Jiang Yitao felt that his life had fallen into gloom because he failed in the graduation examination held at the newly renamed Ming National Capital University. There were nearly a thousand people, and there were only more than 60 students who failed, and he was one of them.
Three years ago, he was admitted to the Capital University from Hejian Prefecture. He was a proud man. Countless neighbors came to his home to congratulate him. The scene is still vivid in his mind. But today, three years later, he is nothing.
If he can't get a college diploma, he has no hope of entering the officialdom, and how he will live in the future will be a problem. Don't even think about returning to his hometown. Returning to his hometown like this is simply more uncomfortable than killing him.
If I had known this, it would have been better not to go to college, but to go directly to a specialist department in the uterine delivery system, so that I could have a job. Now that I am a college dropout, I really have no way to go to heaven, no way to go to earth, and my life has nothing to do with it.
Hope.
After the list came out, Jiang Yitao didn't even return to his dormitory. He was like a walking zombie, wandering aimlessly on the streets of the capital. Several times, he was almost hit by a carriage on the road, which attracted countless curses.
As night fell, except for the shops along the street and the lanterns on the road, everything else was dark. Unconsciously, he arrived at the door of a tavern.
Let's get drunk! With this thought in mind, he walked into the pub.
I ordered a pot of the cheapest liquor, poured it into a bowl, and took a sip. It was really spicy, so spicy that it was hard to swallow. I really couldn’t do anything. I couldn’t even get drunk because the wine was spicy.
arrive.
Holding back the spiciness, he prepared to get himself drunk no matter what.
"How was your visit to the Business College today?"
"Hey! Don't mention it. When I arrived at the school gate, the concierge was very polite and let me in, but after going to several classes, no one paid any attention to me."
"Me too, the Engineering College didn't even let me in. What the tutor said was very interesting. He said that this is a place for cultivating talents for the emperor. How can we, a private businessman, join in the fun? Can't we just poach the emperor's corner?
"
"It's nothing to be annoying. You haven't seen the way those students behave. They don't look at each other seriously! Who do they think they are? The college students in Beijing are not necessarily like them. Really,
When they come to our exchange, as long as they pass the assessment, the monthly salary is at least five taels of silver dollars. When they go to work in the palace, how can they get so much money in the beginning? They don't make much money and look down on people. They deserve to be poor.
"
"Besides, there aren't many people who can pass the government accounting examination now! How about we try our luck with some junior high school kids?"
"Forget it, the government accountant registration exam is difficult. Junior high school kids will definitely not be able to handle it."
The two people at the next table started complaining even before they had a drink, which made Jiang Yitao even more upset. What kind of world is this? The college and technical secondary school students in the palace looked down upon jobs with a salary of five or two months.
He was also a college student who was admitted to the best university in the world, but he had no way to survive!
By the way, what kind of accountant are they talking about? The monthly salary is so high? The government still needs to assess it? Jiang Yitao couldn't help but become curious. He turned around and said to the two people who were full of complaints: "Brothers, where are you recruiting accountants?
of?"
The two people who were complaining at the wine table were originally very angry at the person who interrupted their conversation, but after seeing what Jiang Yitao was wearing, they quickly calmed down. This person was wearing a university uniform, so he should be a college student.
One of them quickly said seriously: "Bachelor Master Rong Bing, we are from the Tianjin Zhengfa Stock Exchange. We came to the capital to recruit foreign accountants for our exchange."
"Oh! I heard you said that the accountant still needs to go to the government for assessment?"
"Master Bachelor may not be aware that our exchange handles large amounts of money. The government is afraid of trouble, so it specifically stipulates that all accounting offices assigned to monitor accounts must go to the government to take an assessment and pass the reserve registration before they can be sent out.
.In doing so, we are also responsible for the people who invested money.”
"Is the government assessment difficult? Why is it so difficult to recruit people?"
"How to say this, it depends on the person. It must be difficult for ordinary people, but it is definitely not difficult for people like the bachelor."
"Huh? I'll go with you. How much monthly salary can you give me?" Jiang Yitao was a little drunk with half a bowl of wine, and his mind began to revolve around money. What do you do, isn't it just for money? Those classmates of his have just been divided
When you get to your job, you still can’t get a salary of five taels of silver dollars! Why can’t you make big money by yourself?
The staff of the two exchanges were stunned by Jiang Yitao's words. Are you kidding? You are a college student, how can we recruit you? "Master, bachelor, you are kidding! How dare we recruit you from our small temple?"
"I'm not a bachelor, I'm just a college dropout. I can't get a serious diploma. What are you two doing? Just tell me whether I can go and how much monthly salary you can give me."
"Master, do you really want to come to our exchange to do the accounting? You're not just trying to keep me waiting, are you?"
"What are you doing to trick you? I've told you, I'm not a master, I'm just a loner who can't graduate."
"May I ask what your name is?"
"If your surname is Jiang, why are you talking about so much useless stuff? Just ask me if I can be an accountant and how much is my monthly salary?"
"Since Mr. Jiang asked, I boldly said that regardless of whether you can pass the government accounting examination, our exchange will give you a monthly salary of five taels of silver dollars. If you can pass the government accounting examination, the monthly salary will be at least given to you.
"Ten taels." The exchange clerk who spoke also worked hard. He actually couldn't make the decision on the salary of ten taels of silver dollars, but he felt that if he recruited a college student, the manager of the exchange would definitely agree to such a salary.
The salary is not for anything else, just because of the name of a college student. College students who are out of school are also college students. However, if you look at the exchanges in Tianjin, there is no exchange that has college student accountants.
"Okay! Wait for me at the gate of Capital University tomorrow, and I will go with you! Remember, as long as you pass the accounting examination, and the monthly salary is 10 taels, don't try to trick me." Jiang Yitao was very confident about the accounting examination, because he was from the university.
His major was mathematics. It was because he studied such a deceptive major as mathematics that he got the lowest grades and failed in the graduation exam, not because he was stuck in college and couldn't graduate.
"Mr. Jiang, how about this? We will book a room for you in a nearby hotel, and we will go with you to pick up your luggage at the Capital University tomorrow, so as not to cause inconvenience when the time comes." The staff of the exchange were mainly afraid of missing someone tomorrow.
If you can't find this guy, you'll be happy for nothing.
Staying in a hotel? Jiang Yitao hesitated for a moment, but then he thought about it. He had to face those classmates who had received diplomas when he returned to the dormitory. It would be better to stay in a hotel, since he didn't have to pay for it himself. "Okay! It's up to you."
"
When the two of them saw that Jiang Yitao had agreed, they were overjoyed. They quickly ran to the front desk of the tavern, settled all the bills for their own table and Jiang Yitao's table, and then led the people to check out a room.
