Chapter 08: Being an Internet Celebrity?
Liu Bufan's mind went downstairs blank, he hurriedly took a taxi and returned home, the whole person began to be in a trance, and fell directly on the bed, he pulled the quilt and stuffed it on his head. He felt that his life was too dramatic, why all this happened to him. The more Liu Bufan tried to calm himself down, the more annoyed he felt, and silently recited Pushkin's poem "If Life Deceives You" in his mind:
If life deceives you,
Don't be sad, don't be anxious!
Calm down on a gloomy day:
Believe it, happy days will come!
The heart is always yearning for the future;
Now it's often melancholy.
Everything is instantaneous, everything will pass;
And what has passed will become a cordial nostalgia.
But Liu Bufan still couldn't calm down, because now a job is too important to him, he is too anxious, Li Tianying's words are equivalent to completely cutting off his way to find a job in the future, which makes Liu Bufan really unacceptable. At this time, Liu Bufan's phone rang, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, slid down to answer, put the mobile phone to his ear and said "Hey", and Song Tianyang's voice came from the other side: "Hey, Bufan, why is your voice so small, where are you now, how is today's interview? I guess it must have passed, right! This kind of interview is not a piece of cake for you! How much salary do they give you? If you don't have 5,000 a month, it will be Qu Cai, why don't you speak, are you listening? Hey, hey?" , Song Tianyang is still so optimistic, he is also full of confidence in Liu Bufan, but he can't hear Liu Bufan's answer Song Tianyang is also a little flustered. Liu Bufan said listlessly: "Old Song, don't ask anything, let's talk about it when you come back", and hung up the phone after speaking.
At half past six, Song Tianyang hurried back, and as soon as he entered the house and saw Liu Bufan lying on the bed with a sad face, he walked over and shook his shoulder, and asked, "Bufan, what happened, tell me quickly?" Liu Bufan said in frustration: "They didn't hire me, saying that it was a fluke that I was struck by lightning and didn't die, but my body didn't know when something would go wrong and die, so the former company fired me, and they didn't dare to use me, and other companies have such worries." When Song Tianyang heard this, he immediately said angrily: "Let the fucking bullshit, he's going to die, aren't you living well now, why does he doubt your body, you must live longer than them." You turned out that the company was a bastard, they were in such a hurry to dismiss you, I had long suspected that they had bad intentions, but I didn't expect it to be true, besides, you are so good, don't want you to be their loss, you don't have a place to keep your master here, you say yes!" Listening to Song Tianyang's persuasion, Liu Bufan's heart was much calmer, no matter how depressed he was and what misfortune he suffered, Song Tianyang always stood by his side and supported him, similarly, if Song Tianyang was in difficulty, he Liu Bufan would also stand up as a person, this may be the reason why Liu Bufan and Song Tianyang can talk together and have a relationship comparable to that of a brother.
Liu Bufan sat up, looked at Song Tianyang with puzzled eyes and asked, "Do you say that I still have a job to look for, and will the unit want me?"
Song Tianyang also regretted that what he said just now was too full, but he was embarrassed to change his words, so he could only stubbornly continue: "This should be possible, maybe there will be, H City is so big, it is impossible to know your deeds, right, you haven't become an Internet celebrity yet!"
Speaking of Internet celebrities, Song Tianyang had an idea, and he had a new idea in his heart, he pulled Liu Bufan's arm and quipped: "Extraordinary, if there is really no unit to ask for you, you can simply change your career to become an Internet celebrity." ”
Liu Bufan didn't expect Song Tianyang to come up with such an outrageous idea, so he glanced at him with contempt and said: "What do you want to be an Internet celebrity, my brother is a serious person, I don't want to be an Internet celebrity, and I can't be an Internet celebrity." ”
Song Tianyang still didn't give up, and persuaded again: " Why can't it, look at it, isn't there a young man in Hangzhou who has become an Internet celebrity when he cuts his hair, everyone is now in the entertainment industry, and his life is much more moisturized than ours, and there is a beggar in Shanghai who has become an Internet celebrity, your conditions are much better than theirs, and he was not killed by a thunderbolt that has not been encountered in a century, what a good subject matter, as long as you publicize it, you will immediately be more popular than them, maybe one day you will become a big star, and then just take care of me a little. Song Tianyang said that he was like a river, his head was the way, and the examples were even more convenient, if ordinary people were to be persuaded by him.
But Liu Bufan's thinking is more stubborn, he has been taught by his parents since he was a child that he must be a real person, not crooked, and a happy life must be created by his own hands. In addition, Liu Bufan himself studied architecture, and he once hoped to build more sturdy and affordable houses with his own hands, so that more people could afford to live in them.
But now the country's housing prices have risen too outrageously, take H city as an example, from the city center to the 4th ring house has risen to more than 20,000 per square meter, the closer to the city center, the more expensive the house price, close to the suburbs of the house is more than 10,000 square meters, now young people are under too much pressure, marriage to buy a house and a car, especially men have been overwhelmed by the house.
However, people like Liu Bufan and Song Tianyang, who earn thousands of dollars a month, the house is out of reach, and now they are in a state of food and clothing, and there is no place to live, how can they have the heart to worry about other people's affairs, Liu Bufan has his own thoughts, and said: " Although we live a little poorer, but we are making money by working with our own hands, we have a clear conscience, those Internet celebrities, although they can make money in a short time, but they are all through some virtual inferior hype, damaging the social atmosphere, the country will sooner or later crack down on this atmosphere, hard work can prosper the country, if a country relies on entertainment as the mainstream support, no one can do things in a down-to-earth manner, then the future of the country is very worrying. ”
Liu Bufan paused, and then said: "It's good for me to be myself, I don't need to rely on hype to get attention, and I don't like to be disturbed." ”
Song Tianyang understood what Liu Bufan meant, he knew that Liu Bufan was more worried that his relatives and friends would be unwilling to do this because he was harassed, so he gave up, and then sarcastically said: "The big guy is right, we can't live anymore, then we still have the heart to worry about the country, now we can only take one step at a time." ”
Although Liu Bufan has ambitions, but after all, he is a worldly person, he can only do his best, he also needs to maintain his livelihood, and take care of his home in a remote place, if Liu Bufan has the ability to change all this one day, then he is willing to do it, but now he is just a poor person who has to worry about work. The two discussed for so long and still didn't pay good attention, Song Tianyang proposed to go out to eat first, and only when he was full did he have the strength to think, or he could think while eating, so the two walked towards the outside of the community, although they failed to find a job today, but Song Tianyang still invited Liu Bufan to have a big meal, and he couldn't compensate him mentally, but he was still physically okay.
