When it was almost time to get off work, it was David’s turn.
Hearing his name, David walked forward nervously and sat in front of the interviewer.
After submitting his resume, David introduced himself nervously.
Because it was his first time, he was very nervous and his voice trembled.
The interviewer on the opposite side immediately frowned, knocked on the table and interrupted his introduction, "OK. Stop here. You don't meet our conditions. I'm sorry."
David was stunned, "I haven't finished my introduction."
The interviewer smiled said faintly, "No. Hearing your self introduction, I know you're looking for a job for the first time. You don't have work experience."
"Yes." David nodded honestly, "But I'm just applying for a clerk."
"Let’s not talk about the position you are applying for.A You are 26 years old and have no work experience. Sir, can you tell me what you have been doing since you graduated from college?"
The interviewer’s words speechless.
Did what? Playing games at home.
But could he answer that?
The interviewer shook his head and handed back his resume, "Next one."
David took his resume blankly and didn't know how he left the conference hall.
He just felt that the world was no longer colorful, and the things in his eyes were filled with gray despair.
He walked aimlessly, like a walking corpse. He was completely unaware of the changes in the scenery on both sides of the street.
Then a scream woke him from his absence.
"Help!"
David looked up and found that he had come to a bridge. Not far away, a woman was clinging to the railing of the bridge, and the whole person hung outside the railing.
The wind was strong by the river, and the woman was trembling. She might fall at any time.
There was no one except David on the bridge.
Seeing this, David rushed up and grabbed her wrist. Because he was too anxious, he was pulled forward and rushed out. His upper body was stuck between the railings, but he couldn't move. The resume in hand was blown out of the bridge.
But fortunately, he grasped the woman.
The woman grabbed David’s hand tightly The red nails were embedded in his arm.
"Don't let go!" David yelled. He endured the pain in his arm and pulled the woman up.
...
Rachel Lake felt that she was dying.
Because of relationship problems, she had been in a bad mood these days. Today, she really feels depressed and came to LJ Bridge to relax. Then she was sitting on the railing, but accidentally she turned over. If she didn't react quickly and grabbed the railing with one hand, she might fall into the river and die.
At that time, there was no one on the bridge. No matter how she asked for help, no one appeared.
Just when she almost couldn’t hold on, David saved her.
Two people sat on the ground, gasping for breath, both of whom were still in panic.
Rachel got back her composure first and said gratefully to David, "Sir, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would fall into the river today."
David waved his hand, "It's nothing."
While he waved his hand, Rachel immediately saw several scratches on Lin his arm. She was too nervous and grabbed it with her fingernails just now.
She pointed to his arm and said with guilt, "Your arm has scratches."
"Nothing." David shook his head, got up from the ground, looked at the resume falling in the middle of the river, and felt a little distressed.
He needed to pay to print another resume.
"You should be careful in the future. It's windy by the river. You'd better not take chances." After telling her, David went back with a lot of worries.
While there was still half a day left, he wanted to see if there were any other jobs.
Looking at David’s leaving back, Rachel remembered that she had forgotten to ask his name.
When she wanted to ask, his figure disappeared in her sight.
She sighed, but suddenly remembered something. She took out her mobile phone and called, "Hey, I lost a document here at LJ Bridge. Go to the river and get it back."
"Yes, Ms Lake"
Soon after, in the president's office of XH Investment Company, Rachel saw a resume that was not completely dry on the table.
It was David’s. On it, there was even the seal of the personnel department of XH Investment Company.
In the upper right corner of her desk, there was the interviewer information today.
Rachel looked at the employee information in the upper right corner and looked at David's resume from time to time.
A moment later, she picked up the phone and called the personnel manager, "Dylan Brown, I have some questions to ask you about today's interview."
...
With the reprinted resume, David went to several companies and he was refused by all of them.
He didn't know how he got home, and he didn't realize that there was something wrong with Josie today.
"You are back. How are you today?" He asked, trying to smile.
The light wasn’t on in the room, and so it was dim. Josie lowered her head and her expression couldn’t be seen, but David was still worried when he saw her trembling shoulders,
"I ... Lost my job."
This news was undoubtedly the biggest blow to this family. David had no job and the family was heavily in debt, and Josie’s work was almost the last lifeline for the whole family.
Now, the lifeline was broken.
What should they do in their future life?
Rent, examination, the baby...
In the dim light, David came to Josie and gently hugged her.
"It's all right. Your most important task now is to be in health and prepare for giving birth to the baby."
"Don't worry. I am here. Anyway, I won't let you suffer."
Josie finally couldn't restrain her emotion. She hugged David tightly and cried.
"Sorry..."
"Silly woman! I'm sorry."
Gently stroking Josie's back, David comforted her in a soft voice.
It was getting dark. In the room without lights on, the room was becoming dark, as if there was no hope in the future.
Suddenly, the mobile phone screen was on.
That was David's cell phone.
"Hello." David picked up his cell phone and answered the call.
At that moment, the voice on the other end of the phone was like the sound of nature,
"Mr. David, this is XH Investment Group. After discussion about today's interview, we think you are the most qualified candidate..."
