I Have a Mansion in the Post-apocalyptic World

Chapter 18: Meeting old friends again

Views:

The salty sea breeze calmed Jiang Chen down for a while. Looking at the old people walking on the beach, the couples walking together, and the tourists having fun and taking photos, Jiang Chen stretched out his hand to rub his temples with some fatigue.

Feeling better, just a little tired.

Jiang Chen spent nearly 200,000 yuan in one afternoon. However, the aftertaste after the climax is just exhaustion.

After taking a taxi and arriving at the beach, Jiang Chen just wanted to enjoy the sea breeze for some reason.

This is regarded as a famous scenic spot in Wanghai City. The marble railings border the golden beach, the founding fathers’ domineering and majestic brush strokes on the stone monument near the sea, and the small wooden houses full of the atmosphere of the times. As early as when he was in college, he had heard this mentioned by his buddies in the same dormitory. Of course, those wolves couldn't say anything good. Jiang Chen just vaguely remembered that they said there were many beauties here, and there were many beauties in swimsuits.

Looking at it now, it is indeed the case

However, after studying in Wanghai City for four years, this was his first time here.

Two very simple reasons. No money, no one to bring here.

It’s funny to say that, if you have money, there will definitely be no shortage of people. So in the final analysis, it’s just the former reason.

Shopping alone is lonely, and going to the beach alone is equally lonely.

However, now that he was also alone, Jiang Chen stood here without the hesitation that only the boy in the past had.

Got rich...

That's right, one million is really nothing in Wanghai City. Even if the rich here use all the high-speed rails in the country, they still can't afford it.

one million? I can't even afford a suite in the city.

However, the realm is different. That's right, it's the realm.

It's not Jiang Chen's boasting. Even Bill Gates can't compare to the wealth he currently has.

The amount of gold in one bank is at least over a billion, right? What about the banks in Wanghai City? What about the whole apocalypse

Of course, gold can cause trouble because of large sales, and even large selling can cause the overall price of gold to fall. Out of long-term considerations, Jiang Chen only planned to build a vault with enough gold. There were many ways to get money.

What about technology? Just take that holographic computer pen. If Jiang Chen took it out and opened a company to sell it, the market value would probably exceed 100 billion. What about virtual reality systems that are used as teaching equipment? What about the dormant warehouse? Even if the market value of this company exceeds one trillion, it is not a dream. This all refers to U.S. dollars.

Of course, you have to eat one bite at a time, and you have to build your power step by step. If you rashly display black technology, I'm afraid not only banknotes will swarm in, but also notes. It's still the kind of shady cop. Some people have done a lot of killing the goose to retrieve the eggs.

After obtaining that gold, the accumulation of original capital can be completed, and then the next step of development can be planned. Step by step, until the power at hand grows into a behemoth, people with ulterior motives will not be able to move it even if they want to.

As for the more than one million, it is enough to enjoy it.

Therefore, Jiang Chen stood here at this moment and did not feel that he was incompatible with this place at all. Things that I could only think about before are now at my fingertips, those young and beautiful figures, those magnificent villas, those luxury cars with countless price tags...

belch...

Jiang Chen burped and rubbed his sore brow. He was a little drunk.

Jiang Chen stuffed the beer can at hand into the trash can and took a final deep breath of the salty sea breeze.

"Handsome boy, don't you want to play together?"

A woman in a swimsuit smiled at him, her bright eyes and white teeth showing the color of youth. She usually loves to read fashion magazines, and she can tell at a glance that Jiang Chen's outfit is valuable. Those "melancholy and deep" eyes look like a domineering president who has just lost his love...

People are most vulnerable to having their hearts captured when they are heartbroken. Sophie, who thought she had the secret of love, first pushed away her girlfriends who were playing together, and then walked to Jiang Chen's side alone, smiling sweetly like a young, lovely and kind-hearted girl. girl.

Sophie didn't care how many women this man had, or whether he had any women. She was very envious of her roommate who had a godfather. He had countless pocket money every day. When he went out, he carried bags from LV and Hermès and used perfumes from Opium and Biyang. She was unwilling to give in. She believed that her beauty was not inferior to that of her roommates.

As long as I'm willing to strike up a conversation, I can also catch Kaizi... Moreover, this man is much more handsome than Guoguo's godfather.

Thinking of this, Sophie's heartbeat couldn't help but speed up.

"Haha, no." To Sophie's surprise, the man just glanced at her, then smiled and shook his head to reject her.

"It's better to leave your youth to someone more meaningful."

After saying that, Jiang Chen walked away without looking back, leaving Sophie standing there stunned.

That girl might think I'm a psycho.

Jiang Chen smiled wildly, ignoring the gazes of others and wandering aimlessly along the roadside. The genetically enhanced body also enhances the metabolic rate, so alcohol is excreted from the body much faster than ordinary people. Jiang Chen enjoyed this feeling of being tipsy. If possible, he really hoped that the alcohol could stay in his body for a little longer.

Why did you reject that woman just now

It's purely because Jiang Chen doesn't have that desire now. And although her appearance is good, it is still a little worse than Sun Jiao. As for the line about pretending to be 13, it was just something he wanted to say.

Night is gradually falling, but life in this city has just begun.

Pedestrians on the street flowed endlessly under the lights, which made Jiang Chen feel helpless as he wanted to stay quietly for a while.

It's really too noisy here... For the remaining few days, I might as well find a place to go on vacation.

With this thought in mind, Jiang Chen started walking towards the less crowded streets, and unknowingly walked into a secluded alley.

"Speaking of which, isn't it time to go back?"

Jiang Chen, who was almost completely sober from the wine, was walking aimlessly, looking at the darkening night and muttering.

However, at this moment, a familiar figure came into his eyes, which made him stunned for a moment, with a strange look on his face.

Xia Shiyu graduated from Wanghai University, majoring in economic management. With both talent and beauty, she naturally spent four years in college amidst the praise and admiration of countless people, and left the campus with excellent academic results.

He and Jiang Chen had completely opposite lives, even though they were from the same university.

However, due to family reasons, she did not choose to go to graduate school, but chose to work in a clothing store. Because of her outstanding abilities, she was easily hired as a store manager in a store located in a bustling area. This undoubtedly gives this talented woman a good platform to display her ambitions.

Indeed, Xia Shiyu launched a series of measures as soon as he took office, which raised the sales volume of the clothing store to a higher level. It is precisely because of her severe style that she is known as the iceberg beauty among her male compatriots, and the stinky bitch among her female compatriots... Ahem, everyone has jealousy, Even more similar.

Not only that, she is very successful in her career and is said to have a boyfriend who loves her very much. This boyfriend always picks her up when she gets off work, but this female boss who has a high level of ambition never seems to deal with that man very much. So much so that Jiang Chen secretly joked with his colleagues about whether this female boss with a stinky face every day had irregular menstruation...

However, the tragedy happened just like that, as the saying goes, misfortune comes from the mouth.

The rumor seemed to have finally been heard by Xia Shiyu due to coincidence, and she was able to find out the "culprit" of the bigger issue. Jiang Chen's fate can be imagined...

Just picking some faults, she kicked Jiang Chen out of the place where he had worked for a year.

Jiang Chen still remembers the cold and mocking expression on her face at that time.

To put it bluntly, people are still human. No matter how selfless and clear-minded they are, they will occasionally act inconsistently with their usual behavior due to emotional impulse. Of course, Jiang Chen did not deny that he was wrong, but he was fired because of a joke, which really made him feel a little angry. Who would bother hanging on to such a trivial matter? However, Xia Shiyu didn't allow it. She was used to enjoying men's admiration and compliments on her. She could ignore women's bad comments, but she couldn't tolerate men's "disrespect" towards him.

This is the weakness of her character, or bad spot.

At that time, Jiang Chen even had the extreme idea of retaliating against her, but after drinking and venting his anger, he put the whole thing aside with the weak excuse of "it wasn't worth it."

After all, life has to go on. This is a society governed by law, and not everyone is a careless person.

On the other hand, Xia Shiyu still acts as her executive, and the clothing store is still running without a small person.

But things didn't end there.

Ability is one thing, academic qualifications are one thing, but human heart is another.

The dismissal of Jiang Chen, who was quite popular, was like a fuse, igniting the resentment in everyone's hearts. More and more people can't stand her management style. High-pressure and harsh management brings short-term efficiency, but brings long-term negative emotions. It is impossible for her to stand on the front line with ordinary employees all the time, but require all employees to do what she says all the time. Maybe her request was legitimate, but it was unreasonable.

The not-so-high salary and the high-standard requirements began to conflict, and more and more people complained. This emotion was directly reflected in the details of the work and in the sales performance.

Although they were very optimistic about the ability of this top student and admired the profits she had created for the company in the first few months after taking office, the senior management ultimately dismissed the less mature store manager and some employees with poor performance appraisals. Xia Shiyu's position was replaced with reserve talents airborne from the headquarters.

This strong woman who was once praised as the flower of Wanghai University School of Economics is actually unemployed...

It's only been a short year.

She was in pain. She didn't understand what she had done wrong, or she was smart enough to realize what she had done wrong, but it was too late to correct it. She still has some impression of the man she dismissed. It seems like it started from that moment? Everyone looked at her differently. It was awe at first, but later there was a trace of disgust behind that awe, even for the male employees who had been attentive to her...

After losing her job, she suffered a double blow both professionally and emotionally.

The boyfriend who had been flirting with her all the time took her new love away without any warning on the grounds that "I have been with you for so many years and you didn't even agree to a kiss, haha, just be your mother's iron maiden..." Lost. Perhaps because she could no longer provide him with financial support, the man didn't even bother to cover up his affair.

It's very ironic, Xia Shiyu always thought that he loved her very much, and it was the kind of unconditional love. Because he was the only one who pursued her for the longest time and didn't give up pursuing her until he graduated from college, so she agreed. She wasn't in love with him, or rather she was interested in every man who was flying around her. However, she knew that she had to marry someone, so she chose the most efficient way to pursue the person who had been pursuing her the longest.

As a result, reality clearly betrayed her. To be honest, she almost fell in love with that man.

Just because there was no kiss? Just because there's no sex? ... Could it be that the so-called love cannot even withstand this test? Xia Shiyu was confused. She obviously promised him and would leave everything to him on the wedding day.

But that wasn't what hit her the most.

Out of revenge or some other reason, the man borrowed a sum of money using her ID card as collateral. This is also the real origin of the car that picks her up every day. Because she would send him a sum of money every month, half of which was used to repay the loan, so she didn't show any clues. It wasn't until the day she lost her job that all the problems came to light.

50 sedan, this might not have been a big deal in the past. If she works for two or three years, she can afford such a car.

However, for her who is unemployed, this is simply a huge sum of money. Although with her ability, it is not difficult to find another job and pay off the loan. But there are so many graduates every year that it is a nightmare to get ahead in the talent market. She has lost her original aura on campus.

In addition, those who are willing to accept her employment all have conditions that make her feel humiliating.

High salary? Okay, can there be unspoken rules? cannot? ... Next.

In this densely populated country, there are too many capable people.

What's even more ironic is that the person sitting in the passenger seat of the car at this moment is not her.

She thought about calling the police, but this private loan was not so clean, and the other party was obviously not a kind person, so naturally she would not let her wish.

How can a woman from a good family compete with gangsters? I'm afraid there will be no bones left after being eaten.

She escaped from her original apartment and hid in a low-rent house, working to make ends meet. While hoping to save money to seek legal solutions to her problems, she struggled to find a suitable job.

However, her luck has come to an end.

Several people with obviously bad expressions blocked the door of her working place.

In that posture, it was obvious that he was not here for a serious discussion. ;
