Chapter 001: Urban Traveler
As an oriental metropolis, the Pearl is different from the capital, if the capital is elegant, rich in humanistic cultural city, then the Pearl is the most contemporary commercial city, fashion city. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 infoEven at night, the city exudes an incomparably fashionable color, with countless skyscrapers standing one after another, and the lights as many as the stars in the sky cover the whole city in a sea of light and shadow.
Every year, countless young men from all over the country pour into this modern, but also economic center of the city, everyone is attracted by its prosperity before entering the city, after arriving in this city, their hearts are eager to have a lamp of their own in the night of the city, hope to have a house that belongs to them, because in the eyes of the vast majority of people, this proves that he really belongs to the city, and has truly become a new pearl person.
Are there any exceptions? Yes!
As the saying goes, when the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, there is such a person, the reason why he stayed in this oriental metropolis is not to buy a house here, let alone to become a pearl person, the reason why he stayed in the pearl is very simple, his girlfriend wants to stay here, so he also stays here.
His name is Wen Xu, in his words to introduce it is warm Wen, sunny and warm, graduated from a third-rate university in Mingzhu, and after graduation, he entered a third-rate small software company and officially became a code farmer, the income is very good in Mingzhu, there is an income of 20,000 yuan per month and it is after tax, basically I don't have the heart to buy a house, but I can live a very good life if I do the moonlight family.
Don't think that Wen Xu went to a third-rate university because of his bad grades, in fact, he had good grades in high school, and although the original high school teacher set him a goal of not Qing University, the top universities in China such as Shouda University are also the top universities in 985 and 211.
It's not because he didn't do well in the college entrance examination, but for him, the difference is whether he can go to college or not, not which university he goes to.
When Wen Xu chose this university, Wen Xu only liked one point, that is, the scholarship given by this school was high, and as soon as he entered the university, he not only waived the tuition fee of nearly 10,000 yuan a year, but also gave a one-time scholarship of 15,000! There was no need to spend money at all for four years, and living expenses were also given! When Wen Xu chose this school at that time, even the admissions teacher of this university was dumbfounded, and looked at Wen Xu back and forth several times with eyes like looking at monsters. Because except for this guy, no one will choose this third-rate university because of this little scholarship gap, and give up the century-old famous school Jida, which is also in the pearl.
Seeing that the clock on the wall was half past five, Wen Xu's fingers slid off the keyboard on time, skillfully closed the computer, and prepared to carry the small bag on the table home.
"Wen Xu, work overtime, the company is very busy with work during this time...... Wei Yuanchuan, the boss of the technical department, appeared at the door of the office, and when he saw Wen Xu, who was about to leave, he immediately put a smile on his face, and ran to Wen Xu with a trot and said in a good voice.
As the backbone of the company's technical backbone, Wei Yuanchuan wants Wen Xu to work overtime, so he has to discuss it in a good voice, instead of saying like to others: Who is it, working overtime today. Not for anything else is that the technology of this product is strong, and there is also a ability to be good at getting certificates, what is Microsoft, Oracle and other company certifications as long as they are top-notch, almost all of them are on hand, and they are especially good at researching the goods that are good at exam-oriented education thieves.
Seeing this situation, the other small code farmers in the office immediately looked at Wen Xu with envy, for them, the boss of the technical department is their own sky, when will they be able to mix with Wen Xu's status.
"The key things are almost there, even if I write it now, it doesn't make much sense, I'll write it when their things come out, it's the same, there's no need to work overtime, what's waiting for me to solve it tomorrow" Wen Xu said and walked past the boss of the technical department, and then floated out of the office, leaving the company with envious eyes from the two little girls at the front desk.
There are not many companies that get off work at this point, although it seems that the companies working here are all dog-like, but overtime is the norm, and it is normal for three or five people to be in the elevator, and it seems a little empty even when connected to Wen Xu.
"Leaving work on time again?" said hello with a smile when a lady in the elevator saw Wen Xu walk in.
Wen Xu entered the elevator and pressed the minus three floors, and said with a smile: "What a coincidence, aren't you also punctual?"
"Hehe" The lady who spoke smiled, lowered her head and played with the phone in her hand again.
When the elevator reached the negative third floor, only the lady who had just spoken was left inside, a young girl next to her, and of course, Wen Xu.
Seeing Wen Xu walk away, the young girl whispered to the lady and asked, "Sister, you know him, this young man is still good, are you ......?"
"It's your head, it's off work at this point, and there are few people who don't know him, even if they don't know his name, they know his car," the lady laughed.
"Luxury cars?"
"No, the god car Wuling Hongguang, the kind of special sling"
"Drive this car to work?" The girl was a little stunned, you must know that the negative three floors are the internal parking lot of the building, all of which are the self-use parking spaces of various companies, the self-use garage layer of this high-end office building, the cars in it are extremely rare, not to mention the expensive ones, but also more than 200,000 yuan, most of them are 300,000 cars, to put it bluntly, the towing goods have to be more than 300,000 more than 300,000 up to this level, and suddenly there is a fifty or sixty thousand in the middle and it is a car that has landed, it is indeed a little too conspicuous, and it is a little too conspicuous to describe it as conspicuous when it stands out from the crowd, and it is as eye-catching when the chickens stand up to the cranes。
As the girl was talking, she saw a dilapidated Wuling van, with more than a dozen car logos from the auto parts city hanging on the back, and there were many BMWs, Mercedes-Benz, Lamborghini and the like, and there was a slogan on the rear window: Decisive battle in Autumn Famous Mountain, the loser left his name!
This broken Wuling sling can no longer sling, and it swished through the girl's sight.
Looking at the back of the god car Wuling, the girl couldn't help sighing: "I'm going, it's really a sling!"
Everyone thinks that Wen Xu made the car like this is pretending, in fact, when Wen Xu bought it back, the car was already like this, the previous owner was Wen Xu's roommate, this person is a 'fashionable young man' after buying the car like this, after driving for less than half a year, he changed to another god car H6, and the 30,000 yuan with the license plate was transferred to Wen Xu's hands, Wen Xu just took the book at that time, and thought about buying it to practice, so he didn't bother to get these, so he just kept it.
Originally, I planned to practice the car and it was almost the same, who knew that this magic car was really a magic car, and it didn't break how it was tossed and turned, and it has been driven as a means of transportation until now. But now this car is more than 30,000 yuan with just one license plate, and the car is considered to be profitable.
Wen Xu couldn't hear the discussion of the two people, and as soon as he drove out of the underground garage, he couldn't wait to turn on the radio, and when he opened it, there was a sound of electricity inside, and he slapped the radio twice with his hand before the magnetic voice of the female anchor came: Okay, now the time has just passed half past five, have you already gotten off work, let's listen to a song, the name of the song is "City Night Homecoming"......
"NOLY-YOU, CAN TAKE ME TO THE WEST SCRIPTURE, ONLY-YOU ...... NOT AFRAID OF DEMONS AND MONSTERS"
Before the song on the radio was played, the ringtone of Wen Xu's mobile phone, which had been used for nearly ten years, rang first.
"Hey!" took out his phone and looked at it, Wen Xu knew that it was his good buddy, and he was also a brother who had lived together in college for four years, and he called in the harsh winter. This product is now a freelancer in his own words, in fact, it is a flea, and he has changed no less than ten companies in the past seven years after graduation, and often switches freely between the two situations of firing the boss and being fired by the boss.
"Daxu, are you off work?" said the voice of the harsh winter on the other end of the phone.
"I'm driving back from work," Wen Xu said.
"Then you come to me and help me move, if I want to find a car, I will have to be small and big, and I can only catch you strong," said Yan Dong.
Wen Xu said directly: "Okay, I'll go directly, you find a place to rest first, I estimate that I will go here for at least forty minutes."
"Okay!" said a sentence from the other end of the harsh winter, and immediately hung up the phone.
The car drove for about ten minutes, and Wen Xu was a little stupid, and there was a traffic jam!
It is estimated that the car will not be able to move for a while and a half, so Wen Xu first called Yan Dong, and then called his girlfriend Guan Siya. No one answered on the other end of the phone, so he left her a voice on WeChat, saying that he was going to help Yan Dong move today, so he wouldn't go to her.
The little couple was very unhappy a few days ago, the fuse of the matter was the house, Guan Siya felt that the two should buy a house in Mingzhu as soon as possible, and Wen Xu felt that Mingzhu's house was too expensive, not in the city center, it was fifty or sixty thousand square meters, and after buying a house, the living standards of the two of them must have dropped a lot, Wen Xu lit Guan Siya's anger with this sentence, and directly counted Wen Xu for almost two hours, and Wen Xu almost didn't say a few words in the whole process, being an honest listener, from time to time he watched his girlfriend's mouth dry and handed him water。 Who knew that this made Guan Siya angry, slammed the door directly, moved to her company's dormitory with her suitcase, and didn't answer Wen Xu's phone call for a few days.
After reporting to his girlfriend, Wen Xu honestly waited for the car in front of him to move, not anxious at all, and hummed along with the song on the radio while waiting, and at this time, some drivers next to him began to complain like ants on the hot pot.
After waiting for nearly a quarter of the car, the car slowly moved, and when it came to the harsh winter, it had been two hours before he called.
"So blocked?" "There is not much luggage in the harsh winter, they are all old movers, one large and one small two boxes are less than the boxes brought by the average girl when she goes to travel, and when the car leans over, she opens the sliding door, puts the box in the car, and gets into the car.
Wen Xu said: "It's strange that this point is not blocked, where are you going to move?"
"Move to the vicinity of Xianwang, a few blocks away from him, and the rent there is less......" Yan Dong said the address with a smile.
Xianwang is not a street or a community, but a nickname, another guy in the dormitory of the two, his big name is Zhao Defang, and the legendary Eight Sages King Zhao Defang of the Song Dynasty has a name, so he has such a nickname, he was originally a pearl person, and his girlfriend is also a classmate, and he bought a house and got married with the financial support of his parents as soon as he graduated. The house is there, but the salary of the two is about the same as the mortgage, and in order to live, the two of them started a night market stall when they got off work.
"If you don't have a tight hand, don't stay up like this, I'll tell you that there are many difficulties, health is the greatest, nothing else is a problem" Wen Xu said a sentence and then took out his mobile phone and began to set the destination navigation.
"Got it, when I can't open the pot, I'll definitely give you a chance to borrow money, now hurry up and leave, the landlord over there has been waiting for me for a long time" Yan Dong immediately urged Wen Xu to set off.
It took about an hour for Wen Xu to deliver the harsh winter to his new residence, and then signed a contract to throw the two boxes in.
He didn't clean it up in the harsh winter, threw the box in, clapped his hands and said, "Okay!"
"This place ......"
Wen Xu wanted to say something, but he was pushed out by the harsh winter, and the house where the harsh winter lived Wen Xu also lived in when he first graduated, it was the kind of dozens of square meters separated by seven or eight rooms, and only one person was left in the hallway between the rooms, and the room could only put down a single bed and a bedside table at most.
"I just want to sleep, how can there be so many requirements" Yan Dong pushed Wen Xu out, then locked the door with a smile, and said while pushing Wen Xu out: "Go, you help me move today, I invite you to dinner, let's go to the stall of King Xian's house without falling into the fields of outsiders."
"Did you bring any money, and your mouth is the stall of King Xian's family?" Wen Xu asked with a smile.
"By the way, if you don't say it, I forgot about it," Hearing Wen Xu say this, Yan Dong took out his mobile phone and began to call Zhao Defang.
As soon as the phone rang, Yan Dong hung up the phone after a few words: "Let's go, Sun An'an is not here, I said that I would come back later tonight, King Xian let us go over to help if we have nothing to do, he has a guest over there"
Hearing this, the two got into the car and went to the small street where Zhao Defang set up a stall.
Yan Dong and Wen Xu have to go to Zhao Defang to eat at least once or twice a week, on the one hand, for free food and drink, and on the other hand, for friends to get together, Zhao Defang has no opinion on the two of them eating and drinking for nothing, but his wife Sun Anan has to complain every time, but fortunately, the two of them are thick-skinned and don't care, and they will come next time after complaining! Of course, if Sun Anan is not there, the dishes mixed by the two will always be better, and there is no need to give money, if Sun Anan is here, if you don't want to give money, the dishes will naturally be worse, and you can have small stir-fried dishes, but don't think about seeing big hard dishes or something.
Although they have to look at Sun Anan's face from time to time, the two agreed that Xiao Sun is still a good daughter-in-law, and Zhao Defang has picked up the treasure. Now there are really not many girls who are willing to make so much money, and in the eyes of the two, women who live at home are now like Sun An'an.
It was close, that is, a ten-minute drive, and the car stopped directly on the side of the road and the two got off.
Seeing the warmth and the harsh winter, Zhao Defang directly wiped the sweat on his face with the towel hanging on his shoulder: "Daxu, you wipe the table, Dongzi, you serve! When you're done, you can get a mutton pot."
Now is the time for the Venerable Master, Zhao Defang is not enough to divide into three people in one day, and when he saw the two of them coming, he was immediately overjoyed.
Wen Xu didn't like to wipe the table, thinking that this job was not as good as serving dishes, and dealing with leftovers, so he complained, "Why am I wiping the table again?"
"You kid serves the wrong dish every time, I apologize for giving people wine every time, and then let you serve food to others, then I simply don't go out of the stall, and I work all night in vain" Zhao Defang said: "Hurry up, do it for me!"
Hearing Zhao Defang say this, Wen Xu had to pick up the rag and start to clean up the table, while Yan Dong happily did the work of running the hall.
It took almost an hour to do it, the dishes were almost served, and the customers on the stalls were full, so the servants took a breath of relief.
"Daxu, why are you and Guan Siya making trouble again" Zhao Defang sat in his large strap jeans and took out a pack of cigarettes, threw one to Yan Dong, and then took a puff after lighting it himself and asked.
"It's not about the house yet" Wen Xu didn't smoke, and saw the two of them swallowing the clouds and spitting out fog, a little away from the two, and avoiding second-hand smoke also seized the upper hand.
"The house should be bought, but it must be bought"
Wen Xu said: "Good guy, the city center is more than 100,000 square meters, even if it is remote, it costs 40,000 or 50,000 yuan, how good it is to rent a house with this money, and when you are old, you can take the money back to your hometown to care for the ......elderly." Wen Xu has always been obsessed with the leisurely life in the countryside, if it weren't for Guan Siya's insistence to stay in Mingzhu, he would have been reversed a long time ago according to his own temperament, where would he stay in the metropolis as a humanoid haze cleaner.
"You think so, but you have to think about other girls, what are you doing when no one marries you, I really accompany you to work hard in your career, how can there be such a girl now!" Yan Dong retorted.
"Why not, isn't Sun An'an!"
Zhao Defang smiled: "Then I'm a buddy, I'm lucky, but don't forget that my brother also has more than sixty square meters, although it is a little smaller, but you have to admit that it is also a family."
"Why do you have to toss yourself so tired!" Wen Xu couldn't figure it out.
"Boss, checkout"
"It's here!" Zhao Defang pinched out the cigarette butt in his hand, walked towards the table of guests, and said to Wen Xu as he walked: "An An is with Guan Siya tonight, to help you persuade you, you really don't care about others, you look at Guan Siya's small appearance, I don't know how many men outside are drooling and worrying."
"Why don't I take it to heart, every time I quarrel, whether it's right or wrong, I admit my mistake," Wen Xu muttered dissatisfiedly.
