After discussing the plan, Lin Minjun splashed cold water on her face and returned to the private room.
Before entering the box, I took a deep breath and walked in.
When I went in, all the educated youth were already there, but there were only about ten of them. The party had already begun and everyone was chatting animatedly.
Those sitting here have lived in Yunnan for many years. After returning to the capital, they have difficulty adapting to life or work. Only the educated youth friends who returned with them can understand the depression they feel at this time.
A group of educated youth complained to each other, saying that they couldn't get along with their colleagues at work after returning to the capital, or that they felt they were still young when they left. This time, their whole family seemed to be in a hurry to send them away, and they kept urging them to arrange blind dates.
One of the educated youth named Jiang Quan sighed, "You are lucky. You have a job and your family has arranged blind dates for you. Look at me. I am still waiting in line at the educated youth office, not to mention blind dates. My family conditions are too poor. There is not even a girl willing to go on a blind date with me."
The other educated youth who had been complaining remained silent.
Maybe he didn't feel it when he was in Yunnan, but when he returned to the capital, there was a gap between everyone, and if he continued to talk about it, it would become a sign of arrogance.
For a moment, everyone's topic turned to Lin Minjun. After all, Lin Minjun was rescued from the hellish pit of her hometown by everyone's concerted efforts. To them, Lin Minjun was like a little sister.
Jiang Quan asked, "Little Jun, aren't you selling fried potatoes at a stall now? Is this business profitable? Can it support you?"
This sentence just allows Lin Minjun to start her plan ahead of time. She wants to start luring Shen Hongyu out of the hole slowly.
Zhao Ning was extremely nervous and squeezed Lin Minjun's hand under the table.
Logically, Lin Minjun should not reveal her wealth, but this time she not only revealed it, but also deliberately exaggerated it.
Lin Minjun smiled and said, "I didn't expect that business in the capital would be so good. My business is doing well, and it's not a problem for me to support myself."
Having said that, everyone's curiosity was aroused.
"How much money did you earn? Quite a lot, right?" Jiang Quan came over curiously.
Lin Minjun: "Well, a few dozen yuan." She looked like a country girl who didn't understand the market, and asked innocently, "Is this a lot or a little? You guys who have formal jobs should earn more than me, right?"
Everyone's smiles turned bitter. They are still in the probation period and can earn less than 30 yuan a month at most, while Xiao Ajun has earned dozens of yuan in ten days. It's really frustrating to compare yourself with others.
However, the other educated youth were only envious in their hearts and then stopped. There was only one person who clenched his hands into fists under the table and didn't even notice that his palms were scratched by his fingernails.
This person is of course Shen Hongyu. Her family conditions can only be described as middle to lower. Her father is the only formal employee in the family, and she has two younger brothers who are crying for food. Of course, there is no way to arrange a job for her. Now she is waiting at home for the Youth League Office to arrange a job for her. Now she hears that Lin Minjun has made so much money in just a few days. How can Shen Hongyu be happy? How can she not be jealous?
Shen Hongyu had to exert great effort to make her expression less fierce. She took a deep breath and her face regained its gentle look.
"Yes, those of us with formal jobs don't earn as much as you do. You are really capable, little Jun." Shen Hongyu praised him first, and then said, "It's a pity that our Jun is so capable, but he is not from the capital. He can't get a hukou here, and can't buy a house. In the future, he will inevitably have to go back to Qujing. I really feel sorry for you."
When she said this, there was a hint of pity in her expression, as well as a hidden sense of superiority, but no one thought too much about it. After all, Hongyu was such a gentle, generous, and sensible girl when she was in Yunnan, so it was normal for her to feel sorry for little Ajun.
Can’t register your residence?
Lin Minjun followed her words and began to make up stories, saying calmly, "When you mentioned the household registration, I remembered something. I met a kind person when I came to the capital a few days ago. She told me that as long as I had a house to live in, I could get a household registration. Her family happened to be allocated a house in Dongcheng."
Everyone's curiosity was aroused and they looked at Lin Minjun without blinking.
Lin Minjun smiled and continued, "It just so happens that this kindhearted person and I are particularly compatible. She said that if I can come up with 500 yuan, she will let me move into her house. In this way, won't I be able to settle down in the capital? I calculated that I can earn more than 100 yuan a month, and I happen to have some savings. I will probably be able to settle down after the New Year."
"Wow, you are so lucky." Jiang Quan was stunned. "Don't you think so? What kind of luck is this?"
Everyone else nodded, and for a moment they were all shocked and envious. But then they changed their minds and thought that Jun's life was so pitiful, and it was her good fortune to meet such a kind person, so they all became happy.
"You are indeed lucky, but there are no traps in the world, right?" Shen Hongyu's smile was a little forced. "Can this kind-hearted person be trusted, Jun? As far as I know, housing is very tight right now. Who would be willing to let you settle down just by meeting you once? Although they pay, can a capital city residence be measured by money? Why are they so nice to you?"
She suddenly cried out in surprise and deliberately said, "Could this kind-hearted person be a man? You can't agree to it. Nowadays, many old bachelors who can't find a wife like to use their city hukou to cheat young girls into giving them their bodies. You can't be fooled."
It was originally a good thing, but after she said that, I suddenly felt disgusted.
Luo Lin almost couldn't sit still, "Ajun, don't be impulsive! Is this kind-hearted person reliable? Otherwise, I'll just help you find a job."
"No need." Lin Minjun continued to make up stories, sneering in her heart, but still looking innocent on the outside. "This kindhearted person is an old widow, she has no children. I will move my household registration there, and I will be able to take care of her when she gets old."
"That's good. Hongyu, don't think too much about it. What bad intentions could an old widow have? I guess she just saw that Minjun is a good match and wanted to adopt her as a godson to take care of her in her old age. In my opinion, this is a good deal. She can get a residence permit in the capital in exchange for old age. That's a lot of money." Someone said.
Shen Hongyu forced a smile and said nothing more, her anger almost boiling over in her heart.
How come Lin Minjun is so lucky? In her previous life, she married Lu Deping. Even a hen that doesn't lay eggs became a rich wife and has no worries about food and clothing.
Although she broke up with Lu Deping, she actually met a kind-hearted person and was able to settle down there.
Because what Lin Minjun said was so true, and almost every word she said touched upon Shen Hongyu's jealousy, making her realize that Lin Minjun had really met a kind person and would have to stay in the capital forever!
How could this be possible? Shen Hongyu felt jealous and realized that she had to find a way to stop this immediately.
She wanted to marry Lu Deping, but Lu Deping obviously couldn't let go of Lin Minjun. Both of them were in Beicheng, so it was inevitable that he couldn't forget her.
So after thinking about it, just when everyone was marveling at Lin Minjun's good luck, Shen Hongyu quickly stood up and said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do at home. I'll leave first. You guys continue eating."
"What's the matter? How about I see you off?" Jiang Quan saw the goddess of his dreams was about to leave, so he stood up quickly to see her off, trying to show his hospitality to win her favor.
Once a lie is told, another lie must be used to cover it up. Shen Hongyu subconsciously said, "It's not a big deal. My little brother didn't eat at home. I'll go home and cook for him. You guys eat, don't worry about me."
After saying that, she waved her hands, opened the door of the private room and went out. Jiang Quan chased her for two steps but failed to catch up. He was reluctant to leave the delicious food at Huguo Hotel, so he walked over again with his head down, "It's strange, we still have some food on the table, just bring some back to your brother when the time comes. It's snowing outside, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
Shen Hongyu's departure did not make anyone feel anything was wrong, as others were still asking questions about the house settlement issue.
Jiang Quan sat down and asked anxiously, "Xiao Ajun, does your kind-hearted man need someone to take care of him? I have a cousin who is looking for a job in the North City. We can give him money so that he can get his hukou registered."
"Let's talk about this later. I have something to do here, so I have to leave first." Lin Minjun calculated the time and saw that Shen Hongyu had probably already left the hotel, so she quickly stood up.
Zhao Ning followed and said, "I will go back with Jun."
"What's going on between you two? Hongyu left, and you have to leave too. What big deal can Ajun have when he just came to Beicheng? Don't leave yet, let's sit down and talk." Jiang Quan drank some wine and said with a big tongue, "Don't leave. I haven't finished asking questions yet. Just tell me, where does that kind person live and what is her name? Is her house big? Is it possible to register my cousin there? My cousin is squeezing into the same room with me now, and it's suffocating me."
"Let's talk about it next time. I really have to leave." Lin Minjun was still in a hurry to catch Shen Hongyu's behavior, so of course she didn't want to stay and continue talking nonsense.
Jiang Quan tried to stop her several times but failed. Seeing that Lin Minjun was about to leave, he suddenly got angry and started to talk nonsense. "What's wrong, Jun? I just wanted to ask about that kind-hearted person. Why are you in such a hurry to leave? You must be bragging and there is no such kind-hearted person at all."
Lin Minjun originally planned to find an opportunity to confess, otherwise after a long time, everyone would think she was a liar.
At this moment Jiang Quan called out, and she just happened to confess, nodding and admitting, "Yes, there is no kind-hearted person, I was just lying."
ah?
Not only Jiang Quan, but other educated youth were also dumbfounded.
"Hey, hey, you're being naughty now that you're in the capital. We're all family, why are you lying?"
Lin Minjun was in a hurry to leave and explain at the same time, she was simply overwhelmed.
Fortunately, at this time Zhao Ning came back, walked in from outside, and nodded at Lin Minjun.
Lin Minjun breathed a sigh of relief. She finally had a few more minutes to talk about Shen Hongyu's matter.
