I looked at the computer screen and then at the demon. He also noticed that I was looking at him. He quickly turned his head and sneered at me.
The meaning in that look seemed to be saying to me: Let me see how many days you can hold on!
In fact, he has nothing to do with me now, because although I am poor, my Taoism is not chaotic, and it is difficult for demons to get close to me.
So I raised my middle finger at him, looked down upon him, then turned around and left.
The demon looked at my back and did not follow me. He turned his head and continued watching the love action movie...
When I returned to the small hotel, I felt scared for a while. If I had taken someone else's cell phone just by chance, the devil would definitely take advantage of it.
Fortunately, I was still awake at the critical moment, otherwise it would have been unthinkable.
I should be in the period of wealth and decline now. If I am not careful, the devil will come. When the devil arrives, the life and death barrier will follow.
Be sure to hold on!
I waited for three days with this thought in my mind, but all the job search messages I sent out came to nothing with no response.
And during this period, I also have to deal with the mess in the shopping mall.
Because although there is a problem in the company, I am still the person in charge here. I can't just throw away my hands and ignore everything. After all, you still need to have a sense of responsibility.
Besides, the company has never owed wages before, but this is a special period and a crisis.
In fact, everyone in the shopping mall knows about my current embarrassing state, but no one sympathizes with this kind of thing. Everyone is secretly watching the fun and laughing.
Only one person was willing to reach out and help me.
She was the girl who shined shoes in the shopping mall. She knew that I hadn't been paid for a long time and saw that I looked bad, so she took the initiative to give me five hundred yuan.
Of course I couldn't accept it, so she told me that she would go back to her hometown next month. In the past two years in Nanjing, she hadn't saved any money or made a good friend.
Everyone thought she was a shoe polisher and looked down upon her, but I never discriminated against her.
So, she wanted to help me.
No matter what she says, I will not confiscate the money. I just wish her all the best when she returns home and hope that she can truly live for herself in the future.
Although someone had taken care of her before, in fact, the man only paid her monthly rent and a little pocket money, so she still had to work on her own to make money, and then send it home to help her brother raise the child.
Her life is already very difficult. We are both in this world, so why should I take advantage of her?
As a result, on the way back, I didn’t know what happened, but I lost the few dozen yuan I had left in my pocket on the bus.
What a pity, I didn't even eat lunch, I was just waiting for this meal in the evening, and now I don't have a penny!
Possessed by bad luck, possessed by bad luck...
It was almost dusk at that time, and I was walking alone on the streets of Nanjing, my legs feeling like they were filled with lead.
Looking at the surrounding residential buildings, every house had lights on. At this time, people should be preparing dinner.
But where is my supper?
Where should I go tomorrow?
I stood blankly on the side of the road for a long time, and then touched the mobile phone in my pocket.
There was a momentary impulse to find a place to sell the phone.
Even if you exchange it for 200 yuan, you can eat for a few days.
I quickly gave up this idea. If I even sold my mobile phone, I would really lose contact.
But in fact, my mobile phone bill only has a few dollars left.
I didn't tell anyone about my situation in Nanjing. Every time Zhang Wenwen called, I told her that I was living a good life here.
I have to continue this lie.
There is a small shop selling steamed buns on the roadside. The big snow-white steamed buns are freshly baked, and the aroma of noodles penetrates directly into the nose.
I was already hungry, but now I'm even hungrier.
At this moment, I feel like I have gone back to that night wandering the streets of Harbin a few years ago.
But I still had five yuan in my pocket that day, but now, I don’t even have the money to buy a steamed bun...
It is said that a penny can defeat a hero, and it is absolutely true.
If a person is in bad luck, bad things will happen one after another.
No matter how capable I am, in this situation, it is impossible for me to drop money from the sky.
Just when I thought of this, I suddenly stopped.
Just two meters in front of me, there was five dollars thrown there.
Looking around, there was no one there.
Who dropped this?
I was stunned for 0.01 seconds, then quickly walked over and picked up the five dollars.
Then I looked up at the sky.
Did you really lose money to me?
But this is definitely not God's doing. He sealed my palace, so he couldn't be so kind to me.
I clutched the five yuan, took a deep breath, and then bought four large steamed buns and two packs of pickles.
I spent three yuan and had two yuan left.
The steamed buns and pickles were served with cold water. After filling my stomach, I lay on the hotel bed and made plans for tomorrow.
Since you failed to apply for a job and no one took care of you, you have to think of other ways out.
Now that I have no education and no connections, it seems difficult to find a decent job. But if it doesn't work, I will go to the labor market and find some physical work first, so as to survive first.
Otherwise, I won’t be able to stay in this hotel tomorrow.
A man is capable of bending and stretching. As long as he relies on his own strength to eat and carry bricks, there is no shame in him.
So early the next morning, I went to a labor market to look for a job.
I'm young and strong, so I should be fine.
So I set aside two yuan just to take a bus to the labor market.
But when you get there, it’s not easy to find physical work. The people they recruit are all for technical jobs, such as plumbers, bricklayers, carpenters, oil workers, fitters...
Even if he is a sewer man, he has a sign on his body: Professional Sewer Unblocking.
What is my major?
Apart from running business and doing sales, I don’t seem to have any other specialties.
Oh, by the way, I can still drive, but when places recruiting drivers see my age, they all reject me outright.
They only want experienced drivers and require driving experience.
It would be easy to work as a security guard, waiter, or even move bricks on a construction site.
At any rate, let’s get over the current difficulty first.
There was a group of people not far away. They all seemed to be laborers waiting for work. I was ready to join them.
Just as I was thinking this, I noticed an old man setting up a stall under the overpass on the side of the road, and there was also a fortune teller. He seemed to be a fortune teller.
Hey, I suddenly remembered, who said I have no special skills, I can also tell fortunes!
I leaned over there, trying to strike up a conversation with him.
The old man didn't seem to notice me. He was wearing a light down jacket, sitting on a small horse bed, holding a radio in his hand and listening to it.
What was being sung on the radio seemed to be Peking Opera, and the old man was shaking his head, listening to it very happily.
I took another look and found that his fortune-telling stall was quite simple. It contained three six-line coins, a fortune-telling tube, and a red cloth with a gossip drawn on it and four big characters written on it: Zhouyi Divine Fortune Teller.
