Volume 1: The Beginner's First Cry Chapter IV Notification
Notice, is it to notify me to go for an interview or to notify me that I will be hired? Although I haven't had an interview for nearly a month, I have interviewed several companies before. I heard that some companies are slow in their work and need to go through careful research. It is not impossible that they are notifying me of the job offer now. This should be the case, otherwise Afeng would not be so happy for me. It is really a blessing in disguise! This opportunity is hard-won, I must seize it and start all over again. No matter how hard it is, I must persist and never give up easily.
"Which company?" My voice trembled.
"World International"
I don't have any impression of it. It doesn't seem like a big company. That's okay. Stop being picky. It's a small company, so it is. Maybe I'm just ignorant and haven't heard of it.
"Is it famous? How big is it?"
"Of course it is big. It is jointly funded by nine world-class companies including China, the United States, the European Union, South Korea, Japan, Russia, South Africa, Australia, and Brazil. It is headquartered in Paris and has branches in major countries around the world. It has top technology and strong strength. How can it not be famous?"
I was so happy that I almost jumped up. I was rich now. If I had the opportunity to join such a powerful company, it would be my dream! I must show myself well and strive to grasp this hard-won opportunity.
Just as I was feeling smug, I suddenly felt something was wrong. This couldn't be possible. I shouldn't have applied to Tianxia International, let alone interviewed. I would . Could it be that Afeng was lying to me? But he shouldn't be joking so much. Today wasn't April Fool's Day. Could it be that he was trying to make me happy?
My mind raced, and I hesitated as I spoke, "Afeng, was it really the famous Tianxia International that notified me?" I deliberately emphasized the words "notify" and "famous" to express my doubts.
Ah Feng was completely unaware. "Of course, would I lie to you? You kid, I really don't know what kind of shit luck you have. Why can't I encounter such a good thing? I sent it over as well."
"Notify...notify me to do what? I remember I didn't send them any letters, so how did they find me?" It shouldn't be that they searched on the job website. I should know what kind of person I am, so how could I be chosen by such a big company?
"Of course I notified you to claim the prize. You never sent it. I forced you to fill it out and I helped you to send it. How come you don't remember it? You little brat, we both sent it together. Why did you win the special prize while I got nothing? It's really unfair!"
Winning a prize, and the special prize, what does this have to do with anything? The understand.
"What happened? Please explain it to me quickly. I am confused by you."
"Don't you know that?"
"Nonsense, I just came back from paying the rent and saw you having fun there, how would I know what happened?"
"Then why are you so happy for so long?"
"... Stop talking nonsense and speak quickly." My face felt hot again.
"Don't you remember the lucky draw card for the Tianxia game that I forced you to fill out that day? You were reluctant to do it at that time. Today, I'm here to tell you that your luck is really good. You should have bought a lottery ticket earlier and won the special prize. The prize is a new model of multifunctional Tianxia virtual game helmet, which comes with a Tianxia game account and an annual card. In other words, you have escaped poverty and become rich in an instant. You can play Tianxia for free for a year without paying any fees. How much money can you save? Besides, let's not talk about other things. The market value of this virtual game helmet alone is at least hundreds of thousands."
Disappointment, so disappointment, my heart was getting colder and colder, I fell from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the valley all of a sudden, my face was ashen in an instant, I fell on the sofa with a plop, my mood was so bad that it couldn't be worse.
A Feng's originally playful expression turned serious as I moved. "Why, are you unhappy? Among the 100 million people who participated in the lottery worldwide, only 100 people can win the grand prize. I heard that there are only seven in China. I have been dreaming about such a good thing, but you, who never play games, actually ran into it. It really hurts the heart of a die-hard gamer like me."
I calmed down a little and said unhappily, "You also said that I don't play games. What's the point of winning this prize? Since you like it, I'll give it to you. I'm sure you can use it."
A Feng sighed and said weakly, "You think I don't want it? It's a waste of resources in your hands. But your information has already been entered into this helmet and account. No one else can use it except you. Oh my God, I'm so angry."
I looked at A Feng with sympathy, but I could not comfort him. "Then I can't do anything. I can't help you. You are the one who caused all the trouble. I said I wouldn't play games, but you insisted on letting me fill out that card. Otherwise, nothing would have happened. You don't have to be so sad like a nagging woman."
Ah Feng gnashed his teeth in anger, "Humph, you are such an idiot. Not only did you not try to comfort my broken heart, you even made sarcastic remarks. I really made the wrong friends and met a 'good friend' like you."
After Afeng's jokes, my mood gradually improved. Yes, I won the special prize which is so hard to win. It's a one in a million chance. I am still lucky. It's all because I started to think wrongly. This is a good thing. Although it can't solve any substantial problems, at least it doesn't have any adverse effects. Looking at Afeng, I am so envious.
"Ah Dai, no matter what you think, the special prize is already yours. Your personal information has been locked. No one but you can use the virtual game helmet. Others can only use it as a decoration. Even if you want to sell it, no one will want it. In my opinion, you should just play Tianxia with me. This is an opportunity given to you by God. Whatever you lack, he will give it to you. In addition, you can play for free for a year . Such a good thing, you can't find it even if you search with a lantern. Why can't I encounter it?"
This guy, here he comes again. I glared at him. "What I want most now is a stable job that can make a lot of money, not this damn gaming equipment. I am struggling on the edge of survival and it is far from the time to enjoy life. Playing games means I don't have to eat? Don't say anything like you support me. I am a grown man with normal sexual orientation. I don't have any bad habits, but I don't want to be a gigolo."
A Feng looked aggrieved. "We are friends, and we should help each other. How can you call it living off me? Even if you want to be a mistress, I don't want to. Besides, how can you not make money by playing games? Look at me, I sold my game equipment and got a lot of money. Not only did I get back all my investment, but I also made a small profit. I am just an amateur player. How many professional players are there in the world? Don't they all make a living by playing games? Many of them live quite comfortably!"
"I'm just a rookie. I've never played before. How can I compare with others? Besides, you've been playing for so many years, but I don't see you getting rich. You still have to rely on work to make a living."
"I'm unlucky. I've never gotten any top-quality equipment, so of course I can't get rich. But you're different. You're so lucky. You might get something good. Anything can happen in the game. As long as you're lucky enough, it's not impossible to get some top-quality equipment. You know, the value of a piece of top-quality equipment is enough for the two of us to enjoy comfortably for several years."
"But……"
No matter how much Ah Feng talked, I still couldn't make up my mind. I was not mentally prepared to enter a new field and experience an alternative lifestyle. This was no joke. I didn't deny that this was also a way of life, and I had the basic tools to make a living, but this completely overturned my old life philosophy and it was hard for me to accept it for a while.
Afeng was helpless about my stubbornness. We had known each other for such a long time and knew each other's temper. It would not be easy to change me overnight. It would be a protracted war. Of course, whether I played or not, I still had to claim the prize. For such a "valuable" item, I didn't have to pay taxes and the prize claiming place was in Shenzhen, which didn't cost much for the trip. Naturally, I couldn't refuse it. Afeng was very happy. Fortunately, I was claiming the prize in Shenzhen. If I had been to Beijing or Haicheng, a place as far away as the whole China, I might have given up. There was nothing I could do. I was a poor man and couldn't afford the round-trip travel expenses.
