It was a rare day off, so Chen Xu originally thought about going out for a stroll. Walking to the window, a gust of cold wind blew in, making him shiver, and immediately dismissed the idea.
"It's already winter."
In the blink of an eye, it has already entered December, and the cold air this year has come very late, and the Chinese New Year will be over a month away, so I feel a little bit winter.
Thinking of the New Year, his brows unconsciously frowned.
Two years ago, something happened to his family, and he owed hundreds of thousands, all of which were borrowed from relatives. Although they never pushed, it didn't feel good to owe someone money.
After he came out to work, he would take out 1,000 yuan from his salary every month and send it home to pay off his debts. Although the number was small, he still persisted.
He was afraid that if he slack off, after a long time, the debt might never be paid off.
In the past two years, during the Chinese New Year, visiting relatives' homes to pay New Year's greetings has become the most uncomfortable thing for him.
Those relatives never mentioned asking their family to pay back the money, but when Chen Xu faced them, he still felt uncomfortable.
His biggest wish now is to pay off the debt as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would never be able to lift his head up in front of his relatives.
Where to get money
He concentrated on the biggest problem in his life.
After the salary increase, he can take out 2,000 yuan a month to repay the debt, but it is still too little, only more than 20,000 yuan a year. If it depends on him alone, he will have to pay it back in the year of the monkey.
Too late.
So, you still have to find a way to make money.
Making money, for some people, is as simple as eating and drinking. Some rely on their background and rely on a lot of resources. Some rely on mental ability, some rely on boldness and good luck.
But for most people, it is simply impossible. For example, someone like him has no money at home, no outstanding brains and talents, and is timid and afraid of being cheated. The only way is to use stupid methods, work hard and accumulate time.
Most ordinary people in this country should come here like this.
However, Chen Xu is luckier than most people. With that virtual dream device, he has many more choices in his life.
Chen Xu sat on the computer chair, holding a bouncy ball in his hand, and threw it out of the balcony. The ball precisely hit the bottom bar of the stainless steel anti-theft net, bounced back and landed in his hand.
Then, he threw again, this time, the bouncy ball hit the second crossbar of the anti-theft net.
The third time, hit the third bar.
This bouncy ball is his new toy, playing like this really relieves stress.
Last week, during the lunch break, when he was playing bouncy ball in the company, Dai Zixin saw him yelling and insisted on pestering him to shoot a short video of bouncy ball throwing.
He was so entangled that he had no choice but to agree.
What played a key role was the lunch that Dai Zixin invited.
Since then, Dai Zixin has pestered him to make a short video every day. For every shot, she invited him to a meal.
For the sake of lunch, he naturally readily agreed. Anyway, it doesn't take much time to shoot a short video.
He played bouncy ball for a while, and thought it was a rare day off to play a game. There is only one game software in his mobile phone, and that is Werewolf Killer.
This is a board game, and later a company developed the corresponding A, which can be played online. When he is free, he plays with it.
However, I have been working overtime recently and have no time and energy. After all, it takes at least tens of minutes to start a game, and sometimes it won't finish for more than an hour.
As soon as he picked up his phone, WeChat rang.
The message was sent by Dai Zixin, "Chen Xu, come to XXX soon, help the world."
"???" Chen Xu replied with a few question marks, asking her what's going on.
Soon, Dai Zixin sent a voice message, "I was broadcasting live, and suddenly a lot of bullet screens said that I was a liar, and those videos were all fake, and I was so mad. Come here quickly and help me rectify my name."
Chen Xu replied, "No, it's hard to take a day off, I have to rest at home."
There was another voice, begging, "You just help me. I have managed to accumulate so many fans. If you don't come, my fans will be lost."
Chen Xu was unmoved, "Isn't it too inhumane to go out in such cold weather?"
"I'll reimburse you for the round-trip ticket, including lunch and dinner."
Chen Xu sent another message, "I haven't had supper for a long time."
"Plus afternoon tea and supper." From this voice, it can be heard how she gritted her teeth.
Chen Xu was shocked and said, "Send me the location."
...
Half an hour later, Chen Xu arrived at his destination, which was on a street not far from the company.
In such a cold weather, Dai Zixin went outdoors to live broadcast, which is also capricious.
"This way." Dai Zixin was waiting in front of a store, and when she saw him, she waved excitedly, "You're finally here, woo-"
Chen Xu ignored her exaggerated expression. After getting along with her for half a month, he was already familiar with her character.
She is very cheerful and likes to be funny, maybe it is more accurate to say "two".
Once, she imitated some short videos that spoofed her boss and ran to tease Liu Kun. As a result, Liu Kun slapped her face, and she was so scared that her phone fell to the ground on the spot, and the screen cracked.
Chen Xu can only say admiration for this spirit of death.
Fortunately, Liu Kun was only joking with her, and even comforted her a few words. Of course, it was inevitable to knock her at the end, telling her not to take pictures of these things during working hours.
Seeing that her hands were empty, Chen Xu asked, "Aren't you live broadcasting?"
"I'm patting inside. Didn't I come out to greet you?" Dai Zixin took his hand and entered the store.
Inside is a specialty restaurant. Chen Xu has never been to this kind of place before, so he thought it was quite novel, so he looked around. It can be seen that the owner put a lot of thought into the decoration, and it feels very tasteful, and it is very comfortable to enter the door.
"Quick, the master is coming, get out of the way."
Next to the counter, there was a mobile phone on a tripod, and several girls were chatting in front of the mobile phone. Dai Zixin yelled, and pulled Chen Xu to squeeze past.
The girls all looked at Chen Xu curiously, and asked, "Is this the master in your video?"
"That's right, this is me."
As Dai Zixin said, he glanced at his phone and saw that the number of viewers on it had dropped a lot, so he looked at Chen Xu with pleading eyes, "Now, it's up to you."
Chen Xu nodded to the girls. He agreed to let Dai Zixin take a short video, and asked that even if he didn't show his face, he would have to put a mosaic on it.
However, it's a live broadcast now, so it's a bit unrealistic not to show your face.
For the sake of her sincerity, it's okay for him to show his face.
Now, though, how do you prove those videos are real? Live broadcast is not like shooting in advance, and many effects cannot be captured.
He looked at Dai Zixin asking for help, and couldn't help shaking his head in his heart. It seemed that she couldn't be counted on for advice.
He scanned the dining room and saw a dartboard hanging on the left wall, and he had an idea.
