"Hey, Mom, have you eaten?"

"Well, I've eaten it too."

"...."

"Um...Mom, I have to pay the rent tomorrow...My salary hasn't been paid yet, can...can..."

"That's enough, that's enough. It doesn't need to be that much. One thousand yuan is enough."

"Well, I understand, Mom, you and Dad should take good care of yourselves at home. Well, bye."

Bai Sheng hung up the phone and sighed.

It had been half a year since graduation, but he still had to ask his family for money to pay the rent. Bai Sheng felt deep self-blame and guilt.

Bai Sheng took a deep breath, first received the three thousand yuan transferred from Bai Mu, and then said thank you.

Then, click on the landlord's WeChat window, click on transfer, enter 2100 yuan, and then send it.

"Uncle Liu, the rent has been transferred to you." Bai Sheng sent a message.

"Ding dong!" The transfer was received.

Uncle Liu: "Okay, Xiaobai, remember to pay the rent on time next time. It can't be like this time, which was delayed for two days."

Bai Sheng: "Well, Uncle Liu, don't worry, I will hand it in on time next time."

Putting the phone on the desk, he sighed again.

It's really hard for a penny to defeat a heroic man.

Huabei has been closed due to cashing out last month, and Jiebei has also closed down.

All micro-loans from WeChat failed to pass the review and cannot be borrowed.

IOUs on Meituan, JD.com, etc. have all been borrowed long ago. As for credit cards...the limit is only 2,000, which has been used up early.

As for borrowing money from friends...the ones who are better at it are not as good as him...

I had no choice but to call home...

"After paying rent for three months, I still have 2,000 yuan left. My salary will not be paid until ten days. I still have to pay back 1,300 yuan on the 8th... I have to pay it back on the 10th... I have to pay it back on the 20th..."

When he remembered that his salary was only two thousand five thousand, he sighed again.

Bai Sheng, male, 21 years old.

Currently, I live in a single room with a bathroom in Building 601, Building 3, Runjiayuan Community, Yuelu District, Xingcheng.

The rent is 711 per month, which is not too expensive. The only drawback is that there is no elevator on the sixth floor, and there are a lot of cockroaches.

Work as a sales consultant in a financial company, with a base salary of 2,500.

This is only possible if you have a college degree. Otherwise, the basic salary is only 2,200.

"Xiao Bai, it's already eight o'clock, why don't you get off work?" A man came to Bai Sheng's desk.

"Let's go after get off work. There should be no traffic jam now." Bai Sheng began to pack his things.

"Indeed, there is no traffic now. If you and I hadn't been on the same road, I would have driven a little longer than you, so I'll leave first." Wang Yao patted Bai Sheng on the shoulder, and then strode out.

Seeing this, Bai Sheng was disdainful: "Isn't it just that I bought a car? I know how to show off every day."

However, I can't help but feel envious.

This Wang Yao has a customer who continues to trade on the company's platform, which can provide him with a steady stream of performance.

Every month, he gets a commission of more than 20,000 yuan without doing anything.

It's just... people comparing themselves to each other, it's so irritating.

I turned off the computer, tidied up the desktop, and then looked at the office. There were about ten people still there.

Calling it work overtime is basically just pretending.

Bai Sheng immediately walked towards the door.

…

When Bai Sheng got off the bus, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

The bus station is still 300 meters away from the gate of Runjiayuan Community. From the gate of the community to the building where he is located, he still needs to walk 200 meters.

However, he knew a path that only required walking two hundred meters and then passing through a broken fence to directly reach the building where he was.

Not long after, Bai Sheng walked through a dark and smelly alley and came to the fence.

Bai Sheng used the flashlight of his mobile phone to find the movable railing and pushed it open.

In this way, an entrance that can accommodate an adult man appears.

"Meow!"

Suddenly, a meow came from behind.

Bai Sheng was stunned for a moment, then turned around and shined his flashlight in that direction.

But I saw a civet cat standing on a pile of debris.

"Little Li, I haven't seen you for a few days. I thought you ran away. Just wait here while I go home to get some cat food."

Bai Sheng walked forward, and as he spoke, he reached out to pet the civet cat.

The next second, I saw Xiaoli's body swelled up, and he let out low growls from his mouth.

The cat's fur exploded. It seemed that the cat had seen something terrifying, and its fur exploded.

Bai Sheng was startled by Xiaoli and took a few steps back unconsciously.

However, just as he took a step back, he discovered that something was pressing against his back.

Then, a stench flooded into Bai Sheng's nasal cavity.

"Shouldn't it be empty behind me? And...it smells so bad."

Just when Bai Sheng was about to make a move, the 'thing' he was leaning on suddenly pushed forward.

Then, Bai Sheng saw a sharp claw piercing through his chest.

Through the halo of the flashlight, Bai Sheng could clearly see that the sharp claws were holding a heart that seemed to be beating.

Bai Sheng's body gradually became weak, and his eyelids became heavier and heavier.

He also knew that the heart grabbed by sharp claws was his...

Before he completely lost consciousness, he seemed to hear the sound of chewing.

…

I don't know how long it took before Bai Sheng woke up from the cold ground.

"Ah..." Bai Sheng screamed and kept touching his chest.

"Fuck, what are you talking about? Shut up, labor and management." A loud shout came from afar.

Bai Sheng was startled and looked over there quickly.

But he saw a tall man with a full beard and a height of two meters. He had a cigarette in his mouth and stared at him with an evil expression.

Not only was this bearded man tall, he also had a hideous scar on his cheek, and he even held a machete in his hand.

The blade was flashing with cold light, and it could easily cut through a person's body at a glance.

Such a fierce look made Bai Sheng cover his mouth and did not dare to speak anymore.

When the bearded man saw that Bai Sheng had obeyed and shut up, he immediately withdrew his gaze.

At this time, Bai Sheng began to look at the surrounding environment.

It seems to be a small square, surrounded by flower beds and vegetation.

About twenty meters ahead is a building.

It is already evening now, the breeze is blowing, and there is still a slight coolness.

There is a main road more than ten meters behind, and pedestrians and vehicles pass by from time to time.

Beside him, there were three people, one man and two women.

The man was a bald middle-aged man with one side of his face swollen. He was sitting on the ground nearby, curled up.

The other two women are still in a coma.

And not far away, next to the bearded man sitting on the edge of the flower bed, there was another person, a thin man with a cold face.

What made Bai Sheng concerned was that this thin man seemed to have a... gun on his waist?

At this time, a man wearing a security uniform came from a distance. He actually ignored the two women lying on the ground and walked straight through, as if he didn't notice them.

When Bai Sheng saw this scene, he reacted and quickly chased after the security guard.

When the bearded man saw Bai Sheng like this, he didn't stop him. Instead, he sneered.
