Rebirth: I Want to Collect Rent

Hao Liang walked a short distance away from the woman who had just called him, and another woman in her thirties waved to him and asked if she wanted service. Hao Liang quickly chose to ignore it and walked in again faster.

But almost every section of the park's paths, under the dim street lights and among the small bushes, there would always be another woman calling Hao Liang the handsome guy.

This voice of "handsome guy, do you want to serve me?" almost made Hao Liang think that he was a handsome guy.

Hao Liang quickened his pace, left this somewhat dim park path, and returned to the park square.

Those dark paths in the park were a bit dangerous for Hao Liang, a single young man.

Just now, a woman came over and forced Hao Liang to provide him with services. It was as if the service was free of charge.

If she was younger and more beautiful, Hao Liang might be interested, but the ones on the park paths are not as good as the street girls in some urban villages.

When Hao Liang returned to the square, it was still quite lively. In addition to the children playing, there were also some young people exercising, and even more elderly people in their fifties and sixties dancing in the park.

But it's not like later, when old people would play loud speakers in groups and enjoy their old age. Now it's still relatively restrained. The speakers don't play loud, and the music isn't that exciting yet.

At half past nine, Hao Liang's cell phone rang. Seeing that it was Zhong Yi, Hao Liang picked it up. Zhong Yi's voice came immediately on the phone.

"Ryoko, where are you? I went to your room and knocked on the door, but you were not home."

"I'm here at Park Plaza. Why are you so late from get off work today? I was thinking of calling you just now."

"Are you in Park Plaza? Where are you doing? Is it you, hehe!"

Hearing Zhong Yi's laughter on the phone, he knew that he was thinking wrong. Hao Liang asked again on the phone without explaining, "You haven't told me why you got off work late today."

"I won't be able to explain this for a while. You wait for me at the Park Plaza. I'm here too. Fatty has no free machines here today. He can't access the Internet either." After saying that, Zhong Yi hung up the phone.

After a while, I saw Zhong Yi running over alone. His long hair seemed to have been cut off today. He also had a different hairstyle. He was left with a short bob.

Although Hao Liang was used to seeing Zhong Yi's short-cropped look in his previous life, by that time Zhong Yi had become what he said was a fat male god in the world, so it didn't matter.

But although Zhong Yi is a little fatter than himself now, he is not much better. He looks like a bone even if he takes off his clothes. His face is as round as ever, and his short haircut makes people laugh.

"Liangzi, why are you here today? You've been inside." Zhong Yi ran to Hao Liang and said teasingly.

"I said Zhong Yi, how did you think of taking care of this short position?"

"My master asked me to get a haircut. He said that he would go to work in a new hotel the day after tomorrow and it would be a bad image to have long hair."

"Your master, when did you have a master?"

"I just recognized him this morning. Didn't you tell me yesterday that I would recognize the chef as my master? This morning I bought two cigarettes and a box of wine and went there."

"He agreed, so casually?"

"Well, when he took me to the new hotel after get off work in the evening, he told the head chef that I was his apprentice and asked him to take more care of me."

When Hao Liang heard that Zhong Yi recognized the chef as his master, he was also happy for him. After all, in the chef industry, it is a good thing to have a capable master.

In the future, if you work harder, practice for a few years, and ask the master to introduce you to a small kitchen, it will not be a problem to earn ten thousand or twenty thousand a month.

I'm afraid that Zhong Yi was just like him in his previous life. He had been a chef for so many years, but he didn't have a good chef. He was always a little boy, earning a salary of five to six thousand.

After getting married, his child had headaches and fever, and he had to borrow money from everywhere for hospital expenses. At that time, Hao Liang felt tired for him.

"Then from now on, you can't miss out on any gifts during the New Year and holidays. If you have time, go visit your master more often."

"That's for sure. Do you know how much salary my master negotiated for me? Two thousand two hundred yuan, which is a lot higher than it is now. If I had known, I would have worshiped him as my master earlier." Zhong Yi regretted a little.

said.

Zhong Yi seemed to have thought of something and looked at Hao Liang's hair and said.

"Hao Liang, to be honest, your curly hair can be trimmed. Although short hair is a bit ugly, it is comfortable."

As he spoke, Zhong Yi touched his hair, which he had just cut a few days ago.

After hearing Zhong Yi's words, Hao Liang also felt that his hair was a bit long and straightened it with his hands until it almost reached his mouth. So he answered.

"Well, then I'll do the same thing as you tomorrow. By the way, where did you do it?"

"If you don't see that bridge, just a little below the bridge, there is also an urban village there, the one with a lot of women standing on the street."

"I know, you didn't take care of it with Fatty Hei, right?" Hao Liang asked.

"It's the fat guy with the dark hair. Don't tell me, his skills are really good and the price is cheap. But he doesn't have a little girl to wash your hair and massage it."

The two grown men walked around the square for a while, commenting and looking at the various beauties passing by in the square, but Hao Liang found that Zhong Yi's eyes were always fixed on the women leading the children.

By about ten o'clock, there were fewer and fewer people in the park square. The dancing old ladies also packed up their things and left, and the whole square became quiet.

There were only the occasional sounds of cars passing by on the road outside the park. But there were more and more people going to the dim path in the park. Most of them were older men.

"Hao Liang, next time I bring some chili powder back from the restaurant, how about we soak it in it?" On the way back, Zhong Yi said to Hao Liang who was walking aside.

After hearing Zhong Yi's words, Hao Liang knew what Zhong Yi wanted to do. In the previous life, Zhong Yi was encouraged by some people in the kitchen to put chili powder in water and spend ten yuan to touch it.

But there were several men looking after the woman in the park. When the woman realized something was wrong, she called someone and beat Zhong Yi up. She even paid them 500 yuan in compensation.

"Don't do this. They have people following them. If you get caught, it's a trivial matter to pay for it. You'll also get beaten." Hao Liang persuaded.

"I'm just talking casually. I won't go to your place. I have to go to work tomorrow. I'm very tired these days." When they reached a fork in the road, Zhong Yi said to Hao Liang.

"If I have time to contact you, I'll go back. Goodbye."

After separating from Zhong Yi, Hao Liang walked toward Fatty's Internet Cafe alone. Under the illumination of the street lights, Hao Liang's figure appeared intermittently, revealing a sense of confusion.

The city of Yueshi is developing faster and faster than expected. Now there are various urban villages in the urban area of ​​Yueshi.

But in a few years, these urban villages full of memories of a generation will disappear, and will be replaced by high-rise buildings and modern shopping malls.

And I thought that since there was no room for development, it would be annexed and listed as a district of Yue City, which once again accelerated the pace of development.

The remaining low-rise houses are also ancient buildings with cultural value and have become scenic spots one after another, providing economic sources for the development of the city.

Hao Liang didn't know if he could gain a foothold in this rapidly changing city and achieve a career in this life. Hao Liang found that sometimes knowing too much would make him even more confused.

Like when I was this age, I didn't follow Zhong Yi every day. After work, I would either go to Internet cafes to play games, or hang out with him in bars and discos.

Along the way, I saw night snack stalls in some spacious places along the road, including stir-fry stalls and barbecue stalls.

But in a few years, for the sake of urban sanitation and the creation of a civilized city, these roadside stalls will disappear, and those people who come to Vietnam to set up stalls will disappear among the people in Vietnam.

To become a worker in all walks of life, you can either own a small shop, continue to struggle in this city, and earn a house.

The more he thought about it, the more confused Hao Liang became. He didn't know what to do next. It was hard to believe that he had been cooperating with Director Hong to sell umbrellas, but this was not a long-term solution.

One day the two of them will break up, and Hao Liang feels that this time will not be too long. After all, they are two people from different worlds. They cannot continue to cooperate forever.
