Chapter 36: Driven Out
On the night of the 1st, I dragged my tired body back from the Internet café to the rented room.
At the door of the rental house, I don't know who put a gift box there, I thought it was a neighbor who threw away the garbage.
I couldn't help but whisper: Who is so unmeritorious, littering!
I'm going to have to take it downstairs to the trash pool tomorrow and throw it away.
I didn't think much about it, I took out the key to open the door, but the key turned in the lock for a long time, and it couldn't open the door.
Did you go to the wrong door? I looked at the house number, and then looked at the neighbors, and I didn't make a mistake.
Then I looked closely and found that the lock on the door had been changed unconsciously!
I'm a little confused, what's going on? Have you been robbed?
No, if it's a thief, the other party breaks in, and there's no need to put a good lock on it, right?
So the person who changed the lock, since it's not me, that's the landlord?
Thinking of this, I suddenly noticed that the suitcase next to the door was a little familiar.
If you look closely, isn't that my suitcase?
Now I finally know what's going on!
The bad old man of the landlord pretended to promise me to delay the payment of rent for a few days, and then when I went to work, he secretly threw my luggage out the door and changed the lock!
What is this called?
I immediately called the landlord and questioned him.
"Landlord, why did you throw my stuff outside? And change the locks? ”
"Don't think I don't know, you waste haven't had a job for a few years, and without your wife, what will you pay for rent?"
I was angry and said, "I have a job now, I can afford to pay the rent!" ”
"Do you think I'll believe you?"
"Then if you don't want to rent it to me, you can tell me clearly, now I just came back from work in the middle of the night, where do you tell me to live?"
"That's none of my business, get out!"
After the landlord finished speaking, the phone hung up.
Damn, this old man is sick!
I cursed angrily in the hallway, and felt that it was not enough to relieve my anger, so I slammed my fist on the door again.
"Bang!" There was a loud bang.
The door is fine, my hands hurt terribly.
I sat in the corridor for a while, and it was already very cold in the middle of the night in late autumn, so I had no choice but to pick up my suitcase and leave.
It's twelve o'clock in the morning, and I can't find a rental house at night.
On the way downstairs, I wondered where I was going to deal with it tonight.
Not with my mother, who always goes to bed early, and I don't want to bother her at this time.
And in the middle of the night, if she knew that I was swept away by the landlord, she would probably be worried.
I dragged my suitcase for a few hundred meters, and my arm was very sore, and my body was not good, but now I am cold and hungry, and I feel that I can't walk.
At this time, I happened to find a small dilapidated hotel on the side of the street, and I walked straight into it without hesitation.
The front desk was an uncle, who asked with a smile: "Young man, what room do you live in?" ”
I cautiously asked, "How much does it cost you to stay here for a night?" ”
Living in this neighborhood, I have actually heard that the sanitary conditions of the small hotel here are very bad.
But this is also normal, you get what you pay for, at least the price will not be very high.
The uncle didn't answer me directly about the price, but pulled me in very enthusiastically, saying, "It's cold outside, let's take a look at the room first, and it's not too late to decide if you can't live after seeing the room." ”
I couldn't stand his enthusiasm, so I had to pick up my suitcase and follow the uncle, and go up to see the room first.
The room was on the fourth floor, the shabby little hostel had no elevator, and I was almost exhausted when I struggled to carry my suitcase up the fourth floor.
Then the uncle showed me the room.
The room was very small, barely big enough for a bed, and there was barely room for your feet.
And it's dark and damp, and it doesn't look like a place to live at all.
But if it's cheap enough, I don't really mind spending the night here and looking for a house tomorrow.
"How much does this room cost for a night?" I asked the uncle again.
"80 pieces." Uncle smiled.
Such a broken room costs 80 a night? This is to slaughter me like a fat sheep.
"This kind of room costs 80? Expensive, right? I frowned.
"The hotels in the neighborhood are all at this price." Uncle was still smiling, as if he had eaten me.
"But when I was at the front desk just now, I saw that you clearly wrote 30 yuan a night on the wall." I'm not giving up yet.
"That kind of room is already full, and now it's only 80 yuan." There was a hint of pride in the uncle's smile.
Now I still don't understand where this is being pitted!
When I was downstairs just now, I asked him the price, and he deliberately didn't say it.
It sounds fair to say that you can look at the room first and then decide.
But after I carried my suitcase upstairs, I was told that there were no more low-priced rooms, only high-priced rooms.
At this time, the customer finally took the luggage upstairs, and the troublesome ones generally did not take it down again, so they endured it and stayed.
But I can't swallow it!
"Is there really no room for 30 yuan?" I asked again.
"Nope."
"Okay." I lifted my suitcase and went downstairs without looking back.
"Hey, hey, young man, why don't I give it to you cheaper, fifty, do you think it's okay? Forty! Forty! Couldn't be cheaper! ”
The uncle's voice came from behind me, and I ignored it.
Want to trick me? I don't want to live with you! I'd rather sleep on the street than live with you!
It took all my strength to move my suitcase downstairs and leave the black-hearted little hotel.
A room like this, seriously, 20 yuan a night is too expensive.
I didn't have much money in the first place, and the savings of more than 1,000 yuan on my body were all saved by my hard work.
How could it be possible to spend forty or fifty dollars to live in such a place that pits people?
Walking out of the small hotel, I happened to see the Internet café I frequented not far ahead.
I had an idea and went to the Internet café to charter a private room, and the overnight Internet fee was much cheaper than during the day.
So I dragged my suitcase into the Internet café, and the Internet manager of the Internet café saw me dragging my luggage, which was not surprising.
Maybe there are a lot of people like me in Yunchuan and they can't afford to stay in a hotel, so they go to an Internet café to deal with it for a night.
Network management is also commonplace.
It was only 20 yuan for a night's sleep, which was much cleaner than that small hotel.
The next morning, I dragged my suitcase to work.
No way, before leaving, I asked the network manager of the Internet café if he could help me keep my luggage, but the other party was unwilling, so I had to give up.
Fortunately, I came early, and there was no one when I came to the company.
I put my suitcase next to my workstation and turned on my computer to get ready to start the day.
After a while, people began to go to work.
But everyone was busy, and no one noticed my suitcase.
It wasn't until Hu Wang, the deputy manager of the design department, saw it when he walked past my workstation.
Hu Wang lowered his voice and asked me, "Brother Yang, this suitcase is yours?" ”
I nodded.
The position of the design manager of Zhiyu Games is vacant, and Hu Wang, the deputy manager, is the biggest official in the design department.
However, he is not very old, two years younger than me, so he has always called me Brother Yang.
Hu Wang said: "Be careful not to be seen by Zhang Dongyang, otherwise he will deduct your money on the pretext that the workstation is not neatly placed." ”
"That grandson doesn't know why lately, but he always runs to our design department."
"I see, I'll take notice." I smiled at Hu Wang.
Why Zhang Dongyang targeted me, I know very well in my heart.
From the first day I came to Jiwoo, he looked down on me and targeted me.
Later, he was slapped in public by Wang Ping.
He's just a personnel manager, and he can't take revenge on Wang Ping, so he wants to take his anger out on me, right?
Fortunately, I am usually conscientious and did not let him catch any tricks.
I really had no choice but to take this suitcase to work today, hoping he didn't see it.
It was almost noon when Wang Ping called me to her director's office.
"Yang Hai, you've been in Zhiyu for a week, are you still used to it this week?" Wang Ping asked.
"It's not bad, I like it here." I replied.
This is what I mean from the heart.
Compared to the time when I was in Tengfei Games, Zhiyu is simply very good, and I get along very well with my colleagues in Zhiyu's design department.
Except for that Zhang Dongyang.
Of course, I can't say this kind of thing to Wang Ping.
"Did you have any problems at work?" Wang Ping asked again.
"No, it's all going well." I replied modestly.
