Chapter 14: The Anatomy of the Ma Army
Lin Duo was awakened by a sound, and she quickly sat up.
"No, I'm sorry, manager, I'm asleep. She hesitated.
Ma Jun glanced at Tang Lili, who had not woken up yet, and knocked on the table again, and Lin Duo hurriedly reminded her.
"Wait a minute, the boss will come over with a few guests, you should pay more attention. Ma Jun said.
"Okay. Tang Lili was out of breath.
Ma Jun glanced at Lin Duo and said, "Duo'er, you come with me." β
Lin Duo walked out of the front desk and followed Ma Jun into the office.
Ma Jun motioned for him to sit down, turned on the switch on the tea table, and said, "You must have been very tired recently, can you still persevere?" β
Lin Duo rubbed his eyes and said, "Try to persevere." β
Ma Jun sat down, lit a cigarette, and asked, "You come to City C alone, can your family rest assured?"
Lin Duo smiled and shook his head.
Ma Jun said: "Then why did you still let you come here, it shouldn't have been sneaked out." β
Lin Duo said: "That's not it, I won't lie to people, it's just that I have been doing ideological work for a long time to allow me to come out alone." β
Ma Jun picked up the teapot and poured a cup, pushed it in front of her, and said, "This is similar to me. β
Lin Duo took a sip of the teacup and said, "The manager has also worked hard in other places?"
Ma Jun nodded and said: "It's not easy to work in City C, especially because the pace of life here is getting faster and faster, housing prices are getting higher and higher, and there are more and more young people who want to stay here. This city is like a machine, running rapidly every day, and people living in this city wake up every day to face not only work, but consumption. Sometimes, this kind of life can be overwhelming. β
Lin Duo felt the same way, put down the cup, and said: "That's true, before I came to City C, I still had a great yearning for this place, and now I am more uneasy. I don't know when I'll really get a foothold here. β
Ma Jun looked at her and asked, "Do'er, do you want to live here?" I mean, settle here. β
Lin Duo thought about it and nodded.
Ma Jun touched his chin and said, "It's too reluctant for you to live here with your efforts alone." You work two jobs alone, and it is more than 10,000 yuan a month, and if you buy a house, then basically there will be no savings. Besides, you can't keep working two jobs forever, and sooner or later, your body will collapse. β
Lin Duo stared blankly at the cup and said, "But, what can I do?"
Ma Jun looked at her with interest, and after a while, said, "Duo'er, if someone shares the burden for you, in this way, you will have too much less burden, what do you say?"
Lin Duo glanced at him and said, "I've been waiting for Meng He a little longer, he graduates, he can share it for me, and then I will be much easier." β
Ma Jun smiled and said, "Meng He, it should be your boyfriend." β
Lin Duo nodded.
Ma Jun said: "Can you talk to me about him?"
Lin Duo smiled evilly and said, "Manager, you are really curious, you want to know everything." β
Ma Jun refilled her with a cup of tea and said, "He is still a student, how do you know that the two of you will be able to fight together for life together in the end, you know, you are separated from each other." β
This sentence entered Lin Duo's heart, she sighed, and said: "It's me who is not good, he once let me stay there and wait for him after graduation, but I chose City C." β
Ma Jun took a sip of the cup and said, "How is his family? β
Lin Duo looked at him strangely and said, "Manager, you want to know that you are hungry too much, I want to know why you are so interested in my affairs." β
Ma Jun put down the cup, looked at Lin Duo and said, "Duo'er, I like you." β
Lin Duo was taken aback, she looked at Ma Jun with wide eyes. Ma Jun's eyes were full of this calmness, not like he was joking with her.
Ma Jun smiled and said, "Please don't feel embarrassed, you have to allow others to have the right to like you, you say." β
Lin Duo blushed, and she lowered her head.
Ma Jun said: "In addition to liking you, I don't have any other thoughts for the time being, and I have no intention of breaking you up with you and your boyfriend." I still have to confess this to you. It's just that I want to analyze it for you, from your point of view, if you are a person like you who works hard in this city, then life is just as expensive and luxurious for you, because you will not have a real life, all you have is survival. β
Lin Duo was puzzled and looked at him suspiciously.
Ma Jun nodded and asked with a smile, "Duo'er, shouldn't you always think of the words life and survival as the same meaning?"
Lin Duo said: "Is this any different?"
Ma Jun shook his head and said, "Of course it's different, it depends on people's subjective consciousness. How do you see the current state, I mean your life. β
Lin Duo thought for a moment and said, "Tired, hard." β
Ma Jun nodded and said, "You are working to survive, and the happiness in life is moving away from you step by step." You tell me. β
Lin Duo nodded in agreement and said, "Indeed, at present, I am indeed struggling to survive on the line. β
Ma Jun said: "That's why I advise you not to do two jobs at the same time, so that although you earn money, you will find that you can't be happy." β
Lin Duo said: "If Meng He graduates, he can share some of it for me, and I will be much easier at that time." β
Ma Jun shook his head and said, "How do you know that he has the ability to share everything with you, even if you buy a house, how do you know that he will have the ability to share it with you?"
Lin Duo said: "Manager, what you say sounds more and more like you're breaking us up, I don't want to listen to it." β
Ma Jun smiled and said, "You just said that you want to live in City C, but you avoided the realistic questions I raised, Duo'er, it's very contradictory, isn't it?"
Lin Duo said: "Meng He's family is still very solid, his father runs a car factory, which is a huge enterprise, even if he and I can't afford to buy a house in City C, her parents will help us." β
Ma Jun shook his head and said to himself: "What a naΓ―ve girl, I really feel more and more sorry for you." β
Lin Duo looked at him muttering, a little angry, and said, "Manager, if you have anything to say, why bother muttering, people can't hear it." β
Ma Jun refilled another cup of tea for her, looked at her for a moment, and said, "I'll just ask you one question, why are you so sure that the boy with the face of Meng He will come to this strange city for you?"
Lin Duo was stopped by his words, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Ma Jun said: "Love is pure and beautiful, if it can stand the test of reality, it will be even more beautiful, isn't it? You are so sure that Meng He is willing to come here for you, and so sure that he will work together for your future, then I want to ask, who will inherit his parents' business? In the face of such a beautiful future, will Meng He choose to give up for you? Or will you give up C City for him? Have you considered these questions?"
Lin Duo was silent, she really hadn't thought about this, and Ma Jun's words did give her some hints.
"Thank you, manager, if it weren't for you not telling me this, I really didn't know that there would be so many problems between me and him. Lin Duo said.
Ma Jun nodded and said, "I don't want to watch a person I like work so hard, you can ask him how to solve these problems if he encounters them." Perhaps, you will find something new. β
