Today, for an average office worker, is a normal, ordinary, yet busy Monday. Some say that the prosperity of a city depends on its rush hour; during peak hours, even on the sidewalk, no one dares to cross against the flow of traffic. Other things aren't a concern, but being delayed is definitely a given.
As usual, Bao Yu would be rushing to work at this time. But just now, she received a call from her boss: the company was going bankrupt due to illegal business operations. As a result, Bao Yu was forced to lose her job.
Having hurriedly gotten up early and not yet eaten, Bao Yu suddenly felt a little lost without a goal to strive for. She sat alone in the square, staring blankly at the hurried crowds.
But soon, Bao Yu stood up again. She picked up her phone and started looking for another job on a recruitment website.
The company went bankrupt before she even received her salary this month. This means that with a monthly salary of less than 3,000 yuan, if she doesn't have any income this month, she might not even have enough for living expenses next month.
Bao Yu was raised by her grandparents from a young age. Her parents divorced and remarried when she was very young. It wasn't that her parents didn't want to take care of her; it's just that, having experienced the harsh realities of life from a young age, she knew that neither family truly belonged to her. She had no reason to, and never intended to, disturb her parents' new lives.
As it turned out, Bao Yu was right; at least, her parents never missed a payment for her living expenses before graduation. However, after graduation, Bao Yu never touched the card that had been used to send her money again. She could understand her parents, but she couldn't let go of the resentment.
Similarly, she couldn't ask the elderly for living expenses. Therefore, unable to get angry and with no time to complain, she began to search for and make phone interviews.
And so, Bao Yu was so busy all day that she forgot to eat.
Around 4 PM, this was Bao Yu's sixth company interview. Because Bao Yu lacked relevant experience, she was told to go home and wait for further news. In fact, Bao Yu understood that this meant she wasn't a suitable candidate.
With a sigh, Bao Yu decided to keep looking for the next job. However, when she turned on her phone, it had run out of battery after a long day of work. Left with no other option, Bao Yu had to return to her rented apartment to charge it before continuing.
Fortunately, Bao Yu's rented apartment wasn't far from here. When she was looking for a job, Bao Yu chose one that was close to where she lived.
Bao Yu rented a house in an urban village. What is an urban village? Simply put, it's a village within a city. Because it hasn't been developed, the houses have been converted from residential buildings for rent. The rent is naturally much cheaper, but the security is relatively much worse.
However, precisely because the rent is cheap, this area is also the most bustling place within a hundred miles, remaining extremely noisy even in the middle of the night. If it weren't for the constraints, Bao Yu wouldn't have chosen to rent a place here.
The various snacks and aromas wafting through the air reminded Bao Yu that she hadn't eaten yet. However, since her phone was off and she couldn't pay, she could only rub her hungry stomach and head home.
But just as she was about to reach the last step of the fifth floor and return to her room, her legs gave way and she tumbled down the stairs. Her head hit the wall at the corner of the stairs, and she lost consciousness.
Before fainting, Bao Yu's last thought was that this would probably cost a lot of money again.
