Yanjing is so big that it is beyond imagination.

Standing in the square of Yanjing West Railway Station and looking at the bustling crowds, Xu Yishan felt like he was a different world.

Nearly eight years have passed since he first came to Yanjing.

When Xu Yishan first came to Yanjing, he was about to graduate.

Hu Jin invited him to go to Yanjing to play for a few days, and Xu Yishan happily agreed. That time, he spent four days in Yanjing, eating, drinking, defecating and urinating at Hu Jin's house.

The people from Hu Jin's family were very enthusiastic about him, a guest from another place, and his parents specially invited him to eat at Quanjude.

Before he went, Xu Yishan was still thinking about what great delicacy a duck could have? It was not until he ate a duck until Quanjude had no choice but to realize that any food that seemed ordinary would become the best in the world when he came to the hands of a cooking expert.

Xu Yishan didn't know what Hu Jin's parents did, and he didn't ask. But seeing his father's majestic and his mother's dignified and beautiful, he could feel that Hu Jin's family was definitely not an ordinary family.

Hu Jin's family lives in a courtyard house. Xu Yishan remembers that when he stepped into his courtyard house, he joked with Hu Jin: "Hu Jin, your family lives in a bungalow? Why don't you buy a large elevator building?"

Hu Jin told him with a smile that his family was just an ordinary family and had no money to buy.

Many years later, Xu Yishan realized that the family who lived in Yanjing, who was either rich or noble.

Bai Yu asked Xu Yishan: "Where are we going?"

Xu Yishan thought for a while and said, "Find a place to settle down first."

It is too expensive to stay in Yanjing. The cheapest hotel starts at more than 500 yuan. This is the off-season price. If it is peak season, it is difficult to find a room for a thousand gold coins.

Ali looked at the bustling metropolis and said in amazement: "Oh, Yanjing is so big, at least one hundred of us are big in Hongshan Town."

Xu Yishan wanted to laugh. The hundred Hongshan towns Ali mentioned are probably only half of Yanjing. Ali had never traveled far away before. Since marrying Wang Meng, she has never been to Hongshan Town, and she has never even been to Maoshan County, the county town.

Bai Yu was still sulking about the door locking on the train's soft sleeper compartment.

Of course, everyone pretended that this incident had never happened, and no one mentioned it and said half of it. However, Zhang Zhiyuan seemed much more attentive than when he got on the bus. He was like a servant, carefully serving Xu Yishan and the other three, serving tea and water, running errands to buy food until he got off the bus.

Someone from Zhang Zhiyuan picked up the station and saw that Xu Yishan and the other three were still there, so they warmly invited them to go to the hotel he had booked in advance to rest.

Bai Yu asked: "How much does it cost to stay in a hotel for one night?"

Zhang Zhiyuan stretched out a palm and shook it and said, "Not much, only five thousand yuan."

"Five thousand dollars?" Bai Yu exclaimed and hurriedly said, "Forget it, we can't afford to stay."

Zhang Zhiyuan said: "When you go out, don't treat yourself badly. Besides, you don't pay the accommodation fee yourself when you go on a business trip, so why don't you stay there?"

Bai Yu went to see Xu Yishan.

Xu Yishan thought to himself, I have less than 5,000 yuan in my pocket, how can I go? But he doesn't want to lose face in front of Zhang Zhiyuan. Everyone came from Hengyue City. Zhang Zhiyuan is just a deputy general of Luqiao Company, and he is also a deputy mayor of the government. If he can live, why can't he live?

After thinking about it, the money in my pocket was not enough, so I rudely said, "We have someone to arrange it."

When Zhang Zhiyuan heard that they had made arrangements, he stopped inviteing him.

He took a few steps, turned around and waved to them. Xu Yishan asked casually, "Who is Mr. Zhang calling?"

Bai Yu shook her head, "Not calling me."

Ali, who was standing aside, blushed and whispered: "Did he call me?"

Bai Yu snorted, "Who else did you call me if you didn't ask me? Don't go there."

Ali really didn't dare to go over. Zhang Zhiyuan saw that no one had passed, so he had to turn around and return, and smiled embarrassedly: "I want to say a few words to Ali, okay?"

He brought Ali aside, and the two of them whispered a few words. Xu Yishan saw Zhang Zhiyuan give Ali a stack of money. But he didn't say anything, pretending not to see it, and moved his eyes elsewhere.

As soon as Zhang Zhiyuan left, Xu Yishan's decision also came out.

They went to live in the basement.

The cheapest hotel in Yanjing should be the basement.

The basement was dug during the combat preparations for air defense and was spread throughout Yanjing. Because the chance of modern wars was very small, it was a pity that the basement was idle, so someone used the basement to build a small hotel.

Sure enough, it only costs more than one hundred yuan a night.

The basement has good ventilation and bright lighting. The only regret is that it feels damp everywhere.

Ali complained endlessly, saying that she had come to Yanjing and that she lived in the place she was not as good as her home in Hongshan Town.

Bai Yu said nothing. When Ali complained, she frowned impatiently and said, "If you dislike the bad place, why don't you stay in a five-star hotel with Zhang Zhiyuan?"

Ali blushed in an instant and whispered: "I have nothing to do with him, why should I live with him? I won't go."

Xu Yishan planned to settle the accommodation and contact Hu Jin first to see where he is now and whether he has time to meet him.

He opened two rooms, Bai Yu and Ali, and he was alone. The room was next to each other.

When I entered the room, the humidity became more and more serious. It seemed that water would emerge from the walls, as if it was moldy and deteriorated. If there was a seed, it would grow by pressing it on the wall.

The room was too small to be small, a bed, a small table, and a chair that seemed unstable.

There is no bathroom or windows in the room. Once the door is closed, it will be a completely enclosed space.

Bai Yu soaked a bowl of noodles and brought it over. She looked at Xu Yishan's room and smiled and said, "I didn't expect that the mayor of Xu, the dignified Hongshan Town, actually lived in the basement, and his spirit is commendable."

Xu Yishan smiled and said, "Isn't this money? I know how to enjoy it even if I have money. Didn't Zhang Zhiyuan stay in a hotel worth 5,000 yuan a night? If I want to have money, I will stay in a hotel worth 10,000 yuan a night."

Bai Yu shook his head and comforted, "How can you have the same vision as him? You are a person who lives in a 20-story building, and he lives in a bungalow, and his vision is not at the same level. Zhang Zhiyuan is a nouveau riche, bold and unscrupulous. Can you be like him?"

Xu Yishan smiled and said, "Yes. I am a cadre and cannot try to enjoy it. I should talk about dedication. Besides, we are just staying here for a while. Aren't we sleeping in any place? When we close our eyes, it's the same. But I feel wronged that Sister Bai."

Bai Yu smiled and said, "Don't think too much about where to live? I feel at ease as long as I live with you."

After chatting for a while, Bai Yu stood up and said goodbye and went back to the room.

No one was sleeping well on the train. First, the shop was too narrow, and second, the people on the train were very mobile, and noise was inevitable. Even if you have a great sleep like Xu Yishan and can fall asleep as soon as you hit the pillow, you cannot sleep until dawn.

When sleeping on the train, you can only be confused and not have deep sleep.

After more than twenty hours of long journey, everyone was so tired.

Xu Yishan thought about it, took a nap and made up for the sleep in the car. After waking up, he went directly to Hu Jin's Ministry of Finance to find him.

He ate the instant noodles that Bai Yu brought to eat. As soon as he put his head on the pillow, he heard a violent knock on the door.
