It’s 11:30 noon, lunch time at Kunlun headquarters.
The restaurant on the tenth floor was overcrowded, and there were long queues in front of the seven or eight dining windows.
Disciples who are familiar with each other talk to each other, hug each other, laugh and play.
The atmosphere is rare and relaxing.
I followed Liutang here and watched this scene from a distance. I couldn't help but think of my former campus life.
At that time, for every meal, I would meet up with Meng Fanhou and a few other buddies to have dinner in the lobby on the first floor.
The same slapstick and playful smiles.
Smile heartlessly and live carefree.
Now, they are all admitted to college and are about to enter a new starting point in their lives.
And I, the one with the best academic performance, quit...
Thinking of this, I felt inexplicably depressed.
It was the regret and loss that came from the bottom of my heart and could not be dissipated for a long time.
"Hey, why are you so stunned? Hurry up and get in line." Liutang urged me: "I'll have lunch in half an hour. I have to go to the department to order lunch on time at 1pm."
With that said, this guy pushed me to the third window.
"Hehe, this is what I look forward to most every day." Liu Tang put his hands on my shoulders and said, "The food at our headquarters is very good, with two meats, three vegetables, and a soup. If there is not enough, we will add more. There is also fruit after the meal."
"Do you want money?" I asked, touching the identity token in my pocket.
I wonder if this thing has the same function as a school meal card, and I need to add money to it.
"No, free meal." Liu Tang shook his head and said, "The hall will be closed at five o'clock, and the disciples on duty will come up for dinner at six o'clock. There will be supper at twelve o'clock at night."
"Oh, by the way, if you can get up early in the morning, you can come here for breakfast."
"Steamed buns, meat buns, pot stickers, porridge, everything is available and all are free."
Liu Tang showed a satisfied look and said: "For a poor person like me, except for dinner, the other two meals are eaten in the canteen. I can save whatever I can."
I turned around and said, "The basic salary is four thousand yuan a month, including food and accommodation. Where did you spend your money?"
"Don't say too much, it's no problem to save two thousand yuan."
"If you are stingy, you might be able to save three thousand." I said seriously.
Liu Tang slapped me on the head and said angrily: "A well-fed man doesn't know how hungry a man is. Why don't you use money here?"
"Shampoo, toothpaste, shower gel, shoes, socks, everything fell from the sky?"
"Besides, for a smoker like me, a pack of cigarettes a day costs at least ten yuan a pack. This is already a very low-grade cigarette."
"If you get hungry at night, you have to go out and buy something to eat. Fried rice with eggs costs ten yuan, and some meat costs fifteen."
Liutang sighed and said, "I also want to save money, but as soon as I get my salary, I spend it all and I can't even see the hair."
I quickly made a calculation in my mind and retorted: "Do you really think I'm an idiot? Do you change your shampoo and toothpaste once a month?"
"There are work clothes at the headquarters, so you only wear your own clothes after get off work."
“If you occasionally go out, having two changes of clothes every season is completely enough.”
"I think that's how I got here in school."
"Smoking costs ten dollars a day, which is three hundred a month. You'll get five hundred for midnight snacks, and I'll give you one thousand as pocket money."
"It's only one thousand and eighty in total."
"One hundred yuan for mobile phone bills, one hundred yuan for drinks, you..."
I rolled my eyes and seemed to have some realization: "Are you dating a girlfriend?"
"What a nonsense." Liu Tang rolled his eyes and said, "With my family conditions, whether I need a car or not, and whether I need a house or not, which girl would be willing to follow me?"
