Chapter 13 When Doom Knocks 1
It is not an exaggeration to say that Cheng Mei’s past life experience is a tragic history.
She had encountered such small things as stuffing her teeth with ice cream and choking on yogurt more than once. Although she was careful every time, she still couldn't avoid getting entangled in these messy things.
She hated her own bad luck.
Just like today, she just saw that the big advertising flyer at the door of the store was about to fall down, and wanted to help her former colleague Wu Xiaofang.
Although the advertising flyer was very light and would not hurt anyone if it fell, a lot of dust must have accumulated on it. Her initial idea was good. As long as she used her arm to help Wu Xiaofang block the advertising flyer, the other party would not have to eat the dust.
Who would have thought that as soon as she passed by, the shelf supporting the advertising flyer also fell down. They were unable to save her, but both of them were hit by the advertising shelf.
Before she fainted, Cheng Mei was still thinking that if she hadn't come over, the advertising shelf wouldn't have fallen down, and her colleagues wouldn't have been hit.
After waking up, she felt very depressed, even a little desperate. And all this reached its peak after seeing the environment the two of them were in. They should have been sent to the hospital, but what about the current environment?
It all looks like a small clinic. Needless to say, something must have happened because she was here.
Seeing how Cheng Mei looked around the clinic environment after waking up, a man in a suit and leather shoes stood up quickly and said with a sorry smile: "I'm sorry, although this is a bit outrageous, but the ambulance from the nearby hospital was indeed there as soon as I called.
Minutes ago, they were all occupied. It was too late to send them to the hospital that was too far away. I was worried about their physical condition, so I sent them here in a hurry.
By the way, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Chen Yunjie, and I am the owner of Dingfeng Advertising, the same store where the billboard fell and accidentally hit you."
When Chen Yunjie said this, seeing that neither Cheng Mei nor Wu Xiaofang had any reaction and just stared at him, he quickly added: "I have the billboards in my store regularly checked by the master. Speaking of which, I checked them once the day before yesterday.
I didn't expect that something went wrong today. I'm really sorry for you two. It was my negligence. I will make sure to check it regularly next time. Don't worry about your medical expenses and the cost of various examinations. I will definitely cover them all."
Cheng Mei listened to what he said, but her thoughts couldn't help but drift elsewhere.
When the other party mentioned "inspection", she remembered that in the other three companies she had worked for before the company she had just left, the reason they fired her was that the documents she prepared were not careful enough and there were errors.
There were errors in punctuation and text. Afterwards, she checked word for word many times, but she didn't find any problems.
Even if she found someone else to check her later, the result would be the same, but no matter what, she was still fired.
Before joining all the companies she had worked for, she had attended more interviews than she could count on her hands times her feet.
Among them, according to her own incomplete statistics, there were at least fifty-five times when she filled out her personal information and went for an interview. After asking her a bunch of questions, the other party would tactfully tell her that they had hired someone.
Then every time, she would perfectly miss the scheduled time for the next interview with another company.
It’s not that she doesn’t know how to make ample time arrangements, but there are various reasons every time. For example, the journey is too far, and no matter what kind of transportation is available, it’s too late. Even if she gets there in the end, her company will happen to be there.
Got off work early.
In all these situations, whether it is going to work, or interviews before going to work, etc., Cheng Mei will always encounter various problems and resistance.
It's not like she hasn't thought about finding an expert to get some lucky accessories to carry with her, but these are of no use at all.
Not only that, those who sell her good luck accessories will have bad luck one after another on the day they meet her or afterwards.
For example, while walking, you are suddenly hit by a bicycle rushing out from the roadside.
Driving on the road, the car in front of them backed up without warning, bumped into the front of their car, etc.
As for the incident where a bird suddenly broke into the house and dropped daddy on their heads, compared to the incident where a group of people helped others collect debts and hit the wrong person, it was already very mild...
The thing that made Cheng Mei the most desperate was that a few months ago, a passerby told her that she had lost her wallet and mobile phone in a taxi, and wanted to borrow 100 yuan from her to pay for the trip home. This was a rare opportunity for her.
When someone asked me for help, I agreed without thinking. Unexpectedly, the person took the money, thanked him and left, but not long after, there was a car accident on the road outside, and the accident happened.
The person who caused the car accident was the person who borrowed money from her.
This incident made her feel guilty for a long time, wondering if the money had been around her, contaminating her with bad luck and causing the other party to suffer.
Later, a few days later, people from the police station found her during a routine investigation and told her that the person was a habitual liar. They also returned the money that the person defrauded her of and asked her to help make a record as evidence.
After knowing the truth, the guilt in her heart was reduced a lot.
But Cheng Mei always thought afterwards that she was only defrauded of a hundred yuan, so she wouldn't let the other party get into a car accident as retribution! This was too exaggerated.
Another time, which was even more outrageous, she went to a barber shop to get her hair done, but within a few days, the shop was completely empty.
According to people around, the store had just opened and spent a lot of time on renovations. However, it closed down within a few days of opening. Maybe there was something dirty in the store.
The rumors spread so wildly that it was not until a year later that the store was successfully sublet.
Cheng Mei still remembers when she was in school. In the year of her high school entrance examination, the admission score for No. 1 Middle School in the city was 521, and then she took the test with 518. Later, due to the small number of students admitted to the high-scoring ladder, the score dropped a little.
Arrived at 518.
However, because her test number was at the lower end of the city, she was the lowest among the city's 518 points. Therefore, she was the only one who scored 518 points in the high school entrance examination that year but was not admitted to the No. 1 Middle School.
The college entrance examination is more interesting. Before the holidays, the school specifically told all senior high school students that if they receive their admission notice, they will be contacted by phone to pick it up at school.
Then, most of the fresh graduates of that year received phone calls to pick up their admission letters from the school as scheduled. Even those who couldn't get through on the phone were contacted by acquaintances at the school, but they were left behind.
Mei is alone.
She made several phone calls to the school along the way, but the teacher responsible for receiving the notice was stunned and said no.
Then, three days before the school she applied for started, she contacted a teacher at the school and found a stack of notices with her name on it.
