Chapter 155 Frustration

At the beginning of the lantern, the night is hazy.

Under countless dazzling neon lights, a lonely figure is walking aimlessly on the sidewalk, as if the only thing accompanying her is the suitcase in her hand.

For her, there is still a loss ahead. Even if the road is connected, she doesn't know where to go?

At this moment, she feels that she is a lonely boat in the ocean, with no head in front of her. She can only drift with the waves and float wherever it is, hesitant and helpless.

Unconsciously, Zhao Zilin came to Chaoyang Hotel again.

Looking at the dilapidated lighting sign, Zhao Zilin's eyes were gloomy and she smiled silently.

There is no other place to go except this cheap hotel, right?

Shaking her head helplessly, Zhao Zilin held her tired body and slowly walked into the Chaoyang Hotel. After re-registering, this place became her destination again.

Xiong Zhuang followed all the way. After confirming that Zhao Zilin had entered the Chaoyang Hotel, he took out his mobile phone, dialed Zhang Xiaohua's phone, and asked for instructions: "Miss Zhao has stayed in the Chaoyang Hotel. I have been following her. What should I do next?"

"Chaoyang Hotel?" Zhang Xiaohua's muttering came from the phone.

You don't need to ask Zhang Xiaohua to imagine what kind of place this Chaoyang Hotel is. It's just a clock hotel with the name of the hotel. Generally, serious people don't go to that kind of place, let alone any serious people will live in that kind of place.

It seems that the girl is really desperate, so she chooses that kind of place to settle down, right?

"Brother Xiong, please continue to watch her for me. No matter where she goes, you can call me directly. Zhang Xiaohua asked.

"Don't worry, that's what I did. I'm sure there's no problem." Xiong Zhuang gave Zhang Xiaohua a positive answer.

With Xiong Zhuang looking at Zhao Zilin, Zhang Xiaohua was relieved.

In the face of Aunt Liu's problem, my mother also thought about it, and Aunt Liu's situation has been relatively stable in the past two days, and there are still some signs of improvement. For this reason, the burden on Zhang Xiaohua's shoulders is also much lighter. At least tonight, he can sleep soundly.

At dawn, the sun rises in the east.

A brand-new day is officially coming.

Chaoyang Hotel, an ordinary room, Zhao Zilin got up early. No, it should be said that she didn't sleep at all last night.

In this environment, the ears are always the violent collision of the body, the heartless moans when the men and women are fiercely lingering, and the violent shaking of the bed, and they can't sleep quietly at all.

Although she hasn't slept all night, Zhao Zilin has to cheer up, because she has to continue to look for a job today. She can't do it without energy.

After washing up, Zhao Zilin dressed up a little and left the hotel.

Standing at the door of the hotel, facing the morning sun hanging diagonally in the sky, she took a deep breath, and then exhaled it out leisurely, and decided to find a job in the fullest state today. Before that, she had to fill her stomach first, otherwise what would she have any strength?

She took out her wallet and opened it, but when she saw the few wrinkled* left in it, she gave up the idea of having breakfast.

There is still a long way to go. Before you find a job, it's better to save some money. Otherwise, let alone eat, I'm afraid you can't even live in the cheapest hotel behind you and can only sleep on the street.

A trace of bitterness appeared on her pretty face, but immediately she was relieved. With her education, she took a step and began to run around in the most prosperous city in China.

On the opposite road, Xiong Zhuang stood straight like a benchmark and locked his eyes on Zhao Zilin for the first time.

Although Xiong Zhuang didn't sleep all night, his spirit was surprisingly good. His sharp and flexible eyes rotated with Zhao Zilin's movement. In addition, his eyes seemed to be unable to accommodate anything else.

At that time, when he saw Zhao Zilin leave, Xiong Zhuang also started his pace and quietly followed Zhao Zilin. He was careful and always kept within ten meters with her. Even if he was Zhao Zilin's shadow, it was not an exaggeration.

In order to save some money, Zhao Zilin did not take a taxi and walked on the sidewalk.

came to the city center and crossed the streets and alleys one after another. I don't know how long she walked before she came to a narrow alley and stood at the door of a company called [Guangming Law Firm].

Zhao Zilin has been paying attention to this law firm for a long time and is also her greatest hope, because this law firm is a private enterprise, small in scale, in the beginning stage of development, and is recruiting talents in the legal and political circles, so Zhao Zilin is very confident that she should be hired with her education.

Although being a lawyer is only Zhao Zilin's deputy position, not her real ideal career, it is also a very happy thing to be hired by this lawyer, which is better than going to the hotel as a welcome lady.

With courage and cheering up, Zhao Zilin slowly walked into the lawyer's office.

As soon as she entered the door, Zhao Zilin looked around and saw that the law firm was not very large. The 200-square-meter area was full of desks, which seemed a little crowded, but it was not a downtown area, so the office environment was relatively comfortable. On the long guest sofa against the wall, there are full of people, including men and women of different ages, holding various resumes in their hands. It seems that they are all here to apply.

Looking at the dozen candidates, Zhao Zilin felt a lot of pressure in an instant. She really couldn't figure out why the domestic competition became so fierce.

No matter where or in which industry, why are so many people looking for a job?

Alas!

This society is so cruel!

"Miss, what can I do for you?" A young receptionist approached and asked.

"Oh, I'm here to apply." Zhao Zilin answered honestly. After so many failures, this time she is a little nervous and obviously lacks confidence.

"Please wait over there. After the interview, it will be your turn." The receptionist said with a smile.

"Okay, thank you!" Zhao Zilin went to the guest sofa, but the sofa was already full of people, so she could only stand. Other candidates would cast hostile eyes at her from time to time. The smell of gunpowder was full, the competition was fierce, and the atmosphere was very solemn.

one hour...

Two hours...

Three hours...

Candidates walked into the supervisor's office one by one, and as a result, they came out one by one. Everyone seemed very confident, as if they had been hired.

It was not until 11 a.m. that Zhao Zilin was invited to the supervisor's office.

When she came to the office, Zhao Zilin looked up and saw a middle-aged man sitting behind the desk, about 40 years old, with sparse hair and baldness, but he looked very strict. At the front of the desk, there was a famous brand with eight characters [Senior Lawyer Zhuang Wentian], which made Zhao Zilin even more awe.

Standing at the desk, Zhao Zilin politely bowed gently to Zhuang Wentian, and then introduced herself with a smile, "Hello, my name is Zhao Zilin. I'm here for an interview. This is my resume and lawyer's license. Please have a look. After saying that, he put his resume and lawyer's license in front of Zhuang Wentian.

Zhuang Wentian took a brief look at Zhao Zilin's information. Although Zhao Zilin's education is very high and has a lawyer's license issued abroad, Zhuang Wentian doesn't seem to attach much importance to these superficial things.

Looking up at Zhao Zilin and seeing that she was so young, Zhuang Wentian shook his head slightly disappointed and asked repeatedly, "Do you have any experience in litigation? What cases have you represented? How much do you know about the lawyer industry? How much knowledge do you have about the domestic environment? And how about interpersonal relationships? Have you ever had a relationship with the domestic judicial department?

In the face of Zhuang Wentian's continuous questions, Zhao Zilin only felt that her head was big and hesitated for a long time, but she couldn't even answer a single question.

After all, she has just returned to China, and during her study abroad, she majored in enterprise management, and only took part-time courses in politics and law.

[Virtual Court Dialectics Class] She has participated several times, but when it comes to practical experience, she lacks not a little, especially the domestic social environment, and she is still in a state of ignorance.

Zhuang Wentian shook his head disappointed again and said in that didadic tone: "To be honest, high education is useless in China. We have a flexible mind and fluent eloquence. The most important thing is mature experience and the cognition and relationship between the domestic environment and local judicial departments. You don't have any of these things. It seems that you are just a newcomer to the society. What we want here is performance, but we don't have time to train new people. You know, time is money now, which is very precious.

Zhao Zilin blushed and lowered her head in shame, like a little girl who had just made a mistake. Facing the ingenial teachings of adults, she was speechless.

Speaking of which, she was originally a very confident person. When she was studying abroad, she thought that no matter what happened to her, she could easily deal with it. No matter what kind of job, she is easily competent.

However, since she returned to China, she found that she had been whimsified.

The social environment and work requirements in China are much more complicated than she thought, even what she never thought of. At the same time, she thinks that Zhuang Wentian is right. She is indeed inexperienced and has no use except for good-looking.

Since Zhao Zilin is not the best candidate, Zhuang Wentian does not want to waste time. He returned his resume to Zhao Zilin and said bluntly, "Sorry, you are not the ideal candidate for our lawyer. You can go."

Zhuang Wentian's words were like knives and went straight into Zhao Zilin's heart, which made her deeply shocked. At the same time, she only felt sad and desperate!

Once upon a time, she never felt that reality was so terrible, nor did she feel that society was so cruel, let alone that her future was so uncertain!

Until now, she fully understood that she seemed to have no future!

Suddenly, she felt that her outlook on life and the world had collapsed and turned into a pile of broken bricks. Life and future were dark...
