Miler, who has a system for giving up

Chapter 4 A Day Busy with Interviews

Full of anticipation, I walked downstairs with light steps, a smile on my face, and excitedly arrived at the bike shed, where I rode my beloved little electric bike.

This little electric scooter will never get stuck in traffic, and it's fast, environmentally friendly, and saves money—it's so convenient!

I eagerly turned on my phone's navigation and found the furthest route—the data analyst's computer company, a full 8 kilometers away.

I fully geared myself up with a helmet, knee pads, and other equipment, and then happily set off towards my destination.

I couldn't help but feel secretly relieved: "Luckily, I majored in computer science and design in college, otherwise this data analyst job would have been very difficult!"

As for the communication skills required by the other party, I am naturally full of confidence, after all, I once served as the president of a school club and have good teamwork spirit and communication skills.

Moreover, this job offers the highest salary among the three, and the benefits are quite good. I just don't know if I can successfully land it.

Along the way, the beautiful scenery, the cheerful songs of birds, and the gentle breeze on my face made me feel refreshed and relaxed.

However, such beautiful scenery did not alleviate the tension in my heart.

Because in that world, I've gotten used to working busy every day, even though the job sometimes feels monotonous and boring, it's all part of my life.

Now, I've arrived in this unfamiliar world, and I not only need to readjust to the environment, but also find a suitable job to make a living.

Thinking about all this, I couldn't help but feel a little anxious and uneasy. But isn't this tension understandable?

After all, everyone is afraid of the unknown.

After a half-hour ride, we finally arrived at our destination—a modern office building.

I parked my car, took out my phone, and dialed the number of the person in charge of recruitment to ask for the detailed address and to confirm whether there were any vacancies.

I breathed a sigh of relief when I learned they were still hiring. Then I took the elevator to the sixteenth floor.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I immediately noticed a man in a suit standing at the door, seemingly waiting for someone.

Because facial recognition is required to enter the company, I couldn't just go in directly.

Just as I was hesitating whether to ask, the man came over and asked me if I was the job applicant who had just called.

I nodded to indicate that I was there for an interview.

They followed the man into a spacious and bright reception room, which was exquisitely decorated.

The man told me that the probationary period was three months, and if I performed well, I could become a full-time employee after three months.

Hearing this news, I felt a little relieved, but I also knew that many challenges awaited me in the future.

After my conversation with the head of the human resources department, I thanked him and said goodbye.

Then, as I pondered my interview experience, I slowly walked out of the meeting room.

Next, I took the elevator downstairs, and when I got downstairs, I saw the electric scooter parked there.

I took out my phone, opened the map navigation, and entered my destination—an advertising company for a graphic designer.

I discovered that this advertising company was only three kilometers away from here, and I thought to myself, "Perfect, I can go and take a look, compare the two companies, and see which one is more suitable for me."

After all, choosing a job you enjoy is very important; otherwise, working mindlessly every day will leave you feeling exhausted.

So I decided to go to the advertising company to find out more.

Before setting off, I called the advertising company's recruitment hotline to inquire whether they were still hiring.

They replied that they still needed more people and asked me to come over for an interview.

After receiving a positive reply, I happily continued riding my electric scooter to the advertising company.

Thinking back to my journey to the computer company for the interview, I was so preoccupied that I forgot to call ahead to ask if they were still hiring.

If I hadn't called in time, I might have made a wasted trip, wasting time and energy.

Therefore, I learned from this experience and prepared in advance to avoid unnecessary trouble.

About ten minutes later, I arrived at the entrance of the advertising company. As soon as I stepped inside, I could clearly feel the busy atmosphere.

Everyone was focused on their work, their eyes glued to the computer screen, their fingers clicking the mouse incessantly, the keyboard making crisp tapping sounds, while the images on the computer screen kept changing.

I looked up at the sign and searched all the way until I finally arrived at the office door I was looking for.

The office door was closed, so I knocked gently.

"Please come in!" a man's voice came from inside.

Pushing open the door and walking in, I found a middle-aged man sitting in the office. He looked very kind and amiable.

After some self-introductions, I learned that this uncle was actually the boss!

After a brief conversation with the boss, I gained a preliminary understanding of the workload and requirements he described.

Overall, these conditions seem acceptable.

However, I was somewhat surprised that the trial period was only three weeks long.

Completing the task in such a short time may be difficult, but I think I should be able to handle it.

After ending the conversation and saying goodbye to my boss, I walked out of the office, sat on my electric scooter, and fell into deep thought.

Should we check out a security company?

After all, security work seems to only require physical action and not much brainpower, which might be more suitable for me.

Okay, I'll call and ask first.

Fortunately, I made the call in advance because they told me they had just filled their positions.

If I hadn't called to confirm beforehand, I would have made a wasted trip.

Let's go home then. I checked the time on my phone and it was already 11 o'clock!

It's so late... I thought to myself. But it's okay, it's only about 4 kilometers to go back via that shortcut, and I can get home in 20 minutes. Maybe I can even make it in time for dinner.

Thinking of this, I quickened my pace to get home. On the way, I rode my bike, humming a little tune, feeling exceptionally relaxed.

Just then, the phone rang. I quickly stopped the car, took out my phone, and saw that it was my dad calling.

I answered the phone: "Hello, Dad, what's wrong?"

Dad said on the other end of the phone, "Lele, when are you coming back? It's almost 11:30."

I replied with a smile, "Dad, I'll be there soon. You guys eat first, just leave me some food. I'm going to ride my bike now, I'll hang up now."

After saying that, I hung up the phone and continued riding home.

About ten minutes later, I finally got back to my apartment complex. I parked my electric scooter and quickly walked into the elevator.

After I changed my shoes and walked into the house, I turned to look at the dining table and found that only my father was sitting there waiting for me.

I know that the rest of the family members have probably finished eating and gone back to their rooms for a nap.

When he saw me come back, Dad smiled and said to me, "You're back? Go wash your hands and get ready for dinner."

I nodded, went to the bathroom to wash my hands, then picked up my rice bowl, sat down on the stool, and began to eat.

When Dad saw that I started eating, he got up and went back to his bedroom. Mom came out of her bedroom and sat down opposite me.

I wolfed down the last bite of my meal, drank a few sips of tea, then put down my chopsticks, leaned back in my chair, and let out a satisfied burp.

At this moment, Mom spoke up.

"How many jobs did you apply to this morning? Did you get any offers?" the mother asked gently, her eyes full of concern.

"I applied to two companies, one an advertising company and the other a computer company, and they both wanted me to work there."

One offers a three-month trial period, while the other offers a three-week trial period. However, the three-month trial period is located further away, while the three-week trial period is closer.

Moreover, in terms of work difficulty, the three-week period is more challenging.

"So, I need to think about it carefully before making a decision," I replied earnestly.

The mother smiled and said, "Okay, as long as you have a job, it's better than staying idle at home. Just choose according to your own wishes." After saying that, she turned and went into the bedroom.

After cleaning up the dishes and washing them, I returned to my room.

Gently draw the curtains, change into comfortable pajamas, then lie on the soft bed, close your eyes, and prepare to rest for a while.

The afternoon sun shone through the curtains onto me, bringing a touch of laziness and warmth.

Gradually, I drifted into a sweet dream.

I slept very soundly, without any dreams to disturb me. When I woke up again, I heard the crisp sound of an alarm clock.

I groggily opened my eyes, glanced at my phone screen, and realized it was only one o'clock in the afternoon.

Turns out, I only slept for less than half an hour! I turned off the alarm, stretched, and felt my body fully relaxed.

A sound of footsteps came from downstairs, and the sound gradually faded into the distance. It sounded like Yueyue and Xingxing were going downstairs to school.

As the door closed, the room fell silent once more.

I suddenly felt drowsy, perhaps because my body was exhausted, and my soul felt incredibly heavy as well. So, I fell into a deep sleep once again.

When I woke up again, I found that it was almost 7:30 p.m.

I was surprised to find that I had slept for so long, and I hadn't even heard the alarm I had set.

I rubbed my sleepy eyes and sat up, my gaze falling on the system panel in front of me.

To my surprise, my two hundred "spare money" suddenly turned into two thousand! What happened? Was it just because I took a nap?

I shouted impatiently, "System, come out and explain what's going on!"

The system quickly responded: "Master, I'm here. Since you slept from 1 PM to 7 PM, this super-lazy behavior has automatically earned you 700 Lazy Coins."

In addition, there's 1100 as a reward for completing the task. Congratulations on successfully "idling" all afternoon! You now have three raffle tickets, which you can use for three raffles!

2000 coins! That's enough to buy peaches!

"System purchase of 1 peach"

"Congratulations, you have successfully purchased one peach! You can retrieve it from your spatial pocket or store it."

After we finish eating, let's go for a walk to digest our food, and then come back and eat the peaches.
