Liu Tianlong is a man of principle; once he has a stable job, he decides to find a new place to live and move.
If possible, pay back the money you owe others while you're at it.
Unfortunately, reality slapped me in the face.
He has yet to find a job he likes.
Waaaaah... Finding a job is so damn hard...
I should have learned some useful skills in school... that would have given me an advantage in getting a good job.
Being poor is just too hard...
He suddenly realized that the reason he felt comfortable being poor before was because he wasn't really poor!
The current situation is that the father is sick, the mother is unemployed, and he is useless and cannot earn money.
The family had no income and was living off the money they had borrowed from their good friend.
Liu Tianlong felt immense pressure.
Where does the way out lie in the future?
Is it possible for their family to make a comeback?
Feeling lost, confused, and helpless...
He's becoming completely depressed...
He had a falling out with his best friend, and they hadn't broken the ice yet. Since others didn't contact him first, he was too embarrassed to contact them either.
The last bit of money was quickly spent, and Liu's mother, who had once been a wealthy socialite, abandoned her dignity and became a nanny in someone else's home.
Liu Tianlong tried to stop them repeatedly to no avail, and was filled with grief and indignation.
Finally, swallowing his pride, he took the initiative to contact his good friend to ask for a loan.
Unable to reach him, he angrily hung up the phone.
He mentally sent his greetings to Yang Jiahao's entire family.
Unexpectedly, they were notified the very next day that the house had been sold by the owner and that they should move out as soon as possible.
Liu Tianlong's heart skipped a beat.
What's going on?!
He asked around among his former circle of acquaintances and learned that the Yang family had recently gone bankrupt and gone into liquidation.
Liu Tianlong was shocked:
"What?! The Yang family has gone bankrupt too?!"
The guy on the other end of the phone gave him a definite answer again, and then made a couple of rather unethical jokes.
"How is life for the poor, Young Master Liu?"
You should be very satisfied, right?
After all, you used to really enjoy being poor.
Hahaha…"
Liu Tianlong's face darkened instantly. He was about to hang up when the other end of the line kept going on and on.
"Sigh, to be honest. There's a mysterious saying in the industry about you and Young Master Yang."
They say you were punished by heaven for pretending to be poor and pretentious, and that heaven has taken back your good fortune.
If Yang Shao insists on helping you, then he will bear the consequences of your actions, and Heaven will take back his own good fortune.
Hahaha…
What do you think?
Liu Tianlong was furious:
I think...!!!
In a fit of anger, he hung up the phone.
These guys who make sarcastic remarks are infuriating!!
Liu Tianlong was forced to move and ended up sharing a dilapidated old apartment with others.
It's even worse than the place I rented with the original owner.
I felt utterly hopeless.
How did life end up like this?
He lowered his standards again and again, finding a manual labor job, enduring humiliation, but dared not resign.
In the service industry, people are treated like servants, their dignity trampled on for a pittance.
In the dead of night, I often burst into tears, and it's almost given me depression.
I felt like slapping myself repeatedly.
You didn't cherish those good days!
Why pretend to be poor of all things? Now, at least I don't have to pretend anymore…
Aaaaaah!!!
What's the point of living a life that seems endless?
He was heartbroken and tried to drown his sorrows in alcohol, but the more he thought about it, the more miserable he became. He even entertained inappropriate thoughts.
But when the time comes, they don't have the guts.
Until he met Yang Jiahao, who was in the same situation as him.
Yang Jiahao has fallen from grace, losing all his former elegance and demeanor.
They do manual labor, have no dignity, and earn a meager income on Weibo.
Liu Tianlong immediately felt much better.
It's good that he's not alone on this road.
Best brothers, for life!!!
When Yang Jiahao saw Liu Tianlong at the same workplace, he felt like a curse was running through his mind.
His eyes gradually filled with hatred.
Certain metaphysical ideas kept lingering in his mind.
He attributed his current predicament to the other party.
I'm in this state because of you!
Especially when they see the other person shamelessly acting as if nothing happened, greeting them with a gloating smile.
An unnamed rage surged to the top of his head, and he punched the target.
Damn it! Serves you right for pretending to be poor and showing off!!
The two men got into a fight and were eventually pulled apart by the workers. They were then given a severe dressing-down and threatened with having their wages deducted.
The two: ...!
He immediately lost his temper.
On a high-rise building not far away, Yu Shuang, having finished watching a good show, put down her binoculars and began to get back to the work at hand.
The patient assistant, who had been waiting patiently, began to give a very professional report:
"President Yu, as per your request, construction of the experimental base has commenced ahead of schedule. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we need to supplement the workforce. The two individuals you specifically requested have already been assigned to the project."
Yu Shuang nodded in satisfaction and praised her without reservation: "Well done."
Below.
Liu Tianlong and Yang Jiahao were assigned some dirty and tiring work.
Although they had a lot of complaints, they didn't think it was a big deal because they weren't familiar with this kind of work.
That's probably how most manual laborers get by.
They quickly realized something was wrong, damn it!
Why are other newcomers able to have it so easy while they have to work so hard?
That's unfair!!
They have reason to suspect they've been targeted.
Then the foreman gave them a piece of his mind: take it or leave it, if they don't want to do it, there are plenty of others who will!
