Chapter 23 Economic Crisis

Hu Biao struggled to open his eyes amid a series of alarm bells ringing "ding bell, ding bell~".

Because of all the troubles after returning from the mission last night, it was already past 3 o'clock in the middle of the night when Hu Biao actually lay on the bed and fell asleep.

But at 6 o'clock after just over two hours of sleep, Hu Biao had to wake up again with the alarm clock he had set deliberately.

Even if he feels very sleepy now, if possible, it is best to sleep until after 12 noon before getting up; or, in other words, getting up early in the morning can be discussed tomorrow.

But when he thought of his current difficult economic situation, the hard-working worker had to force himself to get up.

Although speaking of it, he is one of the awesome people selected by the system. As long as he doesn't die in the mission later, he will definitely be able to prosper.

But in those turbulent lives, at least one month later, the next task of the system was completed.

So what is before him now is an extremely cruel reality:

He rummaged through all the pockets and drawers in his room and found 11 yuan in change, including some one yuan and fifty cent coins.

So the question becomes, how can we use these 11 pieces of property to survive until the mission starts in a month?

After much deliberation, Hu Biao decided to check out the company where he had worked for almost two years today; maybe he could keep his job by saying a few nice words to his immediate boss.

Such a change in attitude was a change that occurred when Hu Biao lost you without even noticing it.

It was the former Hu Biao who would never go to his boss to admit his mistakes for the sake of saving face, even if he lost his job because of it.

After a difficult mission, Hu Biao’s reaction now is:

Life! When you should bow your head, bow your head. It’s not a shame to be humble sometimes for the sake of life.

It would be even better if you can ask your boss for approval to borrow half of your salary; in this way, you can completely sustain yourself until the next task.

Then you don’t have to worry about running out of money.

If the mission is really completed, the loot will definitely make your wallet bulge; whether it's liang or face, others will naturally give it to you.

And if you really fail to complete the task and your life is at risk, I believe you won’t have to worry about money...

Logically speaking, even if he has to rush to the company to work, Hu Biao still has plenty of time if he wakes up at 7 o'clock.

But who is Hu Biao? He owes the landlord almost two months' rent. Does he know that the old landlord often gets up early in the morning and walks around?

Wouldn't it be embarrassing if someone really blocked me from asking for rent and I couldn't pay it out?

With this idea in mind, before going to bed yesterday, Hu Biao made plans to get up early in the morning and go out, and also set the alarm clock.

Then try to survive a month first, and everything will depend on the results of the next mission.

It has to be said that Hu Biao's plan is not very good, nor does it have any major flaws.

But the moment he got up, he discovered that almost every part of his body was sore if he moved even a little bit, as if he had been trampled by an elephant.

It was still an adult elephant that had been trampled repeatedly.

Regarding this point, Hu Biao can figure out what is going on after just a little thought.

It's just that during the mission last night, I moved a little too vigorously. As a result, my small body, which had not exercised for a long time, was a little unable to withstand it after a short rest.

The current soreness in my body is nothing more than a common symptom of muscle strain.

When they returned, the system not only resurrected the netizens who died in the battle, but also treated the injuries of the wounded; however, the sequelae of this kind of muscle strain were completely ignored.

Fortunately, this kind of minor sequelae is not a big problem and can be relieved in a few days.

So, Hu Biao put on a set of relatively clean clothes while shouting "Ouch~" in his mouth.

Just think about this:

Among the netizens who participated in the task last night, except for a few, those greasy uncles and fat nerds, all of them seemed to have done less exercise than me.

So their situation today shouldn't be much better than mine, right?

As soon as he thought of this, Hu Biao's mood immediately relaxed a lot, and even the pain in his body became much more obvious.

Finally, he secretly poked his head out at the door, and was delighted to find that the old landlord was not wandering in the corridor on the first floor. Hu Biao hurriedly slipped out of this 9-story building without an elevator.

Old Handshake Building.

I don’t know whether Hu Biao’s luck is good or bad.

Because his back disappeared, the old landlord who lived on the first floor opened the door and walked out of the room where he lived, which allowed Hu Biao to temporarily escape the disaster.

But because of this, he also made some mistakes. For example, on the radio in the hands of the old landlord, a piece of morning news was playing:

According to the latest news released by relevant departments in Yangcheng, three young men died of myocardial infarction in a park last night due to severe excessive drinking and long-term irregular lifestyle.

It is reported that the three are unemployed and have been engaged in illegal vehicle modification and drag racing for a long time.

Among them, the oldest is 22 years old, and the youngest is only 17 years and 9 months old. Relevant departments remind: There are thousands of roads, safety is the first priority, life is not standardized, and relatives shed tears...

*****

At 7:58 in the morning, when he was about to be late in two minutes, Hu Biao drank the last bite of steamed bun in his mouth.

After wiping my mouth, I walked into the workplace where I worked, a small company called Maocheng Yinhui Decoration.

By the way! Hu Biao actually didn't have to rush to the company so late. There was a bus stop 3 minutes' walk from the rental house where he lived, and there was a bus that went directly to the entrance of the company.

The No. 8 public bus costs 2 yuan, and the stop-and-go journey only takes about 20 minutes.

But the problem was that when Hu Biao walked out of the door, he realized that he was very hungry. It seemed that the 3 packs of instant noodles he had eaten in the middle of the night, as well as a lot of ham sausage and mustard, were all digested so quickly.

Thinking that it might be because he had been hungry for too long, Hu Biao bought a meat bun for 5 yuan from a roadside shop.

Normally, Hu Biao would be able to fill his stomach with at most two buns, but today he was extremely hungry.

Unexpectedly, Hu Biao wiped out the 5-yuan meat buns in more than a minute before he even reached the bus stop.

Basically, a meat bun can be easily finished in two or three bites.

After finishing his usual two or more breakfasts, Hu Biao felt that his stomach was not half full, but rather as if he had an appetite. He was even more hungry due to the temptation of the aroma of flour and meat fillings.

After hesitating for half a minute, Hu Biao made a wise decision: use the remaining money to buy more affordable steamed buns, no matter what, he must calm his rebellious belly.

As for the way to the company, just walk there.

In this way, Hu Biao went to the vegetable market halfway and found a "Northern Steamed Bun Shop".

In his memory, this steamed bun shop mainly sells steamed buns as a staple food to northerners working in Maocheng. They only cost one yuan each, but the portion can hold at least three meat buns.

In the end, when Hu Biao walked to the door of the company, all six big steamed buns were wiped out.

After eating 6 large steamed buns, Hu Biao was still not full.

The only thing that made him happy was that after walking and warming up all the way, the numbness and discomfort in his body had been greatly alleviated, and it didn't take the expected few days at all.

Combined with his sudden increase in food intake, Hu Biao vaguely felt that this was the sequelae of the 'sub-Wolverine residual blood vessel'.

Analyzing it based on Niu Dashen’s ‘conservation of energy’ theory, it should be that with a stronger body’s resilience, of course it needs more food as energy to replenish it!

This means that my recovery ability will be greatly enhanced in the future.

But considering my current poor economic conditions, I really can’t say whether this bloodline ability is a good thing or a bad thing for me...

Almost half an hour later, Hu Biao walked out of the company expressionlessly.

In a box held in his arms, there were personal belongings that he had left in the company: two cactus placed in front of the computer screen, which are said to be able to protect against radiation.

Just such a shape can illustrate a key issue:

Yes, that's right! Hu Biao didn't keep his job, let alone get half a month's salary advance from the finance department.

Even during the financial settlement at the time of dismissal, after receiving a call from her boss, Alian, the female financial accountant of Dalang, began to deduct a little bit here and there. After deducting a little bit here and there, Hu Biao only got 213 yuan in the end.

For example, other N plus 1 dismissal compensation, but I didn't get a penny.

Moreover, Alian also conveyed the boss’s harsh words:

My relationship in Maocheng is very tough. If you are not convinced, go to the relevant department and file a lawsuit. If you can win the lawsuit, it means I have no ability.

Before it was changed, Hu Biao would definitely sue.

But after what happened last night, Hu Biao calmly took his personal belongings and left under the surprised look in the eyes of the female financial accountant.

The reality is so cruel. If you say harsh words, argue, or make trouble, it is just incompetent rage.

As long as Hu Biao is not dead in a month, he will naturally be able to make the company boss and his immediate superiors pay the corresponding price...

In the following time, Hu Biao stood silently at the door of the company, thinking about what he should do next?

Soon after, his eyes were no longer confused, and he already had a firm goal in his heart; of course, he continued to go to the "Northern Steamed Bun Shop" to buy 20 steamed buns, and then he was completely full.

So under the not-so-vicious sunshine after 8 o'clock in Maocheng, Hu Biao strode away with a cardboard box in his arms.

I don’t know if it was an illusion, but when the big wave female accountant who went to the bank saw this scene, she always felt that she didn’t recognize this person she had never seen in the past.
