Chapter 18 Party
Just as Ren Zhong opened the gate to the courtyard and was about to go in to clean up, a phone call came in.

"Old Ren, are you free tonight?" A rough voice came from the phone. "It's New Year's Eve, and my brothers and I decided to get together. We made an appointment tonight at Sanjie Fresh Restaurant. I saw that you didn't make any moves in the group, so I called to ask you how you are doing. You don't even bother to join the group."

"Brother Dong, I resigned these two days and I'm looking for something to do. I really don't have time to chat in the group. We'll be at the Hexian Restaurant in the evening, right? What time?" Ren Zhong said casually when he heard that it was his college classmate Zhao Lidong.

This was his good friend. After graduation, one of them entered the system, while the other failed the exam and went into sales. Both of them were very busy, so even though they were in the same city after graduation, they could only meet once a year.

But Ren Zhong thought that the New Year was approaching, so he had to make time to see her.

"What? You were working well in the system, why did you quit in less than a year? Are you crazy?" Zhao Lidong asked in surprise on the other end of the phone.

"Things are a bit complicated, let's meet and talk. It's hard to explain it in a few words on the phone." Ren Zhong said.

"Okay then, see you at 6:." Zhao Lidong heard what Ren Zhong said and knew what he meant, so he hung up the phone.

Ren Zhong walked into the small courtyard and took a quick look. Most of the space in the courtyard was surrounded by fiberglass tiles. With the door closed, no one from outside could see what was going on inside.

There are three main rooms, a utility room and a kitchen in the back. The rooms are very clean, without even a bench, and the floor is made of cement without tiles.

There is a two-burner earthen stove in the kitchen, which seems to be able to burn either firewood or coal. Opposite the stove is a cement water tank, which still has half a tank of water in it. I don't know how long it has been stored there.

There was a faucet on the water tank. Ren Zhong turned on the faucet and tried it. There was still water. It was probably because water outages were frequent in rural areas in the past, so a water tank was left as a backup.

No wonder they don’t even want a deposit. It’s an empty house where even a mouse would cry if it came in. What’s there to lose?

But for Ren Zhong, this is actually better. He will not live here. He rented an apartment in a good community and spent thousands of dollars a month to live in it. If he comes to this countryside to suffer, there must be something wrong with his brain.

This is not the world of Bright Sword.

Ren Zhong estimated what he would do here and planned what he would purchase, mainly a set of desks and chairs, then a bed, an electric frying pan and a rice cooker, so that he could stay overnight temporarily. It was not easy to order takeout here, after all, it was several kilometers away from the nearest town.

Then he put a few tables in the yard to facilitate some simple chemical experiments. He put the bottles and jars in the yard. The original owner used a steel frame to support the roof more than 3 meters high, so there was no danger of starting a fire in the yard.

For Ren Zhong, this place is simply perfect. Crossing two dimensions from here is safer than staying in the residential area. After all, once the gate of the courtyard is closed, no one knows whether he is there or not.

I will activate broadband later and install two cameras on the left and right outside the yard so that I can know if there is anyone around.

After writing down the things he wanted to buy on his mobile phone, Ren Zhong closed the door and left, heading into the city. He first went to activate the broadband, then went to the furniture store to order the furniture he wanted to buy, and then went to the electrical appliance store to buy some necessary electrical appliances. After all, express delivery was not convenient in that place, so he decided to buy them offline and throw them on his Wuling magic car.

By the time he finished all these, it was almost 6 o'clock. Ren Zhong remembered the agreement with Zhao Lidong and turned the car around to go to the Hexian Restaurant on San Street.

As soon as he parked the car and got out, he saw Zhao Lidong squatting on the shared bike. "Hey, Ren Zhong, you bought a car?" Zhao Lidong looked at Ren Zhong in surprise as he got out of the car.

"I just bought a second-hand car. I quit my job and planned to start a live streaming sales business. So, I got a great car to transport goods." Ren Zhong said with a smile.

He couldn't hide the fact that he had resigned from the people around him, including his parents in his hometown, so Ren Zhong continued with the lie he had told Li Junmei at noon, and it was now becoming more and more mature in his mind.

"Live streaming to sell goods?" Zhao Lidong frowned when he heard it and said, "Mr. Ren, no one is going to pull you into a pyramid scheme, right? Live streaming is at the forefront of public opinion, but for an amateur without any fans like you, isn't it too risky to do this?" Zhao Lidong and Ren Zhong have a good relationship, although he speaks frankly.

"No, I know that. Although what I do won't make me rich, it's enough to make a living. It's better than writing documents in the street office." Ren Zhong said with a smile.

"By the way, have Wenhui, Brother Feng and the others arrived?" Ren Zhong changed the subject.

"They should be here. They took the subway and said they had arrived at the incubation park ten minutes ago. I guess they have arrived." After Zhao Lidong finished speaking, he picked up his phone and swiped it a few times.

"Let me check the group message. Okay, we're here. We're in room 307. Let's go in."

Wang Wenhui and Liang Xiaofeng were both Ren Zhong's classmates, but they were not in the same dormitory as Zhao Lidong. They just lived in the same city, so they formed a group to exchange information after graduation.

"Ren Zhong, Li Dong, you are late, so you have to drink three glasses of wine as punishment," Liang Xiaofeng started yelling as soon as he entered the room.

"Didn't we say it would be 6:6? It's only 25: now. You're here too early," Zhao Lidong retorted with a smile.

"How have you guys been doing in the past six months since graduation? Have you taken off?"

"Fuck you, I didn't understand what society's beating meant before, but after running around in the market for more than half a year, I finally understand it deeply. A liberal arts graduate who can't get into the system is worse than a dog!" Wang Wenhui cursed.

"Ren Zhong is the best choice for you. You have entered the system and are now very stable."

"Haha, don't mention it. I've already packed up my bags and left. This system is worse than a dog's. For a whole month, I'm either writing documents or on my way to write documents. There's no commuting to get off work, and no holidays. If the leader says you need to, you have to run out to write something even in the middle of the night." Ren Zhong shook his head.

"What, Ren Zhong, you don't even want to work in the system, are you crazy? It's so difficult to get into the system now, yet you don't want it anymore." When the other two buddies heard what Ren Zhong meant, they screamed in surprise, just like Zhao Lidong's reaction at the beginning.

"If I don't quit my job, I'll go crazy. Let me tell you, in today's society, every snake bites and there is no easy life. My personality is not suitable for working in the system, so it's better for me to quit. Do something I want to do." Ren Zhong secretly felt ashamed. If he hadn't had the time-travel system, he wouldn't have dared to quit his job no matter how hard his life was.

The situation is different now, and I have to pretend to be cool.

Alas, I have no choice. Brothers, I hope you can be braver, otherwise it will be difficult to get along with you as ordinary people in the future.

Ren Zhong said secretly in his heart.

But on the surface, he looked nonchalant and started eating and drinking with his brothers. Although he drove here, there were so many designated drivers in the world and it was impossible for him not to make any money at all.

Anyway, today's gathering is to reveal my identity change. If it takes off in the future, everyone should get used to it.

Ren Zhong thought so and soon got into a battle at the drinking table.
