阿成正在讀明天午市餐牌,看要把哪些食材從冷凍庫搬到冰箱解凍。保威此時走進來跟阿成打招呼。54Please respect copyright.PENANA9L0U4LmNsZ
54Please respect copyright.PENANAQ0QndyFfeq
「還回來上班,也就是說,你面試失敗?」阿成問。54Please respect copyright.PENANAxPsN5igjeZ
54Please respect copyright.PENANA4HrPfalYCZ
「連門都進不去。」保威搖搖頭。「沒有履歷表。他都沒說要帶履歷表。」他委屈地說。54Please respect copyright.PENANA51R7XiS5Ey
54Please respect copyright.PENANAr2oeSHdQ7a
「不過其他人都帶了?我猜想還有人穿西裝?」54Please respect copyright.PENANAKWfgAbwEFQ
54Please respect copyright.PENANAqpyALa6Fa0
保威瞪大眼:「你偷偷去了?」54Please respect copyright.PENANAKsqyYtYJi8
54Please respect copyright.PENANAiwkZG9TpYl
「我偷偷去了?」阿成誇張地重覆保威的話。「因為你翹班,我昨天在這裡連捱早午晚三更,上班20小時。我偷偷去了?」54Please respect copyright.PENANA8qrS4M2AUH
54Please respect copyright.PENANA8qv4r2s9Xi
「那你怎知道其他人都帶了履歷,還知道他們穿西裝?」54Please respect copyright.PENANAEhPjo4iTwx
54Please respect copyright.PENANAkczOYPXJYU
「我早就說天高office boy不是你想像的office boy。他們送文件也不是開小貨車,而是最新款的Peregrine。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAl6yIQx5d8D
54Please respect copyright.PENANAlfOuoubG8B
保威一臉懵。54Please respect copyright.PENANApgawrcoGBD
54Please respect copyright.PENANALvWi7NU5Bi
「Pe——re——grine,那款自動駕駛汽車。」阿成搖搖頭,想着保威連天高出產的汽車都不懂,面試也一定不會過。54Please respect copyright.PENANAhUsrzC96IU
54Please respect copyright.PENANAFOyswvo20t
「我後來找了間文具店把履歷表打印出來,回去的時候卻說已經滿額。」保威聳聳肩。54Please respect copyright.PENANAnis0K3UoTF
54Please respect copyright.PENANAS9jvaJZrET
「就算沒有滿額,你也進不去⋯⋯話說回來,你怎麼會有履歷表?」應徵快餐店從來不用履歷表,面試也是兩三句帶過。54Please respect copyright.PENANAAszvTgu0Zu
54Please respect copyright.PENANAYnuuX5HkXK
「嘿,你整天說垂頭喪氣的話,世界不會變得更好。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAQQmNRBNToK
54Please respect copyright.PENANACG0jHKvSzl
「好好準備午餐的,卻是我這種說垂頭喪氣話的人,而不是你這種夢想家。過來幫忙啊夢想家。」阿成拿起冰凍堅硬的肉醬汁。54Please respect copyright.PENANADH3XRgXbBW
54Please respect copyright.PENANA0pQxeeFHLF
「昨天沒發生什麼特別事吧?」保威轉了另一個話題。54Please respect copyright.PENANARKtPxHGbzD
54Please respect copyright.PENANAN9UZIEBjKG
阿成想起前晚下班前在後巷遇見的高跟鞋女人。不過話題只要涉及「女人」,保威就會發瘋,就會開始說:男人最重要還是有一個家,有一個可以安心回去的家。54Please respect copyright.PENANAhhVNKCQe4c
54Please respect copyright.PENANA9XqkCLqgCS
阿成於是說:「經理說你再翹班的話就不用再來上班了。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAEYkxyeHJAX
54Please respect copyright.PENANAGjFx8B0pRF
保威不以為然地撥撥手:「不用上班?最好是這樣,誰不知道飲食業長期缺人。阿成,不如你做經理?」54Please respect copyright.PENANAXm1oiseeAO
54Please respect copyright.PENANAzqHrfJI07d
「然後你可以更肆無忌憚翹班?」54Please respect copyright.PENANAMTwxK4rGUq
54Please respect copyright.PENANAPm21lXZYAm
「不,你可以向上爬啊。先是分店餐廳經理,然後是分區餐廳經理,說不定有一天還能入駐總部,在辦公室工作,有自己的房間,關上門想兩個新菜式,其餘時間打打電動,看一下股市。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAv3lItJ8dZz
54Please respect copyright.PENANAeALAs31CPX
「對啊,你應該走這條路才對,為什麼要去天高面試?」54Please respect copyright.PENANAE5DDSHIUpO
54Please respect copyright.PENANAIecg9cmYm6
「我不像你,你有能力,體格強壯,頭腦也好,你只是不想努力。我呢,我就只能靠機遇和運氣翻身。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAuFfauVB5wB
54Please respect copyright.PENANAVnO53ID9KY
這次換阿成冷笑一聲:「一個中英文不及格的人,稱讚另一個中英文不及格的人聰明,真有趣啊。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAg7HUzgaia8
54Please respect copyright.PENANAxQXznc820G
「我們只是不適應填鴨式教育,不等於我們真的笨。」保威頓了頓:「好了,可能我是真的笨,不過你絕對不是。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAmzm1ufz4JN
54Please respect copyright.PENANAMj4rlvE72d
「阿成,有客人找你。」一牆之隔的同事朝廚房窗口往內喊。54Please respect copyright.PENANARXRGGLX0JW
54Please respect copyright.PENANAg2Tge69oeS
有客人找我?——阿成納悶,有誰會找自己呢?但腦海很快浮起穿着高跟鞋的長髮女子的輪廓。54Please respect copyright.PENANA3itborLv7t
54Please respect copyright.PENANAnFFZ7Nvgu8
「舅父!」結果是外甥女扭扭。阿成這才想起,對了今天星期六。輪更工作的壞處是常常忘記當天星期幾。54Please respect copyright.PENANAFcwSWolBVv
54Please respect copyright.PENANAkksHDyQ1s5
「她說一定要來看你。」阿成的二姐說,然後低頭摸女兒頭顱:「你有什麼給舅夫?」54Please respect copyright.PENANADPhFetCpps
54Please respect copyright.PENANAbaxS7RGLo8
扭扭遞出一粒用透明包裝紙包好的果汁軟糖,葡萄味。54Please respect copyright.PENANACZMRDzn1kQ
54Please respect copyright.PENANAdDYSxHaQ8E
「我們約了Connie姨姨飲茶。」二姐說。Connie是二姐初中開始認識的好朋友。54Please respect copyright.PENANAcMoUxjSk2J
54Please respect copyright.PENANAJyRndTvqiL
「那好吧。」阿成把果汁軟糖放進褲袋,接着他低聲跟二姐說:「不要帶她來了,又不是什麼光彩的工作。」二姐苦笑一下,牽着扭扭離開。54Please respect copyright.PENANAg7phcJvHMo
54Please respect copyright.PENANAICgfGgeIHF
「想像一下是你老婆帶着女兒來找你,那畫面多美好啊!」回到廚房,保威用力拍着阿成的肩膊說。阿成不意外,只要遇上女人和小孩,保威就會自動腦補出和諧美好家庭的畫面。54Please respect copyright.PENANAKr6CKzM0NU
54Please respect copyright.PENANAZbrmX2QUKp
昨天因為保威翹班,阿成多上一更,經理讓他星期六休半天,不是體貼,而是星期天不夠人,怕阿成病倒。阿成不會無故翹班,但只要一發燒,不管經理說什麼,他都不願離開床。54Please respect copyright.PENANAmZPZNutvgT
54Please respect copyright.PENANAmBd1N3HUVB
下午兩點剛過,阿成脫掉圍裙和膠帽子,換掉黑色膠靴,穿回他的舊球鞋。就在他離開快餐店,走在街上掏出煙盒時,有人喊他的全名:「龐萬成。」54Please respect copyright.PENANAGcxgX7MLK0
54Please respect copyright.PENANA23mL05fqXo
那晚的香水氣味,真刺鼻。阿成心想。他逕自為這種氣味取名為八婆香水。這些女人怎麼不明白,塗抹這種香水算是空氣污染。
