Chapter 1 Sleeping on the Streets if You Can't Find a Job
"Zhang Beichuan, you are such a good guy. You ran away from home without saying a word and went to school in District 11 for five years. Now you have graduated and you are not coming back? Do you still have a sister like me in your eyes?"
"Sister, I'm not a child now, I just want to find a job here to fulfill my dream." Zhang Beichuan moved the goods again and again, wiped his sweat and said to his mobile phone.
"Dream? How much have you paid for this dream? My parents are gone, and now I only have you as my biological brother." Zhang Zilin's voice was choked with sobs.
"I know." Zhang Beichuan said, "Sister, you are giving me two years. If I haven't achieved anything in two years, I will go back."
Zhang Zilin was silent for a moment. She knew that she could not persuade this younger brother who had had ideas since childhood, and said: "Come back when you are tired. Sister, this will always be your home."
"I know."
...
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Beichuan was a little dazed. After a long time, he sighed.
It has been almost five years since I came to District 11. I have worked so hard to graduate from this school. How could I give up because of something?
Zhang Beichuan grew up in China. He originally had a happy family. He had a sister who was twenty years older than him. He was the son of his parents, who loved him very much. However, misfortunes never come singly. His parents died when he was young.
A car accident is not a natural disaster, it is an illness.
My father had lung cancer, and my mother passed away a year after my father passed away.
Therefore, Zhang Beichuan grew up with his sister Zhang Zilin since he was a child. His sister and brother-in-law were also very kind to Zhang Beichuan, and Zhang Beichuan was also treated by other families. However, the better his sister treated him, Zhang Beichuan could not let go. Deep in his heart, Zhang Beichuan could not let go.
I don't want to trouble my sister, I feel like I am just a drag, maybe this is hypocrisy, my sister is indeed my relative, but after all, I am not my parents.
In junior high school, Zhang Beichuan always stayed alone in his room. By chance, he saw an animation on TV, an animation from District 11. He still remembered the channel - Star TV! The animation was called "Dragon Ball"!
At this moment, Zhang Beichuan was fascinated by animation, this magical and magnificent world. Every night, he would always wait on this stage. Although there were only a few episodes, he would always watch it over and over without getting tired of it.
At that moment, he made up his mind in his heart that I would also make this in the future. For this reason, he treated himself with the requirement of becoming an original painter.
When he knew that painting was needed to do this, he began to teach himself painting. When self-study could not satisfy him, he even troubled his sister to enroll him in a painting class.
When he needed to learn software, he took his brother-in-law's computer and started learning on his own.
After the high school graduation party, he secretly came to District 11 to attend the Animation Production University without telling his sister, because Zhang Beichuan could study here!
There are some in China that are not as bad as this one, but their reputation is never as good as here.
When he arrived in District 11, he started working to earn money to study and study here. The most uncomfortable thing was the language problem. Although Zhang Beichuan had learned a lot of Japanese before coming here, he had no problem speaking in basic terms, but it was difficult when it came to advanced matters.
understood.
I have no choice but to study at the same time.
But he finally got over it. Just half a month ago, he finally graduated from animation university with good grades. It was only half a month after graduation that Zhang Beichuan still had not found a job in an animation company.
Zhang Beichuan has participated in many interviews, both large and small, but because he is a foreigner, it has always been difficult to find a job. I don’t know where my sister got the news about Zhang Beichuan’s graduation, and she wanted him to return to China to work, so she came up with this
Telephone..
"Kitagawa-kun, are you sick? Are you looking bad?" Ryuta Torii, the store manager who works part-time, saw that Zhang Beichuan looked bad and said.
Hearing this, Zhang Beichuan said: "Sorry, store manager, I was thinking about the interview. I'm very sorry."
"It's okay, Kitagawa-kun, you have an interview in the afternoon, right?" Torii Ryuta asked.
"Yes, so I'm afraid I won't be able to come this afternoon."
"Go ahead, I'll ask Xiaobra to take over for you in the afternoon." Torii Ryūta said with a generous smile.
"Thank you, store manager."
Zhang Beichuan was very respectful to Torii Ryuta, the store manager. Without him, Zhang Beichuan would have starved to death as soon as he came here. At that time, Zhang Beichuan had just come here and couldn't even find a job. He happened to have money to pay for tuition.
He was naked and almost slept on the street. The store manager Torii Ryutai gave Zhang Beichuan a job and introduced him to a very cheap place to work and stay. He was the owner of a ramen shop, so Zhang Beichuan was also there.
I worked here part-time for four years.
Torii Ryuta chuckled and said, "Since it's an interview, you should prepare quickly. I have always seen Kitagawa-kun's efforts. I wish you success."
"Thank you, manager, for your blessing. I'll leave first," Zhang Beichuan said.
Zhang Beichuan walked out of his place of work, checked the time, and took the tram back to his rented apartment. He said that the apartment was just a small house, and all the space was occupied by a small workbench. As for the sleeping place, Zhang Beichuan
Kitagawa usually sleeps in the small cabinet next to it, just like the small cabinet where Doraemon usually sleeps.
From inside the bag, Zhang Beichuan carefully looked for a suit. This suit was bought specially for something when he first arrived in District 11. For this reason, Zhang Beichuan had to eat instant noodles for more than two months.
It's just that the clothes don't fit properly now. It's not a problem with the figure, but with the height. He is now much taller than before, but there is nothing he can do about it. Zhang Beichuan doesn't have the extra funds to buy another one.
"Let me take a look at the company I'm going to interview with this afternoon. It seems to be called Musashino Animation Production Company." Zhang Beichuan checked the interview letter.
Musashino Animation Company is also a famous animation company, but it has begun to decline in recent years.
After simply buying a lunch box from a convenience store, Zhang Beichuan got on the train and headed to the interview location.
This is a small building with four buildings. Zhang Beichuan came inside.
Zhang Beichuan turned on his mobile phone to look at the location of his interview, and said to himself: "It should be right here."
"Um...Hello, are you here for an interview too?"
Zhang Beichuan suddenly heard a girl's voice coming from behind him, and saw a girl wearing a suit speaking behind him. She had a very cute appearance, with brown hair and long legs exposed, but her face was very nervous.
Seeing Zhang Beichuan looking at her, Miyamori Aoi said nervously: "Hello, my name is Miyamori Aoi, and I'm here for an interview."
"Hello, my name is Zhang Beichuan, and I'm also here to apply."
Zhang Beichuan couldn't help but take a look. He was cute. Well, he took another look. Well, he was very cute.
but...
Zhang Beichuan sighed sadly in his heart. His livelihood was almost gone, how could he still think about this?
"Is Kitagawa-kun from China?" Miyamori Aoi asked curiously.
"Well, I came here specifically to learn animation production."
"It's really hard work, it must be very hard."
"It's okay, we're here."
Beichuan looked around and saw that there were many people around, probably all here to apply for jobs.
"Kitagawa-kun, there are a lot of people here." Miyamori Aoi looked unhappy and even a little nervous.
"Relax."
To be honest, Zhang Beichuan was very nervous, but after all, he had been interviewed countless times. Although he failed every time, his mental quality had been somewhat tempered.
