The beef noodles in Huang Peipei's mouth are okay, but in fact, that's it.

Any special diet, once it leaves its birthplace, will always have a little bad taste.

Shen Hui had a lot of food, and he didn't eat at noon, so he directly asked for two bowls of noodles to eat together, a typical rice bucket, and the other people in the noodle restaurant glanced at it from time to time, and Huang Peipei didn't want to sit with him anymore.

Eating ramen, Shen Hui asked, "The house you rent here?"

Huang Peipei said: "I shared a house with a friend. ”

Shen Hui asked, "I heard that renting a house in Shanghai is expensive, how much rent is a month?"

Huang Peipei said: "More than 6,000, originally three people shared a house, and one person shared more than 2,000, but at the end of last year, a girlfriend returned to his hometown, and he couldn't find a suitable one for a while, so he could only share it with another girlfriend first." ”

Shen Hui smiled: "The rent is more than 3,000 a month, it seems that your income from writing novels is not low!"

Huang Peipei sighed and said: "I am tired and tired every day, and it is only 10,000 yuan a month, and when I meet Kavin, I write less than 10,000 yuan, and I can only maintain food and clothing in a place like Shanghai, which is not as good as you think." ”

"That's a lot better than going to work!"

"It's not much better. ”

Huang Peipei was in a bad mood and pulled the noodles with chopsticks and said: "At most, it's more free than going to work, and it's not managed, but there is no holiday, and the code words have to be updated every day, and sometimes I really don't want to code words but have to write, it's too painful!"

Shen Hui smiled: "Then you go out to work!"

Huang Peipei said distressedly: "I haven't been to work for four years, I don't know what I can do when I go out, even if I go to the hotel to brush the dishes, I guess people will think I'm clumsy. ”

Shen Hui wanted to laugh, feeling that this old classmate was too real.

In fact, think about it, going to college does not mean that you will definitely have a career, when you were in a class, the best of the students who went to college was about the same as Huang Peipei, and she earned more than 10,000 yuan a month working in a big city and a large company, which is quite good.

There are also those who have taken the civil service exam is not bad, after all, there is an iron rice bowl.

And more are like Guo Yulan and Wang Xiaojuan, who get a few thousand yuan a month, and are still confused about the future.

But even if you earn tens of thousands of dollars a month, you may not be happy.

As Huang Peipei said, in a place like Shanghai, a monthly income of 10,000 yuan can indeed only be mixed with food and clothing.

Although I envy those classmates who go to college, I don't have to be arrogant.

Even if it is another ten years, how many students will be able to earn their current net worth?

Not to mention all, even if it is one percent, it is estimated that no one will be able to earn it.

His net worth of one percent is also an astronomical amount for ordinary people.

After dinner, the two came out of the noodle shop, and Huang Peipei said, "Go to my meeting." ”

Shen Hui asked, "Is it convenient?"

Huang Peipei said: "There is nothing inconvenient, my best friend and I are single dogs, so we don't have to worry about men being jealous." ”

Shen Hui said: "It's not a problem to be so single, you should find one too!"

Huang Peipei said: "How to find it, I can't go out at home every day, I can't just go to the street to catch one!"

Shen Hui smiled: "It's not easy to find a man, the Internet is so developed now." ”

Huang Peipei complained: "This is all the thinking of more than ten years ago, who is still dating online, those men on the Internet are all livestock, and the ultimate goal of flirting with girls is not to fall in love at all, just thinking about that, hum, you know." ”

"Huh!"

Shen Hui smiled dryly, a little unsure of what to say.

In this way, he also meets the standards of livestock, and flirting with girls on the Internet is for one purpose.

Huang Peipei rented a three-bedroom and two-living room unit, the house is a bit old, but the conditions are not bad, compared to the tube buildings and the like that I saw on the Internet before, it is much stronger, and the house of more than 90 square meters lives for two people, which is also quite spacious.

followed Huang Peipei upstairs and entered the door, and Shen Hui met Huang Peipei's best friend Chen Jiaojiao.

He is slightly taller than Huang Peipei, as thin as Huang Peipei like a bean sprout, with the same pale complexion and deep-set eye sockets, giving people the feeling of being in a sub-healthy state, and looking at people as if they are looking at rare animals.

Shen Hui muttered in his heart, how did he feel like he had never seen a man.

"Chen Jiaojiao, my classmate and best friend, is also a code farmer like me!"

Huang Peipei introduced her best friend, and then introduced Shen Hui to Chen Jiaojiao: "Shen Hui, my junior high school classmate and tablemate, Jiaojiao, how do you look at people with that look, you don't need to see a man to be so, my old classmate has a wife, haha." ”

"Huh!"

Shen Hui smiled dryly, feeling that this old classmate had changed a lot, which was a little unbearable.

"A man with a wife is a treasure. ”

Chen Jiaojiao smiled and said: "Men think that their wives are always the good of others, and aren't women the same? Of course, husbands are also good to others, otherwise why do married men love young women, and married women steal from other people's husbands?"

"Oops, I can't stand you!"

Huang Peipei couldn't stand it first, "Don't scare my old classmate." ”

Chen Jiaojiao came to the challenge: "Who is the first wave, you are the wicked person who sues first!"

Huang Peipei ignored her, let Shen Hui sit down on the sofa, and was busy pouring him tea.

Chen Jiaojiao also sat down, looked at Shen Hui curiously, and asked, "Is the handsome guy really married?"

Shen Hui nodded: "It's over and gone." ”

Chen Jiaojiao immediately became interested: "Your steps are a bit big, you and Pei Pei are junior high school classmates, that age should be about the same as us, we are still single dogs, you are married and divorced, cattle!"

"Jiaojiao, can you be a lady!"

Huang Peipei brought a cup of tea and put it in front of Shen Hui, giving a warning, feeling that her best friend was too unladylike.

"I'm so ladylike!"

Chen Jiaojiao said: "You have brought people to the house, can't I be curious about him?"

Huang Peipei snorted: "What do you want, we are very innocent!"

Chen Jiaojiao pouted: "I didn't say that you two have a problem, what are you anxious about!"

Huang Peipei didn't want to pay attention to her, otherwise the more she talked, the darker it became, and said to Shen Hui: "How long are you going to stay in Shanghai?"

Shen Hui said: "If there is no accident, you should be stationed in Shanghai in the future!"

Huang Peipei asked, "What are you going to do?"

Shen Hui said: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's settle down first." ”

Chen Jiaojiao took a bite of the apple and said, "Isn't this right, Pepe, haven't we always found a suitable tenant, so we rented him the empty bedroom, and by the way, I also contracted him the physical work in the future." ”

"What do you want!"

Huang Peipei gave her a blank look: "Be honest, don't make a mess!"

Chen Jiaojiao laughed, her eyes swept over Shen Hui and Huang Peipei.

Huang Peipei asked: "Which area do you plan to rent a house in, I will accompany you to see it another day." ”

Shen Huixin said that I was going to buy a house, what house should I rent, but when I saw her ask this, it was not good to say that I was going to buy a house in Shanghai, otherwise I would inevitably be suspected of showing off my wealth, so I said: "Let's talk about it!"

Huang Peipei seemed to be trying her best to solve problems for her old classmates, and said: "You have done party affairs in a central enterprise before, so it should be no problem to do writing work, right?" However, although the academic qualifications in Shanghai are not very useful, they are also a stepping stone, and it is absolutely impossible to do without literary employment, even if you have the ability, our junior high school graduation certificate will not work, how can this be done!"

Shen Hui saw that she was very enthusiastic, so it was even more difficult to tell the truth, and said with a smile: "It's okay, I can be literate and martial, it's no problem to sit in the office and write materials, I've also done pig slaughtering and dogs, it's no problem to be a butcher, if I can't do it, I can also be a nanny." ”

"Poof!"

Chen Jiaojiao squirted out the freshly chewed apple, covered her stomach and smiled: "How can a man be a nanny." ”

Shen Hui smiled: "Then I dare to be the first in the world, the first to try the water, maybe I can become famous!"

"Be serious!"

Huang Peipei said angrily: "If you don't talk well, I'll scold!"

"Scold!"

Chen Jiaojiao's face didn't matter, with an expression that a dead pig was not afraid of boiling water.

Huang Peipei is angry, there is no way to take this girlfriend.

Shen Hui said: "Then let's get down to business, I'm going to spend a few days taking a good turn around the Shanghai market, do you have time?"

Huang Peipei gritted her teeth and said, "Okay!"

Shen Hui said: "Don't delay your business, if you don't have time, forget it." ”

Huang Peipei rubbed his head and said: "The first time you came to Shanghai, how can I, the landlord, do my best to be a landlord, otherwise it will be more impersonal, these days I have sacrificed my life to accompany the gentleman, and it is a big deal to miss a few words." ”

Chen Jiaojiao asked, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Huang Peipei said: "You don't know how to code?"

Chen Jiaojiao said bitterly: "I didn't go home during the Spring Festival, and I would go crazy if I didn't go out to breathe the air, others thought that we didn't have to work from 9 to 5 and sleep at home all day to earn money, but who knew that I was starting to lose my hair." ”

Huang Peipei said: "Then go together, just relax." ”

Chen Jiaojiao began to study the travel plan with great interest, one would say that she would go to Qibao Old Street, where there was a cross-bridge rice noodle taste very authentic, and then she would say that she would go to Liujing Town to experience rural life, in short, the more she talked, the more excited she became.

After sitting for more than half an hour, seeing that it was not early, Shen Hui hurriedly got up and said goodbye.

Huang Peipei sent him out and said, "Let's go to the Bund tomorrow first, you are waiting for us there." ”

Shen Hui nodded and said yes, and then asked, "What time do you come over?"

Huang Peipei said: "Tomorrow we will get up early, leave at seven o'clock, and arrive at the Bund at half past eight. By the way, we'll meet at the ticket office tomorrow morning, which one do you live in, not far from the cruise ticket office in Pujiang, right?"

Shen Hui didn't know where the ticket office was, but he still said, "It's not far." ”

"Okay, don't be late, otherwise I won't accompany you, you can play by yourself!"

Huang Peipei said a word, and at this time she had already arrived at the gate of the community, Shen Hui hurriedly said, "You go back, I'm leaving." ”

"Okay, be careful!"

Huang Peipei didn't go far, so she stopped, and saw Shen Hui disappear out of the community before turning around and going back.

Shen Hui was too lazy to look for the subway, so he stopped a taxi on the side of the road and got on the bus and left.

I took a shower back to the hotel, wrapped in a bath towel and stood on the floor-to-ceiling balcony to enjoy the night shadow of the Pujiang River.

Looking at the Lujiazui CBD on the opposite side of the Pujiang River, the buildings dominated by the Oriental Pearl, the Central Building, and the World Financial Center seem to be covered with a layer of golden light in the night, and they are even more colorful against the backdrop of the river.

Looking at the night view of Shanghai, it is natural to give birth to a strong feeling.

This metropolis of the East has truly led the development of an era.

It's just that how many people who came to this city with dreams to struggle at the beginning have finally left, and how many people can really gain a foothold in Shanghai, seize the opportunity to succeed, and realize their dreams?

Shen Hui didn't know very well, but he was confident enough to gain a foothold in this city known as the Demon Capital.
