A film series in the Republic of China: The legendary Taoist priest in Shanghai

Chapter 233 Lost



Chapter 233 Lost

After get off work, I called Uncle Jiu and asked him to go for barbecue.

The two of them ate some skewers and drank beer, and Uncle Jiu started to complain.

"It's too bad. The company has no intention of developing the drug. There are only four of us. How can we make money to buy a car and a house? I quit. I want to go to my senior brother for help."

Uncle Jiu’s senior brother is called Shi Jian, and he is the owner of a small private pharmaceutical company.

It is said that an antidepressant drug is being developed, and it seems to be called "Forget Worry Powder".

He has always wanted to recruit Uncle Jiu to start a business together.

Uncle Jiu thought his company was too small and refused to agree.

But because we have no money to buy a car or a house, my wife is about to run away.

Uncle Jiu plans to change jobs and try his luck.

Wencai sighed and didn't dare to give any advice.

In short, if Uncle Jiu left, there would be no distinction between him and Qiu Sheng.

Qiu Sheng has been engaged in micro-business recently, selling facial masks and cosmetics. He is considered a veteran in the company, a slacker who takes money without doing any work.

Without Uncle Jiu, there is a 90% chance that the Rabid Dog R&D team will be laid off.

Even if he wasn't laid off, without an experienced researcher like Uncle Jiu, he wouldn't be able to do the job.

The two were very drunk and Uncle Jiu even vomited all over the floor.

After sending Uncle Jiu home, Wencai returned home.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw Jia Yiren, who was dressed sexy and twisting her waist, going to work with Ding Li, a gigolo who was dressed in a white suit and looked very decent.

"Alas, such a beautiful girl, how can an honest man like me not be able to get her."

I went to the bathroom, washed my face, and looked in the mirror.

The mirror showed a face that was almost ten years older than his actual age.

Wencai looks old naturally, and he is also engaged in research and development. Although he is less than 30 years old, he looks like a middle-aged man in his 40s.

He has no money, no house, and no good looks, so it’s no wonder that no girlfriend is interested in him.

I drank some wine and was about to fall asleep in bed, but I heard the isolated yellow-haired guy and the spirited girl making the bed clatter.

This type of rental house is usually renovated with plywood and is not soundproof at all.

"Alas, even the yellow-haired guy has a girl. That spirited girl is actually pretty, but it's a pity that she's just a hottie."

It is a traditional habit of the Chinese people to watch Douyin when they can’t sleep.

I opened Douyin and watched some videos for a while.

It’s very strange that all the videos on Douyin are the ones I have watched before.

I slid dozens of times in a row, and none of them were new.

Just as he was wondering, Wencai's eyes lit up.

He saw the popular female anchor Bai Meigui singing "Little Enemies".

White Rose is pure and pretty, and she often competes with the hot beauty Red Peony.

Carnivals, rockets, and sports cars are flying all over the sky.

Among them, the one who voted the most was called Wu Ye and the other was called Shu Sheng.

Both of them were big brothers over level 60, and they kept brushing Huazi desperately, making the audience watching the live broadcast extremely excited and followed suit.

Wencai calculated that the two of them made at least one million in one live broadcast.

One million!

Wencai couldn’t earn that much in ten years.

In fact, drug research and development is very profitable, but unfortunately their projects are too niche and have not produced any results.

If you study some best-selling drugs like Great Brother, it is very common to earn millions a year.

People are more infuriating than people.

Wencai slid into a very strange live broadcast room.

"Teacher Hou is here to teach you foreign languages. Thank you for coming, little Taoist priest from Maoshan. Welcome, welcome!"

Mr. Hou is an old Mediterranean man, holding a horsewhip and wearing a Batman mask.

Maoshan Little Taoist Priest is Wencai’s online name. Seeing President Hou welcoming him seriously, Wencai almost wanted to laugh.

Then I looked at the number of people online in the live broadcast room and saw 1.

He was the only spectator.

I listened to Teacher Hou speaking a few poor English words, which were not even up to the spoken English level of a middle school student.

Wencai was about to slide away when he saw a beautiful woman in her early thirties wearing white stockings and having a sexy figure come into the live broadcast room.

"Teacher Hou, I want to take extra classes. I want to study with you for another month."

"No, I'm a law-abiding person. I only teach a student for one month. You've graduated, so don't come tomorrow. Also, I'm live streaming, so don't disturb my work. Are you ok?"

The beautiful woman said she wanted to hug Teacher Hou, and the two of them were pulling each other and they saw the live camera.

After a burst of whip sounds and gasps, Mr. Hou picked up the camera and straightened his clothes.

Wencai was stunned. He didn't expect that Mr. Hou was such a ruthless person.

Wen Cai then chose to follow him and became Mr. Hou’s only fan. He then gritted his teeth and rewarded Mr. Hou with a sports car.

Not for anything else, just respect for the strong.

Mr. Hou was also very happy and immediately added Wencai as a friend.

After chatting, the two found out that they lived in the same neighborhood.

Actually, this is nothing strange. Douyin always likes to push people nearby.

"I am a retired foreign language teacher who has just learned how to live stream. If you are interested in foreign languages, you can come to my training class and I can teach you step by step."

Teacher Hou left an address for Wencai.

Out of curiosity, Wencai went to Teacher Hou’s foreign language training center after get off work the next day.

They are all beauties, seven or eight of them are as mature as honey and are learning foreign languages in the training class.

Without further ado, Wencai became Teacher Hou's only male disciple.

A few days later, Uncle Jiu came to the company and resigned.

Generally, there is a one-month handover period after resignation, and some important researchers even have a confidentiality period of three months to six months.

There is a confidentiality period of more than a year after leaving the company.

Unexpectedly, the company immediately approved Uncle Jiu’s resignation, and he could hand over his work and leave right away.

This is good for people like Uncle Jiu who have found a good employer.

But it is a bad thing for Wencai and Qiu Sheng.

After Uncle Jiu left, Qiu Sheng shook his head and said, "Wencai, find a job. I guarantee that we will have a farewell dinner in a month at most."

Qiu Sheng spoke in a relaxed tone. This job was just a side job for him, while selling facial masks on WeChat was his main job.

I heard that Qiu Sheng recently became the agent for Sister Tingting’s zombie mask. This mask has a strange name but is very popular among the beautiful girls.

Qiu Sheng posts on his Moments every day: "A zombie mask, put it on and you will be like a zombie for a thousand years without decaying, and stay young forever."

For a while, Wencai had no intention of working.

When it was almost time to get off work, his second uncle suddenly called and said that his cousin Xu Wenqiang was coming to Shanghai to work, and asked Wencai to pick up his cousin tomorrow.

"Cousin Wen Qiang, he graduated."

My cousin Xu Wenqiang was once the pride of the Xu family. A few years ago, he was admitted to Peking University.

But during a boycott of Japanese goods, he smashed someone's car with a U-shaped lock and broke someone's ribs.

He was finally sentenced to four years in prison, but unexpectedly he was released this year.

The next day, Wencai took a taxi during his lunch break to go to the high-speed rail station to wait for his cousin to arrive.

In the crowd, a handsome man wearing a black suit, with a lonely and somewhat vicissitudes of life, walked towards Wencai carrying a tattered leather suitcase.

"Cousin, long time no see."

Xu Wenqiang smiled sweetly like a handsome young man from a wealthy family, and you couldn't tell at all that he was a man who had just been released from prison.

If Wencai hadn't known his background, he would have thought he was a PhD who had just returned from abroad.

"Yes, long time no see. I have to go to work soon. Please wait for me to get off work at my company."

"As you wish."

Xu Wenqiang has just arrived in Shanghai, so he will definitely stay at his place for a few days.

Then you need to find a job and a house to settle down.

Wencai brought Xu Wenqiang upstairs to the company, transferred him 500 yuan and asked him to have something to eat at KFC while waiting for him to get off work.

A few hours later, Wencai got off work and found that there was no one in KFC.

I sent a message to Xu Wenqiang and found out that he actually went to the Starbucks next door.

"Alas, that is famously expensive!"

Wencai sighed. He had been in Shanghai for so long, but he still couldn't bear to drink a cup of coffee.
