Chapter 10 Life, Easy as Piece



Upon hearing this, Chen Tai nearly fainted on the spot.

To ensure authenticity, the production team rented a simple apartment in the suburbs, and the commute alone took more than two hours by subway each day.

Chen Tai simply couldn't imagine it.

How do those oxen and horses manage to get to and from get off work on time every day?

Why not rent a place near the company?

It's just a few tens of thousands of yuan in rent per month, isn't it?

This can be called money?

Sure enough, oxen and horses are just oxen and horses, only fit to work themselves to death, and have no idea how to manage their time properly.

How can you improve yourself or earn more money if you waste all your time commuting?

Money is earned, not saved!

Don't these cattle and horses understand anything?!

Chen Tai vowed to himself that once he received his salary next month, he would definitely find a way to rent a place near the company, and he would never be in such a sorry state as he was today!

"Sigh, this is already considered good. I also work in Shanghai, and I can't even afford to rent a house in the suburbs."

I currently rent apartments in the Suzhou-Hangzhou area, and I have to get up at 5 a.m. every morning to commute. [crying emoji]

"Who can argue with that? I get off work at nine every day and don't get home until almost eleven. I wash up and go to bed because I have to get up at six the next day to catch the subway."

I have absolutely no time for myself; I can only find a sliver of comfort by staying up all night.

"Hilarious! And there's a whole bunch of experts saying staying up late is bad and can cause sudden death. Do you think I don't know that I could die suddenly? [smile] But do I have a choice?"

“What you’ve said isn’t even the most outrageous thing. There are also experts who say that eating takeout is bad and that we should get up two hours earlier to prepare a hearty breakfast.”

I got up at 6:00 AM. If I get up two hours earlier, wouldn't I have to get up at 4:00 AM? [Death smile]

These experts, don't you want to listen to what you're saying?

...

The working-class viewers in the live stream all chimed in with their opinions.

It was already past nine o'clock at night when Chen Tai arrived at his rented room.

As soon as he opened the door and saw the scene inside the rented room, Chen Tai was about to cry again, feeling wronged.

To showcase Chen Tai's diligence and hard work, the production team specifically chose an old, dilapidated apartment.

The house was in a typical ruin style, with yellowed walls and filthy floors.

Apart from a refrigerator and a broken television, the entire house had no other appliances!

There isn't even air conditioning!

There was only one old, broken fan that had survived from the last century!

Chen Tai was on the verge of collapse again. He simply plopped down on the dirty floor, wiping away his tears. He was speechless and choked with emotion, not knowing what to say at all.

"What? You're complaining about this? A place like this in Shanghai would cost several thousand a month!"

“I looked closely and there was nothing wrong with it except for the lack of air conditioning. I don’t understand what he’s complaining about.”

"To these capitalists, these houses are slums, completely uninhabitable, so of course they can't accept them. [Death smile]"

...

A large group of sharp-eyed netizens in the live stream commented.

There was no other way, so the director had to use an invisible earpiece to coax Chen Tai for another half hour, like coaxing a child.

Chen Tai then managed to pull himself together, found a tutorial online, and learned how to order takeout for himself.

It's the best-selling mala tang (spicy hot pot) in the area.

More than an hour later, the food finally arrived.

By this time, Chen Tai was starving and rushed over to open the takeout menu.

The moment the takeout order was opened, Chen Tai felt nauseous again.
