Chapter 656 The male protagonist bowing his head to reality
My name is Lu Xiaoqian, male, 24 years old, one of those who was unemployed after graduation.
My dream is, well, I don’t have many dreams. To have enough to eat and drink, to have my own nest, and to have a girlfriend who loves me is all my dreams.
As for things like getting ahead and becoming a successful person, maybe I thought about it when I was dreaming, but when I woke up from the dream, I was awake, and it was not yet in the realm of daydreaming.
Carrying his shoulder bag, Lu Xiaoqian braved the scorching summer heat and walked home with his head lowered.
Today, he failed to apply for a job. Originally, he applied for a job as a copywriter at a company called Fan Real Estate, but he was dragged to the chairman's office and asked to be his secretary.
As a result, he went there, but was scolded by the man named Mr. Fan when he came back.
After asking, I found out that Fan always wanted to recruit a female secretary, the kind of female secretary who could be a secretary when she had something to do, but her wife was unwilling, so she gave up.
When he looked at the human resources department, he found a male secretary for himself. Mr. Fan was so angry that he wanted to hit him. Even Lu Xiaoqian didn't have a good face. Not to mention that he couldn't be a secretary, and even the copywriting job he wanted to apply for was not possible.
Fetching water from a bamboo basket was in vain.
"I only have 20 yuan left in my pocket. If I can't find a job, I will have to ask my family for money. I think I am a seven-foot-tall man. After graduation, I will have to ask my parents for money. How can I ask for it? But
It doesn’t matter if you don’t need money, Hua Mei even asked me to watch a movie in the evening, no matter how much you save on a trip, it’s not enough if you don’t have a hundred and eighty, right?”
The more Lu Xiaoqian thought about it, the more troubled he became, and he somewhat understood Qin Qiong's embarrassment when he sold the horse.
Qin Qiong still has horses for sale, but what does he have? Does he have any fur? He doesn't even have any fur.
Moreover, his family's family situation is not good. His father works as a doorman and his monthly salary is only 850. His mother has recently been laid off. In order to support him in college these years, he has no money left at all. How can he have any spare money to support him?
Him.
"Hey, Xiaoqian, this way, this way!"
While walking, Lu Xiaoqian suddenly heard someone calling him. He looked up and saw a Mercedes Benz parked on the side of the road. The girl sitting in the Mercedes Benz waving to him could not be his girlfriend.
"Hua Mei?"
Lu Xiaoqian was stunned for a moment. The situation in Huamei's family was even more difficult than his. Not to mention his parents were divorced, and he had a younger brother who was in high school. He didn't hear of any wealthy relatives. Why did he come here in a Mercedes-Benz today?
I was thinking to myself, and when I got closer, I saw Hua Mei with a serious expression on her face, and there was a young man smoking a cigar sitting next to her.
Lu Xiaoqian's heart skipped a beat. After they broke up after graduation, could it be that his girlfriend was dating a rich second generation and had a showdown with him?
"Xiao Qian, let me introduce to you. This is Boss Wang. He has a big business to discuss with you." When Hua Mei said this, Lu Xiaoqian felt relieved. It didn't matter what the business was, as long as his girlfriend wasn't cheating on him.
"Boss Wang, what business do you have with me?" After being reassured, Lu Xiaoqian was still confused. He lay beside the car window outside the car door and asked with a confused look on his face.
Looking at her boyfriend lying on the car door, and then at Mr. Wang sitting in the car with a calm face, for some reason, Hua Mei suddenly felt bored, why her boyfriend was not a big boss driving a Mercedes-Benz, but a
What about ordinary people who can't even find a job?
Lu Xiaoqian is helpful, honest and kind. This is the advantage that I saw in him when I first met him in college.
Looking back now, people who are willing to help others are fools, and being honest and kind can also be understood as coward. Why was I so blind at the time that I fell in love with such an incompetent person?
"Get in the car and let's go to a quiet place to talk."
Neither Wang Xu nor Lu Xiaoqian noticed the fluctuations in Hua Mei's heart, let alone a woman who stepped out of the ivory tower and changed from a carefree student to a woman who had to worry about daily necessities. In fact, she had long since lost touch with innocence.
The car starts and drives in the bustling and indifferent city. At a glance, most of the young people are in a hurry, like a screw in a machine.
The three people in the car had different ideas. Wang Xu was wondering if three million could win over Sha Niu, Hua Mei was wondering why his life was so miserable, and Lu Xiaoqian was secretly wondering what the big boss driving a Mercedes-Benz could talk to him about.
Business.
Silent all the way, Wang Xu drove to Guomao and parked the car in front of a club.
After getting off the car, Wang Xu walked towards the club, while Lu Xiaoqian and Hua Mei followed behind, asking in a low voice: "Hua Mei, what does this boss Wang want to do with me? Come to such a high-end place?"
In 2006, various clubs were not so popular. In people's minds at that time, those who could access various clubs were big bosses, and people without any spare money would not dare to enter.
"This boss Wang wants to buy something from you. What do you mean by that?"
"Silly girl?"
"Yes, that's the name. It sounds so rustic!"
Huamei smiled from ear to ear and didn't notice at all that Lu Xiaoqian's expression changed next to her.
"Silly girl, I won't sell you!"
Lu Xiaoqian's smile disappeared at all, and he took Hua Mei's hand and started to walk out: "Let's go home and watch a movie."
"Are you crazy?"
Hua Mei shook off Lu Xiaoqian's hand and asked in a louder voice than him: "Why don't you sell it? Do you know how much Boss Wang paid?"
"I don't want to sell it no matter how much you pay, silly girl, it's priceless!"
Lu Xiaoqian had just enjoyed the benefits of being a trapeze artist and was being hailed by the media as the real version of Spider-Man. How could he possibly want to sell Silly Girl?
Huamei laughed angrily, stopped in front of Lu Xiaoqian, and said: "Boss Wang offered two million, do you know how much two million is?"
"Two million?"
Lu Xiaoqian took a breath. He only had twenty yuan, two million, which was one hundred thousand times his worth.
But soon, he suppressed the throbbing in his heart and said in a low voice: "I won't sell it for two million, it's not a matter of money!"
"Well, Lu Xiaoqian, it's not about money, but the question is, do you have money?"
Hua Mei burst into tears instantly and choked up: "You promised me that you would always be good to me and raise me like a princess. Now look at me, I am not even as good as the maid next to the princess. You promised me
What about the future? If you are lucky, you will pretend to be noble, ask me out to play, buy a glass of juice and have to share it with two people, and it will be gone before I even drink it."
When his girlfriend cried like this, Lu Xiaoqian's legs that were about to leave felt like they were glued, and he couldn't lift them up at all.
Thinking of the love and affection he had spent in college for four years, and the vows of love under the moonlight before flowers, Lu Xiaoqian was like an eggplant beaten by frost, pleading: "Don't cry, I didn't say not to sell it, it's just that the price is too little, right?"
He really didn't want to sell it, but in front of his girlfriend, Lu Xiaoqian couldn't be cold-hearted and could only evade it by saying that the price was too low.
When Huamei heard this, she immediately stopped crying and asked weakly: "Is this still low?"
"Hey, this is a priceless treasure. Don't tell me it's worth five million." Lu Xiaoqian originally wanted to say it was worth five million, but when he said the words, he felt cruel and raised his voice: "Don't tell me it's worth twenty million. We can't sell it cheaply!"
"real?"
Flowering plum blossoms is like winning the lottery. Twenty million, how should I spend so much money?
A plate of my favorite fish-flavored shredded pork costs 14 yuan. Eating fish-flavored shredded pork three times a day only costs 42,20 million and lasts for 1,300 years.
Currently, the house price in Chaoyang Community is 7,800 per square meter, and a two-bedroom apartment of 90 square meters only costs 700,000, with a basement included.
If you put 20 million in Chaoyang Community, you can buy a six-story unit building. You won't be able to live in so many houses until you die.
"Why don't you come in?"
Seeing that Lu Xiaoqian and Huamei had not appeared for a long time, Wang Xu walked out of the club again.
Lu Xiaoqian took a deep breath and said proactively: "Boss Wang, we understand what you mean. Let me tell you the truth. We won't sell you silly girls!"
"No, no, no"
Huamei quickly covered Lu Xiaoqian's mouth and replied with a smile: "It's not that I won't sell it, but I can't sell it cheaply. The price you gave me is too low!"
"How many do you want?" Wang Xu said with a smile on his face, as bright as a spring breeze.
"At least 20 million!" Hua Mei said cruelly, saying what she thought was an outrageous price.
Wang Xu laughed when he heard it. It was not that the price was too high, but that it was too low.
Sure enough, if you don't know how to do it, you don't know how to do it. I'm afraid in the eyes of these people, 20 million is already an astronomical figure.
But in Wang Xu's opinion, let alone 20 million, it's 200 million, 20 billion, 2 trillion. If you can buy a silly girl, it's a bargain.
"Twenty million is impossible, the price is too high."
What is business? It’s simple and can be summed up in two words: buying and selling.
If you buy something, especially something priceless or whose price is hard to figure out, just give the other party as much as he or she wants. This will only make the other party feel that they have suffered a loss, and it will be easy for them to change their mind again.
Therefore, Wang Xu just thought about it briefly, pretended to be hesitant, and sighed: "The price is too high, beyond my acceptance range. I will give you up to 12 million. This is my final quotation. If you can
Come in and sign the contract, but if it doesn’t work, I can only regretfully announce that this business can’t be done!”
As Wang Xu spoke, he made a gesture of invitation to see Lu Xiaoqian's reaction.
When Lu Xiaoqian heard the price of 12 million, he was indeed moved for a moment, but his heartbeat was quickly replaced by reluctance.
"Lu Xiaoqian!"
Seeing that her boyfriend was unmoved and the regret on Wang Xu's face was getting thicker and thicker, Hua Mei finally couldn't wait any longer and cried and begged: "Didn't you say you wanted to give me happiness? Where is the happiness you gave me? I don't have a car.
, no house, no money, you have nothing, and I don’t care, because I know you are capable and will be able to give me all this sooner or later.
Now, the opportunity is right in front of you. Do you want me to wait any longer? I am already 24 this year. Do you want me to wait for ten years, twenty years, or a lifetime? Do you want me to wait for you?
Have you thought about our future?"
Lu Xiaoqian said nothing. He looked at his crying girlfriend and felt the wallet with less than twenty yuan. He was speechless for a long time.
Life is like this, it is a multiple-choice question, every fork in the road is a single choice, and every choice is two completely different fates.
Lu Xiaoqian was really in a dilemma. He really didn't want to sell Sha Niu, because he could feel that she was his future.
However, reality always forces us to bow our heads. On one side is the possible future, on the other side is the crying girlfriend, the laid-off mother, the father looking after the door, and the home that leaks when it rains. The future and reality
Both are placed in front of you.
"If one day you find out that letting me sell Silly Girl was the worst decision in your life, will you regret it?"
Lu Xiaoqian did not agree or refuse, but asked Hua Mei a question.
Huamei wiped her tears, looked at her boyfriend who was having a hard time making a decision, and whispered: "Ten thousand years is too long, I can't wait ten thousand years!"
"I see."
Lu Xiaoqian looked very lonely, just like those who had dreams but finally bowed to reality and family, he sighed: "I promise you, Mr. Wang."
