The three-year pandemic has severely impacted many businesses, leaving them barely surviving or even going bankrupt.
There are over ten million college graduates this year.
However, the current economic downturn has resulted in a shortage of job opportunities for businesses.
Supply exceeds demand.
The value of academic qualifications has been severely devalued.
Many undergraduate and graduate students resolutely joined the food delivery and Didi industries.
As a recent graduate, Jiang Mai has been looking for a job.
However.
It's either the salary is too low, the demands are too high, or the company is so bad that it could go bankrupt at any time.
She spent a lot of time and energy looking for a satisfactory job.
Mid-June.
I received a great offer; the position is new media operations.
The benefits are very good: a base salary of 4,000 plus commission, and weekends off.
She started her work with great anticipation.
Try to learn some experience at work.
However.
It wasn't until a few days after she officially started working that he realized the job was more than just operations.
It is a comprehensive role encompassing filming, operations, editing, and post-production.
Abbreviation: "Doing odd jobs".
One person does the work of four or five people.
Even the donkeys in the production team aren't this busy.
After working there for almost a month, she quit.
After that, she stayed at home and became a full-time daughter.
Relatives often come to visit and see Jiang Mai staying at home.
then.
They all became matchmakers, trying to arrange marriages for her.
During this period of time.
All the relatives and friends in the village came to urge him to get married.
Jiang Mai is getting really annoyed.
She was lying on a large bed with light blue stripes.
Holding a broken phone, I kept swiping the screen.
"Ugh, why is it so hard to find this lousy job!" she complained, frowning.
Beep beep beep!
The cell phone rang.
Jiang Mai trembled slightly, but finally answered the phone.
"Hello, Mom."
"My dear daughter, I saw a handsome young man at the factory today. Why don't you two get to know each other?"
"No! Mom, I'm only 22 years old, and I don't even have a stable job yet. Why are you always expecting me to get married?"
"My dear daughter, I'm doing this for your own good. If you can marry into a good family, the whole family will be at ease."
"Why is marriage the only ultimate goal for a woman? Can't I have other pursuits?"
"For example: reading, exercising, traveling around the world, seeing a bigger world..."
Upon hearing this...
Wu Ying was stunned.
After a moment's hesitation, she spoke again: "Daughter, whatever you do, your dad and I will support you, as long as you're happy."
"It's a good thing that my dear daughter has her own pursuits!"
The tone of this sentence was not so harsh; it softened considerably.
Jiang Mai looked up again and found that Wu Ying's eyes were already wet.
"Yes, Mom's idea is not wrong, it's just that everyone has a different perspective."
Thinking about this...
She felt a pang of guilt.
She thought to herself, "Was my tone too harsh just now?"
Take a moment to think.
She breathed a sigh of relief and offered a way out.
"Mom, what are that young man's qualifications like?"
"ah?"
Wu Ying was stunned.
This was the first time Jiang Mai had taken the initiative to ask about the boy's situation.
There was a long silence.
She became interested again.
"That boy is quite nice. He's tall and handsome, and most importantly, he can cook. He's chopping vegetables right now."
"Chopping vegetables?" Jiang Mai looked bewildered. "Could he be a cook?"
"No, he's our client. I don't know what he's doing in the cafeteria."
"Who is the client who comes to cook in the cafeteria?" Several question marks appeared above Jiang Mai's head.
"I don't know, let me check, I'll tell you later."
Just as she was about to hang up, Wu Ying seemed to remember something.
So he asked, "By the way, would you like to get to know this boy?"
Jiang Mai opened her mouth, intending to refuse.
But remembering her mother's tone just now, she froze.
"Um, we can meet and see each other."
I don't know what happened.
I blurted that out of nowhere.
"Okay, then your mom will ask her for you!"
Hang up the phone.
Knock knock knock!
Wu Ying looked in the direction of the sound.
Yu Hui was holding a potato in his left hand and a kitchen knife in his right.
He bent down and carefully chopped.
The potatoes were first cut into thin, evenly sized slices.
Immediately afterwards.
The dull thud of the cutting board clattering against the cleaver filled the air.
The potatoes were quickly sliced into thin strips of moderate thickness.
Seeing Yu Hui's exquisite knife skills and techniques.
Discussions arose from those around them.
"Wow, this young man is something else."
"No way, this technique seems even better than Chef Shen's."
"It's difficult to reach this level of fineness without seven or eight years of basic training."
"Phew, the chef from last time wasn't as good with a knife as this young man. Just who is this guy?"
"Could he be the champion of this culinary competition?"
"A food competition? That sounds familiar..."
"You don't know this, do you? The culinary competition is the most prestigious competition for chefs. First, chefs are recruited from all over the country, and then they all go to the capital to compete. It's a series of advancements. If you win first place, that's the highest honor."
"That's right. I heard that last year's champion is now a chef specializing in state banquets, earning a seven-figure annual income!"
"......"
There was a lot of chattering and discussion around.
