Chapter 37: Desperation (Part 3)

Fang Zhiqiang was disheartened and prepared to go home, but he realized that he only had four dollars in total, which was not enough to take the subway home. After thinking about it, he looked at the time again, and went straight in.

I got to the subway station, then took out my mobile phone and called Lao Bi.

More than twenty minutes later, Fang Zhiqiang arrived downstairs at Lao Bi's company, and Lao Bi was standing downstairs waiting for him.

What's wrong? Is there anything important? Lao Bi asked with concern.

Have you eaten?

Eat, what, you want to treat me to dinner? Lao Bi said happily.

After you eat, come and have another meal with me. See which restaurant around you has good food. Let’s find a place to eat. Fang Zhiqiang nodded and said.

Let’s go to that Sichuan restaurant. That Sichuan restaurant tastes very good, and it’s food from your hometown. Let’s go there to eat. It’s just a little expensive. Did you bring so much money?

Don't worry, just eat, money is not a problem. Fang Zhiqiang said proudly, and then went directly to the store with Fang Zhiqiang.

Lao Bi was very polite and only ordered four or five dishes. He thought that Fang Zhiqiang was rich and wanted to treat him to a good meal, so he was very happy.

By the way, Qiangzi, you didn’t come to me just to treat me to a meal today, right? What do you want from me? I have to go to work later, so tell me something. Lao Bi happily ate

Asked Fang Zhiqiang.

It’s nothing. The main reason is that I haven’t seen you for a while and I wanted to come see you and have a chat. Secondly, I only have four dollars in total. These four dollars can’t get me home by subway. I don’t think so.

I can only come to you, so I came to find you. Please give me a few dollars later so I can take the subway home. Besides, I haven’t eaten in the morning, so I stopped by your place for a meal. Fang Zhiqiang aside

He ate while answering.

Lao Bi's eyes widened, and after a while he pointed to the dishes on the table and said: "You mean you're not treating me to this meal, but I'm treating you, right?"

That's right, I don't have a penny on me. How can I treat you? If you didn't treat me to dinner, why would I take a car to come to you? Fang Zhiqiang said seriously.

Fang Zhiqiang, you lied to me. If you had known I was the one paying, how could I have ordered so much? You are a big liar. Lao Bi was angry.

When did I lie to you? I never said I wanted to treat you from the beginning to the end.

Qiangzi, didn't you work two jobs, and didn't you get such a high salary from serving that rich woman? How did you end up penniless? Lao Bi couldn't understand.

If you say again that I serve a rich woman, do you believe that I will break off our relationship with you?

Dede, I didn’t say anything, what on earth is going on with you? Lao Bi quickly admitted defeat.

What else could happen? I was fired by the courier company, and then I was fired from my cheap dad’s job, so now I’m unemployed. All the money I had before was paid off, and the little money I had was either lost to the courier company.

Or spend it yourself.

I just spent the last four dollars on the way to your place from the job fair, so my pocket is cleaner than my face now. Waiter, bring some more food. I need to eat more. I can’t finish this meal.

I know when the next meal will be available. Fang Zhiqiang asked the waiter to add more rice as he spoke.

Brother, is it so miserable? Lao Bi's eyes widened.

It's worse than you imagine. Fortunately, I still have a brother like you, otherwise I would have taken a bowl and slept in the underground passage.

According to what you said, you are now unemployed again?

Yes, I am unemployed, but don’t use this word to make it sound like I am often unemployed.

You just talked about the job fair. Have you gone to find a job?

I lost more than ten yuan in subway fares from time to time. Do you think I found it?

Lao Bi looked at Fang Zhiqiang, and after a while he said with some seriousness: Qiangzi, the competition pressure here is too great now, and the economic environment is far worse than in the past years, so there are fewer recruitment positions, but the number of college students graduating every year is indeed getting higher and higher.

We came here more and more, and Liu Yan and I found jobs thanks to coming here as soon as we left college. If it were now, we would probably have to sweep the streets.

Well, you have no work experience, and what we studied is not a mainstream major, so it is difficult to find a job. Qiangzi, if you really can’t do it, just go home. If you go home, your family will always be familiar with the locals, no matter what.

If you can find a job, no matter how high the salary is, you can always support yourself, right?

How do I go back? How do I repay the debt of more than 500,000 yuan when I go back? Fang Zhiqiang asked rhetorically.

Listening to Ye Lingtian's words, Lao Bi looked like he was hesitating to speak. Finally he couldn't help but said to Fang Zhiqiang: Brother, I don't mean to hurt you because I am a brother. It is because I am a brother that I have to say this to you. You say

Why are you holding on? Nie Qian, you have also found it, and the results have been achieved. You have also seen that she is rich now and follows rich people. Why do you still help her bear the debt of more than 500,000?

It would be fine if your shoulders were broad enough to hold it up, but your shoulders are not that wide. You can't hold it up. Why do you have to hold on here? You can't even afford to eat now and you still want to play the role of a literary youth.

Why do you have to pay off a debt of more than 500,000 yuan for a woman who dumped you? You don't feel bad about yourself, but I feel bad when I see you like this.

Fang Zhiqiang shook his head, lit a cigarette, took a few puffs and said: Lao Bi, everyone has his own principles in life. If a person lives without principles, what's the point of living?

Okay, don't worry about me, buddy. We are ambitious young people who have grown up hard to realize the four modernizations of the motherland. We can't starve to death in this wave of capitalism, right? Okay, you go to work, give it to me.

What? Looking at Fang Zhiqiang's stretched out hand, Bi Luochun didn't know what he was going to do.

What do you mean? Give me ten yuan and I'll take the subway back. You won't let me walk back, right?

Your uncle, do I owe you or something, and you are so aggressive in asking for money. Bi Luochun felt very aggrieved and took out a one hundred note from his bag and handed it to Fang Zhiqiang.

Fang Zhiqiang had just got on the subway home, and then his phone rang again. Ye Lingtian took out his phone and looked at it. It was an unfamiliar number.

Hello, hello!

Hello, is this Mr. Fang Zhiqiang? A girl's voice came from the other side. It sounded very nice.

Yes, I am, I am, are you?

This is Sammy International Department Store Co., Ltd. Congratulations, you have been admitted to our company. I am here to inform you to come to work tomorrow.

Sammy International Department Store? Work? Fang Zhiqiang couldn't help but mutter. In his memory, he didn't seem to have applied for a company like this today? He had no impression at all.

Yes, are you Mr. Fang Zhiqiang? The person on the other side obviously heard Fang Zhiqiang’s voice and asked directly.

Yes, my name is Fang Zhiqiang.

Is this your mobile phone number?

yes!

That's right. Please be sure to report to the Human Resources Department of Sammy International Department Store Dongfeng Store before nine o'clock tomorrow morning. The address is No. 145 Dongfeng Road. If you have any other questions, you can call this number. This is the number of our Human Resources Department. Goodbye

After confirming Fang Zhiqiang’s identity, the person on the other end said what he should say and hung up the phone.

What the hell is this, when did I apply for such a company and I didn’t even know it? Forget it, who cares, am I still qualified to choose others now? It’s already good if I’m in the class. Fang Zhiqiang looked at his phone

He said to himself in disbelief.

In fact, this so-called Sammi International is not unfamiliar to Fang Zhiqiang, and every Shanghainese is familiar with it. This is one of the largest department stores in Shanghai. Fang Zhiqiang knows that there is one in Sammi International Department Store in Shanghai.

There are three, and this so-called Dongfeng store is one of them.

Fang Zhiqiang fell asleep after returning home. He got up too early this morning and was really sleepy. Fang Zhiqiang slept until about six o'clock in the afternoon, and was awakened by a knock on the door.

Fang Zhiqiang opened the door sleepily and was shocked to find Li Xiaoxiao standing at the door.

As soon as Li Xiaoxiao saw Fang Zhiqiang, she screamed, turned around with a blush on her pretty face, and shouted: Why aren't you wearing pants!

Fang Zhiqiang looked down sleepily and realized that he had no clothes on and was only wearing a pair of briefs.

Sorry, sorry, I just got up. Fang Zhiqiang was also startled and said quickly, then closed the door and ran to the bed to get dressed. His sleeping habit is to take off his clothes and wear only a pair of underwear to sleep. Most boys are like this.

I was sleeping. I just slept in a daze today. When I heard someone knocking on the door, I walked over in a daze, forgetting that I was not wearing any clothes.

Fang Zhiqiang quickly put on his clothes, went over to open the door with a blush on his old face, and said to Li Xiaoxiao who was waiting at the door: I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I just got up and I was so confused that I forgot to put on my clothes.

You are such a person, how can you sleep without clothes, not even pajamas. Li Xiaoxiao walked in with a blushing face, complaining to Fang Zhiqiang.

Why are you here? Fang Zhiqiang asked while sitting on the bed. He has not quite recovered yet.

What's wrong? You can't come over. I'll come over and let you treat me to dinner!

I invite you to dinner? Why? Why?

Do you still need a reason to invite a beautiful woman to dinner?

Aren't you talking nonsense? No one's money comes from strong winds. There must be a reason for you to ask me to treat you to dinner, right? Besides, what's wrong with beautiful women? Beautiful women can't be eaten. Fang Zhiqiang said angrily

.

You really have no grace, you are a stingy guy. I don’t care, I am here anyway, you want to treat me to dinner today anyway. Li Xiaoxiao was very angry.

reason?

No reason.

Then I won't invite you.

If you didn't invite me, I would.

What's it called?

Called rape!

I won't ask you if you yell at me.

reason?

Because I have no money. How can I treat you to dinner if you don’t have money?

You don't even have money for food?

No, I have nothing but my own weight of more than 100 kilograms now. If you want me to treat you to a meal, you can look at what is valuable about me and see if I can treat you to a meal if I sell it.

Just watch and take the knife.
