July in Jiangcheng, like all cities on the banks of the Yangtze River, is characterized by scorching heat and drought, and all the people in the city are kept in a steamer.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun had already begun to scorch the earth. Although it was past work time at this time, Zhuang Yichen continued to sleep with his head covered without care. This is naturally not because he has been dragged to the point where he can skip work casually, but because he just lost his job yesterday.

"Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~"

Just then, the doorbell rang suddenly. Zhuang Yichen turned over and continued to sleep.

"Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~ Jingle Bell ~"

The doorbell continued to ring stubbornly, not slowly, with a feeling of not giving up.

Zhuang Yichen kicked off the quilt vigorously, grabbed a pair of big shorts from his side and put them on, then put on a wide T-shirt with his gloves, and yawned and got out of bed.

Opening the door, there was his former boss, the idiot female supervisor, standing outside the door. Before Zhuang Yichen could speak, her eyes crossed Zhuang Yichen and glanced coldly at the living room, and then said first: "It seems that you are doing well, you are still staying at home at this point, and you will not go out to find a new job." I just don't know how much money you have to support you to continue to be so willful. ”

Her tone of voice was as mean and arrogant as ever, and listening to her words, some unpleasant memories of the past instantly poured into Zhuang Yichen's mind.

"What are you doing here?" He clenched his fists tightly and said coldly.

"It's nothing, it's just to clean up the accounts of the company's bachelor apartment, and by the way, clean up the parasites that only eat and wait to die, digging into the corners of the company." She skimmed Zhuang Yichen out of the corner of her eye, and said to him with a sneering smile on her lips.

"Ling Yumeng, you are also an old woman in menopause, so don't look at those Mary Sue things. We're not filming a workplace idol drama, are you talking about people? Zhuang Yichen couldn't help but laugh angrily.

She looked at Ling Yumeng's delicate face, at the age of thirty-two, she was the most mature and beautiful age, wearing a professional suit, and her whole body exuded the temptation of a mature woman. But now, Zhuang Yichen felt a little disgusting for no reason.

"Hehe, it's because you'll never reach that level, that's why you're so jealous? I don't want to talk nonsense with you either, there is a new person in the company to take your place. According to the company's regulations, non-employees are not allowed to rent the company's bachelor apartment, which simply means that you should pack up and get out. She folded her arms and changed into a comfortable position to continue.

Zhuang Yichen's anger was instantly ignited, "Why? According to the original rental contract, my rent is still half a year away! What, do you want to break the contract? ”

At the same time, a trace of sadness flashed in his heart. Hehe, I really didn't expect to be swept away so soon.

"Breach of contract? Joke! From the moment you leave the company, all contracts signed by the company and you are no longer valid. But don't worry, little sling. The company will refund you the rest of your rent. She said with a smug face, as if she was the chairman of the company.

Zhuang Yichen looked at her indifference with self-expansion to the extreme, and the anger in her heart inexplicably dissipated half, replaced by a touch of deep sadness.

The more people who struggle at the bottom of society, the more they like to inflict their suffering on others. Ling Yumeng is a top student in the Chinese Department of Z University, holding a master's degree. But he worked in the company's most inconspicuous small department for a whole decade before he became a department head.

In this department, except for Zhuang Yichen, there are several other people under the age of forty. It's a place where there's no future in sight. On weekdays, even several other department heads were calling at her, not to mention the boss who had been trying to get her to bed.

A woman whose heart is higher than the sky but whose life is thinner than paper, has accumulated resentment in such an environment for ten years, and naturally vented it to Zhuang Yichen, a newcomer who has just worked. Thinking of this, Zhuang Yichen suddenly felt a little tired. He didn't want to quarrel with this poor woman anymore, even if he was just as pitiful in her eyes.

He pursed the corners of his mouth and smiled, and the smile could not be said to be helpless or mocking. "When to move out."

Ling Yumeng was surprised by Zhuang Yichen's sudden calmness, she paused, and then said, "Three days later." ”

"Will it be okay in a month?"

"You bargain with me less, I'll tell you ......"

"Just one month, I don't want the rest of the rent!" Zhuang Yichen directly interrupted her words.

Ling Yumeng was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Okay, then let you rely on it for another month." To be honest, I'd love to see if you'll be able to keep the same sharpness that you threw at me in the first place after a month of hitting a wall. ”

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Zhuang Yichen coldly, stepped on six-centimeter high heels and turned to leave. The swaying waist drove the straight buttocks tightly wrapped by the tight-fitting skirt to sway from side to side, and the back was full of spirit, like a victorious general.

"Bang!" Looking at her departing back, Zhuang Yichen slammed the door slammed slammed on. Then he collapsed on the sofa in the living room.

After such a toss, Zhuang Yichen was also sleepy. It's really cool now, not to mention the loss of work, and I will be swept out of the house soon. Although this job is like a piece of, without it, you can only look for the next piece of like a dog.

He sighed faintly, and the fragments of his past flooded into his heart.

Zhuang Yichen was an orphan whose parents died in a car accident when he was seven years old. Of course, not all stories are so heartwarming.

After the death of his parents, relatives and friends immediately began to divide up the family's inheritance, pushing him around like a superfluous burden, and finally after some discussion, they stuffed a sum of money into the dean and threw him into the welfare home. How ridiculous and ridiculous.

Since he was a child, he has tasted the heat and coldness of the world, so he has a maturity and stability that far surpasses his peers, and naturally develops his silent and withdrawn personality. When I got to college, I had an inexplicable relationship, and when I was separated, I was inexplicable. There are no unforgettable memories, and there is no heart-rending pain.

After graduating from college, he followed thousands of troops to participate in the school's job fair, but fortunately, after years of hard life, he learned not to pick and kick, and successfully became a lowest-level white-collar worker in a company.

Thinking back to the first half of his life, in the 23 years he has walked, the most outrageous thing he has done is to throw off the idiot female supervisor with a document when he can't bear it.

In short, his life was as lackluster as his name, but a tiny speck of dust in a thousand worlds, as humble as all living beings.
