Chapter 1809 New World, "Alive"
Jiang Hao couldn't wait to open the system panel and check the new tasks on it.
"A guest watched the movie "To Live". The hardship of life, the helplessness of aging, the pain of illness, the grief of death, the loss of my love, the unattainable, the unrequited, the unrequited, the unrequited, the unrequited, the unsatisfactory life, the suffering is the norm, and happiness is a luxury."
"Task: Please ask the collector to experience the 'hardship of living'."
Jiang Hao has seen the movie To Live, starring Ge Da Ye, which has a very high Douban score. It is a very profound movie. Jiang Hao has even read the original novel.
It is a tragic and strong story of living.
Fugui is a stupid young master of a landlord. He enjoyed wealth when he was young. After being cheated of his ancestral property in gambling, he has never been able to recover and has suffered frequent misfortunes.
After losing all his family property, his father was so angry that he fell from a manure tank and died. His mother was seriously ill. Fugui went to seek medical treatment, but he was captured by the Kuomintang troops on the way and was later captured by the People's Liberation Army. When he returned to his hometown, he learned that his mother had passed away. His wife Jiazhen raised a pair of children with great difficulty, but his daughter unfortunately became mute.
Then his son Youqing died of excessive blood withdrawal in the hospital, his daughter Fengxia died of postpartum hemorrhage, his wife Jiazhen died of illness, his son-in-law Erxi died in an accident while working, and his grandson Kugen died of eating beans.
The rare warmth in life was torn to pieces again and again, and in the end, only an old cow was left to accompany him.
Jiang Hao closed the system panel and recalled the movie. He remembered the details in the movie clearly, and even the original book.
Let yourself enter the "living" world and experience the hardships. With his current abilities, Jiang Hao believes that those disasters will never happen, so how can you experience the hardships of living.
Will I become someone else?
Finally, Jiang Hao watched the movie again, read the relevant comments and information, and was fully prepared no matter what.
Opening the system panel again, Jiang Hao clicked the "Accept Task" button.
Swish~~!
Jiang Hao's figure disappeared in the supercomputer room.
Opening his eyes, Jiang Hao found that the environment here was very familiar. He sat on a bench. In the distance was the Binhai River flowing quietly. This was obviously a riverside park.
He shook his head vigorously, feeling a little confused. He couldn't remember many things. He only remembered that he had a dream.
A very long dream.
In the dream,
he got a system from a high-level plane to help them collect items and feelings.
In the world of movies and TV, he was a big shot, with countless money and beauties, and enjoyed countless beauty in the world.
But when Jiang Hao carefully recalled the content of the dream, he found that his memory was getting more and more vague, just like everyone who dreams, just remembers a little bit when they wake up, but tries hard to recall the dream, and finds that the more you think about it, the more vague it becomes, and finally you can't remember anything.
Is it really a dream? !
"System panel?"
"System."
Jiang Hao called out several times, but there was no response at all.
By the way, I got a lot of skills in my dream.
"Chunjun Sword, come out!"
"Talisman."
"Shenxiao Yulei Technique!"
"Vajra Indestructible Divine Art."
"Animal communication ability?"
He tried for a long time and found no response at all.
"Puff, hahahaha."
A burst of laughter came from the side.
Jiang Hao looked over and found that it was a young couple, who were looking at him with a smile, as if looking at a fool.
"Honey, is this guy stupid because of playing games?" the girl whispered.
"I think he is obsessed with reading novels. I didn't hear him call it a system and call for various abilities. Do you really think there is such a thing as a system in the world? If there is, I want one too." The boy said.
Jiang Hao felt embarrassed when he heard the conversation between the two.
Is he really confused in his sleep?
Everything before was an illusory dream?
Seeing Jiang Hao looking over, the two knew that their voices had been heard. The boy stood up and said to the girl, "Let's go eat."
"Yes, let's go eat." The girl replied.
When the two walked past Jiang Hao, they looked at Jiang Hao twice, and finally smiled at each other and left quickly.
Jiang Hao recalled the scene in his dream again, but he found that he couldn't remember anything. The details were blurry.
He took out his mobile phone to check the time. August 8, 2018, 1:27 p.m.
He opened the selfie and took a photo of himself. The self on the screen was young and handsome, and there was a hint of youth.
"System panel?"
Jiang Hao finally called out again unwillingly, but there was no response.
He finally gave up and smiled. It turned out that it was just a dream of his. When he woke up, everything was back to square one.
He finally remembered now.
He came out to sell insurance, but he got nothing in the morning. No, strictly speaking, he got countless white eyes and ridicule. He came to the riverside park to rest and prepare to continue the battle in the afternoon.
Just now, he received a call from the landlady, asking him to pay three months' rent, but he didn't have that much money in his card.
He might end up on the street soon.
Then he received a call from his colleague Xiaoyu, telling him that the bottom three were going to be cleared out of the team, and he was about to face his career.
In his dream, he was rich and powerful, but reality was still reality, not science fiction. He didn't get the system, and he was still a newcomer who had just graduated for a year and didn't know the world.
The dream was gone, he had to face reality and solve the problem. What should he do next?
Looking at the quiet river, Jiang Hao was a little dazed.
A few minutes later, Jiang Hao finally made up his mind. He picked up his suit and briefcase and walked to the bus stop, and got on the bus back to the insurance company headquarters.
He decided to quit his current job and find an industry where he could work hard but make money. He may not have been so decisive in doing things before. I don’t know if it was because of the influence of that dream that he made the decision so quickly and firmly this time.
When he returned to the company, he saw Xiaoyu, a round-faced girl with glasses. Xiaoyu was a little surprised to see Jiang Hao coming back, and whispered: "Brother Jiang, why are you back now? Did you get the order?"
Jiang Hao smiled at Xiaoyu, "I have something to do when I come back."
Other colleagues were busy, and no one paid attention to Jiang Hao. Jiang Hao sat in his seat, turned on the computer and wrote a resignation letter.
After the resignation letter was typed, Jiang Hao came to the manager's office and knocked on the door.
"Come in."
The manager inside said.
Jiang Hao pushed the door open and walked in, putting his resignation letter on the table. The manager looked at him in surprise, "What does this mean?"
"I'm sorry, manager. I've worked under you for more than a year. I've just entered the society and learned a lot from you."
"My father is sick, rheumatoid arthritis, which is a very difficult disease. My mother is not in good health, and I have younger brothers and sisters in school. Manager, you should understand my pressure."
"It's not that I don't want to work hard, but maybe I'm really not suitable for this industry, so I'm going to resign."
The manager looked at Jiang Hao and pointed to the seat, "Sit down. In fact, the last elimination system I mentioned is mainly to motivate you. Jiang Hao, you are down-to-earth. I see it."
Jiang Hao smiled and said nothing.
"Have you made up your mind?" asked the manager.
"Yes, I have made up my mind."
"What are you going to do after you leave?"
"I'm going to deliver food."
"Delivering food is very hard work. You have to go through wind and rain. It's all hard-earned money, and there is no future." The manager said.
"For the time being, I can only do this. I will find other opportunities later. I'm still young, right?" Jiang Hao said.
The manager sighed, looked at Jiang Hao's resignation letter, signed his name, and pushed the resignation letter over and said:
"It's not easy for everyone. I'll sign it for you. Go to the finance department to collect your final salary."
"Thank you, manager."
Jiang Hao was sincere and moved him with emotion and reason. The manager did not make things difficult for him and he got his final salary of more than 1,200 yuan.
With the 800 yuan in his hand, he now has 2,000 yuan.
When packing up, Xiaoyu came to help. Wu Jinsong and several colleagues looked at Jiang Hao and did not come to join in the fun. There are countless people coming and going in the insurance company every year, but there are actually very few people who really build relationships, even among colleagues.
Jiang Hao didn't have much stuff to begin with, so he only took half a cardboard box, put a small fortune tree on it, and handed two small succulent potted plants to Xiaoyu.
"I'll give you a gift before you leave. I hope you'll take good care of them in the future." Jiang Hao said with a smile.
"Okay, Brother Jiang, I'll take care of them." Xiaoyu took the succulent and whispered.
Jiang Hao had just picked up the box when a tall figure walked in from the door, wearing a red tube skirt that showed off her charming figure.
It was his colleague Ma Su.
Ma Su was slightly stunned when she saw Jiang Hao holding the box, then she thought of something and showed a mocking expression on her face, "Oh, are you fired? You don't know how to work hard and don't know how to pay, and you can't see through the society. I knew that you would have this day."
Jiang Hao was mocked by Ma Su, but his heart was not disturbed at all.
He looked at Ma Su, smiled faintly and said, "Everyone is working hard for their own life, but the direction is different. Ma Su, I hope you will succeed in the future and find the life you want."
After that, he looked at the other people in the office.
"And everyone here, I hope you can succeed."
Jiang Hao left with the box after speaking, and the office became a little quiet.
Ma Su looked at Jiang Hao's back and was surprised. In the past, when she mocked this guy, he would fight back, but she didn't expect him to be so indifferent this time.
Others also felt that Jiang Hao seemed to have changed a little, becoming more open-minded and mature.
Could it be because of resignation?
Jiang Hao returned to his shared apartment with the suitcase in his arms. He thought about it. The rent here was 1,100 yuan a month. In fact, he didn't need to live in such a good house.
He took out his phone and called the landlady.
The call was connected. "Hello, Xiao Jiang, what's the matter?"
"Landlady, I'm sorry, I don't plan to rent it recently. I'm going to move out in the next few days. Thank you for your care this year." Jiang Hao said.
"Ah, you don't want to rent it anymore. That's fine. I'll put it up and find another tenant."
Jiang Hao had the last three days. The next day he rented a house of only a dozen square meters in an old and dilapidated community in the city.
The first floor was very damp. There was only a table and a bed. There was a musty smell in the room. There was a collective toilet and a collective water room. Those who came here to rent were migrant workers who wanted to save money.
The only advantage was that it was in the city center.
The rent was not expensive, 480 yuan a month. Jiang Hao had sold insurance in many places before and knew there was such a community, so he came directly.
After the people were settled, the next thing was to make money. Jiang Hao had already thought about it. His plan was to deliver food first. He had a driver's license and wanted to apply for a designated driver so that he could earn more.
Because it was an old and dilapidated community, there were many fast food restaurants around. They were very cheap and you could eat a full meal for just over ten yuan. They were specifically for migrant workers nearby.
After eating a bowl of noodles, he lay on the bed and stared blankly at the musty smell in the room.
The migrant workers came back one after another. They worked from sunrise to sunset, dragged their tired bodies, ate a bite on the roadside, lay down to sleep, and got up the next day to continue working. It was another day, as if this kind of life had become their whole life.
When Jiang Hao just graduated from college, he had pursuits, ideals, and passion, thinking that he could succeed with his own efforts.
But slowly he found that you can change very little, and it is not easy to live a routine life and live like an ordinary person.
Jiang Hao once watched a movie "Leon: The Professional", in which the girl asked Leon, "Is life always hard, or is it only like this in childhood?"
Leon thought about it, and finally had to tell the girl the truth.
"Always like this!"
