I'm a little speechless.
"Uncle Ma, have you recently been on any websites that you shouldn't have been on? You've been watching too many short movies. Is your computer infected?"
"No, I didn't go to any website, I just downloaded it and looked at it."
"..."
I was really defeated by Uncle Ma. After I told him, Uncle Ma asked me how I was doing here, how I was doing, and whether I was wearing warm clothes.
He also told me that it snowed heavily in Harbin, and the snow blocked all the doors of our house.
When he said "our family", I burst into tears, but I couldn't tell him the truth, just that everything was fine here.
Uncle Ma told me again that he had given me a prediction a few days ago, and he saw that I was going to have good luck recently, so he told me to be careful not to let go of a good-looking girl.
He also said to me sincerely: "Xiaofan, believe Uncle Ma, don't take bullshit love seriously. Life is short. If you don't do something when you are young, you will regret it when you are old. If I had At your age, let me tell you..."
I patiently listened to his nagging and was too lazy to talk to him, so I changed the subject and said that I wanted to resign now and asked him to help me find out what my future fortune and work would be like.
Uncle Ma was silent for a while, probably calculating, and then told me that I couldn't find any job in the past two months, so I should try to stabilize myself first.
After hanging up the phone, I was planning my next step when suddenly another call came.
A man who spoke broken Mandarin told me that they had seen my job application information and had passed the review. I could go for an interview tomorrow. If there were no problems, I could go to work that day.
I was overjoyed immediately, thinking that Uncle Ma’s prediction was not accurate at all!
Isn't this a turning point?
After a while, I sorted it out from top to bottom, and then went for the interview.
In fact, many people think that since you can make so much money by telling people's fortunes, why do you have to find a job?
Yes, fortune-telling can make money, but it is unstable and may not open for a few days if you are not lucky. Therefore, for a person like me who has no fixed residence, finding a stable job is the most important thing.
Just like in novels, many male protagonists almost never go to work, and a group of people rush to give him money. It seems that they can get tens of thousands of dollars just to help people deal with something.
But in real life, if a young man in his early twenties says that he doesn't want to go to work and just wants to find a place to set up a stall and tell fortunes, then you will definitely think that he is crazy.
It's like Lao Zhangtou, who has been in the world for half his life and can only tell people 30 or 20 yuan. He can barely make a few thousand yuan a month, which is not bad.
Sometimes it was not even open for a day or two, and he also had days where he ate steamed buns and drank cold water.
This bowl of Jianghu rice is not delicious.
Therefore, I am quite optimistic about this interview opportunity.
We soon arrived at the place, which was in a residential building. The room was quite large, covering more than a hundred or dozens of square meters, and was divided into several small rooms. There were people talking on the phone in each room.
The person who received me was the same man who received me yesterday. He was about thirty years old, with oily hair and pink face, wearing glasses. He spoke very poorly in Mandarin, but he spoke very slowly.
After communicating for a while, I basically understood.
This is a pharmaceutical company. We belong to the sales department and customer service. Our daily work consists of calling customers for follow-up visits and making sales calls to potential users.
To put it bluntly, it’s just making sales calls.
The person told me that the basic salary here is lower, but the commission is very high, and the work is not difficult. I don't have to run around, I just make phone calls every day.
The most important thing is that this place includes food and accommodation.
When I heard this, I thought this was exactly what I wanted. Food and accommodation included were great, but I was worried about having no place to live.
It doesn't matter if the basic salary is low, I just look for a free dormitory and canteen.
The interview only lasted for more than ten minutes, and I passed. The person said that I had good conditions and was very suitable to work for them.
I thought about it and he probably said that my Mandarin is good and suitable for telemarketing.
So I started pre-job training. The person found me a bunch of information and asked me to read it and memorize it.
There was also a woman who took me and said she was my master.
The woman was in her late twenties, with short hair, a bit revealing clothes, and big red lips. She was ugly but not ugly, just smelling of the dust of society.
Reading those materials gave me a headache. They were all about medicine, and I was confused after reading them.
My "master" asked me to sit next to her, read the information, and listen to her on the phone at the same time. She also said that this is called on-site teaching, and I will be able to do it after listening to it a few times.
And even though this woman looked like a lady, when she called her, she said she was a doctor, which made me a little awe-struck.
This man, you really can't judge a book by its appearance.
I listened there all afternoon, and my head was filled with the sound of phone calls. There were almost twenty people in this room, and everyone came and went with different accents, just like a room full of birds having a meeting.
To be honest, I am really not used to this. I am a quiet person. This feels like being in a big family.
It's a bit inaccurate to say that I have a big family. In fact, it feels more like I'm in prison...
But these people are very enthusiastic, like a big family. They sing during meals and play games during breaks.
Oh my god, I thought I was in a pyramid scheme.
I stayed here for two days, and on the third day, the person in charge brought another thick book, which was filled with some sales terms and specialized words.
After watching it for a while, I was confused.
Because according to this sales term, when I call to introduce myself, I have to say that I am Dr. Wu.
Oh, by the way, this company sells a special medicine to treat eyes. It is very expensive, and a course of treatment costs thousands. But in fact, I have never heard of this medicine.
I bravely made two phone calls, but I refused to say that I was a doctor, so it was of no use. The two phone calls only lasted less than three minutes before I was rejected.
When my "master" saw this situation, he advised me not to resist, and that he was not lying by saying he was a doctor. It was to make people believe in us more, otherwise they would not listen to you at all.
The reason why we have these words is to recommend good products to everyone, so that patients with physical ailments can enjoy good medicines. What we do is a matter of immeasurable merit.
After speaking, she personally picked up the phone to demonstrate to me.
These phone numbers were all collected on-site during previous activities, which were activities dedicated to giving free lectures to the elderly.
After her operation, I realized that this was not a pharmaceutical company, but a fraud organization!
