Chapter 42 Home

It's still the same crowded hut.

With an intoxicated expression, he took a deep breath, but then Jiang Chen smiled wryly and found that he had sucked a nose.

The bed was covered with dust because no one lived there for too long. Looking around at the apartment where he had lived for two years, a feeling similar to nostalgia suddenly appeared in his heart.

Shaking his head with a smile, he threw this inexplicable feeling out of his mind.

Maybe it's time to say goodbye...

Jiang Chen took out his phone and called the landlord, as if he had expected it, and moved the phone two feet away from his ear.

"...Hello? Jiang Chen! That house, if you want to continue renting it, you should pay Lao Tzu the money for the second half of the year! I tell you, if you don't rent this house, it will be rented by people. If it weren't for you You are young and working alone in Wanghai, and you have no one to rely on. I threw your belongings out! His grandma's, no one answers your phone calls for a few days. ." Wu Jie scolded and roared across the phone, as if he had settled for Jiang Chen.

Of course, if it had been half a month ago, maybe he could have eaten Jiang Chen to death. But now...

"You can rent the house to someone else." Jiang Chen said lightly.

"What? What did you say kid?" The tone on the phone was full of surprise. To be honest, Wu Jie really didn't expect Jiang Chen to be so hard-hearted, and simply said that if he didn't rent it, he wouldn't rent it.

not rent? Where do you live if you don't rent my room?

"If you yell at the kid, I will keep you from opening your mouth for the rest of your life." Jiang Chen's tone was so flat and light that the landlord couldn't hear any fluctuations in his emotions.

It's just that that chill, like a poisonous snake, climbed into the heart of Wu Jie, who was about to scold him. So that the words crawled to his mouth, but it was like cotton stuffed in his throat, and he couldn't make a sound for a long time.

Jiang Chen didn't bother to talk nonsense with this kind of low-mindedness, so he hung up the phone. Although the landlord gave him a lot of winks before, but now he has no desire or desire to care about. After all, the dog barks at you every day, you can't lie down and bark back at him, right?

It's a waste of time and a waste of morals.

Of course, if this dog is too shameless, Jiang Chen doesn't mind going up to slap him. It's your freedom to scold or not, but it's my freedom to beat you or not.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen's phone beeped a series of text messages, and the screen was full of caller IDs of missed calls. Because he was on the end of the world not long ago, these text messages naturally couldn't reach his mobile phone.

Swiping his finger across the screen, in addition to the phone call from the landlord, there was also a phone call from Xia Shiyu. It is estimated that this chick should be in a hurry. The chairman of her own has suddenly disappeared for so many days, leaving no news.

Jiang Chen smiled, but suddenly his fingers trembled.

It was a phone call from home, and there were more than ten lines.

Seeing this, Jiang Chen's eyes couldn't help but fill with a layer of water mist.

Maybe... it's time to go back and have a look?

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Chen dialed the familiar number, suppressing the grief of being away from home for many years.

"Hello? Mom, it's me..."

"Chen'er, you've made a phone call. You've made your dad so anxious these days," came a familiar and excited voice from the other end of the phone.

"Old man, Chen'er called back!"

"Mom, don't call that name, it's too slutty..." A smile flashed across Jiang Chen's face, and he reached out and wiped the corner of his eyes.

"What a motherfucker! How did you talk to your mother, this kid, has his wings grown hard!" When he heard the tough and angry shout from the other end of the phone, Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a burst of anger in his heart. comfortable.

It seems that my parents are in good health...

This also made Jiang Chen, who had not been home to accompany them for a long time, feel a little less guilty.

Worried that he would not make a name for himself outside and disappoint his parents who hoped for his son to become a dragon, Jiang Chen used his work as a shield again and again, and was reluctant to go back. Even during the Chinese New Year, it was dismissed on the grounds that the unit worked overtime.

Although he also knows that even if he is not promising, his parents will still accept him enthusiastically and welcome him into the house with joy. But he couldn't accept it...

But now, those concerns are gone...Dad, Mom, your son has something to offer.

Jiang Chen's hand holding the phone trembled slightly, listening to the nagging and exhorting, smiling in response to the exhorting.

"...Son, you have worked hard outside. Do you have enough money? Don't let yourself get tired. You are in the beginning stage of your career. If you are short of money, tell your mom that she still has some savings."

"How can you have enough money? Now the key problem for my son is to buy a house! No house, which girl can look up to you now... Son, it's okay to be tired, we are men, we can bear it! Your parents still have some savings. , You can find a house in Wanghai City, and you should pay the down payment first. Once you have a house, you can bring a daughter-in-law to your parents to see. Your parents are still waiting for their grandson. "

"No need, Mom and Dad, your son is promising now. I set up a company in Wanghai City, and someone else is already working for me. I'll take care of the house myself, so don't worry about it! Pay more attention to your health. , don't always think about saving money! Spend where you need to spend, if it's not enough, I'll give it..." Jiang Chen rubbed the corners of his eyes and smiled.

"You kid is still educating Laozi, ah? Haha, wife, our son is promising! Haha..." The voice on the other end of the phone was full of excitement.

"What? Chen'er, are you doing business outside? You must be careful, don't lie to others! Let me tell you, I've been watching the news recently! A lot of outside..." There are also concerns and worries.

"Don't worry, my son is much smarter than you." Jiang Jianguo said with a big laugh. When he heard that his son was promising, the joy in his heart was even more joyful than winning the lottery.

After dinner, I was bragging with the old men at the door. Our college student opened a company in Wanghai City and asked others to work for him! This is good, and the daughter-in-law's affairs are also easy to handle. Who doesn't want to marry into a big city? Don't you have no target for the daughter of the old Liu family, the old Xia from the front building, and the old Zhang from the property office...

"Your son is not my son!" Li Xuemei glared at his wife fiercely.

......

Hearing the familiar bickering on the other end of the phone, Jiang Chen raised his left hand and once again secretly wiped the corner of his slightly astringent eyes.

This is the feeling of home, but he has always chosen to avoid it.

It has nothing to do with rich or poor, the purest feeling in this world is family love.

Maybe it's time to go back and have a look around? How did you say that sentence... Yes, riches and honors do not return to their hometown, such as clothing at night.

Thinking about it, a smile appeared on Jiang Chen's face.

After talking on the phone with his parents, he lay back on the bed, ignoring the dust splashing all over the house.

I'm about to move from here... Thinking of this, Jiang Chen is still somewhat melancholy, and wants to lie down on this piece of cotton wool for a while.

500 million US dollars, which is more than 3 billion yuan.

Jiang Chen didn't know what the specific exchange rate was, but it was roughly estimated to be this number.

What kind of villa to buy?

He had never thought about this before. After all, let alone a villa, a month ago, even a house with more than 50 square meters was something Jiang Chen didn't dare to think about.

But now of course none of that matters.

Can one not understand? It doesn't matter, the two of them think together.

He raised the phone again, but Jiang Chen's fingers froze...

Who should I call?

Suddenly realizing that he didn't seem to have any friends in this city, the expression on his face began to become a little subtle, and he couldn't help but smile awkwardly.

never mind.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Chen sighed, and dialed Xia Shiyu's number directly. Anyway, he had to call her, so he just consulted.

Xia Shiyu, who was anxious because Jiang Chen's whereabouts was unknown, suddenly felt a shock in her pocket. After being stunned for a while, she immediately took out the Love Crazy 5 that had missed calls on the screen. When she saw the familiar name, she laughed angrily.

"Hello? Did I hear it right? The chairman of our company actually called me back." The voice was not cold, at least Jiang Chen heard a noise similar to gnashing of teeth.

"Ahem, I've been busy with business recently, so I won't talk about this..." Jiang Chen cheekily chose to change the subject.

"Oh? What business requires the phone to be turned off? Do you know that the company is in its infancy? Recruitment? The direction of the company? Is this your company or my company..."

The voice on the other end of the phone was so fast that he couldn't help but smile bitterly and moved the phone two inches away. Xia Shiyu, this little girl, reacted so strongly to his disappearance, which was somewhat beyond his expectations.

But business matters.

"...Can you accompany me to see the room?"

"..." Xia Shiyu hung up the phone.

Within two seconds, the phone rang again.

Enduring the nameless anger in his heart, Xia Shiyu took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to hang up Jiang Chen directly.

"Cough, don't hang up on me, what I said is true! Make time for another day..."

"What does it have to do with me when you buy a house?" Xia Shiyu said coldly, her chest heaving violently. Jiang Chen's hippy smile made her feel a little humiliated, who had been worrying about his whereabouts these days.

Yes, it is humiliation.

It's as if you've been busy for a long time and others don't take your efforts seriously at all.

"Of course it matters... You can come and play if you're okay." However, Jiang Chen, who was on the phone, could not tell what Xia Shiyu's expression was, and still smiled.

Hearing Jiang Chen's words, Xia Shiyu was stunned.

Huh? ...she touched her forehead in confusion, feeling the unnatural heat from her hands.

No fever...weird?

"Hey, are you listening? I said, I have already done the development of the mobile game... It is better to say that the development has been completed instead of being done. What needs to be done next It is the recruitment of talents for server maintenance. Of course, you should know more about the specific personnel to be recruited than me, so I will leave it to you. But if you need me to accompany you to the job fair, I don't mind, hehe... .. the premise is that you accompany me to see the house."

"Okay." Xia Shiyu agreed without much thought. She felt a little surprised when she found that she had agreed so decisively to this completely illogical request.

It must be because of work...

If he doesn't agree to this boring request, he will definitely disappear again.

Well, yes, for work...

After hanging up the phone, Xia Shiyu rubbed her tired temples and explained to herself. Although, "explaining to herself" made her feel a little superfluous.

Get it!

Jiang Chen stretched and threw the phone aside.

Girls are attentive, take a girl to pick a house, you can also pick a tasteful. Although he likes to pretend to be B and is narcissistic, he is still very self-aware. For example, he never believed in his own taste. Just listening to those developers trying to fool around, Jiang Chen didn't know what to do.

As for whether you are interested in Xia Shiyu's little girl? To be honest, he really didn't think about that.

It's just that when he picks up the phone, in this city, the only person he can think of who can call to discuss the matter is this former female boss... Oh no, it should be called a female subordinate now, Ha ha ha ha...

If you want to buy a house, you need money. Jiang Chen's storage space is filled with gold. Although it is worth more than 500 million US dollars, he can't buy a house with a few gold coins, right?

Jiang Chen picked up the mobile phone that was thrown aside again, and dialed an international long-distance number.

However, Jiang Chen, who put the phone to his ear, frowned faintly.
