Chapter 736: Getting Worse
The attitude of the new leader determines the attitude of the subordinates. Everyone follows the wind and naturally will not get too close to Liu Chengyu. Moreover, Liu Chengyu himself is an airborne soldier. When new colleagues ask about his former unit, he is still mysterious and no one knows his origins. This usually means that he has a great background, but judging from his temperament, he does not seem like the type of person with a strong background. Over time, everyone feels that Liu Chengyu is a bit pretentious.
Liu Chengyu felt very uncomfortable because he felt rejected by his new boss and colleagues. Not only did he have a bad relationship with people, but he was also very dissatisfied with his salary. His previous monthly income from various miscellaneous jobs was more than 10,000 yuan, but after he came to the new unit, his salary was only a little over 6,000 yuan. This was because his position was downgraded by two levels, and public institutions did not have profit-making projects, unlike civil servants.
In the capital, what can you do with a salary of 6,000 yuan?
After eating and paying for the property and water and electricity bills, there wasn't much left. Liu Chengyu couldn't cook, so he ordered takeout for meals, which cost him money even faster!
Liu Chengyu felt very frustrated. He was a graduate of a prestigious university, so how could he be in such a mess after he turned 50? Last year, he was invited to a reunion of his classmates who had met for ten years, but he did not go. He watched everyone in the class group chatting (showing off) about their work, income, and happy families. The more he watched, the more unbalanced and sad he felt.
It's not that Liu Chengyu didn't have the urge to quit his job and go out on his own. The problem is that he has been in the system for more than 20 years. Apart from flattering and writing a few sour articles, what skills does he have? He has forgotten all the professional knowledge he learned in college eight hundred years ago. What can he use to compete with the elites in society? He is worried that if he quits his job, he will not even get a salary of 6,000 yuan.
If you are afraid of wolves in front and tigers behind, just muddle through.
As for finding a young wife, the matchmaking agency introduced three to Liu Chengyu one after another. According to his requirements, all of them were in their thirties. After meeting them, he didn't have any feelings for them at all - they were not good-looking, had pretentious personalities, and it was obvious that they were after his money and house.
The staff of the matchmaking agency spoke very bluntly, "You are so old, with a monthly salary of only 6,000, no savings, and only one house in the capital. Do you still expect to find a beautiful woman? Why don't you go to heaven?" Even the people of the matchmaking agency looked down on him! Liu Chengyu was so angry that he temporarily gave up the idea of finding a new wife.

During this period, he deliberately blocked all information related to Liu Man and did not install Weibo and Douyin apps on his phone, because as soon as he saw that familiar face, he felt heart-wrenching pain and had to face the reality that he would never see his beloved daughter again. He divorced Zhang Pei because of this so-called princess! The core of a family is the child. Without the child, the family will fall apart.
Liu Chengyu didn't want to think about his daughter's happy life in ancient times. It was too far away from him. He didn't know whether this incredible thing was true. He always insisted that an ancient ghost had occupied his daughter's body, robbed her of her life, messed up his family, and caused Zhang Pei's temperament to change drastically. His good family became like this.
Being alone day and night, Liu Chengyu increasingly missed the simple and happy life of his family of three, his virtuous and gentle wife, and his lively and clever daughter.
But there are some things that you can't avoid by playing deaf and dumb.
One day, a former colleague who had not contacted Liu Chengyu for a long time sent him a message on WeChat, saying that his son wanted a signed photo of Liu Man. Liu Chengyu did not tell anyone about his divorce, fearing that his drunk driving would be exposed. He also tried not to interact with people from his former unit. Fortunately, those former colleagues did not dare to speak carelessly due to the intimidation of their leaders.
But asking for an autographed photo was not too much, but it posed a huge problem to Liu Chengyu. Liu Chengyu answered vaguely, "Okay, I'll leave you an autograph when I have a chance." Once this was said, the other party completely opened up.
Of course, they all knew that the famous Internet celebrity Liu Man was Liu Chengyu's daughter, and they envied Liu Chengyu very much. They had long wanted to ask Liu Chengyu about the specific situation of his daughter. This colleague mentioned the drunk driving incident tactfully and said, "You are now blessed in disguise. You have raised such an outstanding and promising daughter. Your family must be rich now."
Liu Chengyu replied, "No, no."
"How could that be? Yesterday, the financial headlines on the Internet said that your daughter's online store sold more than 100 million cat food in one day on Singles' Day. Oh, the news has spread all over here, and we are so jealous of you."
