Chapter 530 Finding a Job

Back home, Kang Yi put the packed meals in the refrigerator, then collapsed on the sofa and fell asleep.

When I woke up, the sun was already setting.

The entire room was empty.

The door of roommate Wang Lu's room was closed tightly. I don't know if she has gone to work, but the other two roommates have not yet returned home.

He sat up, stared at the sky for a while, then slowly came back to his senses, and immediately went to the kitchen.

Because he has lived abroad for several years, foreign food really does not suit his appetite, and Kang Yi is not the kind of rich boy who "reaches out for clothes and eats for food".

In foreign countries, he usually cooks by himself, so he is no stranger to the kitchen.

Of course, there are also Chinese food abroad, which he can afford, but those Chinese food are products of adapting to the environment and suit the appetite of foreigners, but for authentic Chinese, they are not Chinese food.

After he warmed up the packaged meals, the programmer roommate He Weiping came back.

Kang Yi asked the other party if he would like to have a light meal together.

Like most programmers, He Weiping is a technical geek and an introvert. He smiled politely, refused softly, and then locked himself in the room.

He Weiping is more used to being alone with him, and rarely leaves his room. Apart from going to the bathroom, he rarely stays in the living room.

"Hey, handsome guy, don't call me for dinner, you are rude."

At this time, Gu Xintong straddled the fashion bag and went home, smiling and teasing while changing shoes.

Kang Yi placed the food in front of the table and said, "The ancients once said: If you want to grab a woman's heart, you have to grab her stomach. Sister Gu, you eat every day. You will fall in love with me. At the moment when you don't like me, I will immediately cut off your ugly thoughts.

Therefore, I have decided not to invite you to dinner. "

Since Kang Yi moved in, because he and Gu Xintong got along well, every night when he was cooking, he would cook for Gu Xintong, and it was nothing more than an extra bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks.

Gu Xintong is a sophisticated person who will transfer the meal money to Kang Yi and take on the housework of washing dishes.

They cooperated tacitly.

For Gu Xintong, this is a good deal.

After working hard for a day, there are hot dishes and hot soup waiting for her when she comes home, which not only saves money, but also relieves the fatigue of the day.

Gu Xintong tied up her draped hair, and she immediately became energetic, feeling a bit heroic.

"Hiss..." Her eyes widened, she looked at the food on the table, and then her eyes fell on Kang Yi, "What day is it today? A table full of delicacies from mountains and seas? Did you go to a bank to rob?"

There are obviously precious delicacies on the dining table. The Australian lobster is definitely worth a lot, and there are other delicacies from mountains and seas, which arouse her appetite.

For this table of meals, there is no 5000 yuan that can't be taken down.

"." Kang Yi was silent, and looked at the other party seriously: "Am I so unreasonable? Take a big risk to rob and grab a few dishes?"

Facing her puzzled expression, Kang Yi explained: "I squatted in front of the Fulida Hotel for a day, and finally someone saw my hard work attitude and packed some leftovers for me, so this is I got what I worked for."

"Hey..." After hearing the words, Gu Xintong had a disgusted expression on his face, he raised his thumbs up with both hands, and then went down and poked three times, "I despise you!"

Kang Yi asked, "Do you want to eat?"

"eat!"

"."

The two sat opposite each other, tasting the packed meals.

In fact, it's not really leftovers. When I met Zhou An today, Kang Yi specially ordered some extra meals. All the meals he packed were untouched by himself.

"Were you a beggar in your previous life? You also want to grab leftovers?" Kang Yi looked at Gu Xintong and said helplessly.

Most of the food on the table, especially the big Australian lobster, went into the other party's mouth, and the expression on his face showed that he was still unsatisfied.

"Indeed!" Gu Xintong replied coolly, "I was a beggar for the first eight lives, so you can do me a favor and let a stinky beggar like me eat more. After all, I have never enjoyed such a good food. Thank you."

"."

"By the way, you are not really someone else's leftovers, are you?"

Kang Yi rolled his eyes: "If you don't use your brain, you can donate it. I'm lucky today. I met an elder who took me to a restaurant. He invited me."

"Oh, no wonder." Gu Xintong suddenly understood, waved his chopsticks, and wandered among the plates like a whirlwind, "I'll tell you how much money you have in your pocket, and how dare you eat a big meal. Now you can finally rest assured."

I thought I didn't tell you the origin of the big meal, but you had a good time eating it, Kang Yi thought to himself.

I packed a few boxes of meals and ate them all.

Kang Yi put down his chopsticks, lay on the sofa, lazily playing with his mobile phone, while Gu Xintong tidied up and washed the dishes consciously.

At this moment, Wang Lu's room door opened wide, wearing a black hip-wrapping skirt and heavy makeup, ready to go to work.

As a bartender, you must dress very carefully.

Wang Lu nodded to Kang Yi, and was about to leave, when suddenly her eyes fell on the lighter on the small table in front of the sofa, then she walked over, picked up the lighter, and fiddled with it up and down.

Kang Yi turned over and stretched his body, with a strong sense of laziness in his tone: "What are you doing?"

"I seem to have seen your lighter somewhere before." Wang Lu flicked lightly, and a blue flame rose up, which was extremely gorgeous, "Oh, by the way, I saw a rich second generation using the same type of lighter , it seems to be worth a lot, worth 1 yuan, and it was even shown off to me at the time."

"Is it so expensive?" Kang Yi tilted his head.

He didn't think much about it at the time, so he just randomly took a lighter, anyway, Zhou An paid for it.

Wang Lu played with the lighter, couldn't put it down, her eyes were full of love: "Lend me for a few days?"

"Give it to you. Anyway, I didn't spend any money to buy it. Maybe it's a fake product with free shipping for nine yuan." Kang Yi shook his head casually, "However, you have to give me a new lighter, after all, I only have a lighter."

Wang Lu thought for a while, and the 1 yuan lighter did not seem to be affordable by Kang Yi. It was a counterfeit product. She had no extra thoughts, so she handed her lighter to Kang Yi, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay! Good brother! Come to my sister's bar and I'll buy you a drink."

"Come on." Kang Yi replied, "I'm going to drink at your place, I'm afraid I'll be swallowed to the bone."

Wang Lu has been working in the bar for a long time. She has a wealth of work experience, and she can completely grasp the man's mind. A few dollars for a bottle can be sold by her for hundreds of dollars.

"Hey, Dude, I'm not cheating on you." Wang Lu responded with a smile, "Let's go."

Immediately, while playing with the mobile phone, while carrying the small bag, he left the house on a sky high.

Gu Xintong finished washing the dishes, wiped her hands, and walked out slowly.

"Since when did the two of you know each other so well?"

Kang Yi replied solemnly: "I think Sister Wang and I are a match made in heaven. We have already fallen in love with each other. We have waited for thousands of years, done countless good deeds, and helped the common people. In this life, we just met by chance. With the help of God, walk together."

Gu Xintong scratched her face, picked up a pack of paper and threw it at Kang Yi.

"If you want to show some face, shameless is shameless." She sat down, "You think highly of Wang Lu, but others look down on you. Don't think so much about it, you poor man. Prepare to be a bachelor for the rest of your life."

"I just gave Sister Wang a lighter worth 1 yuan."

"fake."

"real!"

"fake."

"The sparrow knows the ambition of the swan."

Kang Yi sighed and walked towards the room.

It was another early morning, and Kang Yi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling mirror, looking at himself in the mirror. He was wearing a black and deep suit and a pair of shiny leather shoes, giving him the air of an elite.

After appreciating it carefully, he nodded with satisfaction, and then left the house.

Kang Yi took a taxi for the first time and came to the central business district, surrounded by high-rise buildings and office buildings. He walked into an office building with his head held high and his face full of joy.

After a while, he walked out slowly again. Compared with the high-spirited one who went in, he was a little depressed and discouraged when he came out.

He entered Starbucks, sat down without spending, and looked at the sky.

It's already August, the sun seems to be crazy, swaying heat like the earth, and the outside is like a steamer, cooking people.

Although Kang Yi's body was hot, his heart was cold.

Because the money in the bank card gradually decreased, from the initial five digits to the current four digits, Zuo Shixue froze his source of income, and also warned Zhou Liang and Deng Xi not to give him money, Kang Yi finally realized that he had no money pain of.

He can no longer rent a house like he did a few months ago, and hang out at will.

Kang Yi started looking for a job that would allow him to live on his own.

Originally, he didn't have too many requirements for work, as long as he could cope with his own survival in Shanghai.

But after traveling to [-] or [-] companies, Kang Yi suddenly realized that his requirements were too high.

With the current economic downturn, various companies have reduced social recruitment, and the competition for employees has increased. At least there are many competitors for an ordinary job.

Kang Yi is a kid from a rich family. How could he get past those people? He interviewed for many jobs and was rejected.

Even if he wants to be a security guard, there is a group of veterans, how can he fight against others.

Therefore, I interviewed dozens of companies and failed to accept them.

He looked at the sky: "Am I really going to do professional counterpart work?"

He is confident in finding a job in this major, but he is not interested in doing counterpart work.

Going to school is bad enough, but doing the same thing at work is even worse.

Kang Yi's eyes fell on the people coming and going around, and he strode away in a hurry, as if some devil was chasing after him, while walking, he was still talking on the phone, with a courteous smile on his face.

This is the so-called white-collar job.

"I'm sorry"

Just at this moment, a familiar voice came to Kang Yi's ears, he raised his brows, and followed the voice.

Not far away, his roommate Gu Xintong was wearing a uniform and was with a foreign woman.

Sweat dripped from Gu Xintong's head, and she stammered in English, trying her best to explain something to the foreign woman, but the foreign woman spread her arms and looked confused, as if she didn't understand anything .

Kang Yi listened carefully. Gu Xintong worked in a foreign trade company. Although he has a Chinese structure and usage, he is still fluent.

Why can't they communicate with each other?

The foreign woman frowned, and said with an extremely complicated accent, as if swallowing jujubes whole, and it seemed to be mixed with some nasal sounds: "XXX XXX"

Kang Yi suddenly laughed.

Coincidentally, Gu Xintong also saw him, stared and said: "Smile with a hammer!"

Kang Yi stood up, not paying attention to Gu Xintong's thoughts, walked up to the two, faced the foreign woman, and said with the same accent: "XXX XXX"

Hearing Kang Yi's answer, the foreign woman suddenly became happy and hugged the former as if she had found a companion.

Kang Yi pulled himself away with great strength, and immediately communicated with the foreign woman.

Gu Xintong stared wide-eyed, watching the two chatting.

"She said that your company's products are very popular with them, and all kinds of data are also supported. She hopes to import more products. In terms of price, you can continue to negotiate, but as soon as possible, because you need to take advantage of the arrival of foreign festivals to sell as soon as possible. go out."

Kang Yi communicated with the foreign woman while translating to Gu Xintong.

Suddenly feeling that there was no response, he turned around and said, "Why are you standing still? Hurry up and put forward your company's requirements and conditions."

Gu Xintong came back to her senses all of a sudden, nodded again and again, and informed the foreign woman of their company's requirements.

In this way, Kang Yi became the translator between Gu Xintong and the foreign woman, conveying their company affairs for the two.

After being busy until the evening, the two parties successfully reached an agreement.

The foreign woman then left. Before leaving, she hugged Kang Yi again, kissed him on the face, and asked a few personal questions.

Kang Yi shook his head, the foreign woman waved away without forcing her.

Looking at the foreign woman's back, Gu Xintong tilted her head and asked, "Before you leave, what are you two talking about?"

"She wants to have an hour-long romance with me."

"Love?" Gu Xintong was a little puzzled, but quickly realized that she pushed Kang Yi, "Fuck you."

Gu Xintong gestured to the waiter, ordered two cups of coffee immediately, and began to sort out what was just discussed in Starbucks.

While working, he asked, "By the way, which language does she speak?"

"English."

"Then why can't I understand?"

Kang Yi said lightly, "Your English is too bad."

"Impossible!" Gu Xintong replied, "I can understand a few words no matter how complicated the English is, but why can't I understand a single word of the English she speaks?"

Kang Yi explained: "English dialect."

"dialect?"

"Chinese has dialects, but English doesn't have them?"

"."

Gu Xintong thought for a while, compared Mandarin, Cantonese, Hokkien, and Sichuan dialect in her mind, and seemed to be able to understand.
