Chapter 1: A Sad Resignation
2025, Shanghai, China, an ordinary media company, AM: 10:00
"Linxi, you have worked a total of fifteen days this month, deducting bonuses and full attendance, a total of 1,200 yuan, giving you an extra 50. After all, a colleague, don't be so shabby, take a taxi back. In the room, a bewitching woman with a black rimless mirror on her face said disdainfully.
Lin Xi was not in the mood to look at this woman's face, took a thin stack of money, took out the 50 of them, put it on the table, turned around and said, "This 50 yuan, the uncle rewarded you." Remember to buy more safety measures when you have a fight with that old bastard in the future, otherwise you will be dumped like a rag by others, and you will drag down the child. ”
When Lin Xi stepped out of the room, listening to the abuse of the woman behind her, she took a sip, but she couldn't help but feel a little bitter in her heart.
I've been working for this advertising agency since graduating from university. Originally, Lin Xi was quite nimble, and his work was serious. But since this woman came, everything has changed, all the jobs that were originally given to her have been given to her, and her salary has also deteriorated. I couldn't bear it today, and I wanted to go to the supervisor to theorize, but I didn't expect that this old bastard would be doing things with this woman in the middle of the day. If Linxi had calmed down and knocked on the door first, he might have given the dog man and woman time to buffer. But............
"Hey............" Lin Xi sighed and walked out of the company's door.
Outside, the world is full of traffic, and the cars on the good ones are running one after another on the spacious road.
Holding the money in his pocket and watching the pedestrians coming and going, Lynsey chose to walk back. Now that the job is gone, and it's time to pay the rent again, I can only save these few dollars of bus money.
By the time I got home, it was already sunset.
Stepping on the staircase with exposed steel bars, Lynsey's footsteps suddenly stopped. A middle-aged woman about fifty years old, standing at the door of the house with a face full of flesh, with her waist crossed and her waist crossed, coupled with her sturdy body, and her beard is Zhang Fei.
But Lin Xi was a little trembling, but she didn't expect this old lady to run to the door of the house. Suddenly, the melancholy expression on his face was replaced by a thick flattery.
"Auntie, why are you here? He didn't call me either, so he went home and sat down. With that, Lin Xiqiang squeezed his body and wanted to sneak into the house first.
But I didn't expect this old lady to turn her body sideways and scolded Lin Xi angrily: "Good bastard! Five days ago is the day of rent payment! You have repeatedly shirked, auntie, I see that it is not easy for you to come out alone, so I will give you a few days of relief. You kid actually evaporated from the world for me, and I didn't answer the phone! If I hadn't come over today! I really can't catch you! Don't talk nonsense! Hurry up and hand over the money! Otherwise, get out of here! ”
When Lin Xi saw this situation, he also knew that if he didn't pay the money today, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape. But with only 1,200 yuan in his pocket, plus all the savings, it is only enough to pay three months' rent, but he has no money to eat.
After thinking about it for a while, Lin Xi was bold and asked a little timidly: "Auntie, can I pay it for a month first." ”
"No! Not even one less! ”
After being so stubborn for a long time, Lynsey finally maintained the rent for two months.
A person sat on the sofa, looked at the room with only about 20 square meters, and scolded: "Broken place, it's really expensive." Such a place costs 1200 a month. In our county, no one wants 400 yuan. ”
Just as he was thinking about it, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
Got up to open the door, and a courier stood outside, looking at Lin Xi with a deep smile at first, and then said, "Hello sir." This is your package, please check it. ”
Parcel? I can't remember what I bought recently. I looked at the square box wrapped in a plastic mail bag, and the address and the recipient's name were clearly written on it.
602? That should be the opposite side. My building is not marked with several door numbers, and the arrangement of house numbers is different from ordinary buildings, so I don't blame the courier for making mistakes.
"Oh, it's not mine, it's the other side of the street."
The courier was stunned for a moment, looked at the door suspiciously, and didn't find anything, but since Lin Xi said so, he smiled apologetically, turned around and walked towards the opposite door.
Not long after Lin Xi closed the door, he heard the sound of the door again, and the courier was still outside the door.
"Hello sir. Sorry to bother you again. There's no one on the other side, so could you please take it first and give it to them when they come back. ”
It stands to reason that the courier cannot be handed over to others casually, but for Lin Xi, it is just a matter of effort. If you can, you can help.
In the courier's thanks, Lin Xi closed the door again, and placed the somewhat heavy box casually in the corner.
Looking at the dark sky outside, I nestled on the sofa, I wanted to watch TV for a while, but I didn't expect to fall asleep.
It was close to ten o'clock that Lin Xi woke up leisurely. Not to wake up naturally, but to be woken up by the sound of an argument outside.
Looking down the cat's eye, the door of the opposite house was wide open! The voices of a man and a woman were unusually loud outside the door, and a series of national scoldings were not the same.
Although I didn't have too much contact before, I also knew that there was a pair of young women living opposite the road, and it was inconvenient for Lin Xi to inquire about the specific identity. But for now, Lin Xi still opened the door with a courier in his hand.
"Get out! Roll as far away as possible for the old lady! I spend money to feed you every day! You're out of the woods to find another woman! Get lost! I never want to see you again! ”
As the woman's angry voice rang out, a shirtless man with tattoos walked out of the room, holding a cigarette roll in his mouth and his expression a little fierce.
Seeing Lin Xi come out, the tattooed man squinted at it and said angrily, "What's the matter?" I want to come out and persuade or take the opportunity to comfort this little sassy hoof. Boy, get out of here. This little sassy hooves is not something your little body can deal with. ”
Lin Xi just glanced at the man, and before he could speak, a woman dressed in silk sleepiness walked out of the room, threw a pillow at the man, and scolded: "Get out!" ”
"Ha Lu Ha! You little hooves, I've had enough of it. I'm out of here, you can call me later when you need comfort. I'm afraid this little guy won't be able to satisfy you. Ha Lu Ha! ”
Listening to the man's footsteps as he walked away, the woman cried out and squatted on the ground, her body shaking.
It's just that from Lin Xi's point of view, he can see the snow-white color on the woman's chest, and he hurriedly coughed, and was about to go back to the room first, and then wrap this package to her when he turned around.
But she didn't want to, the woman actually stopped crying, stood up suddenly, and said to Linxi, "What's the matter?" ”
Lin Xi scratched his head a little embarrassed, this was the first time he had seen this woman's appearance so closely, although her face was painted and she was crying with tears, but it was not ugly. Especially the figure, it is definitely called a devil, concave and convex, especially the chest, which is completely convex, and the pajamas can't wrap it, revealing a large area of snow white. It's not much better than the woman in the company.
"Oh, this is the package delivered today, and there is no one at home in the afternoon, so it will be placed here with me."
When Lin Xi handed the package to the woman, he was just about to leave the place of right and wrong, but was stopped by the woman again.
"What's wrong? What else? ”
The woman looked at the package in her hand and took two steps forward, closer to Linxi, and a faint smell of perfume entered Linxi's nostrils along the air.
"You don't play games." The woman asked suddenly.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, but still replied truthfully: "Sometimes I play." ”
"Alright, this thing has been sold to you." The woman put the package in her hand into Lin Xi's arms and said lightly.
Lin Xi was completely stunned, and secretly said in his heart: "This woman can't be crazy." Sell me anything, whether I want it or not! ”
Seeing that Lin Xi was a little stunned, the woman suddenly smiled, and then said, "Don't worry, I won't let you suffer." This is the game helmet of the latest large-scale online game "Cutting the Sky", I lined up for two days and spent thousands of dollars to get it. This was originally bought for that bastard, but I didn't expect him to do such a cheap thing. It's useless to keep this thing in my hands, so I might as well sell it to you. I won't let you buy it at the original price, you just give me a thousand dollars. ”
This time, Lin Xi was not stunned, but surprised. The game "Slashing the Sky" has been promoted as early as half a year ago, and it is a global promotion. I heard that it is also an epoch-making breakthrough in the history of the game, using holographic helmet embedding, 100% realism. A few days ago, gaming helmets were distributed and there was a craze in many places, and they were sold out in just a few days. Even in some forums on the Internet, posts about buying helmets abound.
How lucky are you? And it only costs a thousand. Where to find such a good thing! But where did I get the money? A thousand dollars, almost all of my savings.
Lin Xi frowned in embarrassment, this woman still thought that Lin Xi didn't want it, snatched it from his hand, and snorted, "Don't forget it." I'll sell it to someone else. When I arrived, there were a lot of people who wanted to order my helmet. It's so cheap for you, and you don't even want it. Don't forget it. ”
"No, no, no! It's me ............" Lin Xi hurriedly explained, then took a deep breath before continuing: "It's because I don't have enough money, can I give you five hundred first, and I will give you the rest as soon as possible." ”
The woman showed a look of understanding on her face, not at all like she had just fallen out of love, raised her eyebrows and smiled, and said, "Okay." Then I will be your creditor from now on. ”
