When I say I will support you, I am not just saying it. It’s a pity that in Jing Qiu’s eyes, Jing Ling is just a student who is about to take the college entrance examination. He doesn’t even know where his future lies, so how can he support her? But she was already very satisfied that he had this intention.
"Okay, you support me!" she said with a smile.
Jing Ling could naturally tell that she was just being perfunctory, but he didn't explain. Some things, no matter how much or how well you say them, are not as good as actual actions.
He knows a lot of things, so many that he himself can't even remember how many exactly. In order to complete the tasks issued by the system, he has dabbled in almost all of the 360 trades. He doesn't dare to boast that he is proficient in everything, but at least he can reach a proficient level on average. But everything should be reasonable. Even for the most talented person, there are some things that need to be learned through contact and study. It is a bit unreasonable that such things suddenly appear in such a student who comes from a poor family and whose life experience is as pure as a blank sheet of paper. Although not everyone will delve into it, what if?
Jing Ling has many ways to make money, but the major premise is to leave this poor and backward place. However, he cannot leave this place for the time being because he will take the college entrance examination in a few days. Although he himself does not care much about going to college, an undergraduate degree and some college life experience can be said to be a very good excuse that can explain many things that were originally unreasonable. Another thing is that Jing Qiu worked hard to support the original owner's studies, hoping that he could be admitted to a good university.
This is the same mentality as many parents today. They know that college students after the expansion of enrollment cannot be compared with those in the past, and perhaps their salary after graduation will be the same as that of migrant workers or even less. However, after so many years, taking college entrance exams has become an obsession. They hope their sons will become successful. For them, a college admission letter is like an affirmation of their years of hard work. While satisfying, it is also a capital that they can show off for a lifetime.
So Jing Ling felt that it was necessary to take the college entrance examination seriously. The cultural background of this world is basically the same as the world he lives in, but it is a few years behind in time and is still in the era of high school students majoring in liberal arts and science. The original owner studied science and had pretty good grades. If he performed normally, he would have no problem getting into a second-tier university. Don't underestimate this second-tier university. The Qingshan Middle School where the original owner studied has not had a single student who reached the first-tier score line for three consecutive years. And there are only a few students who reach the second-tier score line each year, and it is rare for the number to exceed single digits.
"Sister, which university do you think is good?" Jing Ling asked.
Jing Qiu blurted out without thinking, "Of course it's Shuimu University and Didu University. These are the best universities in the country. Unfortunately, these two schools only have a dozen enrollment quotas in Yanzhou every year, and the competition is too fierce. I asked your teacher, and he said that you have very good grades, and it's basically no problem to get into a second-tier university if you perform normally. Otherwise, Xiaoling, you can apply to Yanzhou Normal University. It's close to home, and it's also good to be a teacher after graduation. There are winter and summer vacations every year!"
"Being a teacher..." Jing Ling sighed, and before he could finish the rest of his words, Jing Qiu continued, "I was just talking casually. Your teacher told me that choosing a major is a lifelong decision. You must think carefully before choosing. Choose whatever you like. I support you!"
Jing Ling nodded, "Okay!"
Now that you’ve said that, it’s Mizuki University and Teito University. As for who to choose, it depends on my mood when the time comes. This is not because Jing Ling is conceited. Although the top universities in the country only recruit a few dozen students in a province, there are hundreds of thousands of candidates. Only those at the top of the pyramid have the right to choose, but it is not a big deal for Jing Ling.
If he was just an ordinary person, it might be difficult for him to go back and take the college entrance examination after so many years, but he is not. From the very beginning, he was a child of destiny. After obtaining the system, he used the points he obtained after completing tasks in various worlds to exchange for many things, such as photographic memory and precise calculations, etc. In addition, things involving formulas and calculations have the same principles in many worlds. It is actually a very simple thing for him to get a sufficiently impressive score.
Time flies, and the day of college entrance examination is here in a blink of an eye. As his home was far from the examination venue, Jing Qiu booked a room in a hotel in the county one day in advance. He got up early the next day and borrowed the kitchen of a nearby restaurant to fry a dough stick and two eggs for Jing Ling as breakfast. After Jing Ling finished eating, he followed him to the examination venue.
Jing Ling originally wanted Jing Qiu to go back to the hotel and wait for him, because the weather was very good today, with a clear sky and no clouds. It was foreseeable that the sun would scorch the earth after rising high in the sky. A cordon was set up far away in front of the school gate. Although there were green trees planted on the roadside, they could not withstand so many people. Jing Qiu insisted on not leaving. She felt that other candidates were accompanied by their parents, so she wanted to wait here too. There was no other way, Jing Ling had to remind her to remember to hold an umbrella and go to the nearby shop to buy water if she was thirsty, so that he could finish the exam soon.
Jing Qiu readily agreed and watched Jing Ling enter the examination room.
The exams of Chinese, mathematics, English and comprehensive science were completed in two days. During the first exam, Jing Ling finished the test paper very quickly, handed it in and left the examination room ahead of time. When he came out, he was surrounded by a group of parents at the door and pointed at him. Some of them said that it was no use having good looks, and that he was obviously there to take the exam with others. It was better to check it a few more times and persist until the end of the exam. He originally did this because he was worried that Jing Qiu would be too tired from waiting, but it ended up making her even more worried. Well, after comforting the man, he waited obediently for the next three exams and left the examination room with everyone else.
Jing Qiu was more anxious to know the results than Jing Ling himself, but there was nothing he could do. After the college entrance examination, it would take about half a month for the results to come out according to convention. She had consulted Jing Ling's teacher about college tuition before. According to the general standards of a second-tier university, she would not have much money left after paying his tuition for one year. However, there were many necessities to buy in the first year, as well as living expenses, so the money was not enough.
So the current priority is to make money.
As for how to make money? I can only go back to work. Although the monthly salary is only 1,500 yuan, there are still about two months before Jing Ling starts school. This way I can earn an extra 3,000 yuan, which will give me a little more money on hand, so I can buy Jing Ling two sets of clothes.
Jing Qiu told Jing Ling that she wanted to go back to work. He didn't object, but he had a small request, which was to let her rest for two more days before going. Jing Qiu was naturally very happy that her younger brother cared about her. Two days was not a big deal, and she was really tired, so she agreed to his request.
The next morning, after Jing Ling and Jing Qiu had breakfast together, Jing Ling suddenly said to her, "Sister, you should have a good rest at home. I'm going to town to meet up with my classmates and may not be back tonight."
Hearing him say this, Jing Qiu was stunned for a moment, but soon realized that he had his own circle of classmates, and it was normal for everyone to go out and relax after the exam. She nodded to show her understanding, "Go ahead, be careful on the road. By the way, do you have any money on you? I'll get you some money. You can't always let others pay when you go out together. You have to treat everyone to something to eat." As she spoke, she was about to get up and go into the house to get money, but was stopped by Jing Ling, "Sister, no need, I still have some."
"Well, be careful on the road!"
"Um."
Jing Ling left home, walked along the dirt road for a few minutes to the main road, called a motorcycle to go to the town, took the rural bus from the town to the county, and then took a bus to the city. After all this trouble, it was already afternoon when we arrived in the city. He was wearing a pair of cheap sunglasses that he bought from a small store in town for 5 dollars, and was walking in the busy area while thinking about how to make money. First of all, he doesn't need to consider jobs that pay a month's salary. He needs to earn money immediately, so the only option left is part-time job, and only this kind of job pays more on a daily basis. But what part-time job should I do? Handing out flyers? Be a tutor? Forget it, the rate of return is too low.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, he raised his head and glanced around casually, and then his eyes fell on the sign of the business in front of him.
That's a bar. Unlike ordinary businesses that are open during the day and closed at night, bars do business at night. At a time when most people are getting ready to go to bed, the nightlife is just beginning. Yuncheng is a second-tier city located inland with a not very developed economy, but the overall consumption level is considerable. The income in places like bars is relatively high, and the most important thing is that daily settlement can be negotiated.
That's it.
The bar usually opens around 6 to 7 p.m., and it was only a little after 4 and less than 5 p.m., so there was still some time to wait. Jing Ling randomly found a fast food restaurant, ordered a cup of Coke and a serving of French fries, and sat there for more than an hour. Thinking it was about time, he got up and went out. He was lucky, as the bar had just opened when he came over this time. As it was still early, there were not many customers yet. He only saw a few waiters in uniform making preparations in advance.
When Jing Ling walked in, the girl at the bar was cleaning the bar. Seeing someone coming in, she put down the rag in her hand and greeted, "Welcome, what can I do for you? The bartender hasn't arrived yet, so if you want any drinks, we have the ready-made ones." Although the door of the bar was open, it was not actually open for business yet. However, the girl at the bar had a good service attitude and did not ignore the customers.
It's a pity that Jing Ling is not here to consume.
"I'm not here to drink, I'm here to apply for a job. Are you short of a bartender?" He reached out to take off his ugly sunglasses and looked up at the girl at the bar.
The girl actually wanted to say that they were not short of people, but after seeing Jing Ling's face clearly, she couldn't say it. Before this, she had never thought that a person could be so good-looking. The stars in TV and movies who were crazily pursued by countless fans were all handsome. Perhaps because the distance was too far, she felt that they were inferior to the person in front of her.
The bar indeed has no plans to hire recently, but in this world where looks matter, good-looking people always have privileges. Even if they do nothing, just standing there they are a pleasing painting. If they have a little bit of skill, stimulating consumption is not difficult at all.
The girl at the bar wanted to keep the guy right away, but unfortunately she was just an employee and had to ask her boss for the specific situation.
"Wait a moment, I'll call the boss and ask." The girl at the bar said, she took the phone on the bar, found the boss's number and called, but she heard a familiar ringtone coming from outside the door. The girl was stunned for a moment. At this time, the boss's voice came from outside the door, "Xiao Yang, what do you want to talk to me about?" As he spoke, the man walked in.
The girl replied, "Brother Dong, there is someone here who wants to apply for a job."
The man named Brother Dong said subconsciously, "I remember we haven't posted any job ads recently."
The girl added, "Brother Dong, go take a look at him first." As she spoke, she pointed in the direction of Jing Ling.
"What's so good about it? Three heads and six arms or something." Brother Dong didn't take it seriously at all, but he still looked in the direction of the girl's hand. Then he was also stunned, and it took him a while to react, "Fuck, I'm not seeing things!"
Jing Ling came over. His height of 175cm was considered tall in the south. Standing next to Brother Dong, he was half a head taller than him. "Boss, is your shop short of a bartender?" He smiled faintly, with a small dimple faintly visible on his left cheek. This kind of handsomeness between that of a young man and a teenager, mixed with a hint of childish smile, could simply capture one's soul.
In fact, there is no shortage of people, but in front of such a beauty, principles and all that go to hell. Brother Dong nodded heavily, "We are in need! We are very in need! Can you come to work today?"
Jing Ling's smile deepened when he heard this, "Yes."
