After finishing my meal, I called the network administrator to return the plates. I checked the external forums and found that the mini-program had already filtered out the paid Q&A posts.
This forum is from the US. I checked the time, it's 11:33 PM now, which is about 10 AM there. There aren't many problems yet because many people are just starting their workday. There might be more problems in the afternoon. But now that she has three months' salary, she's not in a rush to make money anymore.
She had worked for two hours and earned over $100, which was quite a lot for the day. She decided to go to sleep. After closing the door of the private room and drawing the curtains, she put down the chair and lay down. Before going to sleep, she thought to herself, "If I had known I would get paid, I wouldn't have stayed at the internet cafe. The internet cafe doesn't offer refunds. I'll see if I can transfer the money out tomorrow."
Jiang Yue saw someone sharing it when she arrived today, so she'll try asking around at the internet cafe entrance tomorrow.
The next morning, Jiang Yue had a bit of back pain. This thing was really uncomfortable to sleep in, and the soundproofing in the private room wasn't very good either. She even got up once during the night to put on some earplugs.
She took out her toiletries from her bag and followed the crowd to the washing area, which resembled a school's washing area with rows of faucets and sinks. She waited in line for a while before it was her turn. After washing up, she returned to her private room.
After packing my things, I went out for breakfast, then waited for a while at the entrance of the internet cafe and transferred the private room to someone else for 400 yuan. I spent 150 yuan for the day.
After leaving the internet cafe, she went back to her rented apartment, tidied up, and cancelled the lease. The lease was due in a few days anyway, and she had already said she wouldn't renew it. The place wasn't safe anymore, so she planned to find a safer place.
It's normal for sub-landlords not to want their deposits back when you leave; there are too many people like that. Then Jiang Yue showed him her Douyin account: "Do you think I dare to report you for tax evasion? Do you think I'm one of those people who are afraid of trouble? Do you want to get on the trending topics list?"
After seeing Jiang Yue's video, the sub-landlord reluctantly returned her deposit. He even wanted to give her money in lieu of payment for the days she didn't stay that month, but Jiang Yue refused the money and only took the deposit, saying that following the rules was enough.
These people are bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong. They take advantage of your fear of trouble and lawsuits, and your reluctance to deal with small amounts of money. If you stand up for yourself, you can definitely get your money back.
Jiang Yue was at a loss about where to live after giving up her apartment. As an orphan, she had no hometown to return to, and she hadn't gotten her wages back yet. The tax evasion case she reported was no longer Jiang Yue's concern, as the tax bureau had accepted the case and submitted the evidence. Now she just had to wait and see if she would receive a bonus.
After some thought, I decided to stay in Beijing for now. I left the rental to Bai Ze and finally chose a small courtyard house in Shunyi. It cost 1,800 yuan a month and I signed a ten-year contract. The house was 500 square meters, with more than a dozen rooms and a large courtyard. Bai Ze had already inspected the place and there were no major problems, but it would need some renovations to make it more comfortable to live in.
The landlords were an elderly couple, very kind old folks. During our conversation, I learned that their daughter had married and moved to Singapore. The elderly couple were getting on in years and planned to move to Singapore to live with their daughter. They couldn't bear to sell the house, so they rented it out to earn some money.
They had no objection to Jiang Yue's suggestion to renovate the house. They took everything they could from the yard and gave away everything they could. The empty house had nothing left, and it would fall into disrepair anyway since no one lived there.
When they learned that Jiang Yue had just graduated, they agreed to her suggestion of paying monthly for the first year. When she left, Jiang Yue wanted to treat them to a meal, but they ended up treating her to a meal instead, which made her feel quite embarrassed.
After the landlord left, Jiang Yue began to renovate the house according to the design drawings. The building materials she needed to buy had arrived one after another. If she hadn't only paid one month's rent, Jiang Yue's more than 10,000 yuan wouldn't have been enough to buy the materials.
Jiang Yue didn't plan to hire anyone for the house renovation, but money was to blame. She simply released five puppets, which was both economical and efficient. Before the renovation, Jiang Yue created an account so she could edit and post videos of the renovation process to earn some money to supplement her household income.
After spending a month renovating the courtyard, Jiang Yue's new Douyin account has gained 1 million followers. She has a mid-length video plan and has taken on several advertisements. Jiang Yue now has more than 50,000 yuan in savings because she spent a lot of money renovating the courtyard. Just a few large windows cost more than 30,000 yuan, not counting other miscellaneous expenses.
A lot has happened. First, a major earthquake struck the entertainment industry because Jiang Yue reported tax evasion and the use of dual contracts, which implicated many big stars. The police have officially intervened in the "dual contract case." As the former boss who was reported, there is no news of him now, so there has been no follow-up to Jiang Yue's arbitration. It is unknown whether she can get the money back.
Jiang Yue herself has been blacklisted by the entertainment industry, or rather, blacklisted is an understatement. For the past month, people have been searching for Jiang Yue's whereabouts. Jiang Yue had Bai Ze monitor these people, and whatever they wanted to do with her, Jiang Yue would have Bai Ze do to them. As a result, quite a few people have died in the past month.
Just kidding, she wasn't afraid at all. They thought the law was protecting Jiang Yue, but it was actually protecting them. If Jiang Yue didn't have some principles, she would have sent them to hell long ago. Anyway, none of the people Bai Ze investigated were clean. If you ask Jiang Yue, they should really donate some money to the police station and the court.
However, they didn't connect it to Jiang Yue's actions. In their minds, Jiang Yue didn't have that ability. They only suspected that their rivals were trying to get them and that the country wouldn't tolerate them. They never considered whether they themselves had a problem.
The courtyard renovation was completed in December. In Beijing, the heating was not enough in December, so Jiang Yue set up a formation that kept the house warm in winter and cool in summer. Although air conditioning was no longer needed, Jiang Yue still installed a few units. This was purely to deceive people, so she chose cheap ones.
After finishing the house renovation, Jiang Yue bought a dog. After much deliberation, she finally chose a Border Collie. It's so smart, and living alone in such a big yard is a bit lonely. She kept one of the puppets used during the renovation and transformed it into the appearance of a middle-aged woman. From now on, she will be in charge of cleaning, cooking, and grocery shopping. The smart home system is a Bai Ze with Xiao Ai (Xiaomi's AI assistant) on it. You can imagine how comfortable life will be in the future.
Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are all that's lacking. In Beijing, it's easy to buy a car, but difficult to register it, which is quite troublesome. She searched for solutions but there were only a few, and she couldn't do any of them at the moment, unless she rented someone else's car, which was quite novel. She hadn't considered this issue for a long time. However, there were supermarkets and other things in the village, so she could walk around normally. If all else failed, she could buy an electric scooter to ride for now.
