Chapter 380(1/2)
At around one o'clock in the morning, Jiang Wenwu walked out of a high-end bar smelling of alcohol, lit a cigarette to clear his head, and then took a taxi back to his rental house.
Jiang Wenwu is 32 years old. He is from a rural area in E City, Guangxi Province. He is currently working in the provincial capital with a monthly salary of 6,500 yuan. He is an ordinary migrant worker.
It has been ten years since I left school and I have been working, but I have not saved much money.
Compared with other young people, his monthly expenses are already saved. The average monthly food expenses are about 1,500, rent for water and electricity is about 1,000, cigarette money is about 600, and there are also favors, transportation expenses, phone bills, etc.
The miscellaneous expenses are probably around one thousand.
Coupled with the red envelopes given to his parents during the holidays, he can save two thousand yuan a month, which is still the most ideal situation.
In fact, he rarely saves two thousand yuan a month. There are always some unplanned expenses throughout the year, such as having a headache, fever, etc., and buying clothes and shoes. If he encounters
Changing a mobile phone would be a huge hemorrhage.
In short, after working for ten years, he only saved tens of thousands of yuan.
This is the reason why he has always been single. As long as he has a girlfriend, it will be good if he can stay debt-free.
He had saved some money, but in the past few months he had been frequenting bars, and his small savings had begun to decrease at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In fact, when he went to such a high-end bar, it wasn't him who was treating him, but his friend who had already made it big asked him to go there. It was either his friend who was treating him or his friends who were younger.
However, there is no problem in treating guests without paying, but if Jiang Wenwu goes there often, his performance must not be too bad. If nothing else, he must at least give a cigarette to his friends who are young, right?
Generally, when you go to a bar, there are not only three or five people, but basically ten or twenty people. If one person passes a cigarette, the pack of cigarettes is gone.
After playing for a night, blowing out two rounds of smoke is the basic operation.
They are all young people, and no one has a bad face. No matter whether they are trying to make a fool of themselves or not, if they hand out cigarettes on such occasions, they cannot hand out cigarettes that cost ten or twenty yuan. At least they are fifty-one packs of Dalong.
.
Two packs of cigarettes, that's one hundred yuan.
Including the cost of taking a taxi back and forth, Jiang Wenwu's consumption for one night would be at least around 150 yuan.
People really can't be compared with each other. It's okay to treat someone for a long time, but Jiang Wenwu, a person who comes to eat, drink and have fun, is really unbearable.
This is a typical example of someone else buying groceries. If you buy it with salt, it will make you poor.
Back at the rental house, Jiang Wenwu took a bath and sobered up. People say they don't take baths after drinking, but he didn't care. After taking a bath, he lay on the bed, lit a cigarette, and began to think about life.
First of all, the life of being drunk every night can no longer go on. It’s not that I feel sorry for the cigarette money. The main reason is that I go to such occasions too often and it feels boring.
As a marginalized person who enjoys eating, drinking and having fun, Jiang Wenwu is actually a foil in this situation. He can't get in the way when others talk about business and cooperation. He can only watch helplessly when others flirt with girls.
After a long time, it naturally becomes boring.
Moreover, through comparison with Fa Xiao, Jiang Wenwu also began to doubt whether it was right or wrong for him to be content with the status quo and work honestly all these years?
Jiang Wenwu's nickname is Jiang Wenshang. The two are cousins who played in the fifth server. They grew up together and were even classmates in elementary school and junior high school. They played closer than real brothers.
The two were born in the same environment, and their family backgrounds were almost the same. Even their academic performance was about the same. Before they entered the society, neither of them was better than the other.
The difference between the two is after they left society.
After Jiang Wenwu found his current job, he has been working peacefully and has never thought about changing jobs or quitting to start a business. It has been ten years.
But his childhood friend Jiang Wenshang was different. After graduating, Jiang Wenshang, like Jiang Wenwu, first found a job, but after only working for three years, Jiang Wenshang resigned and started his own business.
The direction of starting a business is the same as the work he did during those three years.
The development speed of Jiang Wenshang's company is still good, and his current net worth is nearly ten million. Compared with Jiang Wenwu, a young man who has been standing still for many years, it is simply a sky and a place.
In the past, the relationship between the two was closer than that of brothers, but after Jiang Wenshang started his own business, he made more and more friends. If the friendship was divided into ten points, then all the ten points of friendship before were with Jiang Wenwu.
But as Jiang Wenshang made more and more friends, many of whom were close friends, these very good friendships were divided. Being able to keep a third of Jiang Wenshang with Jiang Wenshang was considered as a sign that Jiang Wenshang missed his old friendship.
Nowadays, when Jiang Wenwu and Jiang Wenshang get along, they no longer have the same sense of intimacy that they had when they were wearing the same pair of trousers, and they are a little more unfamiliar and polite.
Jiang Wenwu felt a little regretful, but he also understood that the reason for this situation was that his development had been stagnant and could not keep up with the pace of Fa Xiao's development.
In the past few months of being in contact with Fa Xiao, Jiang Wenwu also had some insights in his heart. If he complies with the status quo at his most energetic age, it will be impossible to make a difference in this life, and it will even be difficult to find a wife.
Maybe, I really should make a change and try starting a business that I couldn't even think of before.
That night, Jiang Wenwu lay in bed and thought a lot.
…
Noon the next day.
After get off work, Jiang Wenwu was not in a hurry to go to dinner. Instead, he called his father and told him about his intention to resign and start a business.
After Jiang's father listened, he calmly asked: "What kind of business do you want to do?"
Jiang Wenwu said: "I have thought about it carefully. Wen Shang runs a decoration company. I am planning to open a building materials store. If he takes care of me, the business will definitely not be bad."
Father Jiang pondered and said: "I don't know much about business, but Wenshang's decoration company has been open for several years, so it should have a fixed supplier already, and the price must be relatively low.
Although you have a good relationship with Wen Shang, the supply price of your building materials store should not be said to be lower than others, but at least it must be the same as others so that Wen Shang can properly take care of you.
But you don’t have any connections now, and you may not even know where the building materials store buys goods. Are you sure you can compete with others?"
Jiang Wenwu said: "There are definitely difficulties. How can it be so easy to start a business? I have thought about it. The building materials store is going to partner with Wen Shang. If he takes a stake, the problem you mentioned will no longer be a problem."
Jiang's father said: "This is a good idea. Then you should explore Wen Shang's intention first. If he is willing to open a building materials store in partnership with you, then I will find relatives and friends to help you raise money."
Jiang Wenwu said: "Well, then I will find time to talk to him, and then I will call you."
Next, the father and son chatted for a few more words and then hung up the phone.
When Jiang Wenwu went to eat, his heart gradually started to become hot. He would have a good talk with Fa Xiao in the evening. If everything went well, he would resign and do something big tomorrow...
…
When Jiang Wenwu called his father, his childhood friend Jiang Wenshang was receiving a visitor in the company's office. This customer was none other than Zhang Dan, the matchmaker of Xingfu Dating Agency.
Zhang Dan is the eldest sister of Huang Lingwei's university dormitory. She was originally admitted to be a civil servant in their hometown. After some comparisons, she gave up her job as a civil servant and chose to work as a matchmaker at Xingfu Dating Agency.
Now more than half a year has passed, Zhang Dan's monthly income has exceeded 30,000 yuan, which makes her extremely lucky that she chose to be a matchmaker instead of returning to her hometown to work as a civil servant.
Zhang Dan was not very good-looking, but rather grand. At this time, she sat in front of Jiang Wenshang and said with a smile: "Mr. Jiang, I took the liberty of visiting you because I want to introduce you to a very good person. I will not delay you."
A little time, I hope you don’t mind.”
Jiang Wenshang sat on the boss's chair and said with a smile: "I don't mind. I'll be happy if someone introduces me to someone. Matchmaker Zhang, you tell me, I'll listen."
When Zhang Dan heard this, he cut his story short and said: "Mr. Jiang, the person I'm introducing to you is two years younger than you. He has a high school education. He has been in the Women's Special Police Team of Sichuan Province for almost ten years. He is a special soldier with extremely strong practical capabilities."
Jiang Wenshang put down his tea cup and said with surprise and joy: "Matchmaker Zhang, are you kidding me? The person you are introducing to me is a female special forces soldier?"
No wonder Jiang Wenshang reacted this way, those are special forces. Although the special forces in reality may not be as awesome as those on TV, they are still very awesome to the Chinese people.
Especially female special forces soldiers are even more rare to see.
Zhang Dan laughed and said: "No kidding, after she retired last year, she came to work as a bodyguard for my boss."
After confirming that this was true, Jiang Wenshang was really excited.
These days, marrying a female armed police officer will already give you bragging rights in your circle of friends. Being able to marry a female special forces soldier is a shameless thing for most men.
As for her bodyguard job, he doesn't care too much. With his company's business situation, it doesn't matter if his women work or not, he can afford it.
"Matchmaker Zhang, I really like the female special forces soldier, but I don't know what she looks like?" Jiang Wenshang was excited, but he still didn't forget to ask this important question.
Zhang Dan took out his mobile phone from his bag, quickly pulled out a photo, handed it to him and said, "Mr. Jiang, people's aesthetics are different. This is her photo. You can see for yourself what she looks like."
Jiang Wenshang took the phone and looked at it, and found that the photo was of a woman wearing a military uniform. Before she could see her face clearly, she felt an energy that was different from ordinary people.
Looking carefully at the appearance, he doesn't know whether she is beautiful in other people's eyes. Anyway, in his eyes, the woman in the photo is beautiful.
If you take the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. separately, they may not look very good, but when they are all put together, they look very harmonious.
In short, he is satisfied with the other party's appearance.
"Matchmaker Zhang, it's getting late now. Let's go out to eat first and talk while eating." Jiang Wenshang warmly invited.
Nowadays, Zhang Dan is no longer a novice. She already has a lot of experience as a matchmaker. After hearing this, she knew that Mr. Jiang in front of her was very interested in the person she introduced, so she struck while the iron was hot: "Mr. Jiang, it seems that the person you introduced to me
This person is quite interested, how about I call you and ask her, and if she hasn’t had lunch yet, invite her over to have dinner with her?"
Jiang Wenshang's eyes lit up and he said: "Well, please call Matchmaker Zhang quickly. It doesn't matter if she has already eaten. Come over and have a bowl of soup and a few bites of vegetables. She can still eat."
Zhang Dan responded with a smile, stood up and walked out of the office, then dialed the number of the boss's bodyguard Baili Wutong...
…
Ten minutes later.
In a private room of a certain restaurant, while waiting for Baili Wutong to arrive, Jiang Wenshang also actively asked Zhang Dan, the matchmaker, to learn about Baili Wutong.
Zhang Dan naturally knew everything.
When they had almost understood each other, Baili Wutong also came.
There must be some differences between the real person and the photos. Moreover, the photos Jiang Wenshang saw before were in military uniforms, but now Baili Wutong is wearing casual clothes, which feels natural and different.
However, compared to the photos, Jiang Wenshang is more satisfied with the real person.
In Baili Wutong's eyes, Jiang Wenshang is also a good candidate. She already knows his detailed information, and seeing that he looks more in line with her aesthetic standards, she is naturally satisfied.
After ordering the food and the waiter exiting the box, Jiang Wenshang looked at Baili Wutong with burning eyes and said with emotion: "When I used to watch TV, my favorite ones were the heroic female special forces soldiers or policewomen. At that time,
