In the morning, the man was sleeping in a daze, the phone rang, he grabbed it and saw that it was Pan Pan's, "Hey? ”

"Man, have you gone to Beijing?"

"yes, it's all here, it's the first day today."

"It's fast enough."

"Well, what's the matter with you?" The man went straight to the point, what he was worried about was the phone bill of more than a minute for a minute, and he couldn't chat blindly if he had nothing to do.

"Is Jiajia next to you?"

"Oh, wait a minute."

The man handed the phone to Jiajia and whispered: "If you have something, say it quickly, don't waste the phone bill." ”

Jiajia glared at the man, picked up the phone and turned her head, "Pan Pan, what's wrong?" ”

After a while, I saw Jiajia suddenly sit up and say excitedly, "Really? Great! Did you get in? What major? Oh, that's good, you have to take advantage of it, well, okay, if we have a chance, we will go to Xiamen to see you go......" The man didn't have the heart to listen to their chat, and he silently calculated in his heart, it had been almost three minutes. He poked Jiajia and pointed to his wrist, suggesting that time was not short.

Jiajia kicked the man angrily, "Well, that's okay, I won't talk to you more, I have time to chat, when we are stable in Beijing, you come to Beijing to play with us." ”

Hanging up the phone, Jiajia yelled at the man angrily: "Don't be on the side of this matter when I call in the future." ”

"No, I'm worried about the phone bill, and we'll have to be smart now."

Jiajia sighed angrily and said, "I know, I know, it's annoying." After saying that, he threw his phone on the bed.

The man picked up the phone, looked at the number, and asked Jiajia, "What's the matter with Pan Pan?" ”

Jiajia changed her expression and said happily: "Pan Pan has been admitted to Xiamen University, and he is still majoring in journalism, which is really good." ”

"Ouch, that's really good, what about the relationship between the two of them?"

"Ouch, I really didn't ask, you were urging you to hang up the phone." Jiajia glared at the man, "But looking at her happy appearance, it should be fine, there is no problem." ”

Jiajia thought about it alone, and said to herself: "But his boyfriend is really flowery, it's really uneasy, cough." ”

The man smiled, fell on the bed and said, "You live your life first, and you other people's hearts every day, I think people are better off than the two of us." ”

Jiajia laughed, she dragged the man up and said, "Don't be poor, hurry up and get down to business, where to find a job?" ”

Now that you have a place to live, the next step is to hurry up and find a job. The man unfolded the map and checked it, only to know that the place where they lived was called Pu Huangyu, which was in the south of Beijing, and the Beijing job fair was mainly in the National Exhibition, which was the North Third Ring Road, and the distance was not close. He and Jiajia have been looking for jobs in the newspaper for the past two days, probably just after the New Year, and found that there are not many job postings, there are no good opportunities, and the large-scale job fairs are nowhere to be seen. Two days passed, and the man renewed the house payment for another two days. In the past two days, the two of them couldn't sit still, so they simply took the bus directly to the National Exhibition to have a look, hoping to encounter a small job fair, but they found nothing.

After a few more days, the man and Jiajia each only found an interview opportunity from the newspaper, and went all the way to the interview, but there was no follow-up, seeing that the hotel accommodation and living expenses had spent a thousand yuan, the man was really panicked, and if he continued like this, he would really have to go home if he couldn't last a month. Jiajia also became agitated, and the novelty and excitement of coming to Beijing for the first time were wiped out by the cruelty of reality. Tomorrow is a new day, and the front desk of the hotel called again to ask if I want to continue my stay. The man did not readily agree to continue his stay this time, but said that he would call back later.

The two of them sat on the bed in the hotel, silently watching TV. Jiajia sighed and said: "Man, man, why don't we stay for another two days, if we can't find a job again, let's go back, how is the northern city also a provincial capital, we are also familiar with it, the consumption level is also low, it will be easier to survive, and then we have a little foundation and then come to Beijing, it may be more appropriate, what do you say?" ”

The man didn't speak, and the huge pressure to survive made him begin to doubt his original decision. But he did not waver in his determination to work hard in Beijing, but blamed himself for being too reckless, and came here without even thinking about the most basic accommodation, and now he is in a dilemma.

Just when the man was pondering, Jiajia suddenly remembered something and said, "Man, when you were leaving, didn't Brother Shengli give you a phone call from his classmate in Beijing?" ”

When the man heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly went to look through his luggage to find the phone. In fact, when Shengli called him, the man didn't care, the first was that he overestimated his ability and didn't realize that the difficulty of arriving in Beijing would be so great; The second is that the man's personality belongs to the type of man who does not seek people, and he has always believed that he must rely on himself to solve difficulties and not trouble others. But now he finds that breaking into Beijing is far from being as simple as he thought. In the face of the pressures of life, many of people's principles will change. The man had to beg for help, and although he didn't have much hope for this Beijing friend he had never met, he still had to call and give it a try.

Fortunately, the note that Shengli gave at the beginning was sandwiched in the academic certificate by the man. He unfolded the piece of paper, on which were the words Victory had written: Van der Biao, followed by a phone number.

Jiajia also hurried over, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes and said, "You call and try to see if you can help us." ”

The man nodded, he took out his mobile phone, entered the mobile phone number seriously, and sent ...... The phone was connected, and the other party's waiting tone was a wonderful excerpt from Zhao Benshan's Spring Festival Gala sketch: just listen to a click of a thunder, and Township Chief Fan was born...... The man couldn't help but be brought into this funny scene, and before he could react, a deep voice suddenly came out of the phone: "Hey? Who? "The call went through.

The man hurriedly came back to his senses and said hurriedly: "Hey, hello, is it Brother Fan?" ”

"Who?"

"I am a former colleague of ***, when I said that I wanted to come to Beijing to develop, Brother Shengli told me that I could contact you when I was free in Beijing, I don't know if he told you, hehe."

"Oh-" The other party let out a long oh, as if he suddenly realized, "I know, we had a party during the Spring Festival, and Shengli told me, saying that a little brother, people are very good, and I want to come to Beijing to develop, so that I can take care of it more, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

"Where are you now?"

"I'm already in Beijing."

"Oh, so where do you live?"

"I'm here now."

"Oh, do you live with a relative?"

"No, we don't have any relatives in Beijing, hehe, the hotel we live in temporarily."

"Ah, are you going to stay in a hotel?"

"No, we are not familiar with it when we first came to Beijing, we want to wait until we find a job to rent a house near the unit, but now we don't see any good job opportunities, and we don't know what to do."

"Ouch, look at you little buddy, you should have told me before you came, I can arrange it for you in advance, you got it...... Where are you now? ”

"Pu Huang Yu City Hotel."

"Come on, you clean up first, I'll go to you for dinner in the evening, and after eating, you can come to my house first, at least you don't have to spend that unjust money."

When the man heard this, he said excitedly: "Brother Fan, is this appropriate?" ”

There was a hearty laugh on the other side of the phone, "Haha, don't be polite to me, I was a bunk brother with Shengli back then, and the person he greeted me definitely couldn't be wrong." That's it, I'll pick you up at 6 p.m., and I'll stay at my house from today. ”

The man thanked him for a thousand thanks, hung up the phone, and lay down on the bed relaxedly.

With a place to live, the man and Jiajia are happy again, and they have renewed hope for life in Beijing. Jiajia regained her lively and clever personality and began to fight with men in bed. Enough trouble, Jiajia lay on the man and asked, "Then let's check out in a while?" ”

"Oh, yes." The man turned over, climbed to the phone, and dialed the front desk, "Front desk, 115 check out tonight, yes, no renewal, well, thank you." ”

Hung up the phone, the man half lay on the bed, grabbed the TV remote control, and began to adjust the channel aimlessly. Jiajia sneakily crawled over and asked, "What are you doing?" ”

"Watch TV."

"What TV to watch?"

"What to watch on what TV?" The man was confused by the question.

Jiajia smiled evilly and looked at the man and said, "I have lived in the hotel for seven days, I have spent almost a thousand yuan, and I am about to leave, hurry up and use it......"

The man looked at Jiajia and said with a serious face: "Cough, I think you should mend the tire, it's always leaking, and if you don't pump for a few days, you won't have energy, are you going to be tired of the pump?" ”

As soon as Jiajia heard that the man was joking with her again, before she could reply, the man threw the remote control on the other bed and said, "The pump is here......"

At around 5 o'clock in the evening, Brother Fan called and said that he would be there in ten minutes and asked them to wait at the door of the hotel. Jiajia and the man hurriedly packed their luggage and went to the front desk to go through the formalities.

Came to the front desk, handed over the room card, and the staff shouted on the walkie-talkie: "115 check out, 115 check out." ”

"Roger." The man and Jiajia stood in front of the counter, chatting leisurely.

After two minutes, the man heard the voice on the intercom: "You can check out...... 115 Haven't the guests stayed in the past few days? I didn't get out of bed for seven days. ”

The front desk staff didn't answer, and while going through the formalities for the man, he asked, "Have you lived here for the past few days?" ”

The man looked puzzled and said, "Yes, we live every day." ”

The little girl at the front desk muttered as if to herself: "The waiter who cleaned the room said that you haven't opened your bed for the past few days." ”

The man poked his head into the counter and asked, "What is a bed-opening?" ”

The little girl raised her head and looked at the man and Jiajia and said, "It's just to sleep at night, take off the bedspread, and lift the quilt inside, you haven't lifted the bedspread in the past few days, and the quilt inside hasn't been moved, how have you lived these days?" ”

After hearing this, the man's face turned red to the base of his neck, he and Jiajia didn't know that there was such a thing, they took out the quilt from the cabinet every day, lay directly on the bed to sleep, and got up the next day to fold the quilt and put it back in an orderly manner.

The two of them walked out of the hotel with red faces and stood at the door waiting for Brother Fan. Jiajia pressed the man with her knee and said: "You pig, we haven't touched the sheets after sleeping together for the past few days, and if you don't understand or ask, you know that you can beat a swollen face and become fat." ”

The man pinched Jiajia back and said: "Look at your little bit of interest, shouting every day not to waste it, don't waste it, everyone rolls the sheets, you pull me to roll the bedspread every day, you really didn't waste me for a long time." ”

"Hey, you kid don't ask if you understand that you can make me sleep on the bedspread, you still have a reason, see if I don't clean you up!" The two of them were fighting again.

Just as they were making trouble, they saw a Santana slowly driving towards them from a distance. The man had a hunch that it was Brother Fan, so he bent down and stared at the cab. The car came to a slow stop in front of them, and a tall and fat man got out of the car and shouted at the man: "Xiao Du? ”

The man hurriedly walked over and said, "Brother Fan, it's me, it's me, hehe." ”

Brother Fan smiled and shook the man's hand, then looked back and said, "This is ......"

The man hurriedly introduced: "This is my girlfriend Jiajia." ”

Jiajia also stepped forward with a smile on her face and shook hands with Brother Fan: "Brother Fan is good." ”

Brother Fan nodded and said to the man: "Okay, the family will go north, I welcome you on behalf of the people of Beijing, haha." Let's go, get in the car, and I'll invite you to taste the authentic old Peking shabu. ”

The man and Jiajia stuffed their luggage into the trunk, got into the car, and found that there was a beautiful girl in the car.

The hot copper pot and fresh mutton mobilized everyone's emotions at once. Brother Fan doesn't drink because he drives, and men don't drink either, so he planned not to drink, but it was Brother Fan's girlfriend Qu An'an who was interested and wanted to drink some. Jiajia didn't want to spoil the fun, so she happily accepted the invitation, but the result was that the two girls drank flamboyantly, and the two old men kept persuading. Full of wine and food, An An and Jiajia held hands and went to shout, Brother Fan raised his hand and shouted: "Waiter, pay the bill!" The man handed Brother Fan a cigarette and lit it.

When the two girls came back, Brother Fan waved his hand and said, "Let's go, go home!" ”

The car is speeding on the Third Ring Road, and it is the time when the neon lights are flashing and shining in Beijing at 10 o'clock. Through the car window, the man looked at the rows of high-rise buildings and the bustling city, and the yearning for Beijing came to his heart again. He felt that he was right, this was the life he longed for, and he wanted to prove to the city that a hot-blooded young man would quickly integrate into it, grow up, and eventually become the master of the city.

The car turned off the main road of the Third Ring Road and began to move slowly along the car river. The man had been embarrassed to ask Brother Fan about the specific address and community of his home, but with the direction of the car, he became inexplicably excited. In the direction of the car, there are high-rise buildings all over the eyes, and I think that Brother Fan is running his own advertising company, the size is a boss, and it is normal to have a mansion. The men and women were embarrassed, thinking about whether they needed to get out of the car and buy some gifts first, or they would be embarrassed to enter the door.

The car walked for a while, and got into an alley, the ground was potholed, and the bumps were so good that Jiajia almost threw up. After a difficult turn, I got into a neighborhood in the 80s, where the yard was full of miscellaneous household belongings, and there were a lot of bicycles and tricycles at random.

"Here, you go down first, I'll park the car." Brother Fan greeted.

The three of them got out of the car first, Jiajia and An An were a little drunk, and their emotions were still very high, chatting and laughing, the man looked around the community, and by the illumination of the headlights of the passing vehicles, he saw the red brick building in front of him read: No. 7 Courtyard in Shuguangli.

Brother Fan parked the car and beckoned everyone upstairs. The group came to the third floor with their luggage, Brother Fan stopped, took out the key to open the door, led into the house, threw the key on the table at the door, turned around and said, "Come on, enter the house." ”

The man and Jiajia entered the room in a row. The man took a cursory look, it was an old two-bedroom apartment, the living room was very small, and there was basically no place to put his feet with a shoe cabinet and a table; On the left hand is a small bedroom, which is also eight square meters; On the right hand is a large bedroom, which is only fifteen square meters. As soon as they entered the house, a head poked out of the small bedroom and looked at them curiously. Brother Fan hurriedly took out a cigarette and handed it over: "Daqi, you haven't rested yet." ”

The buddies in the hut took the cigarette and looked at the man, and they asked, "This is your new brother in Beijing, right?" ”

Brother Fan looked a little embarrassed, and he smiled and replied: "Well, a little brother and his daughter-in-law, who just came to Beijing and are not familiar with the place, come to me for the time being." ”

Daqi lit a cigarette and said with a helpless smile: "Lao Fan is really a good person, your business at the Beijing reception station is really good, just sent away one and two, haha." Welcome, welcome! ”

The man stood next to him, not knowing what was going on, so he could only laugh with him.

After saying hello, the man and Jiajia entered the big house, which was the room of Brother Fan and An An. After settling down a little, Brother Fan explained: This house is actually shared, and one person lives in the small room, and Brother Fan and An live in the big room. Brother Fan has a lot of friends, and he is enthusiastic about righteousness, and many people who come to Beijing for the first time will transition to his side first, so people often come and go, and Daqi on the other side will half-jokingly count down Lao Fan. Only then did the man understand that he took a sip of water and looked at this humble room, except for a big bed, a large wardrobe, a table and a TV, there was nothing to put down. Behind the door lay a bed board vertically.

The man smiled and pointed to the bed board with his hand and said, "Brother Fan, then let's sleep on that bed board at night, Jiajia and I are both thin and can sleep." ”

Brother Fan shook his hand and said, "Farewell brother, someone is sleeping on that door panel, and my other buddy is also living with me these days, and he hasn't found a job, so he will be here with me." ”

The man was a little surprised, there were already three people living in this house. He looked at the house again, and there was no place to sleep.

Brother Fan saw the man's confusion, so he walked to the bedside, patted the big bed and said, "You can only be wronged these days and sleep in the big bed with us." ”

After hearing this, the man's jaw almost dropped and asked, "This, how do you live here?" Brother Fan didn't seem to have arranged it this way, and said with full experience: "It's okay, my bed is big, let's come sideways, and the four people who lie down are not crowded at all, you can try it." After speaking, he also greeted the man.

The man looked up at Jiajia, Jiajia looked at the big bed stupidly, although the wine had not passed, but he also understood what was going on, and was thinking about how to sleep for a while?

Everyone chatted for a while, and they were indeed sleepy, so they washed up briefly and prepared for bed. The four of them stood in front of the bed, turning around in the same pretense as the two actors, and no one was embarrassed to be the first to get into bed. After turning for a while, Brother Fan couldn't hold it back, took off his shoes first, sat down in the middle of the bed, patted his left side and said, "Man, you sleep on my left, my wife sleeps on my right, and Jiajia sleeps on your left, is this an arrangement?" ”

The man thought about it, this might be the most reasonable way, so he nodded, looked at Jiajia again, and Jiajia also looked back, expressing his acquiescence. So, the four of them only took off their coats and outer pants, and lay on the bed in sweaters and sweaters.

The bed is not small, but it is still very cramped to wear such a thick four people lying together. The man squeezed as much as he could, to make more space for Brother Fan. Brother Fan is a big person, he doesn't seem to care about these things, and he chats with and without a match. An An seemed to be a person who had experienced this battle, and he didn't show any special reaction, lying meekly in the innermost part, silently closing his eyes.

After more than ten minutes, everyone stopped chatting and slowly went to sleep. At this time, An An turned over and pressed his leg on Brother Fan at once, and Brother Fan also turned over and twisted his face towards the man. The man didn't open his eyes, but Brother Fan's heavy breathing made the man judge that if Brother Fan pouted, he would probably kiss his face. So, the man also quietly turned over and twisted his face towards Jiajia. In such a posture, Jiajia felt very oppressed, so she also subconsciously turned over, facing the wall.

The night became quieter, and Brother Fan even began to snore. The man slept very lightly, and the sound of snoring in his ears made it difficult for him to sleep. He was embarrassed to disturb Brother Fan, so he could only close his eyes and recuperate. Suddenly, a hot breath in the man's stomach moved from top to bottom, and a steaming stinky fart was freshly baked. The man closed his eyes, still smoked by his own gas bomb, it seems that he has eaten too much mutton today. After a few seconds, I heard Brother Fan snort in panic like a nightmare, then he clicked his mouth a few times, turned his face away, and the snoring disappeared. Under the cover of darkness, the man grinned sinisterly and smiled.

Just when the man was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard the sound of a key at the door, and then heard a bang closing the door. Immediately after, the lights in the house were turned on. All four of them were awakened by the sound and light, and sat up in unison, looking at the people who had just entered the room. The person who just came in turned on the light and saw that there were four people sitting on the bed, and they were also startled, and when they came back to their senses, they asked angrily: "What is the situation with Lao Fan?" ”

Brother Fan squinted his eyes and said, "My buddy, the man and his daughter-in-law just came to Beijing and came to stay with me for a few days, why are you so late?" ”

The buddy looked at the man and nodded, didn't say much, took off the green schoolbag on his body and hung it up, and said: "Go drinking, a few buddies have nothing to do to play cards, let the winning guests have a treat, play a little late, don't say much, I'm also sleepy, sleep." With that, he quickly took out the bed board behind the door, put it at the foot of the man's bed, took out a set of bedding rolls from the cupboard, unfolded it with a moment, and began to undress.

The man watched the big man take off his coat and sweater, take off his jeans and hairless pants, and finally take off his fine naked, wearing only a small pink panties, and habitually slapped his big ass a few times, so scared that Jiajia quickly turned his head and pretended to fall asleep.

The man was dumbfounded, thinking that even if he didn't take care of the girl in the house, he wouldn't have to take it off so much in this winter, right?

The big man didn't seem to care at all, and after lying down, he looked up at the man and asked, "Do you sleep?" ”

The man nodded.

The big man leaped up, reached out and turned off the light, and then hopped back into his bed, and said no more. The man also lay flat on the bed, gradually closing his eyes.

In any case, for the time being, I have a foothold that does not cost money, and the next step is to hurry up and find a job. In the past few days, the man and Jiajia have gotten up relatively early, firstly, because they have something in their hearts and cannot sleep steadily, and secondly, they really can't sleep well with such a "quadruple sleeping method". Especially Jiajia, I always feel very awkward. They basically get up at 6 o'clock every day, the house is small, and a few people can't turn around after getting up, so the man and the man get up and wash up quickly and go out. They say they're looking for a job, but where is the job? Of course, newspapers must be bought every day, but the information obtained is simply not enough, and I never find a suitable job. There have been no big job fairs, but there are a few small ones, and they don't care so much about it, and as long as there is, they go because they have a lot of time to squander. In addition, because the man has work experience in TV stations, he found all the addresses of TV stations in Beijing through the Internet, and ran to hand in his resume one by one. A week has passed, all resumes have been lost, and the work is still not visible.

On the weekend, Brother Fan rested, and the man felt that it was so troublesome for others, and he couldn't get over it, so he insisted on inviting Brother Fan and his family to have a meal. Brother Fan was not polite, and the four of them found a restaurant to sit together. After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, everyone relaxed a lot, and unconsciously, there were more words in their hearts.

Men and women usually don't smoke, but when they drink and socialize, they inevitably come to one. He lit a cigarette, leisurely spit out a smoke ring and asked, "Brother Fan, Brother Shengli said that you opened an advertising company in Beijing, what kind of business is it?" ”

Brother Fan took a bite of food and replied: "It's mainly outdoor advertising, that is, station light boxes, roadside billboards or something." ”

"Is that business easy?"

"There are actually a lot of customers, but I am contracted, that is, a second-level agent, taking resources from others and then looking for customers to sell. It used to be good at the beginning, but in recent years, there have been more and more outdoor advertising, the price war has been fierce, the profits are getting thinner and thinner, and the appetite of customers for kickbacks is getting bigger and bigger, and they often owe money. Brother Fan introduced the man clearly in one breath.

The man nodded while listening, and only today did he understand what kind of business Brother Fan was doing. Brother Fan took a sip of wine alone, and then said: "When I just graduated, when I was advertising in 1992 and 1993, there were few outdoor advertising signs, I contracted a few street signs, and rented them to enterprises, and the profits were very considerable. Brother Fan took a sip of wine alone, chewed the food in his mouth, as if tasting a different taste, and continued, "But in recent years, outdoor advertising has expanded rapidly, street signs are everywhere, discounts are getting bigger and bigger, and it is becoming more and more difficult to make money." Brother Fan pointed at An An and said, "She has also seen that one of my original partners, who was also a classmate of ours back then, saw that the business was not good, and broke up with me, and without waiting for my consent, he swept away all the cash, and the company couldn't survive, so I sold my assets, paid my salary, and everyone was dismissed." After speaking, he smiled bitterly and looked at the wine glass in his hand, "I have only one brand left in my hand this year, and I haven't sold it yet." The man listened and drank with Brother Fan, and he suddenly understood why Brother Fan was living so cramped now.

The man gave Brother Fan a glass of wine, and then asked, "Brother Fan, do you think I should help you sell advertisements, anyway, I haven't found a suitable job now." ”

Brother Fan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, as long as you have this heart, you can't do this job." This kind of outdoor advertising depends on relationships, and you don't have network resources, so you can't sell it at all. You're still doing your old job, you didn't go to the TV station to watch? ”

The man sighed and said, "Ahem, I've run all over the TV station, and I've handed over my resume, but I just didn't respond." ”

Brother Fan nodded and said, "Also, it is definitely not easy for these units in Beijing to enter, and it is not possible to have vacancies in a while." By the way, in fact, you have worked in the media, and it may be easier to go to an advertising agency, haven't you considered it? ”

The man looked at Brother Fan, thought for a while and said, "Yes, what can I do if I go to an advertising agency?" I used to work in the TV station's publicity center, and it didn't have much to do with advertising. ”

"Ahem, it's okay, just have this background, you have good English, a lot of 4A only look at English, good English, it's easy to get in."

"What is a 4A?"

"It's an international advertising agency, it's more foreign, and the treatment is good, you should really try it."

After hearing this, the man's eyes lit up, as if he had found a bright avenue, and he hurriedly asked: "Where is this company, I'll ask tomorrow." ”

Brother Fan smiled and said, "Dude, how can you find a job like this, you have to see if people have needs." By the way, now I see that many people are looking for jobs on the Internet, and there are special recruitment websites on the Internet, so you can also go and see, what does it seem to be called recently...... The future is worry-free, you go and try it. ”

The man silently recited the name and memorized it in his heart.

Early the next morning, the man and Jiajia found an Internet café, entered keywords and started searching. Looking at hundreds of job postings, which made Nan Nan and Jiajia excited, they seemed to see hope again. The two of them delivered dozens of cover letters in one go, and they felt a special sense of accomplishment. In the next few days, the man and Jiajia really received some interview calls one after another, and the two of them were busy going to the interview separately, which made the man feel for the first time that the Internet is really a good thing.

The man interviewed several advertising companies and found that they were not large advertising companies, even if they were such a small company, because they first came to Beijing, they had no connections, and they had no experience in advertising, and there were very few people who were notified of the re-examination after the initial interview, which made the man's mood low again. He went to the Internet café again and searched carefully for the job opening. Suddenly, he saw that Brother Fan and DT International, a 4A advertising company he had introduced, suddenly sent out a large number of recruitment information, both low-level and middle-level positions. The man was so happy that he voted for all the possible positions.

After casting, the man went home satisfied. At night, the man slept very well, and it seemed that DT International had handed him an olive branch. But after waking up, the man realized that a week had passed, and there was no response from DT International. At this time, the contradictions of sojourn life gradually became apparent.

When the man and Jiajia first came for the first week, Daqi on the opposite side was polite when they met, and the stunned big man in the same room was also quite enthusiastic. But at the beginning of the second week, Daqi began to show indifference, and the men and men began to ignore the cigarettes when they went up, and the big man in the same room came back at night, without even saying hello, and went to sleep by himself. What's even more dangerous is that Brother Fan's girlfriend An An also showed impatience and said a few cool words intentionally or unintentionally. Jiajia had to try her best to coax An An to be happy, and she had to give her a small gift every other day, even so, the warmth of the small gift would not last more than one night. Jiajia discussed with the man and took the initiative to pay all the water and electricity bills for the past month, more than 300 yuan. Brother Fan was just polite, and did not stop him, and the other people under the same roof balanced their hearts a little, and temporarily put away their ugly faces. But the men knew that such a relaxed atmosphere would not last more than a week, and they had to hurry up and plan the next step in their lives. The two had planned to find a job first and then rent a house, but now it seems that it is no longer feasible, and they must hurry up and rent a house. So in the past few days, they have been looking for a job for half a day and a house for half a day, but they have also lived a fulfilling life.

In order to save agency fees, the man and Jiajia began to think about finding a house by themselves, but found that this was too inefficient. The two of them were not familiar with each other, and they aimlessly looked for a house in one neighborhood after another, but it had no effect at all, and later they had to find an intermediary. They were greeted by a welcoming young man who, after inquiring about their housing needs, showed them several houses that day. The man originally planned to rent a one-bedroom apartment for himself, but when he asked the price, it would be at least more than 1,000 yuan a month, which was too expensive; The basement environment really made the man frown, and he didn't want Jiajia to suffer this with him, so the agent suggested sharing a house.

"Shared house? How many strangers live together? "The man and Jiajia find it difficult to accept.

The young man looked at them like a native hat and said: "In Beijing, sharing a house is a normal thing, it's just to survive. ”

The man thought about it, and there was no better way.

Finally, after looking at more than a dozen houses, they chose a community at the east gate of the Olympic Stadium. The young man of the intermediary enthusiastically introduced: "Although this is an old community, the environment is reasonable. The left door on the 7th floor of Unit 3 is a three-bedroom apartment, the big house is a couple, and the cottage is a female college girl who has just graduated," the young man turned his head and whispered to the man, "The girl in the cottage is also a house I rented, but it is beautiful," After speaking, he continued to introduce seriously, "The remaining middle house is empty, and there is a set of combination cabinets and a bed in the house, as well as a TV," the intermediary guy flipped through the form in his hand, "This house is now seven hundred yuan a month." ”

When Jiajia heard this, she said with a bitter face: "Big brother, it's too expensive, we just arrived in Beijing, and we don't even have a job, it's really too expensive." ”

The intermediary guy looked at Jiajia's bitter melon-like face, looked down at the form again, thought for a while and said, "At least six hundred and fifty yuan, if it is less, you can look at other houses." ”

Jiajia looked at the man, and the man nodded.

Jiajia's eyes rolled, and she said to the intermediary guy with a crying voice: "We won't bargain for six hundred and fifty, but bet one to pay one, we don't have so much money to pay for three, we can't pay it." ”

The intermediary head shook like a drum and said: "It's boring for you to do this, and you have to pay less as soon as the money is reduced, so there is really no way to talk about it." ”

Jiajia glanced at the young man in the intermediary, the bitter gourd on her face was immediately put away, and said to the man coldly: "Forget it, I can't afford it anyway, let's go, don't rent it." After saying that, he picked up the man and prepared to leave.

At this time, the intermediary was a little panicked, called Jiajia and the man, gritted his teeth and said: "Count your fortune, I am responsible for this house, I will rent it to you, if you act as an agent for other people's houses, it is absolutely impossible to have a delay, just like that, bet one and pay two, and it is set." ”

Jiajia thought about it, and it seemed that the conditions had reached the bottom line, so she happily held the intermediary's hand and said, "Then it's decided, let's go, where to sign the contract?" ”

After completing a big event, the two of them felt a little more relaxed, but as soon as they counted the money, the two of them couldn't be happy. In just over a month since they came to Beijing, they have already spent more than 1,600 yuan, and they will be gone after paying rent next Monday, leaving less than 500 yuan in their hands. And at that time, if the two of them no longer have a job, they will soon run out of food.

Back at Brother Fan's house, they told him and An An the news that they had rented a house, and Brother Fan pretended to be angry and said: "Man, this is your mistake, I live here well, why do you want to leave?" ”

The man looked at An An's irrepressible bright smile behind him, and also smiled and said, "Brother Fan, I'm already embarrassed to trouble you for so long, there happens to be a friend who has an empty house, so let's move there first." ”

Brother Fan frowned and said, "It's okay, I don't have a lot of money here, you go first, if it's inconvenient, come back." ”

The man nodded, thinking, if we don't leave, your girlfriend will probably have to find another boyfriend.
