Every time I come to Yanjing, apart from the various extra buildings, I always feel that a certain intersection is different from before. Another feeling is that there are too many people.
In fact, Yanjing is expanding externally every year, or the area of residential buildings in Yanjing is increasing rapidly every year, but the tall buildings rising from the ground seem to never be able to accommodate the crowds that continue to pour into Yanjing, so that Many people can only crowd on the street.
Therefore, the residences of many foreign residents, which were formerly remote residences, are now beginning to flow into basements, and people have even begun to sleep in some public places and even on the streets.
And this type of people does not refer to those who are unemployed or mentally disturbed. Rather, it refers to those who have jobs but whose wages cannot meet their daily expenses, so they can only choose to live homeless instead of renting to save their own expenses.
So when I saw those media interviews some years later, they were obviously very glamorous. Celebrities who talk about how difficult it was for them when they were drifting to Beijing should not jump to conclusions and say that they are selling their misery to gain sympathy.
Only those lucky people who are born at the finish line can really make it out of international metropolises like Yanjing and Shanghai. Others have put in unimaginable hardships and efforts.
Therefore, Yang Dongxu will never underestimate those people who are called "mud-legged people" who come up step by step from the grassroots level. Under the same conditions, the losers are often those who look down on mud-legged people.
So when Hainer signed contracts with artists, there was a reason why the contracts were so generous. Because most of these 'mud-legged' people are more grateful than those who are born to be at the end.
For those who are born at the end, if they don't do this well, they will have to change jobs. Anyway, their lives are still so easy and comfortable.
But for people who have come up from the grassroots step by step, an opportunity and a casual help from a noble person may change their lives.
Only those who have experienced difficulties will feel that happiness is so sweet. Therefore, they will cherish their current happiness more and be grateful to those who gave them the opportunity to enjoy happiness.
So Yang Dongxu's favorite thing is to throw people with status and background into the public relations department. Maybe these people are also super capable. But there is always a gap in the interests and hobbies of challenging other people's jobs.
...
Li Li still lives in the apartment building that Yang Dongxu prepared for her before. In fact, after her depression eased for a while, Li Li moved out of this apartment and even bought a house in Yanjing.
It seems that I want to use this method to get rid of this status similar to that of 'support', although doing so is a bit self-deceiving. Because even if she no longer spends Yang Dongxu's money, Yang Dongxu helped keep her money. And the money earned in the past few years was also made by Yang Dongxu’s advice.
But I don’t know when Li Li seemed to have figured it out and stopped deceiving herself about this identity. I started using the credit card given by Yang Dongxu and moved back to this apartment.
But the place where she met her parents was not in this apartment, but in the house she bought. It seems that I want to use this method to clarify some things.
For example, she can decide how to give her parents her own things, but the things Yang Dongxu gives her can only be her own, and her parents must not get involved.
Obviously this is a choice caused by extreme insecurity. Li Li, whose depression has improved a lot, is still living in extreme uneasiness, and Yang Dongxu seems to have become the only safe haven for her. Therefore, my parents are absolutely not allowed to enter this safe haven.
This can be said to be a kind of growth for Li Li, but this growth is undoubtedly sad. Li Li can't let go of her family ties, but she has a kind of defense against them.
"It's just this much money. If you like it, you can live here. If you don't like it, it doesn't matter if you continue to travel around with the money. In short, it's just this much money. I won't even starve you to death before I get the money next month." Give me a penny."
In the room, Li Li was sitting on the sofa, opposite her parents. There was 20,000 yuan on the table, which was the living expenses he gave his parents this month.
In 2004, 20,000 yuan was just for living expenses. It didn't even include the money my parents needed to pay for rent, water and electricity.
Even Li Li can get extra money to buy clothes, jewelry, etc. Even for ordinary expenses of a wealthy family, it is estimated that they are not so generous.
But seeing that there was only 20,000 yuan, Li Li's parents frowned at the same time, obviously feeling that it was too little and not enough to spend at all. Li Li's mother opened her mouth to say something, but Li Li's father pulled her arm.
Li Li's mother stopped talking. She obviously understood what her husband meant and wanted to calm down first before speaking. It is better to have 20,000 now than to eat glutinous rice before. After a period of time, the relationship between the two parties has eased and I will slowly ask for more.
"We were traveling some time ago... We will stay in Yanjing for the time being." Li Li's father originally wanted to say that he had traveled to many places before, so he planned to stay in Yanjing for a while to rest.
But thinking about that time, my son passed away and my daughter almost committed suicide due to depression. My husband and I were traveling around the mountains and rivers. Although I felt that I had done nothing wrong and indeed had a lot of fun at the time, it was obviously inappropriate to say such things at this time.
"If you like living here, just live here. But first of all, don't think about getting more money from me in the future. I said 20,000 a month is 20,000 a month, and I won't give you a dime more.
And don’t think that I am being taken care of by a rich man now, and when we get to know each other over time, we can defraud him of more money.
You also know who the person who supports me is. If you think he will support you two morons like the old man before, you can give it a try. "Li Li said coldly.
Then he got up and left directly, even though he knew that meeting him would only make him more disappointed, but sometimes people can't control their inner feelings, even if it will bring you many scars.
Hearing their daughter speak like this, a look of anger instantly rose on the faces of Li Li's parents. After all, this is equivalent to being scolded by the daughter who used to obey everything she said. How can you endure this?
But just when the two of them were about to get angry, they saw the female bodyguard who had been standing quietly aside behind Li Li and stared at the two of them blankly.
The two people who were instantly angry had a bucket of cold water poured on their heads to calm down.
Only then did the two of them realize that their daughter seemed to have changed a lot now. What's more important is that the two people my daughter is in love with now are really untouchable.
It is estimated that the two parties remained peaceful and acquiesced in allowing the daughter to give them a little pocket money. This was the maximum tolerance of that person. If he went too far, the other party would probably throw the two of them into the sea to feed the fish. .
You must know that they know something about their son's case. Especially when that person killed several FBI agents in the United States some time ago.
Although the news was quickly suppressed in the end, they actually saw it. And this thing is obviously true. They killed several foreigners, and in the end they continued to be rich people with great arrogance. It didn't seem difficult to just throw the two of them into the sea to feed the fish.
"He is a real boss and there are plenty of women. If you are really a worm like before, what bad influence will you bring to him..." Li Li didn't seem to see the gradual change on her parents' faces. The scowl disappeared, and he gave the two people a warning look before leaving the room with a chuckle.
The room fell silent.
After a while, Li Li's mother's face became furious again: "Look, the good daughter you taught is now threatening us. She..."
The angry mother Li Li grabbed the teapot and threw it in. She was even ready to throw away the 20,000 yuan on the table. As for sending beggars, do you think they have never seen the money?
But when I think about living a life like begging for food during this period, I probably have to buy another teapot if I drop it. But it was only 20,000 yuan a month. She couldn't help but stop her movements and could only yell at her husband with her teeth and claws.
"Okay, be quiet. Spend as much money as you have, and save it in the future." Li Li's father also smoked with a distracted look on his face.
"But 20,000 yuan is not enough."
"Just buy less cosmetics and less clothes." Li Li's father said casually.
"What do you mean I should buy less cosmetics and less clothes? Am I spending this money for myself? I'm not dressing up so beautifully just to win face for you..." Li Li's mother, who was already angry, My hair instantly exploded when I heard this.
"Yes, yes, it's all to save my face. But isn't there not enough money? You should spend less on this in the future." Li Li's father waved his hands impatiently.
"I spend less, why do you spend less? Don't think I don't know, you are raising a little one outside? I saw that woman come to your door asking for money before. Let me tell you, this money was given to us by my daughter If you dare to use your pocket money to raise a child, I will fight you to the death."
"It's endless, isn't it? Do I want to raise a child? This is not the death of a hadron, and you can't have children. I have to leave a root for the old Li family, right? Otherwise, who will fight for us in a hundred years? Send a flag to the end?" Li Li's father's strange reason also refreshed people's outlook on life.
"I'm here to send you off, that's not my son." Li Li's mother snorted coldly: "If you want me to make my own money, then my daughter's money will not be used to support me?"
"What do you mean, your daughter's money? I also have a share of your daughter's money, and I have half of the money." Li Li's father yelled.
"Don't even think about it. You have a share in returning your daughter. How about I tell Li Li that you are raising a little one outside and plan to give her a brother?"
From now on, she will not only use money to support the two of us, but also use money to support your little wife and the children you may have. See if she can give you more money. "
"You want to die, don't you?" In an instant, Li Li's father's face began to look ferocious.
"Why do you want to kill someone? If you have the guts, just strangle me to death. I won't let you feel better if I die. Then let Li Li go to the prison to give you money, and then you can use the money to support your little wife."
As soon as she closed the door, she heard the quarrel coming from behind the door. Li Li paused for a moment, then the gloomy look in her eyes became more and more intense, and her shoulders began to tremble.
"Um..." The female bodyguard opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but for a moment she didn't know how to persuade her.
After all, there were Li Li's parents in the room behind her. She couldn't vent her anger on Li Li by scolding the couple for being too weird, right?
"It's okay." Li Li asked with a forced smile, "When will he arrive?"
