Sun Jun I was completely defeated by the person in front of me. In this day and age, there are still people who haven't experienced the education of good manners.
He is definitely a rare treasure, and there are only a few people like Jin Yuan in the whole of China.
Jin Yuan Ate two bowls of noodles before feeling barely full, then let out a comfortable burp.
Sun Jun's home is very small, with only one bedroom, one living room, and one bathroom. The living room is a bit spacious, and he usually works there, sitting on the sofa, staring closely at the computer screen.
That was the first step that could influence his destiny. Sun Jun submitted the novel he wrote to many novel platform editors. If he could be signed by an editor, he would be able to make a living by writing novels in the future, and he would no longer have to look at his boss's face.
At 27, he no longer had the desire to make a fortune. When he was in school, he thought he could easily make a million in the future, but after graduation, he felt it was hard to make a penny. It seems that since graduation, his luck has become extremely bad, and he no longer has the luck to find money on the road.
Sun JunAs he read through the edited replies one by one, his expression gradually turned serious and solemn, eventually collapsing.
"Why isn't there a single one willing to sign mine!" he shouted in near desperation, startling the just-fallen-asleep Jin Yuan.
"What's wrong with you? Are you having another headache?"
"Worse than a headache!"
"What?!" Jin Yuan Rush over and check his body.
"What are you doing? Don't touch me, get away from me."
"I'm going to check your body!" Jin Yuan said with some nervousness and concern.
"My body is fine!"
Jin Yuan Doubtful, "Then why did you say it's more serious than a headache?"
"My novel was rejected by all the editors." Sun Jun Holding his head and crying in pain, breaking through an adult's psychological defense line may only require a trigger. He felt like he had no chance left.
"The novel was rejected, is it that serious? It's not like it's a matter of life and death." Jin Yuan I still don't understand why he is so heartbroken and crying.
"This is my last hope in life. I lost my job, can't go back to my hometown, what else can I do in the future—" He was very confused, even a little regretful for resigning, even though at the company he would be exploited by the boss, would see people who made him feel inferior, but it's still better than the current despair.
Jin Yuan came to his side and comforted him, saying, "Brother, if things really don't work out, you can begging with me."
"..."
"If I go begging, who will pay the rent and utilities? The rent for this month is due soon." Thinking about the rent and utilities makes him feel distressed. In City A, housing prices are very high, and the average working class can never afford to buy a house. He rents this small place with poor environment and facilities for 3000 a month. Most of his monthly salary goes to paying rent and utilities. Despite being frugal with his food expenses, he still struggles to make ends meet.
Jin Yuan thinks he makes a valid point, but still feels uncomfortable with the idea of begging.
"Dong, dong."
The knocking on the door interrupted Sun Jun, the sound of the knocking was very loud.
"Who is it?" he went to open the door.
" Sister Jiang, why are you here? Is there something wrong?"
Sister Jiang is his landlady, no education, no looks, over thirty and still not married. But she lives far better than Sun Jun. Because she is a local, this dilapidated building is all hers, she just needs to go out for a stroll every day and collect rent at the end of the month.
Wearing heavy makeup on her face, it adds to the already struggling charm. There's even a black mole on her nose.
Sun Jun When they first met, their relationship was quite good. He graduated from a prestigious university and had a halo effect. She, Yunying, was still unmarried. Just when everyone thought they were about to have a great story, Sun Jun refused.
Sister Jiang asked him why, she is a rare beauty and has money.
Sun Jun apologized, "I'm sorry, the elderly cannot be startled."
Sister Jiang was rejected by him and left crying. Since then, their relationship has been very poor, just that of a tenant and landlady.
"Next month's rent and this month's utilities should be paid, totaling 3,500 yuan," Sister Jiang said with a cigarette in her mouth, calculating the money Sun Jun needed to pay.
"Why did it increase by 500 yuan again? I didn't even use much water and electricity this month!"
"The rent has increased by five hundred," Sister Jiang exclaimed loudly. "From now on, the rent will increase by five hundred every month. This building is all like this. Love it or leave it, there are plenty of people who will rent it if you don't."
Sister Jiang is right. Although the environment here is very poor and there are flies everywhere, it is the cheapest house you can rent in City A. Moving to another place would cost at least five thousand.
But he only makes five thousand a month, can he even afford to eat anymore?!
"Sister Jiang, can you give me a few more days? I haven't received my salary this month yet! I will definitely give it to you as soon as I get paid," Sun Jun pleaded.
"No way!" Sister Jiang loudly refused him.
"If you can't afford the rent, then move out for me."
Sister Jiang's loud voice also caught the attention of Jin Yuan.
"What's going on? Who's making such a loud noise? Can you keep it down? You're going to bring the whole building down with all that noise."
"You mind your own business... my mother is still waiting for me at home!" Sister Jiang slipped away from Sun Jun like a cat, and her larger size did not affect her running speed at all.
By the time Jin Yuan came out, Sister Jiang had already disappeared. "Who was that just now?"
"Landlady, the owner of this house, has come to collect the rent." Sun Jun looked dejected. Having to pay the rent and utilities a few days early was making him very uncomfortable. When he left the company, they only gave him two thousand five, still a thousand short.
He hadn't saved any money before, so it can be said that he had reached the end of the road.
"Why did he leave?" asked curiously.
"It seems like he said his mother was waiting for him at home, so he went back first."
Sun Jun Sat on the old sofa, limbs sprawled out, looking like a dead person. "I don't want to move, don't want to do anything, just want to lie flat!" Sun Jun shouted.
"But I have nothing, no money, no job, and two elderly parents in the countryside."
After resting for a while, Sun Jun got up and opened his phone, scrolling through the contacts on WeChat. No matter how difficult life is, or how tough the days are, one must continue for the sake of survival.
Jin Yuan, on the other hand, nonchalantly turned on the TV and started watching. He learns quickly, so Sun Jun only needs to teach him a little and he knows how to operate it.
"Hey, brother Qiang, it's been a long time since we last talked."
" Jun'er, is there something you need?"
"It's like this, I just lost my job recently, can you lend me two thousand bucks..."
*Beep, beep*
"Emergency..."
"Hey, Sister Xiao Li, I've been facing some financial difficulties lately. Can you lend me two thousand yuan for an emergency?"
"Sun Jun, I'm sorry, we just paid the down payment for a house recently and don't have any extra cash on hand. I'm really sorry."
"It's okay, it's okay. I wish you both a happy life—"
"Done, can't borrow any money. We used to have good relationships, but now when I mention borrowing money, they all say they're not financially comfortable." He's completely out of options now. He can't possibly call his parents and ask for money, he has his pride, that's why he quit his job."
