Sansha City.

Shunjie Building.

On the 12th floor, a conference room.

"We understand your situation. I will communicate with our technicians and leaders. Today's interview will be here first. You can go back and wait for our news." The HR of Xuanhua Company said with a smile.

"Okay." A young man sitting opposite HR stood up and nodded. Although there was a smile on his face, he looked a little bitter.

Afterwards, the young man walked out of the meeting room without stopping.

...

The young man who just came out of Xuanhua Company was named Cao Xingyu.

Cao Xingyu is 22 years old and has just graduated from university for two months.

He is 178 tall, well-proportioned, with an oval face and exquisite facial features.

"It's over again." Standing in the elevator with no one around, Cao Xingyu finally couldn't help shaking his head helplessly and sighed.

He couldn't count how many interviews this was his first time, and he naturally knew what the result would be for such kind words that asked him to go home and wait for the news.

It stands to reason that in this era when the Internet is becoming more and more developed in 2020, it should not be difficult to find a job with the computer major studied at Cao Xingyu University. eat.

But in the end he hit a wall everywhere.

Blame it on him for playing games at school instead of studying hard, and his professional skills are too low. Coupled with the fact that college students are already bad at the street, the stepping stone for many slightly larger companies to recruit has changed from a bachelor's degree a few years ago to 985/211.

And Cao Xingyu is just a college student with three books, and his professional skills are not outstanding, so how can he have any advantages?

Cao Xingyu first rubbed his temples, then took out his mobile phone and opened the Alipay APP to check the balance on it:

44 yuan.

This is all his current net worth.

It's really difficult... Cao Xingyu curled his lips.

I hope that the interview in the afternoon will go well, otherwise, I will feel a little emboldened to open my mouth and ask my family for money.

 …

In a flash, the time came to night.

Xinlian Dream City.

Building 19 1801.

Although this house is only 137 square meters, it has five bedrooms and two living rooms.

It stands to reason that this area does not have such a large space, but this community is a bit special, or the developer is very conscientious. After removing the common area, the house actually gave away two small rooms with more than ten square meters and no windows. , In the end, this house not only became 0 shared, but also made the actual usable area of ​​the house reach 141 square meters.

The high rate of occupancy has also become the biggest selling point of Xinlian Dream City. Every time the new building is opened, it is very popular and sold out!

Looking back, 1801 is currently rented by a second landlord and built into 6 hardcover small single rooms, which are rented out separately.

And Cao Xingyu rented one of the south-facing second bedrooms in the early 10s without a separate bathroom. The monthly rent is 800.

"Hic..." Cao Xingyu hiccupped while sitting at the only table in the room.

There was a bowl of Master Kong instant noodles (spicy beef flavor) in front of him, and he drank all the soup from the instant noodles.

This is the first time he has eaten instant noodles. It's not because he likes instant noodles, but the money on hand makes him have no better choice.

Cao Xingyu, who originally had 44 yuan in the morning, now only has 28 yuan left after deducting the subway bus fare and a bowl of instant noodles spent on the interview and going home in the afternoon.

As for the results of the interview in the afternoon...

Don't mention it.

"Ring ring ring..."

At this time, the phone on the table rang.

After Cao Xingyu wiped his mouth, he reached out and picked up the phone.

When he saw the word 'landlord' displayed on the phone screen, the expression on his face suddenly froze.

Calculate the time... This is the next month's rent to be paid...

I forgot about this...

Cao Xingyu's mood became more and more depressed.

"Hello, Auntie the landlord." After pressing the answer button, Cao Xingyu tried his best to keep his tone as polite as possible.

"Xiao Cao, two days have passed since the rent payment date, why hasn't your next month's rent been transferred?" A questioning voice without much emotion came from the phone.

"Well, Auntie, please tolerate me for another two days. You also know that I have just graduated, and I am a little nervous at the moment." Cao Xingyu explained.

"Didn't I not rush you two days ago? Also, the house you rented was originally going to be rented out for 1,000 yuan. I just knew that you were a college student who just graduated, so I gave you a little extra discount! And I made an exception. Let you press to pay! What's the matter, it's all like this, do you still owe Auntie the rent?"

"I'll transfer it to you within two days." Cao Xingyu said after being silent for a while.

"Well, hurry up, if you don't pay the rent in these two days, move out as soon as possible! Don't even think about the deposit!" After finishing speaking, the landlord hung up the phone directly.

"Beep beep..." Listening to the blind voice coming from the mobile phone, Cao Xingyu sighed.

Life is so hard...

No, this is no longer living, but thinking about how to live...

At this moment, Cao Xingyu regretted that he didn't learn some knowledge to enrich his major, and his thoughts became more and more profound.

In a quarter of an hour.

Cao Xingyu dialed his father's phone number.

"Dad." Cao Xingyu called out.

"Hmm." A deep and magnetic voice came from the other end of the phone: "Find a job?"

"Not yet." When talking about work, Cao Xingyu's mood became more and more depressed, and he replied.

"Oh." After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, he said, "Then you are out of money again, right?"

Cao Xingyu gave an embarrassing "hmm" and continued, "And I have to pay another month's rent here."

After a short silence on the other end of the phone, he said, "Son, you are now 22 years old, and you have been an adult for four years. Your mother and I brought you up from childhood, and let you eat well and wear well. Okay, until you graduate from university, you have already fulfilled your obligations as a parent. And you are a man now, it is necessary to learn to face difficulties and solve them by yourself, and you can’t just think about it when things happen. Seeing that our parents can help you solve the problem, we are not too young, how many times can we help you? I didn’t want to call you for the living expenses of the first two months, but I really can’t beat your mother, but now I still make I made a difficult decision. I decided that my mother and I will no longer send money to you. As for the rent and living expenses, you can figure out a way by yourself. You can also ask a friend to borrow the money. Remember to borrow the money as soon as possible after you find a job. Pay it off, don't default on other people's favors."

"Eh." Cao Xingyu was stunned for a moment, and at the same time, the call had been hung up by the other party.

...

At this moment, a community in Lingcheng.

Cao Xingyu's hometown, in the living room.

"Old Cao, are you being too cruel to our son by doing this? He is a college student who has just graduated and is still in a strange big city. Where can he borrow money?" Deng Na asked with a worried look on her face.

"Cruel? Back then, I went out without a penny, so I lived a good life!" Cao Yong curled his lips indifferently: "You don't understand at all, boys just want to be poor, and you have to force him appropriately. , put a little pressure on him, how can he be motivated without pressure? How can he support a family in the future if he can’t even bear this pressure? Can we rely on us for a lifetime? My wife, we have to let go now Let your son face some difficulties independently, you spoil him too much, if you had listened to me earlier, your son would not have become so ignorant, and now he can't even find a job!"

"Okay, you're blaming me, right?" Dunna stared.

Cao Yong snorted coldly, stopped talking, and walked straight to the room.

Dunna, who stayed in the living room, took out her mobile phone from her pocket, stared at the screen of the mobile phone and quickly found a number in the address book, with a tangled look on her face.

A few minutes later, Dunna stomped her feet, as if she had made up her mind, and finally put the phone back in her pocket.

...

Xinlian Dream City.

Cao Xingyu was half lying on the bed, staring blankly at the cell phone in his hand.

Obviously, this result was unexpected by him.

Although he would rather eat instant noodles and save money, he is embarrassed to ask his family for money again and again, but when he is desperate, asking his family for money is his only way out.

And perhaps because of this retreat, Cao Xingyu didn't feel much pressure deep down in his heart, even though his job search was not going well.

But now, there is no way out.

Cao Xingyu's inner emotions became tense for the first time.

After all, if he can't pay the rent in these two days, he will face the situation of being kicked out by the landlord...

There are also daily food and bus fares for interviews, all of which cost money...

As for whether to blame the parents? Cao Xingyu took it very seriously, or he didn't think it was unreasonable what his father said just now.

I really want to grow up, I can't just rely on my family to help me, otherwise how will I survive in society in the future?

Cao Xingyu clenched his fist unconsciously.

"Borrowing money..." Cao Xingyu pursed his lips. This seemed to be the only feasible way for him to settle the rent and living expenses as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, he quickly filtered through his mind the friends who were rich and willing to lend him money.

In the end, I chose a roommate and buddy Liu Yanan from college,

"This kid has been working for more than two months, so he should have some spare money."

After thinking for a while, Cao Xingyu called Liu Yanan.

As soon as the phone was connected, an unusually loud voice came from the other end: "Liu Yanan was not born to me, China is like a long night forever!"

Hearing this, Cao Xingyu immediately rolled his eyes, his originally tense mood unavoidably had some ups and downs, and said, "Pumpkin, can you stop being so secondary? Can't you read less online novels?"

"Oh, you don't understand." Liu Yanan said disdainfully.

"Stop making trouble, I have business to see you." Cao Xingyu sighed.

"What's the matter?" Liu Yanan said calmly, "There is nothing in this world that can trouble me, Liu Yanan."

"You..." Forget it, Cao Xingyu was a little powerless to complain, and could only complain from the bottom of his heart that Internet novels are really harmful. Then he went straight to the point: "Lend me some money."

"Heh, money is just a number to me, Liu Yanan." Liu Yanan said flatly, "Tell me, how much to borrow."

"1500, I will pay 800 for the rent, and the remaining 700 will be used for living expenses and transportation expenses." Cao Xingyu replied after calculating in his heart.

"1500?" Liu Yanan's tone was calm: "It's only that little, you have the nerve to ask me, Liu Yanan?"

"You can do it." Cao Xingyu raised his hand to cover his forehead, and said, "Do you have it? I will pay you back as soon as possible when I find a job here."

"Heh, Xiaoqian, you don't have to pay back anything, Xiaocao, you are a little out of touch with my Liu Yanan." Liu Yanan replied flatly: "I will transfer you to Alipay later."

Afterwards, the two briefly inquired about each other's current situation, and then hung up the phone.

...

Sansha City.

Xinyuan District.

"Damn it, borrow 1,500, borrow so much," Liu Yanan opened Alipay, looked at his remaining balance of more than 2,000, and sat in front of the computer with a sad expression on his face.

Sadly, he still clicked transfer, chose Cao Xingyu's account, and transferred 1500.

"My good brother has encountered difficulties and can't even pay the rent. I have no reason to sit idly by."

"Anyway, the salary will be paid in more than 20 days, and there are a few hundred left to save some money. If it can last, it's not a big problem."

"Well, continue to read the novel, the cup-filling routine in it is really a must-learn for my generation..."

...

the other end.

After receiving Liu Yanan's money transfer, Cao Xingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, his best friend was still reliable. He didn't need to say anything more, and the money was transferred to him with just a few words.

Of course, he has to remember this favor, no matter how good the relationship between the two parties is.

After receiving the money, Cao Xingyu immediately contacted the landlord and transferred the rent.

Afterwards, after submitting a round of resumes online again, Cao Xingyu got up and went to wash up before going to sleep.

After lying on the bed, Cao Xingyu tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep, and seriously thought about his future path,

"Without income, I still have to face pressures such as rent, living expenses...and now I owe foreign debts."

"If it doesn't work, don't do this major, just find a job at random, and let's talk about having an income first!"

"In short, there is no unparalleled road, at worst, I will go to the construction site to move bricks!"

After a long time, Cao Xingyu fell into sleep.

...

Just as Cao Xingyu was falling asleep, what he didn't know was that cold words sounded in his mind:

System binding successful...

The system begins to load...

Progress 1%...2%...
