Chapter 1 Money Ability
The moonlight is beautiful tonight and the wind is gentle.
Gao Yuan stood in front of the window, holding a thermos cup with a lot of wolfberry in it, looking at the endless traffic outside the office, and took a deep breath.
This is where his dreams sprouted.
It will also be the place where his dreams wither.
Just this afternoon, he received an ultimatum from his parents: he must see him in his hometown in three days.
At the age of 18, he came to this magical metropolis from a small county in the Central Plains to go to school and work.
Now I have been wandering in this city without a sense of belonging for 12 years.
Gao Yuan has benefited a lot from these 12 years of youth.
Not only did he witness Hangzhou's step-by-step prosperity, he was also nourished and devastated by love.
Over the years, Gao Yuan has had six girlfriends, from being a student to a young woman. It is impossible to describe all of these experiences.
Sadly, no one is willing to marry him so far, and all he has left of love is the aftertaste.
Just last week, one of the company's designers resigned.
His office romance also ended in regret, and he became a single nobleman again.
After graduating from Gao Yuan University, he changed four jobs, from an intern to a department head of a listed company, with a monthly salary ranging from 3K to 30K.
It also transformed him from a handsome young man into a greasy uncle full of fat.
Time is really a butcher's knife!
Silently, but irreversibly changing a person.
After finishing his cigarette, Gao Yuan glanced at this city that never sleeps with his nostalgic gaze. With a heavy heart on his mind, he turned around and sat on the leather sofa in the office.
This sofa not only helped him negotiate projects, but also left the smell of his ex-girlfriend.
Leaning on the sofa, Gao Yuan opened WeChat on his phone again.
The interface is a small group of four people, the group name is: Love each other as a family.
Looking through the chat history, there are all voice notes from my parents and sister.
"Xiaoyuan, your Aunt Zhang introduced a girl to you the day before yesterday. She is the same age as you. Come back and meet her."
"And your Aunt Qin, I don't know what An's thinking is, but she wants to introduce you to a woman who is married and has a baby."
This is what Gao Yuan's mother said.
The meaning behind the words was that she wanted him to go back to his hometown for a blind date and get married as soon as possible.
And it was clearly pointed out that if he waits for a few years, he will really have no choice but to marry a woman with children.
"Xiaoyuan, I will retire in two years. Your mother retired last month."
"Come back soon, while we are still young, get married, have children, and live a down-to-earth life!"
This is what Gao Yuan's father said.
The meaning behind the words was that he wanted him to return to his hometown as soon as possible to develop his career and bow his head and accept his fate.
It was also clearly stated that the two of them were about to retire, and the family would be supported by him from now on.
As for Gao Yuan's sister, she didn't say much and basically followed the wishes of the two old men and tried to reason with him.
Gao Yuan has been watching and thinking about the words of a loving family in the crowd since yesterday.
What my parents said is correct and practical.
His current income seems to be quite a lot, but he doesn't know if it can last for a long time. He hasn't saved much money over the years, and it is even more nonsense to buy a house and settle in Hangzhou.
But the unwillingness in his heart kept resisting, resisting, and rejecting this arrangement.
Until today, the human resources director of the head office came to talk to him.
He explained to him that the company's performance this year was particularly poor and that it was at the point of life and death. The next step was to lay off employees and improve everyone's efficiency.
The words actually mean the same thing, and that is to persuade them to quit!
For a director-level employee like him, who is a five-year veteran, the company's resignation package is three months' salary compensation.
This is against labor law, but Gao Yuan also knows that this is the best choice.
Ordinary employees can make N+1 requests, but he, the director, cannot make this request.
From the moment he became a laborer, he knew that this day would come sooner or later.
Because this is Hangzhou, a city full of talents and the largest e-commerce industry in the country.
For a long time,
Gao Yuan replied with two words in the crowd of loving family: "Okay."
After these two words were spoken, Gao Yuan's hand holding the phone tightly had veins bulging, and the unwillingness in his heart reached its peak at this moment.
Twelve years!
How many twelve years are there in life?
Even if Gao Yuan was unwilling to give in, thinking about his elderly parents, the housing prices in Hangzhou, and looking at his fat belly, for a moment he collapsed on the sofa like a deflated doll.
Just be an ordinary person!
At the age of thirty, the rest of your life is almost over at a glance. Mediocrity is the norm. Go back to your hometown and live step by step.
but,
Gao Yuan still made a last-ditch struggle and delivered his last words to the crowd of a loving family.
"I'm going home in a week!"
This is his last stubbornness and his last nostalgia for this city.
This last sentence seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he lay down directly on the sofa.
"I never thought about me, this wanton soul"
Gao Yuan's cell phone, which he had thrown on the coffee table, started to vibrate.
But at this moment, he really didn't want to move or answer anyone's call, so he let his phone vibrate on the coffee table.
The ringtone of the mobile phone stopped suddenly,
Gao Yuan feels that the world is finally clean!
However, the next moment the phone rang again.
"Fuck, it's endless!"
The troubles in Gao Yuan's heart instantly turned into boundless anger. He sat up straight, grabbed the cell phone on the coffee table, and connected the phone without looking at it.
"Who! Endless?"
The person on the other end of the phone did not expect to be greeted by Gao Yuan's anger just after the call was connected. After a brief pause, a charming royal voice sounded.
"Mr. Gao, I am Xiaomei. Who is it that has offended our Mr. Gao!"
"It's so popular, it just so happens that I have a new sister here."
Hearing this voice, Gao Yuan's head suddenly cleared up.
I put the phone in front of me and took a look. The profile picture was of a woman with an extremely exaggerated waist-to-hip ratio. Her name was: Mei Ting.
Gao Yuan's tone suddenly softened, and he said softly: "I won't go tonight."
This woman named Mei Ting is a K-marketer whom Gao Yuan met in a nightclub in Hangzhou.
As the name suggests, he is beautiful and strong.
He is not very old either, twenty-eight years old.
When Gao Yuan saw her for the first time, he was attracted by her tall figure with an extremely exaggerated waist-to-hip ratio.
She is very beautiful, even with light makeup, she still gives people a stunning look.
After more than half a year of taking care of her, he has played games such as Mountains and Flowing Waters, Windmill, and Seven-Star Ladybug.
Of course, Gao Yuan also experienced Hangzhou-style service from Xiao Mei.
However, Gao Yuan had no interest in playing today.
After hanging up the phone, Gao Yuan lay on the sofa and squinted.
When the time came to midnight, the live broadcast team outside the office also stopped broadcasting, packed up and left the company.
Gao Yuan's body suddenly shivered and he opened his eyes drowsily.
"Fell asleep."
He just had a long dream. In the dream, he returned to his hometown, married a similar woman, and gave birth to a child. Without the desire to fight, he lived a miserable life, and finally died with regrets. .
After muttering something in his mouth, Gao Yuan put his legs on the coffee table and stood up.
However, just after taking two steps, I suddenly felt a spinning feeling in my head.
Holding on to the desk, Gao Yuan sat down on the comfortable office chair. Gao Yuan was rubbing his temples to relax when a ding came from his mind.
"Ding!"
