Chapter 524: A Poverty-stricken Couple



Gao Dapeng was stunned for a while before he said, "Look."

When Director Ye and Old Man Li heard this, they were both dumbfounded. They thought the options for this question were very simple and they just needed to nod their heads, but who would have thought that when Gao Dapeng said this, it turned into the vague words "see".

Director Ye's face immediately fell. This was completely different from the Gao Dapeng's personality and temper that he usually saw.

"Dapeng, the capital is still better. Compared with your hometown, the capital is definitely not just a little bit better, but a huge leap." Director Ye said in a gloomy face.

Old Man Li nodded and said, "Xiao Gao, where is your hometown?"

"It's in the old district of Mengshan." Gao Dapeng said.

"The conditions in that place are extremely harsh." Old man Li sighed.

Gao Dapeng smiled and said, "My main problem is that I don't have enough ability. I'm worried that if I make a mistake one day, I'll be fired. So I don't even dare to think about settling down in the capital in the future."

"Dapeng, you still have to have confidence in yourself." Director Ye finally regained some of his smile. "Everyone can see your work in the office. Hey, are we going astray?"

Old man Li smiled awkwardly. Just now, both he and Ye Wanchun were led astray by Gao Dapeng.

Old man Li nodded at Ye Wanchun and gave him a wink.

Ye Wanchun cleared his throat and said, "Dapeng, the truth is, your uncle Li has an only child, about your age, who has never been in a relationship. Do you have the desire to meet me? If so, I can arrange for you to meet at my house today."

Gao Dapeng felt a little embarrassed. On the one hand, he had something to do today, and on the other hand, he really didn't want to have any contact with this so-called good-looking girl. His heart was already filled with Yang Xuexiu, so naturally, there was no room for other girls.

But if he doesn't agree today, it would be equivalent to not giving Director Ye face. If he doesn't give Director Ye face, then his future life...

However, although Gao Dapeng looks honest and neither humble nor arrogant on weekdays, he is actually quite smart. He quickly came up with a good way to politely reject Ye Wanchun.

"Director, my best friend is coming today, and I have to accompany him."

Gao Dapeng's move was a two-pronged approach. Not only did he cleverly rescue himself from the predicament, but he was also indirectly telling them that he only had his buddies in mind at the moment and was not thinking about falling in love.

Gao Dapeng's move was indeed brilliant. After hearing it, Ye Wanchun and Old Man Li could only say with an embarrassed look on their faces: "Well, it's more important to accompany our good brothers. Let's do it another day."

Old man Li was even more determined. After all, he couldn't be too proactive. If he was too proactive, it would be easy for him to lose his value in front of Gao Dapeng.

They could only chat with Gao Dapeng for a few insignificant and meaningless sentences and then sent him away.

Gao Dapeng ran out with an ecstatic look on his face. Perhaps it was because he was extremely nervous just now, so as soon as he went out and was exposed to the bright sun outside, he suddenly felt dizzy.

Seeing this, he quickly held onto a big tree nearby, sat down and gasped for breath for a long time before he felt a little better.

Just as I was about to go find my girlfriend, she called me unexpectedly.

"Dapeng, where are you now?"

"I'll be right out."

"I have found a house." Yang Xuexiu said with a hint of excitement.

"Where is it?" Gao Dapeng asked quickly.

"Here in Jinhua Garden."

Gao Dapeng was a little confused. He didn't know the exact location of Jinhua Garden.

"Here on Renmin South Road, come over, I'll be waiting for you."

"good."

An hour later, Gao Dapeng saw his girlfriend at the bus stop. The weather in the capital in May had become quite hot. After seeing Yang Xuexiu, Gao Dapeng found that her face was covered with sweat.

He suddenly felt sorry for his girlfriend. If it weren't for this damn house, his girlfriend wouldn't have to work so hard all day long.

"Xiu, let me buy you a bottle of water." Gao Dapeng said with a distressed look on his face.

Yang Xuexiu shook his head stubbornly. "No need. There's running water at the place I'm looking for. We can just drink some there later."

"No, I'll buy you a bottle." Gao Dapeng always listened to Yang Xuexiu, but today he was quite stubborn.

After seeing her boyfriend being so stubborn today, Yang Xuexiu felt very complicated, feeling both distressed and touched.

Of course, she was reluctant to drink this bottle of Coke alone, and her boyfriend had just squeezed into the extremely hot bus and was soaked all over.

Yang Xuexiu took only a small sip and then handed it to her boyfriend.

"Dapeng, you should drink some too."

"Hmm..." Gao Dapeng took the bottle, took a sip, and instantly felt all his fatigue disappear.

The two climbed seven floors before reaching the roof.

The buildings on the roof should be temporary illegal structures. Gao Dapeng roughly counted them in his mind and found that there were about seven or eight of them. Each one was sealed with a thin iron sheet, leaving only a small door.

"It's only 80 yuan a month here, and the bed, wardrobe, and table are all ready. I can move in with just my luggage." Yang Xuexiu had already negotiated with the landlord and had the key in her hand. She opened the tin house as she spoke.

Before the two of them walked in, they just stood at the door and felt a wave of heat coming towards them, almost suffocating them.

"Xiu, let's wait a moment until the heat wave dissipates before going in." Gao Dapeng said as the hot night scene appeared in front of him.

"It's a bit hot here, but I can just buy a fan." Yang Xuexiu didn't care about the stuffiness inside at all, and went in alone halfway through her words.

Seeing that his girlfriend had already gone in, Gao Dapeng didn't care about anything else and quickly followed her in.

The temperature inside was at least four or five degrees higher than the hot outside. Gao Dapeng and Yang Xuexiu both felt very uncomfortable inside. They wanted to speak but couldn't.

After taking a quick look around inside and seeing that the furniture was indeed complete, the two could no longer bear the extremely stuffy heat and withdrew.

"Let's go buy a fan." Gao Dapeng had just finished speaking when he suddenly remembered that there was a refrigerator in his unit, which was basically idle. What if he froze a small bucket of water in the refrigerator every day and put it in his girlfriend's room at night?
