Many people say that it is a world that looks at faces, and people are good at everything they do.

In fact, it is not just today. The only thing that humans have remained unchanged from ancient times to the present is probably the pursuit of appearance. In ancient my country, if their figure was not up to standard, it would be difficult to even take the imperial examination, let alone become an official.

Especially during the Tang and Song dynasties, the appearance of candidates was extremely strict.

Candidates from all over the country will be selected through the imperial examinations and the second place. After the examination, they will not be directly awarded an official position, but must pass the Ministry of Personnel's selection of officials. This is also the most important step. Only those who pass this step can obtain official positions and take office immediately.

The main criteria for selecting officials in the Ministry of Personnel in the Tang Dynasty were the items of "personal words and writing judgment". Body and appearance rank first. The court believed that officials were the face of the court and represented the dignity of the court, so the requirements for the figure and appearance of officials were stricter. Too tall, short, fat, and ugly, or poor eloquence would affect the candidate's career.

A more typical example is Zhong Kui, a famous talent in the Tang Dynasty.

Legend has it that Zhong Kui went to Beijing for the exam because of his appearance not meeting the standards. He was finally killed in the hall in anger.

During the Tianbao period, after Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty, Li Longji, after preaching martial arts in Mount Li in Lintong, he occasionally suffered from spleen disease and could not be cured for a long time. One night, he dreamed of a great man with a magnificent appearance, caught a little ghost, and then ate him.

The Han claimed that he was "Zhong Kui, who failed the palace examination," and the emperor woke up from his dream and recovered immediately. So he ordered Wu Daozi to make a painting of Zhong Kui catching ghosts in his dream, and hung it in the palace to ward off evil spirits and suppress monsters.

The famous poet Zhang Jiuling was largely the reason for his "body". After he stopped the prime minister, whenever the prime minister recommended the ministers, Emperor Xuanzong of Tang would ask: "Do you be as handsome as Jiuling?

Song Shenzong was even more exaggerated. He actually promoted male actors because he had no other reason, but his appearance was high.

According to "Pingzhou Ketan", this handsome guy is named Wang Jiong, but he is not embarrassed at all. He is quite handsome. His appearance is described in historical records, "a look of bright and cold jade, a spirit of condensed autumn water, and a beautiful posture". He is nicknamed "Qijun Wang Jialang".

Wang Jialang was not only handsome, but also good at singing and dancing. He was a household singer at that time and was the pillar of the Royal Song and Dance Troupe.

But it has not reached the point where both virtue and art are good.

Because of their poor character and not much ink, there is a lot of criticism among the public.

Even so, Prime Minister Cai Que still recommended him as the supervisor and acted as a discipline inspection official. When Emperor Shenzong of Song heard about "Wang Jialang", he happily agreed.

Facts have proved that even if the talents recommended by the same prime minister are very different in the development of handsome guys and ugly guys in the officialdom.

It was this prime minister. Cai Que recommended an extremely talented ugly man to Song Zhezong this time, named Yuan Yingzhong, who was definitely a good learner. This guy not only had a stingy face, but also seemed to have a little disabled, his shoulder blades were a little crooked, and his shoulders were always oblique. Whether sitting or walking, he always looked awkward.

When Song Zhezong saw, Emma, ​​can I still have food in the future? The key is to be sorry to the audience! Zhezong was very unhappy and waved his hand without saying a word and let the ugly man retreat.

These countless examples all prove the importance of appearance.

In today's society, handsome men or beautiful women, not to mention how helpful they are in their careers, they can all enjoy completely different treatments from ugly men and ugly women in daily life.

Huang Tongtong, who is as good as 93 points, has a deep understanding of this.

However, while enjoying the conveniences brought by high appearance, Huang Tongtong has to face the various troubles associated with high appearance, especially in her career, she frequently encounters sexual harassment from her boss and boss.

Huang Tongtong, who was unwilling to accept the unspoken rules, had to change jobs frequently. In the three or four years since she worked, she has changed jobs 18 times, and even 6 cities she worked in.

And just a month ago, she was unemployed again for the same reason.

Now she is 27 years old, and she is at the most critical age for women to get into the workplace. It is becoming increasingly difficult for her to find a suitable job without a boyfriend. The easy job is basically due to her beauty. She no longer wants to repeat her previous work experience over and over again.

Therefore, Huang Tongtong, who had already disliked, decided to return to her hometown of Guizhou Province, find an ordinary job, and then follow her parents' arrangements to find an honest man to marry locally.

Huang Tongtong's hometown is Luancheng Town, Anguang County, directly under the provincial capital. She was chatting with her parents on this day. Since she went to college to work, she rarely had time to stay with her parents in seven or eight years. This is one of the reasons why she decided to leave those first-tier cities and go back to her hometown in Guizhou to develop.

Just as she talked to her parents about what kind of job she wanted to find to do next, Huang Tongtong received a call from her best friend.

As soon as the phone was connected, my best friend's excitement came over.

"Tongtong, you'll rush to the provincial capital now" now!"

"Sasha, didn't I promise you to go to the provincial capital to find you in a few days? Why did you call me and urge me?"

"Tongtong, I tell you that there is a job that is super suitable for you here. Do you want to come and have a look?"

"Is there such an exaggeration? It's very suitable for my job. You don't know my situation yet. I have already hated jobs such as 'secretary' and 'public relations'!"

"Of course I understand. If it is such a position, I can't tell you! Tongtong, what I told you is the manager of a fruit store. Are you interested in this position?"

"Fruit shop...shop manager?"

"Yes, you heard it right, you are the manager of the fruit store. And I tell you that the treatment of this fruit store is so good. I'm afraid that it will be difficult for the entire Guizhou Province to find a job with such treatment. I wonder if you are interested?"

"Sasha, I found that I haven't seen you for two years, and your speaking level has increased. Just the position of a fruit shop manager is going to make you beat you up to heaven!"

"Tongtong, this is really not something I brag about. The basic salary is 10,000 + sales commission + year-end reward + employee dormitory. Are you interested?"

"Tsk, come and find me happy again. You think I am still living in the ivory tower and don't know anything. You have to say lies more reliable. Who would believe such outrageous words!"

"Hey, no wonder you don't believe it. In fact, if I hadn't seen the job advertisement in the fruit store with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it was true!"

Hearing this, Huang Tongtong frowned and said, "Sha, is it true or false? I am really unemployed now. Don't joke about my job!"

"It should be true. I am now at the entrance of that fruit store. The LED scrolling screen above clearly writes the benefits of the fruit store manager and employees. I think there will be no fake!"

"What fruit shop is so awesome? This is Guizhou Province. Even the provincial capital is just a second-tier city. It is incredible to hire a store manager and offer a basic salary of 10,000 yuan and such good benefits, right?"

"Who said no? I remember reading a data before. The salary in our provincial capital of Guizhou Province accounts for more than 40% of the 2,000 to 3,000 yuan, and the monthly salary of more than 10,000 yuan is only a few percent. For example, in those watch stores, jewelry stores and other high-end businesses, many store managers have no income of more than 10,000 yuan!"

"Since the treatment is so good, what else do you want to tell me? Why don't you apply for a job yourself? It's more than enough to be a fruit shop manager with your work ability."

"You think I don't want to, but unfortunately I don't meet the recruitment requirements of other people's fruit shops!"

"What requirements do not meet? Could it be that the manager of this fruit store still requires being single?"

"If this is the requirement, that would be great. At worst, I would kick my house away. Unfortunately, the fruit shop requires a beautiful girl with high looks. This fruit shop owner is a good-looking person (#--)"

“(⊙⊙)”

"Tongtong, to be honest, I really envy you beautiful girls like you. When I was in school, there were countless male classmates competing to show their attention. When they went out to work, major companies would enter as soon as they wanted. Unlike ordinary people like us, it was difficult to find a satisfactory job, and it was really different from the fate of others!"

"Sha, you envy me and I still envy you. After you graduated from school and started working, you have been steady. In the past few years, you have become a small supervisor in the department and have both achieved success in career and love. As for me, I have changed my job 18 times, even 6 in the city, and I am still a single one. I am really fed up with this kind of life!"

"Stop, let's not complain for now. You can hurry up and take the bus to participate in the interview!"

"I won't go, right? It's another position that requires appearance. I'm already tired of this kind of job!"

"Don't, Tongtong, the nature of the work of this fruit store must be different from those you used to do. The boss's high-looking beauty may be related to the positioning of his fruit store, just like a flight attendant.

Let’s not talk about anything else. Although the decoration of this fruit store has not been completely completed yet, it can be seen that this is definitely a very high-end, atmospheric and high-end fruit store. Anyway, I have never seen the decoration of a fruit store so luxuriously!

Besides, such a good job of welfare benefits is definitely unique in our Guizhou Province. Wouldn't it be too stupid to give up such a good opportunity because of some concerns that may not necessarily exist?"

When Huang Tongtong heard this, she felt a little moved in her heart, and she felt that she should not give up such a good opportunity. After hesitating for a moment, she responded: "Okay, you have made sense, then I'll take the bus over and take a look later!"

"That's right, so let's not say much. You can take the bus here quickly and I'll send you a location later!"
Chapter completed!
