself, this little girl is quite capable.”
