Chapter 1 Happy Birthday to You

Next Chapter

"Yo, Lao Yang, are you working overtime again today? Don't fight so hard, you are still working so hard for the four people, you can't give us young people a chance, how can you let us young people mix, hahaha. Two young people in their twenties came to Yang An with a smile while talking, one lying on top of the pile of documents on the desk, and one on Yang An's shoulder.

"Hey, Old Yang, you heard that you are still single? You are thirty-five, right?" The one with his hand on Yang An's shoulder seemed to be very familiar and shouted loudly in Yang An's ear.

Yang An was helpless, took off the headphones, tilted his head, and ignored him.

The one lying on top of the document was also energetic, poked his head and said: "Lao Yang, seriously, if you don't go crazy, you'll be old, this weekend, we made a ladder, there are a lot of beauties, let's go and play together." You must know that under the stimulation of alcohol, everyone will inevitably have some ...... Hey, you know. How's that, let's go!"

Yang An looked up at the colleague: "Don't be, my old bones can't stand the toss, you are old if you are not crazy, I am crazy and old, okay, you go quickly, I wish you a happy weekend." ”

The one next to Lao Yang patted Lao Yang's shoulder, shook his head and said, "Alas, Lao Yang, you are so boring, you can't really ...... It's okay, I have the little blue pill. ”

"Haha......"

The two colleagues walked away with a smile and hooked their shoulders, and their words could be faintly heard:

"Fuck, that long-legged girl, don't rob me tonight. ”

"Who the is robbing you, I like girls with big breasts. ”

"Buy more wine in the evening......

“…… It's delicious......"

“…… The belt cover is not cool......"

Yang An shook his head helplessly, in fact, Yang An knew that what they said was, and he didn't think about it at all and wouldn't invite himself, he just came to make fun of himself. Yang An put on headphones and continued to work overtime.

Yang An works in an advertising company in Ludao, mainly doing film and television advertising, Yang An is a planner, a field worker, a cameraman, a producer and a director, in short, where the company needs Lao Yang, Lao Yang is there. Yang An is the oldest employee in the company, even a few years older than the boss, so the whole company calls him Lao Yang.

In fact, Yang An didn't want to be so tired, but after the boss said that there was a subsidy, Yang An worked happily, and he was an old senior, and no one else grabbed him. Of course, the truth is that no one wants to do manual work like field work, and no one wants to be the "director" of a promotional film that is only 20,000 yuan.

Sometimes at the scene, Yang An moves equipment alone, is a cameraman, and a director, from seven o'clock in the morning to nine o'clock in the evening, in addition to lunch and dinner subsidies, it is only 200 yuan a day, you must know that the company calls the field worker from the professional equipment rental service company also has 300 yuan a day.

Yang An has also been in this company for six or seven years, and it stands to reason that a man who is thirty-four or five years old will not be so bad. Even if you're not a manager, at least you need to be a department director. However, Yang An is just an ordinary employee, because he has worked for a long time and has solved the treatment of supervisors organizationally.

So why did Yang An mess up so badly, in fact, he is not to blame. The science he studied in high school, the results of all science subjects in the first year of high school were okay, thinking that he would not need to endorse in the future, but he didn't expect that the more he studied, the worse he became, and finally he could only take one or two books after the end of the college entrance examination. Yang An, who came out of the small countryside, had no one to consult, and in line with the idea of preferring to be a chicken head rather than a phoenix tail, he applied for a third-rate second-rate engineering college, which is said to be very awesome in studying automobile. In addition, Yang An wanted to escape from the small mountain city of Ancheng, so Yang An filled in the automobile college located at the foot of Wudang Mountain.

When Yang An came to this place where his "dream" was entrusted, he found that he had just left the small mountain city and entered the big mountain city. When the dream was broken, Yang An was also a little lax, and then the four years of college were muddy, and he didn't find a good job when he graduated, and missed the most important year for graduates. Women are afraid of marrying the wrong man, and men are afraid of entering the wrong industry, so Yang An has been like this for more than ten years.

After all, Yang An studied engineering, although he likes advertising, and his creative ideas are not bad, he is always not so handy to do it, and he is smart, so he will not be fired. Now the company's newly recruited employees are getting younger and younger, and the young talents who are creative can play with it. Just yesterday, one of the company's newly recruited directors was only 24 years old, and it is said that he had returned from studying abroad, and he had already worked in an internationally renowned advertising agency when he was a graduate student. The new director is a beauty, ten years younger than Yang An, but Yang An is not the same as a director, and the real director of the department is also a post-90s, except for the boss in the whole company, only Yang An is a post-80s.

Maybe it was provoked by the two people just now, Yang An felt particularly irritable tonight. Taking off the headphones, Yang An rubbed his face and looked out the window, the traffic was busy, and the lights of thousands of homes were there. Yang An stood up, walked to the window, and looked out in a daze, the lights flickered, and there was no home belonging to Yang An in those residential buildings with lights on.

Originally, Yang An could also have such a home.

Just last year, he finally scraped together enough for a down payment of 800,000 yuan, don't look at 800,000 yuan, he can only buy a two-room house in Ludao, which is not a good location. Yang An was ready to sign a house purchase contract and go to get the certificate with his girlfriend who had been talking for three years. His girlfriend is six years younger than him, but Yang Anke loves him to the core, and it hurts a lot. Unexpectedly, just a few days before preparing to buy a house, Yang An's father Yang Shulin fell ill and had a heart attack.

That night, Yang An kept vigil in the hospital, and heard the alarm in the middle of the night, it turned out that Yang Shulin pulled out all kinds of needles and various instrument connections on his body, and when Yang An called the doctor, Yang's father also cried and said to Yang An: "A'an, my father has no ability, you are not at home every day when you go to school, you can't make money, you can't pay your tuition, and when you graduate from college, I thought I could finally relax, but I didn't expect to get sick and hurt you." A'an, I'm not curing anymore, I'm not going to have surgery, I've lived enough, you take the money to buy a house, that girl is good, you're not too young, you have to hurry. Dad has no ability, he can't help you, Dad can't hurt you, you let me die!"

Yang An was in tears that night, and he held Yang Shulin tightly, until the doctor gave a tranquilizer, and Yang's father slowly fell asleep. Yang An went downstairs to the hospital to smoke a cigarette, crushed the cigarette butt with his foot, and then called the intermediary: I won't sign the contract tomorrow, and the house is gone, and then Yang An went to the duty room to sign the operation agreement, paid 150,000 yuan on the spot, and asked the doctor to arrange the operation immediately.

Later, Yang An and his girlfriend discussed whether to buy a smaller house, but they had already borrowed all the money they could borrow, and after deducting the surgery fees, material costs, and medical hospitalization fees, there were less than 600,000 of the 800,000 left. More than 500,000 people can only buy a one-bedroom single apartment on Egret Island, or buy it outside the island. Yang An's girlfriend quietly listened to Yang An's plan, said nothing, packed up her things and left. Yang An wants to keep it, but what to keep it. Yang An didn't blame her at all. Reality, material, this society is unrealistic, can we live without materialism?

Yang An seems to have relaxed a lot overnight, and of course, it can be said that Yang An has returned to the days of single freedom. And after Yang's father was discharged from the hospital, he and Yang's mother couldn't urge marriage anymore, the two of them often looked at Yang An and stopped, Yang's mother would walk around tangledly, constantly glancing at Yang An, and Yang's father sighed deeply.

Alas, thinking of this, Yang An also sighed, he actually didn't want to be single, otherwise he wouldn't have borrowed four or five hundred thousand to make a down payment, plus the mortgage, how much pressure would it be. Yang An also wants to get married, he wants to have a home.

"Jingle bell ......" phone rang. Yang An glanced back, not quite wanting to take it. However, as soon as the phone stopped, it rang again, Yang An returned to the table and took a look, was it her?

The screen of the mobile phone shows a string of numbers, and Yang An knows who it is at a glance, his "first love girlfriend" - because they have never really been together, but she stubbornly believes that Yang An is her first love boyfriend.

"Hey, what's wrong?"

"What are you doing? Still working overtime?"

"Oh, it's almost time to go back. ”

"How are you doing?"

"That's it, what about you?"

"I'm the same too, alas, I don't know what happened lately, I can't sleep all the time, and I still have nightmares every day, do you say it's too hot. Oh, by the way, do you work overtime on weekends, I'll treat you to dinner. We recently got a new female colleague in our unit, and she's very interesting, so I'll call her along......"

“……”

"Hey, hey, Yang An, I'm ......"

"Well, I know you care about me, thank you. ”

"Yang An, I don't mean anything else, I'm just ......"

"Well, really, it doesn't have to be like this. ”

"Hmm~ Yang An, happy birthday. ”

"Thank you. ”

Yang An hung up the phone and held the phone in a daze.

Married first girlfriend is going to be a matchmaker for himself? Hehe, Yang An, Yang An, what are you messing up with?

Oh, today is Yang An's 34th birthday.

Yang An turned off the computer and prepared to go home. Passing by the convenience store downstairs, Yang An bought a few bottles of wine, and suddenly, Yang An wanted to drink today. Climb to the top of the building, lean against the railing, and drink wine. Yang An frowned, why is today's wine so bitter.

Unconsciously, Yang An drank too much, and he couldn't drink too much. As soon as the wind blew on the roof, Yang An felt a little cold, his stomach rolled for a while, and he vomited. Leaning on the railing, Yang An slowly sat on the ground, tightened his clothes, and poured wine into his mouth.

I don't know how long I drank it, the wine bottles were empty, Yang An poured it, and there was not a drop of wine. Banging his head against the railing, Yang An smiled a little weirdly: "I wish you a happy birthday." ”

"Fuck your birthday, fuck your happy!"

"Bang!" Yang An smashed the wine bottle and leaned against the railing. Half in the bag.
