One day, a confused Chris was smiling at people on the street, and he curiously stopped a man and asked him, what do you do, how do you work? Passers-by laughed and said that I was a stockbroker. Chris looked at the man's super happy look, and he wanted to have it too. So he went to the company to apply for an internship, but his education was not high, and the company did not want him. He waited for the opportunity downstairs in the company every day, and finally waited for the personnel manager, sent the resume to the manager, waited for a long time, and still had no news. Unwilling to give up, he went downstairs to the company to wait for the manager. In order to be able to talk to him more, he lied that he also wanted to take a taxi, and by the way, after getting on the car he has been introducing himself, but the manager did not pay attention to him, bent on playing with the Rubik's Cube in his hand, and said that no one could put it all right, Chris and the manager bet that he would recover before getting off the car, the manager did not believe it, but soon the manager was surprised to see the restored Rubik's Cube in Chris's hand, he looked at the young man for the first time, and he got out of the car with the Rubik's Cube in disbelief. But Chris had no money to pay the fare, he could only apologize while fleeing in a hurry, the driver chased after him, and could only escape to the subway, but one step too late, the scanner was clipped outside the subway door and rolled down, and the living expenses for a month were gone. The wife is divorced, Chris insists on bringing the children home, and in the evening Chris receives an interview call, it seems that a good life is coming, but the landlord comes to urge the rent, and he thinks that the house is painted and graced for a week. One day, the police came to the door, because of a long period of time without paying the fine and detained, he can only be willing to beg his wife to take care of the children, but the next day Chris ran to the interview because it was too late to change clothes, the interviewers were surprised, he smiled and shook hands with everyone, he sincerely explained that he was detained because he failed to pay the ticket, the boss asked him, If Chris did not even run to the interview with a shirt, what would you think? What would you do if you ended up hiring this person? Chris replied that the pants he was wearing must have been very elaborate. His excellent on-the-spot adaptability won him an internship opportunity, the internship period of half a year is no salary, Chris was helplessly driven out by the landlord, can only live in the motel. The internship period has begun, it is difficult to stay, only one of the 20 interns can be left, and it depends on the grades and performance. Chris had to finish someone else's nine-hour job in six hours, leaving time to pick up his son. Chris smiles every day in the face of customer insults, managers are difficult, but Chris is always diligent and hardworking. Everything seemed to be fine, but bad luck also followed, when they returned to the hotel, received the government tax bill, he went bankrupt, he could only hope for the last machine, but did not expect to be broken, because of the rent that had been owed for too long, the boss threw out his things, he and the child were homeless, he looked at his son who had suffered with him, his heart was very unhappy, so he started a game with his son, compared the scanner to a time machine, returned to ancient times, used the toilet as a cave, hid in it to hide from the T-Rex, This brought the tired son to the spirit. A sad Chris sat on the ground with his sleeping son in his arms, they could only live in the toilet tonight, there was a constant knock on the door outside, he could only cover his son's ears, helpless tears, and finally flowed down without argument.
The examination finally came, he quickly answered the exam questions, ran downstairs just met the boss, the boss borrowed him five dollars, which is nothing to others, but it was his biggest property, but he still lent it to the boss. Desperate, he went to sell blood, bought parts with the money from the blood sale, repaired the machine, and luck finally came, he sold the scanner, had the money, and finally took his son to live in the hotel. The results of the internship were announced, and he had been very calm when he heard his boss call him to the office, he was nervous, but he still quipped that he should come in a shirt, the last day. The boss said to him, then wear a shirt tomorrow, because tomorrow will be your day, will you, Chris? Chris struggled to keep his eyes open, trying not to let the tears flow out. He strode out of the office, excited that he couldn't even hold the pen steadily, he rushed out of the company's street, he couldn't remember where to go, no one in the crowd could share the joy with him, he himself raised his hands to applaud himself, his hands covered his mouth and wept, happiness was finally knocking on his door.
Finally, the father and son walked leisurely down the street, finally no longer in such a hurry, and the warm sun sprinkled on them. What I remember most is what Chris said to his son: Don't let others tell you that you can't become talented, if you have a dream, you have to defend it, if you have an ideal, you must try to achieve it.
