Return to 90 and start a career - Chapter 445 It’s good to be an ordinary person
During the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, Li Manjun and his family stayed one night in Heather Town before returning to Rongcheng in the afternoon of the next day.
Li Jianjun also came back and stayed with his sister and brother-in-law temporarily, preparing to find a job.
Zhao Yong told him to go directly to work in his company, but Li Jianjun refused. He wanted to find it on his own.
Of course, the reason is not because he doesn’t like the job provided by Zhao Yong, but because he wants to understand the current social situation and know his level in the market.
Three years of military life did not allow him to break away from his daily life, but it did isolate him for three years, and he could be said to be completely ignorant of the changes in the current market.
Li Manjun thought his brother’s idea was quite good. Seeing that he had ideas of his own, he encouraged him to try more.
“If you have any difficulties, tell me and your brother-in-law.” Li Manjun warned with a smile.
Li Jianjun nodded to express his understanding, and was very happy that his sister supported him to try.
Unlike his parents, who urged him to find a random class first.
Li Manjun and Zhao Yong were already busy. After explaining these words to Li Jianjun, they ignored him and let him do whatever he wanted.
After more than ten days like this, when Li Manjun was already packing his things and preparing to go to Dongshi for a business trip, Li Jianjun came over with a dejected look on his face and sighed:
“Sister, I didn’t expect it to be so difficult to find a job.”
Li Manjun called him in while finding the suitcase.
Li Jianjun walked into his sister’s bedroom and felt uncomfortable, so he stopped at the door to talk to her.
“What difficulties did you encounter?” Li Manjun asked curiously.
Li Jianjun sighed, “It’s not difficult at all. I just feel like I’m terrible and can’t do anything.”
After several interviews, he now regrets that he did not study hard to enter college.
The jobs he was interested in required academic qualifications.
In my parents’ time, junior high school diplomas were very popular, let alone high school graduates, which were simply popular.
But it’s different now. A high school degree is nothing. For positions with easy work and high wages, the recruitment information says that you have a high school degree or above. But after the interview, you realize that a high school degree is just for running around, and what they want is a college degree. Educational degree or above.
Of course, he also had successful interviews, but what he said during the interview was completely different when he was hired.
He was clearly applying for a technical position. He took the driver’s license test when he was in the army and wanted to be a driver. However, when he joined the company, he was given a sales employee card.
At that time, Li Jianjun thought that he would give it a try first. Unexpectedly, he found out that he had been deceived after only one morning.
He decisively left in the afternoon, but the company manager wanted him to pay liquidated damages and refused to let him go.
However, he had not been in the army for three years just for food. None of the male employees could stop him, so Li Jianjun ran away.
Li Jianjun told no one about this embarrassing incident.
Later, he lowered his requirements and looked at jobs recruiting bodyguards and security guards.
Unexpectedly, he didn’t even make it into the first round.
This year is no better than last year. Last year veterans were very popular, but there were more monks and less flesh. This year they are all rolled up. The bosses prefer those who are wild and think that nothing will happen if the troops retire.
You might as well report them, that would be causing trouble for yourself.
After hearing his brother’s bitter words, Li Manjun couldn’t help but stand up and patted the young man on the shoulder, “The battle was tragic.”
Li Jianjun shouldered his shoulder and said, “Oh~, I didn’t expect that being a bodyguard is so demanding nowadays. You have to be able to speak foreign languages and dialects, you have to turn a blind eye to the boss’s things, and you have to be discerning enough to see the real deal. The wife must know how to cover for the boss, then she is not a bodyguard, she is clearly being treated as a dog.”
Li Manjun laughed out loud, “Where did you learn this description? Is the bodyguard market so busy now?”
Li Jianjun glanced at his sister helplessly, “I heard it from the boss’s bodyguards.”
His instructor wrote him several contact information. They were all former veterans. I heard that they are doing well now, so he could go to them if he had difficulties.
These things are known to the seniors.
Li Manjun comforted him: “It’s okay. Everything is difficult at the beginning. You will gain experience after going through it a few times. Your biggest asset now is your youth. You still have many low-cost trial and error opportunities, so don’t worry. Anyway, my family doesn’t expect you to get ahead. Shining on the lintel.”
Li Jianjun was about to cry, “Sister, are you serious?” Are you sure you are not mocking him?
Li Manjun nodded, “We all know what level you were when you were young, and your parents know better. There’s nothing wrong with us just being ordinary people.”
Seeing that his sister didn’t mean to make fun of her, Li Jianjun felt a little better and was a little touched.
He asked out of curiosity: “Sister, don’t you think I’ve embarrassed you?”
Not to mention the eldest sister in front of him, her excellence had already blinded him.
The second sister is also a graduate of Haishi University. Before she graduated, she already got an internship job at Haishi TV Station. No one in town would give her a thumbs up.
As for him, he didn’t do well in school and wanted to be a soldier and have a solid job. He was unlucky and the welfare policy was gone. Now he went out to find a job by himself, and it was not his turn to be chosen by others.
Li Jianjun has been an optimist since he was a child, thinking little and having the greatest goodwill towards things, so now he suddenly feels the malice from society, his self-esteem is frustrated, and his mentality is a bit broken.
Li Manjun felt his collapse and low self-esteem, stood up on tiptoes and patted his forehead, “Don’t think too much, we have never been embarrassed by you. Look at Nian Nian, don’t you like your uncle the most?”
“You are more patient than us and are willing to spend time with her to be crazy. In fact, you have a strong ability to empathize. Everyone feels very comfortable with you. These are your advantages.”
Li Jianjun pulled down the corners of his mouth, looking like he was about to cry, “Really?”
Li Manjun nodded, and saw the young man in front of him with red eyes, looking extremely moved, and helplessly laughed.
“Well, I happen to be going to Dongshi on a business trip. It’s quite chaotic there. How about you come to work as my bodyguard and driver for the time being? The salary is the same as outside.”
It’s not that I sympathize with him, Li Manjun just feels that people cannot stop when they encounter difficulties, but should do something to get themselves moving.
Li Jianjun has been in the army for three years and has very little experience. The trip to Dongshi just gave him a lot of experience.
Li Jianjun’s eyes lit up, he nodded quickly, then waved his hand and said: “Sister, I’m doing it for free, no salary, just give me food and accommodation.”
Li Manjun nodded jokingly and reminded him: “Does Mr. Li know?”
Li Jianjun was startled for a moment, then quickly realized what he was doing and called Mr. Li seriously.
Li Manjun also responded seriously, and the two siblings looked at each other and laughed.
Seeing his gloom swept away, Li Manjun raised his eyebrows and took out the still-warm diploma he had just received and showed it.
“Sister is now a college student, with a serious bachelor’s degree.”
Li Jianjun: Damn it! Is it intentional? It must be!
