thirty-two

The roommates are still chatting, but compared to the topic of the first few days of vacation, the topic of these days has gradually jumped to the Internet company, maybe because they will start work the day after tomorrow, right? As for the Internet company, it is very obvious that countless people yearn for the company and even the job, and countless people imagine the beauty here, imagine playing games comfortably, and fantasize about the taste of money.

However, looking at the cigarette butts everywhere on the ground, the liquor bottles everywhere, and even this group of degenerate people who have not washed their faces and brushed their teeth for more than ten days, listening to this group of degenerate people, they are telling about suffering and despair, and they are praying for a beautiful tomorrow. I can't help but think about how to get lucky in the game, so I start complaining and complaining, this is the daily life of the employees of the network company, if those people who stand outside the network company, fantasize about the people here, they see this scene at this moment, I don't know what kind of feelings they will have?

It's just that, no matter how people outside the Internet company will feel when they see this, in short, the madman is just quietly recording, recording all the things that are happening in this corner of the vast world, and even yesterday and now.

After the madman finished recording, he found that all the roommates, even if they were complaining about the Internet company, even if they were complaining, they would be sleepy and tired, so they had already fallen asleep, leaving only the messy cigarette butts on the ground, as well as the crooked wine bottles, and of course, a few washbasins, which had not been moved for more than ten days, and the towels that had been frozen at this time seemed to tell the confusing story here.

The madman smoked a cigarette in silence, looking at everything in front of him, listening to the cold wind outside, and even the sound of the ticking rain. That's right, the outside world is no longer a drizzle and hazy smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, but a world like a downpour and a cold wind howling.

At this point, the madman sighed, but he didn't know what he was feeling, was it the cold wind outside, or the rain that fell from the sky? Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, in short, he took out his mobile phone again and looked at the text message, because in addition to receiving a text message from a mobile company, he also received a favorite text message, and the content of the text message was very simple: no money, no home, today to work.

Yes, it's just a short dozen words, but these short dozen words seem to have some kind of strange magic, so that the madman doesn't know how long he has been happy, how long he has lost his soul, and even how long he has been thinking about it, yes, Yuhan doesn't know anything about these.

So the madman re-lit a cigarette, smoked stupidly, and finally ran out of smoke, looked at the time on the phone, 12:18 noon, and then plugged the phone on the direct charge, listened to the cold wind whistling outside, listened to the sound of the ticking raindrops, entered the fantasy, the moment he and Yuhan met, or fantasized that he himself stood at the pinnacle of what people called success, and went back to recapture Yuhan from that handsome guy?

No! In fact, fantasy is just fantasy, and it can only happen in the fantasy world, although the first step to make your dream come true is to dream first, but the madman understands that the dream he is making is too outrageous, maybe it is precisely because of the madman's lack of confidence that he lost Yuhan, right? But it doesn't seem to be quite right, when did he ever have Yuhan again? If you don't have it, how can you lose it?

Fall asleep, right? Sleep, sleep, go to the Internet café at night, and only go to work the day after tomorrow.

……

The madman went to the Internet café together at night, but tonight they all seemed to be silent, compared to before, this Internet café no longer seemed to be a happy place, and even in the entire Internet café that is currently full, everyone's expressions look very depressed.

The roommates of the madman understand that the day after tomorrow is the beginning of purgatory, although they are already exhausted, and even think of suicide, but there is no way, they have to endure the injury and pain, even if it is to go up the knife mountain and get off the oil pot, they have to take their own steps, because even if they take a step back, even if they take the time to cry because of pain for half an hour, they will lag behind others, our world, the competition is too cruel, and everyone seems to have no time to even cry happily.

And these people who look extremely depressed in the Internet café, some of them are still carrying luggage, the madman did not ask them why they are depressed, because he seems to understand something, in fact, these people are basically asking the boss for leave a year ago, and the boss does not agree, so they can only leave in a fit of anger, every year after the Spring Festival, big cities, especially industrial areas, there are many such people.

In order to spend a Spring Festival with their families, they did not listen to the boss's arrangement, and because they did not cooperate with their work, some were directly fired. Of course, they may also lose more than half a month's salary, obviously, the boss likes them to leave themselves, such as the fourth year of junior high school, all the people who did not arrive at the company are considered to be self-leaving, self-departure? This is very serious, at least half a month's salary the boss will not give them.

So? Is this the fault of the Chinese New Year? The madman thinks that it must be the fault of the Spring Festival, how can it be the fault of the bosses of various companies? The boss not only fired many employees in this way, but also did not have to pay them the salary of up to half a month, but the boss made money, and returned to his own home for the Spring Festival, which not only passed the Spring Festival, but also made money The boss, how can it be wrong? After all, in our world, as long as you can make money, things and practices must be right, and only the right people can do this kind of right thing.

However, the madman sees the depressed crowd in the Internet café with their luggage, and they don't even turn on their computers to surf the Internet, so they can save money, because they have just come to the big city from home, how can they have a lot of money on them? In other words, they don't necessarily have a lot of money on them when they work, they are not crazy, they need to pay for their families, almost all of their monthly salaries.

Thinking of this, the madman immediately took out another cigarette and lit it, and then said to Lili on the side: "Do you want to eat hot pot?" ”

Lili hurriedly took off her headphones, originally the madman thought she was watching a soap opera, and she was even more fascinated, so she thought that she might not have heard clearly, and was about to say it a second time, only to see Lili's eyes full of beautiful light: "Okay! ”

The madman took a puff of his cigarette, smiled as if at a loss, and then said, "You have good ears." ”

She was also full of smiles, but she was not as overwhelmed as a madman, and she actually smiled at the corners of her mouth. It's the first time for a madman to see Lili's smiling face, does it look cute?

It's just that the madman didn't say what he felt at the moment, but just told Lili that she would get up tomorrow afternoon and go to the hot pot restaurant to eat together, and she nodded happily and agreed.

In fact, this night, in the second half of the night, the madman and his roommates went online to red alert, and the roommates were very persistent, saying that they had to beat the madman until he fell to the ground, and beat him until he didn't dare to brag in the future, but the fact was that four or five of them were killed by the madman alone without a super weapon.

But of course these are not important, because the game is just a game, and the madman only cares about happiness at the moment? No! This happiness seems to have tasted, and even the whole world seems to be overshadowed by despair and exhaustion.

Yes, the madman understands, and even he understands that within a few days after going to work, he will definitely see a large number of new employees, and this large number of new employees, all of whom are still radiant, talk about the future in which they want to make a big splash in the Internet company, and even proudly announce that their future salary is on par with 10,000 yuan a month, because they all blindly believe that their luck in the game will be incomparably better.

It's like a heartbreaking and boring cycle for a madman, because it's clear that almost all of these radiant new employees are going to end up being the roommates around him, because there's no reason, because that's the truth, that's our world, that's what cruelty is called.

The madman thinks maybe he shouldn't think about that, right? How heartbreaking? So he continued to happily play Red Alert with his roommates, but Lili didn't participate this time, and Lili still watched her soap opera, still very engrossed.

……

In the afternoon, almost all the roommates in the madman's dormitory got up, but there was a dead silence again, except for the occasional conversation: Do you still have cigarettes? Get me a payout? I don't have it, you go find a madman.

In fact, this kind of conversation should appear at the end of each month, or in the middle of each month, but now it appears at the moment just after the Spring Festival, so the madman thinks that this is a special exceptional event, so it must be recorded in a notebook.

Then the madman told the roommates that they would go out to eat together, but the roommate said, "I don't have any money, I won't go, I'll go to the company tomorrow to eat something," but the madman told them, "I'm going to have a treat and go to eat hot pot together." ”

The roommates are almost all star-eyed, as if they can't say anything, and they don't suspect that the madman is lying, because the madman will only lie under certain conditions, and now it is not under certain conditions, so the madman is not lying.

Everyone was very happy to dress together, and then prepared to go out, the madman also called Lili, as for Lili, it was different, she had to brush her teeth and wash her face, and even use hot water, which was the same as their group of boys, as if they were not human beings living in the same world.

In short, the madman went to the street with everyone first, and then he himself withdrew a thousand yuan from the ATM, and at this time, a roommate asked the madman, "How much did you spend on the New Year?" ”

The madman didn't even think about it: "I took a thousand dollars a year ago and spent it." ”

The roommates seem to want to gasp, but maybe it's because the cold wind is still raging at the moment, so they don't dare to inhale, for fear of freezing their respiratory system, right? So can only grin very awkwardly.
