Chapter 14 The unbearable past

After dinner, Xiao Mu returned to the room and flopped down on the bed.

In the dead of night, looking at the white ceiling, I felt an inexplicable sense of emptiness.

He turned to look out the window at the silent night, as if it was still that familiar room.

Looking back, Xiao Mu had only traveled to Douluo Continent for a day, but this place made him feel nostalgic.

This nostalgic memory should have been sealed in his inner world, but the familiar silence at this time awakened this unbearable memory.

Xiao Mu is 25 years old this year. He lives in a first-tier city of Blue Star.

He is just an ordinary person who works from nine to six and only has one day off per month.

When his friends wanted to ask him out to play, he could only reluctantly refuse them.

Friends always ask: "Xiao Mu! Why do you say you're not available every time I ask for a date? Do you not regard me as a brother anymore?!"

"No way, I can only have one day off per week, and it's still a shift system. Let alone making an appointment with me one day in advance. Even if you make an appointment with me two or three days in advance, I may not be able to take the rest."

"Hey, if I want to ask you out to play on weekends, it's harder than landing on the moon~"

"You can ask me out at night!" Xiao Mu questioned.

"Hey, Brother Xiao Mu, it's not like you don't know that my wife has just been pregnant. I have to take care of her every day when I get home from work. If it weren't for the rare rest that one of our parents can help take care of her, maybe I Even on weekends, I have to make soup and rice for her at home, and I even have to watch over her all the time. She is like the empress dowager. If she wants to go to the toilet, I have to rush to help her. What do you think I can do like this? Maybe I can ask you out to play when I get off work~"

Xiao Mu finally came to his senses and found out that the other party's wife was pregnant.

After thinking about it carefully, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth, "That's right. I almost forgot that you have been married for more than a year. It is normal for my sister-in-law to be pregnant."

"Hey, Brother Xiao Mu, you have to cherish your single time. I can't say I regret it now. I just miss my old unbridled lifestyle and play as I like."

Hearing what the other party said, Xiao Mu couldn't help but sigh.

The other party seemed to clearly hear Xiao Mu sighing.

"Hey! Xiao Mu, don't misunderstand me~ I have no intention of being bitter to you. Only those who have experienced it personally know what it is like to be on the road of suffering that life must go through. I also express my feelings with envy."

"I know~ How can I be so stingy? We have known each other for so many years since we were little. Don't I still know who you are? Don't worry about me~"

"Hey, brother, just hope you're okay. I thought we hadn't seen each other for a while, so I planned to ask you out."

"That's right~ The last time we met, it was when you got married."

"That's right, Xiao Mu, you bastard! I just got married and am busy with a lot of things. You are so free and you don't take the initiative to ask me out to play! You are really going too far!"

"Hey, I told you when you got married. You were comforting me about my career at that time. After that, I found a new job and was too busy, so I didn't take the initiative to ask you out. "

"Yes! Xiao Mu! As expected of our university monitor! You found a job so quickly. What are you doing now?" the other party asked with a curious tone.

"Hey, it's just an ordinary service industry. How can it be as relaxing as your government job? You can get weekends off, and I guess you'll get a lot of year-end bonus~" Xiao Mu said with a mixture of envy and curiosity.

"It's just normal, it's just an extra month's salary."

The other party was so vague, but Xiao Mu still knew very well that the so-called monthly salary was just a synonym for the other party's humility.

There are definitely a lot of year-end bonuses for government workers like this. From what Xiao Mu knows, the other party has a stable monthly salary of at least 8000 yuan. The year-end bonus is at least 4 to [-] yuan. For outstanding employees, it even exceeds [-] yuan. After all, the other party is official. Contract workers.

It was obvious that the other party was so casual and perfunctory in order to protect Xiao Mu's face and sense of difference.

The same university graduates, others have a monthly salary of more than 8000, and even have year-end bonuses, but Xiao Mu's so-called service industry is a hotel and restaurant waiter.

This is not to say that hotel and restaurant waiters are not good, but this is a grassroots position. Not only is it hard work, but the monthly salary is only 3000 yuan. After deducting five insurances and one housing fund, it is barely 3000 yuan.

If someone is late or asks for leave in any month, the salary will not even be 3000 after deducting wages.

This is a well-known low-paying profession, and Xiao Mu is embarrassed to bravely tell others that he is in this industry.

After all, I am a graduate of a prestigious university, and there are many more outstanding classmates than the other party.

I heard that some people are still engaged in financial investment, insurance, and house sales. These students are all doing well and have cars and buildings.

And Xiao Mu is just a little restaurant waiter now, and he can't hold his head high in front of his classmates and friends. After all, he was once a university monitor with excellent academic performance.

Being so forceful, he could only choose to avoid talking about it as much as possible, or deal with it vaguely.

The reason why Xiao Mu had to change his job as a low-level employee at this time was because he was forced to voluntarily resign from his last job.

Xiao Mu, who had just graduated, did not choose a professional company, but chose to work in tourism sales.

He is very competitive and has the courage to challenge himself. When it comes to a career that challenges himself, he immediately thinks of sales.

Although sales are low-level employees on the front line, it is a career with unlimited possibilities. As long as you have the ability, your salary can be unlimited.

When it comes to sales, there are all kinds of people in society.

But he loved traveling so much that he eventually chose to become a travel sales consultant.

The beginning of the job was smooth sailing. I started as a travel product sales consultant in the store and was promoted to regional manager.

At that time, he was very prosperous. Sometimes he would often stay in bed at work. The consequences of staying in bed would naturally make him late. In order to avoid being late, he could only choose to take a taxi.

The taxi fare for a trip was about 50 yuan, which was a piece of cake for his income level at that time.

Sometimes we even invite some colleagues and friends to eat and drink, such as five-star buffets or seafood meals.

When he posts on Moments, he also attracts envious likes and comments from many people.

With such scenery, he instantly felt the pinnacle of his life.

But the good times didn't last long. After more than three years of working, I experienced a world-wide virus disaster.

Such an epidemic has severely damaged the tourism industry, and even caused Xiao Mu to hit the bottom of her life.
