Chapter 7 Professor Russell
In order to save his life, Annick's mobility has improved enough. He went to find the office of the Department of Grammar. The tutor might point him there.
The Department of Grammar is located in the southwest corner of Eggsburg. Occasionally on weekends, students still pass by with books in their arms. There are also young couples on a date on the benches in the shade, with rose-colored heart-shaped bubbles.
It's really the sour smell of love that rises above their heads.
The teachers' office building is a three-story building. After Annick entered the office building with his student ID card, he found his tutor's office.
"Dong dong dong, Mr. Russell, are you there?" Since it was a day off, Annick didn't know whether the old gentleman was there, so he knocked on the door with a chance.
"Gah..." With the sound, the door opened, and an energetic old man wearing formal clothes and holding an ivory pipe stood in front of Jiang Yangshuo. The delicate old man in front of him was his mentor Russell.
"Little Annick, did you come to me today to find a job after graduation?" Mr. Russell smiled and let himself into the office. He pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for him to sit down. He really didn't know how to speak, so he happened to go down the slope.
The donkey answered,
"Yes, Mr. Russell, I am also worried about going there to make a living in the future. Do you have any suggestions?"
In an era when there were no job fairs or X-link recruitment, if you had no family background and went home to inherit the family property after graduation, a recommendation letter from your mentor was a stepping stone to finding a good job. Judging from Mr. Russell’s willingness to take the initiative to give a recommendation letter, this veteran
The professor still likes his student very much.
"I have three suggestions. They are to take the regional government secretary exam this fall. The second school has three teaching assistant vacancies this year. Originally, only two teaching assistants retired, and one disappeared some time ago. You can compete.
Finally, the sub-bureau under the Gonia District Police Department is short of a civilian position. The director is my teacher’s old friend for many years. You can go to him with my letter of recommendation.”
The instructor gave some advice after thinking about it. Annick thought that if he took the exam with his current poor academic level, he would probably show off his skills if he stayed as a teaching assistant. It would be safer to get a civilian job, and he could legally hold a gun.
Having a weapon in hand is somewhat comforting.
"Teacher, the students are stupid. What are the advantages and disadvantages of these three jobs? Please tell the students again." Although I already like the third one, I still need to show humility.
Mr. Russell pointed to the small copper stove by the window and said: "Pour me a cup of tea, and you can have a cup yourself. You have been to my place many times. You are not polite. Let's drink and talk."
The tea from Bruguet is more similar to the fermented tea on earth. The tea soup is brownish red when brewed and slightly bitter. It seems that milk tea has not been invented yet.
After pouring a cup of tea for his tutor and himself, Mr. Russell took a sip and continued: "In addition to the written test, the government exam also has interviews. This year's recruitment of secretaries is less than in previous years. There are many children of senior politicians who plan to take the exam. You
If you are confident about your interview, you can give it a try.”
It seems that the instructor is implying that it will be difficult for him to pass the interview without deep political resources. It seems that no matter where in the world, connections are a huge resource.
"The school teaching assistant is a better choice. You are always hard-working and have academic spirit. Because this school is recruiting, I can't give you a letter of introduction in person, but the teachers responsible for recruiting are familiar with you. The disadvantage is that you are an academic person.
You may be a bit poor, the weekly salary offered by the school is only 4 pounds."
Having less money is not a problem, it’s just that the person standing in front of you, the tutor, is just a scumbag, not the top student in your memory. Annick complained in his heart.
"The third one is a civil servant in the police station. The branch chief also graduated from the same school. He has some friendship with the teacher. The advantage is that he is paid 5 pounds a week. The disadvantage is that he has to work eight days a week and the work is harder than that of a teaching assistant. Do you think
If so, I will write you a letter of recommendation now."
Annick made some calculations in his mind. Based on the purchasing power of the world, the police salary is almost more than 200 yuan a day, which is enough for a white-collar worker.
I didn’t expect the salary here to be higher than on earth, but when I thought about the world where a bachelor’s degree has not depreciated, my mentality became more balanced. “Sir, you also know my family background. I have two younger sisters studying at home. I want to earn more.
I’ll make some money to support my family. Although it’s a pity that I can’t stay in school and live with my husband, I will still visit you often when I have time.”
Annick expressed his idea of going to the police station in a subtle way. Firstly, his background as a scumbag would not be exposed, and secondly, he could sneak into a violent organization to protect his identity as a time traveler.
"Okay, you wait here, I will write you a letter now," Mr. Russell put out the pipe in his hand, picked up the pen and started writing on the desk. About five minutes later, a letter was written and put in an envelope.
inside.
After sealing it with fire paint, Mr. Russell stamped it with his seal. After getting the letter of recommendation, Annick respectfully kept it and put it in the inner pocket of his close-fitting coat.
After refilling the tutor's cup of tea, he continued: "Teacher, do you think there really are gods in this world? Is there really any extraordinary power?"
Many professors at the university are atheists, and the instructor Russell in front of me is only a casual believer in the God of Winter. When the courses are busy, he will occasionally be absent on Sundays.
"Why are you interested in this? The creation of gods and religions is actually to satisfy the needs of human souls for comfort. After material desires are satisfied, humans always need some spiritual comfort. As for extraordinary power, haha, there are still weird stories among you students.
Don't believe it. I can only say that there are indeed a few lucky people who can get God's preference. Your father is not retired from the army. I believe you will get a satisfactory answer if you go back and ask him. But getting preference will also require sacrifices that ordinary people can't imagine.
price."
Mr. Russell replied with a smile. "Well, if there is nothing else, you can come again next time. I am going to find an old friend to play polo. I will write a letter to the Gonia District Police Department. You will be next."
Go for the interview on Monday."
Mr. Russell issued an eviction order and expressed his gratitude to the enthusiastic old gentleman again. Annick walked out of the university and worked hard all morning. The midday sun shone on the street, and the dark clouds in his heart dispersed a little.
