The subscription is less than 30 years, and the anti-theft is half a day. Please make up the subscription to support the original version. Thank you. "Well, I want to be a singer. I have been working hard in the past few years, but the effect is not very obvious." After saying this, Lillian smiled slightly at herself. .
"No, it's great that you have such a dream. Sing it to me sometime!" Celluloid looked at Lillian encouragingly. She also had a good sense of music and sang well, but because of stage fright The problem is, every time I sing in public I always go out of tune nervously, so I have always been a self-entertaining type, so I have always been a little envious of people who can sing well and express themselves openly.
"Well, actually you can hear it when you come to the bar where I work from now on." Lillian smiled softly. In order to realize her dream of becoming a singer, she now works as a resident singer in several bars. She can not only practice her singing skills, but also work in the bar. It is also easy to be discovered by talent scouts in such venues. If you sing well and have your own fans, your debut will be smoother, and the bar will give you a lot of money.
Cellululu was startled when she heard Lillian talk in detail. In order to become a singer, Lillian really put all the focus of her life on it. Even if she made a living, she would not forget music.
After viewing the house, the rent issue was quickly negotiated. Lillian received very little money. Even Celluloid, who didn’t understand the rent situation, felt that the price was a bit abnormal. She wanted to increase the money, but Lillian refused with a smile. She laughed and said that she just wanted to find someone to accompany her, and the rent was secondary. Seeing Lillian's behavior, Celluloid no longer forced it.
However, she didn’t want to take advantage of Lillian too much. It was not easy for the other party to be alone. She didn’t know how to compensate Lillian so that it would be difficult for her to refuse. Cellululu thought about it and suddenly thought that Lillian’s working hours were at night, so she should She didn't have time to cook or eat properly, so Cellulu decided to take over the task of cooking and buying vegetables, and she would also pay for the food, which could be considered as compensation. Although Lillian wanted to refuse, she gave in after Cellulu said she would move out if she didn't let her pay for food and cooking.
With no worries, Cellulu can now find a job with peace of mind. However, this time she wants to slow down her pace a little. In the past, she was running for a living and unexpectedly left her place of residence several times. She had almost no time to deepen her understanding of this world. This time, Cellululu planned to take some time to calm down and go to the library to study hard. She is a little too ignorant now, Celluloid felt.
After searching hard and looking for part-time jobs that had free working hours and allowed her to have time to study, Cellululu soon found a job that was quite suitable for her.
Subway coordinators assist subway staff in diverting crowds during rush hours and provide consultation and answers to people who are unclear about subway routes. The daily working hours are the peak hours of commuting, that is, from 6 to 9 in the morning and from 5 to 7 in the evening. In this way, she would be free from nine o'clock to five o'clock in the afternoon, and she would have a lot of time to spend in the library. Therefore, although the salary was not much, Cellululu immediately applied for this part-time job and was successfully admitted. .
The subway system in Cohen is very developed. Most people use the subway to travel. As a result, there are extremely many subway routes. The transfer points are even more complicated. The calculation method of fares is also quite difficult. How to get to yourself quickly and economically? The destination is a compulsory course for every Cohn person, but this also leads to many non-Cohn people often getting lost in the subway and unable to find the direction they want to go, because there are too many such people and not enough formal staff. , which is also an important reason for the creation of subway coordinators.
Although Celuulu is not from Cohen, the subway company will provide training to make them familiar with their work. Therefore, Celulu is studying seriously with the official subway staff to understand how to evacuate people and memorize the time of each route. , transfer points and fare systems, how to make the best ride plan or guide ticket purchases for people who are lost.
After finishing the training on the first day of the morning, she went back to the staff locker room to change out of work clothes, and then took the subway to the largest municipal library in Cohen.
Walking in front of rows of bookshelves, Cellulu looked for books that introduced the conditions and customs of various countries in the world. She decided to learn the characters through these books, so that she could quickly understand the situation of the world without being confused by a single Reading makes me feel boring.
Walking to the geography and history area, Cellululu carefully browsed the titles on the bookshelf. She suddenly caught a glimpse of a book called World Customs. After thinking about it, it seemed suitable as an enlightenment textbook to familiarize herself with the world, so she stretched out her hand. , wanted to pick up the World Customs Chronicle, but when he was about to touch the back of the book, he came into contact with another pair of hands.
After being stunned for a moment, Cellululu immediately withdrew her hand, and the other person quickly withdrew her hand. She turned to look at the owner of the hand. An extremely delicate blond boy stood beside her, half taller than herself. The tall, clear blue eyes were also looking at her at this time, and the other party spoke first.
"Um, I'm really sorry just now. You can take this book and read it first." The young man looked at Cellululu in a friendly manner. After speaking, he nodded politely to her and turned around to leave.
"Ah~~, wait a minute, if you only need this book, you can take it first. I don't necessarily need this book." Seeing that the young man was leaving, Celluloid hurriedly tried to persuade him to stay. If this is what you happen to need, it would be better to give it to someone who needs it more.
Hearing what Cellulu said, the blond boy turned around. Apparently he didn't expect Cellulu to say that. His face was a little surprised, but then he showed a look of surprise.
"Really? Don't you really need this book?" Seeing Cellululu nodding affirmatively, the boy showed a smile for the first time and looked at Cellululu with a smile. "Actually, I have been looking for this book, but it is difficult to find. I saw it today, so I was a little excited. Thank you very much for giving it to me."
"No, you're being polite. There was no reason to give in. You need this book more than I do, so naturally you should read it." Cellululu also replied with a smile. The other party's humility and politeness made her very willing to give in. This book.
The boy took the book away, nodded politely to Cellululu, and left. Cellululu continued to look for other books of the same type in front of the bookshelf.
Picking up a random book that introduced the world and customs, Cellulu came to the reading room, picked a window seat and sat down, then opened the book page. She wanted to test her writing skills first, but Obviously, the difficulty of this book is still far beyond her current level, and she cannot understand many parts. Of course, a large part of the reason is because it involves too many proper nouns. She who does not understand the world will naturally not be able to understand it. Yes, with a sigh, Cellululu decided to honestly borrow another dictionary and compare it with each other.
Looking through the dictionary and comparing it at the same time was very slow. In the blink of an eye, it was 3pm. She put down the pen, rubbed her eyes and looked at the book in her hand. It took her most of the day to read dozens of pages. , and there are still many things that are incomprehensible.
Sighing, Cellululu closed the book, a little tired, but she also knew that learning a brand new language and writing was like this at the beginning, so she couldn't rush it.
Anyway, it was almost time to go back. She still had to buy groceries to cook at home, and then go to work again. Thinking about this, when she stood up, Cellululu realized that the person who had been sitting opposite her and had been reading for a long time like her was actually the blond boy she met in the morning. At this time, he was holding the book of world customs. Watching intently, he didn't notice the movement of the celluloid.
Sure enough, he is a book lover. He was so engrossed in it, Cellululu thought after looking at the boy, returned the book in her hand to the original area, and left the library.
After returning home after shopping for groceries, Cellululu heard a pleasant and melodious piano sound as soon as she entered the door, followed by a soft and melodious female voice. It was Lillian singing. An unknown song, but it gave people a warm and calm feeling. Celluloid walked gently to the piano room, looked at Lillian sitting on the piano playing and singing, leaned against the door and listened quietly, Lillian's Her voice, like hers, gives people a gentle and peaceful feeling. She should be very suitable for singing church hymns and other songs.
After singing the song, Lillian looked at the celluloid by the door, smiled and asked, "How was it? How did I sing?"
"Well, very good, you sing very nicely." Cellululu commented matter-of-factly.
"Yes, everyone says that I can sing well. I have submitted my own CDs to audio and video companies several times to try out. The other parties were also very interested in contacting me, but each time it was before my official debut. I'm stuck. If I could follow the company's arrangements regardless of everything, maybe I wouldn't have debuted until now. But, alas~~ maybe my consciousness is not enough." Lillian said gloomily. Reflecting on his own experience, he smiled bitterly at the end.
Lillian didn't make it clear what the company's arrangements were, but Cellululu could guess that strength doesn't mean everything, especially in the entertainment industry. If you want to become famous, you need a background and backstage. It's not that easy to get along. Therefore, many artists would sacrifice their bodies in exchange for backstage. Obviously Lillian was unwilling to do this, but Celluloid didn't know how to comfort Lillian.
In the end, I could only squeeze out a sentence: "Although things in the world may not always go as planned, if you give up, you will not get any results. As long as you continue, there will always be a chance of a turn. Lillian is the same." You think this way, so that’s why you persist until now, right?”
"Well, yes~~" Lillian may just hope that someone can tell her to please hold on. When Cellululu said this, her expression became obviously much brighter. After all, she must be very hesitant, as long as With a little sacrifice, she might be able to realize her dream. In the face of temptation, not everyone can stick to their own principles and do things.
Seeing that Lillian's mood improved, Cellululu's mood also became happy. She smiled and said to Lillian: "I'm going to cook now, and I will let you taste my cooking later. People say it’s pretty good~~”
Lillian was naturally full of praise for Celluloid's craftsmanship, and felt that her decision to keep Celluloid was extremely wise.
--------------------------------------------------
After a few days, Cellululu gradually became familiar with the work of a subway coordinator, and was able to work independently without the need for a full-time person to provide guidance. However, another task corresponding to this was carried out. It didn't go well. Thinking of studying in her library, Cellululu couldn't help but feel a little dizzy.
Stepping into the reading room of the library, Cellululu saw the blond boy she met in the library as usual today. Since it was a one-time acquaintance, Cellululu still paid considerable attention to this boy. After that day, she came to the library every day, and the blond boy also reported every day.
He has been reading the Chronicle of World Customs. Does he want to read it all? It will probably take a lot of time, Cellululu thought as she glanced at the book as thick as a brick in the other person's hand, and decided to wait until the young man finished reading the book before reading it. A book that can make people so interested and engrossed should be quite good. .
However, let’s finish reading this book first. Cellululu looked back at the book in front of her depressedly. It has been a few days, and her progress is still very slow. Without people from this world to explain, some places are always I can't understand it, I have no idea what I'm saying. Looking at the notes in front of her, they were already densely filled with her experiences, doubts, and some problems with writing over the past few days. These were all things she was going to ask Lillian, but Lillian's time and her time never matched up, so these questions have not been answered until now.
Celluloid tapped the notebook with a pen, feeling a little headache. If she kept reading like this, it probably wouldn't be of much use, but it wouldn't work if she didn't read. When she was worried, a clear and bright voice suddenly sounded next to her.
"Well, I see that you have been taking notes in the past two days, and sometimes you look very troubled. Have you encountered something that you cannot understand? If possible, we can discuss it together, and maybe we can solve your problem. .”
Cellululu looked up and was surprised to see that the person speaking in front of her was the blond boy from before. The other person smiled politely and looked at her with clear blue eyes in a friendly manner. Cellululu thought that the young man didn't notice her at all, but she didn't expect that he was still paying attention to her.
However, Cellululu was a little moved by the young man's suggestion just now. She was worried that no one would explain it to her. It would be great if this young man could help her now, and he looked like he had a good mind.
Seeing that Cellululu just looked at him silently and in surprise, the young man was a little embarrassed and hesitantly said: "That~~"
Before the boy could finish speaking, Cellululu immediately cut off the other person's words.
"I'm sorry, I didn't expect you to notice my situation, and I was a little surprised for a moment. But is what you just said true? I do have a lot of questions, but no one answers them, which is very distressing, but maybe my questions are not as good as It's so profound as you imagined. I wonder if you would still be willing to answer it, and would it waste your time?" Cellululu looked at the book of world customs in the young man's hand, feeling a little hesitant.
"No, there is no difference in the depth of the problem, and explaining it to others is also a way to consolidate one's knowledge. I also have plenty of time. You don't have to worry. Besides, I didn't thank you properly for what happened last time." Hearing this, the young man looked at Looking at Celluloid, she smiled sincerely.
"Ah~ You really don't need to take that matter to heart, but if it doesn't delay your own business, then please help me. Thank you." Cellululu stood up and bowed, saying to the young man She couldn't refuse the proposal, because she really needed someone to clear her doubts now.
"My name is Cellululu, please just call me by my first name. I won't bother you in the future." Cellululu formally introduced herself to the other party.
"You're welcome. I also want to ask for your advice. My name is Kurapika. You can just call me by my name." Kurapika smiled slightly and introduced himself.
Kurapika? When she heard the other party's name, Cellulu was stunned for a moment. The beautiful blond boy named Kurapika gave her a familiar feeling again. When I came to this world, I had experienced inexplicable familiarity several times, so many that even Celluloid could not explain it with the sense of déjà vu. However, even if I tried hard to think about it, I still couldn't remember anything.
After shaking her head, Cellululu decided not to pursue it anymore. She would always think of it one day. Thinking this, she nodded and smiled at Kurapika.
"Okay, Kurapika."
It can be said that Cellulu is quite familiar with this work. After traveling through most of the city by public transportation, she soon discovered something terrible.
After handling Nakalli's inheritance, she only left 50,000 yuan for herself as mobile capital, because the prices in Skarli were very cheap, and the normal monthly expenses were only around 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. If housing was included, Something like that, the cap is only 100,000. Cellululu originally planned to use this money to live in Rietta for half a month, and then find a job during this period. When the income is stable, she can rely on herself. After all, she didn't want to take away too much money from Nakari, and her total inheritance was only seven or eight hundred thousand. Considering the long-term work of entrusting Aunt Yuli to take care of the tomb, the money was actually not enough at all.
However, after comparing the product prices and hotel information here, she had to realize with frustration that she had wrongly estimated the consumption level and price index of the two places. She originally thought that even if there were differences, they would not be too different. It's a lot, but in Rietta, 50,000 yuan is probably only enough to cover your own expenses for four or five days. If you save money on the hotel, although you can barely postpone it to half a month, there will be a lot of inconveniences.
And while visiting this city, she also discovered one thing. The business scope of this city is very concentrated, and most of them are stores selling high-tech products. This made her have some doubts about the job search she was about to start. disturbed.
After traveling around here and there, Celluloid found a place in the city that was similar to a slum area. The rent and food prices in this area were a bit cheaper than in the city center. After settling in a dilapidated hotel, Celluloid Lu lay on the bed in the hotel and started reading all the newspapers in the city she bought on the road. This was an excellent source of information for initially understanding the current situation of a city and looking for job opportunities.
The news in the newspaper is all about what new products a certain company has developed, how much more efficient than the original similar products, etc., what a company has made a major breakthrough in a certain field, new technologies are expected to be applied in the commercial field, and so on. A company's annual new product launch conference was full of similar technology news, including what high-tech products it would launch. The large number of professional terms made Celluloid's eyes look like mosquito-repellent incense, and she looked confused.
After skipping these news with a headache, Cellululu felt a little uncertain in her heart. It is estimated that the next job will not be so easy to find. As expected, more than 70% of the recruitment information involves high-tech related jobs. There are very few jobs with low requirements and low technical content.
Sighing, Cellulu circled the job information in the newspaper that she might do, and decided to call tomorrow and try her luck on the street to see if she could find other recruitment information.
--------------------------------------------------
In the past two or three days, Cellululu has been running around the streets and alleys of the city looking for work. She has gotten to know the city a little bit. Rietta is a city famous for its high-tech product development and manufacturing. Its core pillar industry is high-tech. Technology products. More than 80% of the companies in the city focus on technology products. The high-tech products they produce for civilian and military use are quite competitive in the world. The new products released here every year are also leading the way. The world's cutting-edge technology.
The business scope is too concentrated, which leads to the demand for staff being too concentrated. This is why most of the job recruitment information Cellulu saw in newspapers are for high-tech related jobs, and the most jobs are recruited by the production departments of major companies. Production workers, but even this requires applicants to be familiar with relevant production equipment and hold relevant professional qualification certificates.
A large number of elites came to Rietta for development, which also put considerable pressure on employment in this city. Many people who could not find a job had to switch to low-skilled jobs, which in turn exacerbated the situation of low-skilled and low-skilled people. Competitive pressures for salaried jobs.
Although it is not a particularly suitable city to live in, Cellululu does not want to leave in a hurry. Part of the reason is that she does not understand the world yet and does not want to embark on a journey without a plan, but the more important reason is that Cellululu is a very happy-go-lucky person. As long as she can endure it, she will not think about changing. Of course, this kind of character can also be said to be more submissive, but in any case, Cellululu decided to stay in this city for two days. months.
Since she didn’t want to live for a long time and was only staying for a short time, Cellululu gave up on looking for a formal job and started to pay attention to some odd jobs or daily dispatch jobs. Fortunately, there are still quite a few such jobs. It is unstable and the salary is low. Usually the people who do this kind of work are students. On the contrary, it is more in line with Cellululu's current external image, and the identity verification for this kind of job is relatively loose.
Speaking of identity, when looking for a job, Cellululu realized that the world was very strict about identity checks, and there were many places where the ID was needed.
Cellululu is a natural gangster, and it is impossible to have an identity in this world. Identity is not a big problem for Cellululu when living in some worlds, and it is easy to get along, especially in some worlds with relatively backward civilization. Due to low productivity and rapid population movement, the identity check system is not very strict.
However, in a world with a higher degree of civilized development, because the social system is quite sound, the registration of identity and the like is even stricter, to the point where it is almost impossible to move without an identity. This world belongs to this type. Long-distance travel tickets, accommodation Everyone needs an identity; when looking for a job, as long as you are a regular employee, even if you are washing dishes, you need to register the employee's identity information and enter it into the city's various security systems. Medical care, housing, banks, basically everything requires you to show your identity before you can do anything.
When registering for this hotel, Celluloid took Nakari’s ID card and made the other person think it was her own ID card, because this kind of small hotel does not require the passenger’s identity to be logged into the computer system. Although Celluloid Celluloid can control people's minds and give people illusions, but it cannot control the computer system. Once it is entered into the computer system, it will be compromised. Someone will always notice the mistake, and Celluloid cannot control everyone, so find a copy. Formal work is indeed quite reluctant for today's celluloid.
I remember that when she first came to this world, Cellululu once tested Nakari about how to obtain a new identity, but the other party's answer was surprisingly decisive. There is no person without identity in this world, even abandoned babies, in A national number will also be issued at the moment of birth and recorded in the database. It is used worldwide and can be verified through the Internet.
Cellululu didn't believe that a world's system could be so sound. There would definitely be accidents in everything, but ordinary people wouldn't know about such things. She had also tried searching online for information on how to apply for false certificates, but It actually showed that there was no one, but the more this happened, the more certain Cellululu was that there must be one. After all, it was too clean to be normal. However, because there was too little information and no way out, how to obtain the identity was still a problem for Cellululu. It's a difficult question.
I quickly found a part-time job, a job as a mobile phone promotion girl. Since the recruiting company had just released a new type of mobile phone, it required a large number of manpower for intensive marketing promotion. It only lasted two months and worked three to five times a day. During the hour, I would distribute leaflets and assist the formal sales staff with auxiliary work. The salary offered by the other party was quite good, and the salary was paid daily. This was perfect for Celluloid.
The second job was late at night. It was only for a month, from 2 to 4 o'clock every day. Due to road maintenance work, Selulu had to do road traffic control. The salary was also quite generous. The two odd jobs combined were more than enough to maintain daily life. .
----------------------------------------
Rieta, Crete Commercial Street, the bustling crowds are moving on the street, people are constantly pouring out from the department stores on both sides, and in the blink of an eye, another group of people are pouring into the building, everything is lively and lively An extraordinary sight.
A girl with long aqua hair in a ponytail shuttled among the crowd, constantly handing out leaflets in her hand to the tourists around her, with a sweet smile on her face and her mouth kept repeating.
"Hello, Keqi company's new mobile phone is launched, it is powerful and fashionable, please take a look,"
Fine beads of sweat rolled down the girl's forehead from time to time. The weather has been extremely hot these days, and working outdoors is quite hard. Needless to say, this girl is naturally working on celluloid.
Celluloid’s working location is not fixed. Sometimes it is on the street outside the department store. Like now, sometimes she is assisting the sales staff at the mobile phone counter. Sometimes she goes to the company’s specialty store. Of course, she also works at the company’s headquarters. At that time, the company's technology was cutting-edge and its products were very popular, so it was quite strong. Therefore, it had its own building in a prime location in the city center. The lower six floors were used as general shopping malls, two of which sold the company's own products. The floors are all office floors. Except for the production department, which is not here, the other departments are all concentrated in one building.
For three weeks, Cellululu has been doing repetitive and simple things endlessly every day. She is a bit burnt out at work. Now her brain is in a state of emptying. She keeps a stiff smile on her face, mechanically repeats the advertising slogans, and hands out the propaganda in her hand. Some people will take it away with interest, some people will just ignore the celluloid hand and walk over, and some people will stop and ask some questions after reading the leaflet, like someone asked now:
"Well, it looks good. Have you used it? How do you feel?"
A clear male voice, every word spoken out has a strange upward jumping feeling, so it always sounds cheerful.
"I can't even afford a mobile phone, how could I ever use such an expensive thing."
Cellululu came back to her senses after subconsciously answering the other party's question. She immediately looked at the other party as if to remedy the situation and responded quickly.
"Sorry, I haven't used it, but we are selling this phone very well, and the feedback from customers is very good, so I believe it should be very good."
Explaining with a smile, Cellulu looked at the boy in front of her. It must be a boy. She was not sure. He was quite tall, about 1.8 meters tall. He was wearing a black casual T-shirt and loose pants of the same color, with exposed arms. He looked quite strong, and he should be an adult man based on his figure, but when he saw the other person's face, Cellululu hesitated. The brown hair, green eyes, and baby face made the other person look only sixteen years old. Around him, he was looking at himself with a smile.
"Sure enough, Westerners are very well developed. Such a young boy is actually so tall and strong." Cellululu, who naturally thought that the other party was a Westerner, directly defined the other party's age.
"But he is a really cute boy, a sunny and handsome guy."
Being looked at by the young man with such a sunny smile made Cellululu feel happy and comfortable, and her liking for this young man immediately increased.
Because of her good mood, Cellulu even smiled a lot bigger than before. Pointing to the department store behind her, she continued to add to the boy in front of her.
"If you are interested, you can go to the fifth floor of Meri Department Store to have a look. There is a sales counter for this kind of mobile phone where you can actually use it and feel it."
"Hmm~~Yeah~~" The young man smiled and thought for a moment, then said to Celluloid with a hearty smile.
"Then I'll go take a look. Goodbye, lovely lady."
Yang Yang held the flyer in his hand, turned around, and instead of walking towards the department store behind him, he continued to walk forward, and soon he was lost in the crowd.
