Reborn Petty Citizen

Zhang Ze's school is located in Jianguo South Road, Bucheng District, Huaixing City.Walk along the river, about one street away from Zhongshan Road in the city center.

It was the distance of this one street that dragged a beautiful urban area into a dead end.Even though there are several Xiaochugao in the downtown area, they still haven't brought much prosperity to the urban area.But it's not surprising to say that, based on the school district system of Huaixing City, those who go to school in Bucheng District are usually residents of the same district.Although the high school can absorb students from all corners of the country, the purchasing power of the students is really hard to match that of the adults. There are few people from outside the district, and the urban area is naturally deserted.

Therefore, the prosperity of the commercial street here cannot even reach two or three out of ten of the city center. Except for catering, other businesses such as clothing and accessories have no chance to grow. Most of the local homeowners set up their own stalls to earn some money. Small money is self-sufficient.The status is no different than the suburbs.

But no one knew better than Zhang Ze that the deserted situation in Bucheng could not last for too long.

Huaixing City is about to usher in the peak of development. Driven by the market economy, a large number of foreign workers will flood into the city. When everything is on the right track, the value of all non-renewable materials in this city will rise rapidly.And the port city will become a topic that people in the future will talk about.How many nouveau riche have been created in such a previously unknown urban area. Many people in the urban area who have made a fortune have lost themselves in the trap of getting rich overnight by relying on demolition and multiplied real estate.For a period of time, the word "Bucheng District" was a noun used by people in Huaixing City to ridicule the nouveau riche.As long as Huaixing City takes the pace of development, this piece of land that no one cares about now will soon become worth every penny.

If Zhang Ze has the ability, he will try to get a share of the urban reconstruction plan that has not yet emerged. If he has the capital, he can also buy a lot of real estate and wait for a comeback. It's a pity that he is just an ordinary citizen , he is not even an adult yet, and he doesn't have any means to make himself rich overnight.All he can do is try to persuade his parents to accumulate wealth, which is even more difficult than making up his own mind, because many times, his parents will only laugh at the advice he urgently confides.

Fortunately, under his encouragement, Zhang's mother finally gained confidence in opening the store. After a few days, the family also got a lot of useful information.Zhang Ze wrote down all the house sales information he knew at hand. The address, area, decoration level, age of the building and price, the pros and cons are clear at a glance.

However, although the current housing prices in Bucheng District are lower than those in Hebin District, it is only on the platform of the same city.Compared with the 10 yuan in Liyu Village, where a building can be erected from the ground, it is definitely far behind.In particular, what they are looking for is still a commercial shop, and the price is higher than that of a residential house.Although Zhang's mother is determined to start a business, she still shrinks after seeing the monthly rent of the shop and the planned cost of the shop.It seems that she picked a 700-square-meter shop downstairs facing the street, which costs [-] yuan a month and [-] cents for electricity. If she wants to buy it, the old lady of the landlord asks for [-] square meters. It can also be won at [-] to [-].

But Zhang's mother is not planning to buy a house. Rao Zhang Ze is very eloquent, and she doesn't think it is a wise decision to put all her eggs in one basket.She has never been an impulsive person, and there is no plug-in like Zhang Ze who has witnessed the development. Of course, she only wants to move steadily and slowly.But Zhang Ze felt too troubled by such a nonchalant attitude.

What he was looking for was a store not far from Zhang's mother's favorite target, with a total area of ​​120 square meters, and there was an attic built by the original owner inside. If necessary, a second floor could even be separated.Because of the large area, the monthly rent is [-] more than Zhang's mother's fancy room, but if it is sold whole, the unit price is lower than the [-]-square-meter room.

Such a large store is not easy to sell in the urban area, and the area has become a flaw in the trading market. The money is too expensive these days. Compared with the small store that can be bought for [-] to [-], the price of a large store will be much higher. Those who are interested are daunted.

But Zhang Ze knows how to be a white wolf with nothing. Loans are fine. Loans are a tasteless thing in later generations, but for him at present, they are rare and good things.It's just that I don't have a suitable time to persuade my mother to follow my opinion.

These days, because school has just started, Zhang Ze is worried that Zhang Ti will be bullied in the new school, and usually takes a detour to find Zhang Ti to go home with him.No. [-] Middle School is not far from No. [-] Middle School, and get out of class ends a little later, so the siblings usually have just enough time to meet each other.

Worrying about the opening of the store in his mind, Zhang Ze was more bored than usual, and he buried himself in packing his things as soon as the school bell rang.The school building of No. [-] Middle School is very dilapidated, and the desks and chairs are also very old. Books must be taken home according to the regulations, otherwise the unlocked gate is completely unable to prevent thieves.As a high school with the highest enrollment rate, the learning atmosphere in No. [-] Middle School has become tense from the freshmen, and a large number of practice files and digital foreign language references will be distributed along with the school books when enrolling.A huge schoolbag will eventually be stuffed to the point that it cannot hold a pen. One can imagine how terrible the weight is.

As a nerd, Zhang Ze really has nothing to worry about studying. He has been working for so long after graduation, and he is still deeply impressed by the knowledge he has learned when he gets back the books.So he focused his current studies on interpersonal communication, staring at those classmates who had many friends in the class every day to learn from them, and finally realized a truth - if you want to have more friends, you must first be able to speak well, and second, you must be charismatic. Three must be responsive.

Being able to speak well and respond quickly is estimated to be some distance away from Zhang Ze, and what he can touch so far is probably his personal charm.Zhang Ze remembered that Chen Cong and Cheng Jizhong once said that when he sat quietly somewhere and smiled and stared at them, there would be a Buddha's light behind him... Although the description was a bit exaggerated, one time Zhang Ze took a full-length mirror and observed it for himself. I also found that my appearance is indeed quite stylish.

Du Xingzhi used to be like this. When discussing business, no matter whether he was at home or not, as long as Da Ma sat down on the stool, the eyes of others would involuntarily go to him.People who have met him tend to trust him before they have a deep friendship. When the company was financing, how many people willingly went bankrupt because of his words... Even now Zhang Ze is determined to keep him at a respectful distance, but he has to admit that in He has a natural advantage in this regard.

Zhang Ze laughed at the friendship in his memory that had not yet broken down, and his smile was half nostalgic and half sad.To Du Xingzhi, he has devoted his heart and soul to him, and even regards him as a more important family member than his parents.If it hadn't been for the ordeal he experienced before his death, he might never have discovered that this friendship was just shaving his head to make a hot head.

Someone patted his shoulder suddenly, and Zhang Ze, who was caught in the memory, couldn't help but startled, and turned around suddenly, he found that Chen Cong and Gong Shili were standing behind their shoulders and looking at him with a smile.

"Let's go together?" Chen Cong stretched out his hand and picked Zhang Ze's chin, "Oh, you have such a nice smile, why don't you stop smiling?"

Zhang Ze patted his hand away.These children from official families are more capable than this uncle at a young age.Even though his real age is dozens of years old, Zhang Ze still often feels that he is lacking in heart in front of them.In his previous life, Zhang Ze stayed in No. [-] Middle School for almost a year before discovering this reality. Since then, he has become more inferior and cautious.But Zhang Ze in this life is different, what is there to be afraid of?Say less and make less mistakes, greet people with a smile, remember these two things, even if you don't have a deep friendship with him, no one will find him annoying for no reason.

He is good at smiling quietly, knowing that Chen Cong is playing with him, Zhang Ze doesn't care about him touching his face, can he still be taken advantage of if he is a man?He put away his schoolbag, put one hand on his shoulder, and said slowly, "I'm going to pick up my sister, are you two going together?"

Gong Shili reached out and snatched Zhang Ze's schoolbag and held it in his hand: "Go, why don't you go. We don't know your sister yet, so it's good to say hello." This kid is so good-looking, his sister Don't look like a fairy?Just thinking about the picture of the two Guanyin standing side by side, Gong Shili's saliva will almost hang on his feet.

Zhang Ze raised his eyebrows: "What are you doing with my schoolbag?"

Gong Shili glanced at his thin body among his peers, and bumped into Chen Cong. Chen Cong said quickly, "Take care of him. He likes to balance the weight of his hands. He used to always carry a pole in the compound. play."

Gong Shili's face darkened.

Zhang Ze didn't talk much, but Gong Shili and Chen Cong never stood coldly when they got together. They made fun of each other, and occasionally gossip about other people's secrets.For example, in the third year of high school, a certain senior girl pursued a certain senior and was ruthlessly rejected, or a certain student in the same grade was as defiant as ever. XX has already expressed her dissatisfaction with him, and it is estimated that the two will meet soon.

Zhang Ze couldn't help but feel ashamed. He was really lagging behind in absorbing outside news. He had met the so-and-so they were talking about a few times, but he never felt that the other party was arrogant.In his previous life, he spent three years in this school, except for the university admission letter and his friend Du Xingzhi, he got almost nothing.This kind of dull personality inherited from his father is quite a hindrance in the city, and Zhang Ze has suffered a lot for it.It's like he was admitted to the civil service after graduating from university, but after entering the unit, he didn't understand the undercurrent and turbulent partisan disputes in the unit, so he always got shot while lying down.Both opposing sides regard him as the enemy camp, and his colleagues who joined the job at the same time have been promoted step by step, but he has been standing still for several years.But the dullness brought about by nature is not easy to change. Even now, Zhang Ze has no confidence to hear the deep meaning of those people's words.

So he is destined not to eat public meals, and it is the most affordable to be his own boss.

The three of them walked very fast, and when they arrived at the gate of the No. [-] Middle School, the school was not over yet.Gong Shili leaned against the school gate and lit a cigarette, looking at the clean and spacious school building of the No. [-] Middle School with a bitter expression on his face: "Fuck, compared with them, what kind of life are we living!"

The No. [-] Middle School is old and the building is old. The city government has long planned to allocate funds for renovation, but due to various reasons, the plan cannot be implemented.It's also hard for Gong Shili and the others from rich families to sit in the dilapidated school building in good looks, cold in winter and hot in summer, which is very annoying.

Zhang Ze glanced at the vigilant school security guard, and kicked Gong Shili: "Pull the cigarette, and be careful not to be treated as a bastard."

Gong Shili stared at him, pursed his lips and smiled, the cigarette in his hand was directly slapped away by Chen Cong.He clicked his tongue and pointed his nostrils at Chen Cong with a bad look on his face, and when they were about to spray each other with poison, Seventh Middle School finally got out of school.

A large number of students who poured out were noisy, and the three luminous bodies of Zhang Ze and Chen Cong attracted a lot of attention.Many female students gathered together with blushing faces and whispered together. The No. [-] Middle School has an open school spirit, and soon a group of pushing and shoving people gathered in the distance to watch.

Zhang Ze didn’t feel anything wrong with his rough nerves. From the day he waited for Zhang Ti to leave school, there seemed to be so many people in No. [-] Middle School. Think deeply about why the school gate is so lively after school.

The appearance of Zhang Ti disappointed Gong Shili and the others who were looking forward to it. Their ideal goddess full of fairy spirit and fluttering in white was just a delicate girl with slightly dark skin. Feeling lost, they walked out along the way, and the two bid farewell to sister and brother Zhang Ze without much regret.

After they left, Zhang Ti became more at ease, and raised her head that had been hanging down. She bumped into Zhang Ze and said in embarrassment: "Ze, don't come to pick me up from now on. I've been asked to deliver letters to you these days." .”

"Send a letter?" Zhang Ze blinked blankly, "Is there anyone I know?"

A blush rose on Zhang Ti's face, and she stomped her feet: "Oh, I'll give it to you later, it's in my schoolbag, and you'll know it after reading it." She thought for a while, and added, "Don't tell Mom that yes I handed it to you."

She is now much more cheerful than when she was in the village. When she was at the school gate just now, a group of close female classmates bid farewell to her. Obviously, she has adapted well in the new school.Zhang Ze stroked her head with rough hair and finally felt relieved. Just as he was about to say something, someone called his name at the gate of the compound.

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be Grandma Hu who helped Zhang's mother find a job. Zhang Ze smiled and nodded, "Grandma Hu is good."

Grandma Hu was holding a basket of water chestnuts and was peeling them with a knife. She just loved seeing Zhang Ze and his brother's quiet and well-behaved appearance. Hearing his greetings, she liked it even more. Said: "Is there a guest at home? Your Uncle Hu brought it to me from another place the day before yesterday. It was so sweet. Take it back and ask your mother to make it for the guests."

guest?

Zhang Ze raised his eyebrows, not expecting any guests from his house to visit, so he smiled at her, and hurried home with his sister.
