My Terrible Life in Those Years

I was pushed onto the bus by a crowd, and then I was tormented like a sardine in the crowd. When we arrived at the stop, I was pushed off the bus from the crowd again.

I was already sweating profusely before I even started working.

If I weren't physically fit, I probably would have broken my ribs or at least been hurt during those few bumps when getting on and off the bus, since I wasn't prepared.

Holding a business card in one hand and a map of Huacheng in the other, he kept asking passersby and people at newsstands for directions, and it took him a long time to finally find the Hesheng Building.

After getting off the elevator, I saw a big GG sign standing there: GG Glorious.

I was shocked. Yesterday I was just bragging to Little Ponytail about a big company, and I really didn't expect it to actually be that big.

The entire floor belongs to this company.

I carefully checked the business card, confirming it several times. Yes, this is the place.

Inside the transparent glass doors, a large reception desk was occupied by several pretty girls in uniforms. The company's full name, Huacheng Huihuang GG Co., Ltd., was written on the backdrop. Beyond that, the view was blocked by the background wall.

At this moment, I saw the clock on the background wall; it was already past 9:10. The main door was closed, and no employees were coming in or out.

I pushed the door, but it wouldn't open; there must be an access control system. Then I looked left and right, and there was a doorbell by the wall. I rang it, and a pretty girl came to open the door.

"Who are you looking for?" The girl was very polite, but she still didn't let me in. She just asked me through the slightly ajar door.

"I'm here to start my job! My name is Jiang Ning," I said to her with a smile.

I glanced at her name tag, which read "Administrator Willow Eyebrows." Indeed, she had beautiful willow-leaf eyebrows, which matched her name perfectly.

Liu Mei frowned, displeased with my staring at her chest.

"Where's the offer letter? Let me see which department it's from." She held out her small hand.

I was completely confused: "What offer letter?"

Shu, a working woman, only gave herself a business card; there was no offer letter.

Liu Mei's face immediately turned serious.

"You dare to say you're coming to work without an offer letter?"

I feel like I've been completely wronged.

"I was actually recruited by your company's colleague at the job market yesterday, and they told me to come to work today!"

Liu Mei suddenly smiled and said, "Hey handsome, you look respectable enough, are you in the credit card business or insurance? Why do you always use this 'job application' trick to get in? Trying to get into our company to hand out brochures and recruit people? Don't you even know what kind of door this is!"

What door? Isn't it just a big glass door?

With a snap, the door lock slammed shut!

I was afraid she wouldn't believe me, so I was about to take out Aunt Shu's business card from my pocket to show her when she turned around and went back to the front desk of the main office.

Then, from outside the glass door, I could see her whispering with two other colleagues that she had just driven away another handsome guy who tried to trick her into joining their company.

The two of them looked over at about the same time, and from their lip movements, I could tell they were exclaiming: Wow, she's really pretty!

But there's no way to get in!

I was slightly surprised by their reaction, just for a moment. Who am I? How could I be stumped by a few girls? How could they mistake me for a bad guy?

Then ring the doorbell!

When the three girls heard the bell, Liu Mei looked disgusted and had no intention of coming over again.

The other two girls, seeing me pressing the button, came over out of curiosity and pressed the open button inside, opening the door a crack.

"Handsome? Just say you're selling insurance or credit cards. Just say it, maybe we'll let you in since you're somewhat good-looking..."

Before they could finish speaking, I held up my business card and said, "I really am here to start work. Manager Shu asked me to come in today!"

The two girls looked at Aunt Shu's business card with surprise and flipped it over.

"Hey, it really is President Shu's business card!"

"Yes, could it really be that General Manager Shu invited them to join the company?"

"Sister Liu Mei, come and take another look. He really does have President Shu's business card!"

I also took a look at their nameplates; both were administrative assistants, one named Zhou Tong and the other Yi Hongye.

I was completely stunned. An administrative assistant? This must be a big company.

I've never really understood why the name tag has to be clipped to the chest. Can't it be placed on the collar?

If I want to look at the nameplate, do I have to stare at that sensitive area? If I look at it for a little longer, I'll probably get labeled a pervert, right?

Can't it be worn at the neckline?

Zhou Tong and Yi Hongye didn't seem to care at all that I was staring at them; they even deliberately straightened up slightly, as if to make it easier for me to see them more clearly.

Am I the kind of person who doesn't appreciate kindness? Of course not.

Liu Mei's face was not gloomy. She walked over from behind the stage again. I noticed that she was wearing high heels, black stockings, a business skirt, a little black suit, and a white shirt with a large white collar underneath. She was dressed the same as the girl who was with Aunt Shu yesterday.

Is this what they call a white-collar worker?

It really is quite beautiful!

She snatched the business card, carefully examined its contents, and her expression changed slightly.

"It really is President Shu's business card!"

"Yeah, Sister Liu, he doesn't seem like a conman! What if he really was sent by President Shu? If we don't let him in, she'll give us a piece of her mind!"

When Zhou Tong mentioned Aunt Shu, he also looked scared.

She's notorious, isn't she? Aunt Shu!

It seems she treats others the same way, not just herself?

"Why didn't you get an offer letter?" she asked, still looking wary.

"She didn't give it to me. She was in a hurry, made a phone call, tossed me her business card, and left, telling me to come in today to start work!"

That's all true. Besides, why don't you just ask Aunt Shu and you'll know everything? Why bother arguing with me here?

Zhou Tong and Yi Hongye then realized that I only had a business card and no job offer letter.

A hint of hesitation began to appear on his face.

"Do you guys remember? There was this one time when a guy came upstairs with Mr. Liu's business card, saying Mr. Liu had sent him. I let him in, but later I found out he was there to sell credit cards. I got a good scolding from Mr. Liu and had 500 yuan deducted from my performance bonus!"

Liu Mei looked lingering fear when she brought up the matter.

It seems that General Manager Liu is quite ruthless. Of course, it's probably because the deductions are too severe, making her hesitant.

"Ladies, how about this, you call Manager Shu and verify it, then everything will be clear, right?"

The three beauties looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

"We wouldn't dare call Ms. Shu with that temper of hers. What if it's not true? We'd probably lose our jobs!"

It seems that Aunt Shu has a much bigger temper than General Manager Liu!

I was getting anxious. Ten minutes had passed, and I still couldn't get in. I was being blocked at the door by three beautiful women. I was so embarrassed.

Just as I was thinking of other ideas, three beautiful women stood ramrod straight, quickly opened the door, and called out, "Good morning, Mr. Shu!"

I turned around, and there really was Aunt Shu.

Her face was still delicate, with light makeup, and she was wearing high heels today.

She was carrying a briefcase with an English brand name that I couldn't understand as she stepped in.

Good morning, Manager Shu.

She paused for a moment, guessing that no one in the company called her "Manager," they all called her "President Shu."

After looking at me closely, it seemed that she had just remembered what happened yesterday.

Annoyed, she said to Liu Mei, "Process his onboarding paperwork and place him in Sales Department One as a sales assistant. Tell him to fill out the detailed forms. You three, memorize his information. He owes me 1,720 yuan; be careful he doesn't try to renege on it!"

The three little beauties stared at me with their mouths agape, completely shocked!
