The Pentium Era - South to North

Zhang Chen walked to the inner room and saw a dignified woman in her thirties sitting inside. When Zhang Chen saw her, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He felt that her person and her voice were a perfect match. , really lives up to his words.

"Hello, Manager Qu!" Zhang Chen nodded towards her.

Manager Qu smiled at Zhang Chen and motioned for him to sit across from her. Just as she was about to say something, she coughed, quickly waved her hand and said, "Sorry, I'll take a drink of water first."

She picked up the glass on the table and took a sip of water. After putting down the glass, she habitually slapped her hand twice in front of her face, as if to swat something away. She smiled and said to herself, what she said every day Too many words.

She raised her head and asked Zhang Chen, what can I do for you?

Zhang Chen told her straightforwardly that he was looking for a job. When he saw your company's brand below, he came up to ask if you were hiring designers.

"Oh, that's right. Let me tell you, our factory in Shenzhen can recruit designers. I don't need them here. I'm just a business office here, specializing in printing business."

Although the place was not hiring, Manager Qu did not show any sign of being disturbed. When she saw Zhang Chen carrying a portfolio, she asked, "Did you bring your own works?"

Zhang Chen nodded.

"Can you let me admire it?"

Zhang Chen quickly agreed. He opened the folder, took out the works inside, and handed them to Manager Qu. Manager Qu looked at them one by one and asked, "Did you design these?"

Zhang Chen said yes.

After reading it, Manager Qu sighed and said, "That's great. These are not in Hangzhou, right?"

"Yes, it's in Haicheng. I just came back from Haicheng." Zhang Chen said.

"Hainan Island! No wonder, if I were in Hangzhou, I would know about it." Manager Qu took out the painting in the lobby of Wanghai International Hotel and asked Zhang Chen: "Where is this in Haicheng?"

"Wanghai Tower."

"Oh, that hotel I stayed in was on Hai... Haixiu Road, right? Now it's like this?" Manager Qu looked at Zhang Chen with questioning eyes.

Zhang Chen said yes, the renovation had just been completed.

"You designed it? That's great! Then I will definitely stay there again next time." Manager Qu said with a smile.

She asked Zhang Chen: "It seems that you are doing well in Haicheng, why do you want to come back?"

Zhang Chen hesitated for a while and told her, I am from Yongcheng. I don’t know if Manager Qu knows Yongcheng. I encountered some personal matters in Haicheng and had to come back.

"You know, you know, the "Pearl on the Golden Tourism Line" in your county was printed by us."

Manager Qu nodded, indicating that she knew Yongcheng. As for what personal matters Zhang Chen mentioned, she did not ask any further. She returned the paintings to Zhang Chen, breathed a sigh of relief, and said:

"It's a pity that there don't seem to be many opportunities for talents like you in Hangzhou. Compared with Shenzhen Haicheng, Hangzhou is still far behind. Although I am a native of Hangzhou, I have to admit it."

Zhang Chen nodded and said yes. When I first left the city station and the train station, I felt uncomfortable.

"That's right, I stayed in Shenzhen for six years. When I came back for the first time last year, as soon as I got out of Jianqiao Airport, I almost cried. Why is Hangzhou so shabby!"

Manager Qu said, and both of them laughed.

"By the way, is it possible for you to go to Shenzhen to develop? If you go to Shenzhen, I can help introduce you, not only to our factory, but also to many of my friends. You also know that people who work in our industry, The ones we deal with the most are advertising companies, and they need talents like you." Manager Qu said.

"I want to try again in Hangzhou, but if it doesn't work, I will go to Shenzhen." Zhang Chen told Manager Qu honestly.

Manager Qu took out his business card from the drawer, handed it to Zhang Chen, and said to him: "Okay, we have agreed. If you are going to Shenzhen, contact me and I will call them for you. .”

Zhang Chen quickly said thank you!

He took Manager Qu's business card with both hands and saw Manager Qu's name printed on the business card, which was Qu Tianlin.

Manager Qu asked Zhang Chen: "Do you have a business card?"

Zhang Chen blushed and said to her, "What I have is Haicheng's old business card."

"It's okay." Manager Qu took out his address book from the drawer, spread it out, and said to Zhang Chen, "Write it here."

Zhang Chen took the pen she handed him, wrote his name in the address book, and left the phone number of the Hongqi Hotel. Zhang Chen told Manager Qu that there is no phone where I live, and this is the phone number of my girlfriend’s work. .

"Then write your girlfriend's name on the back."

Zhang Chen wrote Xiao Zhao's name on the back of the phone. He returned the pen to Manager Qu. Manager Qu said, "Let me make a note." She wrote a pair of brackets under Zhang Chen's name and filled in the brackets " Designer" three words.

Zhang Chen stood up to say goodbye. Manager Qu also stood up and stretched out his hand to shake Zhang Chen's hand. Her hand was soft.

…

It was already five o'clock. Zhang Chen was riding his bicycle and walking towards the Red Flag Hotel. The cold wind was like a knife on his face. His face hurt, as if a layer of skin was about to be peeled off.

I don't know if it was the wind or something else, but Zhang Chen felt a little moist at the corners of his eyes.

He thought about Qu Tianlin who had just said goodbye, and felt a little moved in his heart. Although she did not provide him with a job, she provided an attitude and temperature that made people feel warm in this cold evening.

She also provided herself with a way out. If she really couldn't survive in Hangzhou, and couldn't go back to Haicheng and Yongcheng, she could at least take Xiao Zhao to Shenzhen.

Although Qu Tianlin spoke softly, Zhang Chen believed her words. If she said she could help him, she would definitely do so. Zhang Chen had no doubt at all, even though they only met by chance, just like Sister Osmanthus, including the Japanese Harada. Shino, they are all good people.

Zhang Chen feels that no matter how many bad people you meet in this world, you will always meet many good people, which will make you still have confidence in the world.

Many times, being a good person is very simple, that is, when someone reaches out to you for help, although you cannot meet their request, you can not refuse rudely.

Zhang Chen arrived at the Hongqi Hotel. Xiao Zhao saw him coming in from the open window and shouted: "Hurry up, I have heated up the food. Come over and eat."

Zhang Chen walked to the brazier and sat down, rubbed his face with both hands, and then picked up a lunch box. After Xiao Zhao handed him the chopsticks, he quickly retracted his hand. Zhang Chen's eyes were sharp and he shouted:

"Give me your hand."

Xiao Zhao chuckled and hid his hands behind his back. Zhang Chen put down the lunch box in his hand and stretched out his hand. Xiao Zhao had no choice but to take one of his hands out from behind and put it on Zhang Chen's in hand.

"There is one more." Zhang Chen said.

Xiao Zhao pouted and obediently put his other hand into Zhang Chen's hand.

Zhang Chen asked: "What happened? Did you fall while learning to drive at noon?"

Zhang Chen saw that the knuckles of Xiao Zhao's hands were red and swollen.

Xiao Zhao shook her head, she said no, no, it was nothing.

Zhang Chen suddenly understood and felt sour in his heart. He knew that Xiao Zhao was going to get frostbite. It was so cold in Hangzhou. When Xiao Zhao was washing vegetables and cooking at home, he had to soak his hands in cold water. At work, he was washing and doing things. In order to maintain hygiene, the hands had to be soaked in the biting cold water. In just a few days, the hands were frozen and on the verge of getting frostbite.

"It's okay. Except for the winter in Haicheng, I didn't get chilblains. When I was at home, I got chilblains every year. What's so great about chilblains? After the winter, it will heal on its own." Xiao Zhao said lightly.

Zhang Chen looked at Xiao Zhao and said, either, let's go to Shenzhen, Shenzhen is also warm.

"What's going on?" Xiao Zhao opened his eyes wide.

"Really, I met a sister today and she said she could help me introduce jobs in Shenzhen." Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao said.

Xiao Zhao shook her head and said, "It's better not to leave. Our home has just been completed. I like our home, so don't move. Besides, you don't want to take me back to Yongcheng to meet your parents?" I went to Shenzhen, and now I don’t know when I will come back. I don’t want to go. I like our home and the work here.

Zhang Chen was silent, sighed, and thought, yes, no matter what, they have finally stabilized in Hangzhou. Everything is unknown when they go to Shenzhen. Shenzhen can be used as a fallback, but not for now. only way.

Besides, even if I want to go now, I don't have the ability. Their money is still on the way, and they have to wait until it reaches Yongcheng and then go back to Yongcheng before I can get it.

"Okay, dear, I'm not that squeamish. If I get frostbite in Hangzhou, I have to go to Shenzhen. But if something happens in Shenzhen, will I have to go to the United States again?" Xiao Zhao held Zhang Chen's hand and smiled. road.

"Don't think about it anymore, okay?" Xiao Zhao held Zhang Chen's hands with both hands, looked at Zhang Chen with his eyes getting closer and closer, and asked repeatedly: "Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay..."

Zhang Chen smiled and said, "Okay."

Xiao Zhao also laughed.

Zhang Chen touched Xiao Zhao's red and swollen knuckles and asked, "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt, it's a little itchy."

Zhang Chen stood up and walked outside. Xiao Zhao was confused by him and shouted, "Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

Zhang Chen said without looking back, I'll come as soon as I go.

"It's time to eat."

"Come back soon and come back to eat."

Zhang Chen opened the bicycle parked in the gate, pushed it and walked out.
