Chapter 2 Le Zi's Girlfriend

  A delicate and elegant figure clearly floats in my mind, her gaze when she turns back is as resolute as a knife inserted into my chest, and even now the wound still bleeds from time to time.

  Watching their three-year relationship come to an end, Yang Mu was in so much pain that he didn't even have the strength to say goodbye.

  The day after Dan Ya left, Yang Mu, who had been waiting for a breakup, received a call from Dan Ya's mother.

  At the agreed place she handed herself a bank card and left with a sentence:

  "Don't bother her again, you're all still young, and later on, you'll slowly find what's most suitable for yourself."

  She didn't give Yangmu a chance to refuse, perhaps in her opinion money can solve everything. Yangmu had no choice but to put away the bank card and hasn't touched it until now.

  From that moment on, Yang Mu told himself to be strong from then on. There will come a day when he can throw this card in their faces and tell them that money is just like toilet paper for him.

  When he came back to himself from his memories, Jiajia had already left, leaving behind only the empty bottles she had drunk, shining brightly there.

  Let go of his emotions and get hurt again, Yang Mu followed the rhythm of the bar and got excited with a few beauties in the dance pool.

  Just as a beauty was walking up to him with a flirtatious smile, Yang Mu downed the last of his wine and gave her a smile before heading towards the door.

  For years, he had been going to bars just to appreciate, never fallen, and tonight was no exception. After taking a big breath of the turbid air outside, Yang Mu still came to Jiajia's place with a thick face, now he could only find this place for himself to live.

  Actually, he felt quite sorry for Jiajia. She always thought of herself in everything, such as just now when she stood up and stopped Yangmu at the critical moment. Sometimes Yangmu even thought that having her as a girlfriend was enough to satisfy many people.

  Jia Jia opened the door with a very unhappy expression, then went back to her bedroom and threw out a quilt and a pillow. Yang Mu accurately caught her offerings, relying on his technique honed over many years.

  Facing the cold and icy door of the bedroom, Yang Mu shouted loudly:

  "I'll make breakfast for you tomorrow morning, so you can sleep in a bit longer."

  In the past, as long as Jiajia was angry, Yangmu would change his ways to please her. This trick had always worked, so even if Jiajia was being difficult tonight, it was because she was angry, and Yangmu needed to make an effort.

  The next day, early in the morning, Yang Mu rode the "BMW" borrowed from Yuezi to find a job all over the city. Because he treated his previous boss as a human being, he was fired by him. Every time he was rejected by a work unit, Yang Mu would scold that bald-headed old lecher fiercely.

  He didn't get close to his secretary in daily life, and then accidentally slept with her. He used the teacher to frame himself until now, and directly fired himself.

  Yang Mu has always been resentful about sleeping with his secretary, which is one of the biggest regrets in his life for several years. He often regretted it.

  After being fired by Lao Se Lang, Yang Mu once again felt that he must quickly have his own business and cannot be called upon at their beck and call.

  Several days in a row looking for a job, but no suitable one was found. I studied architecture in college, but after graduating for more than a year, I have been engaged in planning, and my skills are not proficient, so I don't have much work experience.

  Yang Mu had no choice but to find a construction site to see if he could find something, after all, he still had to eke out a living in this city and realize his seemingly unrealistic ambitions. The middle-aged man in charge looked at Yang Mu with suspicion and asked:

  "You look so clean and innocent, can you handle it?"

  "Go for it, definitely go for it, as long as you get paid."

  The middle-aged man looked up and down at the poplar wood again, nodded and said:

  "Look at you, your head is still usable, so let's try it out for a day first, whether it works or not, you'll have a rough idea yourself."

  After finishing speaking, he pointed to another young man beside him and asked him to bring some willow wood. The young man quickly took out the tobacco and lit it for the middle-aged man and that young man.

  After the middle-aged man left, Yang Mu followed He Dali to the construction site. In the morning, Yang Mu was fine, but after lunch, he felt sore all over his body and was dragged by He Dali to the construction site with great difficulty.

  In the afternoon, Yangmu felt like it was a year in a day. He was tired and hungry. At noon, he saw that all the workers' food was of one color, so Yangmu could only symbolically take a bite.

  One day, Yangmu also learned that as long as he had a little skill on the construction site, earning over 10,000 yuan in a month was not a problem if the weather was good. Compared to his previous monthly salary of 4-5,000 yuan, this was much stronger.

  Nowadays, migrant workers are in high demand, while university graduates like myself, despite having received higher education, earn less than they do.

  Every day shouting can't find a job, in fact, it's just not wanting to suffer and be tired. Even if there is that determination, they can't put down their self-esteem to do those dirty and tiring jobs.

  He gritted his teeth and persisted until 8 pm when he finally got off work at the construction site. The middle-aged man asked Yang Mu if he could still do it, and after weighing the hardships of the day against the one thousand yuan from the drunken girl, he nodded vigorously.

  The middle-aged man smiled and told Yang Mu that he could call him Dong Shu or Dong Ge, and he was a small foreman on this construction site. What's more, he told Yang Mu that he could live here for free, which solved Yang Mu's big problem.

  This way, I won't have to bother Lezi anymore. He's currently in a passionate love affair. If one day I accidentally ruin his good thing, this brother will have nothing to do with me.

  Le Zai's BMW sped along, the wooden hummer singing a happy tune as it galloped back to Le Zai's residence. What a coincidence that he saw him and a woman bidding each other farewell.

  It's just a rumor that he's dating, and as for the object of his affection, Yang Mu, I've never seen her before. Overall, it seems okay, anyway, she's more than enough to match him, Le Zi.

  It wasn't until they had both finished smoking two cigarettes that they truly parted ways, and the look in their eyes was as if they were bidding each other farewell. Yang Mu's entire body broke out in goosebumps at the sight.

  "Hurry up, Lezi, I'm cold."

  Le Zi was startled by Yang Mu's sudden appearance, and slowly withdrew her gaze from the gradually disappearing figure to stare at Yang Mu and say:

  "You're freezing me out... Ah, mom, where did you go? How did it become like this? Where are you hurt? Tell your brother quickly."

  Le Zi was shocked by the Yang Mu in front of him, who was covered in dust and had a dirty face. In his memory, although Yang Mu was a bit rough around the edges, he didn't expect him to end up like this. After all, back in school, Yang Mu was also the object of affection for many young girls.

  "You're the one who got hurt, didn't you hear me say 'careful'?"

  "Oh no, it can't be that the external injury has radiated to the internal organs and is starting to take effect."

  "You can disappear from here, don't you think you were too mushy with that guy just now?"

  "What's wrong with that? We just hugged and kissed, it's no big deal. You're the kind of person who doesn't feel anything for love, you shouldn't be reacting like this."

  As they spoke, the two had already entered the house. Lezi suppressed her urge to laugh and handed Yangmu a glass of water, then took out her phone and snapped several photos "click click click" and posted them online.

  Next were various guesses from people around him, making phone calls to Yang Mu for verification. Yang Mu carefully explained that it was because Le Zi's family had a manure pit and he had taken Le Zi's way.

  In the end, Yang and Lezi each held a can of beer in the small living room, chatting idly, and Yang calmly told Lezi that he would be working as a laborer on the construction site.

  Le Zi hesitated for a moment after hearing this, then took a big gulp of wine. As for Yang Mu's actions, Le Zi didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

  Among the three good brothers, Yangmu is absolutely the first in terms of ability, but after graduating from university, only Yangmu mixed the worst. On the one hand, it was because of his unruly personality, and on the other hand, there was no good platform for him to show off.

  Now Yangmu goes to work on the construction site, probably also reluctantly. This cruel society gives them the best experience: in the face of life, people are fragile. Whether it is Yangmu or Lezi, the first lesson they learn after entering society is how to survive, and then talk about ideals and dreams.

  Watching Lezi worrying about himself, Yangmu couldn't help but shift the topic to him and asked what was going on with that girl just now.

  Watching Lezi's stuttering answer, Yangmu almost laughed out loud, and only a man like him would be so unnatural about his feelings.

  After much difficulty, Yang Mu finally found out that the woman's name was Jin Yang, and she was Le Zi's colleague and girlfriend, and they had been together for some time.

  Can't help but say that Lezi did a really poor job, they've been in love for so long and haven't even brought them to this circle to hang out.

  Yang Mu took the initiative to pick up the phone and dialed Jiajia, Bangbang, and Bangbang's girlfriend, saying that Lezi had something important to announce tomorrow and hoped they could get together. The location was naturally at Bangbang's bar.
