I dreamt that my old friend Johnson visited me. He now works at a company called "Jazzirang."
Johnson mentioned that his company usually pays salaries on the 1st of the month. Tomorrow is the 31st, a Friday. He wants me to pretend to be their HR manager and call the bank, asking them to advance his payment to tomorrow. Johnson explained that his wife has control over all his money, and he needs to get paid tomorrow to cover living expenses. Otherwise, he’ll have to wait until next Monday, which would be too late.
Before Johnson approached me, I was at my company getting ready for a class. My colleague Cindy was also in the classroom. The teacher hadn't arrived yet, so I was wandering around the room. I noticed some small books on the desk, including two children's stories about fish. When I received Johnson’s message asking for help, I left the classroom.
First, I went to the high school administrative office to get the bank's payroll contact number. At the classroom, I greeted my classmates Ruby and Rose briefly.
At the admin office, I found out that the person in charge of bank payroll transfers was my middle school classmate Olivia. We chatted a bit; she wanted to talk more, but I needed to handle this issue before the bank closed. So, I said goodbye to Olivia.
After leaving the school, I crossed the street but didn't go to the bank. Instead, I went back to my home in Tianmu to make the call. However, the house was empty, and my voice echoed. So, I decided I needed to find a better place to call the bank.
The person who answered the call at the bank was my former colleague Daniel. He has a great sense of humor, but I couldn’t let him recognize my voice. Pretending to be an employee of "Jazzirang," I told him I needed to speak with the payroll officer, hoping they could advance the salary payment.
Before I could hear back from the bank on how they would handle the request, I woke up.
夢見老朋友 Johnson 來找我,他現在在一家公司叫做「爵子讓」。
Johnson 說他們公司一般是 1 號發薪水。明天是 31 日、週五。他希望我假裝是他們公司的人事主管,幫他打電話給銀行,請他們明天提前撥款。Johnson 說他的錢全部都被老婆扣住,他希望明天可以領到錢,才可以去支付生活相關的費用。不然他得等到下週一才能拿到薪水,就太晚了。
Johnson 來找我之前,我本來在公司正準備要上課,同事 Cindy 也在課堂裡。老師還沒來,我在課堂裡晃。看到桌上有些小書,其中有兩本關於魚的童話故事。因為我收到 Johnson 傳來 "請你幫忙" 的訊息,所以我就離開課堂。
我要先到高中教務處拿銀行薪資轉帳的電話。在教室那邊,看到同學 Ruby 和 Rose,簡單打聲招呼。
來到教務處,負責銀行薪資轉帳的人員剛好是國中同學 Olivia。我和她小聊了一下,她本來想跟我多聊,但我得要趕在銀行下班前,把這件事情辦好。我就和 Olivia 告別。
離開學校,我過了個馬路,可是我又沒有去銀行,反而回到天母的家,準備打電話來處理這件事情。但家裡面已經空無一物,講話會有回音。所以我就想我得要找個適當的地方,打電話給銀行。
銀行端接電話的是我的老同事 Daniel,他講話很幽默,可是我又不能讓他聽出是我的聲音。反正我就是假冒「爵子讓」的員工,跟他說我要找銀行負責薪資轉帳的人員,希望他們能夠提前做薪資轉帳作業。
然後我還沒有等到銀行回覆要如何處理,我就醒了。
