Chapter 7: A Sudden Opportunity
Time always flies by and slips away quietly before we know it!
The hot summer has finally passed, and the golden autumn season is a harvest day, and at the same time, it also brings a cool breeze that blows away the heat in people's hearts.
For Zhang Yu, who often goes out to run construction sites, autumn is his favorite season.
For the building materials industry, especially for plumbing pipes like Zhang Yu, there are two peak seasons a year, namely April and May in spring and September and October in autumn.
After the beginning of spring, everything recovers, because the construction sites that have been suspended from the cold will start one after another, so a large number of building materials are needed. The autumn is the time of the year when the second phase of the project is launched in large quantities, and a large number of building materials are also needed.
In addition, from the perspective of personal retail, the heating needs to be repaired before winter, so a large number of plumbing pipes are required. The beginning of spring is also a reason, after using the heating for a winter, it must be overhauled before sealing, so the amount is also very large.
For salespeople like Zhang Yu, the arrival of the peak season, in addition to working harder and busier, will also have more performance. But there will be a reward for paying, the more performance, the more achievements he makes, and the more money he earns.
Although he ran very hard, Zhang Yu was willing to do it, because he had money and motivation!
In the past two months, under Zhang Yu's special intentions, he has accumulated as many as 250 wishing points. But he never made a wish, because now he doesn't know what he wants.
As the saying goes, don't panic when you have food in your hand, so Zhang Yu has lived a very stable life during this time. is his live broadcast, and his fans are growing steadily every day, and he has already had more than 10,000 fans.
Zhang Yu would broadcast live for two or three hours every day, but as his rank improved, he couldn't slaughter the Quartet like he did at the beginning. But after more than two months of training and running-in, Zhang Yu can be regarded as mastering some live broadcast skills, so even if he is not slaughtering the Quartet, his fans are constantly growing.
Although his Xiaoyu live broadcast room is not very famous, he is also a well-known little anchor in the circle. And others are more Buddha, they don't earn much with others, and they can be regarded as having a good popularity in the circle and knowing many anchors.
Now through the live broadcast every month, all kinds of rewards are added together, and Zhang Yu can actually earn two or three thousand yuan, which is something he didn't dare to think about before.
And he also signed a contract with Penguin and became their contracted anchor. This is also two days ago, he received the news in the background of the account, and then signed the contract in a daze and became an ordinary contracted anchor.
After signing the contract, the gift is divided into one less layer, but there is a basic salary every month, although it is not much, there is also a thousand yuan to take. And this basic salary is not set in stone, if Zhang Yu's live broadcast fans grow more, it will be raised step by step.
In fact, Zhang Yu doesn't care much about these, what he cares about most is that he can earn money to support himself in the place he likes. If it weren't for the fear that he would be picked up by the penguins if he didn't sign the contract and wouldn't let him broadcast live, he wouldn't have signed the contract.
But the advantage after signing the contract is that he is now playing live broadcast, and his mother will no longer care about him. Because now he not only plays live broadcasts, but also earns money, even more than he earns when he goes to work.
Sometimes, Zhang Yudu wants to be ruthless and no longer goes to work. Originally, he didn't like his current job very much, he wasn't a character who liked to show his face, he was a lazy house in his bones. But he didn't dare to be so hasty, after all, after more than a year, now he can be regarded as a little accumulated in his current work, and he is a little reluctant to give up rashly.
And for the live broadcast, he actually felt that it was not very stable in his heart, and if he didn't get it, the game would be cold that day, and his live broadcast would lose its appeal.
Of course, he can also continue to broadcast other games, such as pesticides, or LOL or something. But how to put it, these are virtual things, and it is not as real as selling pipes.
The days passed like this, and finally ushered in the long-awaited November Golden Week. It stands to reason that they don't have holidays, and the sales staff are basically on call on the construction site and can't let the problem exist.
But Zhang Yu did well this year, and he completed the task early this quarter, so it was rare for the manager to give him a holiday, so that he could also enjoy a seven-day vacation.
After knowing that Zhang Yu was on vacation, his mother Yu Fang filmed him going to his grandmother's house to visit relatives, and also helped her see her parents. Because she is the chief physician, this time is even busier, and there are several surgeries waiting to be done.
Zhang Yu has no resistance to going to his grandmother's house, he grew up in his grandmother's house since he was a child, and he likes it there very much. And he has always thought that he is a rural person, not a city person, his roots are in the countryside!
This time, because of the long holiday, Zhang Yu is ready to stay at his grandmother's house, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and calm his body and mind.
On the morning of the second day of the holiday, Zhang Yu took the car to his grandmother early. After more than two hours of tossing, I finally arrived at my grandmother's house at nine o'clock.
As usual, my grandmother was at home, and my uncle and they all went to work.
Farmers don't have any Golden Week, and they don't have holidays, almost all year round. As long as you want to live a good life, you are not particularly lazy, and you will work non-stop every day.
For Zhang Yu's arrival, grandma's family is very happy. So that night, the chickens were slaughtered and the fish were slaughtered, and a pure peasant feast was eaten.
A mouthful of chicken flavor, Zhang Yu started today's live broadcast to eat chicken after dinner!
There are more than 5,000 online people in the live broadcast room today, not to mention the largest number in history, but it can also rank among the top few. So Zhang Yu worked very hard during the live broadcast, and he was lucky today, he has not met a master, and he has been killing people smoothly.
Zhang Yu has a problem, he has been live for more than two months and has not shown his face, otherwise with his appearance, it is estimated that the number of fans can quadruple now.
"Brother Yu is very fierce today, did you take medicine?" This is the little fat man who is fat + fat, he is Zhang Yu's number one fan, and he is really the first fan, so the two are already very familiar.
"I think so, Xiaoyu's state today is not ordinary!
"Hahaha, I can see that Brother Yu is amazing today, right? Let me tell you, I came to my grandmother's house because of today's holiday, and then my grandmother stewed the old hen for me. So I've already eaten chicken, and of course I'm in good shape!"
Regarding Zhang Yu's strange remarks, many fans were speechless. But everyone has become accustomed to Zhang Yu's ability to talk nonsense during the live broadcast and crooked buildings if he doesn't pay attention.
Zhang Yu quickly finished playing, and then began to bring fans to score.
But Zhang Yu generally uses a small trumpet to bring powder, because the large one is often matched with powerful masters, and it is not easy to score points.
Everyone talked and laughed, and it was broadcast live until late at night in a harmonious atmosphere. Because of today's holiday, Zhang Yu broadcast for two more hours.
Because he doesn't have a computer, he uses his mobile phone to broadcast live today. But now because he made a successful wish, he can be regarded as a little master with his mobile phone.
After the broadcast, there was no word all night!
Early the next morning, when Zhang Yu was still sleeping, he heard movement outside the house. When he got up from the kang in a daze, he looked outside, and it turned out that the second uncle's family had returned.
And not only the second uncle and second concubine are back, but the cousin Yu Guomei, who is studying in college in the provincial capital and is one year younger than Zhang Yu, is also back.
"Second uncle, second concubine, Xiaomei, why are you here so early?" Zhang Yu, who was a little unable to open his eyes, was greeted vaguely while rubbing his eyes.
"Brother Xiaoyu, why are you here?When did you come?Don't you go to work?Balabala......"
After Zhang Yu finished speaking, before Yu Guo could speak, Yu Guomei jumped over and dragged Zhang Yu's arm and threw out a sudden question.
This Yu Guomei is the only daughter of her second uncle's family, one year younger than Zhang Yu, and she also grew up in her grandmother's house. Because her parents were busy with the wholesale business at that time, they didn't have time to take care of her, so they were thrown to her hometown for her grandmother to watch.
At that time, because Zhang Yu was not in good health, she had been living here, so she became Zhang Yu's little follower, and the relationship between the two was very close.
Maybe it's because both families are only children, so the two feel like brothers and sisters. Even sometimes it feels like it's closer than its own brothers and sisters.
"You girl, how old are you, and you still hold your little brother Yu's arm?" The second concubine came over at this time and patted the back of Yu Guomei's head, and scolded her with a smile.
"What are you afraid of? this is my brother!" But Yu Guomei didn't listen to her mother, raised her head and pouted, and retorted loudly.
"It's okay, no matter how big Xiaomei is, she is also my sister. Zhang Yu didn't care about this, after all, the blood relationship between the two was here.
Now it's not the old society, and there is no way to make trouble with the German orthopedics. If it was left in the past, there were really not too many aunts and cousins who were in-laws, according to Zhang Yu, there were only two or three pairs in this village, and they were aunts and cousins who got married.
Of course, without exception, the children they gave birth to were somewhat problematic, one was albinistic, one was a little stupid, and one was directly polio.
After the second uncle's family came back, the grandfather was obviously a lot happier, they didn't have much requirements when they were old, they just wanted their children and grandchildren to accompany them more.
There are more than a dozen people in a large family. The second cousin's family also came over today, so the uncle's house was stuffed and so on.
Cooking is all a woman's business, the eldest concubine and the second concubine, as well as the eldest cousin and the second cousin, they started cooking under the command of their grandmother.
The men were chatting about melon seeds in the house, and by the way, they talked about this year's situation. Whether the harvest of the eldest uncle's family is good or not, whether the business of the second uncle's family is prosperous, and the two cousins also talk about the affairs of each family together.
Zhang Yu is here, more often asked, whether the work is going well, how is the family, when to find a partner, etc. In the end, I couldn't resist it, so I gave my little cousin a look, and then I was pulled out by Yu Guomei to play.
"Finally came out, this guy asked me!" Walking on the dirt road in the village, breathing in the air several times fresher than in the city, Zhang Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Who is to blame for this? Who told you not to find me a sister-in-law!" Yu Guomei gloated on the side, and ridiculed him.
"You're a year younger than me, that is, you're in graduate school now, why don't you give it a try?" Zhang Yu didn't eat her at all, and sneered at her.
"Hmph! Anyway, I'm not in a hurry, I still have a year to graduate!" With her hands behind her back, Yu Guomei jumped forward like a little girl, while Zhang Yu shook her head behind her and chased after her.
For this little sister who has not come out of the ivory tower all along, Zhang Yu has envy and pity.
The two slipped around outside, then pinched the time to come back, just in time for dinner.
Lunch was lively and very hearty. Chicken, duck, fish, everything, as well as a variety of seasonal vegetables, are grown in their own fields.
A large family ate and drank, talked and laughed, and it took more than two hours to finish this lunch.
If there was nothing to do in the afternoon, Zhang Yu started the live broadcast. His little cousin Yu Guomei didn't have anything to do, so she followed him to watch his live broadcast.
After watching two games, Yu Guomei found that her little brother was quite powerful, and he had a lot of fans. The most important thing is that she found that he has really become better at playing games, unlike the little fish brother in her impression.
"Brother Xiaoyu, why are you so good at playing games?"
Looking at Yu Guomei, who looked curious, Zhang Yu casually made up a reason, and said: "I used to be very good, okay? It's just that I didn't play this game!
Yu Guomei was skeptical, although he didn't believe Zhang Yu's words very much, but he was really good at playing games now. Then she didn't say anything, just rolled her eyes, then took out her phone and began to tinker.
That night, the second uncle's family didn't leave, so they stayed at the eldest uncle's house. Naturally, the little cousin followed Zhang Yu to watch his live broadcast in the middle of the night at night.
As soon as he slept until dawn, Zhang did not get off the kang until 9 o'clock in the morning. By the time he cleaned up his personal hygiene, it was almost ten o'clock. So Zhang Yu didn't eat, but just washed two cucumbers and ate them.
When he felt that he had nothing to do and took out his phone to broadcast live again, the phone rang.
"Hey, I'm Zhang Yu, where are you?" So he picked up the phone as soon as he could, and then opened his mouth to say two standard sales words.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, we are here the Organizing Committee of the Chicken Star Cup PUBG Competition, although it is the first time for us to hold this competition, but we ......"
When he first received this call, Zhang Yu was still a little confused when he heard what the people inside said. But after this person was introduced, it became clear that this was an invitation to participate in this so-called Chicken Star Cup competition.
"How did you know about me?" Zhang Yu was still very interested in this competition, but he wondered how the other party found him.
"Someone sent us a video of your live broadcast, and then we thought you were good enough to compete, so we called and invited you. ”
After listening to the other party's explanation, Zhang Yu also recognized it, and he kept asking after him. But he apparently ignored why his contact information was there if it was just someone who sent the video of the game.
For people who play esports games, there's nothing you don't want to play. In the past, Zhang Yu's strength rookie had no chance at all, and he didn't dare to think about it. Now that his strength has come up, he has such an opportunity, so he is excited.
The heart is not as good as the heartbeat, so ......
"I promised! How can I participate in your competition?"
