Chapter 1

June 1, 2017.

Zhongzhou city.

Three in the afternoon.

The sky is clear.

Carrying a black backpack printed with "borrowing every day", Tang Qing runs among the vehicles parked at the roadside and skillfully inserts his business card into the wiper of the car.

At this point.

Sweat had soaked his white shirt.

It's very uncomfortable to stick to the skin.

The tie around his neck is tightly tied. On such a hot day, in the eyes of passers-by, he is a standard brain wreck.

It can be required by the company.

You have to wear them properly and tightly. What you can't wear loosely is to create and maintain a good corporate image and give people a professional feeling.

There is no human rule for this.

The front-line salesmen of the company have already complained and donated "MMP" to the leaders of the company for free. How can NIMA talk about the corporate image in a hot day?

Are you kidding me?

Even if you blow the air conditioner in the office, after all, the division of labor is different, there is nothing to say.

But it's unrealistic to give orders.

Let Tang Qing can't help but want to curse.

"I borrow every day."

That's right.

Tang Qing is a salesman of a small loan company.

Every day through various channels to find people in urgent need of loans, usually if there is no customer, to the street business card is one of his work, followed by telemarketing.

It's such a hot day.

I wanted to call at the company.

But the phone numbers that I bought a few days ago were trapped.

Basically, all of them have been called by peers, or many of them are invalid numbers. For this, he threatened the seller to replace them with new ones with bad comments last night, and the seller promised to give him another batch of numbers tonight.

。。。

Today is children's day.

Looking at the children holding the hands of their parents, happy smile from the side.

Tang Qing can't help thinking of his childhood.

His six one.

Usually parents 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. He thought about his first roller coaster ride, his first bumper car ride, his first rowing...

Thoughts fly.

"Get out of my car, or I'll beat you to death..."

Just as Tang Qing was about to put a business card on a black Passat, a roar rang out in vain in his ear.

He was startled.

He quickly drew his hand back.

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

Look up.

I saw a big man with a bad complexion sticking his head out of the window, comparing his fists and yelling at Tang Qing.

Fortunately, Tang Qing is not on the other side of the cab.

Or you'll have to get a punch.

This is also a lesson he learned before, that is, don't insert small pieces of paper on the other side of the cab, otherwise spittle stars or fists will easily fall on himself.

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

Tang Qing said with a smile.

I've been in business for more than a year.

Of course, it happens all the time.

I don't know how many times he was sneered at, scolded and despised. He was used to it all the time. At the beginning, there were still several times when he was young.

Later, he suffered several losses.

It will inevitably become numb.

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

It's not necessary to scold yourself for not earning money. In order to fight for a moment, it's really unnecessary to be beaten or quarreled for no reason. Everyone comes out to make money, not to look for trouble.

"Go away."

Seeing that Tang Qing had a "good attitude", the big man did not scold him any more. Instead, he gave a hard reply.

See.

Tang Qing gave a faint smile.

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

It's related to his job. In addition to cutting in the car, he also needs to give it to passers-by. Basically, people in this business will give it to men, not women, children and the elderly.

Sometimes, potential customers in need will give a good explanation and leave a phone number by the way.

For follow-up.

It's just that most people don't take his card at all.

Because today is children's day.

Tang Qing doesn't think it's necessary for him to block up the parents.

As long as he leads the child, he can't cover his hair.

Sometimes he doesn't care if his business card is on it, so that he won't get into trouble when he is nearby. It's better to do more than less.It's not easy for everyone.

It's almost half past four.

After walking five or six streets, Tang Qing's thick stack of business cards was handed out.

This is the last stack Tang Qing brought today.

When I went out in the morning, I only took 500 pieces. I bought them in large quantities on the Internet. The material was poor. Each stack of 100 pieces was tied with inferior rubber bands. It was very casual. Only 10000 pieces cost him 200 yuan.

All in all, only one can bring effective customers.

It's back to the book.

Tang Qing, who has sent out his business card, is also thirsty.

In the morning, he went out with a large bottle of cold boiled water and had already drunk it. So he bought a bottle of iced black tea at the roadside shop. He felt that Master Kang's black tea was not as good as his own.

Dirty or not.

Tang Qing sat down on the curb in the shade of the tree at the door of the shop and began to drink.

Although there is shade.

But the weather didn't make much difference. The heat waves were coming, accompanied by waves of uncomfortable car exhaust.

Tang Qing couldn't help sighing.

Where is the clean air in this big city.

After drinking more than half a bottle of black tea in one breath, I finally felt a lot cooler. I loosened my tie and repeatedly pulled my shirt collar. I wanted to pour some wind into it, so that the sweaty shirt would not stick to my skin.

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

This plastic fan was sent by a little sister who sold a house. It was printed with real estate information. He often ran on the street. There were more than a dozen of them at home.

It's very durable.

Up to now, he hasn't worn out one.

He felt that the dozen or so of them could be used for a lifetime, and even as "heirlooms" for future generations.

Of course.

If he had children.

Looking at the passers-by in a hurry, and the so-called prosperous city, a deep sense of strangeness hit.

This is also the feeling of the vast majority of the migrant population in the heart of this fast-growing big city. When they came to this city for more than a year, their original full of vision has been taught by the reality minute by minute.

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

---Business management major.

It can be imagined that the employment situation after graduation of this kind of Magnolia major.

So God gives face.

Two months after graduation.

Tang Qing, who has not yet found a suitable job, joined the postgraduate entrance examination army at the suggestion of his aunt. In the end, he was admitted to this school and this major.

After graduation.

Tang Qing then worked in a foreign trade company mainly engaged in agricultural products in the province.

Working place is a remote prefecture level city in the province.

This company is a complete family business. It has many relatives and relatives, and its internal management is chaotic. After three years, he became a business manager, and only a little more than 4000 a month.

A living income.

There is no hope of promotion.

He was also picked up by those "imperial relatives.".

Frustrated, he resigned.

Although Zhongzhou is not a first tier city, it is in the top of the second tier cities.

In addition, Wang Qiang, a university student who had a good time, was here. Tang Qing chose to come and have a look. Tang Qing, who had just arrived in Zhongzhou City, stayed with Wang Qiang and later became a joint tenant.

After Wang Qiang graduated from University, his parents worked here, so they came to this city.

I've worked in all kinds of industries.

I've set up a stall, sold a house, entered a factory, and worked in an office. Every job is not long, so I didn't earn much money. Three years ago, after a brief introduction, I found a job in a pawn company.

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 enterprise there. It's not too difficult for both parents. At that time, they paid the full amount directly.

Plus it's not far away.

Every week he would go home, and the high-speed railway was only an hour and a half by car, very fast. Wang Qiang still has a car, but it's not here, but his wife is driving to and from work.

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

I just want to make a break.

Think about the opportunities in big cities.

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

In a family business in a small place, even if he had been a manager, it was not a bonus. Moreover, he didn't want to sit in an office and wanted to do some sales training. Later, Wang Qiang suggested Tang Qing to be a small loan salesman.

After all, it's related to his industry.

Can provide him with a lot of experience and help.

Tang Qing thought about it and agreed.

So I found my present job.

Generally speaking, this job is stressful.There are tasks every month, but not many, that's 200000.

Sometimes a single Commission is achieved. The Commission ranges from 50000 to 200000 are 2 percent, from 200000 to 300000 are 2.5 percent, and more than 300000 are 3 percent.

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

Therefore, a few months ago, he was basically living on a basic salary. If it wasn't for the first business Wang Qiang introduced to him, a decoration loan of more than 200000 yuan, he might have been fired in the third month.

Although I have been doing it for more than a year.

But his performance is not so good.

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

The competition is quite fierce.

Where there is demand, there is market.

There must be all kinds of problems and demands for loans from them.

At first, I didn't know what was inside.

No master.

When I saw the customer, I was busy and thought I could do it.

But after the painstaking materials were submitted, they were directly killed.

Or some customers provide false information, information fraud, all kinds of problems, and finally he gradually has the experience to learn well, only to reduce some meaningless workload.

Six months later.

Basically, what list can pass our company's audit.

What list can't be passed by our own company, and what other companies can, we can grasp it.

Tang Qing was born in 1987.

Sitting on the side of the road, Tang Qing thinks that he is already 30 years old, but he has accomplished nothing. He doesn't know how to describe his life, which is a bit teased by heaven.

After more than half an hour's "stuffy" by the roadside, Tang Qing is ready to go home from work. When he goes out to show his business, as long as he reports to a clerk, he doesn't have to go back to clock out in the afternoon.

I took the subway once and took the bus twice.

More than an hour later.

Tang Qing returned to his residence.

I bought a la carte by the way.

He lives in the eastern part of the city, a relatively large new community. He still lives with Wang Qiang, with two bedrooms, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom, and a monthly rent of 2000 yuan.

Wang Qiang's income is relatively high, at least tens of thousands a month. In order to take care of Tang Qing, he was responsible for the big head, while Tang Qing was responsible for sanitation, buying vegetables and cooking.

Years of independent life.

Tang Qing, who didn't know how to cook, also learned how to cook. Although it was too complicated to cook, the home cooking was delicious, which made Wang Qiang praise it. He often joked and asked him to change his profession to cook.

Wang Qiang hasn't come back yet.

But calculating time is fast.

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 and plays games happily after work.

Occasionally a little social.

More than 20 minutes later.

The sound of unlocking the door rings. He knows that Wang Qiang is back.

"Lao Tang, I'm so tired. Today our boss poured coffee on the floor... Why? Boiled Fish with Pickled Cabbage and Chili? What day is it today? Make this dish. " As soon as he came in, Wang Qiang wanted to gossip about the boss of the company.

A familiar smell came to my face.

Sauerkraut fish.

A very common dish.

But he knew it was of great significance to Tang Qing.

Usually only on special days. Because this is the first dish that Lin Jiaxue taught Tang Qing when she died in a car accident. Wang Yan once said that she liked to eat his pickled fish best.

Wang Yan is a three-year deskmate in Tangqing high school.

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

That's why he spent his college life playing games and wanted to paralyze himself by playing games. Later, after the graduate students gradually improved, quit the game, concentrate on learning.

The tutor also suggested that he continue to study for a doctorate, but he refused.

See originally cheerful Tang Qing abandon oneself.

Wang Yan, who has been in love with Tang Qing for a long time and has been admitted to the same university for different majors, confesses to Tang Qing.

But what Tang Qing thought at that time was that Wang Yan was beautiful, had a good family background, had a good personality, and was cheerful and generous. She should have a better future. In addition, she couldn't put Lin Jiaxue in her heart.

Tang Qing resolutely refused.

But Wang Yan didn't give up at all.

In the name of a classmate.

During the University, I often come to Tang Qing to have dinner, read books in the library, and... quite a lot... quite a lot... In the first three years of college, they seemed to be lovers to outsiders.

It's just that.

Tang Qing has always regarded Wang Yan as a friend.

When he was a senior, he slowly found that he didn't exclude Wang Yan. When he came into his heart, he wanted to try to accept it. But later, due to one thing, Tang Qing gradually alienated Wang Yan.Tang Qing specially said some cruel words to make Wang Yan cry.

From then on, they seldom met and talked much.

This kind of subtle and even a little weird relationship lasted until graduation from university.

After college.

There's less contact between the two.

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

He is busy with postgraduate entrance examination, occasionally chat two, but also just mutual greetings: how are you recently? Is the work going well? Later, I heard from her best friend that Wang Yan had never made a boyfriend.

Of course, Tang Qing knew that Wang Yan didn't put it down.

It's just that he can't make it.

"Nothing. Wang Yan is getting married today." Tang Qing was a little reluctant to smile.

Last week.

Wang Yan made a wedding invitation in her circle of friends.

It's in Mordor.

But he was not ready to attend. When he went out this morning, he hesitated for a long time. Finally, he sent a "happy wedding" and a 3000 yuan gift on wechat.

It's just that.

In the evening.

I didn't see Wang Yan.

Maybe the other party is very busy today!

Tang Qing can only comfort himself in this way.

"Oh, that's it." Wang Qiang said nothing more.

Because he didn't know what to say.

Of course, Wang Qiang knew Wang Yan and knew the story between them. When she was in college, Wang Yan often came to find Tang Qing. It was through Wang Yan that she knew about Tang Qing's family.

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

Not for a while.

The dish is ready.

Just three dishes.

Braised eggplant, double cooked pork and a pickled fish, a bottle of beer for each person.
