"I'm sorry, sister, I had prepared the rent. But I... I suddenly lost my mobile phone in the past two days. I spent money to buy a mobile phone yesterday. Do you think I can give you a piece of it next month?" Shi Xiaomeng said The voice sounded.
"Why do you always have a reason? What does it have to do with my house whether you lose your mobile phone or not? If you lose it here today and there tomorrow, I will never get the rent again!" the landlord said in an eccentric manner.
"Xiao Meng, what's wrong?"
Shen Bing heard the sound and walked out of the room.
"nothing."
Shi Xiaomeng replied to Shen Bing and then said to the landlord: "Sister, can you be more polite? Isn't it just a few thousand yuan?"
"Oh! That's easy to say, isn't it just a few thousand yuan? Yes, it's a few thousand yuan. Where's the money? You also have to have a few hundred yuan. Do you have it? Can you take it out? Tell you, if you don't have any money, immediately Just move out. You move out in the morning and someone will move in in the afternoon. The rent is higher than what you paid!" The landlord is like a shrew, looking arrogant and domineering.
"you……"
"Sorry, sister, how much is the rent?"
Just as Shi Xiaomeng was about to get angry, Shen Bing stopped him.
"One quarter, four thousand and five thousand!" said the landlord.
Hearing what the landlord said, Shen Bing suddenly looked embarrassed.
Originally, she did have money, but when she was shopping in the afternoon, Yang Zixi kept talking in her ear about the good of this and that, recommended various clothes, cosmetics, and accessories to her, and tried her best to make her spend money. money.
Although she had exercised great restraint, she still accidentally spent the money.
I only bought myself a set of nice clothes and a few cosmetics, and ended up with less than two thousand in hand.
It's hard to make money these days, but it's easy to spend money.
"Why, you don't have any money? How can you rent a house without money..." The landlord rolled his eyes, his face full of contempt.
"Sister, don't speak so harshly. It's just a little money. Who doesn't have a hard time?" Yang Chen walked in and said.
"Who are you? Just a little money? Yes, it's just this little money. If you can, help him get it!" The landlord looked contemptuous.
"I'll take it, I'll take it!"
Yang Chen took out a stack of money directly from his pocket, counted it quickly, and handed it to the landlord, "Are you counting correctly?"
Shi Xiaomeng opened his mouth, intending to refuse, but seeing the domineering look on the landlord's face, he couldn't speak at all.
"snort."
The landlord took the money and counted them one by one.
"Xiaomeng, I still have three thousand, take it first." Yang Chen handed the remaining money to Shi Xiaomeng.
"No, Lao Yang, you have helped me pay the rent, I can't take your money anymore." Shi Xiaomeng declined quickly.
"Don't be polite, just take it as I am a friend. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your wife. It's almost winter, so you can't buy more clothes for your wife." Yang Chen road.
"This..." Shi Xiaomeng glanced at Shen Bing, hesitantly.
"Take it!" Yang Chen put the money into his hand.
"I will pay you back the money as soon as possible." Shi Xiaomeng took the money, but felt so uncomfortable that he wanted to cry.
I think that I am a dignified, seven-foot-tall man who has worked hard in a strange city for so long, but in the end, he still has to look at other people's faces for a little money, and behaves in a low manner. Just thinking about it makes me feel aggrieved and uncomfortable, and my heart is full of resentment.
There was too much unwillingness in his heart.
Why do you work so hard, yet live so humblely? And some people can live in a luxury house, drive a luxury car, don't have to do anything every day, and can be romantic and happy everywhere.
"Exactly four thousand and five thousand, no more, no less." The landlord collected the money and said to Shi Xiaomeng, "Shi Xiaomeng, how many people live in your house? I registered the rental house in accordance with the regulations. I have to take responsibility for things. You young people are simply lawless and messing around..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? She is my girlfriend, and we are getting married! The rent has been paid to you, so why are you talking nonsense?" Shi Xiaomeng was already angry enough, but after hearing the landlord's words, he couldn't help it anymore, and directly Get mad at her.
"I'm warning you! My house was very clean when I rented it to you. If you try to play tricks with me or do some shameful things, I have the right to kick you out!" The landlord didn't show any weakness.
"Say it again, believe it or not, I will slap you!" Shi Xiaomeng was really anxious.
"Xiao Meng, don't be as knowledgeable as her." Yang Chen stopped him.
"I don't want to be familiar with her. Do you want to hear what she says as a human being?" Shi Xiaomeng asked.
"How funny, can't you understand people's words?" the landlord said.
"I've given you the money, why don't you leave? Do you really want to get beaten?" Yang Chen glared at the landlord.
"Hit me? If you let him come, I don't believe he dares..." The landlord had the unruly energy of a shrew.
"Okay, sister, please stop saying a few words and don't let the neighbors see the joke." Shen Bing said while holding back her anger.
The landlord half pushed and half backed out of the door, then stretched his neck in and said to her: "Girl, if you are not stupid, don't waste your good days here!"
"Believe it or not, I will slap you if you don't leave!" Shi Xiaomeng said angrily.
The landlord shrank his neck in fright and whispered: "I brought a woman back from nowhere..."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaomeng wanted to chase him out.
Shen Bing quickly grabbed him.
"Okay, Xiaomeng, don't get angry with her. There are too many people who look down on others like this, and you can't deal with them." Yang Chen also advised.
"Lao Yang, thank you so much today. When I have money, I will pay it back to you immediately." Shi Xiaomeng was silent for a moment, and then said to him.
"It's okay. I'm not in a hurry. I'll wait until you have money." Yang Chen said.
"I'm sorry, Xiaomeng. Actually, it's all my fault. I originally had money, but I spent it while shopping today. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been scolded." Shen Bing lowered her head and said.
"I'm sorry for you. I called you here from my hometown, but I have to make you suffer and get scolded with me." Shi Xiaomeng hugged Shen Bing into his arms.
Shen Bing shook his head.
"Ahem, you two get tired of it, I'm leaving first." Yang Chen coughed lightly and walked out the door.
Shi Xiaomeng quickly sent him out.
Yang Chen could see that Shi Xiaomeng was suppressing anger in his heart, his eyes were full of unwillingness, and his body was full of resentment. Maybe this was the beginning of his darkening.
After closing the door, Shi Xiaomeng was silent for a moment, and said sadly: "I worked eleven thousand times more than the madman, but what I got was not even as good as his little finger. When I came here, everyone was Tell me, BJ is very good. Everyone has done this and that in BJ. I have been studying in BJ for four years, and I think I am almost a BJ person now..."
At this point, he laughed at himself and said bitterly: "Dream! If you don't have money or a house, you will always be a foreigner. If you stand on the street corner wearing the same color as the wall, someone will come to check your temporary residence permit. The word "stable" It was never yours."
"It's great to be able to stay in BJ. If we can't stay, we will go back to our hometown. In our hometown, you can stand wherever you like. We have our parents, delicious pea tips, and people we grew up with. My friend..." Shen Bing comforted softly.
"For the outsiders who come here, no one misses their hometown, but no one can go back..." Shi Xiaomeng sighed, with too much helplessness in his tone.
"If you can go back, you can go back if you want to!" Although Shen Bing's voice was soft, his expression was very determined.
"No, that means admitting defeat! If you lose this time, you will be defeated forever!" A look of determination flashed across Shi Xiaomeng's face, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Even if we accept our fate, we cannot admit defeat. We must stay! We will die. You have to stay! You have to live a decent life to show these guys who look down on others!"
Shen Bing looked at his expression and felt a little uneasy...
Xiaomeng, you have changed, you were not like this before!
…
The next day, Shi Xiaomeng went to work at the company.
Hu Rongqiang called him to the office.
Shi Xiaomeng walked in nervously.
"Sit, sit, sit, why are you so nervous?" Hu Rongqiang smiled.
Shi Xiaomeng glanced at Hu Rongqiang and sat down with some anxiety.
"Xiao Meng, I understand very well that you told me about buying a house two days ago. I didn't sleep well last night. Indeed, if we outsiders want to really establish a foothold in BJ, this house will always be the first one. Big deal!" Hu Rongqiang said with a smile.
"Brother Hu, you said, as long as you don't deduct my 80,000 yuan bonus, anything will do!" Shi Xiaomeng said hopefully.
"The 80,000 yuan will still be deducted..."
"Brother Hu..."
"Xiao Meng, don't worry, you know I have always regarded you as my biological brother! Don't say I didn't give you the opportunity! There is an order now. If you complete it, you will get a bonus of 200,000 yuan, and you will cash it out immediately!"
"Two hundred thousand?!"
Hearing Hu Rongqiang's words, Shi Xiaomeng was stunned.
"That's right, and I will also promote you to be the manager of the planning department, with an annual salary of 300,000 yuan!" Hu Rongqiang said with a smile.
"Brother Hu - there is such a big list, will it be my turn?" Shi Xiaomeng couldn't believe it.
"You have to do this business. I'm afraid no one else can do it." Hu Rongqiang showed a meaningful smile.
Shi Xiaomeng looked at the expression on Hu Rongqiang's face, and seemed to understand something.
"You mean..."
"That's right, Tiancheng Group's annual advertising deal!" Hu Rongqiang nodded.
After hearing his words, Shi Xiaomeng fell silent immediately.
"Why didn't you say anything? Aren't you and Cheng Feng buddies?" Hu Rongqiang said.
"We are friends, but we never involve business matters..." Shi Xiaomeng looked embarrassed.
"It's because you haven't been involved before that your opening your mouth for the first time seems valuable and he will take it seriously." Seeing Shi Xiaomeng's thoughtful expression, Hu Rongqiang continued, "This kind of thing is very important to Dade Group. It's just a drop in the bucket for you, but for you, Shi Xiaomeng, it's a big step in your life. You're not deceiving your buddies. We took Dade's advertisement and did our best to do it well. Looking back, he still wanted Thank you."
"But Dade's advertisements have always been produced by 4A companies like Ogilvy." Shi Xiaomeng was very confused.
"Which advertising company has not grown from small to large, and who is born as a 4A? Do you, Shi Xiaomeng, think your ability is worse than those in 4A? A bonus of 200,000 yuan is enough for you to pay off the down payment of a house. An annual salary of 300,000 yuan , in addition to the monthly payment, the remaining money is enough to buy a car and marry a wife!" Hu Rongqiang's tone was full of confusion.
"But, I always feel like doing this..." Shi Xiaomeng's brows furrowed.
"You think you don't have the ability to do a good job in Dade's advertising? Do you think the relationship between you and Cheng Feng can't withstand the test? Stop hesitating, believe in your own abilities, and believe in the friendship between you and Cheng Feng. You You know, another wave of new college students are about to graduate. It's difficult. I've said everything that needs to be said. Come on, Xiaomeng, it all depends on man-made efforts!" Hu Rongqiang said seriously and sincerely. It seemed to leave room for him, but he pushed him to a dead end.
Shi Xiaomeng nodded hesitantly and walked out the door in a daze.
Hu Rongqiang patted Shi Xiaomeng on the shoulder and said meaningfully: "Xiao Meng, you have to understand that money is a good thing. It only likes you if you like it. It will bring you everything you want! Everything in the world They are all the same, just the price is different..."
…
at the same time.
Cheng Feng picked up Shen Bing and took her to the kindergarten for an interview.
Shen Bing was conducting an interview in the classroom.
Cheng Feng peeked through the crack in the door, listening to her beautiful singing voice and looking at her elegant posture. For a moment, he felt like he was seeing an angel, with a crazy expression on his face.
The teachers who interviewed were very satisfied with Shen Bing's performance.
In the afternoon, Shi Xiaomeng also came to the kindergarten to inquire about the progress of Shen Bing's interview. When talking to Cheng Feng, he told him that Hu Rongqiang asked him to take a large advertising order from Dade Group.
"This bastard Hu Rongqiang won't be able to sleep at night unless he squeezes the last drop of oil out of you. Xiaomeng, at first glance, you look like he died early because of all the mechanisms. If you follow him, one day you will Cells mutate due to excessive pressure, and you will not end up well. I advise you to leave this meat grinder-like company as soon as possible." Cheng Feng cursed bitterly, "Give me his phone number, and I will Just call him and see if I don’t scold him to death and smash his wishful thinking!”
"Madman, I'm different from you. I can't lose this job. Just pretend I didn't say anything. I'll find a way on my own. He just wants results. I'll go to more companies and win more jobs." Just an advertisement, he won't really fire me..." Shi Xiaomeng said awkwardly, looking a little reluctant. "Really, don't take this matter to heart, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Cheng Feng fell silent. If it were another matter, he would definitely agree without hesitation.
But Dade Group's annual advertisement needed his father Cheng Sheng'en's personal nod.
The relationship between Cheng Feng and his father was very bad, which made him very embarrassed.
At this time, the laughter of Shen Bing and the children came from the classroom.
For Shen Bing's sake, he still hesitantly agreed: "I'll ask Old Cheng first tonight if the order has been given to anyone else..."
the other side.
Yang Zixi went to the company to check in, and then asked for leave. She originally planned to ask Shen Bing out to play, instill in her the concept of money first, let her know the benefits of money, and break up with Shi Xiaomeng as soon as possible.
But Shen Bing had to go for an interview, so she had to change her goal temporarily and go to the property market to find a house.
Plan to put the house in place as soon as possible.
