Chapter 5 Instinct
When Chen Xiaotang heard Zhao Shucheng's words, he turned his head with a blushing face. Seeing the dishes on Wang Senzhao's tray, he asked in confusion: "How many taels of rice are you doing? Why is it enough for one dish to eat?"
"Four liang of meals is enough." Wang Senzhao said with his head down.
Chen Xiaotang saw that the dishes on Wang Senzhao's plate were made of vegetarian fried cabbage without any meat, so he pushed his plate and said, "Let's eat together, you can try this, it's quite delicious."
Wang Senzhao shook his head this morning. Chen Xiaotang thought he was disgusting with the chopsticks he had used and said, "Sorry, I just use my own chopsticks. Then don't eat what I've moved, pick up food from here."
Wang Senzhao quickly said, "No, it's okay, I don't mean that."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Okay, Chen Xiaotang, you make our boss nervous like this. Just pick up whatever you want." As he said that, he pushed his plate in front so that it could be reached by all three of them.
Zhao Shucheng knew that Wang Senzhao's family was not well-off, so he only served one dish and a few taels of rice when eating. However, he also had his own self-esteem, so it was impossible for him to accept help from others without any grudges. The reason why Zhao Shucheng did not directly help Wang Senzhao was that he knew that such help was actually a kind of embarrassment for Wang Senzhao, and it was a drop in the bucket.
As the saying goes, it is better to teach people how to fish than to teach people how to fish. In this case, Wang Senzhao should actually help him find a job open source instead of paying money to help him.
Although part-time jobs for college students are already very popular now, they were basically not available in the 1990s. After all, college students in that era had to provide distribution, and even had no worries about food and drink, and would not be poor at all.
However, with the development of the times, after college fees began to be charged, college students rely on the support of their families to go to school and pay fees, and some students started to work part-time jobs one after another. Of course, most of them worked as tutors or went to restaurants and other places to do odd jobs. However, only a small number of students, and more students did not have this concept at all, and they could not bear to work. Moreover, the family conditions are really difficult, because there is a policy of being extremely difficult, so part-time jobs only exist in a small range.
For children like Wang Senzhao who came out of the countryside, they have no such concept of part-time work. They think that they have to study hard when they go to college and make a name for themselves in the future, so they will naturally not go to work and study part-time. Even if they already have a work-time policy, they don’t know how to apply.
Of course, Wang Senzhao still doesn't understand that since the past two years, the tuition fee has risen rapidly, and he has already come from Shanghai to student loan policy. But for people like him, he always feels that borrowing money to go to school is equivalent to debt, so he dare not apply. He can only rely on the money he borrows from his family to go to school, and try to save living expenses.
If you want to help Wang Senzhao, you should help him broaden his horizons and let him know that there are other ways besides studying. However, Zhao Shucheng will not force him to work part-time. After all, this part-time job has its pros and cons. Although it can increase income, it may also affect his academic performance because he cannot well balance his spare time and working hours.
After the three of them finished their meal, Zhao Shucheng and Wang Senzhao returned to the dormitory together. Zhao Shucheng said: "Boss, I am going to find a part-time job in the past two days to earn some pocket money. Are you interested?"
Wang Senzhao was stunned when he heard this and said, "I can't do it!"
"You haven't done it yet, how do you know that you can't?"
Wang Senzhao smiled honestly and said, "I am not standard in Mandarin now, so people will definitely not want me like this."
Zhao Shucheng said: "Since you know that your Mandarin is not good now, you should go out to work part-time. In this way, if you come into contact with more people, you can speak more and improve your Mandarin level. Moreover, at the beginning, we will not do those jobs that need to be spoken specifically, and you can still do some work within your ability."
Wang Senzhao hesitated after hearing this and asked, "Third brother, how much does this part-time job make?"
Zhao Shucheng said: "It's hard to say. After all, the salary of different jobs is different. However, even if you work part-time jobs are based on the minimum wage standard in Beijing, you can get about three yuan per hour. If you can get four or five yuan, two hours a day, your daily meal will be paid."
"So much? You can't earn dozens of yuan that day? It's thousands of yuan a month, which is as good as the two-month salary of our family of three in our hometown." Although Wang Senzhao knew that the treatment in Beijing was good, he didn't expect it to be better than he thought.
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "You can earn so much, but you can't do part-time jobs all day. We are the main thing to go to school, just earn some living expenses. Of course, if you are not in a hurry to go home during the holidays, you can do some part-time jobs all day and subsidize your family."
Wang Senzhao nodded after hearing this and said, "Okay, third brother, you can take me to find a part-time job, I want to do it!"
Wang Senzhao thought that his tuition fee this year would be about 5,000, not counting his monthly living expenses, even if he saves money like this, he will definitely cost 6,000 to 7,000 yuan. This money may not be too much pressure for those whose parents have jobs in urban areas, but for families like him who rely entirely on land income in rural areas, it is a considerable expense.
If you can really earn part-time jobs, support yourself, and even save a little money every month, it will reduce the burden on your family. Maybe you may even find a part-time job with a higher salary, and you don’t have to pay your tuition to pay for yourself, so you can support yourself in school.
If you want to say where the part-time jobs are the most money, it may be a place like a bar. After all, the consumption level here is not low, so the boss naturally wants to have a better business and give employees good treatment. After all, I won’t talk about this female employee. Sometimes this male employee has to help stop the customers who are causing trouble, and of course he has to pay enough salary. In fact, Zhao Shucheng was originally unhappy to be a bar waiter, but in order to make Wang Senzhao adapt, he was willing to take Wang Senzhao for a while. After he adapted, he would not have to go there.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! So Zhao Shucheng took Wang Senzhao to Chen Xiaotang's work bar again. After talking to the boss, the boss was willing to give them this opportunity and try it out for a while. However, the boss also had a requirement, that is, he would be on call.
Wang Senzhao was a little hesitant when he heard this. After all, he didn't want to delay class, as this would delay his studies and even fail to graduate.
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Boss, we are all college students, just to earn some living expenses. You think this is OK, we will definitely come tonight, but if we have time, we will come here, and if we have classes, we will have to attend classes. Of course, don't worry, we are not ignorant people. Since we can't go to work all day, we naturally cannot get full salary. You can settle the salary according to our first half of the day, or give us a salary according to our daily working hours."
The boss hesitated for a moment after hearing this, and after silently calculating the calculation in his heart, he finally agreed to Zhao Shucheng's request, but after this, he would give them more than 300 yuan a month. Of course, if they could go to work all day on weekends, they would also be given additional compensation.
Wang Senzhao was very excited when he heard this. After all, the money was as much as the salary of a formal worker in their hometown.
Zhao Shucheng did not think there was a lot of money. After all, he had never seen a monthly income of hundreds of thousands. Now this amount of money can only be considered a small amount of money.
For the next period of time, Zhao Shucheng went to the bar with Wang Senzhao in the afternoon and returned to school with Chen Xiaotang and Wang Senzhao in the evening.
It is not that simple to be a bar waiter, especially since there is no tray in this bar, so the waiter needs to take the wine glass to deliver it to the customer. He can only give a few glasses at a time, which is a bit of a waste of time.
Zhao Shucheng also made suggestions to the boss, and it would be better to purchase a few more pallets, so that it would be easier for the waiter to deliver wine or recycle wine glasses, and it would also increase the workload. Of course, more importantly, it is not easy to have problems when delivering some special drinks. If you ask the employee to take a cup of hot black or green tea to give to the customer, it is not obvious that something goes wrong. It would be fine if the cup fell on the ground and smashed, but if the customer is burned, it would be a big trouble.
The boss was a little careless when he heard Zhao Shucheng's words at first, but when he heard Zhao Shucheng say something behind, he suddenly became serious and felt that what Zhao Shucheng said was quite reasonable. Although he wanted to save money, he also thought that there was less work in the bar and that he could make more money.
Especially when he saw Zhao Shucheng practicing with a tray in the kitchen, he felt that this was a good idea. At least the service posture was much better than the waiter holding a wine glass with his hands just now.
In fact, these are common routines used in the bars later, but in this era, bars were still growing wildly, so many things are not perfect.
After Zhao Shucheng came up with this idea to the bar owner, the bar owner felt that it would be a loss to hire someone this time, so he did not hesitate to give Zhao Shucheng a raise, and his hourly salary changed from five yuan to ten yuan.
Of course, the boss is also very clear that he is not saying that he is doing charity, but just to increase the enthusiasm of employees, make his bar service better, and make the customers more satisfied, so he just bought a horse bone for a thousand dollars.
Lin Jiamo and Fang Hui thought at first that Zhao Shucheng and Chen Xiaotang had something, so Fang Hui didn't pay much attention to Chen Xiaotang in the dormitory. But since we learned that Zhao Shucheng came back with Wang Senzhao and Chen Xiaotang every day, we also knew that Chen Xiaotang and the others were working part-time. Only then did we realize that Zhao Shucheng had misunderstood Zhao Shucheng, so we returned to the previous mode of getting along with Zhao Shucheng.
Zhao Shucheng ignored too much. Anyway, if you are willing to be with him, you will be together, and if you are not willing, you will be separated. Happiness is achieved by yourself. Although Zhao Shucheng's mission is to make them happy, it is not necessary to follow him to be happy.
On that day, Zhao Shucheng still went to the bar to work part-time, and Chen Xiaotang came to Zhao Shucheng to help.
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Student Chen Xiaotang, you can sing and pack up your things. In ancient times, you can be regarded as a good wife and mother who can go to the hall and go to the kitchen."
"Don't praise me, I'm just a big girl who can burn firewood and kill local chickens."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Okay, this is not bad, at least it can make the head of the family have enough food."
As Zhao Shucheng's cell phone ringing, Zhao Shucheng took a look and it was Wu Tingting who called it.
"Hey, why do you think of it and call me? Do you miss me?"
Wu Tingting looked at the people around her nervously and said, "Okay, Chen Xun, you should stop being poor. Something happened to Sun Tao and Yang Qing. Can you come here now?"
"No problem, I'm working part-time now. I'll just talk to the boss and go!"
Chen Xiaotang saw Zhao Shucheng who hung up the phone and asked, "Why, is your girlfriend asking you for trouble?"
"No, I'm having something wrong with me, I'll tell the boss, you can go back with Wang Senzhao later, I'll leave first!"
"Oh..." Seeing Zhao Shucheng leaving in a hurry, Chen Xiaotang reluctantly put down his hand.
When Zhao Shucheng asked for leave from the boss, he took a taxi to the place where Wu Tingting mentioned, and saw Yang Qing sitting there crying constantly, and Wu Tingting comforted her.
Sun Tao is here too, but he just stood aside with his back to Yang Qing and the others. Those who don’t know thought it was Yang Qing doing something that was sorry to Sun Tao.
Old Tang also stood there, but looked helpless.
Zhao Shucheng asked curiously: "No, what's going on?"
Wu Tingting looked surprised when she saw Zhao Shucheng, but she quickly suppressed her inner excitement and briefly told Zhao Shucheng about the matter.
In fact, the matter is very simple, that is, Yang Qing has reached the age of marriage, because she has not been admitted to university and went to vocational high school. So after her family graduated, she arranged a blind date for her, preparing to get a marriage certificate with someone after she reached the legal age of marriage.
But Yang Qing and Sun Tao have been together for several years, so naturally they don’t want to separate from Sun Tao, but they can’t resist the family, so they can only sit here and cry.
Zhao Shucheng shook his head helplessly when he heard this. In fact, such a good breakup is too common. It’s just that Yang Qing’s parents look down on Sun Tao and think that Sun Tao’s job is not very good now and his family is not in good condition, so he wanted to find a better condition for Yang Qing, but he didn’t even consider whether Yang Qing liked the other party.
Zhao Shucheng couldn't tell anything right or wrong about such a thing. After all, Yang Qing's parents were considering the problem from the perspective of their daughter, thinking that their daughter should have a better future, rather than following Sun Tao like this. Of course, for Yang Qing and Sun Tao, this is a breakup and breaking up the two people who love each other.
