1 June 2017.

Zhongzhou City.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.

Blue skies.

Tang Qing carried a black backpack with 'Everyday Loan' printed on it, running between the various vehicles parked on the side of the road, and inserted the business card in his hand into the windshield wiper of the car with great skill.

At this time.

Sweat had already soaked his white shirt.

It is extremely uncomfortable to stick to the skin.

The tie around his neck was tightly tied, and on such a hot day, in the eyes of passers-by, he was completely a standard brain-dead.

It can be mandatory by the company.

No matter how hot it is, it has to be worn, and it has to be worn upright and tight, and it can't be loose, saying that it is to create and maintain a good corporate image, giving people a professional feeling.

For this completely inhuman provision.

The company's front-line salesmen have already complained, and the sentence 'MMP' was donated to the company's leaders for free.

Are you kidding me?

It's okay if you blow the air conditioner in the office, after all, the division of labor is different, and there is nothing to say.

But unrealistically give orders.

made Tang Qing couldn't help but want to scold.

'Borrow every day. ’

That's right.

Tang Qing is a salesman of a small loan company.

Every day, he looks for people who are in urgent need of loans through various channels, and if he usually has no customers, one of his jobs is to hand out business cards on the street, followed by telemarketing.

Such a hot day.

I wanted to call at the company.

But the batch of phone numbers I bought a few days ago was pitted.

Basically, he has been called by his peers, or many of them are invalid numbers, in this regard, last night he threatened the seller with a bad review to give him a new one, and the seller promised to give him another batch of numbers tonight.

。。。

Today is Children's Day.

Watch the children walk by holding their parents' hands and smiling happily.

Tang Qing couldn't help but think of his childhood.

His June One.

Parents usually take them to the park.

Although there were not as many amusement park projects as there are now, it was the happiest memory of his childhood, thinking about the first time he had done a roller coaster, the first time he played bumper cars, the first time he rowed...

Thoughts are flying.

"Fuck off, I cost my car, be careful that Lao Tzu beats you to death... ”

Just as Tang Qing was about to put a business card on a black Passat, an angry roar sounded in his ears.

He was taken aback.

Hurriedly withdrew his hand.

He didn't notice that there was anyone in the car.

Look up.

I saw a big man with an unkind face sticking his head out of the car window, and shouted at Tang Qing with his fist.

Fortunately, Tang Qing was not walking on the side of the cab.

Otherwise, you might have to get a punch.

This is also a lesson he learned from before, that is, don't stick a small piece of paper on the side of the cab, otherwise it will be easy for spit stars or fists to fall on him.

"I'm sorry, big brother, I'll leave right away. ”

Tang Qing hurriedly laughed.

I've been in the industry for more than a year.

Of course, this kind of thing happens all the time.

He has long been accustomed to being coldly scolded and scolded and despised by him for an unknown number of times, and there were a few young and vigorous meetings at the beginning.

Later, I suffered several losses.

He also inevitably became 'numb'.

Anyway, being scolded is indispensable for a piece of meat.

Scolding back and having no money to make, in order to fight for a moment, if you are beaten or quarrel for some reason, it is really unnecessary, everyone is out to make money, not to find trouble.

"Get out. ”

When the big man saw that Tang Qing had a 'good attitude', he no longer scolded angrily, but just replied with a word fiercely.

Looked at.

Tang Qing smiled faintly.

Go to the next car and continue to issue business cards.

This is related to his job, in addition to plugging in the car, of course, he also needs to send it to passers-by, and those who do this are basically sending it when they see men, not women, children and the elderly.

Sometimes a potential customer in need will explain it and leave a phone number by the way.

for follow-up.

It's just that most people won't accept his business cards at all.

Since today is Children's Day.

Tang Qing felt that he didn't need to block the parents who were celebrating the holidays.

As long as he holds the child, he will not cover it.

Sometimes when he encounters the business card of his colleague on it, he doesn't care, so as not to make the other party nearby, and finally make trouble.

It's not easy for everyone.

It's almost half-past four.

After walking five or six streets, the thick stack of business cards in Tang Qing's hand was distributed.

This is the last pile that Tang Qing brought today.

When I went out in the morning, I only took 500 sheets, bought them in large quantities online, the material was relatively poor, 100 sheets each, tied with inferior rubber bands, very random, 10,000 sheets only cost him 200 yuan.

Count it out as long as there is one that can bring in effective customers.

That's it.

Tang Qing, who had finished handing out business cards, was also thirsty.

The large bottle of cold boiled water he brought with him in the morning had already been drunk, so he bought a bottle of iced black tea at the roadside store.

It doesn't matter if it's dirty or not.

Tang Qing sat on the curb in the shade of the tree in front of the store and drank it heavily.

Although there is shade.

But the weather didn't do much either, as the heat was blowing in and accompanied by uncomfortable exhaust fumes.

Tang Qing couldn't help but sigh.

In such a big city, where is there still clean air?

After drinking most of the bottle of black tea in one go, I finally felt a lot cooler, loosened my tie, and pulled the collar of my shirt repeatedly, wanting to pour some wind into it, so that the sweat-soaked shirt would no longer stick to the skin.

He took out a fan in his backpack and fanned it.

This plastic fan was sent by a little sister who sold a house I met before, and it was printed with real estate information, and he often ran on the street, and he had more than a dozen at home.

It is very durable.

So far, he hasn't even broken a handful.

Of the dozen or so at home, he feels that he can use them for a lifetime, and even continue to use them as 'heirlooms' for future generations.

Of course.

The premise is that he has to have children and grandchildren.

Looking at the hurried pedestrians on the side of the road, and this so-called bustling city, a deep sense of strangeness hits.

This is also the feeling of the vast majority of immigrants in the heart of this fast-growing metropolis, who has been in this city for more than a year, and the original longing has already been taught by reality to be a man in minutes.

Tang Qing graduated from a 211 college in his hometown provincial capital.

--- major in business management.

The employment situation after graduating from this kind of jack-of-all-trades can be imagined.

So God is very face-saving.

Two months after graduation.

Tang Qing, who had not yet found a suitable job, joined the army of postgraduate entrance examinations at the suggestion of his aunt, and finally was successfully admitted, and it was still this school and this major.

After graduating from graduate school.

Tang Qing went to work for a foreign trade company in the province that mainly deals in agricultural products.

The place of work is a relatively remote prefecture-level city in the province.

This company is a complete family business, with many relatives and internal management, and he has been working for three years, and he is only a little more than 4,000 a month when he becomes a business manager.

Income that does not die or live.

There is no hope of promotion.

was provoked by those 'royal relatives' again.

After being disheartened, he resigned.

Although Zhongzhou is not a first-tier city, it ranks among the top few second-tier cities.

In addition, there was a college classmate Wang Qiang who had a good time here, so Tang Qing chose to come and see, Tang Qing, who had just arrived in Zhongzhou City, stayed with Wang Qiang, and later became a shared house.

After graduating from university, Wang Qiang's parents worked at the construction site here, so they came to this city.

I've done it in all kinds of industries.

I have set up a stall, sold a house, entered a factory, sat in an office, and each job is not long, so I have not made any money, and three years ago, I found a job in a pawn company through a small introduction from him.

Do it now.

Wang Qiang has been married for more than two years.

The house is not here, but in the provincial capital of his hometown, his wife works as an accountant in a private company over there, and it is not too difficult for both parents, so they made up the money and paid the full amount directly.

Plus it's not far away.

He goes home once a week, and the high-speed train is only an hour and a half away, which is very fast. Wang Qiang still has a car, but it's not here, but his wife drives it to and from work.

Tang Qing, who had just arrived in Zhongzhou City, didn't know what to do.

Just want to break through.

Thinking about the big city, there are many opportunities.

But in this era when there are as many college students as dogs and graduate students are all over the place.

In a family business in a small place, even if he has been a manager, it is not a plus, and he doesn't want to sit in the office, he wants to engage in sales exercises, and later Wang Qiang suggested that Tang Qing be a small loan salesman.

After all, it has to do with his industry.

Can provide him with a lot of experience and help.

Tang Qing thought about it and agreed.

So I found my current job.

The job is generally stressful.

There are tasks every month, and it's not much, it's only 200,000.

Sometimes an order is reached, and the commission varies from 50,000 to 200,000 percent, 200,000 to 300,000 is 2.5 percent, and more than 300,000 is 3 percent.

However, the company's commission is not paid in the same month, but will be delayed for another month.

Therefore, in the first few months, he basically got a basic salary to get by, if it wasn't for the first business introduced to him by Wang Qiang, a renovation loan of more than 200,000 yuan, he might have been fired in the third month.

Although I did it for more than a year.

But his performance was not much better.

Basically, they have just passed the task standard, after all, they have not been in the industry for a long time, and the state is opening up more and more in this regard, and a large number of small loan companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

The competition is quite fierce.

Where there is demand, there is a market.

Those who can come to them for loans must have a variety of problems and needs.

At first, I didn't know much about the Tao inside.

There is no master to bring.

When I saw the customer, I was busy thinking that it could be done.

But after the hard-worked materials were submitted, they were directly killed.

Or some customers provide false information, data falsification, etc., all kinds of problems, and finally he slowly has experience and learns to be obedient, so that he has less meaningless workload.

Half a year later.

Basically, what list can pass the audit of your own company.

What list your own company can't pass, other companies can pass, and you can grasp the same.

Tang Qing was eighty-seven years old.

Tang Qing, who was sitting on the side of the road, thought that he was already thirty years old, but he had not achieved anything, and he didn't know how to describe his life of feeling a little tricked by God.

After more than half an hour of 'stuffy' sun on the side of the road, Tang Qing was ready to go home from work, like him, when he went out to show his business, as long as he reported to the clerk, he didn't have to go back to check in in the afternoon.

Poured the subway once, the bus twice.

More than an hour later.

Tang Qing returned to his residence.

By the way, I bought a little food.

The place where he lives is located in the east of the city, at the junction of urban and rural areas, a relatively large new community, and he still lives with Wang Qiang, with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, and a monthly rent of 2,000.

Wang Qiang's income is relatively high, at least tens of thousands per month. In order to take care of Tang Qing, he is responsible for the big head, and Tang Qing is responsible for hygiene, grocery shopping and cooking.

Several years of independent living.

Tang Qing, who was not very good at cooking, also practiced first-hand cooking skills, although it was too complicated to do, but the home-cooked food was delicious, which made Wang Qiang full of praise, and often joked that he changed his career to become a cook.

Wang Qiang hasn't come back yet.

But it's time to calculate it.

Tang Qing skillfully began to wash rice, wash vegetables and cook.

Wang Qiang's off-duty time is very fixed, he works very hard, he works very little overtime, he solves things quickly during working hours, and plays games happily after work.

Occasionally, a little social.

More than twenty minutes later.

The sound of unlocking the door sounded, and he knew that it was Wang Qiang who had returned.

"Old Tang, I'm so tired, today our boss actually poured coffee on... What day is today, make this dish. As soon as he entered the door, Wang Qiang wanted to gossip about the boss of the company.

A familiar smell hits the face.

Sauerkraut fish.

A very ordinary dish.

But he knew that this was of great significance to Tang Qing.

It is usually only done on special days. Because this is the first dish that Lin Jiaxue, who died in a car accident, taught Tang Qing, Wang Yan once said that she liked to eat the sauerkraut fish he made the most.

Wang Yan is Tang Qing's tablemate in high school for three years.

After Tang Qing's most important people had a car accident, Tang Qing, who was originally cheerful and optimistic, became silent.

This is also the reason why he basically spent his college years playing games, and wanted to numb himself by games. Later, after going to graduate school, I gradually got better, quit gaming, and concentrated on studying.

The supervisor also advised him to continue his PhD, but he refused.

Seeing that Tang Qing, who was originally cheerful, gave up on himself.

Wang Yan, who had a crush on Tang Qing for a long time and was admitted to the same university and different majors, confessed to Tang Qing.

But Tang Qing thought at the time that Wang Yan was beautiful, had a good family background, a good personality, and was cheerful and generous, she should have a better future, and she couldn't let go of Lin Jiaxue in her heart.

Tang Qing decisively refused.

But Wang Yan didn't give up at all.

In the name of classmates.

During college, I often came to Tang Qing, ate together, went to the library to read books together, and together... A lot... A lot... In the first three years of college, the two seemed to outsiders to be a couple.

It's just that.

Tang Qing has always regarded Wang Yan as a buddy.

In his senior year, when he slowly found that he did not reject Wang Yan into his heart, he wanted to try to accept it, but later due to one thing, Tang Qing slowly alienated Wang Yan again.

Tang Qing deliberately said some cruel words, which made Wang Yan cry.

Since then, the two have rarely seen each other and have not talked much.

This delicate, even a little weird, relationship lasted until college graduation.

After graduating from university.

The two are less connected.

Wang Yan obeyed her family's arrangement and went to study in the UK.

He was busy with the graduate school entrance examination, chatting occasionally, and just greeting each other: How are you doing? Is your work going well?, and so on, and later heard her best friend say that Wang Yan has never had a boyfriend.

Of course, Tang Qing knew that Wang Yan did not let go in his heart.

It's just that he hasn't been able to cross that hurdle.

"It's nothing, Wang Yan got married today. Tang Qing smiled a little reluctantly.

Last week.

Wang Yan posted a wedding invitation in the circle of friends.

The location is in the magic capital.

It's just that he wasn't ready to participate, and when he went out this morning, he hesitated for a while, and finally posted a 'happy newlywed' on WeChat, as well as a gift of 3,000 yuan.

It's just that.

In the evening.

I didn't see Wang Yan collect money.

Maybe the other party is busy today!

Tang Qing could only comfort himself like this.

"Oh, that's right. Wang Qiang didn't say anything more.

Because he didn't know what to say.

Of course Wang Qiang knows Wang Yan, and he also knows the story between them, Wang Yan often came to Tang Qing when he was in college, and it was also through Wang Yan that the dormitory buddies learned about Tang Qing's family.

It's just that he doesn't have Wang Yan's contact information.

Soon.

The dish is fried.

Just three dishes.

Braised eggplant, back to the pot and a sauerkraut fish, one bottle of beer per person.
