The Rise of the Youth in the War of Resistance

In the prosperous Dragon Country, science and technology are developing rapidly. People are yearning for high-paying technical jobs, while jobs like delivering food, which are hard and low-paid, are often looked down upon.

However, for Zhao Shao, this job became a life-saving straw in his most difficult time.

Zhao Shao, a college graduate majoring in writing, has never been able to find a satisfactory job in this highly competitive society.

Failure in interviews again and again completely eroded the little self-confidence he had accumulated with great difficulty.

In desperation, he pinned his hopes on the part-time job he had in college - delivering takeout.

It was a sunny morning, and Zhao Shao walked towards the "Have You Eaten" takeaway shop with a nervous mood.

Along the way, his heart was like fifteen buckets of water being drawn - up and down.

He thought this interview would probably be as difficult as the previous one.

After all, I have neither rich work experience nor particularly outstanding skills.

Thinking of this, his steps became heavier.

When he stepped into the takeaway shop and saw Manager Xiong, his heart couldn't help but tighten.

Manager Xiong is a big and strong man with a serious expression. His bright eyes under his thick eyebrows seem to be able to see through everything. His broad shoulders and strong arms make people feel that he is full of strength.

This put Zhao Shao under tremendous pressure.

However, to his surprise, Manager Xiong only asked three questions during the interview:

"First of all, do you have an ID?

Second, do you have a mobile phone?

Third, are there any electric bikes?

Zhao Shao quickly answered the first two questions, but when it came to the battery car, he was at a loss and whispered:

"I only have the first two. I don't have an electric bike."

When Manager Xiong heard this, he frowned, and his thick eyebrows were tightly twisted together, forming a deep "Chuan" character.

Zhao Shao thought to himself: "It's not good.

Oh no, it looks like this job is going to fail."

He quietly reached for his backpack, ready to leave.

The moment he turned around, the situation suddenly changed.

Manager Xiong, who had frowned just now, now had a smile on his face. That smile was like sunshine piercing through the dark clouds. He said:

"Wait, although you don't have an electric scooter, you can temporarily rent one from the store."

Zhao Shao couldn't believe his ears. He didn't expect that he would be hired. He said quickly:

"Thank you, Manager. I will do my best!"

Manager Xiong stood up and took Zhao Shao's hand. His big hand was warm and powerful. He said:

"What's the point of being a store manager? Just call me Store Manager Bear."

In this way, Zhao Shao, who was still interviewing in the morning, officially started his delivery career at noon.

Zhao Shao rode the slightly worn-out electric bike in the store. The paint on the handlebars had peeled off a lot and the seat was a little worn. It seemed that it had experienced many ups and downs.

And so, he started his first delivery.

He looked at the address on his phone and muttered:

"Room 3, Building 502, Xingfu Community. This place shouldn't be hard to find."

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the community, he was stopped by the security guard.

The security guard was a burly man with a serious face. He shouted loudly:

"What are you doing?"

Zhao Shao quickly replied:

"Brother, I'm a food delivery guy. This order is almost overdue. Could you please give me some favors?"

The security guard waved his hand impatiently, his sturdy arm arcing in the air:

"Register, hurry up!"

Zhao Shao hurriedly finished registering and rushed to Building 3 like a flash.

After finally reaching Room 502, Zhao Shao knocked on the door and said:

"Hello, your takeaway has arrived."

The door opened and an old lady poked her head out. Her hair was a little messy and she still had a lingering anger on her face. She complained:

"Why are you so slow? I've been waiting for ages!"

Zhao Shao's face was full of apology, and beads of sweat slid down his cheeks.

"Sorry, Auntie, the road is a bit congested."

The aunt rolled her eyes at him, a look that seemed to freeze anyone:

"Hmph, be quicker next time!"

Zhao Shao nodded repeatedly:

"Of course, of course. Enjoy your meal."

After delivering this order, Zhao Shao rushed to the next location without stopping.

At this time, the phone rang. It was Manager Xiong calling:

"Zhao Shao, how are you doing?"

Zhao Shao gasped and said:

"Manager Xiong, I'm busy delivering it. It's okay."

Manager Xiong warned: "Be careful and don't worry."

Zhao Shao responded, "I see. Thank you, Manager."

……

In the afternoon, the sun became increasingly scorching, like a huge fireball hanging in the sky, baking the earth scorching hot.

Zhao Shao's clothes were soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to his back. The sweat kept flowing down his forehead, blinding his eyes.

He came to the door of a shopping mall and picked up a cold drink to take away.

Just as he was about to leave, a little girl came running over, pulled his clothes and said:

"Big brother, can you help me tie this balloon to the handlebars?"

The little girl had two pigtails, big eyes like two black gems, and an innocent smile on her face.

Zhao Shao smiled and agreed: "Okay, little friend."

After tying the balloon, the little girl said sweetly:

"Thank you, big brother."

Zhao Shao felt warm in his heart and continued on his way.

When we arrived at the destination, a young man took the cold drink and said:

"Good work, buddy."

The young man was wearing a stylish T-shirt and jeans, his hair was neatly combed and he had a sunny smile on his face.

Zhao Shao smiled and said, "It's not hard, I wish you a good day."

On this day, Zhao Shao experienced various situations.

There are complaints from customers, but also understanding and gratitude from others.

In the evening, it suddenly started raining.

Raindrops as big as beans fell down with a crackling sound, instantly wetting the ground.

Zhao Shao didn't bring a raincoat, so he had to walk in the rain.

The rain blurred his vision and he had to slow down.

At this moment, his cell phone rang again, and it was an anxious voice:

"Why hasn't my takeaway arrived yet?"

Zhao Shao explained:

"Sorry, it's raining and the road is difficult to walk on. We'll be there soon."

The customer said angrily:

"If you don't come here, I will give you a bad review!"

Zhao Shao's heart tightened and he quickened his pace.

Finally arriving at the customer's house, Zhao Shao was soaked all over, his hair stuck to his scalp, and rain kept running down his cheeks.

He apologized profusely:

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

The customer saw his expression and softened his tone:

"Forget it, I'll be more careful next time."

Zhao Shao said gratefully, "Thank you for your understanding."

At night, Zhao Shao dragged his tired body back to the rental house.

The rental house was small and simple, with only a single bed and a shabby wardrobe.

He collapsed on the bed, looking at the mottled ceiling, thinking about the day's experiences, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He remembered the security guard's impatience at noon, the aunt's complaints, the little girl's cuteness, the young man's friendliness, and the anxious customer in the evening.

This day was both bitter and sweet.

He said to himself, "This job is really not easy, but I can't give up. I must persevere."

At this moment, a text message came on my phone:

"Zhao Shao, you did a great job today, keep it up!

Your income for today is fifty yuan, which has been deposited into your account."

It was sent by Manager Xiong.

Zhao Shao looked at the text message and a relieved smile appeared on his face.

Although the fifty yuan is not much, it is the result of his hard work for a day and is also a recognition of his efforts.

He felt a warm current surge in his heart, as if all the fatigue of the day had dissipated a lot.

He replied: "Thank you, Manager Xiong. I will work harder!"

Zhao Shao lay on the bed, looking forward to the future.

He knew that as long as he persisted, his future would definitely get better and better.

With this belief, he gradually fell asleep. In his dream, he was riding an electric scooter, speeding towards a better life on a sunny road.
