I just want to sell products, but you're forcing me to perform talents.

21: 30.

Liu Hong had just gotten home from get off work.

As a real estate professional, this is a normal time for her to get home, but after standing all day, she was exhausted.

As was her habit, Liu Hong ordered a claypot rice dish for dinner using her phone and then collapsed onto the sofa.

In the laundry basket next to it, there were a few pieces of underwear and a set of work clothes.

Too lazy to wash it, I'll leave it for another day.

Since starting work, I rarely have the opportunity to wear my own clothes, so the only clothes I have to wash every day are my work clothes.

It's okay if this thing gets a little dirty.

A white short-eared cat was nestled in a corner of the sofa. When it saw Liu Hong return, it slowly raised itself, lazily bent over, and flicked its hind legs.

Stretching and shaking its fur, the white cat slowly walked to Liu Hong's side, glanced at Liu Hong a few times, and then lay down on Liu Hong's arm.

"Ami, were you a good girl today?"

Liu Hong tilted her head and looked at the white cat. She casually stroked the cat a few times, but seeing that the white cat didn't pay much attention to her, she picked up her phone out of boredom.

Within the work group, people continued to post various battle reports and logs.

Who cares? Posting a blog before 11 PM isn't too late.

Various @mentions and replies flashed by quickly: "Received," "Okay."

Liu Hong was too lazy to write in her diary at this moment, and also too lazy to check the work group chat.

Replying a little later won't kill anyone.

Liu Hong casually turned on Kuaiyin (a Chinese audio streaming service).

The short videos gradually brought some life back to Liu Hong's lazy heart.

"Ahhh, I really want to climb Mount Tai and have barbecue like Xin-ge and the others!"

"Did Xin-ge go to visit Ye Xian?"

Liu Hong curiously clicked on Ye Xian's account.

Recently, someone named "Ye Xian" seems to be quite popular, and I often see his short videos being pushed to me. Several of his songs are very good. Liu Hong hadn't followed Ye Xian's account before; his videos were all pushed to her by the platform, and she would only watch them for a few minutes before swiping away.

Such online celebrity accounts rise quickly, disappear quickly, and are quickly forgotten by the public.

Even if the notifications stop, Liu Hong won't bother to search for them.

This time, seeing the video of Xin Ge and Fei Ge made her suddenly want to see what this man had been up to lately.

"People as outstanding as me"

He should have lived a brilliant life.

How come after more than 20 years...

Still adrift in the sea of ​​people

... "

The deep, gentle voice made Liu Hong, who was still somewhat languid, sit up a little straighter.

This lyric is a bit heartbreaking.

Once upon a time, Liu Hong also dreamed of working as hard as she did when she was taking exams at school, striving for several years after graduation to reach a management position and the pinnacle of her career.

However, reality is like a heartless scumbag.

I'll slap you on the left cheek.

Then, I slapped you on the right cheek.

From childhood to adulthood, Liu Hong was always among the top five in her class, the pride of her parents, and the darling of her teachers. Even in university, she continued to dedicate herself to obtaining various certificates.

She always believed that she was the best, so she rejected the job her parents arranged for her in her hometown and wanted to make a name for herself in Mohai, a top-tier city in the Tang Dynasty.

Three years have passed.

Liu Hong, who studied business administration, became a real estate salesperson.

From constantly changing jobs to eventually settling down, Liu Hong has passed her earliest period of hard work and is now in a state of complacency.

I never wear makeup when I'm not going to work.

Decline invitations from colleagues whenever possible.

Try to avoid going to class reunions if possible.

I go to work on time and work overtime until late at night, then go home and eat takeout.

There are no weekends. Even if you take a day off in lieu of a day off, you have to be on duty here whenever a client arrives.

I've completely forgotten the professional knowledge I learned in university.

Even if you memorize it, it's not very useful. It's something that society has long since discarded. You treasure it when you're in school, but you only realize after you graduate that what you learned was outdated knowledge.

I've never met those rich and handsome guys in TV dramas, nor have I encountered any gentle and considerate mentors in novels. I've learned everything through hard work and struggle on my own. I've learned more in the year since graduation than I have in the previous twenty years.

Liu Hong, who had lofty ambitions, gradually realized that she might have been learning knowledge in a rather "clumsy" way.

In the past, in small counties, the level of understanding was just that high.

After arriving in the big city, I realized that there are smarter people everywhere.

Society and the workplace are more complex than we imagine.

If you want to climb the ladder, a little bit of cleverness won't get you much of a chance.

She was no longer the darling of heaven in the eyes of her parents and classmates.

He was just an ordinary, unremarkable person.

This sense of frustration is probably the main reason why she has been lying down lately.

"People like me who are lost"

People like me searching

A person like me who accomplishes nothing

How many people have you met?

... "

In the scene, Ye Xian is busy organizing the inventory, while Qiu's mother is packing and shipping the goods.

These two people, one handsome and the other beautiful, both had their sleeves rolled up and were doing the simplest yet most tiring job.

The wine sold every day is packaged securely and beautifully, and arranged neatly and comfortably. The delivery guy always comes with a smile when he picks up the package.

[Brother Xian really isn't putting on a show! I always thought he was a new influencer promoted by an MCN, but it turns out he's just an ordinary convenience store owner.]

[Didn't Xin Ge and the others verify it themselves? Xian Ge is just an ordinary person!]

[During the live stream the day before yesterday, Brother Xian said that people like him are just ordinary people, and I even said he was faking it. Now, looking at it, he really isn't any different from us.]

[The difference is huge! Even if he's just a small shop owner, Brother Xian works harder than us, okay? How many times has he delivered drinks late at night? Look at him now that he's famous, what is he eating? Just a bowl of wontons he made himself.]

……

That's right, the dinner Ye Xian made this time was a bowl of wontons.

Northerners call it wonton, Southerners call it wonton, and people from Chongqing and Sichuan call it wonton.

Under the bright lights, Ye Xian looked like a master chef, engrossed in preparing the most delicious food in the world.

First, cut a piece of foreleg meat into small pieces. Then, Ye Xian held a knife with both hands and quickly chopped each piece of meat up and down.

The forearms with their sleeves rolled up, revealing bulging muscles, exude a powerful beauty.

Add minced scallions, ginger, garlic, five-spice powder, salt, light soy sauce, and oyster sauce to the chopped meat and mix well.

Mix the dough, let it rest, knead it, and roll it out.

After the huge dough was rolled out, it was stacked layer upon layer. Ye Xian used a knife to cut it into long strips, stretched them out, and then cut them into trapezoidal cubes.

Watching Ye Xian carefully wrap the wontons and put them in the pot, Liu Hong, who had just been feeling a little sentimental, suddenly felt hungry again.

Why hasn't my food delivery arrived yet?

[It seems Brother Xian is a savory carnivore, eating wontons instead of glutinous rice balls for the Lantern Festival!]

[Brother Xian is tempting us again late at night; his wonton wrappers are so thin! White with a hint of pink, just like my skin!]

[I really want Brother Xian to feed me a bite. How many women have already been to his place? It should be my turn soon!]

I'm afraid you're a burly man with unkempt feet!

[Qiu Qing, Xin Ge, Fei Ge, Wang Feifei, Wang Yin, Sun Li! Six women! Six women!]

[Upstairs, you remember it too clearly!]

……

I'm just an ordinary person. I used to think I could get into Peking University, but who knew I'd end up in the Great Northern Wilderness!

[Twenty-something? I'm almost forty and still struggling in this world!]

People like me have no special advantages; we can only rely on our own hard work, even if it means suffering setbacks, because I believe the sun is just around the corner.

[From a young age, I firmly believed that my fate was in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven! Now I believe, I'm not the main character.]
