Chapter 346: Life Needs Persistence
Huo Meng stood quietly in the corridor of the basement for a while, and at this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps in the corridor.
Huo Meng turned his head to look and saw a man who looked like McJackson walking over.
Huo Meng is actually no stranger to this man who looks a little similar to McJackson, this man is called Zhang Yiyuan, like Huo Meng, he is a North Drifter.
Zhang Yiyuan's hometown is in the Northeast Ice City, and the family environment is similar to Huo Meng, they were all born in poor families, and later became children of single-parent families, and the only difference is that Zhang Yiyuan's father is a hero, who once saved the lives of three people, and later died young, and is a great and memorable father.
And Huo Meng's father is a strange father who does not hesitate to abandon his wife for the sake of the junior, and would rather spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for other people's children to study abroad, rather than give his own son a penny.
is also a person who does not have a father, but Huo Meng is very envious of Zhang Yiyuan, because he has a heroic father, he has a worthy respect, even before he died, he told his son: "You have to live bravely and strongly like a man!" "Dad.
Later, Zhang Yiyuan's life was very similar to Huo Meng's life, they both lived with their poor mother, and they couldn't bear to watch their mother suffer and suffer from the cold eyes of others, so both of them secretly decided in their hearts that they must make a name for themselves in the future, and they must let their mother live a beautiful and dignified life.
Zhang Yiyuan's dream is to hold a concert in the Bird's Nest in the future, buy a Daben, smash it in front of his first girlfriend, and then buy a luxury villa opposite Li Ka-shing's house.
Huo Meng's ideal is to defeat Tang Sanshao, defeat tomatoes, and defeat potatoes in the future, and become a new Internet god, with an annual income of 10 million, take his mother to Australia to eat lobster, and travel around the world on the quantum number, so that his mother can appreciate the beauty of the world and make her the happiest mother in the world.
The ideal of both people, both are plump, however... The reality is ......
Zhang Yiyuan came three and a half years earlier than Huo Meng, worked more than 20 jobs, slept on the streets, worked as a beggar, and had thoughts of suicide, that was the Chinese New Year's Eve of the third year he came to the imperial capital, Zhang Yiyuan's dream was not realized for a long time, desperate, he felt as if the whole world was against him, he could not see hope, could not see tomorrow, he walked on the overpass, closed his eyes and wanted to jump down, did not want to bear the pressure and pain that he could no longer bear.
And at this time, an old beggar gave him a slap and woke him up, "You are not afraid of death, are you still afraid of living?" You are a young person who has relatives and parents at home, what will happen to them when you die? A helpless person like me is still alive, what qualifications do you have to die? ”
The old beggar's words completely woke him up, yes, a helpless, old beggar is struggling to live, he is an able-bodied person, a person with an old mother, how can he die?
If she died, wouldn't her mother, who was already suffering, even worse?
If God is unfair to him, then what fault did the mother make? And let her suffer the pain of the white-haired man sending the black-haired man?
Thinking of these, Zhang Yiyuan completely woke up, no longer mentioning life and death, but used all his energy into his own hard work, half a year later, he met Huo Meng who came to the imperial capital, the two were of the same age, and had similar experiences, so they soon became friends, slept in the basement together, distributed flyers and posters together, and later, moved into this underground capsule apartment together, and became a member of the North Drifting Ant Clan.
A few years have passed, but neither of them seems to have changed much, especially in the face of ideals, there seems to be a tacit inferiority.
It's just that Zhang Yiyuan seems to have ushered in his own opportunity recently, and the program he signed up for some time ago has finally been reviewed, and he is going to participate in the program today.
This program is a recruitment program, and each episode will have a big boss of a well-known company to the scene, which is a valuable job opportunity, if the job search is successful, it is likely to change their destiny.
Zhang Yiyuan is good at acting, can sing and dance, and his eloquence is also quite good, so in terms of job hunting, he has an obvious advantage over Huo Meng, so when he went to participate in this show, Huo Meng was also full of confidence in him, and the brothers had already agreed before, no matter who is rich in the future, they will not forget each other.
Seeing Zhang Yiyuan come back dejectedly, Huo Meng was a little strange: "Yiyuan, how is it?" The show is still smooth, right? ”
Zhang Yiyuan didn't answer, he went back to his capsule apartment directly, took off his clothes, and had a slightly angry look on his face, "Those bosses are all snobbish eyes who look down on people, seeing that I Zhang Yiyuan is not successful now, they will make things difficult for me in every way, look down on me, put on a stinky posture of being high, domineering, as if everyone is inferior to them, hum, one day, I, Zhang Yiyuan, will stand at the peak of the stage, condescending and colorful, I can definitely do it when I say it!" ”
Zhang Yiyuan shouted excitedly, Huo Meng has heard this kind of words many times, and this is what he often shouts in his heart, but Huo Meng is not as passionate as Zhang Yiyuan, and some words he only buries in his heart and is unwilling to say them in person.
"One yuan, don't be angry, not everyone is Bole, and not everyone may know Maxima, but we can't be willing to let the pearl be dusty because others can't see the pearl, work hard, continue to work hard, sooner or later we will have the day to get ahead." Huo Meng patted Zhang Yiyuan on the shoulder and said.
Zhang Yiyuan looked at Huo Meng and nodded heavily, "Huo Meng, come on, even if people in this world look down on us, we will never lose our faith, success will belong to us sooner or later!" ”
"Well, success will belong to us sooner or later!" Huo Meng nodded heavily and hugged Zhang Yiyuan tightly.
[You and I are mortals... Born in the world... It's hard to run around all day... There is no time to spare...]
Suddenly, Huo Meng's mobile phone rang, and he said to Zhang Yiyuan embarrassedly, so he went to wash his hands and call indirectly.
Looking at the unfamiliar number on the screen of the old-fashioned Nokia mobile phone, Huo Meng frowned strangely, "Whose phone is this?" ”
With some hesitation, he pressed the answer button, and soon a man's voice came from the opposite side.
"Hello? Is it Xiao Huo Gongzi? Before Huo Meng could speak, the other party couldn't wait to speak.
"Yes, I'm Xiao Huo Gongzi, who are you?" Huo Meng asked strangely.
"Hello, I am Ah Yao, the editor-in-chief of Yangsheng Chinese Network, I have added you QQ several times, but there is no response, so I took the liberty to call and want to talk to you about your work, is it convenient for you?" Ah Yao's wording was very polite, which surprised Huo Meng a little.
"You are the editor-in-chief of Yangsheng Chinese Network, Ah Yao?" When Huo Meng spoke, he obviously felt that his heartbeat was speeding up, and he felt that his blood pressure was a little higher.
Although the possibility of a liar is not ruled out, even if he is a liar, this is the first time Huo Meng has encountered a liar who did not hesitate to call in order to deceive himself.
"Yes, I am the editor-in-chief of Yangsheng Chinese Network Ah Yao, your new book "Sacred Land Dragon Ride" on a certain point Chinese Network our editor took a look, I think the creativity is good, and the storyline is also more exciting, I don't know if you have any intention of coming to Yangsheng Chinese Network to develop?" Ah Yao asked straight to the point.
Hearing Ah Yao's words, Huo Meng was a little flattered, because liar editors almost cast a wide net to catch more fish, many times, when you add him QQ, he doesn't know which work you are the author of, and this editor-in-chief who claims to be Ah Yao can actually know his QQ number, and also know his mobile phone number, and can accurately say the name of his new book, which has surprised Huo Meng.
"Teacher, are you saying that my work can be published on Yangsheng Chinese Network?" Huo Meng asked tentatively.
"Yes, it's totally possible, I don't know, the copyright of your work is still in your hands, or have you signed a contract with other websites?"
"No, no, teacher, the copyright of the work is in my hands, and I haven't signed a contract with any website." Huo Meng hurriedly replied.
"Hehe, in that case, are you interested in signing a contract with our website?" Ah Yao asked with a smile.
"Of course, of course I have the intention, but I don't know if the signing that the teacher said is an A-level contract or a cooperative contract?" Huo Meng asked with some concern.
"Hehe, we don't have a cooperation contract here, only A-level signing, that is, regular signing, but A-level signing is divided into three categories, one is buyout contracting, one is sharing contracting, and one is sharing guaranteed contracting." Ah Yao patiently explained.
"Oh, so what kind of contract am I?" Huo Meng forcibly endured his excitement and asked, because before this he had seen the benefits of Yangsheng Chinese Network, the welfare measures are much better than other websites, just because the signing rate is very low, so Huo Meng did not dare to go before, now as long as he can sign a contract, even if it is a minimum insurance of 1,200 yuan a month, it is definitely a conscientious website.
"What we provide you with is a share of the guaranteed contract, 1,000 words guaranteed 20, plus a share, that is, if your income is less than 1,000 words 20, you will be paid 1,000 words and 20, if the income is higher than 1,000 words and 20, it will be distributed according to the share, only the electronic version will be signed, and other copyrights will not be affected, do you think it is okay?" Ah Yao asked politely.
Hearing this, Huo Meng's tears flowed down, the guaranteed share of 1,000 words and 20 words, and only signed the electronic version, it is really the conscience of the industry!
"Yes, yes, absolutely!" Huo Meng cried with joy, at this time his mood was like a beggar who had been hungry for three days, and suddenly found a pack of spicy strips in the garbage can, the sour feeling was by no means something that ordinary people could experience. (To be continued.) )
