Chapter 3: God really pays off for hard work!
after one day.
Still in the Hailong Building, when the beautiful and wealthy classmate Milei also came out with an assembly machine, this young lady directly gave Wang Chengguang 500 yuan.
"Sure, Lao Wang, you are so knowledgeable that you can take advantage. Lu Tao gave you 500, so I definitely can't be stingy."
"I've also rented a house in Honglingjinqiao Xuan Special Zone Home. It was introduced by my classmate's mother. When the time comes, you can try to move in. If Lu Tao and I break down our computers, we can find someone to repair them."
Wang Chengguang was a little amused. Lu Tao said he would introduce clients to him, and he really did!
Unfortunately, Lu Tao is poisonous. In order to live close to Lu Tao, Milei paid tens of thousands of yuan in rent a year, and spent hundreds of thousands of yuan on decoration and home appliances before moving in without blinking an eye.
But the response she got was that Lu Tao cheated on her best friend and classmate.
When she succeeds in catching a woman for rape in the future, she will go home and cry for a week or two, and then fly to North America for asylum.
Two seconds later, Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "Thank you for your care. I have almost saved enough money to pay for a month's rent for a one-bedroom apartment in Xuan Special District."
In the world he traveled through, he was originally from Henan Province. For him, getting into a top university in the college entrance examination was the greatest effort he had made in high school, let alone a university in Beijing?
My parents are gone, and I was raised by my grandparents. I also have several uncles and aunts, so it's a big family in the countryside.
If you can finish a book successfully, your uncles, aunts, etc. will sponsor your tuition and living expenses. You will owe a lot of foreign debts. If you don’t have enough survival ability, you will be in a mess in this world after you travel through time.
Over the past night, Wang Chengguang has also adapted to the new life a little bit.
I still miss my parents and children before I traveled back in time, but there is no way to go back. Should I actively embrace the new world again? I will survive and stand firm first.
To put it bluntly, he can only stay in the dormitory for ten days or half a month at most, and then he can either live in the basement of Beijing, share a house and become a migrant worker, or go back to his hometown...
Milei smiled and said, "By the way, my classmate and good friend Yang Xiaoyun also wants to buy a computer. She has been hesitating whether to buy a computer or the latest mobile phone. Do you want to help her?"
"If you can buy the cheapest and most affordable computer, you should give it priority."
"But Xiaoyun doesn't have much money, she's very frugal. You can't make 500, she'll be heartbroken."
Wang Chengguang said happily, "You introduced me. No problem. Can I only make 50 yuan? 20 yuan is fine too."
Lu Tao originally mentioned 50 yuan, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and the budget of more than 6000 yuan was finally reduced to 5000 yuan, which saved him a lot and also included three years of after-sales maintenance.
Lu Tao even looks down on his adoptive father who is in his 40s and is a leader in a powerful department. He is just a department-level official... Well, we are on different channels.
………………
Time flies by.
More than a week later, Wang Chengguang woke up in the dormitory again, counted the money in his pocket, and thought about the world he had traveled to and the foreign debts he was carrying.
He calmly made himself a pack of instant noodles, and added a piece of ham and a boiled egg. "I finally saved enough money to move next month without having to worry about having no place to live."
This week, he had finally accumulated enough experience points in his computer assembly and repair skills to officially enter the ordinary (2/500) level.
From the entry level to the ordinary level, it feels like I have mastered a lot of new knowledge.
It really is true that hard work pays off!
Before he traveled through time, he worked as a salesman in the computer city in his hometown's provincial capital. Running dozens of orders was nothing but repetition, repetition over and over again.
But after these ten or so orders, I gained a lot of new knowledge and abilities out of thin air. It’s really cool that hard work pays off!
"Once we move to a new house and live in the Xuan Special Zone, won't I be able to cook and improve my cooking skills? I was a nanny for many years before I traveled through time, and I cooked a lot of homely meals, which is just an ordinary level."
(297/500) of ordinary cooking skills, according to the calculation of the assembled computer, wouldn't it be possible to upgrade by cooking three meals a day at home 203 times? 67 days.
In his previous life, he drove a private car for several years to pick up passengers. Not to mention every day, he drove between the county and the provincial capital at least three times a week. Six round trips, that is a thousand kilometers a week. It was common for him to be fined and have points deducted. Even an experienced driver could not prevent a few cameras from suddenly appearing at a certain intersection.
But he never had a car accident, not even a minor rear-end collision. It took several years of practice to develop into an excellent driver.
This excellent-level driver was over 40 years old before the time travel and had the strongest survival ability.
If your cooking skills are improved to a higher level, wouldn't it be possible to become a professional chef or open a restaurant?
Thinking of this, Wang Chengguang suddenly realized that with the system in his hands, he was struggling to survive in this new world and the big city. The difficulty of his life suddenly plummeted and became much easier.
After finishing a meal of instant noodles, he started the moving project. With his current financial situation, he didn't have to live in Xuan Special District and live in a house with a monthly rent of 1500 yuan.
But out of the dozen or so orders for assembled computers, almost all of them were from customers introduced by Lu Tao and Mile. No matter whether he made 20 yuan, 50 yuan or 100 yuan from each order, he would not have expanded his own customer base without the introduction of Lu Tao and Mile.
The previous promise to live close to the other party was also reasonable so that it would be convenient for me to help with repairs if something happened to the other party.
Rent for one month first. You don’t need to pay three months’ rent as deposit. This is a reputation that Lu Tao has earned.
At least, the one-bedroom apartments there include independent bathrooms and kitchens. If you live in a basement or share a place with someone else, where would you have the space to practice your cooking?
Wang Chengguang's moving project was helped by Mi Lai and Lu Tao. Mi Lai provided the private car, and Lu Tao provided the manpower...
The place he rented was on the floor above Lu Tao, with the same layout of one bedroom, one living room, one kitchen and one bathroom. This was the smallest apartment in Xuan Special Zone except for the basement.
As they gradually settled down to find a place to live, Wang Chengguang smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I will cook a home-cooked meal tonight to thank you all."
The little Christmas reindeer... No, it was my sister-in-law and Yang Xiaoyun. At this moment, Yang Xiaoyun was surprised and asked, "You can cook?"
Wang Chengguang smiled and waved his hands, "I don't have any cooking skills, but this is just home-cooked food, it's okay."
The little Christmas elk of this period is really tender and lively, with a smaller conscience than the future, but the big eyes are still very sparkling, "That's not bad, I didn't expect that you studied architecture for four years, and you are so good at assembling and repairing computers, and you even found a job."
"I'm miserable. I studied fashion design for four years. The best job I've ever had is a job at an advertising company. The internship salary is 700 yuan. I'm hesitating whether to go to work or not."
Lu Tao shook his head and said, "Not bad. Huazi went to sell used cars. He has been running south for so long and couldn't find a job, so his father started to help him find one."
"There are hundreds of people in our department, but I haven't heard of anyone being hired as an architect, even as an intern."
The rich and beautiful Milei was very excited. "Why rush? We are still young and there is plenty of time to find a job in the future..."
Wang Chengguang nodded, "No hurry, wait for me to clean up and I'll go buy some groceries."
Yang Xiaoyun was surprised and asked, "You just arrived, do you know where to buy vegetables?"
Seeing Wang Chengguang shaking his head, Yang Xiaoyun smiled and said, "I'll take you there? I'm the best at discovering what good things there are in every place."
When they met for the second time, she had a good impression of Wang Chengguang, but they were just ordinary friends and she didn't want to stay and watch Lu Tao and Mile show their affection!
Wang Chengguang also smiled and said, "Okay, thank you very much."
He had no interest in the Christmas reindeer. Even though his young and beautiful sister-in-law was prettier than his ex-wife before he traveled through time, he was still at a stage where he was concerned about his children and parents.
Don’t think too much, just survive, survive.
In this struggling world of 2007, gain a firm foothold and have sufficient ability to survive, then we can think about other things.
A middle-aged man travels through time, and his main goal is to survive for a while.
A lot of foreign debt.
