1. The air conditioner is not free(1/2)
"It's time to buy an electric fan."
——
Chengdu in July is like a big steamer.
Li An was woken up by the heat again early in the morning.
He felt that he was holding back the vast Blue Star crossing army.
It's been two months since I arrived on Earth, and my system has failed.
Air conditioning is free, too.
Thinking about buying a fan after get off work, Li An got up from the bed and staggered to his private bathroom of less than two square meters with his mobile phone.
Although the space is small, the advantage is that it is smaller.
A piece of music that he had been listening to recently was played, and Ang Lee threw his cell phone into a black plastic bag hanging on the wall.
"take five" is indeed more suitable for taking a shower.
In the cracked mirror, it was like a shower head suffering from a urinary tract infection. It was originally just dripping, but now it is accompanied by a four- or five-beat rhythm filled with water vapor, which can be regarded as a unique falling frequency.
Life is like this. You don’t need a penny for firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, and tea. Sometimes you have to have some fun on your own.
Ang Lee loves life and music. He has been fascinated by the piano since he was a child.
Although his dream of becoming a pianist was rejected by reality when he grew up, he was content to become a piano teacher.
Pianist and piano teacher, after rounding, the difference is barely too big.
The piano was once his means of making a living, and the piano is still his means of making a living today.
In this world that almost completely overlaps with the political, economic, cultural and historical history of Blue Star, his only skill is piano playing.
This is similar to the situation of the original owner.
Both of them graduated from formal music conservatories majoring in piano performance.
But after graduation, their life trajectories were completely different.
Less than three years after graduating from university, Ang Lee saved 150,000 yuan in personal savings by teaching piano and performing part-time.
He originally planned to wait until the money was enough to save 200,000 to go abroad to continue studying.
After the original owner graduated from college, he didn't want to go back to his hometown or go out to find a job. He played games in the rental house during the day and went out to mess around at night.
If you don’t make money, your expenses will be greater.
This also directly caused Ang Lee to passively inherit the personal debt of 80,000 accumulated by the original owner in the past two years.
Sixty-five thousand of them came from Huabei and Jiebei, and the rest came from classmates and friends.
If you want to start your life again, it is urgent to pay off your debts
To be honest, Ang Lee also considered reaching out to the old father of the original owner.
But he couldn't open his mouth.
The original owner's family conditions were the same as his, coming from an ordinary single-earner family in a small 18th-tier county.
How can such a family provide for an art student? There is no need to describe the hardships faced by the parents. Anyone who has experienced it will understand.
In Li An's mind, the original owner's parents always thought that the original owner found a decent job after graduating from college and lived a life in Chengdu that was the envy of the neighbors.
But in fact, two and a half years after graduation, I had no job and 80,000 yuan in debt.
Li An could imagine what the two old men would do after they learned the truth.
He really couldn't bear it.
So it can't think about it any further.
Life has to look forward.
Just like that, Ang Lee entered the first copy of the Earth Station with all his belongings, 250 yuan, to pay back the money.
The first step is to solve the current livelihood problem.
Among all the daily jobs that Ang Lee can think of, part-time pianist is the one he is most familiar with.
After four days of site inspection, Li An selected 7 Western restaurants with different locations and styles in the Chengdu area.
I went directly to the manager through self-recommendation and got two interview opportunities.
With the experience and music library accumulated from many years of performing, both families were very satisfied with him after a one-week trial period.
After some haggling, he finally chose the one with a slightly higher pay.
Every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday, 19:30 to 21:00.
200 days to settle, plus one dinner.
The second step is to find a stable income.
After solving the short-term food problem, Li An immediately joined the great education industry.
Once again relying on his excellent professional quality and teaching experience, and after two rounds of interviews, Li An successfully found a full-time piano teacher job at a large music training institution in Chengdu.
The internship period is three months, and social security will be provided if you become a full-time employee after half a year.
In places like social art training institutions, regardless of the minimum guarantee, the real income is actually only linked to class hours.
How much do you get for how many classes you take?
Although Li An only has three students for the time being, with the guarantee, he still has a stable income.
In this way, after arriving on earth for exactly fifty days, Li An earned a total of 6,480.
3200 (part-time) 2500 (guaranteed during internship) 65 (class hours divided) * 3 (number of students) * 4 (class hours).
Among them, 680 is used as a budget for daily expenses, and another 500 is deposited in the bank.
The remaining 5,300 was paid back in two amounts.
The first 2,800 was paid back to Huabei and Borrower for the month.
The second payment of 2,500 was made to two old classmates who had a long-standing debt relationship. The principal was 2,300, and the extra 200 was 100 per person as interest.
“Much more comfortable.”
After taking a refreshing cold shower, Li An came to the kitchen wet and ate some steamed buns and pickles with the leftover porridge from last night.
Although life has been difficult for the past two months, Li An also feels that life is beginning to look forward to as his debts begin to decrease.
No, I even dare to think about electric fans.
After eating and drinking enough, Li An put some cat food in the cat litter for the 80,000-year-old cat, and Li An finished gluing the hair on his pants and got ready to go out.
The orange cat, like Huabei, is his reward as a time traveler.
Before 80,000, he was called Ou Huang, which made Li An unhappy.
"I'm going to work. If you pee again today, I'll cut your balls off after I buy the fan and I'll be free."
Seeing Li An pointing at him, Bawan stretched out his front paws, then jumped from the bed to the window sill and continued to bask in the sun.
hehe.
Blue Sky Elegant Art Promotion Center is Li Antian’s workplace.
This institution has been established in Chengdu for more than 20 years. It has grown from one campus to four campuses and has grown in scale. In recent years, it has firmly established itself as the industry leader in the region.
The Yudong campus where Li An works is the second largest campus of Blue Sky. It is located on the ninth floor of an office building in a prosperous area of the old city.
It only takes 40 minutes by bus from the entrance of the community.
At 7:55, he arrived downstairs at the unit on time.
"Good morning, beautiful sister, you look better today."
After exiting the ninth-floor elevator, Li An greeted Wang Meili, who was recovering from a serious illness at the front desk.
"My husband made the buns yesterday, would you like to try them?" Wang Meili smiled and raised the buns in her hand.
Since Li An joined the company, he would take the initiative to greet her every day when he gets out of the elevator. Over time, the two of them have become familiar with each other.
She had just had an operation some time ago, and among the teachers, Li Anguan was the one who asked the most questions.
As an ordinary front desk administrator, Wang Meili didn't feel that she was worthy of being pleased.
Teacher Xiao Li is sweet-tongued and kind-hearted.
"Thank you, please eat. I have to go to class first."
Declining Chen Meili's kindness, Li An clocked in and walked into the teaching area.
The beginning of July is approaching the end of the term. In the past two weeks, Yudong has been much deserted than before.
Most of the students took time off to review at home to prepare for the school's final exams. There was a lot less laughter and a lot less parents in the hall.
At the same time, it also loses a lot of the smell of elementary school students.
When passing by the door of piano classroom No. 2, Li An again heard Lin Pengfei bragging with the students inside.
