Chapter 37: Down and Out (3)
Chapter 37
Fang Zhiqiang was discouraged and directly prepared to go home, but only to find that he only had four dollars in total, and four dollars was not enough to take the subway home. After thinking for a while, he checked the time, and went straight into the subway station, then took out his cell phone and called Lao Bi.
Twenty minutes later, Fang Zhiqiang came to the downstairs of Lao Bi's company, and Lao Bi also stood there waiting for him.
"What's wrong? What's important?" Old Bi asked with concern.
"Have you eaten?"
"Eat it, why, are you going to invite me to dinner?" Old Bi Xizi said.
"After you have eaten, you can eat with me again. You can see which stores around you taste good. Let's find a place to eat." Fang Zhiqiang nodded and said.
"Let's go to that Sichuan restaurant. That Sichuan restaurant tastes very good. In addition, it is your hometown food. Let's go there. It's a bit expensive. Did you bring that much money?"
"Don't worry, even if you eat, money is not a problem." Fang Zhiqiang said boldly, and then went directly to the store with Fang Zhiqiang.
Lao Bi was very polite and only ordered four or five dishes. He thought that Fang Zhiqiang was making a fortune and would like to treat him to a meal, so he was very happy.
"By the way, Qiangzi, you came to me today simply to treat me to dinner, right? What are you looking for? I'll have to go to work later, let's say something." Old Bi was happy. Ate and asked Fang Zhiqiang.
"It's okay. The main reason is that I haven't seen you for a while. I want to see you and chat. Secondly, I only have four dollars in total. I can't get home with the four dollars by subway. Forget it, I can only come to you, so I came to you. You can give me a few dollars later so that I can take the subway home. Besides, I have not eaten in the morning, so I will come to you for a meal." Fang Zhi Qiang replied while eating.
Old Bi's eyes widened, and only after a long time did he point to the dishes on the table: "What you mean is that you didn't ask me for this meal, I asked you, right?".
"Yes, I don't have any money on my body, how can I please? Why didn't you invite me to dinner, why did I deliberately drive to you?" Fang Zhiqiang said solemnly.
"Fang Zhiqiang, your uncle, you lied to Laozi. If I knew how I would order so much when I paid, you are a big liar." Old Bi was "angry".
"When did I lie to you? I never said from beginning to end that I would invite you."
"Qianzi, didn't you have two jobs, and didn't you give you such a high salary to serve that rich woman? How come you are penniless?" Old Bi couldn't understand.
"One more sentence, I will serve the rich woman. Believe me or not I will break your relationship with you?"
"Certainly, I didn't say anything, what is going on with you?" Old Bi quickly conceded.
"What else is going on, I was fired by the courier company, and then I fired that cheap dad's job again, so I am now unemployed. I have paid off all the money I had before, and the little money I had either lost the express delivery The company may have to spend it by myself. The last four dollars were spent on the way to you from the job fair, so my brother’s pocket is cleaner than my face now. Waiter, come with some more food. I eat more Point, after eating this meal, I don't know when the next meal will be served." Fang Zhiqiang said as he asked the waiter to add food.
"Brother, is it so miserable?" Old Bi's eyes widened.
"It's worse than you think. Fortunately, there is a brother like you, otherwise I'm going to take a bowl and sleep in the underground passage."
"According to you, you are now unemployed again?"
"Yes, it's unemployed, but don't use this word, it makes it like I am often unemployed."
"You just said the job fair, did you go to find a job?"
"I lost more than ten yuan in subway fare every time I went, did you say I found it?"
Old Bi looked at Fang Zhiqiang, and said with a heavy tone: "Qianzi, now there is too much competition pressure here, and the economic environment is far worse than in earlier years, so there are fewer jobs to be recruited, but college students who graduate every year do More and more, Liu Yan and I also benefited from coming here as soon as I left university and found a job. If we change to the present, I guess we can only go to sweep the streets. You, no work experience, we learned again It’s not a mainstream major, and it’s hard to find a job. Hadron, if it doesn’t work, you can go home. If you go home, your family will be familiar with the local area. You can find a job in any way, not to mention the high salary. You can always feed yourself, right?"
"How do I go back? How can I pay the debt of more than 500,000 yuan when I go back?" Fang Zhiqiang asked back.
Hearing Fang Zhiqiang's words, Lao Bi seemed hesitant to say something. Finally, he couldn't help but Fang Zhiqiang said: "Brother, I didn't deliberately hit you by being a brother. I want to tell you because I am a brother. What do you say are you holding on? You found Nie Qian, and there are results, and you also saw that people are rich now, and they are following the rich. Why do you still help her carry the 500,000 yuan? Debt? It’s fine if your shoulders are wide enough to support it, but your shoulders are not so wide. You can’t afford it. Why do you have to support it here? You can’t even afford to eat and play The literary youth set up to pay more than half a million debts for a woman who dumped you. Why are you? You don’t feel bad for yourself. I feel bad when you look at you like this."
Fang Zhiqiang shook his head, lit a cigarette, and after taking a few puffs, he said, "Lao Bi, everyone has his own principles when he lives. If a person lives without even the principles, what's the point of being alive? Okay, don’t worry about my buddies, we are aspiring young people who are working hard to grow up to realize the four modernizations of the motherland. We can never starve to death in this wave of capitalism, right? Okay, you go to work, give me ."
"What?" Looking at Fang Zhiqiang's hand extended, Bi Luochun didn't know what he was doing.
"What are you talking about? Give me ten dollars and I take the subway to go back. You won't let me walk back, right?"
"Your uncle, do I owe you or something? I'm so fierce to ask for money." Bi Luochun was very aggrieved and took out a piece of 100 from his bag and gave it to Fang Zhiqiang.
Fang Zhiqiang just got on the subway home, and then his phone rang again. Fang Zhiqiang took out his phone and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello!"
"Hello, is it Mr. Fang Zhiqiang?" There was a girl's voice from the other side, which was very nice.
"Yes, I am I am, may I ask you who?"
"I am Summi International Department Store Co., Ltd., congratulations, you have been accepted by our company, and I am here to inform you to come to work tomorrow."
"Summi International Department Store? Go to work?" Fang Zhiqiang couldn't help muttering. In his memory, he didn't seem to have applied for a company like this today? He has no impression at all.
"Yes, are you Mr. Fang Zhiqiang?" The other side apparently heard Fang Zhiqiang's voice and asked directly.
"Yes, my name is Fang Zhiqiang."
"Then is this your cell phone number?"
"Yes!"
"That's right. Please be sure to report to the personnel department of Sammy International Department Store Dongfeng Store before nine o'clock tomorrow morning. The address is 145 Dongfeng Road. If you have other questions, you can call this number. This is our personnel department. Goodbye." After confirming Fang Zhiqiang's identity, the other side hung up the phone after saying what he should say.
"What the **** is this, when I applied for such a company, I don't know myself? Forget it, don't hesitate, am I still qualified to pick others? It's pretty good if I have a class." Talking to himself in disbelief while holding the phone.
In fact, this so-called Senmei International Fang Zhiqiang is no stranger to everyone in Shanghai. This is one of the largest department stores in Shanghai. Fang Zhiqiang knows that there is one in Shanghai Senmei International Department Store. Three, and this so-called Dongfeng shop is one of them.
Fang Zhiqiang fell asleep after returning home. He got up too early this morning and was really sleepy. Fang Zhiqiang slept until 6 o'clock in the afternoon as soon as he fell asleep, and was awakened by a knock on the door.
Fang Zhiqiang opened the door sleepily, and was shocked to find Li Xiaoxiao standing at the door.
As soon as Li Xiaoxiao saw Fang Zhiqiang, she screamed, her face blushed, and she turned around and shouted, "Why don't you wear pants!"
Fang Zhiqiang lowered his head sleepily, only to realize that he was not wearing any clothes, but was wearing a pair of briefs.
"Sorry, sorry, just got up." Fang Zhiqiang was also taken aback, and said quickly, then he closed the door and hurried to the bed to get dressed. His sleeping habit is to take off and wear only a pair of underwear to sleep. Most boys sleep like this. It's just that I slept in a daze today, and when I heard someone knock on the door, I just passed by, forgetting that I was not wearing any clothes.
Fang Zhiqiang hurriedly dressed his clothes neatly. An old face turned a little red to open the door, and said to Li Xiaoxiao who was waiting at the door: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just woke up, I just forgot to put on my clothes. ."
"You are so real, you can't sleep without clothes, not even pajamas." Li Xiaoxiao walked in with blushing face, complaining to Fang Zhiqiang.
"Why are you here?" Fang Zhiqiang asked while sitting on the bed. He hasn't recovered too much yet.
"What's the matter? Can't come over. I'll come over and let you invite me to dinner!"
"I invite you to dinner? Why? Why?"
"Does it need a reason to invite beautiful women to dinner?"
"Aren't you nonsense, no one's money is blown by the wind, you must have a reason for asking me to invite you to dinner? Besides, what happened to the beauties? The beauties can't be eaten." Fang Zhiqiang was angry. Talking.
"You really have no demeanor, petty man. I don't care, I'm here, anyway, you want to invite me to dinner today." Li Xiaoxiao was furious.
"reason?"
"No reason."
"Then I won't ask."
"I called without you."
"what is it call?"
"Called rape!"
"I won't ask you to break your throat."
"reason?"
"Because I have no money, how can I invite dinner if I don't have money?"
"You don't even have money to eat?"
"No, now I have nothing except my own one hundred catties. You can ask me to invite you to dinner. You can see where my body is valuable, and see if I can buy you a meal. , You look at the knife."
"Come on, let me ask you to eat!" Li Xiaoxiao was defeated by Fang Zhiqiang.
