Chapter 16 Making Choices
Yang Yi was already soaking wet, so in order to catch the last subway, he put away his umbrella and ran wildly in the rain, letting the falling raindrops fall on his body, completely ignoring it.
Yang Yi's shadow walked quickly in the eyes of passers-by as if they were looking at idiots, after all, they had umbrellas but they were soaked, and they put away their umbrellas in the heavy rain, these behaviors seemed to be no different from idiots, stupid to the core.
Yang Yi completely ignored the eyes of the passers-by around him, and still ran lifelessly, but fortunately caught the last subway in time, Yang Yi, who got on the subway, found that there were many vacant seats, but he didn't sit down, after all, his image was too embarrassing.
Even Yang Yi still has some scenes in the movie in his mind, a dirty passenger found a vacant seat on the subway and sat down, and for a while, all the passengers sitting next to him ran away, as if they were infected with the plague, lest they avoid it.
Of course, this is also Yang Yi's own imagination, even if Yang Yi is despised by the whole world at this moment, it is still difficult to pry Yang Yi's calm and undisturbed heart.
Yang also returned to the basement and found that in another room next to him, the door was open, the faint light shone out, and there was a lot of garbage piled up outside the door.
"Is there a new neighbor moving here?" Yang Yi muttered to himself as he looked at this scene, and his body didn't stop too long, he opened the door and walked in, closing the door casually.
Not long after Yang Yi entered, a figure walked out of the next room, looking a little thin, with colorful hair, painted with thick smoky makeup, some of the faces could not be seen clearly, fashionable dress, the girl's dress looked out of place in the dark and damp basement, maybe this girl also has her own story.
Yang Yi, who returned to the room, took off his soaked clothes, took a hot shower, and changed into clean clothes, after all, although it was summer rain now, if he got sick and cold, it would be very troublesome for Yang Yi, who was alone in Shanghai.
Yang Yi sat at the head of the bed, took out a pack of cigarettes from his suitcase, took out a cigarette and lit it, and after a while, the whole underground was filled with smoke, and he also turned off the lights in the basement, Yang also preferred darkness to brightness.
Yang Yi, who was sitting at the head of the bed, was thinking about his work quickly, and his mind was full of how to make money, which became more secular than before.
As others say: One day, I sold my own dream and exchanged it for firewood, rice, oil and salt in my life.
"Do you want to go to work in an Internet technology company, or do you want to follow Yao Feng to deliver takeaways?" Yang Yi hesitated in his heart, the cigarettes in his mouth were one after another, and sometimes the bright red glow reflected Yang Yi's frowning expression.
"If you go to work in an Internet technology company, it will be difficult to pay the monthly interest with a salary of 8,000 yuan per month, and if you go to deliver food, although you can endure hardships, but in the first few months, due to the unfamiliarity of the route, the salary is not as high as Yao Feng's mouth, and it is difficult to pay the interest. ”
The rain was still falling, a bright white light instantly tore through the darkness, illuminating the whole night of Shanghai, followed by the rumbling thunder in the sky, the rain was even more rattling, and the rain dripped the whole Shanghai.
Thunderbolt seems to have touched Yang Yi's inspiration and made a more reasonable choice in his opinion, that is, to work in an Internet technology company during the day, and to deliver food after work at night, and the two jobs are carried out at the same time, although such people are more tired, but at this time Yang Yi only has money in his eyes, and he doesn't care about whether he is tired or not.
A cheerful phone rang suddenly in the quiet basement - the king called me to patrol the mountains, patrolled the south and north mountains, and grabbed a monk for dinner, which instantly pulled Yang Yi out of his thoughts.
Yang Yi took out the mobile phone in his pocket and glanced at it, the caller ID on it was Zhongshan, Guangdong, and the remark was a person named Lin Yue.
Yang Yi looked at Lin Yue's words, a long-lost smile appeared on his face, pressed answer, and asked in a very relaxed tone, "You haven't slept yet." ”
A girl's voice came from the other end of the phone, like a warbler's cry, tactful and melodious, and said, "Uncle, what are you busy with?"
"I'm not busy, I just came back, it's raining in Shanghai tonight, and I'm wet. Yang also replied.
"Uncle, don't you bring an umbrella? I still want to use the excuse of not having an umbrella to talk to the beautiful woman in Shanghai. Lin Yue teased.
"Haha, I'm like this, even if I take the initiative to talk, I'm afraid no one will pay attention. Yang also replied with some self-deprecation.
"No, I think my uncle was also a well-known person at Sun Yat-sen University, and he was infinitely attractive to girls. Lin Yue seemed to be able to feel the self-deprecation in Yang Yi's words, and encouraged Yang Yi in distress.
"That's all in the past, it's been a long time. Yang shook his head nondeniably.
"Uncle is a man who has touched the stars, a man who has witnessed the bright light of the sun, how can he fall because of the darkness? Every word of Yang Yi, Lin Yue seems to be able to find an entry point to encourage.
Yang Yi was also very helpless about this, after all, Lin Yue knew Yang Yi's past and personality too well, and he was extremely intelligent, so he comforted Yang Yilai and often said that Yang Yi was powerless to refute.
"Uncle, didn't you think of going back to Zhongshan again?" Lin Yue asked.
Yang Yi was silent for a moment, and said, "I just want to find a place where no one knows me and live again." ”
On the other end of the phone, a beautiful short-haired girl heard Yang Yi's answer, her big eyes dimmed instantly, and she tried to squeeze out a smile and replied: "Uncle, just make your own decisions, when I'm not busy, come to Shanghai to see my uncle and see the Bund in Shanghai." ”
"Well, then you can come when you have time, although my uncle is not from Shanghai, he still welcomes the people of Shanghai. Yang Yi replied with a smile.
It's just that the future is promising, but there is no return date, and it looks a little pale.
A man and a woman chatted happily on the phone, and Yang Yi only showed more smiles when communicating with Lin Yue, fading away the deep worry, after all, for people who know everything about Yang Yi, Yang Yi doesn't need to hide too much.
Before the two hung up the phone, Lin Yue emphasized to Yang Yi that if there are financial difficulties, you must tell her, don't resist alone, otherwise Yang Yi will not treat her as a friend.
When Yang Yi heard Lin Yue's words, he could only nod his head helplessly and agreed, promising that he would only have financial difficulties and ask Lin Yue for help as soon as possible.
When the two of them hung up the phone completely, the basement was quiet again, and the melancholy look quietly covered Yang Yi's entire face again.
On the other end of the phone, the short-haired girl looked at the bright night view of the city, and muttered to herself in the deep night: "You are always such a very contradictory person, always used to facing everything alone, too stubborn." After speaking, she turned around and lay on the bed, the girl's slender figure, fair skin, perfect, very moving in the night.
The girl's mind Yang Yi himself couldn't guess, after hanging up the phone, Yang Yi picked up the mobile phone and dialed another number, which was for Yao Feng, and after a while, Yao Feng's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hey, Brother Yang, are you home?" asked Yao Feng.
"Well, it's already there, have you arrived?"
"Brother Yang, I've just been there for a while, is there anything wrong?" Yao Feng took the initiative to ask.
"Well, I want to ask if I can work part-time as a food delivery?" Yang Yi said directly.
"But yes, that's the case, the salary will be a little lower, specifically, now I don't know the company's policy, you can come to our company and ask our supervisor if you have time." Yao Feng replied.
"Well, I'll check with your supervisor when I have time. Yang Yi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Yao Feng's words, after all, if he can't work part-time as a food delivery, it is indeed a difficult choice for Yang Yi, and it is difficult for any job to maintain Yang Yi's current economic situation.
"Brother Yang, do you want to do a part-time job as a food delivery?" Yao Feng continued to ask.
"Well, now that I have this idea, I'm short of money. Yang Yi replied without the slightest concealment.
"Brother Yang, tell me when you come, I'll take you there, if you succeed in joining the company, I will have a recommendation award of 100 yuan. Yao Feng said happily.
"That's fine, I'll contact you when I've got it right. Yang also replied.
After Yao Feng and Yang Yi finished talking about business, they hung up the phone without chatting a few words.
Next is the job of the Internet technology company, Yang Yi kept thinking in his mind, but when he thought of his clear rejection of the general manager a few hours ago, Yang Yi felt very helpless, and seemed to provoke the other party.
But even so, Yang Yi has to face it hard, even if the other party is sneering at him, he has to bear it, because life has forced Yang Yi to move forward.
Yang Yi wanted to make a phone call to communicate, but he picked up his mobile phone and glanced at the time, it was already twelve o'clock, so he gave up the idea of calling and sent a text message instead.
Although Yang Yi did not have the phone number of the general manager of the Internet technology company in his mobile phone, Yang Yi still found it from the call records, and there were only three call records, the earliest was the general manager who called at night, the second was Lin Yue, and the third was Yao Feng just now.
After Yang Yi finished thinking, he edited a text message and sent it over, after sending the text message, Yang Yi casually threw the mobile phone to the bedside, turned around and went to the bathroom to wash the clothes he wet at night, because there was no washing machine, he could only wash it by hand.
When Yang Yi finished washing his clothes and picked up his mobile phone, to Yang Yi's surprise, the general manager of the Internet technology company hadn't slept yet, and replied to himself, but only with a short sentence - come to my office at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to find me.
Yang also saw this text message, and a hanging heart was completely put in his stomach, whether it was a part-time delivery boy or a job in an Internet technology company, he moved forward according to his imagination.
This is also the ultimate purpose of Yang Yilai in Shanghai, not caring about tiredness, not caring about the dignity of work, just to make money.
Heartbreaking, but a silent cry, a silent cry, just the hoarseness of life, finally exhausted, many times knowing that life will be exhausted, but have to tear the heart.
