Chapter 570: Encountered an unexpected incident, update slightly delayed

Encountered an unexpected incident, update slightly delayed.

Let me briefly explain why I failed to update early today.

First, just as I woke up this morning and was preparing to write, I received a WeChat message from my family.

My family had previously passed my resume to a friend, and they said a company HR would reach out to talk to me today.

Although I knew nothing about it, I had to prepare at least a little, and as a result, I wasted time.

Personally, I don't want to go out to work again, but the money I earn from this book is too little, so there's really no other way... Sigh.

The other party is an import and export company in Dalian; they don't do long-term overseas assignments, but they require English communication and such.

I kept writing while waiting for the call, and then the call came in the afternoon; we talked for about half an hour, and at the very least, I didn't show any flaws.

The other party was fairly satisfied, and then they asked me to go to the company for an in-person interview at ten o'clock tomorrow morning...

But the problem is that the place is at least an hour and a half away from my home, so I have to leave early in the morning.

Furthermore, the salary offered doesn't seem high either.

They said a base salary of 5-6k, plus commission, but when I asked about the specific commission percentage, they wouldn't say.

Therefore, in my eyes, these words automatically translate to "a monthly salary of 5k."

This is very pointless.

I might as well start a second book simultaneously; that would also be more than five thousand yuan...

But because it was a connection through my family, I didn't refuse at first and decided to go take a look tomorrow.

As a result, I was thinking about this while writing; the more I thought about it, the angrier and more annoyed I became, and I couldn't even write well.

So, I couldn't stand it anymore, and I checked with my family to ask if refusing directly would have any impact.

The reply I got was: "No problem, it's up to you; it was just a friend anyway."

Although it was a bit awkward, I still called the HR and said I wouldn't go tomorrow.

Because it was hard to refuse directly, I said it was because the commute was too far, plus it was a cross-industry move, and only at the end did I mention the salary.

As a result, they said, "The boss has the idea of building a new office in XX district, and since you were recommended by General Manager XX, the boss attaches great importance to it, so you should still come and take a look."...

Then, I was persuaded and reluctantly agreed.

... But the more I thought about it after hanging up the phone, the more I felt something was wrong.

Before they actually build the office, isn't this just pure pie-in-the-sky talk!

So, I waited ten minutes, called a second time, and in the end, I refused directly.

Alright, I don't have to go tomorrow.

In short, after several twists and turns, I finally got the result I wanted.

Because this matter made me feel agitated, my writing hasn't gone smoothly; I've only written less than four thousand words so far, and there are still over six thousand words left to finish.

Now, I can finally write with peace of mind.

I will strive to update before 8:00 PM; if that doesn't work, then 9:00 PM.

It's a pity, I can only try to update before 12:00 again tomorrow.

This matter was completely unexpected and disrupted my original plan—an unexpected enemy.

Please bear with me—

I'm off to write.
