The house Na Juan lives in now is a small two-bedroom apartment, which he bought after working for many years. Although the area is only sixty or seventy square meters, it is still a home of his own.
More than 90% of the migrant workers living in Beijing live in rented houses. There are really very few migrant workers who can own their own houses.
A person like Na Juan, who is less than 30 years old and has his own house and a mobility scooter, is undoubtedly very successful in drifting to Beijing.
Even if it is only a small two-bedroom apartment of 60 to 70 square meters, it is the home that countless Beipiao dream of settling down. Even if the location is not particularly good, it is still within the urban area of Beijing.
Returning to his home with familiarity, Zhou Chen sat on the sofa and began to think about the future.
The main mission target has been found, and contact information has been added. As long as he approaches the development step by step, he believes that he can still complete the mission.
The remaining three side missions, including having children, are all things for later. The people who appear in the two side missions, Na Wei is the original biological eldest brother, Wang Ruizhi and Qin Lingling are Na Wei's company boss and boss's wife, Xie Meilan She is the wife of his sister-in-law Shen Lin and his brother Shen Lei.
He didn't remember who Lu Jie was, but it could be seen from the mission that if Lu Jie could be called the boss, he should be a rich man.
Judging from these tasks, the film and television world traveled this time is most likely a family drama, and it is most likely related to 'money'.
There was also a plot card, and Zhou Chen didn't hesitate and used it directly.
The system panel appeared in front of him, and the introduction and TV series about this film and television world were slowly played in front of his eyes.
This is an urban life TV series called "Mortal Song". The story revolves around three couples living in the capital. It tells the story of them facing their own life dilemmas, facing their hearts, and coping with the crisis of life.
After reading the synopsis of the plot, the description is quite positive.
Zhou Chen started to play the TV series, "Mortal Song". The absolute protagonists of this TV series are Na Wei and Shen Lin. The story starts from their home.
Just after watching the beginning, Zhou Chen went to cook. He didn't eat at home all year round, so there was no food at home, only fast food, instant noodles and the like.
I made two portions of instant noodles and ate them while watching.
After watching the first episode, Zhou Chen was a little surprised. It turns out that in the plot, Na Juan and Li Xiaoyue were a couple, but judging from the tasks issued by the system, the final result of this pair may not be good, and they are 100% separated.
When the plot started, Na Juan and Li Xiaoyue had been in a relationship for three years, but he traveled back in time, and today he only met Li Xiaoyue for the first time, and he hadn't gotten to know each other yet.
A lot of important information can be inferred from here. It is now 20 years, and the two have been talking for three years at the beginning of the plot, so the background of the beginning of the plot is 23 years.
Watching it at double speed, it was already around 5 a.m. in the blink of an eye, and I had finished watching the show.
After seeing the final plot, Zhou Chen's biggest emotion was one sentence, what a bunch of unlucky people, all unlucky together.
Of the three couples in the plot, the most successful one is undoubtedly Na Juan, with an annual salary of one million and a large house of 160 square meters near the capital city. However, in the plot, his experience is also Rather miserable.
Year-round high-intensity work pressure has made him anxious and suffering from panic disorder and depression.
Panic disorder and depression sound scary, but in fact, such symptoms have become more and more common in modern society, especially among young people in big cities. Once people are under too much pressure and cannot vent, they will become very serious. Diseases are prone to occur.
The three male protagonists in Mortal Song, Na Wei's mid-life crisis, unemployment, bankruptcy, betrayal, etc., are the worst in the show. In the end, it seems that they deliberately want to make amends and let their family rise again.
Na Juan is actually doing pretty well. He suffers from mental illness, but in other aspects he is doing pretty well. He is capable and material, and will not have a bad life in the future.
As for Shen Lei, he is actually very aggrieved. As a civil servant in the capital, he has a registered permanent residence in the capital, and he has already stood on the top of many people's heads. He should have had a bright future, but in the end, because of a vain woman, he was He gave up his future and became a savage, and finally went to teach in the mountains.
To be honest, given the employment situation in the country, civil servants in the central government agencies in Beijing are definitely considered golden rice bowls. As a result, such a job is actually despised.
Xie Meilan works in a financial institution and earns a salary of 20,000 yuan a month, which is much higher than Shen Lei's salary of 8,000 yuan. But the problem is that the biggest benefit of the agency is not the salary, but other benefits, as well as hidden benefits. Absolutely It cannot be compared to a part-time worker in a financial institution.
In real society, in terms of social status, people like Xie Meilan are not as good as Shen Lei in terms of courtship. If they did not start falling in love in college, they would not have any intersection after entering society, and they would not be in the same circle at all.
For a job like Shen Lei's, don't take it too easy to find a partner. If you don't digest it internally, there will also be many girls from wealthy people from other places who will turn to you.
Graduate students from 985 universities, civil servants directly under the central government, and registered permanent residents in the capital, are definitely worth a lot of money.
Xie Meilan was only one of the factors that made Shen Lei so miserable in the end. The other factor was that he was too mentally fragile and too unable to handle the situation.
The summary is that a family of unlucky people is more miserable than the last, but it is undeniable that they have also had their shining moments, and they are still much higher than the real working-class mortals.
After watching the TV series, Zhou Chen had an even greater fondness for Li Xiaoyue.
Because of his experience and ability, he is no longer an ordinary person. What he enjoys most now is the freedom and freedom to live as he pleases. In the words of his previous wives from many worlds, he is very Buddhist and knows how to enjoy.
Li Xiaoyue's living habits are really suitable for him. The difference between them is that he has developed this state of facing life because of his many experiences, while Li Xiaoyue's values have changed because his parents died in a car accident. Changes have led to the current state of life.
There were already main quest requirements, but now that he knows that Li Xiaoyue is such an interesting person, Zhou Chen is even more motivated. It is really difficult to find a partner in life who can always accompany him to eat, drink and have fun.
Moreover, Li Xiaoyue is a woman who can provide a lot of emotional value. She also has a great sense of life and a very stable mood. Living with such a woman will definitely be very interesting and interesting.
As for other external possessions, such as money, houses, cars, etc., they are nothing to him.
There are still three years until the plot begins, so we don’t need to worry about the side missions yet. The target of the main mission, Li Xiaoyue, is now the challenge that he needs to face directly.
Knowing what kind of character Li Xiaoyue is, it is not difficult for Zhou Chen to pursue her, so he just needs to take his time.
The original financial condition is pretty good. He has a house, a car, and a deposit of more than 200,000 yuan. These start-up funds are completely enough for him.
It could almost be regarded as the job of 997's Internet technology backbone. He disliked it very much and did not want to continue to be a programmer like his original self.
But I am not in a hurry to resign. Thinking of the situation of Jun Company in the plot, even if I leave, it cannot be so simple. I must make up for what I have put in over the years. I cannot be too cheap and do not treat employees as human beings.
, a company that removes mills and kills donkeys.
It was already past five o'clock in the morning, and Zhou Chen didn't think of getting up to go to work. He directly took his mobile phone and sent a message to his immediate boss, Mr. Lu.
The content of the message is very simple. I have a sudden brain attack and a splitting headache. I haven't slept all night and can't get out of bed. I need to take leave to rest and recover. I just don't have my annual leave, so I take an annual leave.
After sending it, he ignored it, turned off the phone, threw it aside, and covered himself with a quilt to sleep.
When he woke up again and turned on his mobile phone, he found that it was already past twelve o'clock. There were more than a dozen missed calls on his mobile phone, and there were many messages on WeChat, all from his boss, Mr. Lu, in the company.
"There's something wrong."
I turned off my phone before, just to prevent being disturbed like this. Sure enough, I made so many calls and sent so many messages, and I really persevered.
Zhou Chen was not in a hurry. After getting up, he started brushing his teeth and washing his face using the new toiletries he bought yesterday.
Looking at the person in the mirror, Zhou Chen was quite satisfied. Although he was not as handsome as himself, he was tall and looked like a handsome guy.
He walked to a restaurant outside the community for lunch. After returning home, he took out his mobile phone and called Mr. Lu.
As soon as the call was connected, an angry roar came from the other side.
"Na Juan, what's the matter with you? Why did you turn off your phone? The company's policy is to be on standby 24 hours a day. I have called you more than a dozen times and sent you so many messages. Are you blind or deaf?
…”
"Crack!"
Zhou Chen didn't say anything and hung up directly.
A few seconds later, the phone rang rapidly again, and he sat there calmly. It was not until the last ringtone was about to end that he chose to answer the call.
"That Juan, are you sick..."
"Crack!"
Hang up again, call again, and still answer the call at the last second.
But this time, Zhou Chen struck first.
"If you can't speak well, I'll give up."
"That……"
The mood that had just been brewing on the other side was instantly destroyed by Zhou Chen. After a long silence, the voice sounded again.
"Na Juan, what's wrong with you? I've called you so many times, but I haven't answered any of them. Do you know that just because you didn't come to work today, the company has been in so much trouble? The system has crashed several times due to bugs, everywhere.
I can’t even find you, do you still want to do it?”
"I'm not feeling well, even if I ask for leave. Will the company go bankrupt without me? Mr. Lu, don't talk so much. I have a headache now. I haven't had a day off for more than a month.
I work overtime every day and often sleep at the company. The high-intensity work has given me an unbearable headache. I will go to the doctor for a checkup soon."
Mr. Lu, who was opposite him, obviously had his breath stagnant. After a long while, he asked: "It's so serious. Then go and see it quickly. I'll give you leave. Annual leave, right? Take a week's rest first to take good care of your body and recover."
Come back to work after that, the company can't do without you."
"Thank you very much, Mr. Lu. I won't say anything anymore. I'm going to take the car to the hospital for a check-up now."
Zhou Chen hung up the phone directly. From Na Juan's memory, he knew very well how the company exploited workers like them, so he didn't feel any pressure at all by making up random things in order to ask for leave.
The company treats you like a cow and horse, but you don’t need to treat the company like a master.
In order to cope, Zhou Chen actually went to a nearby hospital. With his medical skills, it was very easy to pretend to be sick. He easily got the report and certificate recommending recovery and rest from the doctor.
After leaving the hospital, Zhou Chen did not go home. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Li Xiaoyue, whom he had just added yesterday, asking how she was doing now. After learning that she had not gone out and was resting at home, he drove directly there.
I found the location of the community where Li Xiaoyue got off the car last time.
After buying some things, Zhou Chen sent Li Xiaoyue her location, saying that he wanted to visit her at home and asked her if it was convenient.
Li Xiaoyue's reply was very fast, but it was not a message, but a video call.
When she saw from the video that Zhou Chen was indeed near the rental community where she lived, she told Zhou Chen her specific address and asked Zhou Chen to find her.
Li Xiaoyue lives in an older community, and the environment is not very good. If there is anything good about it, it is that it is relatively close to the subway entrance and it is easy to take the subway.
Zhou Chen found the door of Li Xiaoyue's rental house according to the address she told her, and knocked gently.
After a while, footsteps were heard from inside the house, and then Li Xiaoyue's alert voice came.
"Who?"
"It's me, Na Juan."
Li Xiaoyue then opened the door and saw what Zhou Chen was holding.
"Didn't I tell you that you don't need to buy me anything? Yesterday you bought me medicine and helped me bandage it. You already thanked me, so you don't need to make a special trip."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "I feel really bad for not coming to see you. I bought these from outside the community. They are not expensive things, just fruits and snacks."
"Come in."
Li Xiaoyue let Zhou Chen in, but did not close the door, and sat down with Zhou Chen on the sofa nearby.
After Zhou Chen sat down, he put the things on the coffee table. He didn't look around, but he could already see the environment here with just a few glances when he came in.
"This is a house I share with others. Thank you for coming to see me. But I really have nothing to do now and I can go to work normally tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it." Li Xiaoyue said openly.
.
Zhou Chen said: "I feel relieved to see that you are fine. By the way, have you changed the medicine and gauze for your wound?"
Li Xiaoyue took a look at the wound, which was still bandaged yesterday.
"Not yet, I'm going to change the dressing later."
"It's inconvenient for you to change the dressing and bandage yourself. I just happened to be here, so you might as well let me help you."
"It's too much trouble."
"No trouble, I'll change the medicine. It'll be quick. Where are the medicine and gauze?"
"It's in my room. Sit down and I'll get it myself."
Li Xiaoyue walked into her room and took out the medicine and gauze.
"Is your leg okay?"
"Oh, it's okay. I just sprained a bit yesterday, but I don't feel it anymore today."
"That's good, please clean up your sleeves and I'll help you change your dressing."
Zhou Chen took out the iodophor, cotton swabs, medicine and gauze and placed them one by one on the coffee table.
Li Xiaoyue kept looking at Zhou Chen, gently rolled up her long sleeves, and put her arms in front of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen carefully removed the gauze for her, and when he finally pulled at the wound, Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but scream in pain, but she quickly held it back.
"I'll help you clean and wipe it again first, and then put on the medicine. It may hurt a little, so bear with it."
"Well, okay, thank you."
Li Xiaoyue looked at Zhou Chen, who was carefully treating her wounds. The serious expression and profile suddenly made her heart tremble.
A few minutes later, Zhou Chen wiped and rinsed her, applied medicine, and after a while, bandaged her again.
"I took a look and found that the wound is fine and there is no suppuration. If treated in time, most of it will recover in four to five days, and there will be no scars after it heals."
"Thank you, then."
"Na Juan."
Li Xiaoyue suddenly laughed: "I saw your WeChat name, and your last name is the one we usually talk about, right? To be honest, this last name is really rare."
Zhou Chen also smiled and said: "It's really rare. Anyway, I've lived for almost thirty years. Apart from people in our family, I really haven't met many people with the same surname as me."
"Your name is very distinctive and easy for people to remember. Unlike my name, Li Xiaoyue, which is like a bad street. If you shout this name outside, I estimate that several people will turn around at the same time, haha."
Li Xiaoyue said it to herself, making herself laugh.
