Chapter 1557: Re-Contact with Li Xiaoyue
The house that Na Jun lives in now is a small two-bedroom apartment, which he bought after working for many years. Although the area is only 60-70 square meters, it is also a home that belongs to him.
More than 90% of the migrant workers in Beijing rent houses, and there are very few people who can own their own houses.
Like Na Jun, who has his own house and a car before the age of 30, he is undoubtedly very successful among the migrant workers in Beijing.
Even if it is only a small two-bedroom apartment of 60-70 square meters, it is the dream home of countless migrant workers in Beijing. Even if the location is not particularly good, it is also in the urban area of Beijing.
After returning to his home with a familiar way, Zhou Chen sat on the sofa and began to think about the future.
The main task target has been found and the contact information has been added. Next, as long as he approaches the development step by step, he believes that he can still complete the task.
As for the remaining three side quests, having children is a later story. The people who appear in the two side quests are Na Wei, the biological elder brother of the original body, Wang Ruizhi and Qin Lingling, the boss and boss's wife of Na Wei's company, and Xie Meilan, the wife of Shen Lei, the younger brother of his sister-in-law Shen Lin.
He didn't remember who Lu Jie was, but from the quests, it can be seen that Lu Jie can be called a domineering president, so he should be a rich man.
Judging from these quests, the film and television world he traveled through this time is most likely a family drama, and it is most likely related to "money".
There is also a plot card, and Zhou Chen did not hesitate and used it directly.
The system panel appeared in front of him, and the introduction and TV series about this film and television world were slowly played in front of him.
This is an urban life TV series called "Mortal Song". The story revolves around three couples and lovers living in Beijing, telling the story of how they face their own life dilemmas, face their hearts, and overcome life crises together.
After reading the plot summary, the description is quite positive.
Zhou Chen started playing a TV series. The absolute male and female protagonists of the TV series "Song of Mortals" are Na Wei and Shen Lin, and the story starts from their home.
Zhou Chen went to cook after watching the beginning. His original body didn't eat at home all year round, so there was no food at home, only fast food, instant noodles and the like.
He made two servings of instant noodles and ate while watching.
After watching the first episode, Zhou Chen was a little surprised. It turned out that in the plot, Na Jun and Li Xiaoyue were a couple, but judging from the tasks issued by the system, the final result of this couple might not be good, and they would definitely break up.
At the beginning of the plot, Na Jun and Li Xiaoyue had been in love for three years, but he traveled through time and met Li Xiaoyue for the first time today, and they had not yet known each other.
From this, a lot of important information can be inferred. It is now 20 years, and the two have been dating for three years at the beginning of the plot, so the background of the beginning of the plot is 23 years.
Watching at double speed, it was more than five o'clock in the morning in a blink of an eye, and the whole show had been watched.
After watching the final plot, Zhou Chen's biggest feeling was one sentence, what a bunch of unlucky people, all unlucky together.
Among the three couples in the plot, the most successful one is undoubtedly Na Jun, who has an annual salary of one million and bought a 160-square-meter house near the urban area of Beijing, but in the plot, his experience is also quite miserable.
Years of high-intensity work pressure made him very anxious and suffered from panic disorder and depression.
Panic disorder and depression sound scary, but in fact, such symptoms have become more and more common in modern society, especially in young people in big cities. Once people are under too much pressure and cannot vent it, they are prone to illness.
Among the three male protagonists in the song of ordinary people, Na Wei's mid-life crisis, unemployment, bankruptcy, betrayal, etc., can be called the worst in the play. In the end, it seems that he deliberately wants to make up for it and let his family rise again.
Na Jun is actually quite good. He has a mental illness, but he is pretty good in other aspects. He has ability and material things, and he will not live a bad life in the future.
As for Shen Lei, he was actually very frustrated. As a civil servant in Beijing, with a Beijing hukou, he was already standing above many people and should have had a bright future. However, because of a vain woman, he gave up his future and became a wild man, and finally went to the mountainous area to teach.
To be honest, in the domestic employment situation, civil servants in the central government agencies in Beijing are definitely golden rice bowls, but such a job is actually despised.
Xie Meilan works in a financial institution and earns 20,000 yuan a month, which is much higher than Shen Lei's 8,000 yuan salary. But the problem is that the biggest benefit of the agency is not the salary, but other benefits, as well as hidden benefits, which are definitely not comparable to those of a worker in a financial institution.
In real society, in terms of social status, people like Xie Meilan can't compare with Shen Lei even if they flatter. If they didn't start dating in college, they would have no intersection after entering society, and they are not in the same circle at all.
For a job like Shen Lei, it's not too easy to find a partner. If it's not internal digestion, there will be many rich girls from other places who will pay for it.
A graduate student from a 985 university, a civil servant in a central government agency, and a Beijing hukou, the value is definitely high.
Shen Lei was so miserable in the end, Xie Meilan was only one of the factors, and the other was that he was too fragile and could not handle things.
In summary, they are a family of unlucky people, one more miserable than the other, but it is undeniable that they all had their moments of glory, and they are still much higher than the real working class mortals.
After watching the TV series, Zhou Chen had a better impression of Li Xiaoyue.
Because of his experience and ability, he is no longer an ordinary person. What he enjoys most now is a free and carefree life. In the words of his wives in multiple worlds, he is very Buddhist and knows how to enjoy.
Li Xiaoyue's living habits are really compatible with him. The difference between them is that he has developed this state of facing life because of his many experiences, while Li Xiaoyue has changed because of the death of her parents in a car accident. Her values have changed and she has the current life state.
There are already main line tasks. Now that he knows that Li Xiaoyue is such an interesting person, Zhou Chen is more motivated. It is really difficult to find a partner who can always accompany him to eat, drink and have fun in life.
Moreover, Li Xiaoyue is a woman who can provide emotional value, has a good life style, and is very stable in emotions. Living with such a woman must be very interesting and fun.
As for other external things, such as money, houses, cars, etc., they are not a big deal for him.
There are still three years before the plot begins, so the side quests don't need to be taken care of for now. The target of the main quest, Li Xiaoyue, is now the challenge he needs to face directly.
Knowing what kind of personality Li Xiaoyue has, it is not difficult for Zhou Chen to pursue her. Just take it slowly.
The original body's economic conditions are not bad. He has a house and a car, and there are more than 200,000 in savings. These start-up funds are completely enough for him.
That can almost be regarded as a 997 Internet technology backbone job. He is very disgusted and doesn't want to continue to be a code farmer like the original body.
But he is not in a hurry to resign. Thinking of the situation of Na Jun Company in the plot, even if he leaves, he can't leave so easily. He must make up for the original body's efforts over the years, and can't let such a company that doesn't treat employees as human beings and kills the donkey after it has done its work be cheap.
It was already past five in the morning, and Zhou Chen didn't want to go to work. He directly took out his mobile phone and sent a message to his immediate boss, Mr. Lu.
The content of the message was very simple. He had a sudden brain disease and a splitting headache. He couldn't sleep all night and couldn't get out of bed. He needed to take a leave to rest and recover. It happened that he didn't take the annual leave, so he took the annual leave.
After sending it, he didn't care about it. He turned off his phone directly, threw it aside, and covered himself with a quilt to sleep.
When he woke up again and turned on his phone, he found that it was already past twelve o'clock. There were more than a dozen missed calls on his phone and many messages on WeChat, all from Mr. Lu, his boss in the company.
"There's something wrong."
He turned off his phone before to prevent being disturbed like this. Sure enough, he made so many calls and sent so many messages. He was really persistent.
Zhou Chen was not in a hurry. After getting up, he started brushing his teeth and washing his face with the toiletries he bought yesterday.
Looking at the person in the mirror, Zhou Chen was still quite satisfied. Although he was not as handsome as himself, he was tall and strong and looked like a handsome guy.
He walked to the restaurant outside the community to have lunch. After returning home, he took out his phone and called Mr. Lu.
As soon as the call was connected, there was an angry roar from the other side.
"Najun, what's wrong with you? Why did you turn off your phone? The company's regulations require you to be on standby 24 hours a day. I called you more than a dozen times and sent you so many messages. Are you blind or deaf..."
"Pah!"
Zhou Chen hung up without saying anything.
A few seconds later, the phone rang again, and he sat there calmly until the last ring was about to end, and he chose to answer it.
"Najun, are you sick..."
"Pah!"
Hang up again, called again, and answered the phone at the last second.
But this time, Zhou Chen took the initiative.
"If you can't speak properly, I'll hang up again."
"Then..."
The emotions that had just been brewing on the other side were instantly destroyed by Zhou Chen. After a long silence, the voice sounded again.
"Na Jun, what's wrong with you? I called you so many times, but you didn't call me back. Do you know that because you didn't come to work today, the company has been in a mess. The system crashed several times due to bugs, and you can't be found anywhere. Do you still want to work?"
"I'm not feeling well. Can't I ask for leave? Will I go bankrupt if the company is gone? Mr. Lu, don't say so much. I have a headache now. I haven't had a day off for more than a month. I've been working overtime all day and often sleeping in the company. The high-intensity work has given me a headache that I can't stand. I'm going to Go see a doctor and get checked. "
Mr. Lu on the other side obviously stopped breathing. After a long while, he asked, "Is it so serious? Then you should go see a doctor as soon as possible. I will approve your leave. Annual leave, right? Rest for a week first, take good care of your body, and come back to work after you recover. The company can't do without you."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu. I won't say anything more. I will take a car to the hospital for a check-up now."
Zhou Chen hung up the phone directly. From Na Jun's memory, he knew very well how the company exploited them, so he had no pressure at all to ask for leave and make up stories.
The company treats you like a cow and a horse, so you don't have to treat the company like a master.
In order to cope with it, Zhou Chen really went to a nearby hospital. With his medical skills, it was very easy to pretend to be sick. He easily got a report and a certificate recommending recovery and rest from the doctor.
After leaving the hospital, Zhou Chen did not go home. Instead, he took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Li Xiaoyue, whom he had just added yesterday, asking how she was doing now. After learning that she had not gone out and was resting at home, he drove directly there. He found the location of the community where Li Xiaoyue got off the car last time.
After buying some things, Zhou Chen sent Li Xiaoyue her location, saying that he would come to visit her and ask her if it was convenient.
Li Xiaoyue's reply was very fast, but it was not a message, but a video call.
When she saw from the video that Zhou Chen was indeed near the rental community where she lived, she told Zhou Chen her specific address and asked Zhou Chen to find her.
Li Xiaoyue lives in an older community, and the environment is not very good. If there is anything good about it, it is that it is close to the subway entrance and it is easy to take the subway.
Zhou Chen found the door of Li Xiaoyue's rental house according to the address she told her, and knocked gently.
After a while, footsteps were heard from inside the house, and then Li Xiaoyue's alert voice came.
"Who?"
"It's me, Na Juan."
Li Xiaoyue then opened the door and saw what Zhou Chen was holding.
"Didn't I tell you that you don't need to buy me anything? Yesterday you bought me medicine and helped me bandage it. You already thanked me, so you don't need to make a special trip."
Zhou Chen said with a smile: "I really feel sorry for not coming to see you. I bought these from outside the community. They are not expensive things, just fruits and snacks."
"Come in."
Li Xiaoyue let Zhou Chen in, but did not close the door, and sat down with Zhou Chen on the sofa nearby.
After Zhou Chen sat down, he put the things on the coffee table. He didn't look around, but he could already see the environment here with just a few glances when he came in.
"This is a house I share with others. Thank you for coming to see me. But I really have nothing to do now and I can go to work normally tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it." Li Xiaoyue said openly .
Zhou Chen said, "I'm relieved to see you're fine. By the way, have you changed any medicine and gauze for your wound?"
Li Xiaoyue took a look at the wound, which was still bandaged yesterday.
"Not yet, I'm going to change the dressing later."
"It's inconvenient for you to change the dressing and bandage yourself. I just happened to be here, so let me help you."
"It's too much trouble."
"No trouble, just change the medicine. It'll be quick. Where are the medicine and gauze?"
"It's in my room. Sit down and I'll get it myself."
Li Xiaoyue walked into her room and took out the medicine and gauze.
"Is your leg okay?"
"Oh, it's okay. I just sprained a bit yesterday, but I can't feel it today."
"That's good. Please clean up your sleeves and I'll help you change your dressing."
Zhou Chen took out the iodophor, cotton swabs, medicine and gauze and placed them one by one on the coffee table.
Li Xiaoyue kept looking at Zhou Chen, gently rolled up her long sleeves, and put her arms in front of Zhou Chen.
Zhou Chen carefully removed the gauze for her, and when the wound was finally pulled, Li Xiaoyue couldn't help but let out a scream of pain, but she quickly held it back.
"I'll help you clean and wipe it again first, and then put on the medicine. It may hurt a little, so bear with it."
"Well, okay, thank you."
Li Xiaoyue looked at Zhou Chen, who was carefully treating her wounds. The serious expression and profile suddenly made her heart tremble.
A few minutes later, Zhou Chen wiped and rinsed her, applied medicine, and after a while, bandaged her again.
"I took a look and found that the wound was fine. There was no suppuration. If treated in time, most of it would recover in four to five days. There will be no scars after it heals."
"Thank you, then."
"Na Juan."
Li Xiaoyue suddenly laughed: "I saw your WeChat name, and your last name is the one we usually talk about, right? To be honest, this last name is really rare."
Zhou Chen also smiled and said, "It's really rare. Anyway, I've lived for almost thirty years. Except for people in our family, I really haven't met many people with the same surname as me."
"Your name is very distinctive and easy for people to remember. Unlike my name, Li Xiaoyue, which is like a bad street. If you shout this name outside, I estimate that several people will turn around at the same time, haha."
Li Xiaoyue said to herself, making herself laugh.
