The film and television city starts from the courtyard

Zhao Shucheng naturally couldn't explain so much to Yan Ruyu, so he simply asked, "By the way, Xiaoyan, why did you ask me to come here..."

Yan Ruyu quickly said, "I'm here to pay back the money. This is the money for our hotel stay."

"Why are you in such a hurry to return it to me? Didn't you say you didn't have much money? You can use it first. I'm not in a hurry."

"That's not appropriate. Besides, we've already found a house, and it's very cheap."

After hearing this, Zhao Shucheng pretended to be curious and asked, "Oh, you found a suitable house so quickly, and it's very cheap. I want to know how cheap it is?"

Yan Ruyu smiled and said, "Brother Zhao, you would never have thought that a three-bedroom house only costs 1,200 yuan a month. It's so cheap that you can't even imagine it."

Zhao Shucheng nodded and said, "It is indeed very cheap. I want to rent out my own house and live in a house like this. But if it is so cheap, the house cannot be in the suburbs, right? Then the daily commuting time will be quite a lot, and the round-trip fare is not cheap either."

"No, it's in Central, and it's not far from here."

Zhao Shucheng was a little surprised after hearing this and said, "Really? That's really good. You really have found a conscientious landlord. If it were me, I would definitely not offer such a cheap price for such a good location and house. Anything less than two thousand is out of the question, and even three thousand is not impossible."

"That's too expensive. How can we, who have just graduated, afford it?"

"You just graduated from college and don't know the situation yet. A three-bedroom apartment like this is not for ordinary workers to rent. It's either shared by white-collar workers or rented by a family. Naturally, there's no need to worry about such a high rent."

Yan Ruyu sighed and said, "Is that so? Then our current landlord is really very good. Unfortunately, I haven't found a job yet. Having a house like this is already pretty good."

Zhao Shucheng asked, "Xiao Yan, I'm a little curious. It's been so long since you graduated, why haven't you found a job yet? Are there no suitable companies at your school's job fair?"

Yan Ruyu said: "No, I majored in history in college, and there are no positions that require people with related majors, so now I am worried about finding a job."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "You guys are still too young. You don't have to look for a job in your major. You can find a job first, and then slowly look for a suitable position. This is called looking for a horse while riding a donkey in the workplace."

"I know that, but..." Yan Ruyu sighed and said, "Brother Zhao, I haven't asked you what your job is yet? I see you drive a Mercedes, so you must be a big boss, right?"

Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "I'm not a big boss. I'm in the investment industry and I usually just understand the situation of some companies."

"I really envy you talented people. Now I can only send my resume everywhere to see if I can find a suitable job."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and didn't respond. After all, if he took the initiative to invite Yan Ruyu to the company, she would definitely take advantage of it to climb up. On the contrary, if she had experienced some setbacks, she would cherish the opportunity given by Zhao Shucheng even more.

Especially after answering a phone call, Zhao Shucheng said to Yan Ruyu: "Is that so? Then I won't waste your time. If you need any help, you can come to me. We can talk again when we have a chance."

At the same time, Qiu Shi was also worried because he fell in love with Sura at first sight, but he couldn't find Sura. He called his good friend Zhao Lei, wanting to find Sura, but Zhao Lei didn't know either, so he could only follow Zhao Lei's advice and go to the subway station every day to wait for Sura to appear.

He actually knew that this method was unreliable, but he had no better way, so he could only give it a try.

From that day on, there was a person hanging around in the subway stations in Shanghai all day long, and he was almost caught as a thief or a suspect.

Sura didn't know that someone was waiting for her at the subway station. She and Yan Ruyu had solved the accommodation problem and were now busy running around looking for a job every day.

Sura didn't know how she woke up, but she had to find a job that matched her history major. However, there were very few jobs in Shanghai that required history majors, and it was too late for her to look for a job, so now she could only run into obstacles everywhere.

Yan Ruyu at least listened to Zhao Shucheng's advice and did not insist on finding a job that matched her major. She hoped to find a job and then seek a better position. However, she was still a little greedy and did not want to work in low-paying positions, and was even unwilling to be down-to-earth.

She didn't know if it was because Shen Xiaofang's help in finding a house had exhausted her luck, but she fell asleep on the bus because she was too tired from working so hard to find a job. She didn't expect that her wallet was stolen.

She was already in a bad mood, but she didn't expect that after returning home, Chen Yaqi's unintentional word "Axiang" would break her defense. She packed her luggage and prepared to return to her hometown.

Seeing Yan Ruyu like this, Sura asked, "Yanyan, what are you doing?"

"What a lousy Magic City! I don't want to stay here any longer. I want to go back to Hunan. Don't you know how many rich men in my hometown are waiting in line to marry me and give me a good life? Why did I run all the way to Magic City to suffer here? I've been running from morning to night for a whole month. My legs have become thicker and my feet are covered with calluses. I'm also called a country bumpkin. Why am I like this?"

Sura said, "How do you know that the situation will get better if you go back? Why not stay in the Magic City and fight for it? Maybe the situation will get better."

"What can I fight with? Just the two hundred yuan in my pocket? Sura, don't hold on any longer. Just go back to Guizhou. Do you think there is a TV station in your hometown that has been waiting for you to report? Besides, there is nothing to miss about Yin Shan. Even if you didn't break up, there would be no happiness. Besides, are you still waiting for him to come back?"

"I didn't mean to wait for him at all. I just felt it was too unfair. Everyone is equal in school, but once you leave school, the difference between locals and outsiders is immediately apparent. We are obviously no worse than others, so why should we endure other people's looks? Why can't we have our own sky?"

Yan Ruyu said: "Why? Because we are Ah Xiang, because we have no connections and no money!"

The next day.

Shen Xiaofang told Sura and Yan Ruyu with some embarrassment that a month's time was up and they needed to pay the rent.

Su La said in surprise: "It's already been a month so soon?" Yan Ruyu said: "Xiao Fang, you know that my wallet was just lost, and Su La doesn't have much money. Can you ask Yaqi to tell his friends that we can pay the rent to him as soon as we find a job?"

"I'll try, but the hope is not great!"

Shen Xiaofang was also in a dilemma, because she insisted on dating Chen Yaqi, and her parents had stopped her credit card, so now she was penniless. If Sura and the others paid the rent, she would still have money to spend, but if they didn't pay the rent, she would not be able to eat.

Sura said in embarrassment: "How about I go and borrow some!"

Yan Ruyu said, "Go find your vicious uncle again? I won't go. Have you forgotten what he said last time? He said it would only happen this time!"

Seeing that both of them were in such a dilemma, Shen Xiaofang said, "Well, let me give it to you as a cushion, and when you find a job, you can return it to me!"

At this moment, Shen Xiaofang could only be thankful that this house was bought for her by her parents, so she didn't have to pay rent to the landlord, otherwise the three of them would definitely be kicked out.

Yan Ruyu saw Shen Xiaofang's dilemma, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Forget it, I'll go find someone to borrow it!"

Su La and Shen Xiaofang looked at Yan Ruyu strangely and said, "Who are you going to borrow money from? Do you have any relatives in Shanghai?"

Yan Ruyu shook her head and said, "I know a friend who has money, but we have only known each other for a short time, so I can only give it a try."

Zhao Shucheng felt a little strange after receiving Yan Ruyu's call. After all, she hadn't contacted him much in the past month. Why did she suddenly call him? Did something happen to her?

After the two met, Zhao Shucheng saw Yan Ruyu looking at him with some embarrassment, and she seemed to want to say something but stopped herself several times.

"What's wrong? Are you having any trouble? Just tell me. We are friends, and I will definitely help you if I can."

"Brother Zhao, can you lend me some money? Not too much, two thousand will do."

Zhao Shucheng asked in surprise, "Why did you suddenly ask for money? Did you encounter any difficulties? Is two thousand enough?"

"That's enough. We need to pay the rent, but I haven't been able to find a job. My wallet was stolen, so now I have no money to pay the rent. I don't know many people in Shanghai, so after thinking about it, I can only ask you for help."

Seeing Yan Ruyu's awkward expression, Zhao Shucheng couldn't help but smile and said, "Hey, I don't think it's a big deal. It's just a little money. No problem. But to be honest, your landlord is really tolerant of you. Generally, you have to pay one third of the deposit when renting a house. He must have a good relationship with you if he can let you default on the payment."

"No, it's the house of a good friend of our classmate Xiaofang's boyfriend, so we can move in first and pay the rent later."

Zhao Shucheng did not expose that the house belonged to Shen Xiaofang. Instead, he said, "It's okay to lend you the money, and you don't have to pay me back in a hurry, but I still want to remind you to find a job as soon as possible. Even if the salary is not high, at least you can satisfy your own food and drink and rent a house, and then consider other problems. It's better to retreat and make a net, and it's better to look for a horse while riding a donkey than to starve to death."

"I understand, Brother Zhao!"

Zhao Shucheng brought Yan Ruyu to the bank and withdrew 10,000 yuan directly.

Yan Ruyu suddenly became nervous after seeing this and said, "Brother Zhao, you don't need so much. I'll just lend you two thousand."

Zhao Shucheng smiled and shook his head, saying, "I know what you're thinking, but I think since you're borrowing money, you might as well borrow more at once. You see, the house for this month and next month costs 2,400, but can you guarantee that you'll find a job right away and get paid? If you can't guarantee that, you might as well just borrow more from me, and then pay the rent for a few more months, so you can find a job at your leisure. Anyway, you know I'm not short of money, and I'm not in a hurry to use the money, so just pay me back whenever it's convenient for you."

Yan Ruyu hesitated for a while, but finally agreed to borrow 5,000 yuan from Zhao Shucheng. Because she didn't know if she could find a high-paying job right away, and she didn't know when she would really get paid. But she knew very well that she didn't want to be kicked out, and she didn't want to experience the plight of living on the streets again, so she might as well pay the rent first so that she could have a place to stay.

Sura didn't expect that Yan Ruyu would bring back 5,000 yuan directly after going out, which was enough to cover four months' rent.

"Yanyan, where did you get so much money? You are not..."

"This is something my friend lent me, Xiaofang. I just learned that renting a house usually requires a deposit of one third of the rent. This is our rent. You can ask Yaqi to give it to his friend. But we don't have much money right now, so we can only pay him the rent for next month after we find a job."

Shen Xiaofang was also very curious about how Yan Ruyu got so much money, and said with some concern: "Yan Yan, you won't do anything bad, right? Actually, you don't have to worry about the rent. I can advance it for you."

"What are you thinking? It's really my friend who lent it to me. Besides, if I really can't do anything good, would I continue to live here?"

Shen Xiaofang thought about it and felt that what Yan Ruyu said was right. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Then I'll keep the rent first. However, the rent for this house is 1,200 yuan, and we will share it equally among the three of us. Because Yanyan's rent is exactly four months' rent, even if it is a one-month deposit and three-month payment, I will pay the rent for next month, and you don't have to worry about the rent. Yanyan doesn't have to pay the rent for a year."

Before Yan Ruyu said anything, Sura blushed. Now it seemed that she was the one who did not pay the rent.

By chance, Yan Ruyu happened to come across a health dance competition when she was walking on the street. Seeing that the champion could get a high prize, she signed up to participate with a try-it attitude.

Because of the financial incentive and the unique youthfulness of college students, Yan Ruyu finally won the championship and found a job as a fitness trainer in a fitness center. Of course, she didn't really want to be a fitness trainer, but she knew that only people with money and free time would go to the gym, so she hoped to catch a rich husband while working.

When she told Sura and Shen Xiaofang the news, their excitement turned into disappointment.

Yan Ruyu naturally knew why they were like this, and said: "Why, isn't the job of a fitness coach good? Instead of waiting to starve to death at home, why not go out and make a living on your own? What's more, what my friend said makes a lot of sense, it's better to retreat and weave a net than to envy the fish by the abyss. There's nothing wrong with riding a donkey and looking for a horse. On the contrary, there are many big bosses and white-collar workers at the fitness center. Maybe I can find a better job with their help?" (End of this chapter)
