The weather is getting colder and colder, at the beginning, Ye Ziyu is still not used to it, his lips are dry, he can't help but use his tongue to add, and Guo's lips are as red as if he had applied lipstick, and he went to visit customers, always causing misunderstanding and surprise to customers. He rides his bicycle around the street every day, holding a stack of advertising magazines on the luggage rack behind the car, and when he encounters a company related to the industry, he hands over a copy, striving to leave the contact information of the other party, in anticipation of the opportunity to cooperate in the future. But most of the companies are in various office buildings, and he still needs to go in and visit strangers. However, with the reason, at least the business counterpart, it will generally not be blocked by the security guards in the hall, which is much better than carrying two kitchen knives to the company.

But this kind of business is not easy to do. Because the competition is too fierce, each company has a large number of people who contact advertising every day, and many old companies have established counterpart contacts, and it is almost impossible for a newcomer to come to get a piece of the pie. And the chances of running into a new company are very slim. The hundreds of yuan on Ye Ziyu's body still have to pay rent, and soon there will be little left. So for a long time, Ye Ziyu could only bring ten yuan when he went out every morning. Naturally, I didn't eat breakfast, and I bought a five-yuan boxed lunch on the way to eat Chinese food, and I went back to the basement where I lived for dinner, where the boxed lunch was cheaper, four yuan. In this way, he brought ten yuan to the door every day, and when he came back, he still had one yuan left in his pocket.

After the temperature dropped below freezing, Ye Ziyu even exercised a skill. Originally, every day when it was time to eat at noon, he would buy a boxed lunch when he met someone on the street at random, and squatted on the side of the road to eat. He is not embarrassed, because at this point, there are more people squatting on the side of the road to make box lunches, and most of them are young people like him who come to the capital to work hard. But the weather is so cold, and if you squat on the side of the road to eat, the meal will easily become cold, and it will be cold, which will be difficult to swallow.

So at this time, although Ye Ziyu was still squatting on the side of the road eating a boxed lunch, the frame style and speed were no longer the same as when the weather was warm. Lunch boxes are usually two boxes, one for vegetables and one for lunch, and when they are taken out of the incubator by the vendors and handed to the customers, they have become warm. Every time Ye Ziyu takes over such a box lunch, he always opens the lid of the box containing the rice first, then stacks the box containing the vegetables on the lid of the box containing the rice, and then lifts the lid on the top of the dish, crosses the five fingers of the left hand, and holds the two boxes steadily, pinching the chopsticks with his right hand, picking a chopstick dish first, stirring it in the rice, "whirring" two bites, and quickly eating it into his mouth. When there is only half a box of lunch left in the box, pour all the leftovers from the top box into the rice, and then throw away the top box. It is more convenient for him to hold a lunch box in his hand, with chopsticks stretched out, his head buried, and in a few seconds, the entire box of meals is shaved into his stomach. The speed of eating is not worse than the speed of Xingzi and Uncle Shi grabbing rice and shaving food in Stephen Chow's movie "Descendants of the Dragon".

To be honest, this is also forced out of the life in the capital. If Ye Ziyu didn't take a short time to finish the meal, then the weather of a few degrees below zero or even a dozen degrees would soon freeze the food into ice, how could he swallow it?

From the perspective of others, this life must be hard, but Ye Ziyu was unaware of it at that time. First of all, he himself believes that the hardships and hardships he endured when he was young because of hard work can be exchanged for wealth to repay him in the future. What's more, after graduation, you can still be with your beloved, which is the envy of many classmates. Lin Chuya said that there are so many couples in love among his classmates, and he is most optimistic about Ye Ziyu and Li Xin, if they can still be together a year after graduation, I am afraid that they will be inseparable in this life.

Ye Ziyu didn't pay much attention to food and housing, although the conditions in the basement were simple, as long as the people in the bedroom were not noisy. Hasn't he always lived like this in college? But there was one thing that he was extremely uncomfortable with. It's funny to say, Ye Ziyu has always been very picky about the bathroom. It's just that the bathroom in the basement here is so old-fashioned that there is not even a partition between the squatting position. He couldn't stand this at all. Fortunately, not far from the basement, there is a university of finance and economics. So every night, he would rather walk more than ten minutes to the school bathroom to solve the problem. The school is still a little far away, and it is not easy to go there, so Ye Ziyu has developed a problem again, and the time to go to the bathroom is particularly long. When he was done, he could sit and read a book in the classroom of the University of Finance.

After moving to the basement, Ye Ziyu still set off early every morning, riding his bicycle to the electronics market and the surrounding buildings to pull advertisements. At that time, as China's largest electronics market, the people working here had several common idols, all of whom were famous for their computer or software careers, such as Liu Chuanzhi, Qiu Bojun, Wang Xuan, etc., as well as Yang Yuanqing. Liu Chuanzhi, the president of Lenovo Group, is ready to step back into the background and promote Yang Yuanqing, who is only 33 years old, to take charge of Lenovo Dayin, which shocked the entire circle. People who work in the electronic market in Beijing have the most intuitive feelings, and they all look up to the mountains and take them as examples.

One day, Ye Ziyu ran to the building of Lenovo headquarters to pull advertisements, looking around in the corridor, very afraid of being blown out by the security guards, but he didn't want to run into Yang Yuanqing, he often saw each other's photos in the computer newspaper. Yang Yuanqing asked Ye Ziyu who to look for? Ye Ziyu stubbornly said, I came to your company to contact the advertisement. Yang Yuanqing said very politely that you should go to the advertising department for this matter, so he brought Ye Ziyu to the mouth of the advertising department, introduced a person and said, you talk to him. The man saw that the other party was brought by the president himself, and he didn't know where it came from, so he received him very politely. Although this person later told Ye Ziyu that their advertisements were all represented by cooperative companies, he politely rejected Ye Ziyu. But after Ye Ziyu walked out of the building, he was still very happy and felt very interesting.

A month passed quickly, and Ye Ziyu's performance was zero. On the day of his salary, he received 300 yuan. He thought to himself, my God, when I return to the basement later, I will have to pay 120 yuan for the bed fee, and the remaining 180 yuan will have to be topped for a month, how can I live? Ye Ziyu can't help but worry, it's so difficult to gain a foothold in the capital?
