Chapter 76 Hourly Wage Workers

After Fujiwara Miki left, Miyamoto Kentaro kept his promise and really didn't play games.He sat down cross-legged and began to meditate with his eyes closed.

I don't know how long it took, but his cell phone suddenly rang.It was only after I received such a conditioned reflex that I opened my eyes.

Kentaro Miyamoto stood up and found his mobile phone.He held the phone in his right hand, glanced at the caller ID on the screen, and pressed the green answer button.

Kentaro Miyamoto attached the phone to his right ear and said, "What's going on?"

Kato Ayaka stood on the balcony of her home, feeling the breeze blowing on her face.She also smelled the faint fragrance of cherry blossoms in the air and said, "I just want to know if you got up?"

Kentaro Miyamoto told a white lie: "I have already started working."

Kato Ayaka said casually: "Why is the place where you work so quiet?"

Kentaro Miyamoto said without the slightest panic: "Isn't it officially open for business yet? By noon, it will be very busy."

Kato Ayaka asked: "Where do you work?"

Kentaro Miyamoto told the lie without changing his expression and without a beat in his heart: "Where can I still work? Of course it is in the restaurant. Otherwise, how could I tell you that I won't get busy until noon!"

Kato Ayaka was at a loss for words and asked, "Then what are you doing right now?"

Miyamoto Kentaro told lies one after another: "What else can I do? Of course, I will do whatever the store manager asks me to do. In short, I will do odd jobs."

Kato Ayaka then realized what she was saying: "Will I affect your work?"

Kentaro Miyamoto said calmly: "No."

Kato Ayaka asked curiously: "How much can you earn by working like this for one hour?"

Kentaro Miyamoto relied on his objective understanding of the market conditions and said: "1000 yen."

Kato Ayaka was impressed and said: "So few!"

The corners of Miyamoto Kentaro's mouth turned up, but he did not laugh and said: "The store manager is a very good person. 1000 yen per hour is already very good.

If it were any other store, it would not be easy if you wanted to make 1000 yen.You have to know that the rest time in the middle is not counted as money.

If you are unlucky and encounter a disgusting store manager, he will even eat your blood.You obviously worked for 8 hours, but he only gave you the payment for 7 and a half hours, or even 7 hours. "

Kato Ayaka, who heard such a thing for the first time, asked in surprise: "Don't you want to argue with the other party?"

Kentaro Miyamoto really didn't make it up. He said truthfully: "If you argue with the other party, then you won't come here next time. That's what it's like to be an hourly wage worker."

Kato Ayaka said seriously: "It's really not easy for you."

Kentaro Miyamoto said straightforwardly: "I don't think it's anything. It's not that you don't know, I studied sociology. Only by observing and understanding society personally can you truly apply what you have learned."

Kato Ayaka became more and more interested and said, "Do you think there will be a future as an hourly wage earner?"

Even if Miyamoto Kentaro is lying now, it does not mean that his words are all lies.In the past, he actually worked as a part-time worker during the summer vacation.I am not just experiencing it for a day or two, but actually doing it.Kentaro Miyamoto pondered for a while and said categorically: "There is almost no future. Not to mention the income, after a tiring day, I really don't want to move anymore, I don't even want to turn my head, I just want to have a good rest."

Learning to improve yourself is just empty talk.Only those with strong willpower or high energy can do it.

Therefore, there is such a rule that you should not work more than 4 hours a day part-time.Otherwise, people will have no intention of doing other serious things.

However, having said that, there are quite a few conflicts in practice.If you have less working hours, your income will inevitably decrease.

The income of 4000 yen a day, even if you work part-time for 30 days a month without a day off, is at most 12 yen.

It costs more than this to rent a decent single apartment here in Shinjuku City.Prices in Tokyo, an international metropolis, are really expensive. "

After hearing what he said, Kato Ayaka felt like she was enlightened and said, "I finally understand what you said, it's too expensive to fall in love, so I can't even afford it."

Kentaro Miyamoto said calmly: "I know that there are many people from wealthy families in Waseda University. However, they do not represent everyone.

Even people from ordinary middle-class families may not necessarily have too much money.Even if they can fall in love, they still often have trouble.Not to mention a poor college student like me. "

Kato Ayaka immediately frowned and confessed her truest thoughts: "I feel so guilty for asking you to treat me last night. Otherwise, I'd better give you the money?"

Miyamoto Kentaro pretended to be slightly angry and said: "You clearly look down on me?"

Kato Ayaka panicked and quickly explained: "It's nothing. Don't think about it. I will invite you next time."

Kentaro Miyamoto refused: "No need. I can still treat my friends to a meal and a drink."

Kato Ayaka said truthfully: "I really think it's hard for you to work part-time."

Kentaro Miyamoto couldn't hold it back and laughed out loud, but he was able to justify himself and said: "This is also an experience for me.

Although my life is not a good one, I know through working as an hourly wage earner that there are many people who are worse off than me.In the past, I would complain about this and that from time to time.

Now, I don't complain anymore.Through careful observation of hourly wage workers, I found that they are not stupid, let alone lazy, but they do not have a good opportunity.

Some of them are working hard in their own way.It’s not that they don’t have dreams, they have dreams.However, it is often limited by the immediate survival.

Some people want to be artists, some want to be manicurists and open a small shop of their own, some want to obtain professional certificates, etc. "

Kato Ayaka sighed: "You are worthy of being a sociology student, and your observations are really careful."

Miyamoto Kentaro knew better than anyone in his heart that he could only put himself in his shoes and look at some things objectively.Regarding this, he learned it from Hideki Ishihara.

If it weren't for the other party's encouragement, it would never have been possible for him to take such a step and enter the lives of ordinary people.

The world in which one actually lives and the world in which ordinary people live are two distinct worlds.In this way, it is difficult for two parallel lines to have an intersection.
