Chapter 14 People’s hearts are not as old as they used to be

"Oh, it's okay! Xiao Yin and Xiao Tang, right? Come in, come in, I'm looking for you if I have something to do!" Ma Gebi greeted him pretending to be enthusiastic, and then waved his hand: "Mr. Sun, you go back first, I'm here

If you need to receive people, I will report your matter to the leader! Go back!"

The old man didn't say anything when he saw Yin Hui and Tang Yan coming in. He just nodded politely to them, turned around and left the office.

"Director Ma, do you... have anything to do with us?" To be honest, Yin Hui wanted to kick the fat man in front of him like a trash can at this moment, which made people think of a pile of chubby things.

The unfinished man, who was covered in oil and disgusting like braised pork, was kicked away. But after Yin Hui took a deep breath, he forced himself to show his face to this man who made her feel nauseated to the extreme.

With a smile like spring breeze and rain, and with a voice that gave me goosebumps when I heard it, I spoke.

The fat man whom Yin Hui calls Director Ma is named Ma Gobi. Like his name, he does look very much like the grass-mud horses that live in the Mara Gobi. He weighs nearly two hundred kilograms and is estimated to be able to kill Yin Hui alive.

But the reason why Yin Hui didn't dare to kick him away was because this guy worked in the same unit as Yin Hui, and he was also his immediate boss, and he had a nickname known to the entire unit "

Boilermaker."

Ma Gobi's identity in the funeral home is the director of the human resources department. He has a lot of power in his hands. He is certainly not a boilermaker. The reason why he has such a nickname is because he is characterized by fanning the flames.

In front of the factory director, he could talk about a big-ass thing like NATO's war in Libya. If he was a minute late and said it in his mouth, the impact would be as big as driving a forklift.

The effect of destroying 99.99% of the company was so bad.

All in all, this fat man is a person who is hated by everyone in the crematorium, and everyone wants to hang him alive. It is estimated that from the establishment of the funeral home to the present, countless people have thought about dragging this man out and lighting sky lanterns.

thoughts.

To be honest, everyone in the funeral parlor knows that Ma Gobi has no other talents besides fanning the flames and making snitches. But so far, he is still alive and well. And he is still alive better than anyone else.

And all those who offended him seemed to have a bad ending.

There is only one reason, and it is because Ma Gobi happens to be the nephew of the new factory director.

"How long have you been here?" Ma Gebi said enthusiastically as he packed up the documents on his desk.

"Oh, just arrived, just arrived!" Yin Hui said.

"Come on, come on, sit down! Don't be nervous, I have something to tell you!"

"Just pretend you didn't hear what Mr. Sun said to me just now. That damn old man has been pestering me all day long to arrange a job for his daughter. How can it be so easy?"

"I know, I know!" Yin Huipi nodded with a smile.

"Our business volume has increased a lot in recent years, and the current employees' burdens have also become heavier. In order to relieve everyone's pressure, the organization decided to recruit two more makeup artists. However, although this industry has a bad reputation, the salary is quite good.

It's impressive. There are quite a few college students who signed up this time, so we can only admit the best. When it comes to personnel assessment, I'm really not very good at it. After thinking about it, you and Xiao Tang are just right. This morning, you guys will be temporarily

You don’t have to work anymore, just be responsible for selecting your future colleagues!”

Ma Gebi turned around and poured a glass of boiling water.

"good!"

"Well, that's it, you two go get ready now. First go to Lao Zhou to report in, and then give them the assessment! Take good care of it." Ma Gebi waved to the two of them, indicating that they could leave.

The two walked out of Ma Gebi's office and walked along the gloomy corridor to the first dressing room where they work. Along the way, Tang Yan walked with Yin Hui coldly and arrogantly, attracting the envy of several lonely people.

gaze.

"Tang Yan, I've always wanted to ask, why did you choose to work here?" Yin Hui held it in for a long time and finally took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.

"It's clean here, without any hustle and bustle! And the salary is very high. I need this kind of job!" Tang Yan raised her red lips lightly, and every word sounded so tempting.

"Then you, a girl, are not afraid?"

"Afraid! There is nothing to be afraid of. There is nothing scary about dead people, only living people are scary!" Tang Yan said.

"That makes sense!"

With that said, we arrived at our destination. There were two corpses in the dressing room. Zhou Haiqing was putting makeup on one of the corpses. Although the white and miserable corpse looked a bit scary, at least he would not move. Unlike the living people, he would never be able to move.

With endless conspiracies, Yin Hui gradually understood the meaning of Tang Yan's words.

"Oh, you guys are here, I took note of it. Ma Gebi came over today and said he wanted to recruit two apprentices. Now that's good. I don't need to be too tired!" Zhou Haiqing raised the eyebrow pencil in his hand and slapped Yin Hui.

call.

"Master Zhou, why are you the only one here?" Yin Hui looked at him looking very busy and asked casually.

"Oh, there were originally two, but my master just retired last month, so I'm the only one left. Makeup work is a delicate job. This city is big and people are dying every day. I can't come alone, so

The factory is just planning to recruit a few more apprentices to share the burden!" Zhou Haiqing smiled at Yin Hui and said, he is not a very good-looking person, but he has a good heart and is an easy character to get along with.

"Then you are fooling around and accepting a bunch of apprentices in advance. Even the apprenticeship ceremony is enough for you to drink a pot!" Yin Hui said deliberately and teasingly.

"Don't worry! There's no point in trying this whole thing. People's hearts are apart. As long as these newcomers treat me sincerely, I'll be fine! Look at Mr. Sun's apprentice, now that he's an official, he's forgotten his master! Find him to do something about it.

You just push back and forth on everything! You are heartless!" Zhou Haiqing quickly waved his hand at them.

"Hey, I just heard Mr. Sun arguing with him in Director Ma's office. What was going on?" Driven by curiosity, Yin Hui began to inquire about the news.

"Ma Gebi turned out to be a fire chemical engineer. As you know, Mr. Sun was his master. That kid was more cunning. He relied on his family connections to climb to the position of director, and he lost touch with the people below. Mr. Sun's

My daughter graduated this year, but the girl has some disabilities in her hands. She originally said she would take care of the job, but the girl couldn't do the job of a makeup artist, so she had to work at the front desk. However, the man named Ma and the director of the funeral home were not allowed to go to the civil affairs department because of

The leader of the company had a relative who wanted to come in, so he gave Mr. Sun's daughter the favor. So Mr. Sun was very sad, hey, you must not go out and talk nonsense!" Zhou Haiqing's words finally made Yin Hui understand what the quarrel was about.

The reason, I sighed in my heart, is that the commonality of filth in this society has long been ingrained, and even funeral parlors cannot escape the bad luck.

"Oh, I won't talk nonsense!" Yin Hui said swornly, and glanced sideways at Tang Yan, who smiled and shook her head gently.

"That's good, that's good!" Zhou Haiqing nodded. After all, there are some things worth worrying about when people are under the roof.

"Mr. Sun is working hard too. He's already so old and still so busy!" Yin Hui couldn't help but begin to sympathize with the poor old man.

"Hey! Yes, Mr. Sun's wife died a long time ago, and he has always been dependent on his daughter. His daughter is still disabled, which is really pitiful! Fortunately, the work of cremation is not too tiring. Just put the body in and burn it, and turn it over with a hook.

Just turn it over, it's no different from grilling steak." Zhou Haiqing said without raising his head.

"Ugh..." Tang Yan immediately covered her mouth, feeling the desire to spit out everything she had eaten today, yesterday, and the day before yesterday. Yin Hui also frowned, but she didn't show it.

"What's wrong, Xiao Tang, are you hungry?" Zhou Haiqing was a little surprised. His mind was a little dull and he couldn't react for a while.

"Oh, oh, it's nothing, nothing..." Yin Hui hugged Tang Yan to his shoulders and said with an embarrassed smile.

"Sorry, what's the point of being embarrassed? The toilet is in the building opposite, don't hold it in..." Zhou Haiqing looked more anxious than others. Although he was warm-hearted, he was obviously in the wrong place. "No.

..." Tang Yan clenched her teeth tightly and was so ashamed that if she was given a knife, she might really stab her without hesitation.

"Master Zhou, you misunderstood. She's just feeling a little unwell, Tang Yan, right?" Yin Hui's head was full of black lines, knowing full well what would happen if this little brat continued talking.

They quickly settled things down.

"Not feeling well?" Zhou Haiqing opened his mouth.

"Well..." Tang Yan had no choice but to blush and nodded.

"Ouch, look at my mouth, haha, I'm sorry, I'm sorry..." Zhou Haiqing slapped his thigh fiercely, as if he suddenly realized something.

"It's okay, it's okay." Yin Hui shook off his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief, but Zhou Haiqing's next words almost choked him to death.

"Sister Tang must be pregnant, right? Xiao Yin, congratulations, congratulations. It's a few months. Come on, my brother will buy you a drink after get off work."

Tang Yan's eyes darkened and she fell directly into Yin Hui's arms. Yin Hui froze in place and was completely petrified...

What? What are these?

The funeral parlor is different from other places anyway. It bears too much sorrow. Although the staff has long been numb, everyone who comes here to see off their loved ones is still very sad. After walking a few steps, they find that there is

Families of many of the deceased were crying on the sidelines.

Yin Hui and Tang Yan walked out of Zhou Haiqing's place as if they were fleeing, and they both saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. They had to bypass these crying people, passed through several doors of the office building, and came to the main hall of the funeral parlor.

The corridor here is quiet, but the chairs on both sides of the corridor are full of people who have come to apply for jobs. They all have solemn expressions on their faces. It seems that they are here to mourn, not to apply for jobs. However, the atmosphere here is really hard to let go.

People became lively, and there was even a girl with a pale face, sweat on her forehead, and covering her mouth with a handkerchief. She seemed to be particularly uncomfortable with the atmosphere here. Yin Hui looked at her suffering and was really worried for her. What a good girl.

Why did you come to apply for this job? He smiled helplessly, picked an empty seat, sat down, and waited quietly.

From the faces of the applicants, Yin Hui could see that they were all young, and the various colorful graduation certificates in the bags they carried with them showed that they were all college students. It seemed that it was really hard to find a stable job these days.

It's not easy, just like it was for me back then.

After a while, a tall, thin man in his forties with a blue work permit hanging on his chest came out with a stack of materials and handed out a paper recruitment application form to everyone who came to apply for a job in the corridor.

It requires filling in some basic information such as "name, gender, place of origin, date of birth, school of graduation...", which is quite common in this society.

A boy quickly filled out the basic information, thought about the registration position for a while, and then carefully wrote down "front desk reception". When he filled it out, I let out a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Like this. When I raised my head and just remembered to hand over the materials, I suddenly felt that the tall and thin man was looking straight at what I had filled in. The tall and thin man coughed, and stretched out his long pointed finger to point at the "Registration" filled out by the boy.

Position", the boy shook his head firmly. The boy didn't know what his shaking head meant. He just felt that his eyes seemed unwilling to fill in "Front Desk" by himself. The boy looked at his face in confusion and couldn't understand anything.

mean?

"Decided! Changed!" The tall and thin man said with an expression on his face, and left the boy's side to collect other people's registration forms.

"Unofficial decision?" This word made Yin Hui's heart move. It was indeed a good trick played by Ma.

"Okay, there are four people who came to sign up today, including the four people who signed up two days ago, there are eight people in total. Everyone is here today. I need to say a few words to you. The profession of a funeral home is quite special, because

Having to face dead bodies often, I guess some of you will not be able to overcome this psychological barrier, so we will conduct certain tests on the candidates who apply for the job, and we will consider retaining those who pass the test!" The tall and thin man said with a pinched voice.
