In your lifetime, stay safe

Chapter 3 Chapter 3

Those wrong tracks will one day return to normal.

Flipping through the newspaper in front of him, Xu Xi has read all the recruitment information in the newspaper. Many recruitment conditions are not suitable for him at all, and some people think he can, but he usually refuses when he calls.Xu Xi looked at almost all the crosses in the newspaper, and wondered when he would be able to find a job.It's been two days since I lived in Lu Haosheng's place, so I can't stay in his place all the time.But the main reason is that I don't even have 500 yuan on me now, and it's really almost a problem to eat.

If you don't have money, you will naturally save money, and you've already gotten used to it anyway.Since that year, Xu Xi has gotten used to saving as much as he can. Thinking about it, he hasn't bought new clothes for many years, but he is basically fixed at this 1.7 meters tall. Although those clothes are old , but still wearable.

I haven't eaten since morning. Xu Xi rubbed his stomach and looked at the scorching sun in the sky with discouragement. He probably won't be able to find a job today. Xu Xi went to the canteen next to him to buy a bottle of water and a piece of bread. , first make do with filling the stomach.After all, I have no money now, so I have to plan every penny.

This street is a food street, and Xu Xi saw that many hot pot restaurants posted job advertisements.Fang Xi asked several shops, but was rejected one by one. They said that they may not be suitable to be a waiter here. After all, the workload here is too heavy, and he is too thin to do it. things.

I have hit the wall several times in a row, and now it is really difficult to find a job.Xu Xi found a shady place to sit down, a little downcast.But Mr. Lu still has to keep going.Xu Xi encouraged himself in his heart, he must find a job as soon as possible, and then move out from Lu Haosheng.

Xu Xi felt very discouraged after going to many places but ended up with no results. After all, many places now require a degree to recruit people. He has not even graduated from high school, how could anyone want him.Although I had imagined such a result in my heart, it was still hard to hear the rejection.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Xu Xi knew that he might not be able to find it today, so he went back to see if there was any reply to the resume he submitted online.Hearing the ringtone of the mobile phone, Xu Xi took it out to have a look, but dared not answer or refuse.

Seeing that the phone stopped ringing again, Xu Xi's nervousness just now slowly eased, but he called again within a minute, and Xu Xi finally answered the phone.

"Hi, cousin." Xu Xi said in a trembling voice.

"Why did it take so long to answer the phone?"

"I didn't hear it just now."

"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, give me 3000 yuan in my account, right away."

"But I don't have that much money right now." Xu Xi didn't expect him to ask for 3000 yuan. Where can I find [-] yuan for him?

"No money, don't think I don't know, you are about to get paid soon, my cousin is a little tight recently, so you should lend it to my cousin for emergencies."

"But I just got fired, and I don't have much money on me."

"Cousin, you won't forget who helped you when your family had an accident, right? You can't be too ungrateful. Well, I'll tell you more, the day after tomorrow at the latest, otherwise I will come to you in person."

Xu Xi still wanted to say something, but the other end of the phone had already hung up, Xu Xi held the phone and felt empty, three thousand, where can I find him 3000 yuan, is he going to sell blood.Xu Xi laughed at himself, yes, one cannot be ungrateful, but are you really kind to yourself?

"Boss, it's time to get off work. We're going to go to karaoke to sing. Do you want to join us?" the secretary asked. After all, the boss is such a good man, and he's still single, so he can't make it easier for outsiders. Naturally, he wants to benefit the internal employees. Bar.

Lu Haosheng looked up at the time on his phone, he didn't expect to get off work so soon.Thinking that there was one more person in the apartment, Lu Haosheng rejected the secretary's kindness, saying that he had other things to do, so he would not go with them.

"Boss, you're not going on a date, are you? You never refused when we asked you out before." Miss Secretary didn't give up. After all, the boss is handsome and rich, and she likes it very much.

"Secret." After Lu Haosheng said these two words, he took his things and left the office, leaving a group of sighing crowd.

After picking up the car in the garage, Lu Haosheng drove back. He didn't know if Xu Xi had returned. He said before that he was going to find a job, so if he found it, he would leave.Lu Haosheng couldn't express how he felt, and he didn't want him to leave, but he felt that they could only be regarded as old classmates at most, and he couldn't get involved too much.

I thought it would be a warm light when I got home, but I didn't expect it to be dark.Lu Haosheng sighed a little. Could it be that Xu Xi was still outside, or did he leave without saying a word.Who knew that when he turned on the light in the living room, he saw Xu Xi sitting on the sofa blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

"You're back." Xu Xi felt that the lights were a bit dazzling, but when he looked back, he saw that Lu Haosheng had returned, and he stood up awkwardly and said.

"Why don't you turn on the light." Lu Haosheng took off his suit jacket, tied the cuffs of his shirt to his arms, and went to drink from the bottle of water in the refrigerator.

"Frugal." Xu Xi couldn't think of a good excuse for a while, so he just said one.

Lu Haosheng almost spit out a mouthful of water, this answer is really unacceptable, but fortunately he held back, otherwise his image would be ruined.

"By the way, didn't you go to find a job today? How about it? Did you find it?"

"No, I'll try again tomorrow." Xu Xi said a little disappointed, after all, it's useless to rush to find a job.

Hearing that Xu Xi didn't find Lu Haosheng, he breathed a sigh of relief, and then sat on the sofa next to him.

"By the way, have you eaten yet?" Lu Haosheng asked.

In fact, he was already hungry, Xu Xi thought so, but he was not hungry at first, and he felt it again when he said that.

"Why don't we go out to eat." Lu Haosheng suggested.

"I saw that there are a lot of ingredients in the refrigerator, why don't I make them for you, after all, it's so late, it's quite troublesome to go out to eat." Xu Xi felt that he was living with someone else now, and he was invited to treat himself Eating, it seems not very good.

"You can cook. I usually only eat." Lu Haosheng said with some embarrassment. After all, he didn't like to go into the kitchen since he was a child, so now he either eats takeaway or instant noodles.

Xu Xi thought it was a little funny, but he didn't know how to do it back then, it's just that people will always change and grow.

Taking the ingredients and walking to the kitchen, Xu Xi planned to simply cook three dishes and one soup, which could be done in an hour.

"Would you like me to help? Although I don't know how to do it, I can help with odd jobs." Lu Haosheng asked Ying.

"No, it will be fine in a while. You can watch TV for a while, and I will call you when it is done."

Now that Xu Xi has said this, Lu Haosheng is not polite to him. After all, he does have some work matters to deal with.

After I finished the remaining work, I came out and saw that Xu Xi had already put all the dishes on the table. Although they were all home-cooked dishes, I hadn't eaten such home-cooked dishes for a long time.

"It smells so good, Xu Xi, I think you can open a restaurant with your cooking skills." Lu Haosheng was very supportive, and sat down and picked up the chopsticks to pick up the tomato scrambled eggs closest to him. It was delicious.

"It's not as good as you said." Xu Xi was a little embarrassed. After all, cooking, which can't be put on the table, can't be compared with Lu Haosheng running a company at a young age.

Lu Haosheng still had a very pleasant meal. After all, he suffered from the torment of takeaways every day, and his stomach had already started to protest. Before that, he was thinking about taking a break and going home to let Lin Jing's father cook for him. Thinking of Lin Jing's father's craftsmanship, Lu Haosheng felt that he wanted to take a vacation again.

The guest room has been tidied up long ago. Since sleeping in Lu Haosheng's room for the first night, Xu Xi has been sleeping in the guest room for the past two days.Xu Xi was lying on the bed and couldn't fall asleep. Thinking of his cousin's phone call today, how could he give him 3000 yuan before the day after tomorrow.Now I don't even have a job, so I can't get it out at all.Moreover, I have basically lent him all my money this year, and he has never paid it back.But thinking of what my cousin said, yes, if it weren't for the help of my cousin and his family, I'm afraid I couldn't handle those things by myself.But my cousin's place is a bottomless pit. Even if I give it to him this time, I will ask myself what to do next time.Xu Xi tossed and turned, and didn't think of a good solution until dawn.

During dinner last night, Lu Haosheng said that he could just cook for him at home, and he could pay himself.Of course Xu Xi knew that this was just a joke, but after all, now that he was relying on him, cooking for him should be regarded as paying rent.Xu Xi knew how to make some pies, but he had some troubles, so he got up early in the morning to make them.As soon as it was ready, he saw Lu Haosheng coming out, so Xu Xi asked him to come over for breakfast.

"I can smell the fragrance in the room." Lu Haosheng said with a smile, after all, if he woke up late in the morning before, he would go to the company for a cup of coffee to deal with it, and he hasn't had breakfast for a long time.

"By the way, I really don't think about what I told you before." Lu Haosheng asked while holding the milk.

Xu Xi knew that what he was talking about was asking him to work in his company, but he didn't have any academic qualifications at all. If he went, it would definitely cause trouble for him. What's more, Xu Xi didn't want to get involved with him anymore. up.

"No need, I got a reply to the resume I submitted before, let me go for an interview today."

"Oh, that's it, I wish you success." Lu Haosheng was a little disappointed, but it passed in a flash. After all, there was not enough time. If there was a traffic jam along the way, he might be late. It's embarrassing to be late.

Seeing Lu Haosheng ate breakfast a few times and then went out with his clothes, Xu Xi also cheered up. Of course, what he said just now was not true. His resume was considered blank, and which company would want him.But I still have to keep looking for jobs, and there are always opportunities.Xu Xi cheered himself up, washed the dishes and then went out.

After wandering around for a long time, Xu Xi finally got an opportunity. A bookstore was short of manpower, and the boss felt that Xu Xi had the temperament of a scholar, so even though Xu Xi's resume was not perfect, he still allowed Xu Xi to stay for a trial. try.Xu Xi felt that he was really lucky. This job was the best job he had found in the past two days.Although the salary is not high, the work is relatively easy, and there is an opportunity to read books, which is really great.

Although a problem was solved, this job does not provide accommodation, Xu Xi has no money to rent a house, so he can only disturb Lu Haosheng, and move out as soon as he has money.

Xu Xi and the bookstore owner agreed that they could go to work tomorrow. Now that the work matter has been settled, it is natural to celebrate.Xu Xi sent a text message to Lu Haosheng, saying that he had found a job so he planned to cook a meal to celebrate, and by the way, it was also counted as a thank you for his help these days.Xu Xi bought fresh fish and vegetables at the vegetable market, and the vegetables he saw in Lu Haosheng's refrigerator were no longer fresh, so he bought all the vegetables he was going to make tonight before heading back.

The employees in the company today are very strange. Usually, the boss has to work overtime after work. He has never left work so punctually, and he seems to be in a hurry. It is really strange. The news came out, could it be that their golden bachelor with the highest salary has also begun to fall in love.

When Lu Haosheng received Xu Xi's text message today, he realized that he couldn't read anything. Seeing that the time finally reached five o'clock, he immediately took his clothes and went out.It was really depressing to think that I could go back early, but there was still a traffic jam on the road.

It was past six o'clock when we arrived at the apartment. As soon as Lu Haosheng entered the room, he saw Xu Xi busy in the kitchen. He couldn't tell what he felt, but he felt very warm, as if his apartment was finally filled with fireworks.

"You're back, you'll have to wait a while before eating, why don't you take a shower first." Xu Xi said while looking at the boiling fish soup, turning his body sideways.

Lu Haosheng also felt that it would be more comfortable to take a bath, so he took a change of clothes and walked to the bathroom.I came out in casual clothes, and the hair on my head was not dry yet, but now it is the hottest time, and it will dry after a while, and I won't catch a cold.

Xu Xi looked at the long-armed and long-legged Lu Haosheng, who obviously wore the simplest home clothes, but he looked like a model wearing them.Xu Xi quickly retracted his gaze and continued with the work in hand.

"What delicious food did you cook?" Lu Haosheng walked to the kitchen and asked, he didn't eat much at noon, and he was already hungry by now.

"I made fish with pickled cabbage, sweet and sour pork ribs, cola chicken wings, and some other side dishes." Xu Xi brought the prepared dishes to the table, and then the final dish of cola chicken wings was finished as soon as the juice was collected by the fire.

"Are you sure the two of us can finish eating so much?" Lu Haosheng said with some uncertainty.

"It seems to be a bit much, I forget it in a moment of excitement." Xu Xi said embarrassedly, he was only thinking about celebrating, but forgot that there were only two of them.

"It's okay, I have a good appetite." Lu Haosheng ate the ribs in front of him with chopsticks, and it seemed to taste quite good.

During the meal, Lu Haosheng asked Xu Xi about the job he was looking for, and after hearing it, he didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, this was Xu Xi's business, and it was not good for him to interfere too much.

"Well, can you lend me some money?" Xu Xi put down his chopsticks, and said with difficulty, if he could, he really didn't want to say that, but now that he has just found a job, it is possible to get a salary at all. The only way is to Like Lu Haosheng borrowed money.

"How much." Lu Haosheng became interested. These days, Xu Xi's personality is understood, and he knows that if he really has no other choice, he won't say this.

"Five thousand." In addition to the three thousand for my cousin, I also have to keep some money with me.

"I promise to pay you back as soon as I get paid, it won't be long." Seeing Lu Haosheng's silence, Xu Xi quickly added.

"I'll transfer it to your account later, but you don't have to rush to pay it back. How about it, you cook me breakfast and dinner every day, and I can eat at the company at noon. What do you think?"

Xu Xi knew that he didn't want to embarrass himself. After all, he was living in his house for nothing and asked him to borrow money. He was only cooking two meals, so he took advantage of it.

"Yes." Xu Xi agreed, but felt that he owed him more favors.

In the evening Xu Xi called his cousin 3000 yuan, and sent him a text message to tell him not to ask him to borrow money anymore. Since he came out, he has lent him no less than [-] yuan. I'm not a fool, and I'm not being taken advantage of, so even if the brother has something to say, it's better to say it clearly.

After solving this matter, Xu Xi lay on the bed, thinking about his current situation, and felt even more confused about the future.
