There was a colleague who looked a lot like him. He comes from an ordinary working family and a small town in the middle of his hometown. After graduating from university, she wandered around Shanghai and Beijing with a three-inch tongue. She was always able to negotiate twice the salary of her colleagues during the interview. She did a lot of chores, and was loved by female bosses wherever she went. Why? Because they come from grass roots, but they are good at "deception" - not really deceive people, but more street smarts.
I once witnessed this person enter the sales office, stun the more sophisticated sales ladies, and befriend the taxi driver. I was a stupefied college graduate at the time, troubled by various interpersonal relationships and dealing with people in society (I couldn’t do such things well, and I was always embarrassed when dealing with people). So I met the best teacher, and when I went out with him, I always followed him greedily and learned his every move. I thought all the problems in my life were due to my poor social skills, and that as long as I learned this street skills, everyone would like me and I would be successful.
Jimmy once told me that after graduating from college, he plunged into Shanghai, trying to make a name for himself there. If I remember correctly, a student who graduated from a certain university, with his excellent eloquence and wit, can easily find a job doing data analysis in a financial company. But like all slipping jimmy's, the life of a down-to-earth job is hell, and soon he starts to be lazy, grind foreign workers, and think about changing to a higher-paying job. Eight months later, he was unemployed and unemployed for three long months in Shanghai. In the end, all he had in his pocket was the money for a ticket home.
The dream of Shanghai was broken, and then he came to Beijing, hoping to start over in another big city. He said he wanted to go back to Shanghai in the end, where he wanted to get back on his feet - to prove that he never lost. It is a pity that this idea has not been realized so far. The last news I heard was that his girlfriend left him and went back to his hometown in Henan for a blind date. He moved from Tongzhou, Beijing to Xihongmen, where the rent is lower, and still slipping Jimmy.
I owe him a big thank you. Slipping Jimmy taught me the course of society.
