Battlefield Contract Worker

Alert rings. Lin Rui quickly sat up from the bed and put on clothes almost like a conditioned reflex. Then he folded his quilt into tofu cubes as quickly as possible. After doing all this, he suddenly realized that he didn't need to get up so early at all. There is no need to fold the quilt on the bed into square tofu cubes.

Because he has already retired from the military. And he realizes it every day, after doing it all.

Yes, I have come back. Returning to the city where he had been separated for several years, he was born here, studied here, and met the girl he first liked here. Makes it all seem a little unfamiliar now. Although, he only left for two years.

Lin Rui shook his head, as if to shake off the chaotic thoughts from his mind.

He's tired enough. My mother passed away early, and my father passed away last year because of an accident. He was left with a pile of unpaid debts and an elderly grandfather. And he had just returned home from the military.

It's time to go out and look for a job. Lin Rui sighed, took out his old suit from the closet and put it on his body, but he always felt that the open neckline had no discipline buttons, and he felt uncomfortable.

After he packed up, he pushed open the door and walked out, but a few acquaintances approached him slightly stunned. "Uncle Zhang, you are..."

"Xiao Rui, originally you just came back, so I'm too embarrassed to come to you about this matter. However, these IOUs from your father." Uncle Zhang's expression was a little embarrassed. After all, he was a friend of Lin Rui's father.

But the others were not so polite. They were complaining directly, intentionally or unintentionally expressing that their family was financially poor, and the indirect meaning was to ask Lin Rui to repay the money as soon as possible.

Lin Rui was silent for a while, then nodded, "I understand, I know your intentions, but now I really don't have any money. Even if you block the door and don't let me out, I still don't have the money to pay you back. Why don't you ask me to go out to find a job. As long as I have a job, I will find a way to repay your money slowly. The only thing I am worth now is this house. Even if it is sold, it is not worth much, and Where do we live?"

Several people at the door became quiet, and although they were a little reluctant, they let Lin Rui go out. They all know the current situation of the Lin family.

"Thank you!" Lin Rui nodded.

No one likes creditors, but Lin Rui doesn't hate them either. They are just ordinary people who want to get back what originally belonged to them, that's all. What's more, many of them are still friends of their father. They helped the Lin family when their father's business failed. Lin Rui knew that he owed them not only money, but also favors.

But whoever it is? Encountering such a thing in the morning is always uncomfortable. Lin Rui sorted out his clothes and tried to adjust his mentality. He's going for an interview today, and he doesn't want to be in a bad mood. Taking a deep breath of the chilly morning air, smiling hard, I walked out of this alley.

He is going to interview with a security company. Being a security guard doesn't sound like a good job. But finding a job is not an easy task. It was good to hear back from the resumes he sent out, and most of them seemed to sink into the sea, so Lin Rui thought he should give it a try. He found the company according to the address.

In the office building where the company is located, Lin Rui found the person responsible for interviewing him.

It seems that there is no one else, and it seems that there are not many applicants. Lin Rui shook his head secretly, but he still walked into the office patiently. The person in charge of interviewing him was a middle-aged man in his 40s who was a little fat.

"My surname is Wang, you can just call me Director Wang." The middle-aged man flipped through the resume on the table and said to Lin Rui, "Sit down, Lin Rui, I have learned about your situation, in terms of height and image. No problem. It should be suitable for our work. But I have some details to know. You are a veteran, discharged this year?"

"Yes." Lin Rui nodded.

"I noticed that your service record is very good, and you have received several awards. So what army did you serve in?" Director Wang said casually.

Lin Rui hesitated for a moment and said, "Army, everything else is on my discharge certificate."

Director Wang glanced at him and said with a slight smile, "Just ask casually, don't be nervous. I know that the army has secrecy regulations, and some things can't be said casually, so just tell me what your specialties are."

Lin Rui nodded, "Small weapon shooting, fighting, reconnaissance and measurement, individual infiltration and reverse osmosis operations, and a little bit of blasting."

Director Wang was stunned for a long time, and suddenly couldn't help laughing, "I'm sorry, I didn't make it clear, I didn't mean military expertise. You know this is a peaceful era, and we are just a security company, we have no enemies, only a few at most Competitors in the same industry. Although the market is like a battlefield, we don’t need you to sneak into the other company to engage in infiltration and blasting activities. I just want to ask if you have any other specialties.”

Everyone else in the office also laughed, feeling that this young man is very interesting.

"This..." Lin Rui also felt a little embarrassed, smiled and said, "No more."

Director Wang nodded and said, "You said on your resume that you are looking for a job with a salary of around 3,000 a month, and preferably night shift. Why is that?"

"Because I need money, and I have patients at home. If I work night shifts, it is convenient to take care of the patients." Lin Rui said calmly.

Director Wang nodded and said, "But obviously we can't satisfy these two points. For general security guards, the monthly salary we can provide is between 12,000 and 1,500, and we adopt a rotation system. night shift."

Lin Rui was silent for a while. This salary is indeed very low. The key is that his grandfather is ill and needs to be taken care of. If you are not at home during the day, something will happen. However, he was still unwilling to say, "Is there no other position? Your security company provides security services, don't you need night shift staff?"

Director Wang shook his head and said, "We do provide professional security services for many customers, but, to put it bluntly, that's not what customers want. I can tell you frankly that most of the time they just need a tall, strong-looking person who looks very energetic. The young man stands at the door and reflects the following image. Even if you are a special soldier who has experienced hundreds of battles, it is of no use to us. We don’t need you to have any great abilities, we only need a gatekeeper. You can stand upright at the door and make people feel safe."

Director Wang said with a wry smile, "Given the nature of this job, it's obviously impossible for you to want a higher salary and free time arrangement, so... I can only say sorry."

Lin Rui nodded silently, put away his resume and several award certificates, turned around and walked out the door.

This was the first time he ran into a wall, and he couldn't remember clearly. It seems that no matter what, the end result is the same, and he still hasn't found a job. After Lin Rui walked out the door, he couldn't help feeling agitated for a while, and looked at his resume and several awards in the army. He couldn't help laughing bitterly, knowing this earlier, it was better to go to the logistics unit to raise pigs in the army. Maybe after I come back now, I can make a fortune by raising pigs.

Lin Rui looked at the certificates of military training and competition awards in his hand, and smiled bitterly. While walking past a trash can, I threw those stacks of paper into it. For a split second, he even felt a faint pain in his heart, because it seemed like he had left everything behind him.

"Don't you think it's a bit of a pity?" Someone behind him said slowly.

"It's nothing to regret, it's just some waste paper." Lin Rui said calmly.

"However, I can see that you have worked hard for these waste papers." The person behind him said slowly.

Lin Rui then turned around and looked carefully at the man behind him. This is a person who looks to be in his forties, but he looks very handsome. It is strange that although this person is handsome, his facial expression is a bit rigid.

"I don't know you." Lin Rui frowned.

"I know you, Lin Rui. In fact, I have been following behind you just now, but you didn't notice it. It can be seen that you have something on your mind, and you must be disappointed if you didn't get this job, even a kind of frustration. Feeling." The handsome middle-aged man on the opposite side smiled slightly, "It's still early to go back, and it's not too late to find a job again. If that's the case, why don't you talk to me."

"I really have no interest in talking." Lin Rui shook his head and said. He is in a very bad mood right now, and really doesn't want to talk about anything with a stranger. So he turned around and walked away. But just as he turned around, the handsome middle-aged man stepped up quickly, grabbed Lin Rui's sleeve with one hand, and at the same time lowered his body and leaned against him, with a speed that could not cover his ears. He threw Lin Rui off his shoulder.

The whole movement was simple and quick, the timing was very good, and the force was just right, almost rounding Lin Rui's shoulders. This move is so common that it is called a shoulder throw in Chinese wrestling, and a back throw in Japanese judo. It seems simple, but it contains the principles of mechanics. If you want to do it so neatly and suddenly, you can't do it without a few years of hard work. In this handsome middle-aged man, he has a pair of equally handsome skills.

However, Lin Rui was not thrown to the ground. Just when he was lifted up and his body center of gravity was lost, he suddenly turned slightly in the air and supported the ground with one hand, but his leg kicked the opponent's head by the tendency of falling. This is completely based on an instinctive reaction, and the action is made. Almost without any thought, suddenly and covertly.

However, the middle-aged man seemed to have expected this move for a long time. He bent his elbow and raised it to block his ear, and he just blocked Lin Rui's foot. However, Lin Rui also took this opportunity to stand up, looking at the middle-aged man and said sharply, "What do you want to do?"

"Try your skills." The middle-aged man said with a smile, "You can't learn this kung fu in the army. Military fighting is about grabbing and fighting, short and fast. There are very few traditional martial arts like you, Do you want to poke your legs or poke your feet?"

Lin Rui looked at him, frowned and said, "What does this have to do with you? I'm in a bad mood today, and the shot is not serious. Besides, you are too old, and I can't afford to pay for the medical bills." He said Turn around and leave.

However, the next sentence of the handsome middle-aged man stopped him again.

"I know you're looking for a job, maybe I can offer you a job." The handsome middle-aged man behind him said calmly.
