Delicacy

"Damn it? Brother, what did you say?" Xu Tao looked at Qin Yuanmu in shock, and Xue Yujie beside him also raised his eyebrows slightly, looking at Qin Yuanmu with some amusement in his eyes.

Qin Yuanmu didn't reply to Xu Tao's message that day, because he really didn't know what to reply.They could only make an appointment for a face-to-face interview after Xu Tao and the others returned home.

Qin Yuanmu didn't dare to look Xue Yujie directly in the eyes, looked at Xu Tao who was full of confusion and said, "Just like I said, my mother found a job for me. After graduation... I'm afraid I won't be able to be with you It's time to paint."

Xu Tao frowned and shook his head, indicating that he couldn't understand: "It's not a brother, how old are you? Your mother will have the final say on what work you will do in the future? Isn't it too nonsense?"

Qin Yuanmu didn't refute him, but just smiled helplessly, who said it's not nonsense?But the fact is like this, it's not that he hasn't told Wu Fenfang what he said, but he insists that he is doing it for his own good, what can he do?Have a fight with mom?

"Bank." Xue Yujie muttered these two words lightly, with a half-smile in his eyes.

For some reason, it may be a betrayal mentality, so Qin Yuanmu always feels ashamed when looking at Xue Yujie.

Xu Tao interjected: "The bank just sounds good. My aunt works in the bank. It's really not a place for people to live there. Brother, listen to my advice, you can't eat that bowl of rice, hurry up and continue painting with us. "

"Big head, sometimes I envy your innocence." Qin Yuanmu leaned on the back of the chair, his words were full of helplessness, "It doesn't matter whether I can eat or not, the important thing is that my mother thinks I can eat."

"Damn, then you listen to everything..." Xu Tao's words got stuck in his throat, and he suddenly remembered Qin Yuanmu's family situation.

Xue Yujie stood up suddenly: "For the sake of mother's happiness, I gave up what I really liked. I was almost moved to tears. Why didn't I realize that you are still a filial son? Forget it, someone who can give up painting so easily, think about it. I can't draw anything."

Xu Tao was afraid that the two would fight, so he quickly hugged Xue Yujie: "Don't say that, you don't know their family's situation..."

Xue Yujie didn't intend to do anything, he pulled Xu Tao and planned to leave: "Why should I know about his family? What should a person do or not have something to do with his own family? Qin Yuanmu, I think you are like this, give up I'm afraid it's more than just painting? You keep working hard and make your mother happy!"

Xu Tao pushed him: "What nonsense are you talking about! Everyone has their own ambitions, and everyone is a brother, so there is no need to say such things, let's go!"

Xue Yujie stared at him: "Xu Tao, who are you targeting? Is your big head full of paste?"

"I'm facing my brother!" Xu Tao continued to push Xue Yujie away, "Brother, don't worry about this kind of thing... hey, we're leaving, since you've decided, work hard."

After calming down, Qin Yuanmu stared at the hot juice in front of him in a daze.He knew that the choice he made might not be right, but could he be too wrong?

But whether it is right or wrong, the path he chose has no choice but to go on.

In fact, the work of the internship is not tiring. Feng Fei probably looked at Wu Fenfang's face and didn't arrange too much work for Qin Yuanmu. Basically, he helped divert customers in the lobby every day and guide them to the machines or machines they should go to. window.There is no workload other than a little more talking, and Qin Yuanmu is not a regular employee, he can leave at five o'clock every day, without waiting for a car or telemarketing.But even so, Qin Yuanmu, who had no work experience, couldn't adapt very well, and his face was almost wrinkled from frowning.

If you want to talk about what Qin Yuanmu's biggest feeling is, it is that the grassroots work in the bank is really not as good as a dog, and he is exhausted every day. Can he be able to shout five times when he enters the door, which is not a dime of what he imagined? relation.

Qin Yuanmu just asks them what kind of business they handle every day, and occasionally wants to yell at those who are in arrears or unreasonable. How do those people who sit at the counter for a whole day persist?Qin Yuanmu felt that they were the real ninja masters.

At this time, Qin Yuanmu hadn't really integrated into the atmosphere, but he was disgusted, and didn't know that this job was more difficult than what he saw.

If you don't work in the grassroots service industry, you don't know how much people can mess around.If it is said that when Qin Yuanmu learned to paint, he came into contact with all the things of Yangchun Baixue, then what he sees every day now is the real microcosm of society.

In just a few months, Qin Yuanmu has seen many inexplicable scenes.There are those who hang themselves in the hall crying, making troubles and three times when the credit card is overdue. One day, they report the loss and reset the password four or five times. Costs, but the next day they come to make trouble and ask for gifts, all kinds of people are putting on a good show every day.It seems that no matter who it is, as long as they step into the gate of the bank, they can suddenly become a real god, and they can make three points without reason.

One time, due to some shit luck, there was a vacuum period among the customers in the lobby. Taking advantage of no one coming to the counter, Qin Yuanmu asked the female teller, "Sister, do you serve this group of mentally retarded people every day?" , don't you feel sick?"

Qin Yuanmu's words are not pleasant, but they are also true to a certain extent.These days, there are still people who go to the bank for nothing, except for the real big customers, there are only people who don't know why.And the inexplicable people are obviously bigger than the group of big customers, so there are strange things almost every day.

The female teller is Tang Lili, a gentle and introverted girl. After hearing what Qin Yuanmu said, she just smiled wearily: "Just get used to it. If you do a lot in this line of work, you can meet all kinds of people. The ones you see every day It's all a joke."

After a pause, Tang Lili continued, "Actually, Xiaoqin, it's really getting harder and harder to run a bank now. If you have some time, you might as well take the civil servant exam."

Qin Yuanmu was even less interested in civil servants, and didn't take up the topic: "In fact, sitting in the cabinet is pretty good, anyway, it's just such a long time every day, so don't worry about other trivial matters."

Tang Lili looked at Qin Yuanmu with complicated eyes: "Little friend, you are too naive. Who told you that the tellers will be fine after work? Who do you think is responsible for so many marketing indicators and meeting training? And just sitting in the cabinet is not As simple as that, it’s fine if the customers and family members don’t understand you, but the key is that the tellers don’t understand in the bank either. No matter how the customers make things difficult for us, we have to greet them with a smile on our faces, and we must not miss actions and polite language.”

Qin Yuanmu frowned: "Isn't that too disrespectful?"

Tang Lili sighed: "When you get married and have children and a garage to support, you won't care about dignity anymore. Sigh, it's hard to do..."

Qin Yuanmu nodded with a vague understanding, and comforted her: "It's okay, sister, anyway, high pay and high return. I heard that the average annual salary of our industry is more than 20 yuan. If you are tired, you will be tired."

Tang Lili let out a chuckle: "Do you know what the word average means? I can't even imagine how much money those leaders can earn a year, and they can still reach the average level when so many grassroots employees are holding back. 20. Forget it, forget it, you will understand these miscellaneous things when you officially join the company... let’s not talk about it, someone is here, you should hurry up and ask him what kind of business he does. If you deposit and withdraw a small amount, you will definitely help my sister guide it Go to the self-service machine, my sister took a small amount at the counter for a customer yesterday, and was criticized by the channel department through emails."

Qin Yuanmu nodded, turned around and left the counter, thinking to himself: "It is the channel department that does not allow small deposits and withdrawals at the counter, and it is the channel department that does not allow customers to shirk business. Isn't this an idiot?"

He didn't know at this time that there were still many similar novelties in the bank.

The bank will only close for a few days during the Chinese New Year. Qin Yuanmu feels that the work is not too busy but makes him out of breath, and finally he can rest for a few days.It was around Chinese New Year, Wu Fenfang took his ID card and helped him sign up on the online banking recruitment website.

In Wu Fenfang's eyes, it seemed that everything was going in a good direction.

Anyway, no matter what people do, time is moving forward.Qin Yuanmu took a week off one after another, took part in the bank's written test and interview, and then patiently waited for the internship to end.In fact, I am used to doing a boring job, so I am not so tired, but my heart is getting more and more depressed, and I can't lift my spirits for anything.In the past, Qin Yuanmu was eager to fight when he encountered troublesome people, but now he is not curious no matter how strange people he faces, and he just tells them with a straight face who to go to for any business.

If it wasn't for the protection of the intern's brand on his chest, he would have been complained to death.

In the past, Wu Fenfang would not go to burn paper for Qin Dayong every Qingming and anniversary, as if she had been escaping from this reality, but this year during Qingming, Wu Fenfang went to the funeral home with Qin Yuanmu and a few relatives of her family.

"Dayong, our son is more promising now. Not only has he been admitted to university, but he has also passed the bank exam, and he will have a decent job in the future... You don't have to worry about your son over there. I have never dared to come to see him. You are afraid that you didn't help you raise your son, and now you are finally healed... I will come to see you when my son gets married and tell you the good news..."

Wu Fenfang squatted under the portrait, muttering to herself while burning paper money. Although her eye circles were red and swollen, she looked really happy.Qin Dayong on the portrait is also smiling, as if he heard his wife's words.

Qin Yuanmu said nothing with a cold face, and went to the grave with a smile, how happy is his mother?But absurd, funny, it seems that these are everyone's life.Those days with Lian Xiao day and night, those days of drawing and painting day and night, looking back now, it seems that the falseness never existed.

Xu Tao never contacted him again, Qin Yuanmu thought it was good, after all, he was no longer the same person.It's just that Xu Tao took the road they built together, but which one did he take?Qin Yuanmu didn't know.

After Qingming passed, it was full of spring, and the sun was dazzling day by day.It seems to be exactly what Xu Tao said at the beginning, the older I get, the more I feel that time flies.Qin Yuanmu's internship came to an end, and Feng Fei happily stamped Qin Yuanmu's internship manual.Under Wu Fenfang's gesture, Qin Yuanmu treated his colleagues to a meal, and after returning home to recuperate for a few days, it was time to return to school to receive a diploma.

The last time he set foot on the journey to the provincial capital when he was a student, Qin Yuanmu didn't have any special feelings in his heart. There are not so many things in this world that are hard to let go.

Unsurprisingly, I saw Xu Tao who hadn't seen him for a long time in the dormitory. Qin Yuanmu didn't know how to react, but Xu Tao was like a normal person, and he still had fun with him every day.But the more Xu Tao was like this, the more uncomfortable Qin Yuanmu felt, and he accelerated the progress of the last painting, wanting to get his graduation certificate as soon as possible and leave here as soon as possible.

Qin Yuanmu is very dissatisfied with what he draws because he hasn't started painting for a few months.But it doesn't matter anymore. At the beginning, I was painting for the exam, but now I am for graduation. It's enough, why bother to blame?

He is not as competitive for fame and fortune as he was in college.

Maybe outsiders can't see it, but his counselor can see that Qin Yuanmu's graduation work is far from his real level.But after seeing Qin Yuanmu's state, the counselor couldn't say anything. After chatting with Qin Yuanmu for a while, he handed over the graduation certificate and degree certificate to Qin Yuanmu.

After receiving the two thin booklets, Qin Yuanmu didn't feel too heavy. Is this what he has been asking for all along?

After bowing deeply to the counselor, Qin Yuanmu walked out of the office without hesitation.Just when he was about to go out, the counselor who had hesitated for a long time still called out to him.

"Does your work have a name?"

The counselor looked at the young man in the portrait. This is not Qin Yuanmu's self-portrait, nor is it copied by some famous artist. So what does Qin Yuanmu's painting mean?

Qin Yuanmu smiled bitterly: "Then it's called... "Painted Delicacy"."

The counselor was naturally confused about this inexplicable name, but he thought in his heart that it would be embarrassing to draw such a thing at Qin Yuanmu's level, so he sighed and didn't speak again.Qin Yuanmu walked out without stopping.

Looking up at the sky, the glare of the sun made Qin Yuanmu's nose itch, which reminded him of the high temperature on the roof that day when the second year of high school started.A few years passed by, and he was no longer the original him. He couldn't tell what he had gained or lost, but the empty sense of loss in his heart was not an illusion of moaning without illness.

"In the end, I still didn't live the way I wanted..."

Qin Yuanmu murmured softly to himself, and looked at the graduation certificate in his hand. Under the sunlight, it would soon become a little hot.Graduated, but unfortunately again, no one would smile and say to him in the sun, congratulations on graduating.

Xu Tao and the two internet-addicted teenagers went somewhere, and the dormitory was empty.This was exactly what Qin Yuanmu wanted, and quickly packed up the few remaining luggage. Qin Yuanmu gently threw the bedroom key into the trash can, and left without looking back.

The train roared, bringing Qin Yuanmu, who was no longer what he used to be, back to his unchanging hometown.

When taking the bank written test, Qin Yuanmu was faced with a screen full of logic questions, and it can be said that he understood nine out of ten.But after resting at home for a month, he suddenly received a job offer from the bank, which shows that Wu Fenfang really paid a lot of money.

Now, he has no choice but to refuse because of love, reason and money.

The simple training before joining the job is nothing more than nothing. It is nothing more than the leader saying some high-sounding words, bragging about the lofty status of the bank in the society, how much profit it can make every year, and how it is possible to work here. Category.Qin Yuanmu listened attentively, and the leader was quite evasive, and didn't mention the level of fatigue and salary at work.

Compared with the newcomers admitted in the same class, Qin Yuanmu has a little more internship experience, so the expression on his face is not as yearning as they are, but an expression that seems to have become a winner in life.

Next, the department introductions of the heads of various departments are even more nonsense. Most of them are intercepted from a report that brags about their performance to the leaders. It sounds like each department is responsible for 80.00% of the importance.Qin Yuanmu really wanted to ask, are you so stunned by the mathematics of banks?

It is worth mentioning that the heads of various departments do not include the heads of banking outlets.It seems that as long as you are at the grassroots level, it is the same. Whether you are a soldier or a general, you will only be suppressed at the grassroots level. The old saying that you would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail does not apply here.

The so-called training lasted for two weeks, until more than a dozen departments, large and small, boasted in front of the newcomers, and the personnel from the personnel department notified each branch that there was a need for personnel to come and pick them up.

Qin Yuanmu wanted to laugh even more, co-authoring them or bragging for free?I thought I could work in their department, but they left after blowing it up.

After the people in the store showed their limelight, the heads of various outlets trotted all the way to the store in disgrace, picking and choosing like a retired old lady picking vegetables.Some outlets have an advantage in geographical location and are attached to high-end residential areas. There are many high-end customers, so the performance is good; some outlets are located in remote locations, but they are happy to be at ease; , are all outlets that are too busy to make money.

What's more unfortunate is that President Feng is leading the kind of branch that is thankless, and what's even more unfortunate is that Qin Yuanmu was taken away by him as a matter of course.

Although he has officially joined the job, there is no difference between Qin Yuanmu's work in the previous month and his internship, because the efficiency in the industry is too low.The tooling was not issued, the work card was not made, and the fingerprints were not recorded. Qin Yuanmu just went to the cabinet like this. It would be a ghost if customers dared to deposit money with him.

The tellers looked eagerly at the arrival of the newcomer, but they couldn't come to the counter to help share the workload, and they scolded the internal affairs department one by one.Feng Fei also stroked his increasingly thinning hair and sighed: "What is internal friction? This is internal friction! Supervise the efficiency of outlets every day, ordering clothes by yourself is harder than having a child!"

Qin Yuanmu didn't know how happy he was not being in the closet, so he continued to complain.Qin Yuanmu finally officially took over the work of the bank counter after the bank moaned and whimpered to inform them that the new entrants had finished taking their fingerprints.

At the same time, the hotel where Lian Xiao worked.

Looking at Lian Xiao, who was signing the termination contract, the hotel owner felt a pain in his heart.Lian Xiao can be regarded as the signboard of their shop, many people come here because of his craftsmanship, and Lian Xiao has never negotiated terms with him arrogantly because of this, but now Lian Xiao insists on leaving.

Looking at Lian Xiao's ugly signature, the boss smiled wryly for a moment: "Forget it, since you want to get a special chef certificate, I can't stop you from making progress. Thank you for your sweat for our store, and best wishes You passed the exam, if you don't mind, you can come back to work again anytime in the future."

Lian Xiao looked uninspired, nodded and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Thank you boss, in fact our store is very good, I just... want to improve, so I can only go to research, I wish you a prosperous business."

Lian Xiao was very popular in the store, and when he left, almost all the chefs and waiters crowded at the door to say goodbye to him.After Lian Xiao bid farewell to them one by one, he resolutely picked up his bags and walked into the distance.

Seeing his getting smaller and smaller, a kitchen helper couldn't help feeling: "I won't be able to eat such delicious dishes in the future... Ever since I was burned last time, Lian Xiao's personality has become boring, is it because of feelings? Frustrated?"

The boss glared at him: "You don't think about how to learn crafts every day, why are you always thinking about other people's relationship problems? Hurry up and practice in the back kitchen. You know what Lian Xiao taught you?"

The cook muttered a few words in a low voice, and after looking reluctantly at Lian Xiao's disappearing figure, he trotted into the kitchen.
