Section 43 Urban Legends 1

Lu Wu looked up at the classical clock on the wall. At this point, the minute and hour hands are already facing straight upwards together. Even in a modern society with rich nightlife, it is enough to go to the "midnight" level at this time.

"Hey, Lu Wu, the slut has been very proud lately. Dong Yue asked drunkenly. "He actually said you can help me, so let me come to you. ”

This is a common and ordinary late-night snack shop on the side of the road. The large, shiny sign at the entrance depicts a crayfish holding tongs aloft aloft on it. At this time, there were no other diners in the shop, just the two of them. In fact, the table was already full of lobster shells. But what's even more striking is the row of bottles on the table – all of which are beer, liquor.

Experienced people know that in fact, a single type of liquor is fine, and different types of liquor, such as beer and liquor, are very easy to get drunk when mixed together. This drinking method cannot be measured in terms of normal "alcohol consumption". For example, a person can drink half a catty of white wine, or three bottles of red wine, but if the two are mixed together, he will never reach the normal amount of alcohol and lie down. In this part of W City, unless you are really drinking to get drunk, or brothers and brothers are "fighting", not many people will drink in this way. Not to mention that it's just a late-night snack shop.

Dong Yue shook his head and stared at the wine bottle. There were so many bottles on the table, most of them were drunk by him. Even Lu Wu was surprised how this kid could have such a large amount of alcohol.

Of course, when it comes to drinking this portion, the amount will come to an end. It can be seen from Dong Yue's movements, posture, and tone of speech that he is really drunk.

Different people are drunk in different ways, some talk nonsense, some lie down directly, and Dong Yue is normal except for his body being a little shaky and his movements are a little exaggerated, and his speech is also logical.

"Of course, that's just talking, I know you can't help me...... Speaking of which, the best of us after graduation is a slut," Dong Yue shook his head and said. In just a year, he actually opened his own company and became the CEO. Ask him why, guess how he answered?" he turned his gaze to Lu Wu.

"What did he say?"

He grinned and said that he had hugged Kim's thigh......! Belch...... I heard you seem to be a good mix?!"

"Uh......" Lu Wu didn't know how to answer.

At the beginning, everyone was actually quite envious of Dong Yue, how to say it, after all, he found a job in a foreign trade company, and it was a job that provided a single dormitory. In these years, work is everywhere, as long as you are willing to work, there are no starving people, it's just a matter of good or bad. But there are not many that resemble a decent income, a high income, a stable place to live. Not to mention the good prospects for development.

Don't say it, finding a girlfriend has an innate advantage.

But now he looks depressed and depressed, and clearly shows that there are advantages and disadvantages in the world. This is also normal, for example, Lu Wu himself is like this - where is there such a good thing in the world.

Dong Yue's reason for frustration is simple: he just got a promotion opportunity, and then ...... Girlfriend blows.

This promotion opportunity is to expatriate - to a foreign country. This expatriate did not go to the developed countries of the West to see the corrupt life of capitalism, but to some small Eastern European country that had experienced civil war, a country that could be said to be both chaotic and poor. Let's put it this way, in the eyes of the company's employees, this ghost place is comparable to India in terms of living facilities, Somalia in terms of security, and Sahara in terms of natural environment...... In short, it's a complete hell place, the kind that no one wants to go to under normal circumstances.

As in all such cases, since no one is going and the moral character and sacrifice of the employees cannot be counted on, then there is only a bonus benefit. Therefore, the company's top management announced that they would stay in that ghost place for two years and be directly promoted to the next level. It's like government departments aiding Tibet and Xinjiang, and they can be directly upgraded when they come back.

Within the company's employees, everyone has to weigh the pros and cons. However, there were quite a few people who signed up in the end. As a capable newcomer, Dong Yue successfully defeated many competitors to stand out - this kid's good English has become his biggest advantage. In short, the flowers fell on his head. It's a pity that it's not necessarily good for him.

My girlfriend, who has just met for a short time, strongly disagrees with this. When Dong Yue ignored the opposition to participate in the election and finally won, his girlfriend directly said goodbye.

This kind of thing may be very common in this society. Maybe it's just that Dong Yue is weaker in terms of feelings, so he is a little more painful than others in the same position. So Dong Yue, who was full of sorrow, came out to hang out alone, and there was no one to talk to for a while, so he actually found Lu Wu, came out to drink together, and complained.

"Lu Wu, I heard that you are ...... Freelancing?"

This should be what Ren Jian said. Because Lu Wu had specially reminded Ren Jian in this regard before. Having seen Amber's supernatural abilities, Ren Jian easily accepted the statement that "Amber needs to keep a low profile". Later, after Lu Wu salvaged the treasure ship from the sea, this need was not just amber, but extended to Lu Wu and Ren Jian himself.

Anyone who wants to carry out a treasure hunt for shipwrecks at sea knows that this line of work must be low-key. There is a classic example: there was once an American professional shipwreck salvage company that salvaged a Spanish treasure ship that sank during the Age of Discovery. They salvaged a considerable amount of gold and silver (in those days, Spain had a lot of money to transport gold and silver from the American continent to Europe), but they made a slightly high-profile display - and then went straight to the lawsuit. The Spanish government insisted that they had undisputed ownership of the wreck and its contents, and took the hapless company to court.

No one may be able to figure out how to deal with this matter in the end, but at least Lu Wu and Ren Jian know that it must be a big trouble for the salvage company.

What's more, Lu Wu didn't use normal methods to salvage. If the government came to his door, he would not be able to prove whether it came from the high seas or from smuggling.

With a little bit of business acumen, you'll definitely choose to make a fortune in a muffled voice rather than go out and show off. It is precisely because of this that Lu Wu and Ren Jian made relevant agreements.

"Sort of. Lu Wu replied.

"And the slut said, you have a girlfriend, and it's not long after graduation...... I guess you found it shortly after we moved out of the school?"

Lu Wu nodded lightly, but did not speak.

"The slut told me that it was a big foreign beauty...... Hah......" he looked down and laughed. Maybe he thought it was incredible. However, it is not uncommon for foreigners to live, work and even get married in China these days. It is said that the W civil affairs department can handle thousands of foreign-related marriages every year. Even if Lu Wu bumped into one, it wouldn't be strange.

"How's it going? I mean, now. ”

"Not so good. Lu Wu also replied with a little feeling. "I feel like she's getting farther and farther away from me. I can feel ...... She seems to be alienating me now...... Hide from me. ”

"Hah...... Men and women of different cultures, this is a common thing. I don't know if Lu Wu exposed his shortcomings and made Dong Yue have a little spirit. "It's better to find a local girl. People in different cultures may be easy to fall in love, but if they want to be really together, the difficulty is not ordinary. ”

Maybe it was because of the broken love, so Dong Yue instantly understood a lot of truths - at least it felt like this. There is a sense of wisdom after enlightenment.

"It's better than me," he sighed again. "She's blocked me already...... There is no room for recovery in this matter. Hey......"

Lu Wu already knew that Dong Yue would soon leave China...... In fact, it was only three to five days, and it was said that the plane tickets were bought. He has to go outside for two or three years, and his return to China is only a few days in a hurry at most. In this case, it is almost impossible to get a girlfriend back. I guess even he has given up. This is the root cause of why he is depressed.

I feel hopeless, and naturally I won't do anything in vain.

"What's your girlfriend's name?" Dong Yue asked.

"Amber. After saying this, he suddenly realizes that Amber is not his girlfriend. Yes, they get along with each other, but at least on the surface, that's more of a ...... Friends, allies, or whatever. Maybe Lu Wu himself crossed that line unconsciously, but he didn't really confess.

This realization makes people can't help but feel a wave of frustration.

"Amber...... What a name. Although Dong Yue's actions were obviously drunk, he seemed sober in his thoughts. "It's not like a foreigner's name...... However, it is also common for foreigners to give themselves a Chinese name. Perhaps instinctively trying to avoid these painful things, his mind quickly jumped away from the matter.

"I'm going to let that woman know what she's doing wrong!" he said through some gritted teeth. β€œβ€¦β€¦ Within three years...... No, within five years, I must become a middle manager! Within fifteen years, I must become a manager, enter the top of the company, and when the time comes, I will send any guy overseas if he doesn't like it! Hahaha......"

"Well, you can do it. Lu Wu sincerely blessed. Among the people who got along, he knew that Dong Yue was actually a very good person, and he could talk about it, and he didn't have any special fancy intestines. At the beginning, everyone knew that he had found a good job. For young people who are about to graduate, work is something that everyone compares to. When others have a good job, everyone is naturally congratulated on the surface, but it is inevitable to envy, jealousy and hatred in private. But for Dong Yue, Lu Wu may have "envy", but there is absolutely no "jealousy", let alone hatred.

"By the way, Lu Wu, what do you think?" Dong Yue suddenly gasped for breath and looked at Lu Wu. "Your ideals! Don't say you want to be an explorer or something!"

"This ...... Indeed, I don't have that kind of thought anymore. Lu Wu admitted. Before he knew it, he realized that his goal was different from what he had done before.

"So what do you want to do in the future? You don't plan to work as a freelancer until you die, do you?"

"I want to ...... Changing the world...... Ah, I want to push for a change in the world!" Lu Wu suddenly blurted out.

"Cut...... It's really like you'd say it. Dong Yue laughed. "It's always so unrealistic, it's full of fantasies, changing the world or something...... How is that possible?" he shook his glass again. "Why the idea?"

It was normal for him to ask this question. After entering the society for a year, it is really unlikely that the edges and corners have been smoothed out. But it would be a bit illogical to say that it is more naΓ―ve than before.

"Maybe it's because of someone else's influence. Lu Wu sighed softly. The so-called close to Zhu is red, close to ink is black, and this is no exception. The few people I know, whether it's Amber, the master, or Kecha Goat, all have changed the world and saved the world as their own goals, or as their means...... To say that the subtle impact on human beings is still very great. He was surrounded by people whose goal was to change the world, conquer the world, and even save the world, and he also unconsciously had such thoughts. Of course, in fact, he also happened to have this condition.

"But really, I think you can do it. ”

"Why?" Lu Wu felt strange.
