Chapter 185 Paging Station
Peng Xiaowei sat there with a gloomy face, his thoughts drifting back to the time when he was in England and saw Chen Feng and Xu Xue standing side by side.
He turned around and said to the woman next to him, "Do you know what the biggest sin in a person's life is?"
The woman was stunned, blinked and asked, "What?"
"Greed," Peng Xiaowei gritted his teeth. "Greed is man's original sin. What I hate most is those who are never satisfied. They have one thing in their hands, but their eyes are still fixed on another. People like them deserve to have nothing in their lives!"
The woman looked at Peng Xiaowei, who looked like he wanted to bite someone, and felt terrified. "Are you... talking about me?"
"Just take it as me talking about you." Peng Xiaowei snorted coldly and stood up suddenly. "I'm leaving. Don't expect me to come back this week."
After saying that, he strode away.
The woman waited until his back disappeared before slowly approaching the window, her eyes falling on Chen Feng and Ning Yao downstairs. She reached out and rang the service bell, and a moment later, a female supervisor walked in.
"Go, send a fruit plate to the table below. Make sure it's good," the woman ordered. "Try to find out their names."
"Okay, manager." The female supervisor responded and turned to leave.
After going downstairs, the female supervisor came to Chen Feng and Xu Xue's table with an exquisite fruit plate and said with a smile, "Hello, our store is having an event. You only need to donate one dollar to get a large fruit plate like this. This dollar will be used to build a Hope Primary School. Would you like to participate?"
Ning Yao's eyes lit up when he heard this.
This is a great thing! You can do charity and get a fruit plate at the same time, so why not?
She looked at Chen Feng, and Chen Feng nodded.
So Ning Yao readily agreed, and the female supervisor immediately took out a card and handed it to her for signature confirmation.
Ning Yao took the pen and left his name on the card without any hesitation.
The female supervisor put away the card, thanked her with a smile and left.
A moment later, the female manager on the second floor saw the card handed over by the female supervisor. It read: "Ning Yao."
When the news that Ninghai University's paging station was recruiting operators came out, the entire campus was in an uproar.
Twenty dollars for six hours is a real temptation for students.
You know, you may not be able to earn that much by working outside for a month.
Although this job is not available every day, only twice a week, it adds up to 40 yuan a week. After a few months, I can earn enough money to pay for my tuition.
However, this position also has its requirements. First, the applicant must be a girl, and second, she must have a sweet voice and be approachable.
When the news came out, almost all the girls in the school were moved.
As for appearance, the operator doesn’t show his face, so he relies on his voice.
Many girls lack confidence in their looks, but are incredibly confident in their voices. A pretty face and plump breasts are no use, because when I have a brilliant voice, no one can match it.
There was such an enthusiastic response to the registration that it was almost a scramble to get in.
That day, Wan Juan, Zhao Li, and Hu Min also set out on their journey to apply for jobs at the school radio station.
On the way, the three of them were very nervous and uneasy.
"The competition is too fierce this time. Do we have a chance?" Zhao Li was worried.
"Let's give it a try. I heard that the only girl in Class 2 of the Mining Department was admitted." Wan Juan said.
"Ah?" Zhao Li exclaimed.
"Have you seen it? The girl is as black as charcoal, but her voice on the phone is as sweet as sugar. This is what the old saying means, when a door closes, a window opens," said Wan Juan.
"Yeah, that girl's name is Bao Ting. She's very successful now," Hu Min interrupted. "She earns more than others because she has a sweet voice and loves to work overtime."
"Twenty yuan for six hours, I'm willing to work overtime, even sleeping next to the phone!" Wan Juan joked.
Zhao Li sighed. "I hope I'm chosen. My brother is going to work in a factory soon, and my family needs to prepare recruitment fees for him. I haven't even figured out how to pay for my tuition for next semester."
Hu Min didn't say anything, her heart was heavy.
My family has been under great financial pressure recently. My parents both work in state-owned enterprises, but the business performance is not good. After the spring, they only received less than one month's salary.
Life was tight, and she hoped to earn some extra money to help share the burden at home.
The three of them chatted all the way and before they knew it, they arrived at the radio station.
Looking at the long queue in front of them, they took a deep breath, gave each other an encouraging look, took a step forward, and joined the competition.
The three people waited in line for nearly two hours, their legs numb from standing, before it was finally their turn for the interview.
When I opened the door, I saw two interviewers sitting inside. One was Zhou Qun, a senior from the Ninghai University Student Union who was about to graduate, and the other was Zheng Wei, a senior from the school radio station who was also the person in charge of this work-study program.
Senior Sister Zhou Qun looks capable and competent. I heard that she gave up the assigned job and the state-owned factory arranged by her family, and resolutely joined the Ninghai paging station.
Senior Sister Zheng Wei seems much gentler and has a very nice voice. Not only does she work part-time at the paging station, she is also responsible for the training of new operators.
Wan Juan, Zhao Li, and Hu Min stepped forward one by one and read a short, ten-sentence script as instructed. Afterward, the two senior sisters lowered their heads, scribbled a few words on paper, and then said calmly, "Go back and wait for notification."
As they walked out of the building, frustration was written all over the faces of the three men.
Wan Juan sighed, "Our hope is slim. How about I try the back door?"
Zhao Li frowned. "Through the backdoor? How? We don't have much of a relationship with these two sisters. It's not that easy to find connections now."
Hu Min suddenly said, "Have you heard why the paging operator is assigned to work-study at our school? Because the pagers are manufactured in our school-run factory, and it's made by the computer department. Maybe the people there are more familiar with the paging station."
Wan Juan and Zhao Li were both stunned when they heard this: "Computer science major?"
Zhao Li reacted quickly and nudged Wan Juan: "Isn't your Xie Hong from the mathematics department? Isn't the computer science major also from the mathematics department?"
Wan Juan slapped her forehead and said, "Yeah, how could I have forgotten about him? But don't just blame me. Isn't Chen Feng, the one you talk about every day, a computer science major in the mathematics department? Why don't you ask him?"
At this moment, the three people's eyes turned to Hu Min.
Hu Min scratched his head and smiled, "Chen Feng and I are from the same hometown, but I really don't think about this matter in that way. I haven't seen him since we had dinner together last time."
Zhao Li's face turned slightly red as she recalled the last time she had forced Chen Feng's hand in the video room outside the school.
At this moment, the three of them looked at each other and suddenly laughed.
"Oh my god, how come we haven't noticed this network before?"
Wan Juan waved her hand and said, "Let's go to the Mathematics Department and ask them now!"
