Chapter 120: Breaking Up
After Mu Cheng and his party finished the movie, they dispersed, Mu Cheng bought some beer out of boredom, and sat in the small garden to drink with Liang Kuan. Not long after, the little fat man and Lu Bao also rushed to join in the fun. Mu Cheng told them in detail about the local life section under the forum, and said some specific ideas, and emphasized that it should be set up independently in the future. Liang Kuan interjected from time to time, hoping to arrange something for him, but Mu Cheng still advised him to focus on his current work as Banzhu first and then think about other things after graduation. The two of them were chatting in laughter when suddenly there was a quarrel nearby.
"Let Me Go ......"
"You explain it clearly."
"What do I confess?"
"Divide it, have you thought about my feelings?"
"Have you ever thought about my feelings? You are idle every day, and you don't go out to work, you are a man! "
"Why am I so idle? Isn't that also trying to find something to do? Doesn't it take time? "
"Playing games every day, that's hard work? Who works hard to play games at home every day? "
"I'm releasing the pressure, go, go back with me."
"Let go of ......"
"You have to go with me."
The woman broke free of the man's hand and walked towards the unit building, saying in a firm tone, "Don't follow me anymore, it's impossible for us." ”
The man refused to give up and followed.
The woman looked at him with a disgusted expression: "Xu Dongdong, don't be a scoundrel, don't let me look down on you." ”
After that conversation, the man named Xu Dongdong stopped and stood in place blankly. The woman turned and walked into the unit, catching the attention of Mu Cheng and them, who speculated that she might be a new tenant. Mu Cheng shouted: "Friend, come and drink some wine to relax." However, as if he hadn't heard, Xu Dongdong turned around and prepared to leave. Lu Bao stood up and said to him, "You are Xu Dongdong, right?" There are some things that you can't let go, and a few of our buddies invite you to drink. Maybe Xu Dongdong also wanted to drink some wine at this time, he turned around and sat down where Mu Cheng was drinking, no matter whose cup it was, he grabbed a full cup and poured it into his mouth. After drinking, Lu Bao filled him with another glass, followed by a series of cups. Xu Dongdong sat there, tears streaming down his face, saying to himself that he was useless and that he felt that he was just a wreck. Everyone didn't know how to talk to him, and he continued to drink after crying. Lu Bao also lost interest in him and began to clink glasses with Mu Cheng and them.
Mu Cheng was particularly curious about Xu Dongdong's story, so he flipped through Xu Dongdong's memory fragments and explored Xu Dongdong's past. He learned that the object of the quarrel with Xu Dongdong was Chen Shuqi. It turned out that Chen Shuqi was Xu Dongdong's college classmate, and the two started a relationship during college and lived together after graduation. Xu Dongdong is relatively introverted, feeling helpless in finding a job and unable to cope with the hard work. Since their parents have been providing financial support for living expenses, they are not in a hurry to find a job. When they first graduated, they were idle for half a year, and later Xu Dongdong's classmates recommended him to do some typesetting work in a small workshop. Chen Shuqi, on the other hand, has advantages in height, weight and age, so she submitted an application to the airline. After an initial screening, she passed an individual interview, a group interview, a mock cabin service, as well as a background check and medical examination, and finally qualified for training. At that time, the two were full of hope and joy for the future, and they saw a bright future.
After several months of training and related exams, Chen Shuqi successfully obtained her flight attendant qualification and was assigned to a flight to start her career, and began to have a stable source of income. At the same time, Xu Dongdong has been engaged in repetitive work for the past few months and feels bored. In addition, Chen Shuqi's income is in stark contrast to his, which makes him feel a strong sense of inferiority. Men always have a strong sense of competition, and there is no harm if there is no contrast. He began to think about his future, realized that there was not much prospect of doing typesetting work, and he aspired to be his own boss. So he went around the market and found that it might be more profitable to open a women's clothing store. He kept calling home, managed to secure a sum of money, quit his typesetting job, and prepared to take over a shop and run women's clothing. However, after two days of turning around the market, he found that no clothing store was willing to transfer it to him. By accident, he noticed a small restaurant, and he decided to take over the restaurant without continuing his investigation. However, it was only when he took over that he discovered a series of problems. This restaurant is located in a business district, and it only has traffic in the morning and noon, and almost no one comes to visit it in the evening. He wanted to provide breakfast, but he couldn't achieve this goal because he didn't get up early and could only serve lunch once. The most critical problem was that the restaurant was located on the first floor of a high-rise building, but there was no flue, and if he installed the flue, he would have invested more than he had to rent a storefront. In the end, he could only choose to sell dumplings and other similar meals, and faced a series of difficulties and challenges.
Chen Shuqi's career is becoming more and more stable, while Xu Dongdong's business is in trouble. Although there is no loss, there is no profit, which is equivalent to working for nothing. He felt very anxious. He realized that his decision to run the restaurant might not have been wise. Every morning he had to go to the market to shop, which reminded him of the idea of opening a women's clothing store in the first place. He thought, women's clothing stores don't need to go to stock every day, right? You can also ask the salesperson to look at the store, so you can have some time to rest. So, he decided to get money from his family again to convert the restaurant directly into a women's clothing store. However, he had no experience in running a women's clothing store and did not have his own supply channels, so he could only wholesale in the market and then retail in the store. He also had no experience with pricing, thinking that he could sell more with less profit and more at a higher price. He relied on his so-called theory of small profits and quick turnover, and it turned out that the clothing store was doing worse than the restaurant, and the restaurant at least did not lose money, and the clothing store quickly ran out of money. When he closed the shop, he didn't dare to tell his family because he had lost his financial resources and could only spend Chen Shuqi's money.
At first, Chen Shuqi also encouraged him, but recently, Chen Shuqi has been complaining more and more, and the usual communication has become scarce, and every time she goes home, she is full of uncomfortable words, and the two have begun to quarrel frequently because of some trivial things. Xu Dongdong clearly felt Chen Shuqi's dissatisfaction with him, and even he himself began to feel disappointed in himself. Whenever he immersed himself in the game, it was as if he could escape these questions for a while. However, recently, he has become more and more aware that Chen Shuqi's temper is getting bigger and bigger, and he is ready to break up with Chen Shuqi in his heart, but he has not yet decided when to talk to her. However, today Chen Shuqi took the initiative to break up, which aroused the self-esteem of a little man like Xu Dongdong and triggered the scene seen by Mu Cheng and others.
