Confessions of a Salesman

Chapter 1033 The interview was successful
The company over there finally called me and asked me to go for a second interview. Of course I can't, as I said, if you want me, I won't go!

He Hao knows, I can have a second interview, and I have been told again and again, don’t be impulsive, bow your head first if you can, and let’s talk about it after entering the company. The company must pay wages for at least a 6-month probationary period. Earning a little is a must. A little, there will always be some income!
When it came to the second interview, there were really a lot fewer people. According to preliminary calculations, there were only about 10 or so people.

I saw the young man sitting next to me again, still wearing the suit that didn't fit his figure, probably under the guidance of others, he changed into a dark tie, which looked much more pleasing to the eye, and the one from last time The little girl he was chatting with was also among them. The two of them seemed much closer than last time. It is estimated that after the last interview, the two of them established a very deep friendship. I really don’t know if it is friendship or not!

The interview started. Some people went in and some came out one after another. Some were happy and some were sad. The young man went in ahead of me. The little girl kept encouraging him, saying that he would definitely do it, but I wondered if it was true?After all, one more person shortlisted means one less opportunity. If you choose between work and a young man, the little girl at this time will still choose work without hesitation.

After a while, the young guy walked out happily, almost hugged the little girl and said: "I have been selected, and I am now a member of Weihua Group! I will come to work tomorrow!"
I could see that the little girl was not as happy as the joy on her face, but she still said: "Congratulations, I'm so happy for you!"

This time it was the young man's turn to encourage the little girl: "Come on, I know you can do it too! After a while, go in and say..."

Then I talked in the little girl's ear for a long time. The voice was softer than a mosquito, and I was afraid that someone else would hear it. Someone really planned to listen to it. What is the secret that made this unattractive guy enter the Weihua Group and become a... one of them.

Infected by the young man, the little girl plucked up her courage and strode in.

After 10 minutes, he came out dejectedly, and the boy asked with concern: "How is it?"

I thought it was all written on my face, so what else is there to ask?

As expected, the boy was making fun of himself, and was glared at by the little girl, but the girl ignored him, walked out of the gate by himself, and the boy chased after him.

It took a long time for my name to be called before I realized it and walked in openly.

Still in the previous lineup, the woman in the middle asked straightforwardly: "Last time you said that you have a relationship with Director Qiao of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development. Is it true? We must be sure about this? If we know you are lying Ours, we will fire you immediately!"

I curled my lips and said, "What you said is really contradictory! If I have that relationship, would I care if you fire me or not? Even if I have this relationship, it doesn't mean anything. It can be done! Director Qiao is not my own father, even if he is my own father, he wouldn’t know what I said! Shouldn’t this relationship be dealt with slowly? Let me tell you now, I have this relationship, but It depends on what it is, but at least I can help the company contact him, I can guarantee this, other things, I can't guarantee anything!"

The delicate woman didn't speak, and the fat woman said with a smile: "Fei Chen, right? Don't be so excited, we just want to confirm that in the next work, you must be used as a bridge, and we will try to help the company get in touch with you." Over there, Director Qiao! If you can do this, you have already completed the work!"

I said, "It's not difficult! I haven't asked about my salary yet?"

The delicate woman looked at me and asked, "Didn't you fill it out before? Without any special circumstances, just follow the normal work regulations! What do you mean? How much is it?"

I thought for a while and said: "I want a basic salary of 1, and if any deal is negotiated, I want 50% of the profit!"

The delicate woman said disdainfully: "You just joined the company, and you plan to get the same salary as me, don't you think it's whimsical?"

I also disdainfully said: "That only shows that your salary is too low, not that I raised it too high! Since everyone has value to use, let's work hard together! I can receive such a high salary, so naturally I will make money." The method will bring more benefits to the company!"

The delicate woman looked at the others, and after confirming her gaze, she said, "You've been hired! Can you start working tomorrow?"

If I said truthfully, "Yes!"

I noticed that the exquisite woman's eyes had been looking at the gold-rimmed glasses just now, which meant that it wasn't her who was really talking, but the man with the gold-rimmed glasses.

Walking out of the gate of the office building, I saw that the man and woman who were interviewing were still entangled, and thought it was quite funny. Could this be a dewy marriage, or just another business deal.

I didn't go home directly. I went to the supermarket and bought a bunch of vegetables. I thought about going home and cooking to celebrate, and at the same time share this good news with He Hao.

After dialing He Hao's phone, she picked it up and hung up directly. I knew she might be busy, so I didn't make the call.

When I got home, I started humming a ditty and got busy. To be honest, the joy was no less than the moment when I was announced to be the chairman of Wanzhong. I felt that I had returned to the hardworking state of my youth.

Around seven o'clock, my meals were all ready, like a little daughter-in-law looking forward to her husband coming home for dinner, a sumptuous dinner, and then waiting for her.

At eight o'clock, the door opened, and I just wanted to go up to meet her and tell her the good news today.

He Hao entered the door first, and a man with a big back came in behind him. He still didn't take off his shoes, but He Hao turned a blind eye and beckoned him to sit on the sofa with a shy face on his face.

The big-backed head saw me in the apron, didn't even nod, didn't ask anything, just stepped on the snow-white carpet and sat on the sofa.

I frowned, looked at He Hao, and when He Hao met my eyes, he blinked at me, and then asked loudly: "Has the room been cleaned?"

I froze for a moment and didn't speak.

He Hao winked at me again and asked me to go to the kitchen with her.

After entering the kitchen, he whispered, "He is my boss, he must come to my house today to have a look, please be wronged first, and be my babysitter!"

I took off my apron, walked out of the kitchen, took out my mobile phone and wallet from the room, pointed to the dining table and said, "The food is ready, you can heat it up and eat it! When it's done, send me a message, I'm coming back to sleep, if you don't let me come back tonight, please notify me in advance, so I can find a hotel in advance!"

He Hao stood awkwardly at the door of the kitchen, not knowing what to say?
The man with the big back had a calm expression on his face, stood up, took out [-] yuan from his wallet, then thought about it, took back another one, handed it to me and said, "Then trouble!" is you!"

I took the two hundred yuan without hesitation, and said politely: "Thank you then!"

After speaking, he put on his shoes and walked out the door.

When I went downstairs and wandered the streets for a while, I felt an indescribable feeling in my heart, as if I was cheated or insulted, but when I thought about it carefully, it was nothing!We were originally in a co-rental relationship, and I have a wife again. Just now I was happy for a while, and wanted to find someone to share my inner joy. At the same time, maybe the role substitution is too deep, right?In fact, it’s nothing, my job is also temporary, this is not my real identity, am I over-involved, what is the real purpose of my coming here?I have to figure it out, I can't let you get stuck and become confused!

Thinking of this, I immediately felt refreshed. Seeing a bar next to me, I remembered that I haven’t been to a bar for a long time. Why don’t I go in and have a drink or two? Then find a hotel to stay for one night, and start a new day tomorrow. Living in a house, renting with others is not an option at all, and it is not suitable!
The bar is not big, but it is decorated with a special atmosphere. The lighting is not too dim, the lights are milky yellow, and the neon balls are turning around, but they don’t dazzle. A foreign singer is singing this unknown song. country folk.

I was sitting at the bar, and the waiter signed and asked me what I want to drink?
I looked at the drink label, ordered a glass of Blue Enchantress, and then turned my head to enjoy the song.

I have to admit that the songs sung in their native language are more flavorful than those sung by Chinese who are proficient in English. I think this foreigner is probably a singer in their hometown, unlike some bars, who compare themselves in order to show themselves. Foreign style, just find a foreigner, no matter whether you can sing or not, please come over, even if you sing a birthday song, you can be regarded as a foreign singer.

This foreigner does have some skills, let's sing one song, and then another, from time to time, he looks at the song list handed over by the waiter, and then throws it out casually.

I beckoned the waiter to come over and asked, "Can I order songs?"

The waiter nodded and said: "Yes, but it's useless if you order it, he basically can't sing, it's not that he can't sing, it's that he can't sing! This foreigner is very strange, and he is not considered to be invited by us. He just likes to sing, as long as he is given a drink every day, he is fine, and he never asks for a salary! However, he rarely sings when the guests order songs, and occasionally he will sing when he likes it!"

I hummed, asked for a playlist, and wrote a classic old song: "Hotel California" (Hotel California), handed it to the waiter, and then said: "Give him a glass of whiskey with ice, please! "

The waiter took the playlist and the money, and walked over briskly.

The foreigner took the wine, took a big sip happily, looked at the playlist, then raised his glass to me in the direction of the waiter's finger, and I also expressed it.

As soon as the vicissitudes of life singing came over, I got goosebumps all over the place. It was really good. After drinking a glass of wine, my head was dizzy. I knew that the cocktail was on top, so I ordered another glass of beer, thinking about clearing it up.

After the foreigner sang the song, another young female singer came up to sing. This female singer seemed to be more popular, and there was one song list after another, all of which were popular songs nowadays.

The foreigner walked up to me and asked me kindly, "Can I buy you a drink?"

I thought I heard it wrong?Thinking that he wanted me to buy him another drink, he waved to the waiter and asked the foreigner to order by himself, and it would be charged to my account.

The foreigner hurriedly shook his head and asked me again, what would I like to drink?
I looked at the foreigner strangely, and thought: Damn, it’s not like he’s attracted to me, right?I'm not interested in him at all.

The foreigner was still looking at me, as if waiting for my answer, so I casually said beer.

The foreigner nodded happily, then sat next to me, and asked me: "Is this the first time you come to this bar?" He didn't forget to ask again in blunt Chinese.

I replied in English: "Yes, for the first time, your singing voice is very beautiful!"

The foreigner smiled and stretched out his hand: "Alber!"

I shook hands with him lightly, and asked, "I thought you all just high-five, and you don't like Chinese greetings!"

Albert smiled and said: "I'm not black! I don't mean to be racist! It's just that most of us white people also have this kind of etiquette!" Then, he explained: "I invite you to drink because I know that you Listening to my singing seriously, it’s already difficult here, I think you may be my first listener!”

I said puzzledly: "No way? Your singing voice is very beautiful. There should be many people who are willing to listen to your singing!"

Albert shook his head and said "no!" several times in a row

Then he took a sip of the wine and said, "They only like to listen to new songs and fast-paced songs. I sing old songs, and I only like to sing old songs!"

I sighed and said: "Actually, old songs are more enjoyable to listen to. Classics are classics, and no one can surpass them! This can only mean that the Chinese people's appreciation level is not good, it's not your singing! Don't worry too much, singing in bars That’s how it is, how lively it is!”

Albert smiled and said, "It makes sense! Shall we have a drink?"

I raised my glass and said, "I'm almost done, I'll come to hear you sing again when I have a chance!"

The foreigner seemed a little disappointed, but he didn't force himself to ask, "Your name?"

I thought for a while and replied: "Call me FLY? It might sound weird, so just take it as a nickname, another name!"

The foreigner repeated FLY, and then asked, "There is Fei in your Chinese name, right?"

I shrugged, neither denied nor admitted.

When I walked out of the bar, my phone still hadn't rang. I was sure that I would not be able to go back tonight, and I came to that hotel again when I first came to Shanghai.

And the lady at the front desk, she also recognized me, looked behind me from time to time, I curled my lips and said: "Don't look, there is no one, don't worry, I live alone!"

The front desk lady gloated and said, "Did you get dumped!?"
