"Just tell me if you have something to say. I'll see if you have time to see what's going on." Zhang Lan said with a smile.

"That's what you said. Isn't it our school's anniversary in a few days? When Chen Jiahong contacted me, I asked him for the contact information of other classmates. I plan to drive to visit in the next few days. If you are free, we can Let's go together?" Xie Ruidong said his plan.

"Visiting classmates?" Zhang Lan was a little confused. Now that mobile phones and the Internet are so developed, it is not enough to contact them directly by phone. What is the purpose of the door-to-door visit? Are we really familiar with each other?

For people of Zhang Lan's generation, now that they can cut off contact with their college classmates, no matter how good they were in the past, they should not disturb others for no apparent reason.

We have mobile phones, QQ, and WeChat. If we really have deep feelings, how could we not be able to contact each other?

Since we haven't contacted each other for a long time, why not just live each other's lives quietly.

Zhang Lan just felt that there was nothing to go to. Since the contact was cut off, the contact was cut off. How could he drive to Baba to find someone?

Yang Tao on the side also had the same view. Xie Ruidong also mentioned it to him, but Yang Tao simply refused. He only had a few friends in school. Those he could keep in touch with after graduation are still in touch with him now. If he doesn't keep in touch, his relationship is average.

If you have a normal relationship, there is no need to find someone to do something to show off.

Yang Tao has been playing the same game for nearly 20 years since he was in school. It is true that he is a bit of a playboy, but he was like that when he was in school. He is still like this after all these years and has not changed much. The friends who played with him still play well today.

"Xu Jianfei knows it, right? It was only after I contacted Chen Jiahong this time that I found out that he committed suicide by jumping off the building." Xie Ruidong didn't say anything else, but told another piece of news.

Zhang Lan lost her voice and asked: "Boss, who did you just say? Xu Jianfei committed suicide?"

Yang Tao was also a little in disbelief and asked quickly: "Is it true or false? When did it happen?"

"About what happened a year ago, because of something at home during the Chinese New Year, his wife and his mother quarreled. The wife went back to her parents' home, and his mother went back to her hometown. After that, Xu Jianfei committed suicide." Xie Ruidong said with a sigh.

Xu Jianfei was a roommate in the dormitory next to Zhang Lan's university. He did well in school at the beginning. Xu Jianfei is a very smart person, or rather scheming.

My family is an ordinary family in the countryside, and my appearance is average. When I was in school, I pursued a girl from the urban area where my hometown is. Before my internship in my senior year was over, the two of them went home hand in hand to meet their parents.

As soon as I graduated, I naturally bought a house and got married. I graduated in July, got married in August, and my child was born the next year. It can be said that everything is one step ahead of everyone else. When Brother Zhang Lan mentioned it at several gatherings, he was very envious.

I bought the house early, and later caught up with the rising housing prices, and I feel even more envious when I think about it again. After graduating, Xu Jianfei joined a large company as a salesperson. He was a scheming person and knew how to get things done. I heard he was doing well, so how could he suddenly commit suicide?

Xie Ruidong explained that Xu Jianfei got married early at that time and had a child soon. When it was the child's turn to go to elementary school, housing prices were at their highest.

In order to provide their children with a better education, the couple sold the house they originally bought, and used their own savings and the savings of the two parents to buy a house in a school district.

In this way, he had to repay nearly 10,000 yuan for a monthly mortgage, and then his wife gave birth to a second child at that time, and the pressure increased instantly.

However, Xu Jianfei had been working for many years, and the economic situation was relatively good at that time. At the beginning, Xu Jianfei's annual salary was nearly 4 to 50 million, plus the year-end bonus and some extra money, there was still no impact on the family.

It was precisely with this confidence that his wife chose to give birth after an unexpected pregnancy. But when the child was about to be born, the economic situation began to change. The efficiency of Xu Jianfei's factory began to decline, and then the sales wages and bonuses at the top began to shrink. At this time, the pressure suddenly increased.

With his monthly mortgage payment and the family's daily living expenses, Xu Jianfei couldn't make ends meet without 20,000 yuan. Then after the child was born, his wife's health was not very good, so she asked a confinement nanny to take care of her for three months. At that time, Xu Jianfei began to feel a little embarrassed for the first time just for the cost of hiring a confinement nanny.

But at that time, I could still get enough money, and my wife was really not in good health, so I gritted my teeth and stayed for three months.

As the economic situation worsens step by step, factories in various manufacturing industries have also begun to shrink their business bit by bit. Xu Jianfei, who works in sales, has gradually changed from being in short supply to constantly traveling on business.

In the end, under the step-by-step layoffs, the company's sales department bosses began to lead teams to the county towns to find dealers. The purpose is to collect the money as quickly as possible and directly receive the money into the company's account, skipping the hands of the salesmen in the middle.

The extra money is gone, and salary income has plummeted. From four to five hundred thousand at the beginning, to three hundred thousand later. After the income drops, the family's living expenses will not decrease.

Mortgage, daily living expenses, children’s interest class fees, everything requires money.

And once a person gets used to spending money, even if his income level drops, it will be difficult to switch out of that state at once. Even if you move around and borrow money, you still have to maintain your previous standard of living.

In the third year after the birth of the second child, Xu Jianfei's family began to have a crisis. His parents are from a rural family. Both parents are farmers and have no extra income to support him.

His father-in-law also had a son who needed support, and he would not support Xu Jianfei's side. After his salary income was cut again, Xu Jianfei, who had always cared nothing about it, began to propose that his mother from his hometown come and live at home to help take his children to school and take care of them.

His wife knew that Xu Jianfei's salary had been declining in the past two years, and she was well aware of Xu Jianfei's request. At that time, in addition to the mortgage and daily living expenses, Xu Jianfei would have to take out a credit card to supplement any additional expenses.

But Xu Jianfei's daughter-in-law has not worked since graduation. She gave birth to a child early, and then she stayed at home to raise her husband and children, and then suddenly went out to find a job. With three thousand yuan a month, even Xu Jianfei at that time felt that it was better to take care of the children at home. No matter how hard he works, it is better to earn a little bit than if his wife goes out to work.

The economic situation will not change due to human will. When the company began to optimize management later, Xu Jianfei was really panicked. No matter how bad the economy was, he could still get more than 20,000 yuan a month at that time. It was difficult, but if he paid a little attention, his family could get by.

But it will be different if you are looking for a job again. It is easy for experienced salespeople to find jobs, but the salary level will not rise for a while.
