Chen Shuya's master's program was excellent, so she was hired by a large multinational accounting firm shortly after returning to Melbourne. Wendi was always busy running the cleaning business at that time, and although he had successfully graduated, his grades were not very satisfactory, and finding a job became a thorny problem.

When Wendy heard that there was a job fair at his previous university, he went to try his luck with his resume and graduation transcript. Although the job fair here is not as crowded as in China, it also gathers a lot of recent graduates. As soon as Wendi walked into the campus, he found that both sides of the main road were lined with open-air stalls, each representing a company, and the publicists of each company were busy handing out registration forms to recruit graduates. As soon as Wendy stopped in front of a stall, the propagandist enthusiastically stepped forward and asked:

"Hello, are you interested in joining our company, we are committed to developing the Asian market, so we urgently need some cutting-edge talents who can speak Chinese."

"Okay, I'll fill out a registration form first." Wendy filled out the form with information about her degree and grades and submitted it.

The propagandist quickly skimmed Wendy's information, then returned the form to him, and said with an embarrassed face:

"I'm sorry, friend, but you may not be in the target class of people we recruited."

"Not part of your caste? What that means, I don't quite understand. "Wendy was confused by the propagandists,

The propagandist saw that Wendy had no interview experience, so he said frankly:

"I mean your grades are too low, we only accept graduates with high scores, sorry."

After hearing the propagandist's explanation, Wendy's face instantly turned red as if it had been burned. Although he knew in his heart that the propagandist was telling the ironclad truth, he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart. In this way, Wendi went to many stalls to apply, and the results were almost the same - the grades were not satisfactory, so he was not hired.

In Wendi's study career from elementary school to university, he has always been the kind of "highly talented student" shrouded in an aura of excellence, and has never been labeled as a "bad student" like today, the failure at the job fair hit Wendy hard, unfortunately, this is the beginning of the tragedy, as his resume was returned again and again, Wendy's self-confidence fell to the bottom, and he became more reticent.

Shu Ya had just joined the work and was busy with affairs, although she saw Wendi being hit, but in addition to comforting him from time to time, she couldn't spare much time to enlighten him. Shu Ya knew that her family could not live without income, and the top priority was to keep her job.

The global economic crisis has led many companies to lay off employees, let alone hire new ones. In addition to his usual resume delivery, Wendi also found a temporary job delivering pizza near his apartment. Although the salary is meager, it can be regarded as a delaying tactic. Four months after that. One day, Chen Hui suddenly called Wendi and Zhou Wei and said that he wanted to get together. So the three of them made an appointment to meet at the gate of Chen Hui's chef technical school, and Chen Hui saw the two and told him his plan.

"To be honest, I really don't want to read this chef major anymore, I don't have the material to read at all, so I don't think the road of skilled immigration will go through. So yesterday I discussed it with my dad and decided to use the money to do business and change to investment immigration. So today, I would like to ask you, do you have any intention of doing business in partnership? ”

Zhou Wei is still studying for a master's degree, and he still hung two courses last semester, so he doesn't know when he will graduate, so he naturally doesn't have the heart to participate. On the contrary, Wendi was like a tiger descending from the mountain, waiting for the opportunity to show his strength, but Wendi and Chen Hui hit it off.

Chen Hui's plan is to do casual clothing retail, because his family is in the clothing business, so he naturally has a supply of high-quality and low-cost goods. The only thing to consider now is the location of the retail storefront, which is usually in the city centre, and the renovation and rent alone cost millions of dollars, which Wendy and Chen Hui simply cannot afford. So the two started a regional survey in the whole city to find a store with good quality and low price. Hard work pays off, by chance, Wendy found that in the dock area of Melbourne, a southern hemisphere's largest, the world's third largest landscape Ferris wheel "Melbourne Star" is about to be built, and along with the Ferris wheel built together with the commercial street, there are countless shops to be rented, the person in charge of the commercial street property told Wendy that because the Ferris wheel has not yet been built, so the rent is more cost-effective, and when the entertainment facilities are sound, the rent may be doubled.

The early bird has something to eat, Wendi and Chen Hui discussed renting a shop at a low price in advance, and when the "Melbourne Star" is officially completed, it will surely attract countless tourists, and their business will definitely boom. In this way, Wendi and Chen Hui scraped together nearly 400,000 Australian dollars as the start-up fund for this business, followed by decoration, purchase, and publicity, and the two made a preliminary investment for nearly three months, although the "Melbourne Star", which they regarded as a cash cow, was not officially put into use. But tourists have gradually come to visit, the commercial street is full of people every day, business is very prosperous, Wen Di and Chen Hui are very busy, so they have to find Zhou Wei to help sell goods and collect money.

Although he was busy and tired every day, Wendy experienced the taste of receiving money for the first time in his life, and his self-confidence was regained.

Every day when the store closes after work, Wendy will look up at the behemoth in front of him, and silently thank it in his heart for the business opportunities it brings. The Ferris wheel project is indeed a cash cow, the business of the clothing store is getting better and better, Wendi and Shu Ya are also reconsidering the plan to buy a house, the requirements of the two are not high, it is nothing more than a place for two people, a place where they can have a sense of belonging. In this way, from Monday to Saturday, Wendi worked in the store, and on Sunday, he drove Shuya to the real estate agency to choose a suitable house.

It's really hard to find your dream home, Wendy and Shuya's budget is not low, but it's still difficult to find a house you like, usually the right price of the house on the market has some flaws, sometimes you see the house you want, the result is ridiculously high at the auction. Gradually, Shu Ya was a little discouraged.

"Otherwise, let's put our plans to buy a house on hold for the time being, maybe the timing is not right."

Wendi didn't want Shu Ya to be disappointed, so she decided to ask Guan Huixin for help and seek professional advice. Coincidentally, Guan Huixin has been working as a real estate agent recently, and she has a few existing houses for sale, so she made an appointment with Wendi to see the house.

Guan Huixin's introduction of the house is a two-story detached villa located about 15 kilometers away from the city center, although it is a second-hand house, but the house is in excellent condition, the house area is moderate, and full of artistic atmosphere, listen to Guan Huixin introduced, the former owner is an art teacher, but also very good at gardening, the backyard garden is pruned beautifully. Wendi, who loves art, was deeply attracted by the elegant artistic atmosphere of this house, and Shu Ya was also full of praise for the condition of this house, so with the full help of Guan Huixin, Wendi and Shu Ya bought their dream home at a very good price.

Guan Huixin's repeated help made Wendi very grateful, but he didn't know how to thank him, so he decided to invite Guan Huixin to dinner first to express his gratitude. But Guan Huixin declined Wendi's kindness and responded:

"There's no need to go out to eat, I still have children to take care of at home, if it's convenient, come to my house and have a meal at my house in the evening."

On Saturday night, Wendi and Shuya bought a lot of takeaways and came to Guan Huixin's house by appointment, but what puzzled Wendi was that Guan Huixin, who had been engaged in real estate for a long time, lived in a small and dilapidated house. Seeing the arrival of the guests, Guan Huixin hurriedly came out to greet her, and there was a little girl who was four or five years old next to her, the little girl had white skin and big eyes, holding her mother's hand tightly, and looked at the two strangers opposite with puzzled eyes.

Shu Ya saw the child's mother's love overflowing, and asked happily:

"Sister Huixin, this is your daughter, what a beautiful little girl!"

"Yes, her name is Diandian, and she's four years old. Dot, call brother and sister! ”

Dian was a little scared of life, and hurriedly hid behind her mother.

"By the way, Sister Huixin, isn't my brother-in-law at home? The last time I asked him to apply for an immigrant visa, I didn't thank him personally. ”

Hearing Wendi's inquiry, Guan Huixin's smile stiffened, and then she shook her head sadly and said:

"Our Lao Li has already left half a year ago......"

At dinner, Guan Huixin told Shu Ya and Wendi about her situation in the past year: not long after helping Wendi and Wen Di apply for visas, Lao Li died in a car accident, Guan Huixin not only suffered the pain of losing her husband, but also had to raise a little bit independently, so she couldn't work hard at all. The previously booming real estate business has deteriorated, and the customers have shrunk from large real estate developers to retail second-hand housing investors.

Shu Ya looked at the orphans and widows in front of her, she was very sad, so she comforted Huixin:

"Alas, the last time I said goodbye to my brother-in-law, it was a goodbye. Sister Huixin, if there is anything we can help you, just ask. ”

"Thank you, there's really nothing you can do to help, if the business continues to deteriorate, I'm going to sell the company, and then find a quiet job, and make plans when I grow up."

Although Huixin politely declined, Shu Ya would still help Huixin take care of it when she was free to relieve Huixin's pressure. With Shu Ya helping to take care of her daughter, Huixin can also spare more time to manage the real estate company, although there is no great improvement, but it is finally a lot more stable. Huixin is very grateful for Shu Ya's help, and Diandian also likes this big sister who always plays with her, and in this way, Shu Ya and Huixin gradually became close friends who talked about everything.

For northerners like Wendy, the hardest time in Melbourne is January and February, because these two months are the summer in Australia, and Melbourne has a subtropical climate, so the temperature in these two months is usually high and scary, and the average is about 30 degrees. This year's heat wave was even more intense, with highs climbing to 45 degrees Celsius at one point.

Seeing today's high temperature warning, Wendy came to the store early. Even though it was only eight o'clock in the morning, the fiery sun had already risen to the center of the sky. Along the pedestrian street, the usually hard asphalt road has been sunburned as soft as a marshmallow. The whole of Melbourne is like a giant sauna, and people are so hot that they can't afford to struggle. At noon, the sun released its own heat aggressively, the temperature had exceeded 60 degrees, and passers-by also hid in different shops to enjoy the shade, and the whole pedestrian street was very quiet, leaving only the air conditioning between the shops in the weak **.

Zhou Wei walked out of the clothing store and stretched out an arm to expose it to the sun, and the burning pain instantly invaded Zhou Wei's nerves, making him withdraw his arm violently.

"I'm going, I want to dry the dead, if I go all the way home, I won't be able to turn into a roast duck on the stove!"

Zhou Wei pursed his lips, squinted at the red sun, and said on a whim:

"Wendi, Chen Hui, do you want to eat fried eggs?"

Wen Di and Chen Hui haven't figured out the situation yet, Zhou Wei has already taken the tin foil and raw eggs, walked to the middle of the road at the door, spread the tin foil on the ground, and beat the eggs on it, the magic is that it didn't take a few minutes, the raw eggs that were originally liquid began to slowly harden and cook.

"Great, I don't have to pay the gas bill in the future!" Zhou Wei, who has always been willing to spoof, came to the spirit and shouted to the store: "You two, hurry up and eat eggs!" ”

Chen Hui, who was busy collecting money, didn't pay attention to him at all, while Wendi walked out of the store, squinted at Zhou Wei who was squatting on the ground, and said:

"Big brother, can you stop making trouble, I've been busy all morning, and I'll tell you the truth, I have a headache that is about to crack now......"

Wendi's voice didn't fall, only heard a loud "click", so loud that it scared Zhou Wei to sit on the ground. The people who were shopping in the store were attracted by the loud cracking sound and took to the streets to see what was going on. Zhou Wei hurriedly got up from the ground, and asked Wendi with a sad face:

"Wendy, isn't your head really cracked, and you're still making such a big move?"

Wendy didn't answer, just raised his head and looked at the "Melbourne Star" in front of him, this behemoth rotated at its usual uniform speed, accompanied by the sound of metal rubbing, gradually slowed down, and finally stopped completely.

At this time, Chen Hui also rushed out of the store and asked:

"What's wrong, is it an explosion in a store?"

Wendy frowned and replied:

"If you guess correctly, our 'cash cow' is broken!"

As Wendy expected, the largest giant Ferris wheel in the Southern Hemisphere and the third largest in the world, the Melbourne Star, broke down after forty days of operation.

For the next week, the whole street was talking about the Ferris wheel's malfunction. Although the property management department of the commercial street has always claimed that the Ferris wheel was only a minor accident, according to people familiar with the matter, the reason for the failure was that the designer did not expect the extreme hot temperature in Melbourne to cause the center shaft of the Ferris wheel to be heated and deformed, and the repair cycle is expected to be long.

While everyone is talking, Wendy is worried about whether the failure of the Ferris wheel will lead to a decline in business. Thankfully, for the next two weeks, the shopping street was still full of people and customers, and Wendy was temporarily relieved.

Unfortunately, the ferris wheel accident was highlighted in the evening news, and the Japanese designer held a press conference to admit the design shortcomings, and expected the repair of the Ferris wheel to take up to four years. The news exploded in Wendy's mind like a bolt from the blue. After a period of dizziness, Wendi calmed down and prepared to discuss countermeasures with Chen Hui and Zhou Wei.

"You don't have to be too pessimistic, at least the whole commercial street still exists, people will still come to shop, our things are good and cheap, and we are not afraid that there will be no sales." Chen Hui's attitude remains optimistic.

"I very much hope that what you say is right, but you think about it, if there is no Ferris wheel in this place, will others come, there is only one industrial container terminal within a radius of more than ten kilometers, customers want to shop and go to the CBD shopping concentration area, you also said that the Ferris wheel is the cash cow here, without it, this place has no value!"

Zhou Wei saw that the atmosphere was tense, so he began to persuade Wendi:

"It's okay, at least this Ferris wheel will be repaired when the time comes, and the customers will come back then......"

"You're saying it too easily, right? The maintenance project will take four years, and we are weak, so how can we have enough funds to spend these four years? There is also a loss! ”

Although Wendi's remarks were pessimistic, they were facts, and everyone fell silent, leaving only Chen Hui sighing.

Although Melbourne's summer is still scorching, winter on the high street has already arrived early.
