door to happiness

Lu Zimei put a newspaper in front of me, with an advertisement circled in red pen. It was an advertisement for the beauty editor of "Fashion Trends".She raised her eyebrows: "Our company recruits two editors, and I recommended you to the editor-in-chief. Do you want to give it a try?"

Lu Zimei recommended me to the magazine as an art editor?This is really an amazing thing!We have always been incompatible with each other, there must be some tricks in it!

""Fashion Trends", this is one of the largest magazines! I had a lot of connections to get in, so you should cherish this opportunity and decide for yourself!" She left without waiting for my answer. .

I have heard of the popularity of "Fashion Trends", which is a new benchmark in the fashion industry.

Lu Zimei took a lot of effort to squeeze in, and I know that too!In order to become an intern editor, he not only gave the head of the department expensive Biluochun, but also invited acquaintances in the magazine to dinner, and there were many red envelopes.Not to mention anything else, just because of this incident, her mother postponed an extra issue of the social magazine, which would have cost thousands of dollars!But why did she leave such an opportunity to me?What kind of medicine was sold in her gourd?

I was about to find Li Xiangyu, but Liang Yanwu came in, and said to me with a smile: "People are in good spirits on happy occasions! Just by looking at your face, you can tell that you have something good to do. Let me hear it?"

"Why did you come to our department? You usually don't come here?"

"I came to see you specially!" She touched my forehead with the back of her hand, "It's not burning anymore, so I can rest assured! Sister Lu told me, why are you pretending. She even recommended you to go to "" "Fashion Trends" has an interview, don't you think you won't go? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't miss it! Just look at it. At the beginning, I said that Sister Lu had bad intentions and was not worthy of deep friendship. Now the facts have proved it. ——She is a person with a bold personality who can think of others! You can’t find such a person with a lantern, so don’t be suspicious!” She said like a cannonball. large skewers.As long as Lu Zimei is mentioned, she will have endless words, words of praise, eloquent, like a vast poem.

During lunch, I deliberately found Li Xiangyu, had dinner with him, and talked about this matter with him.

He picked up a piece of pickled pepper and threw it into my bowl: "Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, I prefer to go to the mountains of tigers—eat!"

I am from Yangcheng, and I don’t eat spicy food as a vegetarian. Since I met him, I have slowly learned to eat chili.However, I have never eaten this little yellow pickled pepper.I took a bite lightly, and the juice splashed and swam in every corner of my mouth. The hot and sour taste stimulated the taste buds, and a lot of saliva leaked out.Caught off guard, I swallowed the pickled peppers in one gulp, feeling like my throat was going to be on fire!Tears welled up immediately!

"Lu Zimei is definitely not a kind person, but since she has extended an olive branch, you might as well give it a try! Responding to all changes without change, this is the wise way of dealing with the world! Be careful and avoid traps! KFC, I think you It’s too inferior, take this opportunity to resign! A great time wasted, and the money was not earned!” He babbled like an old woman, and there was no trace of "Arctic Ice Wolf".It turned out that he was not cold at all to the people he cared about - I finally found the difference between myself and others!In his mind, I am different from others, and at this moment, I clearly realize this!

I decided to go to "Fashion Trends" for an interview, although I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in Lu Zimei's gourd!

Lu Zimei led me to the manager's office, knocked on the door, and shouted, "Manager Song, Zhang Hong is here for an interview!"

"Please come in!" A deep voice was full of righteousness in the tone!

Pushing the door open, I saw a large desk inside, about two meters long and seventy to eighty centimeters wide.There are many old fashion magazines piled up on the desk, as well as many fashionable accessories.In the middle of the table is an Apple laptop, next to a Mac desktop.In front of the desktop, a middle-aged man in his forties was operating the mouse.His hair is very thin, almost convex in the middle, in the typical "Mediterranean" style.

The man turned the swivel chair, turned around, faced me, sized him up, and said, "Your name is Zhang Hong?"

"Yes!"

"You are only a junior, and you spend most of your time studying. The company takes care of you and won't arrange too much work for you. You can follow Li Hai first, and learn more from him until you graduate from senior year." Yes, I will make you a full-time employee. The internship period is 1800 yuan per month. After you become a full-time employee, it will start at [-] yuan, and then it will fluctuate according to your performance. The working hours are from [-]:[-] pm to [-]:[-] pm from Monday to Friday, and the company manages dinner ;Saturday working hours are from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, lunch is taken care of. Sunday is off!"

"Don't you need to take the test?" I was a little surprised that such a big company didn't need to take the test?This interview is too simple, it's outrageous!I'm so scared, I can't believe it's real!

"You can't even pass the exam, don't waste your energy anymore! It's a good thing to be high-spirited! Young man, spend more time studying! Li Hai, bring the newcomer!"

"Yes, manager!" A 27-year-old man in a suit came in from outside.

He led me to an office room, pointed to the vacant office seat in the innermost room, and said, "From now on, that will be your seat, and I will sit next to you. If you don't know anything, just ask. The computer, the company will open it in the afternoon Prepare it for you, do you know the commonly used design software, such as CorelDraw, Photoshop, Illustrator, etc.?"

"Basically know how to use it, although I'm not very familiar with it!"

Li Hai took me around and met colleagues in various departments.In the editorial department, I saw Lu Zimei.Rather than saying that she is at work, it is better to say that she is a handyman.Colleagues asked her to pour water for a while, make copies for a while, and check for typos for a while, not to mention how aggrieved she was.What's even more unbearable is that when people call her, they don't call her by her name, but directly call her "the one who walked through the back door"!This "back door" seems to have become synonymous with her!

I couldn't help being startled: If she is under such pressure in the company, how can my life be easier?

But then I thought about it again: She is so oppressed in the company, if she really recommended me by the editor-in-chief, can the editor-in-chief appoint me because of her?So, who really recommended me?He didn't even need to take the exam, and he hired me without asking about my situation in detail. It can be seen that this person has a lot of face, so who is that person?

"Are you okay this morning?"

"no!"

"That's good! There is shooting in the morning, you go to the scene with me, and help me watch something!"

I'm very curious about shooting!However, there is a whole group of people who go, including photographers, assistants, makeup artists, lighting engineers, and others.And I, like Lu Zimei, should be just a trickster.

I came back from the scene with a lot of emotion.KFC's work simply cannot compare to this.This job is full of literary and artistic atmosphere, and it is full of fashion and beauty.Rather than saying that I am working, it is better to say that I am creating and enjoying.I love this job, I'm crazy about it.

Li Xiangyu is right, everyone has their own life, everyone has their own position, if you accommodate others or because of reality, you will only become depressed and lose the joy of life.Work is also a part of life, and it will not be boring until it is full of fun!

In the evening, I accompanied Li Xiangyu to the KFC store. This was the last time I worked part-time here, although I couldn't bear Li Xiangyu!

On the bus, I talked to him about my new job, my new colleagues, and the glamorous models on the set.Li Xiangyu looked at me sideways, with joy shining in his eyes.

"You're finally back in your place, I'm so happy for you!"

I told him about Lu Zimei's experience and expressed my deep sympathy, but unexpectedly he rubbed my face lovingly: "Silly boy, you are now a mud bodhisattva crossing the river-you can't protect yourself, so stop being overly sympathetic. Who says that people are born equal? ​​In this society, there are different classes everywhere, and there are distinctions between rich and poor and high and low. You have a bad temper, but you are not allowed to lose your temper. If you have something to do, you must endure it! worry', this is a gift from me when you find a new job, but you must remember it!"

"You want to dismiss me with just one sentence, how petty!" I pretended to be annoyed, "This doesn't count, I want another gift!"

"Then treat you to a KFC family bucket!"

"No! How about kiss or Makelove!" He whispered in my ear.

"Rogue, go to hell!" He pushed me, and I accidentally hit my whole head on the car window, making a crisp "clang" sound, which startled him.He hurriedly pulled me over and rubbed my head, I hurriedly took the opportunity to kiss him, and then sat down on the chair contentedly, closing my eyes and resting my mind.

After paying my salary in the evening, I raised my salary bag and said triumphantly, "Let's go, my brother treats you to supper! How about a barbecue at the food stall?"

"Didn't you say you want to take me on a tour? You don't save money, so why not walk? What a prodigal!" He gave me a disdainful look and refused to leave.

When he came to the mutton stall, he couldn't move his feet and said, "Let's go, I'll treat you to kebabs!"

At this time, the night was getting darker, there were fewer pedestrians, and there were only two customers in the booth.We ordered more than a dozen skewers of mutton, feeding each other wantonly and laughing.The happy laughter pierced the vast night and went straight into the sky.If there are gods in the sky, they should also envy us!

Of course, the money is still paid by me!He doesn't earn much money from part-time jobs, and he has to pay for his daily life. In addition to Gao Yong's "extortion", it is estimated that there is not much left.

"Ah Hong, have you brought your sketchbook? Why don't you draw me a sketch of 'Eating Mutton Skewers'!"

"Bring it! Sit down at the table and make a good pose!" I hurriedly took a few steps back, chose a good angle, moved a table as a desk, and started painting.

After half an hour, the sketch was done!In the painting, Li Xiangyu is holding a few skewers of kebabs with a happy expression on his face. Behind him is a Xinjiang man wearing a white cap who is bowing his head and grilling kebabs...

Just like the "encounter" with him in the KFC restaurant, the scene of this night is deeply imprinted in my mind and will never be forgotten.To this day, I still remember the laughter at that time...
