isolated plant

It was Aoki Faxiao and Jiang Zheng who made the call.

The two grew up in the same community. Except for kindergarten, elementary school, junior high school, and high school were all in the same class. Although the university was not in the same school, they had the same major.

Jiang Zheng went to other provinces for an internship in her senior year, and stayed there to work after graduation, returning home every New Year.

Aoki has always stayed in the local area, and the two rarely meet each other, occasionally video and voice chat, and never participate in each other's life.

Speaking of which, we haven't seen each other for almost a year.

Aoki once believed that Jiang Zheng was the closest to friendship, but the relationship between the two was too complicated.

Jiang Zheng is a Beta, and Aoki is an Alpha. The two stick together every day, and it is inevitable that they will be compared with each other.

It's more or less a relationship of mutual envy and mutual envy.

Contrary to Aoki's family, Jiang Zheng was born in a very happy family. He has no worries about food and clothing, and is well-loved. Although he is not rich and powerful, he is spoiled by his parents. Oneself, more or less will hurt Aoki.

Aoki always let him, sometimes really tired.

He always liked to be alone, and he might feel a bit against his will and feel uncomfortable with anyone.

The meeting place is the train station, or the freight department.

It's been three days since Jiang Zheng came back, but she hasn't gone home. She just stayed in City Y, and all her luggage has been mailed back. It seems that she doesn't plan to leave in the future.

Aoki is naturally very happy.

The two struggled to load their luggage into the taxi and went to Jiang Zheng's residence together.

Quite an old community, there is no elevator on the fifth floor, and the staff dormitory arranged by Jiangzheng Company.

It doesn't look like much from the outside, but I didn't expect the decoration inside to be quite good. There are three rooms, the kitchen and bathroom are not small, but the living room is a bit aggrieved.

Jiang Zheng lived in the largest room, with a double bed, a simple wardrobe and a bedside table. The furniture and the bed are matching, clean and tidy.

Aoki helped Jiang Zheng pack his luggage, and accidentally saw the tennis racket and guitar in the closet, thinking that he had a good life in the past few years.Jiang Zheng is a person who knows how to enjoy himself, and never wrongs himself, unlike Aoki, who has only focused on saving money to buy a house in the past few years, and has not cultivated any hobbies.

After tidying up in about an hour, the two went downstairs to a nearby supermarket to buy daily necessities.

Aoki stuffed the coins into the handrail of the shopping cart, pushed the shopping cart forward, and asked casually: "Why did you come back suddenly? I persuaded you before, but you were not moved."

This is true. After all, the two families live in the same community. Both parents know that the two children are very close. Every time Yang Limei calls Aoki, she will reveal some useful information.

Children are struggling outside. Although parents are worried and miss their children, they always report good news but not bad ones.

Once, Jiang Zheng's father accidentally injured his eyes in the factory and almost lost his sight. Jiang Zheng often called his parents, but he didn't know about it.

Aoki mentioned it to Jiang Zheng, if life is not good in other provinces, it will be fine when he comes back. He is young and has a lot of job opportunities. Omega girlfriends, all separated because of financial problems.

In other words, Jiang Zheng couldn't afford a RV in other provinces, and it would be a little better when he came back.

But Jiang Zheng didn't think so. Living alone in other places, he had long forgotten about his parents' pension issues.

Jiang Zheng lamented the price gap, and replied: "Well, I won't go back, I just came back because of a job transfer." Putting his hand on Aoki's shoulder, he said: "Brother, congratulate me quickly, I have been promoted, and now I am The store manager of Beloved."

Beloved is a high-end diamond ring brand, and Aoki subconsciously thought of Shengfei Shopping Mall.

Sure enough, Jiang Zheng, in Aoki's astonishment, smiled and said: "The Beloved store on the first floor of Shengfei Shopping Mall, I work there. When you propose to buy a diamond ring in the future, remember to ask me, I will give you a [-]% discount."

Aoki froze for a moment, and was happy for Jiang Zheng from the bottom of his heart.

"If I invite you to dinner that night, it's a celebration for you."

Jiang Zheng looked distressed: "I have something to do in the evening, why don't I just buy some food in the supermarket, the kitchen is available, so just eat whatever you want."

Aoki smiled and said yes, and the two walked to the vegetables and fresh produce area.

Jiang Zheng asked about Aoki's recent situation, and learned that Aoki was renting a house, and planned to stay in a hotel these days, so he asked Aoki to live in his place first, anyway, the bed was big enough.Although the other two colleagues are still here with their luggage, they have already gone out to live and basically never come back.

Aoki thought about it, but did not refuse.

One is long time no see, just chatting.

The second is that he really doesn't like staying in hotels. Five-star hotels are not a long-term solution. The environment of hotels and small chain hotels is worrying. Although he is not serious about cleanliness, he doesn't like living in places that change owners every night.

After buying vegetables and returning to the rental house, Aoki rolled up his sleeves and was about to go into the kitchen to cook, but was stopped by Jiang Zheng.

Jiang Zheng closed the sliding door of the kitchen, leaving only a crack, and said to Aoki with a smile, "I'm learning to cook recently."

Aoki felt strange and didn't ask any more questions.

Jiang Zheng doesn't know how to cook. During the past few years of working in other provinces, he either ate takeout or went to restaurants. Aoki often heard him complain.

Jiang Zheng is the kind of person who will never wrong himself no matter when, where, or under what circumstances. Even if he eats alone, he has to eat expensively. In the previous videos, he was often seen eating steak at high-end western restaurants , and complained that the wages were not enough.

Aoki simply returned to Jiang Zheng's room, took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, played puzzle games for a while, and then read the rental information.

Chu Feimu's WeChat message was sent at this time.

[It's not safe to live outside, first live in my house, if you don't want to see me, I'll live outside. 】

Aoki didn't come back, he has to vacate the house tonight, there is indeed no place to put his luggage, it is not suitable to fly Jiang Zheng, and it may not be possible to put it.

While hesitating, Chu Feimu sent another WeChat message.

[If you don't reply, I'll take it as your agreement, and I'll move your things to my house now. 】

Aoki was completely speechless, Chu Feimu was indeed a master who said nothing.

I had no choice but to send back a WeChat message: [I live at a friend's house. 】

This time it was Chu Feimu who would not return.

Aoki made a call to the intermediary, but the intermediary hesitated and hawed, it seemed that the efficiency of the work was not very high, or it might be unprofitable and passive.

Buying a house and renting a house are completely two concepts, and the commission is also different.

When buying a house, the intermediary should be as attentive as possible. No matter it is windy or rainy, the agent will show you the house on time. Renting a house is different. It is either perfunctory or negligent.

It seems that the intermediary is hopeless.

After hanging up the phone, Aoki continued to browse the rental information, and accidentally saw a house, 1000 yuan per month, a large single room, ready to live with a bag, the picture is a high-rise, the community environment is not bad, and the layout of the house just sold is very similar.

Aoki watched Jiang Zheng put the dishes on the small square table, mouthed that he was on the phone, and then called the landlord.

The person who answered the phone was unexpectedly young, very polite and polite. Aoki made an appointment with him to see the house tomorrow.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Zheng dug out a few thick books from his luggage and threw them on the ground casually. Aoki picked one up and took a look: ""The Book of Introduction to the Examination of Zhuhui"?"

Jiang Zheng put the book under his butt indifferently, motioned for Aoki to sit down, sitting on the floor with the book in between was not cold at all, but he was in a weird mood.

Aoki thought for a while and asked: "Is this book no longer needed?"

Jiang Zheng sneered: "It's no longer needed."

Aoki then asked: "Are you still taking the exam?"

Jiang Zheng said in a nonchalant manner: "Well, what kind of teacher qualification certificate did you take, it's a mess, I can't remember."

Aoki looked at the four dishes and one soup on the table, it looked good, but he didn't know how it tasted.

Jiang Zheng took the lead in eating the white clams on the table. This season is just right, the clams are tender and plump.

Aoki doesn't eat seafood, so he resolutely avoids white clams and chooses mixed vegetables. The taste is mediocre, but it is made by Jiang Zheng after all, so he ate a few more mouthfuls for the sake of face.

Jiang Zheng babbled about the white clams, not forgetting to comment: "This white clams are not bad, the taste is very good, you should try it too."

Aoki nodded with a smile, he was too lazy to explain that he didn’t eat seafood, he only said it once to everyone he knew well, and he remembered it if he remembered it, and he wouldn’t repeat it if he couldn’t remember it. Emphasis is a bit of a disappointment.

Jiang Zheng wiped his hands with a wet paper towel, and sighed: "Tell me, how interesting are our two science students, both majoring in finance. You have become a small supervisor in the office, and you are still a private company. Me, hey He even became the manager of a jewelry store. Who would have thought that? If I knew that I would grow up to be this kind of virtue when I was young, it would be better to drop out of high school and enter the society early, so as not to be forced by my parents to marry and have children as soon as I leave college. .”

Aoki picked up a piece of chicken wing, gnawed it slowly, and persuaded: "You can't say that, I think it's good now, it's all about making money with your own hard work, it's not easy for everyone, just work hard, do your best, why think so much? "

Then he added a sentence unhurriedly: "Life is not like a dream, you can have a perfect ending within a few hours, take your time, there is no need to rush, every journey is an experience."

"It's true to say that, but I'm a bit unwilling. You know the short, fat guy in the dormitory next door to the high school?"

Aoki vaguely remembered that there was such a person, because he always wore red and blue striped clothes, had a big head, and was short in stature. At that time, someone nicknamed him Mickey.

Aoki tentatively asked: "Mickey?"

Jiang Zheng clapped her hands: "Yes, that's the one who bothers Mickey."

Aoki responded with little interest.

Jiang Zheng casually picked the white clam shells on the table, and said unconvinced: "It's just Mickey, who got married after graduation, married a rich second-generation Omega, made rapid progress, opened a furniture factory, lived in a villa and drove a luxury car. "

Aoki saw that Jiang Zheng was not very happy, but he was not interested in other people's lives, so he replied casually: "They are all from the same high school, and everyone's choice is different."

Jiang Zheng didn't think so, and smiled unnaturally: "Why should he?"

Aoki advises: "Everyone has advantages and disadvantages. He can achieve what he is today, and he must have something special. We can't see it, but it doesn't mean he doesn't have it. And luck, opportunity, or those qualities that we were not optimistic about , is also part of the success."

Jiang Zheng continued: "The gangsters who used to fight in high school are now policemen, and those who didn't pass the college exams become doctors. This world is very interesting."

Aoki comforted: "Don't worry about others, just live your own life. Luck is also a part of success. If you are not so lucky, then just keep your mouth shut and work hard like ordinary people. Why do you want to make yourself unhappy?"

Jiang Zheng felt that it was not pleasant to talk about this topic with Aoki. He wanted to complain about life and curse life together with Aoki, but Aoki's thoughts were completely different from his.

So Jiang Zheng changed the subject: "How are you doing recently? Are you still single?"

Aoki didn't want to ruin his friend's mood when he came back because of his own affairs, so he smiled gently and naturally: "I'm single, I'm fine. What about you? Have you got a girlfriend?"

Aoki knew Jiang Zheng's preferences to some extent.

Under normal circumstances, Beta will choose Beta, without interference from pheromones, Aoki used to be very envious.

But Jiang Zheng has always liked female Omega, and so have all the previous girlfriends he has dated. He thinks that such a girlfriend will have a face.

With chicken wings in his mouth, Jiang Zheng mumbled, "Do you still remember Liu Ruhua?"
