"Uncle, if you have anything, just tell me directly!"

Zhuang Zhou mustered up the courage to ask directly.

In fact, the voice was already trembling!

"Hey! Xiaozhuang, your father has bone cancer and is now in Lingshui County Hospital..."

"But don't worry, he's already been admitted to the hospital..."

"In fact, I have to thank your high school classmate. She took care of the hospitalization procedures."

Zhuang Zhou was suddenly struck by lightning.

Dad has bone cancer?

How is this possible?

But my uncle would definitely not lie to me.

There is also my mother's behavior just now, and what my father said on the phone.

Zhuang Zhou was already certain that this was definitely true.

Dad is worried that his affairs will affect him.

That's why I decided not to tell you.

But how could such a big thing not be known to me?

no!

I have to hurry back!

"Uncle, I'll buy the ticket now and come back tomorrow."

Zhuang Zhou made up his mind to buy a ticket tonight and try to get back early tomorrow morning.

But.

I only have 169.65 yuan on me now.

There is not even enough money to buy a high-speed train ticket.

Urgent! Urgent!

If it really doesn’t work, why not borrow some from a classmate?

I picked up my phone and started calling my classmates:

"Hey, Chen Wei, I've been in trouble lately. Can you lend me five hundred dollars for this emergency?"

"Um, my salary hasn't been paid for three months! I don't have any money now. Why don't you talk to Zhang Yu? He must have money."

Zhuang Zhou called Zhang Yu again.

"Hey, bro, what have you been doing lately?"

After a round of greetings, Zhang Yu was also quite enthusiastic:

"I'm just busy. Let's have a drink together when we have time!"

"Okay! By the way, do you have any money? Can you lend me five hundred dollars for an emergency?"

Zhuang Zhou asked directly.

"money?"

Zhang Yu's voice paused:

"Buddy, money is tight too. My girlfriend pestered me to buy her an iPhone 18 yesterday..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhuang Zhou asked in confusion:

"Huh? Didn't you just break up in your Moments post yesterday?"

Beep, beep, beep——

The other party hung up the phone.

Zhuang Zhou made a few more calls, but the results made him feel cold.

When he was at his lowest point, none of those who used to be his brothers came to his aid.

In the end, he had no choice but to call Qian Duoduo.

"Hey! Fatty, are you asleep?"

Qian Duoduo is Zhuang Zhou's college roommate.

After graduating from university, this guy used his connections to get a job in human resources at the Golden Hammer Group.

Golden Hammer Group is a large company ranked among the top 100 in China.

Headquartered in Kyoto, it not only deals in jewelry, but also has companies in film and television, hotels, auctions, antiques and cultural relics.

Qian Duoduo joined the Qingdu branch of the Golden Hammer Group.

This guy originally studied architectural design, which is a complete mismatch in his major.

"What the hell are you doing sleeping? Young people should have fun! Why are you calling? Do you want to come and play with us?"

It was very noisy over there at Qian Duoduo's place, obviously they were in an entertainment venue.

"No, well, I want to lend you five hundred dollars, is that okay?"

"Five hundred?"

"Yes, five hundred dollars for an emergency."

"How dare you ask for five hundred...Wait a minute, I'll transfer one thousand to you."

After hanging up the phone, Qian Duoduo transferred one thousand yuan to me.

Zhuang Zhou clicked to receive the payment and sent a thank you expression.

"Thank you so much, Fatty. Your money has solved my urgent need..."

"It's okay. What's wrong with you? Haven't found a job yet?"

"Well, it's hard to find a job now. Many companies are laying off employees."

"It's okay, you're young, so take it slow!"

After the two finished chatting, Zhuang Zhou opened the ticket purchasing app to check the ticket information.

fine!

Have a ticket.

But the earliest one will be at 3:15 pm tomorrow, and it will be around 7 pm when we arrive in the county town.

Never mind, let’s book the tickets first!

Thinking of his father, Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but laugh at himself.

When I went home for the Chinese New Year last year, Zhuang Zhou drank with his father and said, "After I graduate from university next year, you won't have to worry about me anymore."

I can handle things in life by myself.

Then.

It has been more than three months since I left school in June this year.

I didn't find a job either.

Even the five thousand yuan I saved from tutoring and part-time jobs in college is almost gone.

I thought I could hold on until I found a job.

But who knows.

How did the employment environment become like this now?

Zhuang Zhou still remembers that when he was filling out his university application, civil engineering was still a popular major!

It's only been four years and it's already a sunset industry.

Things have changed and people have changed!

He walked to the window and lit the last purple cloud.

This pack of Ziyun was bought two months ago.

Whenever I feel upset.

Zhuang Zhou couldn't help but light up one.

He took a deep breath and looked out the window through the smoke.

In the distance are tall buildings and bright lights.

In this bustling night market, how many people are living a life of drunkenness and how many are struggling for their lives.

"One day, I will live my life freely!"

but.

Right now, I have to find a job quickly and support myself.

[Beep! Host, are you willing to sign a lifelong contract?]

Only then did Zhuang Zhou remember about the system!

After his first time-traveling experience, Zhuang Zhou realized that reselling supplies through time-travel was definitely risky.

But it’s profitable!

Besides, I don’t have a job now.
