I found my best friend Belle with Houson in my arm and told her about the situation that I plan to go out to find a job.
Belle is the heir to a wealthy family who is unmarried and childless, and has both cats and dogs.
When I was going to marry Samuel, Belle advised me, and now it has come true.
Belle knew about my difficult situation: "It's not a big deal for you to stay in a hotel, just stay at my place."
Because she is my best friend, I didn't stand on ceremony with her.
After handing Houson over to Belle, I went to the largest talent market in this city.
They asked about my work experience, and I felt a bit embarrassed because Samuel, whom I knew in college, got married and had a child after graduation, and I had no work experience at all.
Without exception, I didn't get any job opportunities.
So, I could only go back with my head down.
After staying at Belle's house for a few days, Samuel finally couldn't hold back his emotions.
He called me several times for several days: "When are you coming back?"
I thought he knew he was wrong, but what he said once again refreshed my understanding of him: "Do you know that during the days you were not here, my mom and I ate out every day? You should feel sorry for me and my money, right?"
"I work hard to earn money, I can't spend it here. You better come back and cook for us."
I held back from cursing him, which was my last bit of manners.
It turns out that without me, the two of them are helpless.
Since it's like this, I can't go back anymore. I hung up the phone immediately.
I stayed at Belle's house for several days, and Houson also adapted to the environment here.
She lives in a big villa alone, and she has a nanny to cook for her and someone to clean the house.
We were enjoying ourselves here.
Friends helping you is a matter of friendship, not obligation. I still have to go out and work.
With the experience from last time, I no longer focus on comfortable jobs, but do whatever needs to be done, whether it's dirty or tiring.
It's a coincidence that I saw a job with a monthly salary of 1,000 dollars being recruited.
I calculated that 1,000 is just enough for my current life.
I called over there, but the person on the other end of the phone seems dissatisfied with me: "We don't hire female workers."
Upon hearing this, I felt like I was rained on the parade.
But I knew that if I give up like this, it's very likely that my life will be like this.
I gritted my teeth and said, "I can endure hardships, I'm not afraid of hard work."
There was a moment of hesitation on the other end of the phone, and my heart was also in my mouth. After a long time, they said, "Okay, come and have a look tomorrow."
I immediately agreed happily.
That night, I tossed and turned and couldn't sleep because I was about to have a job.
I told myself: Ariana Lumix, you can do it.
The next day, after settling Houson, I arrived at the agreed location early.
It's dirtier here than I imagined, but it's also bigger than I imagined, with thousands of packages rolling off the assembly line.
The Richard gave me a tricycle, and he reminded me anxiously, "If you can't do it, let me know early."
He added, "After all, you women can't handle this kind of hardship."
I nodded and said, "Okay."
I struggled to ride the tricycle. Although I can ride an electric bike, it's my first time riding this kind of tricycle.
Especially when crossing the road, I had to look back and forth at the vehicles, and my palms were sweating.
But fortunately, practice makes perfect. As long as I slowly get used to it, it's no big deal if I ride the bike slower than others.
The packages on the bike were packed full because it was my first time delivering, and I didn't recognize many of the roads.
I started using navigation, but I found it too slow, so I decided to call Richard instead.
He was not annoyed by me and patiently told me how to safely deliver the express to the recipient and arranged the route, so as not to take the wrong way.
With his help, I barely finished delivering the goods.
I rode the car to the company, and when Richard saw that I had delivered all the goods, although he didn't say anything, his eyes showed approval.
