super rich

Dongjiang Province, the provincial capital Qiantang City.

As one of the eight ancient capitals of China, Qiantang City stands on the coast of the East China Sea with its unique charm, and is famous all over the world. Many people come here especially, and they will be impressed by the unique and quiet atmosphere of this city.

In the evening of midsummer, the cool breeze blowing from the ocean adds a touch of coolness to the heat, and after the busy day, it gradually turns into a leisurely style.

Zhonghai and Qiantang City are not far apart. After more than two hours of driving, Chen Mingyuan finally arrived at the destination. Feeling the long-lost but familiar humanistic atmosphere, looking at the old-fashioned houses in front of him, an unspeakable nostalgia filled his heart .

He has a special liking for this city. It can be said that the first few years spent in Qiantang City were the happiest years of his life, simple and fulfilling. Although there are still many unforgettable regrets in the end, it does not affect his love for The emotion of this livable city.

It's just that compared to the livable environment of the city, the old building in front of me is not very livable. The remote location and dilapidated style explain its "long history".

This is the former dormitory building of Dongjiang Radio and Television University. Later, when the school was relocated, it was used as a staff dormitory by nearby provincial satellite TV stations, radio stations, and cable TV stations. Due to the poor conditions, most of the people who live here are Single workers from other places, and relatively low-ranking regular workers with a bit of a grade basically live in the new buildings that were just completed the year before last.

Chen Mingyuan has no qualifications and no background. After joining Dongjiang Cable TV, he was assigned here as a matter of course.

Today is Sunday, but due to the characteristics of the radio and television unit's "all year round", it was very deserted when Chen Mingyuan entered, and the heat was in full swing, so many people must have gone out to cool off at this time, but when he opened the door of the dormitory, He still found a big living person.

"You're finally back!"

In the almost rough dormitory, on the concrete floor, a fat man was wearing a pair of big underpants, lying on the window sill with a straw mat stretched across the air.

Seeing this fat man, Chen Mingyuan smiled after being in a daze.

This is his roommate, his colleague Zhu Tianpeng who also works in the advertising department of Dongjiang Cable TV.

Due to the similar age, in the previous life, Chen Mingyuan had a good relationship with him, so he responded casually, put the travel bag on the bottom bunk of the wooden bed, took out a bag of soft Chinese, threw it over, and He took off his T-shirt and prepared to go to the water room to fetch a basin of water.

"Hey! You've already smoked good cigarettes of this grade. You Zhonghai people are really rich!" Zhu Tianpeng put the cigarette by his nostrils and sniffed it, his face full of intoxication.

He only knew that Chen Mingyuan was from Zhonghai, he didn't know the details of the Chen family, and since he met him, he didn't realize that this roommate had the slightest style of a rich family, and he lived with him in this 'slum' for a whole year. I thought it was just an ordinary family background, so I didn't feel too relieved about Chen Mingyuan's occasional "show rich".

After Chen Mingyuan came back from collecting water outside, he twisted a towel to wipe off the sweat stains, and asked, "It's a hot day, and everyone else ran out, why are you still here?"

"Don't mention it, you've been away for a week, and the work in the department is all on my head. I'm as tired as a dog during the day, so I don't have the energy to go out for a stroll."

After Zhu Tianpeng lit his cigarette, he crossed his legs and half leaned against the wall, and complained: "Look, it's only been a few days, and the grease on my body is almost dried up, if you don't come back, I'm sure I'll have to stop cooking. "

The advertising department, as the name suggests, is responsible for advertising sponsorships for Tailila. Newcomers like Chen Mingyuan are destined to be hard workers on the front line. Running around under the scorching sun, occasionally the stage lacks labor, so I have to bite the bullet and go on top.

It can be described in one sentence: get up earlier than chickens, work harder than cows, and eat worse than pigs!

"Is there a lot of business in the department this week?"

"If there is a lot of business, it's worth the hard work, but the problem is that I haven't even picked up a vegetable leaf, and it's just a waste of time."

Zhu Tianpeng seemed uninterested, and spread his hands and said, "Don't say I'm incompetent. It's not that you don't know the current situation. Most of the enterprises are not very profitable. Many state-owned units that we cooperated with before can't even pay their wages. Do your best to restructure, transform and lay off employees, so there is no spare money for advertising."

"Besides, aren't Xu Heigou all the cooperative units that are in a slightly better situation now? He earns the commission easily by himself, so how can he give it to us with kindness? If we don't let us run around the street, it will be a conscience discovery!"

Xu Heigou, whose real name is Xu Mo, is the chief of the second business section of the advertising department of Cable TV. He is two years older than Chen Mingyuan. The boss is quick-witted and clever, so he became the immediate boss of the two of them.

It would be fine if Xu Mo was really capable, but there are some villains here who are slavish and humble to the leaders, but extremely mean and arrogant to the people below them. They usually not only like to put on official authority in front of Chen Mingyuan and others, but also can take advantage of them. The benefits are all taken away by him. For example, those powerful advertisers are basically in his own hands. Sometimes the salesmen at the bottom find new customers after untold hardships, but they fall away in the blink of an eye. It's in Xu Mo's hands!

In other departments, the leaders ate meat, and the subordinates could still drink soup, but under Xu Mo, they couldn't even get the soup base. Over time, Xu Heigou's notoriety spread among Chen Mingyuan and others.

"Now the business volume has been declining, and everyone is almost drinking the northwest wind, but this black dog is still calling us. I was busy outside the whole afternoon the day before yesterday, so I took the time to go back to drink water. When he saw it, he beat us immediately. General training, do you think it's disgusting!"

Zhu Tianpeng was so angry that he glanced at him suddenly and said in a low voice, "By the way, he also talked about you..."

Chen Mingyuan raised his eyebrows and stopped, "What are you talking about?"

"He said that the business volume of the advertising department has been falling recently. If this continues, in addition to layoffs, some idlers may be sent to other places to attract customers, such as..."

At this point, Zhu Tianpeng remained silent, but Chen Mingyuan had already understood.

Obviously, Xu Mo was trying to use himself as an example to remind the salesmen under him to hurry up and work hard, so as not to lose their jobs!

College students at this time were not as popular as before, but Chen Mingyuan came from a key university at any rate, and it stands to reason that he could get a half-time job. Unfortunately, when he just graduated, his personality was inevitably impulsive and introverted, which made him often run into walls in the advertising department, and his performance was mediocre. It's no surprise, and Xu Mo doesn't like him as a high-achieving student. He always likes to find fault and ridicule a few times, and it seems that he can get a lot of fun from it.

It's true that he is a bum who didn't graduate from high school, but being able to trample on a top student from a prestigious school is enough to make him proud!

Chen Mingyuan vaguely remembered that shortly after returning from visiting relatives in his previous life, Xu Mo sent him away under the pretense of going out to find clients!

It was his first job, and he was driven away like a bereaved dog without being deterred by the difficulties and dangers of his family and life, which is tantamount to a great shame!

Reminiscent of Xu Mo's mean and mocking smile when he announced the news, and the pity eyes of Zhu Tianpeng and other colleagues, Chen Mingyuan's complexion gradually darkened, and that kind of undisguised oppression was always engraved in his heart!

Thinking of this, Chen Mingyuan's hand holding the towel suddenly tightened a little, and the water that was wrung out kept dripping into the washbasin, causing ripples, just like his state of mind at the moment.

Zhu Tianpeng noticed his strange behavior, so he stood up and patted his arm, persuading him: "Don't worry about it, he just has such bad manners, he likes to scare and scare people, even if he really wants to use a knife on you, he must go to the department The leader agrees, and he is not the only one who has the final say."

But that being said, with Chen Mingyuan's dismal performance, if Xu Mo was determined to kick someone, there wouldn't be much resistance.

"I'm fine. It's a difficult time right now. It's normal to be said a few words. If I'm really unfortunate to be kicked out, it's my own ability, no one else."

Chen Mingyuan smiled heartily, and temporarily put these chaotic reveries behind him. There are plenty of opportunities to settle this account!

Zhu Tianpeng didn't want to say any more, now he can't protect himself, even if he wants to help, he can't do anything, perhaps, this is the sorrow of these powerless and powerless little people!

"You haven't eaten yet, I'll put away the clothes first and go out together."

Zhu Tianpeng took a look at the setting sun that was gradually sinking to the west, and then went out to the rooftop.

Chen Mingyuan wiped his face again, and was about to put on his clothes when he suddenly heard the public phone in the corridor ringing. Seeing that no one answered it for a long time, he had to go out and answer it, put it to his ear, and a ring came from the receiver first. Hiccup, and then a man said drunkenly: "Who are you?"

Chen Mingyuan gathered his eyebrows together, and recognized that it was Xu Mo's voice, and said lightly, "I am Chen Mingyuan."

"Hey! It's you! I thought you'd never come back." Xu Mo seemed to have drunk too much and his tongue was a little knotted, but the sarcasm in his tone was clearly revealed. came back.

Chen Mingyuan didn't say anything, his expression was calm.

"Forget it, I'm in a good mood today, I don't bother to argue with you."

Xu Mo hiccupped again, and said, "Let me ask you, who of you can drive... Oh, I remembered, you have a driver's license, hurry to Minghu Hotel, there is a shortage of drivers here, Director Guan They can't wait any longer!"

As soon as he heard 'Director Guan', Chen Mingyuan's heart was moved.
