Chapter 36
The first day of summer vacation.
Pei Muyang, who was still sleeping soundly, glanced at the alarm on his mobile phone and sat up with a somersault.
I have a very important interview today. Even if I was busy delivering food until after 1 a.m. last night and fell asleep right after coming home exhausted, I still have to get up on time at 7:30 a.m. to make all the preparations.
In fact, it is not a very impressive job. After all, Pei Muyang has just finished his junior year. In this environment where college students are everywhere and cheap labor, even graduates from top universities find it difficult to get a desired offer without work experience.
What's more, Pei Muyang didn't even get his diploma.
He was going to interview for a temporary employee at a large-scale garden party. The organizer of this garden party was a domestic mobile phone brand with a good reputation. It was planned to promote new products. Because the organizer was generous, even temporary employees were treated very well.
It can be said that if the interview is successful, the salary he earns in five days is more than what he earns in a month by working hard to deliver orders.
In order to facilitate the employees, the organizers also provided many humane benefits. All these factors combined made this interview the best choice for many college students to work and earn money during the summer vacation.
Of course Pei Muyang also wants to fight for it.
Last month's salary was less than 5,000 yuan after deducting the rent, and the prices in first-tier cities like City A can be described as outrageous.
I didn’t think so before, but after I started making money through my own sweat, I finally understood why some people would sit on the side of the road and break down crying because they couldn’t afford to buy vegetables that cost a few dollars.
The sadness of adults may be difficult to understand, but if one has not endured unbearable pain, who would be willing to blame the straw that broke the camel's back?
The interview went smoothly. Pei Muyang's beautiful appearance was unanimously praised by the interviewers. What does the service industry want?
What they want is a good appearance and good looks. There are so many young girls now. If this guy named Pei Muyang is released, it will bring in a lot of traffic, which is more effective than any amount of advertising.
So without a doubt, Pei Muyang was hired.
The next step was to fill out some forms. The staff responsible for signing the contract notified everyone of the subsequent training arrangements. Pei Muyang looked at the five-day training and couldn't help but ask, "What is the content of the training?"
"I'll teach you how to show all eight of your teeth and still have a natural, non-stiff smile."
Well, it’s a big company as expected, and they do things in a meticulous way.
I thought it was a simple matter, but after he walked out of the interview place and got on the subway for a long time, I realized that the mobile phone number he filled in was actually the previous one.
Damn it, I was writing so smoothly that I actually forgot about that account and never remembered to apply for a new one.
Now I am far away from the interview location. The best solution is to apply for a new one and use two cards at the same time. Although my mobile phone is several generations behind, it still has the dual-SIM dual-standby function.
So Pei Muyang took his ID card and ran to the business hall to get a new card before lunch break.
Fortunately, I had recharged a lot of phone credit before, so my phone has not been shut down yet.
As soon as I inserted the card into the card slot, dozens of messages flooded into my phone. Most of them were greetings from friends, and there were also many product advertisements. One of them was a message from "Jian Tiao Emei" three days ago.
He asked him, are you there?
"What's wrong, Jian Tiao?"
Pei Muyang was speechless. You have to know that this is a text message, not WeChat. If you have something to say, why don’t you just say it directly but ask “Are you there?”? Doesn’t he know that a text message costs one cent?
He now wishes he could break even a penny into two halves to spend, let alone this dime.
"Boss!! Boss, you finally paid attention to me? You don't know how worried I was about you!"
"Wow, wow, I'm almost sad to death. What have you been busy with recently, boss?"
"Why don't you use WeChat? I've left you so many messages, but you haven't replied to any of them. It's driving me crazy."
"By the way, why on earth don't you use WeChat and ignore people?"
Pei Muyang didn't know which one to respond to after seeing a series of critical hits. After looking for a long time, he picked the most important one.
"I lost the card I just replaced on my phone. I'll retrieve my WeChat account when I get home and we can chat later."
"Oh, okay."
"Waiting for you, waiting till death!"
Looking at this poor kid who had plenty of money, Pei Muyang felt indescribable helplessness. It was likely that he had also had this kind of second-year feeling of not knowing what worry felt like before. In his own opinion, this might be called the fearless and free spirit, but only after growing up did he realize that this was a manifestation of immaturity in the eyes of adults.
Pei Muyang put the phone, which was hot from being stuck, into his pocket and decided to reply to him after returning home.
There was a constant stream of cars on the road, and the hot summer seemed to have come a little earlier. People who went out in groups of three or two in the scorching heat were walking slowly under the shade of trees. Occasionally, someone turned around and looked at the good-looking boy who was walking with his head down, away from pedestrians.
As a result, he bumped into two people who looked fierce and difficult to deal with.
"Boy, don't you look where you're going?"
Pei Muyang, who was a little dazed after being hit, raised his head and saw the two people who had forced their family to give up the house before. So all the nerves in his body tensed up.
"Is it you?"
"Hey...don't be nervous. I have something good to tell you today."
"Huh? What good can you do from me?"
"Of course it's a great thing." The other man raised his chin towards the small path beside him and said, "Let's go. Someone is looking for you."
Noble person?
Pei Muyang sneered. At this time, what other benefactors could he have?
Because there were few passers-by, no one seemed to notice what was happening on the street.
Maybe some people saw it and hurried past with the mentality of "less trouble is worse than more".
Pei Muyang put his hands in his pockets and was held hostage by the two men, one in front and one behind, into the path. Finally, at the end of the path, he saw a familiar figure.
"It's you?" Pei Muyang half-closed his eyes, looking at the person opposite him whom he hated so much, with a cold glint in his eyes, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Chen Yiwei didn't care about Pei Muyang's attitude. After all, he also liked his cold and arrogant personality. It can be said that as long as the appearance is good, everything else can be nothing.
"You don't seem surprised at all, Pei Muyang. It's nice to see you again."
"Isn't it too early for you to be happy?"
Pei Muyang sneered, and while Chen Yiwei wasn't noticing, he moved his hand in his pocket quietly.
"Are they yours?"
Pei Muyang glanced at the two thugs standing not far from him, blocking his way like door gods and asked.
"Of course not. We can only be considered to have a mutually beneficial relationship."
"Oh? That's quite interesting. Could you explain it to me?"
Chen Yiwei looked at Pei Muyang's delicate features in a good mood. After not seeing him for a few days, it seemed that he had lost some of his youthfulness due to the changes in his family. His temperament became more mature and charming, making people unable to stop.
"It's true that I recruited these people to work with me. I was also the one who persuaded your cousin to find your mother and trick her into signing the house sale agreement and the loan IOU. As for the reason, Pei Muyang, I think you know it well. I said I was determined to win you over."
"Oh...so what's your purpose in looking for me this time? Don't tell me that you've had a change of heart and decided to let me go?"
"How is that possible? But I do offer you another choice in life. If you follow me, I can pay off all the money you owe them, including the principal and interest, in one lump sum. From now on, you won't have to run around for loan sharks, and your mother won't have to live in that small, shabby house. What do you think?"
"You really are a thief with such a heart."
"Pei Muyang, I advise you to think carefully. This is one and a half million... Oh, no, including the interest, it's nearly two million. As a student who has only just received a diploma, when will you be able to earn enough money? Oh, and the interest is compounded. It might even reach three or four million. You might even never be able to pay it back, and in the end, they might force you to sell your body and organs. If that's the outcome, you might as well follow me. At least I will treat you well until I lose interest in you."
"I've only heard of toads wanting to eat swan flesh, but I didn't expect there would be someone even bolder, actually wanting to eat Iron Man. Did you look in the mirror before going out? Aren't you afraid of irritating your teeth if you want to eat me?"
"Don't be so quick to refuse. I believe that one day soon, you will come back and beg me to take you."
"Well, then you'd better go home and take a nap now. Dreaming does make things go faster."
Pei Muyang was too lazy to talk nonsense with the mastermind behind this matter. After finding out who was looking for him, there was no need for him to stay any longer, so he turned around and took a step to leave.
But he was blocked by two thugs who were collecting debts.
"What are you going to do?" Pei Muyang took a step back cautiously. "It seems that the repayment date has not yet arrived. Why are you stopping me?"
"Hahaha... brat, who said you have to pay back the money on a certain date?"
"As long as we are happy, we can come to you to collect the debt at any time."
"First, pay back the four thousand yuan for the past two weeks. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving here in one piece today."
"Okay, I'll pay you back."
Pei Muyang looked at the spring sticks the two men took out from their clothes, and very tactfully took out his mobile phone and scanned the code of his newly received salary to give it to the two men.
The note is "Repayment of loan" and today's date.
Chen Yiwei watched with interest as Pei Muyang calmly and calmly handled this not-so-small crisis, and couldn't help but applaud him.
"As expected of the person I like, you got away with it this time. But Pei Muyang, I'm looking forward to our next meeting."
"That's right. After all, you won't be able to jump around for much longer."
Pei Muyang was too lazy to pay attention to him. After saying that, he didn't want to stay here anymore. He moved sideways to avoid the two people and left quickly.
Pei Muyang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he returned to the main road with more traffic.
When he took out the hand from his pocket, he took out the worn-out cell phone. He slid his finger across the screen and called up the voice memo from the background. The recording function showed that it was still counting down.
Fortunately, when he transferred the money just now, he quickly swiped the page to the backend, and those people didn't notice that he was recording.
Pei Muyang clicked the red stop button and then saved the recording. He then returned to the transfer page and took a screenshot of the transfer record. With these, he finally had some initiative. Although with Chen Yiwei's background, this amount of evidence could not convict him in one go.
But Pei Muyang believes that everything depends on human effort. This is a society ruled by law. None of those guys who harmed his family like this will be able to escape!
