Chapter 1 (1/2)
Huaxia, Qizhou, 2:00 p.m.
On the 13th floor of a dilapidated apartment building, in a rental house of less than 10 square meters, a depressed young man sat beside the bed with his eyes distracted, holding a fake mobile phone in his hands.
Just now he received three calls in a row. His mood had already fallen to the bottom, and the whole person was immersed in decadent mood.
The first call came from KFC restaurant. The HR manager said politely, ”CHEN Ye, I'm sorry. After comprehensive evaluation, you can't pass the summer work test. The salary is settled until 1 pm. Please find another job.”
The second phone call was from the landlady. The landlady urged fiercely on the phone: ”CHEN Ye, tomorrow is the end of the month. If you don't pay the rent, I'll let you go.”
The third call was from the so-called girlfriend Liu Yanan. She ordered in a high spirited tone: ”CHEN Ye, when will you return my credit card? The day after tomorrow is the first day of the month. If you don't return it, I can't buy the new Apple X! I'm worried that I have no reason to break up with you, oh! Just in time, we're finished! ”
These three calls were like three thunders. CHEN Ye was at a loss. He didn't return to his senses after half a ring.
Not to mention the phone number of ”girlfriend” Liu Yanan, because CHEN Ye didn't intend to manage her credit card at all.
After all, the two have come to the edge of breaking up. Liu Yanan's essence is money worship. When she is with herself, she is trying to be handsome. Now she is fresh. CHEN Ye's poverty makes her feel more and more that she is a proud princess.
This kind of woman, no matter.
But,
He can't ignore the phone calls from KFC summer workers and the landlady,
There is no work income and no money to pay rent. This is a big thing. It is not only a problem of sleeping on the street, but also related to his living expenses next semester.
CHEN Ye intended to do some summer work in the summer vacation to reduce the burden on his family. His parents have borrowed a lot of money to send him to college. He doesn't want his parents to work hard for his living expenses.
But during the summer vacation, the school was closed and no students were allowed to stay in the dormitory. He had to move out of the dormitory and rent this rental room of less than 10 square meters.
Working, of course, needs a place to stay.
But now, when she lost her job, the landlady gave an ultimatum, but she didn't even have a red ticket in her wallet, which made CHEN Ye feel that she was pushed into the dilemma of life.
”Ding!”
Just when he was stunned, a text message prompt sound came from the Shanzhai machine in his hand. The sound was particularly loud in this small rental room, and also pulled his absent-minded thoughts back to reality.
CHEN Ye looked down at the mobile phone screen and saw that KFC's summer wages had arrived, totaling 876.4 yuan.
”Hey...”
He sighed deeply, 876.4, in this land and gold city, he couldn't even pay the rent for half a month!
”No! I can't just go back to my hometown. I must use the summer vacation to make some money and reduce the burden on my family! ”
Chen ye thought for a moment, picked up his fake mobile phone and called Wang Zihao, a classmate and fellow countryman: ”Zihao, are you rich? Can you lend me some money? As long as 500, I'll pay you back next month. I've just been fired by KFC. My salary can't cover the rent. The landlord said that if I don't pay it tomorrow, I'll be kicked out. ”
”I'm sorry, brother.”
Wang Zihao paused on the other end of the phone and said, ”man, money is also tight. He just celebrated his girlfriend's birthday yesterday, bought Apple x, and went to have a red candle dinner in the evening. Alas, he became poor all at once...”
Wang Zihao is CHEN Ye's hometown. His father is an entrepreneur. He is a typical rich second generation. When he was in school, he had thousands of pocket money every month. Would he not be able to take out this mere 500 yuan?
Oh, don't be funny,
CHEN Ye smiled bitterly and shook his head. He just didn't want to borrow it.
Then he made a few more calls, and the results made him cold. At his most depressed time, none of those who used to call brothers was willing to help.
”Ding!”
Just when CHEN Ye was discouraged and gave up calling to borrow money, his Shanzhai mobile phone suddenly sent out a text message!
”What's going on? Do you have a card in the banking system? More than 800 yuan and send me two text messages. ”
He didn't even look at his mobile phone. Of course, he thought it was a receipt text message sent by the bank. He doesn't have many friends on weekdays. Now it's a difficult time. It's too late for others to hide from him. How can he take the initiative to send him a text message.
In this world, there is no such kind of goods that people have a lot of money. If they have nothing, they will send text messages to people in trouble: Hey, are you short of money? I'll lend you!
”Ding!”
A second later, another sound!
”I'm really stuck. I paid more than 800 yuan and sent three text messages. I don't know. I thought I had received millions!”
CHEN Ye pinched the fake machine and wanted to mute it.
As a result, in this pinch, a text message rang again, ”Ding!”.
This time, the sound of SMS completely attracted CHEN Ye's attention.
He quickly looked down and was stunned.
”[postal savings] at 14:37 on July 29, 2017, your account with tail number 333 transferred 100 yuan in cash, and the current balance was 976.4 yuan.”
”[postal savings] at 14:37 on July 29, 2017, your account with tail number 333 transferred 100 yuan in cash, and the current balance was 1076.4 yuan.”
